Hidden hints!

Author's POV

Everyone was in the hall doing their own respective workouts.

Isabella was there too and was requesting damian to teach her how to do arching and so he started teaching her.

Rose was burning in jealously looking at them.

Damian was explaining her everything and isabella was continuously blushing.

Rose took out her gloves and started punching the punching bag with bare hands. She punched it so furiously and continuosly that her knuckles started bleeding still she didn't stopped and took out all her anger on the that bag. No one noticed her as everyone was busy in their exercises.

That poor bag managed to take few more punches from her and fell down on the floor with a thud. Everyone's eyes snapped towards her, they looked at rose, her hands were fully covered in blood and she was panting heavily. Damian looked at her and realised what he was doing, he got away from isabella and stepped towards her but Jackson was quick to get rose before him.

"What the hell are you doing rose ?..."

Jackson scolded inspecting her hands.

"I am fine..."

Rose pulled her hands away and walked past by damian without even glancing at him which made him feel guilty.

"What happened to her suddenly?..."

Isabella asked confused.

"Don't worry bella, that's how she does her workout, it's normal..."

Jack said...

Rose entered in her room and took a shower, she got dressed and didn't even bother to look at her injured hands.

She heard cries from outside and walked towards the living room.

She saw a little boy standing on the dinning table and he was crying his heart out. Lilly and jack was trying their best to calm him down but he was not listening anything. Damian was trying to calm him down too but failed miserably since his strong and rude voice was scaring that poor child more.

"What are you guys doing?... Who is this kid...?"

Rose looked at the kid and asked confusingly.

Jack told her that he is Xavier's son and they had to kidnap him so Xavier can do as they want.

Rose looked at damian in disbelief and shouted.

"You did what?..."

Her voice boomed in the living room and everyone flinched at their place even damian.

That kid stopped crying and looked at rose.

"How can you drag an innocent kid in all this mess. Look at him, what have you done to him..."

She scolded everyone and they looked down guiltily.

"Listen rose, it was necessary... It's not like I am gonna hurt him. I just want to make Xavier feel regret..."

Damian tried to calm her down.

"Regret...?"

Rose took a step forward and damian stepped back.

"Anything but kids damian, you people can't drag innocent kids in this mess..."

Jack looked at damian in shock when he saw damian stepping back.

Damian looked at him and whispered...

"What?... Man look at her, I don't think she will hesitate before breaking my bones too along with you atleast not after how I am behaving with her..."

Jack nodded furiously in agreement.

"Yeah safety comes first..."

He gave him thumbs up.

"Let him go damian, now..."

Rose growled making everyone look at her.

"Rose we can't do this, just listen to me..."

Damian reasoned.

"I want daddy..."

That boy sniffed.

Damian looked at him and sighed...

"Skyler... I told you your daddy and we are playing hide n seek. Don't you want to win..."

He said gently and Skyler looked at him with a pout.

"You wanna talk to your daddy?..."

He asked again and he nodded.

Damian called Xavier and he answered the call on first ring.

"Your son wants to know if we are really playing hide n seek or not Xavier..."

Damian said smirking and put the phone on speaker so he can talk to Skyler.

"Daddy?..."

Skyler sobbed.

"Hey champ... Why are you crying, I told you crying is a bad thing right. You wanted me to play with you right so we are playing now..."

Xavier tried to calm him down.

"Really we are playing?..."

He asked wiping his tears.

"Yes, now uncle damian will help you to hide. If you won I will buy you a new video game, so be a good boy..."

Skyler's face turned happy and he jumped in excitement.

"Yeah! Video game. Ok daddy l'll be a good boy..."

He quickly replied.

"That's like my champ. Love you..."

He said and damian disconnected the call.

"See I was telling you that only?..."

Damian said to Skyler and he nodded.

"I am sorry uncle I won't cry again..."

Damian smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Good boy, now you can go with lilly. She will help you to hide..."

Damian pointed towards lilly but Skyler shook his head.

"No I want to go with her..."

Skyler pointed towards rose making everyone shock.

"Her? Why?..."

Damian asked confused.

Rose looked at the boy shocked, she tried to protect the boy but she has no idea how to deal with kids. She always maintained safe distance with children as they start crying over small things.

"Because everyone is scared of her..."

Skyler giggled and everyone looked at him weirdly.

He jumped on rose from the dinning table and rose quickly catched him before he fell down.

"Let's go hide..."

Skyler said excitingly and rose gulped nervously.

"I don't know how to deal with kids..."

She looked at damian and he chuckled.

"Who told you to play hero, now take him..."

He shrugged and she glared at him.

****

Rose was sitting on the sofa in her bedroom and Skyler was on the bed drawing something in his book.

Rose was glancing at him every two minutes and she breathed in relief when she saw him sitting quietly doing his own work.

Her cold behaviour never went along with kids, she often made them cry that's why she never trained new childrens whom Renzo brought in the campus, she always trained adults as they were much easier to handle.

And now she didn't wanted to scare that poor child who is already kidnapped by his father's rival.

"Can you draw butterfly for me?..."

Skyler asked out of nowhere making her look at him.

"I don't know how to draw it..."

She replied.

"No problem..."

He replied and continued his work.

Skyler again peaked at her while she was busy reading her book.

"I am bored..."

He whined.

Rose looked at him not sure how to deal with him.

"Do you have games in your mobile...?"

He asked and she said no making him pout.

"Ok I will download it give me your phone..."

He ordered and she looked at him with raised eyebrows.

She gave him her mobile and he downloaded the game and started playing.

"Kids nowadays..."

She mumbled and looked at her book again.

Skyler and rose looked at the door when they saw the door opening. It was damian. Both of them ignored him and continued to do their work.

Damian placed the first aid kit on the table and sat beside rose. He snatched the book away from her hands and inspected the wounds.

"I am fine..."

She pulled her hands away from his.

He grabbed them again and glared at her.

"Stop it rose and let me check..."

He bandaged her hand which was more injured first and just applied an ointment on the other which was just bruised.

"What happened to your hands?..."

Skyler asked, he kept the mobile aside and walked towards her.

"Nothing she just got hurt while fighting with bad man's.."

Damian replied.

"Ohh you are so brave, isn't it hurting. Why are you not crying..."

Rose chuckled at his cute words.

"No it's not..."

She replied smiling at him.

"Wow, you are so strong. Will you marry me?..."

He asked and rose choked on her saliva along with damian.

"What? Marry you?..."

She asked shocked.

"Yes, you are so strong. You gave me your mobile to play games my mom never does that for me and you yelled at everyone for me. And you didn't bored me by asking silly questions like everyone does because I am little baby, I am not I am big boy now. I am 5 years old. You are so sweet I like you. And daddy said he married mom because he liked her so will you marry me because I like you...."

He blabbered in his cute baby voice and rose giggled at his sweet words making damian look at her in adoration.

"No, I can't marry you..."

She said pouting.

"Why..."

He asked sadly.

"Because even if you are a big 5 year old boy you are still small, I can't marry you see your height doesn't match with me..."

She said and he nodded.

He thought for a while and chirped.

"Then will you marry me when I become a big boy like uncle damian?..."

Rose smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Ok... then I will marry you..."

"Promise?..."

He grinned.

"Yes, promise..."

She replied sweetly and Skyler jumped on her lap, hugging her tightly.

Damian was looking at them shocked, whatever happened right now reminded him of the familiar scene of his with little Isabella. It was exactly the same, the way rose replied to Skyler and skyler replied to rose was exactly the same scene he has experienced with little Isabella.

"What happened?..."

Rose asked him when she saw him lost, he shook his head and got up.

"Nothing..."

He mumbled and left the room.

Damian entered his room and isabella was already sitting on the bed. He excused himself and went to the washroom.

Emily knocked on the door and entered, she gave isabella the tray of fruits and left.

Rose was walking towards kitchen while Emily was walking in her own thoughts that she didn't realised when she stumbled on rose.

"Omg I am so sorry, I didn't saw you coming..."

She quickly apologized and rose nodded.

"You are still here, I thought you left with Olivia..."

Rose asked.

"Yeah, we were leaving but Olivia decided to stay here for a few more days as she is concerned about you and whatever is going on in the house..."
