He tried to cup her cheek but she flinched away from him and hided her face with her both hands which made him froze at his place. Did she again thought he is going to hit her?He took his hand back and looked at her coldly making her peek from between her fingers and when she saw his hand back to its respective place she raised her chin at him. "I told you I will never hurt you, Bella." he said to her coldly making her scoff at him loudly."And all you do is l-lying and manipulating me b-because as far as I know you always hurts m-me." she said sniffing and wiping the remaining tears from her face.

Isabella was jumping happily giggling and being excited to have her favourite chocolate ice-cream. Ace, Tyler and Iris were walking behind her chuckling at the excited little girl just for some mere ice-cream. It was nothing look like that she was crying and hurt something half an hour ago. "Come fast, please." Isabella said to the three of them while turning around but suddenly she bumped into someone's hurt chest because she knew in the middle of the ice parlour there can't be a wall. "Oops!" she exclaimed and backed off the from that hard and burly chest and raised her head at the latest person. She became startled seeing a muscular and burly man standing tall infront of her. Tattoos were almost all over his body. He was wearing a grey coat with matching pants while tattoos were peeking out through his cuffs and collar covering him till his neck and hands.

Isabella was playing with Jingle bell in her room, she always avoids her to take out of her room because she didn't wanted Nicholas to get angry on her and threw her out of the mansion. She only takes her out in the garden when he is gone for some days due to his work or business. She is waiting for him since yesterday to give the ice-cream she bought for him, but still he didn't returned back to mansion yet. Many times she wanted to stop waiting for him and have that ice-cream alone but then the other part of her tells her that she should wait for him. After yesterday's accusations which he leveled on her she should be mad at him or hate him because she wasn't at fault from any angle but still her naive heart was not ready to be upset with him. Suddenly her chain of thoughts broke when a ball came towards her. She raised her head and saw Jingle bell jumping and asking her to play with her.

And when that little girl Isabella higher him he stopped immediately like she put some spell on him.He was standing motionlessly hearing to her murmur and pleading to stop and it is scaring her. When he heard that it was scaring her, he felt anger on himself that he scared her. But why do he even care? He don't even know himself but he didn't wanted to scare her more. He was breathing heavily and his ches
Tears welled up in Isabella's eyes when Ace scold her like that. "I don't care because even a man boss also needs hug sometimes." she exclaimed making Ace stunned. Only if she knew what she is calling for her self. Before Ace could again said anything She ran away from their straight to upstairs and Ace knew she is going to meet Nicholas and now he can't stop her because right now she is upset with him.

Her head snapped towards him and shock, she was looking at him like she had seen some ghost infront of her. 'Is he bipolar?' she thought in her mind while looking at him. "Do you know I can read your mind also?" he asked her raising his brow at her making her eyes widened at him. "No! You are lying." she said to him with her shocked expression. "You just thought in your mind that Is he bipolar?" he told to her mockingly making her face palm herself.'Isabella you are so dead now.' she thought in her mind. "I can hear that also." he said teasing her. When did he even started reading minds? He was laughing internally at his own thoughts.Nicholas was stood there blankly thinking what to say to her now because he had stopped her from leaving his room. He had never thought about something this much before. Isabella was gazing at him curiously to order her, because that's what he always do. She was looking at his thinking figure standing infront of her. What is even thinking this muc
All the memories started flashing in Nicholas's mind. The past he didn't recalled from a long time but today this little girl made him recall that pain and suffering return back to his mind. "I was an orphan, a little toddler when I was sent to an orphanage who knows how and from which place. I was not living in an orphanage, I was living in a hell there." he said blankly making her eyes to soften and she held his bandaged hands in hers. "I was being starved and abused at that place, just because of some older kids liked to bully me. I was only five when they were bullying me and do you know why they bullied me?" he asked her with a sad smile on his face. Isabella shook her head slowly in denial. "Why they did that to you?" she asked him slowly. "Because that time I keep stuttering like a broken tap recorder, like you do infront of me. I could not speak even a single word without stuttering. They keep laughing and mocking me for my disability that time and I kept taking it just a
Little Nicholas was oblivious of the car coming with a speed towards him. Before he could understood anything the headlights of the car flashed on his face making him snap his head towards the car. Nicholas panicked seeing the car almost ready to hit him before he could run the car driver pushed breaks of the car making it halt near Nicholas. He fell on the concrete road in fear with his tiny hands covering his eyes. After few minutes, when he didn't felt anything he slowly peeked through his small fingers and saw black shiny shoes infront of him. He removed his hands from his eyes and raised his head curious to see the owner of the black shiny shoes, shining like stars on that dark coloured concrete road. Little Nicholas raised his head and his eyes met with a pair of brown eyes gazing at him coldly. There stood a man at least 6 feet tall making Nicholas cower away from him in the fear. The man squatted down on the floor infront of Nicholas making him bewildered. "Che stai facendo
