His words were solemn and sounded serious as if he was making a sincere promise to her. The girl was still childish, she looked up at him with her worn out depressed eyes and showed him her pinky finger, "Do you pinky promise?"Ryan couldn't help but get his straight lips curl up into a smile, he hooked his pinky pinger with her before making his promise to her.This was illogical, as a grown up boy he never believed on this childish rituals and pinky promises but seeing that this filled the girl with rays of hope and happines he gladly put up with it.the tension between his furrowed eyebrows and the room started to ease out as the girl's sound of chuckling resounded in the room.Ryan got up and two boys left after saying goodbye to the little girl who even came down with Miss Lala to escort them out.Inside the car Ryan had his eyes hooked on the girl untill his car moved out making her disappear from his sight. Jack said, "She is a really good girl, isn

Ryan could feel something piercing down his heart, he was never an apathetic person yet for this little girl all he felt was an endless pity. She was really young, childhood was said to be the golden age of a person's entire life- while he was drained off in learning how to survive alone this girl's life too wasn't much better than him. She too was learning to live alone but sadly, this left a deep scar in her.Catherine wiped her nose with her palm before looking around the room, casting a smile weaker than her she said, "You asked, right, why I have so many stuff toys in my room. They are here... To make me feel a little less lonely. At night, when they are around... I feel a little less by myself. I... During nightmares, I couldn't call anyone to accompany me; all I can do was..." Catherine hugged her Fiona doll and closed her beautiful round eyes drowned in sorrow, "hug them and try to find... Warmth in them which makes me feel... Not alone and... Insecure."A sing

The following day when he met her again he couldn't resist her; when she touched him he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen which was both pleasant and peculiar for him. He couldn't take his eyes off her; the more he saw her the more he feared that his emotions for her were not normal and the comments were rather true. Was he... Really in love with her? When he was with her he felt like forgetting everything and just being with her, nuzzled in her company. His young heart was blossoming with a beautiful emotion. It was hard for him to accept this and till lunch, all of these worries were churning in his heart; the worst kind of feeling in the world was the one that is left unknown. Ryan finally gave up denying everything; he liked her, he did like being with her and wanted to protect her all his love. He started to accept this fact and even if he had some doubts about it everything vanished into thin air when they had a heart-to-heart in her room. When h

"I missed you too, Cathie!" Ryan caressed the girl before receiving the basket that Jack had in his hands. Giving it to her he said, "This is for you, baby girl. It has got cookies, cupcakes, and candies." Catherine took the basket and smiled, "Thank you, Big Brother." Ryan's eyes picked on the specks of dirt that were on her elbow, he carefully dusted them off asking, "Did you fall again?" Catherine poked out her tongue, "Floor likes Catherine..." Ryan ruffled her hair spolingly and looked up at the housekeeper; his tone, which was warm as the summer breeze just now, turned cold like that of glaciers all of a sudden, "You are supposed to be watching on her; why is she hurt?" The housekeeper knew that the Young Master of the Nguyen clan was someone she couldn't afford to offend. "Mr. Nguyen... I... I...." She tried to reason herself but the boy's gaze and presence were so overbearing that she couldn't even spill a sane word. Ryan signaled her to stop,

The two were called down for dinner; during the whole course of dinner Catherine kept on chattering about her wild fantasies.'Ryan, does unicorn exists?''Ryan, do you think... I am a little mermaid! Did I too lose my memory and came to land?.'Ryan, do wonderland really exist? Can you take me there?'The Young Master was extremely patient with the kid, he went on nodding and giving out the reply that she was looking forward to. If believing that unicorns existed gave her happiness, he may as well start believing that those mythical one-horned creatures were real. If she thinks that she was the little mermaid of the ocean, he would start believing that he was the Prince she left the ocean for.After the two washed their hands Ryan looked at the time and asked, "Why isn't Mr Silva here yet?" The housekeeper, who was currently cleaning the table, replied, "Something urgent happened in an International branch, I don't know much about it but Mr Silva said that
