Within half an hour, all the pictures of the staff working at the Perth Institute of Business Management were on my table. My blood boils but my heart slackens looking at the picture. After an age of solitude, I found her. I know every ounce of her even from an iota. Every instance of her is familiar to me. I had the benefit of the doubt catching at the first glimpse of neatly crafted letters and it was confirmed when I heard her on the phone.

I do a small victory dance in my mind. I wanted to prove to myself once again that I absolutely knew her to perfection. I am an arrogant, commanding, and dominant business magnate but for her, I am modest and submissive husband. She grew up in front of my guarding eyes. I shielded her from every evil of the world. She is my weakness as well as strength and she took maximum advantage of it.

It's time to pay back sweetheart. You ruffled this devil's feathers and now you are going to pay back for it. From today forward every step I take towards you will be circumspect. A smirk surrounds my features, be ready to face the challenge of this beast, dear beauty.

Chapter 31

Ulrick Pov

Since the time I came to know about Ana, I became restless. I told my secretary to cancel all my meetings for the next two days. I very well know she would have already cracked a plan to escape me on the charity show but I am no fool to fall for her tricks for one more time. I would see her tomorrow not saying boo.

My love for Ana is everlasting but from today forward she will learn to cherish it differently.

That night I wasn't able to leap an eye. The beautiful memories of Ana and the prolepsis of seeing her after almost fourteen months were making my hands go clammy. I rolled inside the blankets the whole night and got up early in the morning at 4:30 to catch an early morning flight to Perth. I took a bath and dressed in my best clothes to impress her. She will be surprised to see me. As I think of the beatific moment my heart leaps in joy.

Like a ten-year-old boy who was going to receive his first birthday gift, I reached the airport with excitement. But to my predicament, I had the worst luck in the world. There were some technical problems with the flight and it couldn't take off till the evening. Settling myself in another jet, I had a hard time dealing with the pathetic staff that had no work sense. By the time I reached Perth, it was well beyond seven in the evening and there was a heavy downpour. Fuck! All this had to happen today itself.

I google the address and my car stops in front of a cream-coloured building. Not bad, she is well settled. I heave a sigh of relief looking at the edifice. But who is the person working in the army? Suddenly there was a bad feeling lugging in my heart. I brushed my imperiling thoughts away and knocked at the door. The smile on my face just doesn't seem to cease.

Within a few seconds, the door pops open and there she is! Holy Jesus! She is fucking so beautiful. My eyes move upwards silently thanking the creator for making her so enticing just for me. Assessing her seraphic features my vision first fell on her eyes. They appear different. What the fuck! My gaze went upwards. Shit! Even the color of her hair looked dissimilar. My hands charge to fists. Now I understand why my people weren't able to trace her. She looks different.

Good job my dear wife but you cannot succeed in blinding your husband's eyes. I am well acquainted with every inch of you. I move my hand to her hair brushing it out of her face. Something which I missed doing. "Mine" I mumble in contentment. Then my look scrolls down to her plump lips. Thank God! They are the same, so pink and soft. Sweet Heavens! I go hard just looking at them.

My gaze then fell into the home she was situated and something caught my eye which caused an instant feeling of affliction. Her brother came out of the room and I quelled myself. But the next moment I wanted to bite his head. Why the hell didn't he inform me that Ana was with him? Before I would outpour my anger he apprised me of the happenings. He should thank his lucky stars otherwise I would have broken his limbs by now for hiding my wife from me.

Soon Vance left and I had the privacy to spend special time with my wife. I look at her gravitating eyes. Shit! I am just not able to stop myself. I grabbed her face to my lips and kissed her forehead followed by her chubby cheeks. Then my eyes divert to her pink lips. I stare at them with lusciousness. Crap! What is happening to me? I am dripping wet just by looking at them. My rough hands held her soft cheeks and pulling her face towards my lips, I kissed her like a man quenching his thirst after years of drought. My tongue slipped inside and explored every corner of her mouth. She gave me the required entrance and followed my moments in gravity. I felt on top of the world with my wife in my arms.

As we were having a nice time with each other, I heard some baby sounds. I dismissed the voices until my wife ran inside the bedroom and I followed behind her. The thing I saw then was as pleased as punch. Is this real? I pinched myself to not get into high spirits. I scrutinized the baby under my counting eyes and could hear my heart thumping loudly.
