Alexander's Point Of View :
"Love makes a person do things they never even imagined they would be doing. "
Leaving all the important work of my 250 billion net worth company in Australia, here I am sitting comfortably in the backseat of my black Rolls Royce while staring out of the tinted glass at the heavily pouring rain of Loss Angelo's remembering how just one phone call made me fly from Australia to California overnight. Only for her.
Flashback 24 hours ago...
As usual, I was in my gym doing my work out on a regular basis lost in my own thoughts. It relieves my stress & helps me distract from my stress.
Being a fitness freak, I never miss workout, no matter what & one of the reasons is her.
To be honest, I started doing workout only when I realised that she loves strong, well built, muscular men. So what next??? I was in the gym the very next day. I started doing heavy workout & made this 8 packs so I can at least catch her eyes if not her heart.
Girls die on mine this chiselled jaw, straight nose, brown eyes, pink full lips with flawless skin making me a handsome hunk, this godly well built muscular body. All I need to do is flex my arm a little or just remove my shades for girls to fall at my feet but that stupid girl never gave a damn about it. My long legs & tall frame makes girls swoon over me. I am the most eligible bachelor but what's the use of all of this when all of this never got able to even catch her eyes once but then again that's what makes her different from all the other girls in the world. She is special. My Anne. The love of my life who ain't willing to be a part of my life.
Signing at the thought, I put the heavy dumbbells down after doing some weight lifting & with this sweaty body which was making my black tank T-Shirt soaked in my own sweat, stick to my body like a second skin, I moved towards the treadmill. It was 8 in the morning in Australia & I have been working out for the last 2 hours to calm my nerves but even that doesn't seem to help. I couldn't sleep or do anything, all I could do was think, think & just think. Think how to find her. How to get her back. Yeah, she left me & what's the most funny thing is, she left me on the biggest day of my life, on our engagement night. That evening she ran away from home leaving me alone on the altar waiting for her.
This made me chuckle bitterly remembering that old bitter memory. Even though she did that to me, I don't hate her, In fact I still love her. She is my first & last love. How could I hate her? I just want her no matter what she does.
I was lost in my own world, when my chain of thoughts were suddenly broken by the ringing of my phone. I looked at the flashing screen of my phone which was placed in front of the treadmill, only to find my secretary & man in command Lucca's name flashing on it.
Without stopping the treadmill, I swiped the green icon on screen to receive the call & put it on speaker only to hear the troubled voice of Lucca.
"Boss, I just got a call from Anderson Villa"
I quickly paused the treadmill hearing his words & signed tiredly, knowing it's not going to be good news. Dropping my head on the head screen of the treadmill gloomily, I hardened my heart & got myself ready for whatever news was going to come as I asked him.
"What's the matter?"
I asked him coldly as I got off the treadmill, grabbing a napkin, which was placed on a nearby table with my stuff & wiping my sweat. As usual Lucca was quick to respond without wasting my time.
"Mr. Andrew Anderson's condition has worsened."
He informed me.
Mr. Andrew Anderson, my uncle is the man I admire & respect the most in the whole world, my inspiration, my mentor, my protector, my God father. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's all because of him that a timid Adhi developed into today's billionaire Alexander Wilson.
He is my mom's elder brother & my dad's best friend. He is the one who got my mom & dad married after they fell in love. He had played cupid between them both as one was his younger sister & other his best buddy. My dad trusted him the most, he was his secret keeper.
Both the families were really close. We used to visit each other frequently on occasions. My uncle had gone out of the country for some business when My mom & dad died in an accident.
I was 12 that time. That day I was with them only but somehow I survived.
After the demise of my parents, I was left alone in this world with my 5 year old younger brother Aadam to fight with the greedy distant family relatives of my dad who wanted nothing but to snatch the huge fortune from us which my mom dad left behind for
Me & my brother. The same fortune which became the reason why our life fell in danger. Every single one of our relatives were greedy & wanted to snatch our property from us & for that they were even ready to kill the two of us innocent kids. It was a war of money. In the war of fortune, power & fame, our life came to threat when our house was set on fire as they tried to kill us by burning us alive. But fortunately my uncle who had returned back & got the news, came on time & saved us from turning into ashes.
If not for my uncle we both would have become the target of our enemies in disguise of relatives who plotted & planned many dirty things behind our backs over the years, setting a new trap every day just to snatch what belongs to us even if that costs our life & means using cruel inhuman ways.
For people like them, everything was fair in the ear of money.
So to protect us from all the hidden snakes like enemies around us, he took us in... After my parents died my uncle took both me & my brother under his wing. He brought us back to his home so he could protect us from all the attacks. Anderson's Villa.
That's the place where my whole childhood was spent & the place where I first met a 2 years old Anne. My uncle's only daughter & my childhood sweetheart. My first love.
I still remember that day, it's still fresh in my memories just like yesterday.
Anne was a very small, delicate & tiny bundle of joy. An angel who is an exact replica of her mother. Her mom, my uncle's life, who was a really sweet lady, had died after giving birth to her. So as a result she was pampered to no end. Being the youngest one in the house she was the apple of everyone's eyes. Protected by her protective three elder brothers which were 11 years older than her & like her Sheil protecting her from everything & everyone, whichever & whoever came to her.
After my Aunt's demise she became the reason of my uncle's life, his life lies within her as she is the last sign of her mother.
She was only 2 when I first saw her & took in my arms. That was the very moment I got this protective feeling building in my heart, to protect her & I knew that I needed power. If I want to protect her, my brother & my loved ones then first I need to become stronger so I started training under my uncle.
As I was a minor & under age, My uncle who became my & my brother's guardian, took the Wilson empire under his control & started managing it, protecting it from all predatory eyes of hungry wolves while training me to become a successful businessman.
Without any greed for money or eyeing the property in his hands which he could easily possess, he remained honest & kind. In the end, handed me the whole empire which he protected & ran successfully for 6 years after I became an adult as I turned 18. After that, he helped me in business & protected me from all backstabbing two faced peoples around me with ulterior motives until I became capable enough to protect myself & my empire. In these 6 years he not only protected Wilson's empire but grew it to another height, the business expanded more than in the period of my dad's rule but never asked for a share nor expected anything. He had never eyed our future nor planned to possess it but only protected it for us until we became capable enough to protect it & ourselves by ourselves.
He is a true man with words. He had told me he would make me capable enough to handle our empire & he did.
He always treated us kindly & like his own kids. He loved us as his own. He was like my father to me. He filled that emptiness in my heart. He filled my mom dad's place in my life. He tried his best to give us best. He became a light of hope for us when we were surrounded with darkness.
Even after being successful & taking the rope of Wilson empire in my hands & shouldering all the responsibilities, I didn't leave Anderson Villa because, for me, he is my father. We never planned to leave until that incident a year back. That evening me & Aadamleft Anderson Villa & went back to live in our own mansion left by my mom & dad. It's not because I was angry with him, I just didn't want to put him in a difficult spot & make things awkward for everyone. Even after whatever happened, I still loved & respected him because I knew it's not his fault. I still cared for him truly,
so after hearing this news it really saddened me.
Throwing away the napkin in my hands rather aggressively, I grabbed my protein shake next & taking a sip of it to relieve my thirst as my throat felt dry & itchy as if someone was strangling it making it hard for me to talk, I muttered to myself angrily.
"What did you do Anne"
Disappointed I whispered, breathing heavily knowing very well that, in whatever condition today uncle is, is because of her disappearance only. More than illness it's her worry that's making him weak. He loves her alot & from the moment she left he fell sick. He doesn't say but since she left it's like his life left. I know that. From that day everything is like this only. Everyone in that house has lost their smile. No one in that house laughs anymore. Her brothers who are searching for her madly are worried sick, theirs not a day her sister in law's didn't mention her or uncle hasn't cried while holding her picture.
Thinking all this, I huffed tiredly & composed myself, as I ordered Lucca in a cold voice not letting my emotions flow freely.
"Get the car ready, we are heading to Anderson's Villa"
With it I swipe the red end icon, hanging up on him without waiting for his reply knowing he got the massage & threw the shaker
bottle backwards before storming off towards my bedroom to get ready.
