Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 10

Alessandro's POV:-

"Yes, Melody you can do whatever with the room. I don't know what she likes or not so don't bother me to ask about anything. If you have any doubt kindly call Bianca, I am sure she can help you with everything." I say on the phone. Melody being Melody is talking nonstop about how she wants everything to be perfect when I bring my bride at the mansion.

When she first heard about my wedding she started to scold Samuel because she didn't want me to marry anyone without knowing the person well. However, when Samuel showed her Anhuphama's photo, her perspective toward the marriage changed drastically. She kind of ordered me to marry the girl as soon as possible.

Only a handful of people know about the real connection between us, she is not just a cook for me but a mother figure in my life. The orphanage in Italy where I brought up was Melody's father's. She used to visit us a lot during her free time and took care of us. But I had never talked to her willingly although she always tried to make me feel better. Soon after she got married to a doctor and went to another city. She didn't use to come often to the orphanage anymore and that's when I realized how much she meant to me. After I turned 18, I moved to Australia for higher studies, and soon at the age of 23, I started my own company with the help of my friends. Then I moved back to Los Angeles and had decided to settle in there forever. However, I didn't expect to meet Melody after so many years in Los Angeles but she was not the same cheerful woman anymore. I got to know how her husband and daughter died in an accident leaving her all alone. She had to sell flowers to survive because she didn't have anywhere to go, her father was already dead when I got out of the orphanage and the orphanage is now a government property. So I decided to take her home with me but she didn't listen to me. After a lot of struggle, she agreed to come with me but with a demand that she would cook for me in return.

"Sandro, are you hearing or not boy?" Melody's loud voice pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry Melody I was thinking about something but can you please not call me Sandro? I hate the nickname." I greet my teeth in anger. She knows well how much I hate this name still that's never stopped her from calling me that awful name.

"Okay, fine Mr. Bianchi. I hope you are happy now." She replies curtly. Uggghhh this woman.

"Look I will call you later. I have a party to attend-" she cuts me off with her damn yelling.

"HOW CAN YOU DITCH YOUR OWN WEDDING? HOW CAN YOU LEAVE THAT SWEET GIRL WAITING? YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ANY PARTY." I am sure my ears are bleeding by the time she stops yelling. I huff before tossing the phone to Samuel who is smiling evilly at me since Melody has called. I walk into the washroom to get ready for the party/wedding. Mr. Sengupta has asked me if I can perform some rituals for the marriage but I have told him that I don't believe in God or any ritual so I only want to sign the marriage certificate and go away from here.

After getting dress in a tuxedo I walk out of the washroom. I get near the nightstand before opening the drawer to take out the things I have told Bianca to order. She has done tremendous work in finding the perfect things for my liking. I take the things and get out of my room to see that Samuel and Bianca are chatting between them. Both of them have dressed very nicely if I say so myself.

"Do we have everything that can be needed during the marriage?" I ask them.

"Yes, I have all the important documents of yours," Bianca informs me.

"I have told the pilot to get the jet ready by tomorrow because we will be leaving at 1 pm," Samuel says.

"Good job," I tell them before going inside the elevator. They both stand behind me for some reason when we have so much place in the elevator. They start to talk in hush voices as if they don't want me to hear what they are talking about. When the elevator gets on the ground floor we go towards the car that is waiting for us. Soon enough we reach Sengupta mansion before getting out of the car. There is low music coming out of the mansion so I guess that the guests must have started to come already. But before we can get inside I saw that Mr. Sengupta's sister-in-law along with some other ladies has started to come towards us. I look at them curiously because they have something in their hands.

"Welcome, Mr. Bianchi." Mr. Sengupta's sister-in-law greets me with a small smile. I smile in return not knowing what to say.

"I know you don't want to perform any ritual but I just want to do a little ritual of welcoming you in our traditional way as you will be a son-in-law of us. I hope you don't mind me doing it." She says calmly. I want to oppose her but seeing the hope in her eyes I can only nod in answer. She puts something on my forehead before doing something with the thing in her hand. Then, in the end, she starts to move the thing in a round motion in front of me before feeding me some sweets which I really don't like. But I just stand there letting her do whatever she wants because I have observed that she means a lot to my would-be wife.

"Now you can come inside." She instructs me before going ahead of us. We start to move behind her and soon enough we get inside the house which is decorated very beautifully. Mr. Sengupta along with his brother come towards us and greet us politely. They introduced me to some of their guests and business associates. I get to know that Mr. Sengupta's brother is not a part of the family business because he is a painter and he doesn't have any interest in business. I have to say the man is really an interesting person to talk with. I haven't seen

However, the voices around the party suddenly stop as if they have seen something fascinating. Samuel tap me on the shoulder before motioning me to look at my right side. No word can describe the feeling I am having seeing the woman in front of me. Beautiful or gorgeous will be nothing compared to the elegance that is descending the stairs in a red saree. I have never thought before that by not revealing much skin, a person can look so wonderful. However, her eyes hold an empty look as if someone has taken something valuable from her. I feel bad for marrying her without her will but I know I will make her happy by giving her any luxury she wants.
