Chapter 159 - One Hundred And Fifty-nine: Awoke The Demoness
Maya's point of view
"This must look funny to you," Adam said after the surprise wore off.
But this ti, all smiles were gone from his features which had hardened into sothing anger could only produce.
Without warning, I was pushed back against the headboard, he clutched my hair so tight it hurt while his other hand pressed onto my side, the place where I was operated on.
My face turned pale from the pain but I refused to cry out, I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing weak.
Ergency sweat beaded forehead but I bit down on my lower lips to stop the whimpers from escaping my mouth - I would not let him win this fight.
"I've spent so much on Niklaus to let him beco a liability to , now. Who are you to disrupt my plans for him? You're not rich, powerful, or even from a respectable background; you're nothing but an illegitimate child!" He slamd .
Anger made my body shook, I stared back intensely into his eyes with hatred with my fists clenched by my side on the bed.
I could take people speaking badly of but being reminded I was an illegitimate child over and over again was my limit.
Not minding the agonizing pain from my stomach, I violently grabbed hold of his shirt and pulled him closer with no regard.
"So what, aren't illegitimate children humans?" I spat
My voice was a bit hoarse, the pain was much but the bitterness in my heart overwheld it.
His eyes went wide from shock, clearly, he never anticipated that bold move from . As I said earlier, I respected elders but not those who took my politeness as a weakness.
"You're just as I expected, disrespectful!" He berated , his face full of disgust.
"What were you expecting? Didn't you say it yourself? I'm an illegitimate child, an identity worse than an animal " My throat was clogged with tears but I refused to let it flow, I would not buckle.
He pressed further on my stomach causing to wince and my grab on his collar to loosen, the pain was killing .
"Children nowadays have no respect for elders," He said while pressing down on my left side.
This ti I couldn't hold it anymore, my hands slipped from his collar and went to his hand and tried to move it away but couldn't, though his grip slackened.
"Choose your battle wisely" He advised without taking his eyes off my face that had already betrayed by exposing the agony I was going through.
"Do I remind you what to do?"
I didn't answer.
The rippling pain from my scalp drew a reply from my mouth, "No"
"No, what?"
Tears slipped from my eyes, "No sir, Adam"
"Good" He released my hair and slapped my cheeks gently in a derogatory manner.
My scalp stung, it felt like soone shaved my hair with a razor and my flesh ca off with it. The throbbing headache and the nauseous sensation didn't do justice either.
"In your next life, reincarnate as soone powerful and hope we never cross paths," He told before standing to his feet.
"I'm going to beco powerful, " I declared, my eyes renewed with determination.
He turned around, gave an odd look, and snorted, "Sure, I can't wait for you to co up to my level" Adam said, but there was a hint of mockery in his voice.
"And then on that day, I'll have your head on a platter"
"Ooh, I'm so scared" he feigned he was frightened by my threats.
He retraced back his step and told grimly, "You should be grateful I haven't wiped you out of the surface of the earth yet "
He probably wanted to fall to the ground and worship his ass, in his next life.
"Fine, end but you should know this, nothing is holding back; no family or loved one, I have nothing but my life so do your worse"
"You never listen, do you " He ca towards again with evil intent but a knock ca on the door.
He stopped whatever he had planned in mind while I dried the tears in my eyes, tidied my disheveled hair, and resud my usual aura.
Adam passed a final look but it was chilly and filled with a warning, he doesn't want telling on whatever that happened here.
That old man then went ahead to answer the door. But the surprising fact was that he stood still for like thirty seconds before moving out of the room and exposing the visitors to my view - Niklaus and Tina
No wonder Adam was startled.
Today was clearly f*cked, I just kept seeing people I didn't want to see. Just an attack and the whole of them ca to check on ? I never knew I was this loved - note the sarcasm.
Niklaus was certainly unsettled by the ergence of my father from my room and that was further proven when he left, walking towards the direction his father did.
Tina and I were now left alone, what a company.
She pranced over to and sat in that sa seat Adam was on minutes ago.
Why couldn't they just occupy the couch at the edge of the room, do they like being in close proximity with that much?
"You look well " Her eyes peered over through her long artificial catlike lashes and scrutinized thoroughly.
I smirked, "Why? You thought I died? Sorry to disappoint your expectations but I'm one tough cockroach to kill "
She crossed her leg over the other, exposing her healthy and firm thighs.
Today Tina was donning a faux leather dress that stopped at her midthigh with a belt around her waist. Her hair was brushed and gelled back till no strand was left out of place. She wore dangling earrings and painted her lips yellow today which made her look like soone who ca out of a photo shoot.
"I'm not going to lie, I wished for it but then wishes are not horses," she said.
Laughter gurgled from my throat," You're wrong, this just ans God doesn't bother with your prayers"
Tina's face changed but she was quick to cover it up with her fake smile, "Oh don't worry, I don't need to bother God anymore cause I have already gotten what I wanted from him - Niklaus "
She looked smug when she said and it irritated , I still haven't forgotten what she did at that party. If she had intercepted our plans, everything would have gone fine.
"Unlike soone who fell on her knees to beg for him, mine ca too easily " I countered her attack.
"And because it ca too easily, you lost him quickly"
Our eyes t, none of us was giving up on this squabble until one erged a winner.
"No, I didn't lose him " I clarified, "A thief stole him away from "
Her lips tugged to the side, "That thief must be so smart after all, all is fair in love and war "
I sighed, "I thought of it too and decided to let go of him"
Her face brightened, "You've given on Niklaus?"
"I got bored of him and decided to discard him, used toys are suitable for the likes of you " Ca my insult.
"Y-you !" She choked and raised her hand to hit but I challenged her.
"Do you really dare to hit ? of all people? Seems you've forgotten our previous encounters" I jolted her mory.
Tina gulped, paling instantly with her hand falling to her side.
Victory belongs to .
"Sure, you are free to hit but don't forget I'm a patient and what would happen if I press? that intercom." I said shalessly."I'm sure you won't mind compensating for damages in the courtroom "
She gritted her teeth, "You can have the best laugh at the mont but I promise you, Maya, I'll wipe you out of the surface of this earth sooner or later"
I scratched the side of my face, amused."Sure, get in line"
Seriously, all of them wanted dead, what did I even do so wrong? Love soone I wasn' supposed to?
"I promise you that" Tina decreed.
I yawned, this was getting too boring and predictable but I was getting started.
Adam awoke sothing in today - the taste for blood. They look down on because of my ssy background and now my mission now was to beco powerful and conquer the Spencer's which could only be achieved by becoming one of them - by marriage.
Niklaus was no longer in the market and even if he was, I wouldn't pick him. My battle is with his father, so it was expected he would do everything to stop , unlike Eden.
Adam was only Eden's uncle so he wouldn't give much shit about him. I could use Eden to achieve what I currently wanted - by getting married to him.
And once I was in the family, I would do? everything in my power to destroy that man called Adam - I would make sure he watches with both eyes as I put him through the torture he put .
He awoke a demoness.
