~NEET'S POV~
I woke up from my very peaceful sleep cause of none other than my sweet sweet best friend Kate.
------------------------------------
KATE
Hey sleepyhead wakey wakey, it's morning.
NEET
Close the curtains and get out of the room. Let me sleep some more.
------------------------------------
I murmured with my eyes closed. I hugged my teddy bear close to me 💕
------------------------------------
KATE
It's 10 u idiot get up and make us some breakfast
NEET
Go tell Jena... don't disturb me
KATE
Well, all the working staff is given a day off today have u forgotten.
NEET
Ugh..just leave I will be down in 10 minutes
------------------------------------
After Kate left, I freed myself gently from my teddy bear trying not to disturb her sleep.
I tiptoed my way towards my room to freshen up and get on to my breakfast duty
Once I was ready I made my way to Nia's room to freshen her up and take her downstairs to eat.
------------------------------------
NEET
Sweetie
NIA
Morning mommy
------------------------------------
She said rubbing her eyes and my god she looked so cute
------------------------------------
NEET
Morning baby...Let's get u ready
NIA
Hmmm
------------------------------------
I brought the first aid box from the bathroom along with some clean towels and water.
I carefully undressed her not touching any injured area.
I dipped the towel in water and softly cleaned her.
------------------------------------
NEET
If it hurts u have to tell me..Ok
NIA
Ok mommy
*smiling*
------------------------------------
I continued to cleaning and once done I applied for medicine on her wounds and dressed them properly. Then I dressed Nia in a cute pink frock and did her braids.
------------------------------------
NEET
Let's go and fill ur tummy with some delicious things
NIA
Okie
------------------------------------
I carefully picked her up, not wanting to hurt her injuries, and made my way downstairs.
-----------------------------------
NEET
so what do u wanna eat?
NIA
Hmmm...🤔Pancakes... I haven't eaten them for a long long time.
NEET
Ok then pancakes it is.
------------------------------------
I gently placed her on the kitchen counter and went on making everyone pancakes.
I had just finished making the batter when Bella came.
------------------------------------
NIA
When will I meet my grandparents?
NEET
Baby, it will be soon but before that, u will be meeting someone else.
NIA
Who is it? who is it?
NEET
*chuckling*
it's a surprise u will find soon.
NIA
Ok...I will wait then *pouting*
BELLA
Do u need any help? *poking her head in the kitchen*
NEET
yeah, I have prepared the batter can u start making pancakes?
BELLA
Sure...How are u now Nia?
NIA
I'm good...
*shyly*
BELLA
I will make them, go and feed Nia and if u saw Kate tell her to help me.
NEET
Thank u and sure
------------------------------------
I picked Nia on one side and tray full of pancakes for Nia and me on other hand and made my way to the dining table.
And to no one's surprise, everyone was present there with Kate sitting beside Drew talking happily.
-----------------------------------
NEET
Good morning everyone
------------------------------------
Everyone greeted me back along with Levias. I was utterly shocked that he greeted me with a good morning and nothing absurd like whore or something like that which he did in the hospital.
Not only me but everyone else was also surprised.
Nia hid her face in the crook of my neck on seeing so many people at once.
-----------------------------------
NEET
Baby say good morning to everyone, they are my friends and I promise they won't hurt you.
------------------------------------
I said the last part quietly so that only she can hear. She was hesitant at first but still greeted them with a small wave of her hand.
------------------------------------
NIA
Morning everyone...I'm Nia.
JULIA
Morning cutie-pie I am Julia.
RILEY
I am Riley.
------------------------------------
Just like that everyone introduced themselves to her except Levias.We have just seated ourselves when Levias spoke.
------------------------------------
LEVIAS
Morning princess, I am Levias
------------------------------------
At this moment I saw something change in him. His eyes were gentle as he spoke all his aura that says to stay away vanished on thin air like it wasn't there like ever.
Aha...He has a soft spot for kids that's a surprise. I never thought a person like him have such a sweet side.
The way he said princess sent shivers to me but in a goody-good way..U know that way in which u feel..ahm..ahm..😉😉
------------------------------------
ALEX
Where is our food?
NEET
It's coming..have patience.
DRACO
But u have urs first
NEET
I made it and if u want that bad go make urself
------------------------------------
Just like that, it was quiet once again and I continued feeding Nia and myself leaving others to wait.
My phone started ringing showing no name...I excused myself and went to a corner to attend the call.
-----------------------------------
NEET
Hello...Who is it?
UNKNOWN
Ouch... U have forgotten me so easily...I am hurt
------------------------------------
Once I heard the voice I dreaded the most all the color drained from my face.
If one saw me they will think I have seen a ghost.
------------------------------------
NEET
U...u...u...How did u get my number..No u are someone else...
UNKNOWN
Do u think u can escape that easily...not a chance.
------------------------------------
Now all the doubts went out of the window only he can use such evil and menacing voice.
I can feel myself shaking remembering all the bad things I have been through and worse.
I was snapped back from my memories when he spoke once again.
-----------------------------------
UNKNOWN
I will come and take u soon, my love very soon, very very.
------------------------------------
I was scared of the way he spoke so confidently and I don't wanna go back to him cause once I go I will lose myself.
I called Ella and told her to tell D to track the location and increase the security around here.
I decided to tell Uncle Christian myself about the call that he is back and now he will go to any extent only to get me back.
I somehow collected myself and returned back to my seat.
Anyone can tell something is wrong by just a single look but I don't wanna talk about it right now.
-----------------------------------
DREW
Are u okay...It's like u have seen a ghost
KATE
U are looking very pale, is everything ok
NEET
Yeah I am fine nothing to worry
------------------------------------
I forced out a smile which they certainly didn't believe but thankfully stopped asking me anything else.
I can feel eyes on me of none other than Levias but I didn't have enough strength to turn and face him and lie as if everything is okay I am okay nothing is troubling me.
When in reality I am messed up nothing is going well. I haven't found ''THEM'' and now ''HE'' is also coming to take me. It's like I am falling into a hole deeper and deeper with no one to help but only me.
I don't know when I started to feel like I need to tell Levias who I am and how broken and messed up I am despite my tough facade.
I want to tell him everything but a part of me fears that if I tell him and he despised me, what will I do then.
I feel like he can protect me from anything and all the demons of my past but a part of me fears what if the demons of my past hurt him what will I do then.
I have never felt this way before. I have had many boyfriends but I felt empty with them but with Levias it's different.
Even though he doesn't talk with me that much or even hates me I still wish to be with him.

~~WRITER'S POV~~
When Neet came back after receiving the call just a glance of her told Levias that something is bothering him.
He hasn't seen fear in her eyes like now when he choked her or when his Knights pointed a gun at her.
He badly wanted to know what's bothering her in other words who was the person that called and what did he said to make her look like this in no more than 5-7 minutes.
He swore to find about it and to protect her if she is in any kind of danger.
He saw her as the person who has and will lighten up his soul which had darkness before.
With the entry of a new person whom Neet fears what will happen, how will Levias react when found about it?
