Chapter 22: IHM-XXII

ELISA SMITH

"Dad why would eat her face?" Leandro rushed toward us with Tessa as he forcefully pushed Nikolai away making him fall and he didn't stop there he kicked Nikolai in the shin.

"Elisa are you okay? Did daddy hurt you?" Tessa asked with concern laced in her voice and I couldn't help but do summersaults in my head.

"Yeah I am and no he didn't hurt me. Leandro quit it. He was helping me with something" I said.

"On your face?" I swear this kid is a grown up stuck in a kid's body.

"Yeah, I am not hurt don't worry. Daddy won't hurt me" I said as they looked at me with a weird expression as Nikolai had a small smirk playing on his lips.

Shoot! I said Daddy.

"He's not your Daddy so you can't call him that. He is your beast so call him Beast" Tessa said as Nikolai's expression changed to something else.

He is probably wondering what the beast thing meant.

"Beast?" Nikolai asked still sitting on the floor.
