Tormenting Her Innocence novel Chapter 5

"What is she doing here?"

Kaya slightly shivered at that hoarse tone of his voice. She clutched Damien's hand while hiding herself behind him. Stretching her head a bit, she peeked at that stranger with those icy blue eyes and stone hard voice.

She gulped, witnessing his eyes already on her. She again hid herself completely behind Damien. Zian clenched his jaw at her stupid behaviour. Is she mental or what? Why was she hiding herself from him like he was a damn ugly monster?

Zian tore his eyes away from her to look at his father, and before he could ask anything further, he heard his father shutting him off.

"Kaya is going to stay here with us from now on,"

So this little rat's name is Kaya, but wait…did he hear his father correctly? Is she going to live with them here, in their own house?

"What? But doesn't she have her family or her own house to live in?" He questioned, without caring how rude he might sound. Kaya felt extremely hurt after hearing his question. She lowered her eyes and this time, she didn't even try to peek at that impolite stranger.

A scowl made its way on Damien's face. He knew his son was ill-mannered, so he did need to teach him a lesson.

"We are her family from now onwards and this is her home too, so try getting used to it, Zian Karlson," Damien spat. Zian scoffed. He still couldn't understand what was happening there. Why was she going to leave with them all of a sudden?

Zian's phone started ringing, halting him from investigating the matter further. He took out his phone and saw his friend John's name flashing on it. Zian decided to drop that topic there for now. He needed to be somewhere else right now.

"Mum, I am going out. I will be a little bit late tonight, so don't wait for me for dinner,"He informed his mother. Zia nodded.

"And where are you going?" Damien asked. Zian had already expected his father to question him about this.

"I am going to my friend, John's house," he answered. Damien didn't question him further.

Zian walked past his head but before leaving, he passed a glance at that tiny figure standing behind his father. She took her afraid golden brown eyes upward to look at him. She looked terrified and immediately downcast her head. Zian watched her dragging her steps silently away from him, like he was a plague. What a crazy being….an ugly little rat.

Zian mentally frowned and then walked away from there.

Zia sighed and looked at Kaya. She was looking extremely tense and afraid. Damien held Kaya's hand and brought her forward.

"He is our son, Zian. You have no need to be afraid of him, Kaya," Damien sent her an assuring smile, but only if he knew.

Kaya gently wagged her head.

"Okay now I will feed something really very tasty to my Kaya. Come with me, dear," Holding Kaya's hand, Zia took her with her, bringing a smile to Kaya's face.

……………

"What's with this face, Zian?"

John, Zian's best friend, asked, watching that angry scowl on Zian's face. He didn't reply, turning his friends more confused.

"Karlson, are you even listening to us or not?"

Zian heard his other friend, Austin, uttering.

"My father has brought a fucking little rat in our home," he finally opened his mouth. His words turned his friend confused.

"Rat? What do you mean?" John asked, perplexed.

"That girl who saved my mother from the accident last week. Dad brought her to our home and now she is going to stay in our home with us," he seethed out, displeased.

"What? But doesn't she have her own home or family?"

"Apparently I asked this same shit to my dad, but he shut me off by saying….she is the damn part of our family now and my home is her home now," the 18 years old looked infuriated. The mere idea of staying with that tiny weird being was not settling well with him.

"Wow…..are you parents planning on adopting her now?" John asked, sending an amused gaze to Zian.

"Yeah….our dear bad boy Zian Karlson is about to get a little sib…."

"Completely that fucking sentence of yours, Austin and I will make sure to bleed that nasty mouth of yours," Zian warned him.

"She doesn't even deserve to be my maid, let alone a part of my damn family. She is a fucking weirdo. After watching me, she was hiding herself behind my dad like I was going to chew her alive,"

Austin chuckled, at his remark.
