1807 Words
After finding out that her father lives in London she confirmed her decision to go find him. Helen was so happy with her decision and planned everything accordingly.
A few days later
Today Isabella, Cindy, Helen, and baby Nyra will go to London. Isa got ready; she wore a formal dress and kept her makeup minimal. Then she packed the things she needed, said goodbye to Granny, and went to the Knight mansion. Everyone was waiting for her. She took Nyra in hand and they went to the airport. But she was stunned when she discovered that they were going to travel in a freaking Jet. This is the first time she is seeing one this close.
Their journey lasted almost 7 hours then finally reached their destination. Mrs. Knight was in front leading, then Isa with Nyra, then Cindy. Isa was busy playing with Nyra and showing things to her while walking. Then Cindy suddenly grabbed her hand and her eyes looked towards a handsome man in front; he was hugging Helen.
Isabella
I was stunned to see the most handsome man If ever seen in front. He was like a freaking Greek god. He looks in my direction, I mean in Nyra’s direction. For a fraction of a second, his eyes landed on me. I was like a deer caught in headlights. I lowered my gaze instantly. His look was so dominant that I felt vulnerable. I saw him coming towards me. He took Nyra from my hands and accidentally his fingers touched mine. Damn... My heartbeat raced... my breath felt uneven... I felt goosebumps all over my body. I was just dumbstruck at that moment. This has never happened to me before. Then Cindy dragged me along with her. Then only I noticed Helen and the handsome man walking towards the exit.
"Hey Isa, what is wrong with you?? Are you scared of Mr. Knight just like me?? " Cindy asked
'What... Did I just meet... Arthur... Freaking... Knight... Oh lord... what was I thinking... it was so obvious... it’s just that I was lost for a moment when I saw him...' I thought to myself.
"Hey Cindy, no, I'm not... I'm just tired..." I lied.
"But you should be afraid of him. He is nothing but the devil himself. So be careful when he is around... He despises poor people... and treats servants like slaves... I mean they pay for good food and accommodations... but he talks to us like a dictator..."
"So he is like Hitler here..."
"Kind of ...By the way, I like that name... it suits him pretty well..."
We both laughed. And when I looked up he was glaring at us.
"Mom you come with me in the limousine, the servants can take the other car, okay.."
Mrs. Knight tried to protest, but he didn't even give her a chance. He was not willing to listen to anything.
Helen looked in my direction and I just nodded at her in understanding. We went in the next car and reached the mansion in 10 minutes.
If I thought the Knight’s mansion in New York was huge, this was enormous... Why are they spending this much money on building homes? If I ever have a home, I will make sure that the home is only the size it needed to be. I have a small sweet home, not a cold freaking mansion.
In the hall Helen and her son were talking, as we entered Helen smiled at us.
"Arthur, meet Ms. Isabella Nyra's nanny, and Cindy Nyra's personal chef."
I politely smiled at him and in return, I received only one glare.
"Whatever... Mom I'm going to take a bath and we will have dinner after that ok." and he left.
What a douche..!
Helen came to me. " Sorry dear, he is like that. He won't accept anybody easily. and always remains professional... "
"Of Course I understand..."
Helen showed me Nyra's room. Each room is almost the size of my home. Extremely spacious and luxurious. She told me the room next to Nyra's was mine. Nyra was asleep, so I laid her in the crib and came out of the room. Hmm, Nyra's room was in between two rooms. And nobody is here to ask which one is mine. If I go somewhere else or move away from here I might get lost. Maybe I should wait for some time then. I waited for a few minutes, but I couldn't see anybody coming. So I thought of checking one of the rooms by myself.
Right or Left..??
Ladies are always right, so...Right!!
So I opened the room and I was frozen at that moment.
Before me, I saw the Greek god standing in just a towel. Water droplets dripped from his hair onto his hard chest then down to the pack of muscles on his stomach and... I was interrupted by his hoarse sound.
"What the hell are you doing here... "
Only then had I come to my senses, stupid hormones!!
"I..."
"Get out..."
"I'm sorry Mr.Knight, entering the room... was... a mistake... I mean..."
"Get out now..."
Then I ran out without turning back.
Damn...!! What is wrong with me...
I know that he is attractive... not just attractive but a strikingly handsome man.
But I have a boyfriend... and I can't gawk at him like this. But I don't seem to have any control over my senses when I'm near him. I have already embarrassed myself twice now. I should act more professionally.
I took a bath quickly, and Cindy came to my room by that time. She told me that they already have two chefs here. So she only needs to prepare for Nyra and doesn't need to help others.
"Your room is luxurious. mine is awesome too. But you got a guest room to stay in because you need to be near Nyra at night. You're so lucky..."
I smile. We went downstairs and had dinner from the dining area specifically for workers. When I was returning I heard him talking to Helen.
"…From where you found her, she is just like all the others. Only after money, you know she tried her first attempt today. But she doesn't know me very well... Getting into my bed will not be easy for a cheap girl like her..."
What...!! I couldn't control my anger and I knocked and went to the sitting area.
He was surprised at first to see me, then it changed into arrogance.
"Mrs. Knight, with all due respect, your son is accusing me of things I didn't even do..."
"I know dear..."
"What... you're believing her over me. She came to my room today by herself..." He interfered in between.
"Mr. Knight, I came to your room by mistake. I don't have any fantasy about sleeping with you nor do I need your money in that way. Mrs. Knight informed me that I can take the room next to Nyra’s. And there were two rooms and mistakenly I entered your room. So please don't degrade me with false accusations..."
"What... how dare you to talk to me like this... you know what you’re fired..." He roared at me.
I was stunned after hearing this. But I can't take any of the s**t coming from his mouth. My self-esteem is very high. It’s Okay, my life won't end here.
Then Mrs. Knight interrupted him, "Arthur stop this childishness... Are you angry that you found you were wrong or with the insult that she has no interest in you.." she laughed. His face turned hard.
"Okay, stop this cat and mouse game now. This discussion is over... and nobody is firing anybody..."
"But mom..."
"Arthur... Nyra only stays if Isa stays here... otherwise they will both come back with me to New York tomorrow... you decide... and my decision final..." Her voice was stern enough to say she is very serious about what she said. This is the first time I'm seeing her With such a serious face, and Arthur was standing like an obedient kid in front of her.
Aww, cute... no... I can't get soft on him ever... He is a douche...
He glared at me and left silently.
After he left Helen came to me. I felt awful to have lost my temper in front of her.
" I'm really sorry for that, I mean for creating a scene here… not for the things I told him... "
" I know Isa. You did the right thing. But when I'm not around please be patient with him. He might seem tough, but when you get to know him closer he is an amazing human. He’s had so much betrayal that he built a wall of protection around him. And won't allow anybody to break it. I think that his girlfriend doesn't even know that much about him... "
I just nodded in agreement.
Oh... So Mr. Hitler has got a girlfriend too... if he is like this, then I can imagine what kind of girl would be his girlfriend.
After talking with Helen I went to my room and closed the door. Suddenly I felt the presence of someone. I was shocked to see Mr. Hitler sitting on the sofa in my room.
Did I make a mistake about my room again? I was about to exit. Then my hand was grabbed by him.
"I'm sorry…” I said instantly...
my hand still in his grip.
"For what..." he came near me and I tried to move my hand away.
"For mistaking the room again..."
Then he chuckled... "This is your room...and... What was your name...again... hmm... Bella..."
"This is my room!?! then what are you doing here..." my face turned fearfully angry.
"Your face looks cute when you're angry Bella..."
"I'm not Bella... I'm Isabella... Isa..." my voice turned into a whisper when his face came near to my face.
"You're Bella for me..." and he blew air to my face and my face got flushed.
Then he let go of my hand and moved away from me.
"And then you say you don't have any interest in me. But right now you're blushing like hell... "
I got embarrassed that this was all his plan and I fell for it unknowingly.
"Now that we're clear, stay away from me, as I told you earlier. Okay miss Bella good night"
"It is Isabella to you... Mr. Hit... I mean... Mr. Knight..."
He just glared at me and then left.
What is wrong with me...
I gave him a chance to play me...
He is bad news. I better stay away from him.
Then I meditate a bit to relax my mind. I call Granny and Michael, and after writing my diary I went to sleep.
