CHAPTER 33 - HIDING THE SECRET !

AUTHORS POV

"No fucking way..."

Massimo glared at Anamika.

"Yes, and you can't stop me, mister..."

Anamika replied glaring at him like a stubborn child.

He chuckled darkly at her and said challenging her.

"Do it, I dare you..."

"I am doing it, watch me..."

She said challenging him back.

She started walking towards her bike which was standing proudly in front of her house shining under

the sunlight. Massimo grabbed her by her waist in a tight grip and she started to struggle.

"You can't fucking win against me, there is no way I am letting you ride this stupid bike..."

He tightened his grip on her.

She stopped struggling and cocked her head towards him.

"But I know how to ride a bike... This is not the first time.. It's safe..."

She argued.

"No, it's dangerous, you can't. This fucking stupid bike is not safe... I swear tigress stop arguing

otherwise you are getting punished... And about safety, you wait..."

He called Mr. Brown outside.

"How many times did she fell from this bike Mr. Brown..."

He asked firmly still holding her in a tight grip.

She pleaded Mr. Brown with her eyes not to say anything but it went in vain.

"Two times..."

Mr. Brown told him, he himself requested anamika to let him ride her but sometimes she becomes so

stubborn that she doesn't listened to anyone.

"See, this is your so called safety..."

He mocked her.

"Yeah... because the road was slippery, it was not my fault... And I got only few scratches here and

there, nothing serious..."

She whined like a child.

"Please Massimo let me do it, please..."

She gave him her puppy eyes hoping that it will work like last time.

He sighed in defeat and let her go from his tight hold. She grinned at him thinking that he agreed but

she was wrong, totally wrong...

He strode towards her bike and before she could react he punctured both the tires.

Her mouth hung opened and she screamed at him.

"Fuck, Massimo... What did you do...you hurt my baby..."

She said caressing her black bike and he rolled his eyes at her causing Mr. Brown to laugh at her

silently. He never saw Anamika behaving this carefree and happy, he always wondered why this young

girl always stayed in solitude but now he was happy seeing her like this.

Anamika was fuming in anger by looking at her favourite bikes condition.

"Stop laughing Mr. Brown you are my bodyguard, you were suppose to stop him..."

She turned towards Massimo angrily, glaring at him and his smirking face was provoking her more.

"You evil man, how dare you hurt my baby... I'll kill you, you just wait..."

She strode towards him and started hitting his chest with her small fists.

While he stood there like a big strong wall, he didn't even flinch once at her delicate punches.

Massimo's smirk deepened and he threw her on his shoulder walking towards his car, she screamed

and started struggling. He slapped her ass hard making her hiss in pain.

"Leave me you stupid evil man, I swear I am going to puncture your favourite cars tire too, you just wait

and watch..."

He chuckled at her and slapped her ass again making her whine.

Placing her in the back seat he sat beside her.

She fixed her top and sat there angrily. She was looking like a cute little red tomato.

He shook his head while chuckling and placed her on his lap like she weighed nothing. She turned her

head away not wanting to look at his arrogant face.

He gripped her jaw and made her look at him, turning her lips into a pout.

"Throw all the tantrums you want tigress but your safety comes first and I have just punctured tires

today, I will break the whole damn bike next time if I saw you riding it, understood...."

He said strictly.

She glared at him.

"I will... Do whatever you want..."

He smirked at her stubbornness and kissed her hard, biting and sucking on her lips. He spared her lips

when she was out of breath, her lips were swollen and it gave him satisfaction.

"You are a monster..."

She said whining like a child making him laugh.

"You have no idea what kind of a monster I am tigress... But forget all this, I have to tell you something

important..."

He said seriously grabbing her attention.

"What important thing..?"

She slid her fingers in his soft hair gently caressing it, listening to him carefully.

He snaked his hands around her waist pulling her even more close if it's even possible.

"We are going to meet my parents tomorrow...I want you to meet them...."

He declared and she tensed in his hold.

"What, your parents, omg Massimo... How can I... I don't know what to do... What if they don't like

me..."

She started blabbering nervously.

"Calm down, baby... You don't have to do anything... They will love you, trust me... Specially my

mother... You don't have to worry about it, people fall in love with you just by your mere sight you don't

have to make any effort..."

He said playfully trying to ease her nervousness.

She huffed thinking 'panicking won't do anything'.

"Okay, fine... But I am still nervous..."

"Don't be, I'll be with you... I'll pick you up tomorrow in the evening okay?..."

He pecked her and she nodded.

He smiled.

"I love you..."

She blushed.

"I love you too..."

And their tongues started dancing with each other again.

TIME SKIP

Massimo was sitting in front of his family like a king. He only showed his lovey dovey side in front of

Anamika. His family also thinks of him as rude and strict mafia boss. No one ever dares to raise their

voice in front him except his mother.

But today they were looking at him like they have seen a ghost.

"Massimo my child, I think you have a fever, darling why don't you call our family doctor..."

His mother said to his father while checking Massimo's forehead.

And his cousins agreed nodding in approval.

"Maa, I am perfectly fine..."

He replied irritatingly.

"Then why are you saying that you are in love... You and love is like east and west..."

His cousin said playfully trying to tease him.

"Shut up..."

Massimo glared at him making him shut his mouth.

"Maa, trust me, she is the best... I love her and you will love her too I am hundred percent sure..."

He said looking at his mother assuring her, who was looking at him in disbelief.

"Really, then bring her home... Atleast let me see who stole your heart... I am so happy for you son,

finally you found love..."

She smiled and everyone hummed in agreement.

"I don't think so, I am telling you that anamika is perfect for you... I don't think your choice is better than

mine..."

His father said shaking his head disappointingly.

"Who is this Anamika, darling..."

His mother asked his father curiously as she never saw her husband talking about someone with this

much adoration.

"I met her at a business meeting one day, she is amazing and beautiful too, I have also asked about

her to my business partners, they all said that she is really good at her work and she is only focused on

her business. They have never heard any scandals or affairs about her, she is well mannered too... I

chose her for Massimo but he is not ready..."

He grimed and Massimo tried his best not to laugh at him.

"I am sure she must be amazing darling. I have never seen you praising someone like this... But

Massimo loves another girl, we can't change it now, atleast let's meet her... I am sure if Massimo picked

her then she is special too..."

She said looking at his father but still he was not ready.

"Whatever, invite your girl let's see whose choice is better..."

His father said challenging him and he smirked.

"Challenge accepted father, I am damn sure that you will love her..."

And everyone looked at him shocked.

They have never seen Massimo like this, specially talking about a girl with so much love.

All of them were stunned specially his cousins because they knew Massimo only fucks woman once

and never looks at them again and now all of them were excited to meet the girl who has wrapped a

Mafia king around her little finger.

He was about to leave but turned back and said in his deadly serious voice.

"And one more important thing, listen to me very carefully... No one and I mean no one will talk about

mafia in front of her. She doesn't know that i am the mafia king and I am not planning to tell her yet and

I am dead serious about it, don't fuck it... You guys understand..."

He stated and everyone nodded rapidly at his threatening tone.

He left the room making everyone gulp...

TIME SKIP

Anamika was standing in front of his house holding Massimo's hand.

She was wearing an elegant maroon colour dress with black heels and her long hair were beautifully

falling on her back, she was looking beautiful.

"Don't be nervous, they will love you..."

Massimo said squeezzing her hand gently.

She nodded and he opened the door for her, he hid her behind his back when they entered the living

room where all his family were waiting for them.

When they entered everyone looked at him excitingly, curious to see who stole his heart.

But his father was not happy, he was the least interested to see that girl and was standing there with a

sulking face.

"Dad..."

Massimo called his father and his father looked at him with bored face.

"Meet the love of my life..."

He said and stepped aside exposing Anamika in front of everyone.

Everyone was stunned after seeing her, she looked so beautiful. Roberto's expressions turned from

bored one to a shocked one instantly.

"Anamika...?"

He called out her name in disbelief and everyone's mouth dropped at this.

Anamika has no idea what is going on but Massimo laughed after seeing everyone's reaction.

"Yes dad, Anamika... I love her..."

He said smiling at his father. His father looked at him confusingly.

"Hello Mr. Marino..."

She greeted him with a nervous smile unsure what he is thinking of her right now.

"Hello Anamika, how are you dear..."

He greeted her happily and in a fatherly voice.

Roberto was also the most feared mafia king before Massimo but he became a happy family man after

giving all his responsibilities to Massimo.

"Ohh my god, Massimo she is so beautiful... Welcome home child..."

His mother anjali said excitingly embracing her in a motherly hug after realising that the father and son

were fighting over the same girl.

"Hello mam, nice to meet you... This is for you, I hope you'll like it..."

She said giving her, her favourite wine bottle as a gift which Massimo suggested her.

"Ohh so sweet of you, thank you so much... It's my favorite..."

She replied smiling at her and Anamika breathed in relief.

"Anamika meet my cousins... He is Matteo.."

He said pointing at the man in his mid twenties he was tall but not more than Massimo.

"He is Antonio..."

Antonio was a young boy in his early twenties.

"And she is Maria, matteo's twin sister and my cousin..."

Maria was a beautiful lady, slim and fit like models with red hair and green eyes.

"We know each other brother... Nice to meet you Miss. Sahay, I didn't expect you here..."

She said shaking her hands professionally with Anamika, giving her a smile.

"Nice to meet you too, Miss. Maria..."

Everyone looked at them confusingly, including Massimo.

"You two know each other?..."

He asked to Maria with scrunched eyebrows.

"Yes, you remember I told you about my fashion show in America, when I needed an investor at the

last movement, she invested in that show and saved our asses at the last moment making the show a

big hit, thanks to her..."

She said smiling at her brother.

"No, Miss. Maria. your work was really good, that's why I invested in it, it was worth it..."

She said genuinely.

"And when did this exactly happened..."

Massimo said narrowing his eyes.

"One year ago..."

Anamika replied and he cursed under his breath.

'So fucking great, I was searching for this woman for six months and my own cousin was sitting at my

home with her address, great..' he thought to himself annoyingly.

They all greeted each other and sat at the dining table.

Massimo sat in the headchair and Anamika on his left side and his father and mother on right side

along with his cousins.

"So, Anamika how did you guys met... Tell us, because Massimo won't tell us anything.."

Antonio asked her excitingly, flashing his cheeky smile.

"Well... we met 9 months ago at a club but we started dating 3 months ago..."

She replied casually.

Roberto raised his eyebrows at his son and Massimo whispered to him with a smirk.

"I wanted to surprise you, I hope you liked it..."

And Roberto smirked back.

"Yeah, definitely son..."

"Are you living in Italy with your family, dear.."

Anjali asked and Anamika tensed.

Massimo saw it and held her hand under the table gently.

"Her family died in an accident, maa... She doesn't have a family..."

He replied in a cold voice and Anamika looked at him, he gave her an assuring look making her relax.

"I am so sorry, dear..."

Anjali apologized in genuine tone. Belongs © to .

"It's ok, mam... But I have a foster brother, he is more than a family to me... He really loves me like his

daughter... He is in America with his husband... I live here alone..."

She replied smiling.

"Good to hear that dear... And please don't call me mam, all my kids here call me maa and same goes

for you, from now on I am your maa too.."

She said giving her a toothy smile and Anamika happily accepted that.

They all ate their dinner while talking and asking each other questions, like a big happy family... No one

talked about mafia as per Massimo's instructions...

They all liked Anamika and she liked them too, which made Massimo relaxed.

First because they liked her and second because they didn't fucked up by spilling his beans in front of

her.

It was time for her to leave now.

She said good bye to everyone.

"You can call me dad now, Anamika... See Massimo solved our problems about names and stuffs..."

He said laughing playfully at Anamika.

"Ofcourse, dad..."

She said and everyone laughed like a big happy family.

Massimo dropped her at home.

They were standing in front of her house.

"I will miss you, Massimo.."

She pouted.

"Mee too, baby... But it's an important business deal, I have to attend it.. just for 2 days... I'll be back in

no time..."

He caressed her cheeks.

"I understand, take care and come fast..."

She pecked his lips.

"You don't have to tell me that baby, I will come here from Russia as soon as I am done with the

meeting..."

He chuckled. She nodded at that and they kissed passionately under the dark blue sky like two

lovebirds. They broke the kiss and hugged each other possessively.

But someone was hiding in the dark watching everything and he didn't like it...
