Chapter Two : I'll Drag Them Straight To Hell.
Maya's Pov
With my chin raised in a show of defiance, I glared at him " No apology after hitting ?" I asked boldly, trying hard to show how pissed off I was but this man didn't budge at all
"Correction," he said sternly " I didn't hit you, my driver almost did. So now, get in the car " He commanded gesturing towards the car but I stood my ground.
God damn him, so much nerve.
"I've told you I'm fine, no need taking to the hospital !" I snapped distressed by his nagging.
There was no injury on , why wouldn't he just accept that, though I? suspected he didn't take no for an answer. Well, his bad.
"No sweetheart " he drawled " I need a confirmation you won't co bothering and blackmailing with fake injuries sooner or later"
"Why would I do that? I don't even know you" I? questioned before sothing clicked in my head.
I stared up at him, not minding his icy eyes boring into mine and asked softly "Were you deceived your whole life?"
I swore I saw a strange emotion flicker in his eyes but it was gone as soon as it ca leaving wondering if this man's wall was penetrable. He hid his emotions perfectly well, inwardly I gave him thumbs up for that unlike whose emotions always got the best of.
"Still doesn't stop the fact we're paying a special visit to the hospital" he stood his ground earning a groan from . I had already planned to have a full-ti argunt with him before I went pale and gasped "Oh no"
The sudden change of my mood seed to have caught? his attention cause he asked " what's wrong?"
I couldn't decipher if he really cared or rather was faking it in an attempt to please and lure to a hospital. Though his face wasn't showing concern, his voice seems to say it all, which should I trust?
"I'm late for my boyfriend's birthday celebration " I revealed, realizing there was no use hiding it from him since he'll force the truth out of my mouth eventually with his cold stares and glares.
Moreover, exposing that gave a new form of confidence: he'll be cautious handling soone's girlfriend since he won't want his, being treated the sa way but I was totally wrong, his attitude was crap.
"So?" He questioned.
"So?" I shot back while flinging my hands in utter dismay "You're the reason I'm this late and trust "I breathed fire "You're gonna have to take responsibility "
A short silence fell on us as we diated deeply, keeping our thoughts to ourselves but his careful eyes didn't leave even for a sec.
There was just sothing that didn't add up with him, he definitely had a problem with trust. It was boldly written over his face and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"So what do you want to do?" He asked, staring at in a way that sent chills down my body.
I looked away not liking the effect his gaze was having on , it definitely didn't feel right especially when he stares at you like you're sothing to eat
"For a start, just drive to the hotel," I said but the look on his face caught my attention.
Oh no.
"My boyfriend works there. I intend to give him a surprise birthday visit" I said grinning sheepishly and slapping every perv thought off my mind
"What's in for ?" he asked destroying my expectation of him doing a few charitable favors for once without demanding for reward
"Seriously? Can't you help those in need?" I batted my eyelids and pouted my lips a bit, giving off that sympathetic expression.
"Darling, it's give and take," he answered coldly as I sighed in disappointnt.
Getting a taxi by this ti of the night was going to prove hard plus Mr cold and heartless wouldn't let go until he has evidence I won't co threatening him with fake injuries.
Like he's so celebrity, I snorted.
"Fine" I gave up at last "I'll write a statent stating? I'm hale and hearty which you can use against in the court of law. So, how does that sound?" I said confidently, throwing the ball in his court. It's all up to him now
A spasmodic frown made its presence known on his features as he murmured a few incomprehensible words before giving an answer
"Fine," he agreed, giving a smile that didn't reach his cheek and thrust his hand forward for a handshake "Deal?"
I stared at his outstretched hand wondering if it was wise striking a deal with Mr danger. Knowing I wasn't a chicken, I enveloped his big calloused hand in a handshake
"Deal then," I said, giving him a heartwarming smile which didn't go halfway warming his frozen heart.
I couldn't help admiring his long lean fingers decorated with exquisite and obviously expensive rings. He was obviously rich, no wonder he needed evidence from cause blackmailing usually ans loss of money and he doesn't intend to lose any.
Wow, a good economist.
I would've explored further if electricity hadn't zinged through my body and? I withdrew my hand at once.
He stared at awkwardly and I wondered if he felt that too. If he surely felt that, he was absolutely good at hiding it cause he resud his normal cold expression.
"What are you still waiting for?" He asked "Get into the car "
I walked towards his car and thankfully he opened the car door for . Well, he still rembers what being a gentleman is
"Thank you?" I more like questions but either way, he didn't reply.
Lesson learned Maya, keep your thanks to yourself.
He sat beside and his chauffeur drove to the hotel. We sat in silence, more than a few minutes passed with no one willing to start a conversation until I decided enough was enough
"So, what do you do for a living?" I started, trying to indulge in whatever sparks his interest but his response wasn't encouraging at all
" None of your business" he shot at with no ounce of emotion in his voice
The second lesson learned, no conversation with him
Left with no other choice, I started humming a song to myself and noticed his grim face and clenched fist
"God damn you" he sworn loudly at out of nowhere
"And damn you too" I retorted deciding enough was enough.
What the hell was wrong with him?
Can't he recognize and acknowledge my right to speech? I was so angry I cast a six hundred thousand wattage glare at him - if that was possible.
I knew at once if we didn't tear each other apart before reaching our destination, then, there was no way we would avoid a crash, and trust when I say there won't be a survivor. Not even his chauffeur cause I'll drag them straight to hell
