Chapter 48. Rusty smell......

Later that night when Daniel came home he saw Isla sitting on the couch in the bedroom and reading a book while waiting for him.

"Danial, how was your day" she smiled to him as he came and sat with her on the couch and rested his head on the headrest tiredly and closed his eyes.

Isla was looking at him. She pitied him as he looked really very tired. "Shall I bring your dinner?" she asked in her mellow voice.

"I had dinner out with a business partner." He said as he layed his head down on her lap.

Isla started to caress his hair gently.

Danial was in seventh heaven. Her soft fingers massaging his head gave butterflies in his stomach. He started to feel light headed and sleepy.

" You are smelling little weird." Isla mumbled.

"Like what? "

"Like rust and blood. It's weird...." She had a big frown on her head.

"OH MY GOD..... AA..... ARE YOU INJURED SOMEWHERE? WHY ARE HERE SPOTS OF BLOOD ON YOUR COLLER?" Isla said frantically.

Meanwhile, Danial panicked.He didn't want to tell Isla about his other side of the world yet. He knew she would not be able to handle that side. He wanted her to grow up a little more to tell her about his connections with the underworld so that she would be able to handle this shocking information about him.

He quickly got up and removed the shirt and threw it in the laundry basket at the corner of the room. And got up to take shower. But then he turned around to look at worried Isla. She was literally freaking out.

"It's nothing. See.. I am not injured anywhere." He said while showing her his naked upper body.

Looking at his toned body. Isla became flustered. Due to tough training and running daily without any exception he had built toned muscles over his lean body. He was not any king of macho man who had abnormally large muscles. But his body looked proportionate. Lean with strong muscles. Isla was blushing hard. She forgot about the fact that she was freaking about blood stains on Daniel's shirt a moment ago.

Daniel had a smirk on his lips. He knew what affect he had on her. "Stop drooling baby girl." He said and went in the bathroom to take warm shower to clean himself.

Meanwhile in the couch, Isla came out of her stupor. She remembered about the smell and stain on his shirt. She had a little bad feeling about it. But she didn't want to think about it so she just decided to ignore her thoughts and decided to wait for Daniel to tell her himself about it if he wanted to.

She was still not sure about what place she had in his life. He told her that he was falling for her. But was she important to him? will he ever considered her worthy of sharing his worries, his life, his problems with her?

She was not sure about it. She was almost ten years younger then him. Sometimes he literally treated her like a kid. This was the reason she was not sure that if he would ever share his worries and his business with her.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom Danial let out a heavy sigh. He knew that someday she will come to know about his other side but prior to that he wanted to give some time to this relationship. He wanted to give her some time. He knew that it was already so tough for her to maintain the image of a pious lady in front of his relatives to give a better image of a worthy daughter in law of the Lee Family. He knew how tough it was for her to carry herself after coming from a humble background. If his other identity discloses to her right now, she would not be able to handle it all together. He wanted to disclose it slowly to her.

After coming out of the shower he came out wearing just his boxers while wiping his dripping hair with a towel.

Isla was blushing hard. 'Such a shameless man' she thought and looked into her book pretending to read again ignoring him. Daniel had a devil like smirk on his lips while he was watching her every action from the mirror in the dressing table. He went near the dressing table to blow dry his hair when they heard a knock in their room.

"let me open the door" Isla said. It was butler Henry.

"Young madam, Elder Lee is asking for young Master's presence in his study. " He said with a bow without looking at her face.

" OK.... I will tell him." Isla said.

Butler Henry left. Isla informed Danial.

"You sleep and don't wait for me. Tomorrow you will come with me to the office." He said and kissed her forehead and left for old man Lee's studyroom.

... . .... . ... ...

Jasper was lying on his bed in the Lee mansion. He was really missing Julie. But as she had an emergency in the hospital she had to go.

He was planning to propose her for marriage. As now after so many ups and downs their relationship came to this level, he really wanted to grab this opportunity and make her his forever.

Thinking about her and his future he had a silly smile formed on his lips and dreft into sleep.

......

" So he finally found the black sheep. I am impressed. But this is not the end. I will surely make their entire family suffer." there was an evil smirk on the man's face.
