The continues knock on the door broke Nisha's sleep. She yawned and got up from the bed to open the door while rubbing her eyes.

She opened the door and saw Jenny standing, she smiled at her." Good morning aunty." She said in her sleepy voice.

"Good morning honey I have already set the breakfast go get freshen up and come down fast." She told her and walked away.

Breakfast Nisha thought confusedly then her eyes widened when it fall on the wall clock.

Holly freaking hell she thought looking at the clock which showed past 7 am. She was supposed to wake up early today and start her job hunting, yesterday after returning from orphanage she listed few places where there is job vacancy.

She hurriedly did her morning chores and got ready in a shirt and jeans, she tied hair in a ponytail and walked out taking her mobile and purse.

She saw Ishaan sitting all ready for his work in his another set of suit busy in his mobile,"good morning Ishaan," she greeted him and he passed her a small smile with a nod,

she shrugged and sat on the table, Jenny started to serve her." Where is Ben." She asked.

"He has already finished his breakfast and currently running in garden." Jenny said and she nodded,

She looked at Ishaan who was busy in mobile can't he keep that device aside and have his breakfast properly she thought frowning but didn't said anything. They finished their breakfast and she was about to get up but stopped by his voice.

"Wait Nisha, we are going somewhere." He said pocketing his mobile.

"Again , " she asked,

He nodded." But before that come with me I introduce you to someone." He said getting up and walking towards the huge living area she followed him confusedly.

There she saw a man standing,he was tall and looked same age as Ishaan, he has dark brown hair and blue eyes, he was mascular and had that scary aura which can make you run for hills.

What is Ishaan doing with this machoman Nisha thought frowning inwardly.

The man who was Jaiden turned around and surprise and shock flikered in his eyes for a moment while seeing a girl behind Ishaan before they turned cold, he knows Ishaan past as he was the first few man who stood besides Ishaan when he was nothing,

"You called me boss." He asked him.

Ishaan nodded, he turned towards Nisha," you go and sit in the car I will be there in a minute." He said and turned towards Jaiden.

Nisha nodded and turned to go but stopped remembering something." But which one, I mean you garage is like a car shop and how I m supposed to know that in which car I am supposed to wait,..." Nisha slapped a hand on her mouth realizing she was blabbering non-stop.

Ishaan pressed his lips in a thin line as amusement danced in his eyes, Jaiden on the other hand was looking at her in both shock and amusement, shock for her guts of talking like that with Ishaan.

"Go my driver is outside he will show you in which car you are supposed to wait." He told her and she quickly nodded running out.

"We found the betrayer boss." Jaiden told him as soon as Nisha out of their side.

Ishaan nodded." Very well I will meet him tomorrow till then tell Andrew to take care of our guest properly." He told him darkly as the all softness left his face replacing it with coldness.

Jaiden nodded." One more thing Jaiden for which I called you, I want you to be Nisha's bodyguard." Ishaan told him Jaiden neck snapped towards him with shock all over his face.

"Who Nisa." He said asked in confusion.

"The girl you saw just now, I know it must be shocking for you Jaiden but Nisha is someone very important her mother was like a mother figure in my life and I promised her that I will protect Nisha from everything , and now as her mother is no more she is my responsibility and I will be domed if I let my promise to Asha maa be broken." Ishaan told him .

" my life is filled with thrones and I will not be always with her to protect her that's why I want you to be her bodyguard to make sure she is save when i will be not be around her," Ishaan told him and Jaiden nodded.

He understood one thing that this girl whoever she is very important him, from the time he is with Ishaan he never saw him caring for anyone other then Vihaan, Reyansh and Nick.

"Got it boss." He nodded

"I have to go somewhere and keep updated about our guest." He said and walked away.

He walked outside to see Nisha happily chatting with the middle aged driver, chatterbox he thought shaking his head, he walked towards them and they stopped talking looking at him,

"Shall we." He asked looking at Nisha gesturing towards the car and she quickly nodded and getting inside.

He walked towards the driver side and got inside the car.

"Do you plan on informing me ever about where you will take me because this is the second time." Nisha asked sarcastically.

Ishaan glanced at her one time and she immediately shut her mouth. She made a face at him." Grumpy vampire." She murmured and looked outside the window.

After a long drive they stopped infront of a big University, Nisha looked at him confusedly." Why are we here." She asked him.

He unbuckled his seat belts." You know soon , now follow me." He said getting out of the car. She followed him like a lost puppy as she got out of the car she saw that it was the top fashion University of New York, Nisha stopping death in her tracks as the realization drowned upon her.

"Ishaan stop." Nisha called him and he stopped and looked at her with a raised a eyebrow.

"What are we doing here." She asked him.

"You will kn..." She cut him off,

" Tell me now otherwise I m not moving a Damm inch from my place and if you try to drag me like a paperball then I will shout and create a scene here." She threatened him looking seriously.

is she really threatening me, does it look like I care about her silly threat Ishaan thought tooking a deep breath."we are here to get you admission here as you left your course in middle in India." He told her calmly.

"I m not taking any admission here." Nisha told him.

Ishaan frowned." Why." He asked her.

Nisha squeezed her eyes in frustration how to make him understand, "Ishaan I m not financially stable now, and at this Time it's impossible for me to continue my course, before we were poor but had a balance in life but now I m completely messed up and it will take me time to get back in track and until then I can't think about continuing it." Nisha Completed with a deep breath hopping he would understand.

"You don't have to worry about that." Ishaan said casually giving no heed to her words.

Her mouth was hang open is he serious after that long speech, what I got this short sentence, Nisha thought in disbelief.

"Ishaan you are not doing this, you have done enough for and the more you doing for me the more the burden in my shoulder is increasing because I don't know how will i repay you, I m a grown up girl Ishaan and becoming dependent in you for everything is making me more distressed," Nisha told him, she always wanted to be a independent girl who would stand on her feet and take care of her maa but everything is shattered now, not only the pain of losing Asha but the helplessness and frustration of becoming a damsel in distress which she never wanted to be is messing her mind.

Ishaan looked at her, he always saw her as the cheerful irritating girl and sometimes stupid to , otherwise who would slap a stranger in middle of the road, but now seeing her like a mature girl has took him by surprise.

"Nisha who said that you have to be dependent on me, not Everytime life goes as we went it to be and I m just helping you as a friend." Ishaan said.

"I know but...." Nisha said but he cut her off,

"Ok fine let's have a deal , let me pay for your course and after you get a job you can repay me back deal." He asked in his businessman mode.

Nisha hesitate." But..." He cut her off,

"Now no more buts common." He said holding her hand and pulling her with him while she reluctantly followed him.

As they exited the University gate , Nisha continued to stare admiring at her new identy card , her classes will start from Monday means two days later from today and she couldn't wait start it again, she wished she had Asha besides her to hug her tightly and shout at the top of her voice about her new University.

Ishaan looked at her face which was shining few minutes ago was now covered with gloominess.

"Sooo your classes starting from Monday excited for new environment and friends." He asked her and she looked at him with a small smile nodding.

Fuck you Ishaan distract her he cursed himself in his mind as it's been nine years since he deal with emotions, his world used to roam around business, his revenge, blood , guns, and now after Soo many years because of this silly girl he has to fight with his emotions again.

"Umm ice khaogi ." He asked with uncertainity.

(Translation: " umm wanna have ice cream." )

Nisha eyes lit up like twinkling lights and she looked at him with a wide grin nodding her head, his lip twitched looking at her childish behavior." Get in the car." He said and she literally run towards the car.

"Nisha slow down." He shouted running behind her.

"No hurry my ice cream will be finished." She shouted back hopping inside the passenger sit making him shake his head at her.
