Chapter 1 : First Meet
" We want girls from your Orphanage. We will sell them abroad. You will get your share", A man said to the Orphanage's owner, Jordan. Some other men were also present there. They were looking like goons.
" I am ready but I need 50% share", Jordan said to them.
" Okay!! But we need some girls tonight. They should age from 9-17 years old.", The man said.
" No problem!! I will arrange them", Jordan said.
" Deal!!", Both men said while shaking hands.
Without their notice, a girl around 10 years old was hearing their talks. She was shivering after knowing their intention towards the children. She calmed herself and went from there silently.
She hurriedly entered a small room where 4-5 beds were placed. Children were sleeping on them silently.
" Isla, Everything will be fine", the girl mumbled to herself.
" I need to help everyone. I can't let them sell us. But first I need to leave. I have to run away", Isla thought.
She hurriedly packed her bag. She sneaked out of her room. She was about to cross the Orphanage main door when…
" Hey!! Where are you going??"One of the goons shouted from afar.
Isla panicked and ran away from there. She can hear someone running behind her.
She hid inside a large drum.
" We need to catch that bitch", one of the goons said. His voice was strong. He was near the drum.
Isla put her hand on her mouth to keep quiet.
They tried to find her for ten minutes.
" Let's go forward", one of the goons said.
She waited for fifteen minutes before leaving her hidden place. She ran in the opposite direction from the goons. She didn't know where to go.
She was crossing the room when she heard a sound. A car was running towards her with speed. She screamed, closing her eyes.
The car stopped before it could collide with her. She feels her knees weaken and fall on the road due to fear and tiredness.
" Are you okay??", She heard a manly voice.
She raised her head and saw him. A handsome man of around 23 years old was standing in front of her.
" Please help me…. please…", Isla requested him, joining her hands.
" Hey….hey….relax…", He said, making her stand.
" Tell me where is your home?? I will take you there", He said to her.
" I don't have any home. I am Orphan", she said, feeling dizzy. She fell unconscious in his arms.
"Hey…. Are you okay??", He tried waking her but she didn't respond.
"Fuck!!", He mumbled, carrying her in his arms.
He made her lie in his car's backseat. He started his car and moved towards his home.
After some time, he stopped his car in front of a Mansion. He brings the girl inside the mansion.
" Aaron!! What happened?? Who is she??", A man asked Aaron. A lady along with a little girl comes close to them.
" I found her on the road, Justin", Aaron replied.
" Took her to the guest room. I will call the doctor", the lady said.
" Thanks, Stella!!", Aaron said and took Isla to the guest room.
" Who is she, Mom?", The child asked her mother, Stella.
" We don't know, Baby", Stella said to her daughter while calling the Doctor.
The doctor arrived within fifteen minutes.
Both Stella and Justin move towards the guest room along with the Doctor.
" No need to worry. She has lost her senses due to stress and fear. I gave her an injection. She will wake up in two hours.", Doctor said, after examining her.
" Thank you, Doctor", Justin said to the Doctor.
The doctor nodded his head and went from there.
" How did you meet her?? ", Justin asked his brother, Aaron.
" I was coming home when suddenly someone came in front of my car. My car was about to collide with her. Thank God, I applied the brake on time", Aaron answered Justin.
" She said she needed help. I asked about her family. She said she is an orphan. Before I can ask something else, she becomes unconscious. So, I took her here", Aaron replied.
" We don't know in which problem she was entrapped. We need to help her. She is so small. She is almost the same age as Avery", Stella said to her husband, Justin.
Two hours later,
Isla opened her eyes. She remembered her encounter with a stranger before she collapsed. She panicked, noticing the unknown room. She was about to get up from bed when two strangers entered the room.
" How are you feeling?"Stella asked her.
Isla didn't say anything. She was looking at them with fear.
Isla relaxed a little seeing Aaron entering the room. Isla had recognised Aaron as Her Saviour.
" You should ask her?? She is comfortable around you", Justin whispered to Aaron.
Aaron nodded his head and moved close to Isla.
" Hello!! I'm Aaron Miller. He is my brother Justin Miller and She is my Sister-in-law Stella Miller", Aaron said introducing them.
Isla looked towards Stella who smiled at her. Isla didn't say anything and lowered her eyes.
" What is your name?", Aaron asked her softly.
She didn't say anything for a minute before whispering," Isla."
" Isla!! Can you tell us something about you??", Aaron asked.
" Please don't be afraid of us. We just want to help you. I have a daughter of your age. For me, you are like my daughter", Stella said, holding her hand.
Listening to her, Isla hugged her tightly while crying.
" Shh…. Don't cry", Stella said, rubbing her back.
" They want….. to sell us so I…. ran away from there", Isla said, crying.
" Please don't cry, Isla!!. Tell us everything from the start", Aaron said.
Isla whipped her tears while trying to calm herself.
" I was three years old when Angel Orphanage's caretaker, Aunt Molly, found me and took me to the Orphanage. I have lived in an Orphanage till now. Two months ago, Aunt Molly died and his brother, Jordan, became our Orphanage's new caretaker.
Tonight I heard him talking with another man. They were talking about selling girls abroad. I wanted to help other girls so I ran away to ask for help.
One of their goons saw me running and they started following me. I was running from them when I was about to collide with the car", Isla explained everything, sobbing.
" Oh God!!", Stella said, hugging her.
" Don't worry. We will help you. Do you want to file a complaint against them in the police station? ", Justin asked.
Isla nodded her head.
" Tell me your Orphanage name?? I am a lawyer so I will help you in filing a complaint against them ", Aaron said.
Isla looks at him with hopeful eyes.
" You will?"Isla asked with hopeful eyes.
" Yes!! Now tell me??" Aaron asked.
" Angel Orphanage", Isla answered.
" Don't be afraid. You are not alone, we are with you!!", Stella said, giving her an encouraging smile.
Someone knocked on the door before opening it.
" Mom!!"Avery, Stella's daughter, said.
" Avery, come here!!", Stella said to her daughter.
Avery came close to her mother.
" She is Isla, your new friend", Stella said, introducing her.
" She is my daughter, Avery!! You will become her friend, right?", Stella said. Isla didn't say anything.
" Friends?", Avery said, giving her hand to shake.
Isla shakes her hand hesitantly.
" Avery, Isla you both play here in the room. I will send your dinner upstairs.", Stella said.
" Okay, Mom!!", Avery replied.
" If you need anything tell Avery or me", Stella said, putting her hand on Isla's head while smiling.
Leaving both girls inside the room, three of them went downstairs to talk.
" She has to bear so much in a small age", Stella said, with moist eyes.
" This world is very cruel. They don't let innocent people live in a society", Aaron said, sighing.
" Firstly We need to think about what our next step should be.", Justin said to them.
" I am going to file a complaint against them on behalf of Isla. I need to prepare the documents. Hopefully, they will be behind the bars soon", Aaron said, while dialling a number.
" Patrick!! Meet me in the office", Aaron said to his assistant.
Two days later,
Two days have passed since Isla had met Aaron and his family. Avery has become her good friend. Isla has not seen Aaron after that night.
Avery and Isla were playing in the living room while Stella and Justin were busy talking with each other.
Feeling something, Isla looked towards the door. At the same time, Aaron entered the house.
" Aaron!!"Justin called him.
Aaron went towards them. He sat beside Justin.
" Isla comes here", Aaron said to Isla.
Isla hesitantly moves forward and stands in front of him.
" I want to tell you something", Aaron said.
Isla stood silently in front of him.
" Police had caught Jordan and his other partners. They are behind the bars now. Even they have confessed their crime in front of the court. Soon the court will punish them.", Aaron announced.
" Thank God!! ", Stella said, side hugging Isla who was feeling shocked as well as happy.
" What about Orphanage, Aaron??", Justin asked.
" Soon a new caretaker will be appointed for the Orphanage", Aaron said.
" Thank you", Isla said to Aaron, smiling. Her eyes were sparkling showing her happiness.
Aaron nodded his head smiling at her.
" Thank you!! My Saviour", Isla said in her mind.
