Chapter Twenty - Four : I Give You The Permission To Sleep With That Man .
Maya's Pov
I cleared the fog on the mirror caused by the steam from the hot shower, staring at my reflection and taking prominent note of the hickies surrounding my neck down my shoulder. This guy's a beast.
It's not enough that?the heat was so much this ti of the year?but I'll?have to wear turtle neck sleeves to keep this from sight. I groaned, banged?my head against the wall and winced from the pain.
I clutched my fist, I can't and won't take this.I have to pay him back, why should I be the one suffering alone???But what can I do?
"Urgh" I groaned turning off the shower and putting on my robe. I walked out of the shower, trying to co up with a sche to get back at him.
I scread out my lungs when I saw a certain figure sitting on my bed with a glare ant to decapitate a certain individual nad '' at sight.
I stared at Izzy flabbergasted, why was she giving her killer look usually preserved specifically for her Dad. I took a deep breath trying to calm my pounding heart.
"Why are you here? " I asked trying to reduce the tension hanging around this awkward silence.
"Why were you with him? " she retorted stunning? at once. She knew I was with him?
"Him? "
"Don't give that look, you know by now who am talking about?" Izzy said coldly, not taking her curious ?eyes off .
Amazed, ?I asked her "H-how did you know? "
For?a short while, the glare disappeared as a sardonic?smirk curved her lips "You just told " Ca her reply. I ntally smacked my forehead, she just tricked .
"I know what you're thinking but we really didn't do anything "I tried defending but her?glare forced the truth out of my mouth voluntarily. "Aside from making out" I added
"But I'm really innocent here, he's the one who forced " I defended trying to salvage?what's left?of my innocent reputation
" Then you should sue him"
"Huh? " Confusion muddled my brain, what did?she an?
"Don't you know? That's called sexual harassnt"
"????"
I clutched my temple, knowing discussing this further with her would only leave at a loss. ?"Fine, what do you want from ? "
"Nothing? " I scoffed "Your mouth says?a word but you definitely act contrarily "
"I just love seeing the expression on your face, already you don't fake yours unlike his other won , moreover there's this vein in your head that threatens to pop out whenever you're angry "
"...."
I almost spat blood, how did this girl??know too much. She's definitely not human. Not only does she have a high IQ but a high and good EQ assessnt.
"Your point? " I groaned
"I was just ssing around with you. Also, I give you the permission to sleep with that man cause I need a sibling pretty soon. This one woman revenge is getting pretty tiring lately ?, I need a helping hand "
I froze not believing the words coming out of her mouth. My cheeks began to burn as I recalled the contents of her words. Disbelief displayed on my face, wasn't she an innocent ten year old, how could she be ?this enlightened and shaless? what's this world turning into?
As if she read my mind, She said
"Don't worry , I can be more shaless than that man when the occasion calls for it . Co down for supper " and that being said , she left banging my door shut.
I stood montarily shocked to the core, what the hell was going on? I gulped but it?didn't seem to ease the dryness in my throat nor did the churning effect in my stomach stop. I knew that man she was referring to was her father, both father and daughter were competing for shalessness .
I dressed up wearing a simple yellow turtle neck?woolly?gown with my hair falling around my shoulder .
I didn't co down imdiately, I lingered around for a while . I didn't know why I was hesitating but I had a bad feeling about tonight, both father and daughter were schers and I'm caught in the middle of it. who knows what they have in store for for the night?
When it was evident I couldn't stay any longer judging from the number of knocks on my door by the maids urging and in so cases commanding to get my ass downstairs courtesy of Nik.
The way I was being treated here, one would mistake for a newly Wed instead of a nanny.
I took a deep breath, tucking?my feelings quite well before heading??downstairs only to have all?eyes on . All eyes including Eden?and Emily. They were here? I glanced at Nik and understood why he was forcing down here.
Father and daughter pinned with a look, the way they were staring at seed like I was a prize to be won and glared at others as if they were their competitors .What the hell was wrong with both?
Eden stood from his seat heading towards as I held my breath. I could feel father and daughter's murderous aura, they would kill soone pretty soon.
"You're pretty as always" Eden took my hand and placed a peck on the back of my palm. At that?sa ti, Nik's eyes bore into mine and I choked, getting myself into a coughing fit.
Eden stood perplexed as my coughs intensified "You okay? "
I nodded unable to reply at the mont, next I knew soone brought a glass of water to my lips. I hurriedly gulped the whole content down and didn't notice anything weird happening. Unknown to , positions were changed as Izzy said to her uncle
"Don't worry, I'll take it from here"
Eden was taken aback by her overprotective attitude. The way she was behaving, one would think she was taking care of her boyfriend.
I felt a hand smooth over my back and soon enough, the fit ended. I stood shocked to the marrow to discover Izzy was the one taking care of all this ti while Eden looked disgruntled as if a golden opportunity was snatched from him.
Nik smiled , a look of admiration in his eyes at his daughter's quick wit as if to say, indeed you're my blood while Emily stared horrified at the scene.?What the fuck, She'll probably say.
Because the welco ceremony?was short-lived by the *cough* , I just said a simple welco to Emily though I ended up sitting beside her with Nik?at the other side while?Izzy and Eden sat across .
The maids quietly served the als as an awkward silence fell upon us but Emily the chatty?ca to the rescue.
"So, how has?your stay here being? "
I swallowed. *cough *cough* Aside from the constant sexual harassnt as called by your niece from your brother and the constant heart attack from your niece, it's been okay. ?I answered ntally
"Great" I answered with a forced smile but I caught the way she threw??an accusing stare at?Nik??and knew she already figured what was happening. She definitely knew her brother well.
"Has Izzy being giving you any trouble? "
"Isabella "Nik corrected.
"I don't give a damn fuck " Emily retorted and Nik?shut his mouth firmly . Emily was the only person so far that I've seen with the ability to ta Nik.
"Of course not"I laughed "She's been a good girl " I answered with a smile bright enough to blind even the sun but Emily once again passed an accusing stare at Izzy.
It seems whatever I said ant the opposite to her, I was amazed. She knew the father and daughter duo perfectly well.
"Then I must have worried for nothing " She murmured relieved but when our eyes t, they were communicating another to?,
' Keep on lying and soon enough, you won't be able to distinguish your lie from the truth '
"So what happened to your cellphone, I've being calling but you haven't been picking up ?" Eden said saving from Emily's soul boring stares but leaving confused at the sa ti
"What? "
By my side, I felt Nik?stiffen but I didn't put much thought to the?sudden change in his deanor as I focused on my attention on Eden.
"I definitely didn't receive any of your calls " I stood my ground knowing a clear heart feareth no accusation.
"Then take a look at this " Eden said producing a cellphone out of his pocket and handling it over to .I took his phone and went to his call log and my eyes bulged from its socket.
A hundred plus unanswered call?!!
Horror recoiled through "This is impossible" I murmured and produced my own phone handling over to Eden as he went through it leaving everyone confused and startled at our drama.
"This is impossible " Eden murmured as shocked as I was "Unless soone purposely intercepted the ca... " Eden trailed off but his point was already made. I followed the direction of his eyes and it rested on Nik,?suddenly?it all clicked into place.
The only person capable and with such power to do such a thing was Nik?Spencer .I always wondered, kept thinking why Eden never called.
The way he?hit on ?that fateful?day we t, told he wasn't going to give up on that easily and it turned out right , just that a certain person was working behind the scene all that ti.
I stared at Nik, he ate his al calm and collected not even bothered by the accusing stare I was giving him. I laughed in disbelief, this man was a total jerk. I stood abruptly and faced him " Let's talk"
He cast a lazy gaze on saying ?"Its rude to interrupt a al, can't you have a little patience? "
"I'll be waiting for you outside then " I?spat??"Enjoy your al as much as you want " and left waiting for whenever the asshole was going to show up. I clutched my fist, seething anger surging through my veins .
Not long he appeared , not even a slight remorse on his face, there was no way this guy's?human. There was no sign of nervousness nor apprehension and I'm sure as hell he wasn't sorry for anything .
"Why did you do it? "I questioned staring him in the eyes. My heart hamred against my chest, my blood was boiling hot.
"Do I have to answer for every action I carry out? " I stared in disbelief. I chuckled contemptuously at my pathetic self, was I that blinded by lust that I didn't see this cruel side of him.
"Really? " I scoffed ?"I'm definitely stupid, it was totally a bad idea coming here and I just realized it now "
"So what are you going to do? Quit? co-on honey, we've being there before "
"Oh, I know"I answered "That's why this ti, there's no turning back" I said preparing to leave but he held my arm drawing back.
"Eden was never going to be a good ?influence, he was going to use you?against ? so I?got rid of him for you, shouldn't you be grateful? " He gritted, griping my arm a little too tight for my liking
"Grateful? 'I snorted "Even if he was, it was never your call to make, it was my fucking business to deal?with! But You co out of nowhere and make?a complete fool out of , without asking for my opinion and say it was the best for !!!!! " I yelled "You?know what? I Fucking want you out of my life,?you're so authoritative, arrogant, cold and domineering and I don't think I can take take any of that bullshit anymore!! "
"What about the contract? " Nik?growled?, his voice a?pitch?away from loosing his control ?"You know the consequences " he breathed, a warning tone in his voice but I wasn't going to be threatened by that anymore
I gave him a cold smile that sent goosebumps down his arms "Don't worry" I said as I ground my teeth in fury ?"As I said before,?even if it ans selling my body I'll pay you back"
That said, I flung his hand away ?and turned to leave but his hand grabbed mine again ?as he roared "You're not going any...! "
A sharp?crack was heard as my?hand??landed on his left cheek " Don't you dare touch ! " I roared and left , leaving him montarily stunned.
Since he got rid of my things?there wasn't much to pack so I?was done in the blink of an eye.
Downstairs, Emily and Eden stared at shocked to the marrow while Izzy simply glared and left for her room and banged the door so hard that the force of it reverberated through the whole house.
"I'm sorry but I don't think I can do this anymore " I apologized and left before any of them??could protest or convince back.
Outside Nik stood?watching as I flung my bag?over my shoulder .Even in the dark I could make?out the red imprint on his left cheek. Did I do it too hard? ?I wanted to ask but I couldn't let myself, delay was dangerous. So without looking back nor muttering a goodbye, I left. Away from the house, away from him until everything beca a dark past.
