“We’ve imposed on you a lot , so we’ll handle this little chore all by ourselves “
“Count me out ” Izzy made her stand clear the moment Emily made her intentions known.
“I’ll help out ” The ever-cheerful Annabelle announced waving her hands excitedly .
Though Emily is soft and kind but she’s quite sturrborn once she makes up her mind so I had no choice than to give in.
“Fine, its not like I can stop you both anyway “I stated knowing Emily and Annabelle in cahoots was like a goat and a pig in collaboration , both weren’t the strongest in the animal kingdom but were extremely tough to deal with.
While Annabelle leaped excitedly to go help Emily, I walked gloomily towards Izzy.
“What are you up-to this time? “
“As if I’ve ever told you my intentions “She retorted, not even passing me a glance as she glued her eyes to the screen of her phone watching a sci-fi movie.
I furrowed my brow scrutinizing this little girl in front of me, I’ve always had this disturbing feeling that this girl could read my intentions as absurd as it might sound
“Are you a sadist ?”I asked untentionally, I had meant to ask that mentally but I didn’t when it sl*pped right out from my mouth.
Izzy froze, then she stiffly paused the video and turned to face me with an apathetic gaze “Excuse me? “
For some unknown reasons, I felt chills all over to the extent I didn’t carelessly let out a breath
“Y-yo seem to take pleasure from my misery ” I stuttered
She let out a cold smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes and murmured ” Trust me if I was a sadist, then your misery hasn’t started “
Suddenly like a bipolar patient, she let out a vibrant smile that was capable of shaming even the sun. How could someone blow hot and cold at same time?
But then she assured me
“Don’t worry, as my future mother I’ll hold on to the picture as a reminisce of your romantic days with Mr Niles “
Even though that was supposed to be viewed as a compliment but instead I was scared to the bones. I couldn’t help but notice one thing about this little girl – She’s full of darkness.
He knew also of her darkness, he knew of the inexplicable extent of her abilities , he knew quite well she would be crueler than her father.
An unknown fear came upon me as I came to a startling realization.This was why Niles wanted me near her, he sees me as her saviour, as the sunshine that will light up the darkness inside of her .
I chuckled inwardly , Adam was quite a good mastermind. Even though the Sparks’s have a good public image but it wasn’t quite difficult to guess their affiliation with the underworld. There was no way one would be able to create such a huge conglomerate without soiling his hands in one illegal activity or the other.
To have survived so far, a lot of skeletons was obviously being kept in their wardrobe which is why, a person with a “lion heart” can only be the leader of the family and judging from the scene unfolding , the next successor after Niles’s reign was obviously Izzy.
Eventhough Niles has being kind to me so far but I knew beneath that facade is a cold being willing to clear every hindrance on his way to his achievements.
But I obviously could tell, if Niles was a born leader then Izzy obviously was a born dictator and that’s what Adam wants, a dictator not a leader.
So how in the world am I going to change this domineering darkness into light without ending up as the collateral damage?
“Breakfast is set, everyone to the dining ” Emily announced and I murmured a thank-you mentally to her.
She just saved me from going crazy from my absurd thoughts.
I didn’t know how I found myself on the dinning table nor how the meal went but I exp**ssed relief when Emily announced she was leaving with the kids.
“Papa wants to see them ” Emily said and I saw a blinding gleam in Izzy’s eyes causing me to frown .
Even though Mr Adams might poise as a man way past his prime but I know he wasn’t that simple, the man even though aged a bit still wields much power behind the scenes and the fact he has his eyes set on Izzy means there might be a power struggle in the future bet**en Izzy and her dad when she comes of age .
From the adoring glint in her eyes, I could tell Izzy loves and worsh*ps her grandpa so separating them would definitely be a bad idea at the moment
To prove that, Izzy didn’t wait for Emily to finish her statement, she had already walked out the door anticipatedly without even a thank-you to the host who housed her for the night or to her so thought future mother.
“Don’t mind her manners, Izzy loves papa so much. The both are inseparable ” Emily explained while I gave out a dry smile
“I can see why “
” So”
“So? ” I asked back not understanding the expectant look on her face
“I would love for you to join us the next day we’ll visit my papa, he talks about you quite a lot and I’m sure he will love to see you again “
A nervous smile made itself known on my face as I replied
“I’m sure he’ll would “

Niles’s Pov
I awoke to total darkness and instinctively rose from the bed only for my sight to be attracted on a figure sitting opposite from me, but I relaxed knowing she could never hurt me – she could not even hurt a fly. But her penetrative and accusing gaze seem to scald me as I unconsciously looked away.
“How long have I being out?” I asked r*bbing my eyes to remove the sleep which surprisingly was still in my eyes .
“Ten hours or so, I can’t tell but you were sleeping so peacefully I couldn’t bear to wake you ” She answered but I couldn’t help but dictate a hint of sneer in her voice
“You could’ve killed me ” I accused but knew inwardly it wasn’t possible . It would take more than a punch to end my life, it was obvious I buckled under the stress and sleeplessness of this week.
Moreover, for such strange reasons I always feel comfortable whenever I’m beside her even my insomnia can’t stand a chance with her.
“I know the strength of my punch, I’m not stupid enough to kill the World rich*st bachelor and become a wanted criminal- Dead or alive ” She answered grudgingly confirming my suspicion she was angry at me, as if her previous kind and cheerful demeanor was a figment of my own imagination.
“What’s wrong? “I asked with a little hesitation wondering where I went wrong this time.
God, I can never understand women!
(A/N: How can you understand someone created while you were in a deep sleep *biblical reference:The creation )
“Oh , I think you should know what’s wrong Niles?” She asked, with her arms folded across her ch*st and a million dollar frown .
“Details please ” I groaned, feeling a headache coming
“Why do you want me around Isabelle?” Maria began her interruption, the usual bulging vein on her face threatening to burst.
She scoffed much to my dismay ” What am I? Ten? Stupid? “
My brows creased from confusion, has she found out everything ? Did she finally figure out the whole plot?
“Don’t take me for an idiot, Niles ” She warned, a resolute one at that.The warning was definitive as if saying, one wrong answer and you’re toasted .
I breathed deeply giving up at once, it was obvious whether I confess or not, each answer held grevious consequence and you can never tell what’s going on in the mind of a woman or what trap I’ll fall into next.They’re such a complex creature
“I want you to turn her human “
There was a long silence after that short confession .The silence was so deafening that one could feel the tension and storm brewing without being told.
“I knew it” She gasped “I’m indeed the collateral damage “
