My Tormentor

The little thief

🦋

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 glancing our of her room door to confirm that no one heard her tummy's loud announcement. She was feeling thirsty also because of so much crying she was completely drained out.

Isabella got down from her bed and walked out of her room. She looked for Iris but she was no where to be found. So Isabella decided to take the water from the kitchen by herself. She started walking and finding the kitchen as she never knew where was the kitchen. She started looking for the kitchen and saw it just beside the dining hall.

Isabella noticed it was an open kitchen with no walls increasing its beauty in the mansion. When she reached near the kitchen she didn't saw any maid there. 'Where is everyone?' she thought. Shrugging her shoulders Isabella looked here and there, when she saw no one she tiptoed and walked past the kitchen island and went to the fridge.

She opened the fridge and took out a water bottle from it. Opening its cap Isabella chugged down the water immediately half emptying it. Her dry throat moistened completely when the cold water ram down her throat. She placed the bottle back and was about to close the door of the fridge but her eyes caught an chocolate ice-cream box behind a fruit bowl.

Isabella's heart started dancing in happiness after watching its favourite thing. Isabella without any second thought took out the box from the fridge and closed its door. 'Should I eat it or not?' she thought. Her tummy again growled commanding her to eat it as soon as possible. But Isabella was hesitating because she knew she shouldn't take anything without permission.

But there was no one who's gonna see her? Her naughty side of mind said to her. Now what she should do? Put the box back like a good girl or eat it before anyone can see. Stomping her foot on the floor confused she raised her head towards the ceiling and joined both of her hands saying "Please God forgive me, but I'm not stealing it, I'm just hungry."

After it she happily opened the box and took a spoon from the rack and scooped the ice-cream and shoved in her mouth. The chocolate ice-cream immediately melted in her mouth. "Mhmm yummy." she moaned in delight feeling the taste of the chocolate ice-cream.

As she scooped the second spoon and was about to again shove it in her mouth a sudden voice from behind her caught her off guard. "I didn't know we have a little thief in our mansion."

Isabella caught off guard of the sudden voice and the box fell from her hands straightly on the floor. The chocolate ice cream smeared all over the floor making the white tiled floor brown. Isabella became a complete statue at her place neither moving nor saying anything.

The person who just called her a little thief was Nicholas. He smashed the officer's head by hammer so many times so the flesh of him flew everywhere staining the walls and his face. After torturing the officer so much even after his death he left the warehouse immediately ordering his men to clean the disgusting mess he created.

He came back to the mansion and was striding towards his room but his feet halted in front of her room. He creak opened the door and saw the little girl still unconscious laying there, so weak and pale. He fisted his hands and after giving a last glance to her left from there.

He went to his room and took a shower to clean all the blood of that filthy officer dared to cross him. Suddenly her remembered the cursed lines said by the officer, the audacity of that man! took his life very painfully. He cleared his mind and after taking a shower went to his closet getting dressed in a plain black shirt and a black pair of joggers.

He went downstairs to drink some water but the scenerio in front of him amused him very much. "Please God forgive me, but I'm not stealing it, I'm just hungry." the little girl was completely conscious now and was praying in the air. He scoffed internally, thinking there's nothing like God.

When she started eating the ice-cream he peered at her eating the ice-cream happily but finally decided to open his mouth. "I didn't know we have a little thief in our mansion." he said and as soon as he said that he saw she got scared and left the ice-cream box falling straight on the floor.

Isabella was standing like a statue there so he decided to walk towards her. He took couple of long steps and reached behind her. He took his face closer to her ear by bending down and whispered "What happened cat caught your tongue now?" he smirked watching her frozen state.

Isabella got free from her trance after hearing him and immediately turned around taking some steps away from him. "I-I'm s-so sorry I will clean it." she said stuttering out and her gaze lowered on the floor completely.

Nicholas saw her so scared and tensed around him knowing the reason behind it he again clutched his fists tightly not this feeling of guilt again.
He pushed away his thoughts and saw Isabella trying to run away from there. "Why were you here?" he asked her coldly.

After few minutes of silence Isabella said "N-nothing."

He knew she was lying as to why she will come in the kitchen for nothing. "I will again ask, why did you come here?" he said folding his muscular arms on his chest while raising his brow at her.

Isabella shook her head vigorously and again tried to run away even from his shadow. Yesterday's incident keep haunting her what is she did another mistake and he will again lock her in that dark room? What if he again try to do bad things to here and her defiance will make him to lock in that room?

Isabella's eyes widened even thinking of the consequences she will have to face of she angered him. 'Will he will lock me in that room again for stealing the ice-cream?' Isabella thought and her soul shivered badly even thinking about it.

Nicholas face completely turned cold and amusement got wiped from his face listening to her loud thoughts. So, now she also thinks him as a monster. What's new in that? That's not what he wants everyone to think? So why is he not liking it if she is thinking like that about him?

"I will not lock you again if you will tell me the truth." he stated demandingly making her eyes go wide. So she again she think out loud making him aware of what she was thinking.

"M-me I-I---" before she can complete her sentence her tummy again growled in hunger making her embarrass once again infront of him. Red hue covered her cheeks completely in embarrassment and her gaze almost down on the floor. She wanted the ground swallow her.

Amusement again came on his face hearing to her tummy's loud growling and he knew that she would be hungry because she didn't ate anything from yesterday's evening. And this must be making her weak and drained out of energy.
