Chapter 10

Earlier in the morning Alessandro got the call from Frank. They met at Alessandro place with the details about Henry.

"Did you find any defaults?" Alessandro had croaked face questioning, Frank.

"I did and not a tiny but this can lock him in the jail for many years," Frank smirked.

"Start spiling," Alessandro demanded.

"Henry Jr. has not revealed the biggest part relating the land. He can never sell the land." Frank revealed.

"What the crap are you talking about?" Alessandro shouted.

"Yes, his father Henry Sr. has mentioned in his will that he is just a guardian of the land and if he tries to sell the land, it will automatically go to the orphanage."

"Are you kidding me?" Alessandro screamed in surprise again getting a shook from Frank.

"Here is the copy of the will, Henry did not mention about any will during the contract, he can be sued for fraudulent and scam. He will rot in jail for seven years at least." Frank exposed Henry.

"That bastard tried to cheat  me!" Alessandro gritted his teeth. "Find the original papers of will and draft the notice of scam against him," Alessandro ordered.

"Sure but it might take a day or two," Frank informed.

Alessandro thought he had to hold the marriage for two days maximum. "Not more than that but be ready for anything," Alessandro warned Frank for the emergency.

After the chat with Frank, Alessandro was a little calm, he had found the key to defeat Henry and win Bianca. She was more than the fortunes he had earned whole life and he was not letting her go. Not now when he was all set to cut off the only obstacle in his way to be with Bianca, to make her his, his queen, his universe.

With the excitement, Alessandro was in cloud nine that he canceled all his meetings and took his day off just to concentrate on wooing Bianca. He remembered Bianca liked lasagna so he quickly googled the recipe and wore an apron.

As shown in the video, he tried his best to prepare the dish accordingly but to his might he could not even cut an onion into pieces. First the tears leaked and second he wiped it with the same hand.

"When did cooking got so hard?" Alessandro muttered but did not lose his hope.

Two hours he prepared the lasagna after investing his blood, sweat and tears.

"Finally!" He sighed and looked at his accomplishment with awe.

Just then he heard someone coming down the stairs. "Must be my angel." Alessandro smiled and walked towards the stairs and caught the devastated looking Bianca.

Soon Alessandro got to know about Henry's cunning trick. He had become a ball of anger inside but remained sane in front of Bianca. He could not scare her and lose her.

Even though Frank fidgeted with the urgent call from Alessandro, he got what he wanted and right now he had protected his angel.

"How?" Bianca asked with surprise and confusion.

"He tried to trick me, the land he was selling was never sellable, so he will be sued under fraudulent and scam case," Alessandro explained Bianca.

"Wow!" Bianca whispered.

"Now you all can go back and live at your old place, I won't build a hotel there." Alessandro consoled.

"Really?" Alessandro nodded his head just to get an excited hug from Bianca taking him in surprise.

"Thank you so much." Bianca thanked him.

"Everything for you." He muttered.

"Did you say anything?" Bianca queried.

"Nothing. Let's have brunch, I specially made it for you." Alessandro said proudly to which Bianca gulped her saliva. What could he make now? He could not boil water properly the previous day.

"What did you make?" Bianca asked suspiciously.

"Sit down here, your brunch will be served here," Alessandro said and walked inside kitchen and came with two plates in his hands.

As he placed the plate down, Bianca was surprised with the view of the food. It looked surprisingly good and hoped it tasted the same.

"Take a bite." Alessandro encouraged and Bianca took a spoon in her mouth and it was.... too salty but could she tell him?

"How is it?" He asked with hopeful eyes.

"Umm- It's tasty." She nodded and took another spoon and another to console him.

But when it was Alessandro's time to taste the food, Bianca's eyes became bigger. Not even a second later Alessandro spit all the food out of his mouth.

"That's too salty and trashy," Alessandro commented.

"How did you even eat that? You must have been honest with me." Alessandro demanded.

"You kept a lot of effort to make it and I could not discourage you," Bianca muttered.

"Come here," Alessandro asked and Bianca came closer to him. He quickly pecked her forehead and hugged her tight.

"You look so cute when you lie and get caught." Alessandro chuckled.

"Come here," Alessandro asked and Bianca came closer to him. He quickly pecked her forehead and hugged her tight.

"You look so cute when you lie and get caught." Alessandro chuckled.

With Alessandro's action Bianca was dumbfounded and watched him in surprise. What just happened? Did he just kiss her? Does that mean anything?

She shook her head and cupped her cheeks which were red as a cherry.

"I-I must go now." Bianca stammered.

"Where?" Alessandro whispered in her ear.

"To-to shift back," She replied.

"Let me drive you." He smelled her hair, inhaling all strawberry flavored shampoo.

"I-I"

Right then Darren entered the mansion breaking the moment between two newly budding hearts.

"Hey man! You canceled all of your meetings today. Are you sick.... or not?" Darren reached inside the living room just to witness Alessandro and Bianca positioned very close. 'What were they doing?' he thought and shrunk his forehead trying to analyze the situation.

Little did he know the temperature of the living room was above normal. "God! I need some cold water, why is it so hot?" Darren huffed and walked towards the kitchen.

On the other hand Alessandro was beyond than disappointed that their magical moment was over and all because of Darren. "Stupid" He muttered making Bianca giggle.

Shifting the orphanage was less hectic than thought. Bianca introduced Alessandro to Roma and explained to her how Henry tricked both Bianca and Alessandro. Roma was happy that her child should not sacrifice herself but had eyes on Alessandro. What was his objective to help her, help them?

But soon she solved the puzzle. The answer was Bianca. He had his eyes on her and this time those eyes held care, sincerity, commitment and above all... love. He loved her. Roma smiled with satisfaction and laughed how oblivious Bianca was about her surroundings, she was such a pure soul.

"Alessandro, Can I have a talk with you?" Roma asked Alessandro.

"Sure, why not? Please excuse us." Both of them moved toward a private space.

"Why are you helping us?" She needed confirmation.

"I owe Bianca. She saved my life  and this is the least I could do." Alessandro replied safely.

"I understood she saved you and did a great deed, now tell me why did you help us?" This time Alessandro hesitated. Should he reveal his agenda to a stranger? But she was like Bianca's mother.

"I like her." Alessandro blurt and Roma smirked.

"Many men do." Roma smiled. "She is a very lovable girl and one of the possessive men just tried taking everything from us and act as guardian to Bianca. What are your tricks?" Roma folded her arms.

"I don't doubt on Bianca's popularity among men. Even everyone here is charmed by her but I don't want to impose myself on her. Only she can decide whether I stay in her life permanently or temporary but I can try my luck." Alessandro smiled.

"That's the only thing I wanted to hear. Treat her well, she is very precious to me." Roma indirectly gave her blessings to him to which Alessandro promised her to do the same.
