THE AIR HOSTESS ON THAT PLANE ANNOUNCED THAT THE PLANE WOULD BE LANDING IN A FEW MINUTES. NICHOLAS PUT HIS BOOK BACK IN A SUITCASE. HE GAVE ME A GLANCE. BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE HIS GAZE FROM ME. HE WAS IMPRESSED BY MY BEAUTY. BUT HE WAS TOO ARROGANT TO SAY THAT TO ME. I WAS TIRED OF LOOKING AT THOSE CLOUDS. I MOVED MY HEAD AWAY FROM THE WINDOW AND GLANCED AT HIM. 

WHAT I DIDN' T KNOW WAS THAT HE HIMSELF WAS LOOKING AT ME. MY EYES MET HIS. I FROZE. SUDDENLY, HE REGAINED HIS COMPOSURE AND GAVE ME AN ICY LOOK. I GULPED NERVOUSLY AND LOOKED AWAY AND SO DID HE. 

THE FLIGHT LANDED IN THE AIRPORT. WE IMMEDIATELY GOT OUT FROM IT. NICHOLAS SAT IN HIS CAR AND I SAT BESIDE HIM. NO CAR IS LIKE A PLANE SO THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN 10 METRE DISTANCE. IN THE CAR, I PUSHED MYSELF TOWARDS THE WINDOW SO THAT NICHOLAS WOULDN' T COMPLAIN THAT I WAS SITTING VERY CLOSE TO HIM. 

NICHOLAS SAT NEAR THE OTHER WINDOW, BUT UNLIKE ME, HE TOOK ENOUGH SPACE FOR HIMSELF TO SIT COMFORTABLY. I KEPT MY HAND ON THE SOFT SEAT. NICHOLAS WAS LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW. BY MISTAKE, HE PUT HIS HAND ON MINE. I TURNED TOWARDS WHERE OUR HAND WAS. I DIDN' T KNOW WHAT TO DO. 

NICHOLAS GAVE ME A STERN LOOK. "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY HAND?"

"BUT I DIDN' T DO ANYTHING. IT WAS YOU WHO PUT YOUR HAND ON MINE." I SAID SOFTLY.

HE REMOVED HIS HAND FROM MINE AND STARED AT THE ROAD. I LOOKED AT HIM. I WAS REALLY HURT. HIS HAND HAD FELT SO WARM, I NEVER WANTED TO LOOSEN MY GRIP FROM IT. A TEAR FELL FROM MY EYES. NICHOLAS NOTICED THIS. HIS ARROGANT HEART SOFTENED. BUT HE DIDN' T HAVE WORDS TO EXPRESS IT. 

HE KNEW, HE HAD ALREADY MESSED WITH ME BUT HE DIDN' T KNOW WHAT I FELT. I HOPED THAT BETTER DAYS WOULD COME. EITHER AFTER DAYS OR MONTHS. 

WE WERE SILENT. AFTER ABOUT HALF AN HOUR WE REACHED HIS HOUSE. IT LOOKED MORE LIKE A MANSION RATHER THAN A HOUSE.

I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AFTER NICHOLAS. ALL MY THINGS ARRIVED IN A FEW MINUTES. I WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE. I WAS GREETED BY A CHEERFUL SQUEAK. IT WAS FROM NICHOLAS' S SISTER, OLIVIA ANDERSON. SHE DIDN' T LOOK A DAY OLDER THAN 20.

"I' M SO HAPPY. FINALLY MRS. CHARMING HAS ARRIVED TO TAKE CARE OF ME AND SAVE ME FROM MY BROTHER WHEN NEEDED. I HAD LONGED FOR SUCH A PERSON. FINALLY, GOD HEARD MY PRAYER."

I LOOKED AT NICHOLAS. HIS FACE WAS EXPRESSIONLESS. HE WENT UP THE STAIRS, TO HIS ROOM. OLIVIA INTRODUCED ME TO THE TWO MAIDS, SARAH AND FARAH, WHO WORKED AT HIS HOUSE. THEN SHE INTRODUCED ME TO SIREN ANDERSON, THE YOUNGEST AND LAST SISTER OF NICHOLAS. 

HIS PARENTS DIDN' T LIVE WITH HIM BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TRAVEL A LOT DUE TO THEIR BUSINESS. ALL OF THEM INTRODUCED THEMSELVES AND SEEMED TO BE VERY FRIENDLY EXCEPT THAT DEVIL
