Alexander's POV:

I went into my room after showing Isabella her room. I don't know what came into me when I kissed on her cheek but damn it felt good.
I quickly showered and changed into my sweats. I went to sleep but suddenly I heard a scream. I quickly got up and went into the direction from where the scream was coming. It was from Isabellas room.

I ran inside the room and saw that she was having a nightmare. She had tears running down her cheeks, her forehead was covered with sweat and kept mumbling nos in her sleep.
I went towards her and tried to wake her up. She was not waking up. She was just shaking her head sideways. I made her sit and shook her. She was trying to push me away but I held her firmly. She suddenly started to scream, "Please. I am sorry. Please don't hurt me." I tried to calm her down, "Hey hey Isabella no one is going to hurt you" I dont know what made me say the next words but I really meant them. "ti proteggerò bella" (I will always protect you).She slowly opened her eyes and hugged me tight. I just sat there holding her in my arms and stroked her hair.
After some time her breaths become even indicating she fell asleep. I make sure that she is asleep and covered her body with the blanket. I glanced at her sleeping form for one last time and closed the door as I went outside.

I saw kitchen lights were on and checked who was there. It was Kathy. "What are you doing here?" I ask her and she jumped on my voice. "Jesus dont scare me like that. I was just drinking water. But what are you doing here at this time?" she asked me narrowing he eyes.
I opened my mouth to answer her but she interrupted me, "and dont even lie to me fratello. I saw you coming out of Isabella's room." I sighed and told her the truth, "I heard her scream so I went to see what was wrong. She was having a nightmare" I replied. "Oh my god. I thought she stopped having nightmares after college" Kate said with a frown on her face. I was intrigued. "What do you mean?" I asked her.
She sighed and answered, "Some shit went down when we were in college and she was traumatized. She constantly had nightmares and panic attacks. She even shifted to college dorms to avoid going home. I was worried for her that's why I also shifted with her in the dorms. But after few months she got better. I know what happened but I'm not going to tell you. It's not my story to say. But if you like her then don't break her trust. She is really a nice person." I just nodded at her as she left the kitchen. I blew a breath and went to sleep. What happened to you that you are even scared to sleep Isabella? that was the last thought before sleep consumed me.
