Isabella felt her throat dry and she took some air gulps in try to make her throat moistened. When it didn't helped she started shuffling and moving on her bed. After few minutes twisting and turning she slowly opened her eyes feeling them heavy but finally she opened them and woke up. Her gaze met with the ceiling of her room, she sat up on the bed.Isabella roamed her gaze here and there and saw she was in her room. She didn't remembered anything. She saw it was evening time but why was she sleeping in evening and when did she even slept? She puttes some pressure on her head and suddenly something clicked in her mind. She remembered that Nicholas locked her in that dark scary room. Even thinking of it she shuddered at her place. 'I'm not gonna talk to that man now.' she thought in her mind. A angry pout was displayed on her face. Suddenly her tummy growled loudly making her aware of that it is empty. Isabella immediately placed her on her tummy caressing it and craned her head gla
Isabella tried to run away in embarrassment and lift her feet to took the step but he caught her arm before she can run away from him. She immediately stopped scared of him thinking now he will again punish her. She started trembling slightly in fear and he can easily feel that because of her tensed posture. "Come." he demanded to her in a authorative voice not leaving any room for argument. Isabella's soul left her body hearing him demanding to come with him. She thought now she will surely got locked in that room again. "N-No please I don't want to go t-there again I'm sorry." she whimpered. Nicholas peered at her and yanked her a little causing her to stumble towards him. She stopped just few inche away from him. "Marie." he yelled making her flinch. A maid came running from the hallway and bowed her head infront of him. "Clean the floor." he ordered her again making her bow her head in front of him. Isabella felt bad for the maid because she dropped the ice-cream on the floor bu
The smell of cheese hitted her nostrils announcing that her sandwich is ready. When she raised her head towards him she saw him extending a plate of sandwich and juice to her. He placed them infront of her.She was gawking at him in shock. She didn't thought he can make this much delicious food. The smell of the sandwich was inviting her again and again to taste it immediately but she was waiting for him to serve his plate also. When he came and sat on the stool beside her a frown formed on her face immediately. "Where is yours?" she asked him but he shook his head in no indicating that he don't want to eat. She moved her gaze to her plate and picked up a sandwich taking a bite. The cheese immediately melted in her mouth making her tummy danced in happiness. "Ummm so yummy." she moaned in delight. His jaw clutched at her moaning like that. But he maintained his sature and keep observing her. He was staring at her without wavering his gaze a bit. Isabella felt his gaze on the side o
There was almost dark inside the door. When Isabella entered inside the door she saw there was no floor infront of her after she took a step forward because her feet landed on a lower floor making her understood that there is a staircase down to the basement. Watching completely dark in front of her, Isabella became a little hesitate in taking further steps. But then she remember her Violee, God knows in which condition she is down there. Collecting the courage Isabella decided to do it for her Violee she started descending the stairs with the support of the wall after checking the stairs by tapping her foot on the each stair. When she completely reached downstairs she saw a room with concrete floor and blood stained walls. Isabella immediately removed her hands from the wall wiping them on her dress. When she moved further she saw a figure sitting on a chair in the dark corner of the room.The room was dark but her vision adjusted little in the dark making the things slightly clea
3 days later... Nicholas was walking towards the same dark hallway where Isabella was locked from past three days without any food and water. He didn't let anyone to even to go towards that dark hallway side. On the other hand Iris was also locked in the basement tied to the chair. He send Tyler to bring Iris back now and he was going towards that room to take Isabella our of there. He thought it will be a best punishment for her in exchange of breaking his rule because he knew how much she gets afraid of dark. He leaves no one who tries to defy him but comparing to his past punishments to the culprits according to him, this punishment to Isabella was nothing just a small shock. But the most shocking thing was he was restless for these three days and most of the thinking about her. That little girl Isabella. He was thinking that what was doing there? What if she got unconscious there? And many more possible things that can be happen to her. He was angry also at her for breaking his
Nicholas stood there comphrehensing what did she just sat at him. Something inside him ignited after hearing her words for him. He saw a flick of hatred in her eyes for him. He slowly raised his hand and touched his lips where that little enchantress just bitted him. He saw blood oozing out of it. He took the blood on his finger and put it in his mouth. Tasting the metallic taste of his own blood he evilly smirked while staring at the void. Now this was becoming interesting for him. He was feeling like a lion who running behind its prey and now this lion will surely hunt down its prey and shredding it into pieces and satisfy his hunger. Nicholas also walked out of that walking out of the dark hallway. When he got out he saw that little enchantress hugging Iris and crying her heart out while putting her face in her neck. He went near them and stood beside her peering at her. Iris moved her worried gaze to him while her hands were caressing her back amiably. "Shhh Issy it's fine. Se
In a beautiful white dress Isabella was sitting infront of the mirror with her arms crossed on her chest. An angry pout was displaying on her face and she was glaring her own reflection in the mirror. Violet chuckled from behind her watching the little girl for a long time. She was noticing how she was glaring at her own reflection from quite a long time while she was making her hair. Isabella took shower after that incident and scrub herself more than needed because of that scary man's offending words towards her. Because of excessive scrubbing her skin turned red and some scratches also appeared on her arms and legs. She was angry at herself for listening that stupid man's talk and hurted herself. "Enough Issa, it's fine if you glare so much in the mirror it will get scared of you." Violet sniggered from behind her trying to control her laugh. Isabella moved her gaze from her reflection to Violet's reflection and met with her gaze in the mirror and give her a tiny glare making Vi
Isabella was walking towards his office with a tray in her hands. The tray held a cup of black coffee for Nicholas as per he ordered her. Isabella asked the maids fir the was to his coffee and was heading to that way by climbing the stairs. She was walking in her own thoughts thinking how to teach him a lesson. She climbed the stairs and reached on the second floor. Walking past his room she straightly went towards his office. As she was walking she suddenly got curious how the black coffee tastes because she never tried one and the maid told her he strictly always wants his black coffee. 'What's so special in it?' she thought. Isabella stopped in the middle of the hallway and she shifted the vase from the table beside her and placed the tray on it. She picked the cup of black coffee and thought 'Just one sip he will never know.' She took the cup near to her lips and after blowing for few times she took a sip. She immediately regretted and almost spit it out. She put the cup back in
It was midnight now and everyone was back to home. Elisia was also sleeping now sprawled at Isabella's bed with Jingle bell and her kittens. Isabella was also going to enter inside her room but felt a gentle tug at her arm. As soon as she turned around she was pinned against the wall with her hands above her head. Her hazel blue gaze came into contact with his hooded amber eyes. She gulped looking into his eyes because the emotions in his eyes were raw and dark. She gazed into his eyes back and forth. Nicholas saw she had the same look in her eyes but was hesitant. His gaze moved up her lips and then back to her eyes but he didn't do anything. Somehow Isabella wanted him to kiss her senselessly but she internally groaned when he moved his gaze to her lips but didn't kiss her. She waited for him to initiate anything but he didn't while the desire was coursing through her veins. She didn't know how to feel after getting those thoughts and Nicholas' heated gaze was not helping her e
It's been two months since Isabella has returned back to the mansion after getting discharged. In these two months she recovered fully and was now perfectly fine living with her man and daughter. They both named their baby girl Elisia Bella Pierce. It was Nicholas' idea to give her Isabella's middle name because last name was his. They were a happy family now with a baby girl, Jingle bell and her small kittens. Everything was going smoothly. Nicholas and Isabella had come more closer in these two months and Isabella got closer to the baby girl too. First few days she was a little shy around Isabella but with time she got used to her too. They have a big family now, Enzo and Carlo also didn't leave anything in making Isabella feel like home. Jingle bell's kittens keep running everywhere in the mansion. Nicholas never in his dreams thought that one day he will have his own family and above that a big one. He likes it when everyone sits together and gossips, he likes it when everyone t
Few days later, the whole mansion was in chaos and everyone was busy decorating the mansion. Nicholas get the baby girl ready and he himself got ready. The happiness was clearly showing at his face while the little baby girl was confused not knowing what occasion was that day, that everyone was decorating the mansion. While Jingle bell was playing with her small kittens in a corner. The little baby girl didn't know what to do so she started to play with Enzo and Carlo. Ace, Tyler, Violet and Iris couldn't stop themselves from being excited. Neel and Camilla were also there babysitting the three naughty babies so that they won't do anything funny. Nicholas was gone to the hospital to bring Isabella with him.After sometime Ace got a call from Nicholas telling them they have reached already. He immediately informed everyone and they hide immediate switching off the lights of the mansion turning it completely dark. Nicholas walked with Isabella beside him and she got scared seeing the w
Few days later, Nicholas was in the cemetery cleaning the graves of the buried people there. Since he has loose Isabella he has started to visit church daily and time to time clean the dust off the graves. He was trying his best to redeem himself in all the ways possible and just praying the same thing to the God to return his Isabella back to him. As he was working in the gloomy weather suddenly his phone rang stopping him from the work he was doing. He dusted the dust off from his hands and fished out the phone from his pants pockets and suddenly his heart started pounding against his chest after seeing that the call was from the hospital. He hoped that it wasn't something bad and received the call taking the phone to his ear. "Hello? Mr Pierce?" a feminine voice immediately came from the other side of the call and he could sense the ting if hurry in her voice. "Yes." he said short and curtly because his brain stopped working while thinking all the possibilities about the call co
It's been two years since that incident and these past two years everything has completely changed. Ace and Violet got married and are blessed with a year old baby boy named Enzo while Tyler and Iris also got married right after them and blessed with a year baby too named Carlo. Both of the baby boys just have one month difference between them. When Iris and Violet got to know about being pregnant together they both were so much happy and enjoyed their pregnancy time together and troubled Ace and Tyler a lot. Violet was considerate enough so she didn't do much to Ace but Iris being Iris intentionally troubled Tyler. Sometimes she even sent him at midnight to fetch something for her from the supermarket. But it was all worth it for him when he got blessed with a baby body Carlo who is just like his mother, mischievous. Sometimes Tyler feels likes they both will push him towards his death soon because of the amount of trouble they cause of him while Ace was happy with his small family
Nicholas made his baby girl's hair beautifully and made her sit on the window of Isabella's room. She snickered looking at his father because somehow he was looking so much funny to her.Of course why wouldn't he when she herself did his makeup. Many times when Nicholas have some urgent work to do he leaves her with either Iris or Violet. She always observed them keenly and when Nicholas was sleeping with her she woke up and crawled out of his hold. Few hours ago Iris was with her in the same room doing makeup and she left it in hurry because she has a date with Tyler. The little naughty yet innocent soul reached the side table and fetched Iris's make up products. Nicholas was too much tired so he was in his deep slumber. She decided to show her artistic skills on him. So she applied some lipstick at his lips and some on herself too. She applied some straight lines of eye liner at his eyes and then on hers too. She saw Jingle bell looking all of this so she tried to grab her too bu
Jingle bell was meowing loudly because the little baby girl of Nicholas has trapped her under her blanket because she wanted to play with her. Jingle bell wanted to be free because she was getting suffocated; the baby girl was almost sitting above her. Nicholas was in the kitchen making some baby food for her. She was getting naughtier day by day. Nicholas noticed that Jingle bell was meowing in high pitch than usual. He hurried his pace and immediately take her food out in a plate and then filled a bowl with cat food. Now most of his days gets spend either in kitchen or changing the baby girl's diapers. He didn't hire any nanny for her because he didn't believe anyone for her. He will not even know when the threat start looming at her head so he decided to keep it safe by taking care of the baby girl by himself. He immediately picked up the tray and started walking towards Isabella's room. When he entered inside he saw Isabella no where which made a little confused.But then he saw
It was a gloomy day today and Nicholas was also not feeling much good more like he was anxious and restless because today was the checkup day of his baby girl and he had to take her to the hospital. He knew the doctors will give her an injection and that's what he is more feared of. He had used many dangerous and sharp weapons on his victims but he couldn't see a small injection needle piercing his baby girl.He remembered last time she had an injection and cried a lot that he also felt the tears burning at the back of his eyes and after that she caught fever and the whole night he didn't sleep just to take care of her. He hated this day but he had to do it for his baby girl's well being. He took a bath and immediately got ready. He came downstairs and saw Violet and Iris were cooing at her making her giggle. He smiled looking at his happy baby girl and took her from Violet's arms. As soon as the little baby girl came into her father's familiar arms she smiled widely at Nicholas whic
It's been three months since that incident. Three months of that painful days where Nicholas was begging for the lives of his family but he failed to save one of them. Now his baby girl was of three months and Jingle bell was completely fine too. In these three months many things have changed. Nicholas has started to cut his roots with the underworld and gave up on the throne. He was a family man and he just do was to take care of his little baby girl who is so precious to him, more than his own life. At day he works as a CEO and at the remaining day he is simply the father of a little baby girl that's his only life now. Ace and Violet's wedding day was approaching soon and Nicholas was happy for them and talking about Tyler and Iris, the both of them will never their fighting and bickering so they were no where close to even think about marriage for now. Neel and Camilla were also doing good and they keep visiting to play with the baby girl time to time. Nicholas still hasn't name
