Chapter 48: Ch.47/ Business Trip Or Trap
Anupama''s POV:-
Life is good so far and if it''s possible I want it to be the way it is now. After getting to know that my
biological child is none other than Advira, my heart felt like bursting with happiness but at the same
time I felt like I have failed to protect her from the cruel hands of my Thakurmaa and Pishimaa.
However, I don''t want to think about them anymore because that will only make me hate them more
than before. Right now I only want to concentrate on my family and my unborn child.
Of course, I have other important thing to do like my office work as well as my study. I want to forget
every bad thing about my past and live my present happily while surrounded by my loved ones. Advira
is going to turn three years old in two months which means I will be three months pregnant by then. I
am extremely happy that this year we will be celebrating her birthday on the real date of her birth. Yes,
that''s right. Jasmine di didn''t want to reveal Advira''s identity so she didn''t tell me the real birth date of
Advira before because then I could have suspected something was wrong. But this year I am going to
celebrate her birthday the way my baby deserves. Till now I can only bake a little cake for her on her
birthday because of the restrictions given by Thakurmaa but not anymore.
"Mum-mum me go potty." Advira says while tugging my sleeve.
"Okay baby. You go to the bathroom and mum-mum will be there in a minute." I reply to her and she
runs inside the bathroom putting both of her hands in her bum making meugh. I fetch some clothes
for her to wear along with a diaper before going inside the bathroom to bathe her afterward.
Ie out of the bathroom with her in my arms after half an hour and take her to the yroom where
her brothers are ying already. Upon seeing their baby sister they stop whatever they are doing
before running towards us. I put Advira down on the floor and let the dogs sniff her as they always do it
to detect any danger. After that, theye near me and push their snout one by one to my tummy as if
they are trying to sniff the little bean.
"You silly boys. You guys need to wait for some more months to sniff your sibling directly." I tell them
with a giggle. Scout the most dramatic one out of the dogs starts to whine.
"Scout don''t whine baby. I know you love the little bean and want to meet him or her. But we have to
wait for some time." I say while petting the husky. King bark at Scout making him whimper and stop
whining.
"King that''s not how you treat your baby brother. Now,e on kiss him." I say sternly and King lick
Scout''s ear as if saying sorry. I beam at them and tell them to y till the lunch get ready. After kissing
all the kids Ie out of the yroom and walk down the stairs to go to the backyard. My phone starts
ringing so I pick up the call when I notice that Riya is calling me. I receive the call and sit down on the
swing.
"So finally someone has found time to call me." Iment over the phone.
"I am so sorry Anu for not calling for some days. Actually, a lot of things are going around that I am not
getting much time to spend on the phone." Riya replies.
"Okay, I am not angry with you. I am just teasing you but may I know why are you so busy?" I ask while
signing some important documents.
"Please don''t freak out when I tell you." She replies making me frown. I put the file beside me before
giving her my full concentration.
"What are you going to say that you think I will freak out?" I ask curiously.
"I am getting married in three months." She replies making my eyes widen.
"Are you listening to yourself Riya? What is this rubbish?" I ask not believing her.
"I am saying the truth, Anu. Mom has fixed my marriage with her friend''s son who has a lot of money
and lives in London." She replies with a fake pleased tone making me understand that she is not happy
with the marriage.
"Riya I can tell by the tone of voice that you are not happy with the marriage then why have you agreed
to get married?" I inquire.
"No one knows Mom better than you so you should also know that she never asks for anything, she
only orders and that''s what she has done again. Also, after what happened in LA I don''t think I have
any right to defy her." She answers back with a sigh.
"Why don''t you understand that whatever happened is not your fault so you don''t have to guilty about
anything. I am telling you Riya, don''t do anything stupid just to fulfill Pishimaa''s demand. She doesn''t
have any say in who you are going to marry because she only knows how to destroy others life." I let
out in anger without thinking.
"Are you okay, Anu?" She asks and that''s when I realize that I was going to say what Pishimaa had
done in the past. I don''t want to tell anything to Riya about Advira''s reality because that will only make
the situation worse. That''s why I have asked Kakai and Dadabhai to don''t disclose anything to Baba,
Mamoni, and Riya.
"Yes, I am alright. It''s just that I am not feeling well today so I am getting hyper for simple matters." I
reply while trying to control my anger.
"I shouldn''t have told you about the marriage. You are pregnant and I have heard that the first three
months are very risky so you need to take very good care of yourself." I smile hearing her words
because I still remember the way she treated me in the past. But now everything is different between
us and I am very happy with the way we have improved our rtionship.
"Yes, I am taking good care of myself and you know Alessandro is not even letting me go to the
company. So, I am doing my work from home." I reply making herugh.
"That''s good to know. Also, I wish that you will be bringing a cute and healthy little one. By the way, you
guys need toe here to my wedding because I want you to be with me on that day." She lets out.
"We will definitelye. But are you sure that you want to marry the person chosen by Pishimaa?" I
ask again.
"I am 100% sure that I want to get married. You just need toe here with everyone. I will talk to you
later, bye." She replies.
"Hmm, bye." I answer and disconnect the call with a sigh. She is making a mistake and I can''t let her
do this without trying to help her. I know she still has feelings for Marco but the stupid girl doesn''t want
to ept it. I think I need to tell Marco about Riya''s marriage because if he also has feelings for her
then he will do anything to stop this marriage.

Alessandro''s POV:-
"But why am I hearing about this meeting now when you have gotten so many days to inform me?" I
ask angrily over the phone.
"I am sorry for my negligence Mr. Bianchi but you need toe here for the meeting asap." Come a
timid reply from the other side.
"Fine, I will be there by tomorrow." I answer and cut the call without waiting for any response. I rub my
forehead feeling a headache growing because of the heavy workload. I want toplete my important
works before Anhuphama''s delivery date because I don''t want to miss anything. I know we still have a
lot of time but time flies very quickly and I have some crucial deals to make so that I can give my
utmost time to my wife and baby after delivery.
But now I have to go to Bristol for three days because of a business deal. I don''t want to leave
Anhuphama alone but I can''t take her with me as she is in her first trimester. So, she can not travel
because that can risk the pregnancy. I think it will be better if Mama stays with her in the mansion. So,
without wasting any time I call Mama to see if she cane or not.
"Of course I wille and take care of my daughter. Also, I have made some of my little princess''s
favorite cookies so I can give that to her." Mama replies making me sigh in relief.
"Thank you so much, Mama. Now, I can go to Bristol without worrying about Anhuphama.'' I tell her.
"No need to thank me, boy. Now, I am going to cut the call because I have to pack some clothes." By
saying this she cuts the call. I shake my head at her antics before going back to review some papers. I
inform Bianca about our trip to Bristol and also tell her to book hotel rooms for our stay.
I quickly finish my work in thepany and then arrive at the mansion to get ready for the trip. When I
get inside my bedroom I don''t see Anhuphama there making me worried about her because she is
supposed to be resting at this time. So, I dial her number and when she picks up the call she tells me
that she is in our daughter''s room. I ask her toe to our room because I have something to tell her.
After that, I take off my zer and cufflinks. I pull out luggage from the closet and start packing my
clothes for three days. I hear footstepsing towards the closer so I turn around and see that
Anhuphama is standing on the doorstep with confusion clear on her face.
"Why are you packing your clothes, Alessandro?" She asksing inside the closet.
"I am sorry tesoro but I need to leave for Bristol in two hours." I reply while wrapping my arms around
her waist before pulling her to my chest.
"But why so suddenly? You didn''t say anything this morning when you have left this morning." She
comins and gives me an using look.
"I know I didn''t tell you about this trip but I didn''t even know myself about anything. I just get a phone
call this afternoon saying that I need to attend the meetings in Bristol or mypany will lose a big
project. You know, I don''t care about money but I also need to think about my employees too who has
been working on this project for so many months. So, in the end I have decided to go there to finalize
the deal." I exin to her and she nods her head in understanding.
"Fine but please try toe soon. I don''t like to sleep without holding you and this little bean is also
going to miss your warmth." She says making me smile at her adorable thoughts.
"Of course I will being back in three days. But till then you need to look after yourself. Also, I have
called Mama and she is going to stay with you." I reply while turning to fold my clothes but she takes
the shirt from my hands before folding it correctly.
"Jasmine di and Dadabhai are here already then why did you tell Mama Melody toe here? Uncle
Gabriel will miss having her with him." She says while putting the clothes inside the luggage.
"I know that Mr. Ganguly and Mrs. Ganguly will be here but both of them have works so you will be
alone with the kids. So, you will feel better if Mamaes here." I tell her and put my hands on her
stomach before rubbing it lightly. I turn her around and crouch down in front of her stomach before
kissing it gently.
"What are you doing?" She asks while running her hand through my hair.
"I am kissing the little bean because I won''t be able to kiss him or her for three days." I reply before
nuzzling her stomach making her chuckle.
"The little bean will also miss you. But don''t worry I will tell him or her that you wille soon." She
says lovingly. I stand up and pull her for a kiss. I want to ravish her so badly but Mrs. Ganguly has
warned us not to do anything hectic because that can cause some difficulties in the pregnancy. So, I
kiss her for some more time before telling her that I am going to change my clothes.
I take a quick shower and put on ck jeans along with a white t-shirt because it has been quite warm
nowadays so I don''t want to wear formal clothes. After getting out of the bathroom I notice that
Anhuphama is not in the room so I assume she must be in the kitchen packing some snacks for me.
She doesn''t like it when I eat outside so she tries to give me homemade food whenever she can.
My guess was right because I find her in the kitchen packing her famous mac & cheese for me. Mama
has already arrived so she is also helping her in the kitchen. Upon seeing me Mamaes towards
me and gives me a big hug.
"Your wife is getting very strict Sandro. She is not letting me help her as she tells me to rest as if I am
the pregnant one." Mama whispers in my ear making me chuckle.
"I agree Mama. She is bing a lot dangerous too." I whisper back making both of usugh.
"Why are you guysughing?" Anhuphama asksing standing in front of us but we give her an
innocent smile in which she rolls her eyes at us.
"You are supposed to be resting tesoro." I tell her.
"I will be resting after you leave. I just want to make something for you and the maids helped me too."
She replies with a pout.
"There is every type of food avable in the jet so you didn''t need to make anything for me." I tell her
but she gives me a re making me shut up.
"When I am fully capable of cooking your favorite things then why do you insist on eating outside?" She
asks while putting her hands on her hips making me gulp in fear. I have seen how pregnant women
behaved so I should have kept quiet.
"Okay, fine then don''t take anything with you and from now on I won''t be making anything for you." She
replies before walking out of there.
"Boy, why did you open your mouth? You have seen Bianca during her pregnancy two times then you
should have known better than saying anything to your pregnant wife." Mama says with augh.
"I was just trying to make her understand that she doesn''t need to work. But I think now I have to say
sorry to her." I reply with a sigh. I call out Anhuphama''s name but don''t get any reply. So, I dial her
number but she cuts my call.
"Boss the car is ready. We need to leave now or we will bete." Samuel informs whileing into the
mansion.
"Just wait for five minutes and I wille outside," I reply to him. He nods his head in response and
take my luggage with him. I look at the stairs to see that my angry wife is walking down holding the
hand of our daughter and the dogs are following behind them.
"Where go Papa?" My princess asks with a frown.
"I am going on a business trip baby girl." I reply after picking her up in my arms.
"Okay bute soon. No dote." She orders while folding her hands in front of her chest. I kiss her
on the forehead and cheeks.
"I will be back in three days princess and I will bring a gift for you." I tell her. She nods her head in
excitement before hugging me tightly. I chuckle at her excitement before putting her down on the floor.
Then I crouch down to my big boys'' level and pet them on their heads.
"You guys need to look after your mum and your siblings. Papa will be back in a few days so till then
you guys are going to guard the house." I tell them and they bark in return. I smile at them and stand
up before going towards my angry wife who is looking quite upset. I put my finger under her chin before
raising her face to make her look at me.
"Please don''t be angry with me, Cara. I was only looking out for you." I tell her.
"I am neither angry nor upset. I just don''t know how to tell what I am feeling." She mumbles making me
smile.
"It''s natural to feel like this, Cara. I am sure that you have felt the same when you were pregnant with
our princess so I am not surprised with your mood swings." I let out and hug her gently. She wraps her
arms around my torso before burying her face in my chest. I am really bad about leaving her alone but
seriously I don''t have any other choice left.

"Okay, now I have to go or I won''t be able to leave in time." I tell her before pulling away from the hug.
"I love you." She says with a small smile.
"I love you too." I reply and kiss her on the lips making her blush. I smile at her before getting inside the
car. I look at her worriedly but she smiles at me as if letting me know that she will be okay.
But I can not get off the feeling of losing her from my chest. This feels like I am saying goodbye to her
for not three days, but for a long time. I shake my head to clear my head because with all the security
around her nothing can be happened to her. I look at her and our kids for one more time before waving
my hand at them. The car starts moving and soon we are on our way to the airport for the trip.

Anupama''s POV:-
I try to give an assuring smile at Alessandro not wanting him to see my upset face. He looks at me
worriedly as if he knows that something is wrong.
However, he looks relieved after seeing my smiling face. He waves his hand with a smile and I along
with Advira wave our hand in response while the boys bark. Soon, the car starts moving and in no time
I lost sight of the car making me sad. I don''t know why I am feeling so sad when I know that he will be
back in three days. Still, my heart is beating so fast that it feels like it can burst any moment.
"Are you okay dolcezza?" Mama Melody asks while checking my temperature to see if I am alright or
not.
"I am fine, Mama. I think I just need some rest then I will feel better." I reply with a forced smile. She
doesn''t ask any more questions which is good because I don''t want to talk about anything. I am getting
a feeling that something bad is going to happen and this time no one will be able to make things better.
Please God, keep my husband safe and healthy.
