LUCAS'S POV

I have been knocking on my front door for god knows how many times now. but to no avail, as no one opened it. I sighed in exhaustion and opened the door myself.
I think Sanvi is upstairs and maybe Eli went to his Villa.

Hmm, that maybe the case, otherwise they both would have been fighting over who will open the door for me, only if they were home before me,and Eli going to his Villa is little suspicious. He loves to stay with us and fight with Sanvi. I chuckled tiredly. I have got quite a sample in the name of best friend and Wife. But I wouldn't trade them for the world. I shook my head with a silly smile.

Just as I entered the living room, a fork flew past me, it literally moved right next to my left eye, a slight miss, thank God!!

How the f**k did this fork flew in my direction?

I stared ahead, and the scene going on infront of me had my mouth fell open and my eyes threatened to bulge out from its sockets.

My dear wife was throwing all the cutlery items [Silverware] at Eli who was doing some summer salts to save himself from the attack all while giggling like a school girl.

What the f*****g hell is going on here? And why is Eli giggling?

"Get back here, you stupid Mouse!!" Sanvi yelled furiously, which had no effect on Eli as he kept laughing his heart out, he was also skillfully dodging the items Sanvi threw at him. He is doing it so effortlessly and gracefully that it almost looks like he has been practicing this for years.
My bestfriend has weird talents.

Wait, wait, What the f*****g f**k?
I rubbed my eyes again and again to confirm what I was actually seeing is real and also to know that I am not hallucinating or anything.

What on earth happened to Sanvi's face?

I was stifling my laughter, Oh God!!
If I laughed out loud now, then I will be added to Sanvi's attack list.

Eli, you dolt why would you do this?
Now I understood why this Tom and Jerry chasing is going on here.

Sanvi's face was looking horribly creepy and funny at the same time. Her eyes were adorned in a mixture of green and black eye shadow, she had a purple moustache, her eyebrows were somewhere between red and brown. Overall she looked extremely funny.

I was about to move towards them, but another spoon came right onto me, I ducked down to save myself. My goodness, my penthouse was a mess and it had miraculously converted into a battlefield.

"You evil mouse, stop right there and stop laughing you fool!! " Sanvi screamed on top of her lungs, and Eli shamelessly chuckled and childishly showed his tongue to her.

I shook my head in disapproval.

Is this the same cold hearted Lawyer the world portrays him to be?

I wonder how people will react if they see the scene I am seeing right now!!

After an hour of trying and being attacked by a variety of spoons and forks, I finally reached near Eli and smacked him on the back of his head and held him in his place. He flinched back and shrieked a little.

"Ouch!! Lucy, that hurt and God dammit, stop scaring me like that and leave me, I have to protect myself from your personal Annabella." Eli whined loudly and somehow got out of my clutches and stood behind me, clearly trying to save himself from Sanvi who was now standing infront of me .

I pursed my lips tightly and tried hard to stiffle the laughter bubbling inside of me.

Sanvi was fuming in anger. She was clenching and unclench-ing her fists. I could see steam coming out of her ears.

"Lucas move aside,I am going to kill your bestfriend." Sanvi ordered me in a spine-chilling voice. I hastily nodded my head and was about to go from there, but I couldn't as Eli was clutching on to me for his dear life. I passed Sanvi a small apologetic smile and gestured towards Eli, she scowled and placed her hands on her hips and glared dangerously at Eli.

"Why the freaking hell would you do this to me? I even brought you the Jacket, despite of you failing the bet." Sanvi demanded him while panting angrily. I somehow removed Eli's hands from my jacket and stood a little far away from these crack heads. Who knows what Sanvi will throw at Eli next? I don't want to receive the hit on behalf of my bestfriend.

I crossed my legs and leaned on the wall and saw the drama going on live infront of me. I am so lucky aren't I ?

I don't know about you, but I am very unlucky as I have got a human like you. My conscience commented sadly, while I scoffed in disbelief.

This has to be a joke. I am the Lucas Xavier Knight.

Some conscience I have got.
I scowled disapprovingly,

"You were sleeping so peacefully on the couch, I didn't have the heart to wake you up, I was about to leave from there, but then I remembered that it is a golden opportunity, so I grabbed on it!!" Eli nonchalantly muttered and shrieked loudly as Sanvi threw a butter knife at him.

"Women are you mad or what? You were going to kill me!! This is attempt to murder." Eli exclaimed incredibly, he was baffled by Sanvi's sudden attack.
Sanvi copied his previous actions and shrugged him off.

"I just thought that you were standing so peacefully, and I was about to leave you to it, but then I realised that it's my golden opportunity so I grabbed it, and why are you even shocked? Don't you call me Annabella? I have to keep up with my standards as Annabella shouldn't I? " Sanvi sarcastically remarked with a fake innocent smile. Eli huffed and crossed his arms, while I just rolled my eyes at this.

I never went to a circus, now if I actually think about that, I have my own circus, I have my personal Jokers in my own house,why do I need to spend my money on someone else? I scoffed internally.

I saw those both still glaring daggers at each other and I sighed dejectedly as nothing can be done about these two.

I left them there and made my way upstairs. I greeted King first, who was whining lowly, and I think I know why he was sulking. It's because his mom is actually being a small baby and fighting with Eli, and she apparently forgot to give her son the attention he needed..

I informed him that I am going to freshen up and he licked my cheek and I patted his head and went to my room.

It came out as a shock for me that King started liking... No scratch that, loving Sanvi so much and the affection wasn't one-sided, it was reciprocated by Sanvi too.

I am glad that they are good now, considering their first encounter,I never thought that they would get along so well.

Nonetheless I am happy about this.

SANVI'S POV

I stopped glaring at Mickey and made my way towards the guest bathroom and washed my face vigorously.

Once I was sure that there was no trace of makeup in my face, I stopped and wiped my face with a towel.

I came back and was about to shout at Mickey ,who was happily munching on my crisps without a care in the world, before I could even utter a single word my phone rang. I glared at him for one last time and picked up the call.

(Prachi(Sanvi's Friend) in italics and Sanvi in Bold)

Hi Sanu!! How are you?

Hello Ms Super Busy!! Aren't we supposed to be Bffs,then why didn't you call me? I called a week before but you didn't pick up, neither did you call back. I wanted to be sarcastic, however,I couldn't,I am missing my friends a lot. I didn't meet Eddie,Lukey,Mahi di,Ace bhai and Neil for almost 10 days. I meet Ana in the hospital during lunch breaks, that counts as meeting I guess. This hectic schedule is drowning up my energy.

Sanvi please don't be peachy about that now, you know that we are Bffs for life. And I know that I didn't pick your call up. As I was little distracted by something. A lot of not so creepy stuff is happening with me Sanu, it's almost like I have a stalker or something. I cannot tell you about that in detail, atleast not on the phone. Prachi exclaimed sounding extremely stressful. I felt my throat dry and I gulped anxiously. What? Someone is stalking Prachi. Did he return? No... No... This feeling is somewhat nauseous.

Prachi do you suspect that it's him? I questioned dreadfully. He was a leech, after facing so many difficulties we finally got rid of him, he wasn't supposed to come back. Oh God! I am not even there to help he-

No, it's not him, I am 100%sure that it's not him. I confirmed it. It's someone else. Don't stress about me Sanvi, I am fine. I doing good even with all that stalker thingy, and despite of all these bad news,I have a good news for you. I am coming to London!! Prachi happily declared, and I couldn't be more happier. I felt myself smiling widely.
Also thanking the God that it wasn't him.

That's great!! When are you going to come? I will come to pick you up!! Also you have to stay with me, that's final!! This is your third visit right? Oh wait!! I have to apply for a leave appl-

Calm down Sanu, I am not coming now nor this month, I may come after that, so no need to be hyper already. Anyways I have some thing's which need my utmost attention. So I will talk to you later. Love you and take care. Prachi cut of my excited babbling and informed about her plans. I pouted sadly, nonetheless,I said bye, take care and love you too, then she hung up the call.

After talking to Prachi, I felt sudden uneasiness, I just hope that she will be fine. I think I should talk to Ram bhai about this.

"Hey Annabella!! What happened? Everything's fine right? Any problems?" Mickey concerned-ly questioned me. I found myself nodding my head in affirmation. I wanted to share my worries with him, but this wasn't my problem to tell. So I chose to leave this topic.

"Nothing just some work related issues. You leave about that, Now, do tell me why did you take my crisps?" I questioned him irritatedly and crossed my hands. He grinned without an ounce of regret.

Wow!!
I cannot believe this shameless fellow.

"I was hungry and Lucas's crisps are all plain and classic, but yours are of different flavours,so I thought I will take some of yours." He sheepishly explained, while I passed him an unamused look.

"Where is yours then? Don't tell me you finished it off. " I asked him incredulously. He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a small teasing smile.

"Ok I won't tell you!!" Mickey smugly replied and I rolled my eyes at his answer.

"Don't be a smarty pants now!! But Mickey that was too much. You finished 10 packets of crisps in a week? It's not your breakfast or dinner for god's sake." I stated with a look of disbelief. He simply rolled his eyes and casted me a look of disapproval.

"You are the one to speak, you eat more Junk food than I eat, so this accusation of yours is baseless and pointless. It's pure ridicule." He fired back at me with a look of accusation. I raised my hands up in surrender. He nodded his head as if saying that's- better.

I internally rolled my eyes at this Dramatic lawyer.

You all want to know a fun fact?

Whenever we go on grocery shopping or if we just shop online, we always divide our Chocolates and all other Junk foods in three equal parts and we aren't supposed to take another's stuff, but from when did Mickey started following rules? I feel really bad for Lucas though,he always has to suffer and he always gets stucked inbetween our useless bickering.
I shook my head with a smile.

"I was so right!! You really are the Annabella,and why are you smilingly creepily now? " Mickey questioned me suspiciously, with a raised brow.
I was about to sarcastically reply back, but my phone rang and I answered it.

{Unknown in Bold and Sanvi in Italics}

Hi Belle!!

Who is this?

Oops!! Sorry I forgot that I called you from a different number.

Wait Mase is that you? You Stupid dolt!!
I couldn't believe my ears, Mason White is talking to me after an year.

Yeahhhhh!! It's me, your Mase. So how are you doing Belle?
He questioned me with a gentle tone, which I knew was a reserved tone, he used this tone only while talking with me, his mom and his sister.
Otherwise he would sound gruff and scary. His voice is the most intimidating voice I have ever known.

You missed out the part where I called you a stupid dolt!! And yes,I am doing great!
I answered blankly, but inwardly I was bursting out from excitement.

I missed this dolt like crazy.

I ignored those words which are just you indirectly saying that I-missed-you-like- crazy-Mase. And I missed you too Ugh!! , You idiot, can't you do it slowly!!

Mase are you hurt? What happened? Mase answer me! I swear to god Mase,if you do no-

Ok, I am here, no need to bring God into this, agh!! Slow down you f****r. I am a little hurt that's it. Don't stress your pretty self about that. I will answer all your questions, but I need a favor from you. Mase cut my panicked self and gently asked me and I hummed in response, however I was confused as hell!!

Why would Mase need my help?

Belle, can I please stay with you for a week or two? UGHHHH!! He requested me and grunted in pain.

Mase you can stay,I have to talk to my husband about this, however I will convince him, but Mase what exactly happened to you? And why here and not somewhere else? I curiously questioned him, his only response was a painful grunt.

Mase are you alright? Mase!!

I am fine!! Just some idiots are trying to take their revenge on me, well I am a little injured. That's it, don't worry, I will come in four hours from now. Bye Belle! after saying this he hung up the call, without waiting for my reply. Wow!! Something's never change .
I shook my head in amusement.

Then sighed heavily!!
Now I have to explain this to my husband.
Yay!! Lucky me....

I just hope that they won't freak out!!

"Annabella are you planning to cook something or are you planning on becoming a statue?" I heard Mickey yelling from the living room. I scoffed loudly and made my way towards the kitchen.

I was craving Italian today, so I made Chicken Parm, Pasta e fagioli, creamy ricotta spaghetti and for dessert we have Caramel cake, which I brought yesterday and we didn't eat at all.

Lucas helped me in setting the dinning table. While Eli cleaned the mess we made.

We all sat on our usual places and we started eating,... a minute later, one person screamed on top of his lungs. I smirked knowingly.

Mickey hastily drank the orange juice, and started screaming once again,

"Oh god!! This is so spicy!! What did you made this food from? Hellfire? Ughh!! What the f*****g f**k ? My orange juice is spicy too." Mickey shrieked with tears in his eyes, Lucas stared at him in confusion and concern.

I laughed evilly at his state.
Now Lucas and Mickey's attention was on me.

"You should have thought about the consequences before playing with me. I am the one who cooks your food, Always remember this. Now pass your plate to me." I warned him and exchanged his plate with mine, Mickey belongs to an Italian family, he cannot tolerate spicy foods, I love them though.

Mickey nodded his head hurriedly and Lucas looked bewildered, I smiled at them and started eating my food. Mickey was still examining the food as if it was some nuclear weapon. I rolled my eyes at him, and gestured him to eat, and he did and smiled widely.

Chicken parm is Mickey's favourite, Pasta e fagioli is Lucas's favourite and mine is creamy ricotta spaghetti and caramel cake is something we all love.

After our dinner we were now sitting in the living room,Lucas and Mickey were discussing about some work related matters, while I was trying to think of ways to explain them about Mase's arrival and his profession.

"Lucas, Mickey, I want to tell you about something!!" I started and both of them turned towards me and stared expectantly.
I took a deep breath and sighed.

Let's see how it goes!!

"There is a friend of mine, who wants a place to stay for a week or two,can he please stay here?" I pleaded and Lucas looked shocked and Mickey was curious, I could tell that he was already sensing something big was coming up..

Smart lawyer.

"I don't have any objections, but why can't he stay somewhere else?" Lucas curiously questioned me, I huffed irritatedly.

"Even I am as clueless as you are about this, I asked him the same question but he wasn't ready to answer me, he said that he will explain the situation once he meets me." I explained with a I-am-so-done tone. Lucas looked contemplated at my explanation, while Mickey was still curious, he knew there is more to come...

Gosh Mickey!!

"Okay, If he is your friend then I don't have any problem in helping him." Lucas finally agreed and I smiled hesitantly.

"There is something you should know about him though!!" I started reluctantly and Lucas raised his brow in question and Mickey smirked already knowing that something was up..

"MasonWhiteisaMafiaBoss!!" I hurriedly blurted out and received two amused stares.

I awkwardly chuckled feeling a little embarrassed.

"Annabella, we don't know anything about your ghostly language, so I didn't catch a single word." Mickey said jokingly, I scowled and turned towards Lucas, who was also smiling.
I mumbled traitor and repeated my words again slowly.

"Mase my friend, his name is Mason White and he is a Mafia Boss. He basically owns one of the strongest and dangerous Mafia. Oh!! He is an Italian mafia boss." I informed and smiled innocently , as if I just didn't disclose the information that my friend was a Mafia Boss.

Lucas was frozen in his place, while Mickey's jaw was wide open.
They were both baffled by my sudden revelation.

.

.

.

Ten thousand years later.....

"WHAT!! ITALIAN MAFIA ? YOUR FRIEND? HOW ? WHAT? OH GOD!!" Mickey was the first one to unfroze and atleast he reacted way better than I initially thought he would and Luke literally was on the verge of having a panic attack, when I first disclosed this information to him. My dear husband was still rooted in his place without blinking.

I sighed heavily this is going to be Chaotic.

UNKNOWN'S POV

"YOU HAD A SMALL TASK, THAT WAS SEDUCING LUCAS!! AND YOU COULDN'T DO THAT? THEN WHY DID I HIRE YOU FOR?" I yelled furiously.

This girl had one job and she couldn't do it, great!!

"M-- Mam, I did, I did try, but he -- he was extremely stubborn and f-- faithful, also his b***h of a wife warned me not too even call him by his name, and when she left, his PA and that b***h' s PA didn't leave him for a second. That b***h even had the audacity to humiliate me. " That so called model exclaimed while half shuttering. I sneered at her.

"Don't give me lame excuses, if he is so faithful then Drug him, Drug Lucas , do whatever it takes you to seduce him." I growled angrily and hung up the call.

I turned towards my most loyal worker.

"Find out about Lucas's wife. I want her full details in a day." I firmly stated and he nodded his head stiffly and exited out.

I light up the cigarette and sighed in satisfaction as I inhaled the smoke, all of my worries vanished,like they were not even there, except for that one thought.

Who the hell is Lucas's wife?
