Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 29

Ryan was squashed beneath the chair but he was strong enough to survive the crash without getting injured; he creaked before feeling someone helping him stand up. Jack held up the boy and started checking him for injuries, “Bro, are you okay. Are you hurt anywhere?”

The survivor stumbled on his feet; his head was dizzy because of the impact. It took him few seconds to stabilize himself and mumble, “Fine...” The two lads were so consumed in checking each other that the two didn’t notice a little frail figure in white gown reaching out to timidly pull the corner of Ryan’s shirt.

Feeling something disturbing him the boy dropped his eye down just to get himself stunned; it was a little girl much shorter than him. She had a round face with clear skin, her eyes were big and round with long curly eye lashes. A tiny nose and quivering pink lips like newly bloomed cherry blossom complimented her angelic face. Her hairs were long and were left loosely with nothing but two white clips holding back her bangs.

This was Ryan’s first time seeing such a small creature; he didn’t have a sister and was homeschooled since he was young and thus, he had never seen a girl with this close proximity. He stared stunned into her beautiful eyes which were pooling with tears which were about to pour down.

Ryan’s face had nothing but expressions of amusement and adoration; he had heard of angels but it was his first time seeing one. She was really cute that he didn’t want to take his eyes off this little creature.

Her quivering lips slowly parted to push out something snivelling, “D... did I hurt you?”

Ryan felt goosebumps rise all over his body hearing her voice; it was his first time listening to something his soothing and pure. Her childish voice resembled that of chirping, mellow and warm. Seeing that the boy whom she just hurt by accident wasn’t replying the young girl assumed that he was mad at her and was giving her a silent treatment.

“Big brother, I didn’t hurt you in purpose. I am good, I would never do that...” With a tone with was almost cracking at this point the little girl continued, “Please don’t hate me and complain to Daddy; he will snatch away my candies.”

Tears started to trickle down her eyes and it was the sound of her sobbing that slapped Ryan back to reality. “Oh God...” he freaked out before scanning the little girl; even her crying was as alluring as a rainbow. He looked at Jack only to find him staring back and forth at him and the mysterious little girl.

Ryan’s mind, which was crashed like anything all this time, finally started to act up. Jogging down his memories he managed to make a rough sketch that maybe it was this girl who was riding the chairs which crashed onto him.

The boy kneeled down to match her height; the girl had her head hanging pitifully out of guilt. He gently touched her chin and slowly lifted her head; Ryan had never touched anything this tender and soft, she was so fragile that he handled her with care lest he hurt her. The girl propped up with his efforts and stared directly into his eyes which were only few meters away. Her eyes were still raining down and Ryan couldn’t help but get his stone heart melt down. He smiled at her and said in a comforting tone, “It’s okay, I am not hurt.”

The girl stood there tugging on his t shirt and weeping and started to slow down after Ryan assured that he was neither angry nor hurt. Her lips curled up into a smile and even though her eyes were still pooled up she had stopped sobbing at this point. Ryan lived in a world where one couldn’t even trust the one who claim themselves the most trustworthy; all he was taught in life was to be alert, fierce and never let his guard down. This made him believe that world was everything but pure but today, after meeting this piece of Heaven, Ryan started to think otherwise- maybe there are still some good things left on Earth and this girl he held was one of them.
