“DATE?” she frowned . Falcone smiled and came close to her.

“Yes Tesoro! Date!”

“Master, I don't date at all. These kinds of actions won’t melt me. Please leave me alone” She spat. Falcone smiled looking her all red in anger

“Then there is no escape tesoro!”

“How can you easily say this…my wish and consent never mattered to you.” Falcone decreased the space and came to her. He cupped her face which made her freeze.

“You always mattered to me Darling in every aspect. I always denied and suppressed that feeling. I was biased and acted accordingly. I am at fault. I am ready to do anything to get you back. Just I need a chance. Our kids need us, not you or me only. Please try to understand” Falcone said in his most deep and husky voice.

“You are changed, Master!”

“Yes I am changed Darling and it’s only for you. Your longing was the worst punishment for me. Punish me in the worst way Dini but don’t leave me.”

“But how have you changed ? This slut and whore was only to be kept in limit. If I was slut then ? then how I am innocent now. DOn’t try to play me “

“No…don't call yourself with these words” Falcone felt embarrassing

Nandini chuckled painfully"you graced me with these words "

"I know, I am at fault, that's why I am asking you to forgive me. love You have all rights to be angry, and hate me …i gave you wounds now I am ready to tend to them. It's nothing to be compare of your pain…but please let me"

"I am no saint Master. I was taken here forcefully or you can say in my unconscious state. My wounds are bleeding but I don't want to tend them. Let them bleed because they are telling me to fight till your last breath. Don't believe anyone this world is full of wolves…..ready to pounce on you. I don't need you silly apologies because I won't work. So don't waste your and my time CAPO"

"Tesoro liste.."

“No you listen! Very loud and clear that is I am not interested in any kind of date and trying to know you. I am not interested in your so-called world . I am happy with my life in my place. You were never the first or last because you were never in my mind Master. SO don’t fool me and yourself. “

“Dini, you don’t understand, I can provide you with all facilities, even kids. I can provide them shelter and safety. I wanted to parent my own son…P….P..Please! Only one chance.”

“I was helpless too, I was nothing in front of you, I begged and asked for freedom ? Have you ever given? How can you ask for a chance when you don’t like to give any one. Master you and me are two shores never meant to be together. I never saw a dream which I can’t fulfill.”

“Dini”

“No, I was forcefully married, battered and molested. Where was my consent? I was again dragged into the same pit where I never wanted to return. Damien is my son. I never let your shadow on him.”

“You can’t snatch my right?”

“Who gave you right?”

“Sweety DOn’t be stubborn. Please for their future and safety..”

“Safety? Future? What an irony Master? A criminal who needs thousands of soldiers and guns to keep himself safe will provide safety?” Nandini chuckled. Falcone was ashamed but not lost hope.

“Dini you agree or not…but you know I am powerful. If I am determined to get anything I will get any way…who knows better than you? I am late but not that I can not take care of my mistake. I Falcone D’ALberto ask for five dates with you every month. I will try to move according to you and prove myself a responsible DAD. Only a mother can decide if her husband is a good father or not. So the five months for me to prove as a good father and Dates to prove a good husband. WIll you give me a chance ?”

“Never Mr. Alberto.” Nandini scurried away.

“Then take time to decide. Because I wouldn't let you go this time……I am dead sure. Welcome to my humble abode WIfe!” She was reprimanded and threw a disgusted look.

Falcone smiled again “Fratello you were right but not always. Dini you will give me a chance I know and I will wait.”

Falcone came to his office and joined the meeting. Amber discussed some matters which needed his attention. Falcone was not at all interested to be involved in office due to Nandini’s health and kids.But when Amber took Ferrell’s name he had no choice but attend the office. Ferrall came to Falcone and bowed his head. He took a file from his assistant and forwarded to Amber. Amber looked at the file while Falcone sniffed his dark brown Moroccan cigar which was specially made by Ferral’s Team in South Africa.

Falcone smirked appreciatively. Ferrall felt proud and sat when Falcone gestured to him.

Ferrall was one of the companions of Falcone who could do anything. Falcone tested him many times but everytime he completed all his tasks in due time but also with clean chit. He is the second most reliable person in Falcone’s business who can lay his life without any remorse but Falcone knew the value of such a person.

He always appreciated Amber too but never gave him satisfaction. He wanted Aspan to join him to take the business but he always refused. Ferrall looked at Falcone who was puffing his cigar, closing his eyes then to Amber.

“Capo! All the recovery has been done along with the five thousand billion Euro drugs which are stored in Namibia. Soon the delivery will start. I will make sure as per the formula shared by you these opium will register highest demand and consumption.” Ferrall completed.

“Ferr! Am I brutal? Amber and Ferrall looked at Falcone surprisingly.

“Tell me truth” Falcone puffed out a big smoke and looked at Ferrall

“Umm Y..Y..yes C..Capo you are merciless and unforgivable. You always punished the culprit and made sure to make everyone learn to never betray you and the organization.”

“Well That’s good Ferr! I am impressed. But this time I punished an innocent. I am brutal and I hate simple and innocent” Falcone off his cigar in ashtray “ but now I want such person…I got to know the addictive company of these kind of people.” Ferrall gulped hard as this was new for him but he was sure there was something that was bugging Capo.

“Capo just order “

“It’s not business, Ferr! I am talking with you like a companion which we were ten years ago.” Ferrall remembered but look straight

“Did I make any mistakes, Capo? Did I do something you don’t like?”

“How is Kira Ferr?” color drained from Ferrell’s face. He was scared only from Falcone, not even death. Kira was his girlfriend and the survivor from the mission he completed in Namibia at that time. She was orphan and very sweet

He found her in the hotel that was attacked. Ferrell was on the mission to assassin the mayor of Namibia. But there was already chaos and everything was messed up. He saved Kira from the attack and took her to his place. She was alone so he took her home. He was mesmerized for the first time in his life looking at Kira. She was very talkative and rebellious. He loved her nature. He didn't reveal that he was in the mafia. He did everything to keep her in the mansion by pretending someone was looking for her. She was an NGO activist. That proved to be a handful for him. She loved her life and was protected in a mansion so she chose to live there.

Soon they came close and expressed their love and now they were planning for marriage. Ferrell was in a dilemma when he felt smoke in his nostrils. He looked and found Falcone just above standing. He realized that he didn't answer so he composed

"Fine Capo! We are getting married in two weeks." Ferrell elucidated

“Y..you invited Capo. We are doing a private ceremony then we have a big party.”

"When did you start hiding Ferr? I really don't like it. That girl made you hide things from me , later she will instigate you in every matter and…..i hate any kind of disturbance. Kira is a disturbance!" Falcone smiled again

"Absolutely not Capo!" Farrell defended.

"You are too defensive…impressive" Ferrell slapped himself mentally for the mistake.

"Pardon Capo!"

"Not accepted!" Falcone's voice dark

"Kira is a danger! Ferr!" Falcone seated on his chair

“No Capo!I ..I m..mean I think there is a misunderstanding. I request you to please attend the wedding.” Ferrall defended

“Wedding or your funeral?” Ferrell was dumbfouded.

"She is transmitted by Anastas to get hold of drug dealing and assassins. Your marriage is planned for a carnel…a deadly one."

Ferrell was beyond shocked.

“Kiiraa!” Ferrell couldn’t oppose as the information was given by Capo himself. It was too much.

"Amber!" Falcone called Amber who was hurt too looking at this new Ferrell. Who was betrayed, broken and fooled. The deadliest assassin and Capo of Africa, who demolishes every rebel and stands the collapsed business of Africa , was defeated….by a mere girl.

Ferrell was remembering each and every thing when they met. He found nothing suspicious but sometimes she was beyond irritated when he did not disclose about his business and deals. She was always motivating him to work and even helped her in his work.

“Yes Ferr! Kira was plotted to your home and then get the information about?” Ferrell was shocked and froze at his place. He was thinking how he got fooled by a mere girl. He did a background check on her.

“N..N..No.Noo. Capo is an orphan and also working in an NGO. I did a background check”

“That’s true! KIRA is alive in the records due to some mistakes by officials but she is not alive. She was an orphan and worked in the NGO but she was died in the road accident which was a planned murder as she did the complain about the authority about ME.” Both heads moved to Falcone.

“I didn’t record everyone who I killed and how many I have killed but KIRA Samor is the name of that NGO girl. Come on, we are in the mafia and MERCY never existed in our dictionary.” Falcone take a look of Ferrell and forwarded a drink to him

“Capo! I am ready to get any punishment, even resign from my Capo's position or you can Shoot me! I don't deserve to live ”

"It's my call to decide ferr ! About punishment ?I surely did if you were wrong Ferr! You did every precaution for your business but the facts were false and displayed like it all happened in the past but showed in today’s era. You know what you have to do”

He looked at Falcone and chuckled sadly “ Still I am the incompetent.” Amber felt bad

“Love always makes you take sensitive decisions. You assumed the wrong person to be right and right to wrong. Shit happens.have this drink and prepare for another war my friend.”

“You will get news early!” Ferrell understood and took the steps to the door. He wiped his lone tear which he was stopping and came back to hug Falcone.

Amber gave him some papers and a phone of Kira which was stolen by Falcone's order.

" It has all the data" Ferrell took the things and looked at Falcone.

“you are fortunate that you are seeing me emotionally for the first and the last time.” Falcone chuckled and threw a puff of smoke on his face

“Gladly!”

Falcone knew what storm was going on in his head and mind. He was the only person who was like a machine. First time he defended and he knew what kind of torment was going on his mind but this made him stronger emotionally.

After some days:-

Nandini was roaming in the garden and irritated as a female guard and a nurse cume caretaker who was with her like shadow. It was a torcher…pure torcher for her. She was cursing Falcone for this. Aspan got a new job with kids. He was appointed to make them enrolled with their schools and specially for Edwin as he was a brilliant science student. Aspan was working when he found Nandini roaming in the garden as per instruction of her dietician . She was here from some days and Falcone was taking care of her like a baby. She was not allowed to do any work. Every hour her dietician visits her and checks her.

“Rapunzel! Come here!” Aspan shouted to call her.

Nandini felt happy as she got him to talk about helping her in escape but before she took steps to Aspan Falcone came between and held her in his arms. She was flabbergasted but maintained her stoic face. He gestured to the guard and nurse to move. They both moved. Nandini pushed Falcone hard.

“This air gives you a lot of strength baby!” Falcone tried to touch her cheeks when nandini slapped his hands

“Don’t baby me! Please release me!” Nandini pleaded

“Surely I will make you release!” Falcone said in his husky voice which sent chills in her spine.

Is this Man possessed with some other soul? How his voice has changed.

“Rapunzel come I am finding some best schools for kids” Aspan tried to tease Falcone.

“Who told you to do that?” Falcone calmly but gritted.

“Rap…”

“I am going from here and no need to enroll my kids with your dirty business.” Nandini narrowed her eyes which Falcone royally ignored.

Aspan raised his hands in surrender when Falone said “you are going to live here by or without your wish.”

“Who are you to order me?”

“I am your legally wedded husband Sweetheart!”

“Bullshit!” Nandini yelled

“Mind your tongue Tesoro!” Warned Falcone

“What if I don't!” Nandini challenged

“I will punish you “ He whispered in her ears which widened her eyes and filled with tears. Aspan was taken aback, the same went with Falcone.

“I knew that you were just keeping me here to punish me and take out your frustration that I defied your orders.” Falcone’s eyes popped out listening to her words. SHe was taking all wrong

“No..No No..baby It is not like that. I meant to say I will punish you by love and pleasure.” Falcone uttered with the teasing look.

“Aspan I am not safe with this man please take me to some calm place.” Nandini was ashamed.

“Don’t you dare to even come 10 steps around my Wife Aspan……the consequences will not be in your favor.” Falcone deadpanned. Aspan took her hand and pulled her to himself.

“I am not afraid of you Capo.” Aspan said.

“You will be.” He pulled Nandini to himself and took out his gun. He was about to shoot Aspan’s that hand which pulled her , Nandini held Falcone’s hand and pleaded

“P..P..Please d..d.n’t do this.”

“Don’t request Tesoro, Just order…” he kept his gun back

“he is your brother if you forgot ” Nandini again said

“and you are my wife. He needs to understand that he should never interfere in our matters.”

“You are her doctor and be in limit, else my gun will not take a single second to make its way to your head.”

Aspan rolled his eyes and Nandini was amazed that Aspan didn’t blinked or scared even Falcone’s warning.

“It will not work. She is my friend before your wife.”

“But now she is? So stay within the limit!”

“She doesn’t give you any chance, is that really that tough to hear?”

“It's our problem, don't you try to interfere.”

“I am here and you won’t even touch me…” Aspan said confidently as he knew Nandini would never let anything happen to him

“Stop provoking.”

“Rapunzel come, we need some space with this self centered egoistic man.”

“Don’t you dare to pull her in our matter.” Falcone warned but Aspan was daringly speaking

“I already dared”

“I am going to the kids, don't try to follow me” Nandini went from there.

“Did you notice anything on her face?” Falcone asked but Aspan scoffed

“No “ Falcone went behind her.

Nandini came to the kids room where they had lunch and slept. She had a problem while walking an dFalcone was just behind her to take care of her. He was very happy doing something for Nandini but she didn’t like anything in him.Nandini kissed Edwin, Dammy and Faith’s foreheads. She ruffled Edwin’s hair and mumbled

“We will soon leave from here My love” Nannies were sitting there like soldiers when a head popped up then body and ran to Nandini. Nandini was weak and unable to pick Damien. She was looking at him as he was clutching her legs and asking to pick him up. One nanny stood up to pick Dammy but suddenly Falcone picked up Damein and gestured to Nandini to come out to not disturb the kids' sleep.

Nandini came out slowly when Falcoen snaked his arms in her waist and held it tightly. Nandini shivered and looked at Falcone when Damien snaked his arms while being in Falcone’s arms. Falcone leaned Dammy to Nandini who was looking at Falcone’s.

Falcone took her to the drawing room and made her sit on the sofa. He then put Dammy on sofa too

“Dammy now you can enjoy with your mother. I am going to make juice for your mother. Tell me what do you want, Bird?” Nandini was surprised to hear such tone of Falcone. It was nowhere to deep, cold and blood chilling tone he used. Damien was in his words and kissed Nandini.

Falcone was jealous but let it go. Damien noticed the things and ran to Aspan’s room where he was allowed to do anything.

Falcone knew what she was thinking, he pecked her lips which jerked her and she muttered

“Pervert”

“Only for you Tesoro.”

“Don’t ever touch me with these hands which manhandled me, Don’t kiss which kissed I know how many, Don’t eye me which looked at me lustfully. Whole and whole you do not deserve me , so let me go.”

“I will not , I will not touch, kiss or see you….but after getting one chance from you. Baby, I don’t want to use hard ways which I have already done. I want us , our kids together.”

“And I won’t give space to these kinds of shit thoughts. You are not in my mind for a single second only in my nightmares. You are doing all this for a chance or you are seeing my kids as your heirs for that unholy business then let me tell you mr. Capo I am weak but not lost till I have the last breath in my body.”

“I am really in need of you baby. I know you can’t trust me but from last two weeks I am begging you for a chance”

“Did you hear my pleadings and request to leave me and my kids?” Falcone was silent.

“Sweetheart please forgive me I will do anything” he cupped her face. One second Nandini felt he was true but when she remembered his actions she pulled out from his hold.

“Okay you want my forgiveness ? I forgive you Mr. Falcone D’Alberto now let me leave. I forgive you and free you from all the accusations. Now let me go.” She said silently without any emotions. She was not aggressive but calm. That stinged more.

“I..I can change. You can forgive me when you feel there is no pressure. Take time, weeks, months, years ..” Falcone was desperate; he held her hand and made her sit. He sat on her knees while clutching her knees.
