Chapter Thirty-five : The successors
Maya's Pov
I definitely knew whom those eyes belongs to, mischevious burning amber eyes.
Izzy
I felt goosebumps all over,? what's her plans this ti with the cara? But no?matter how hard I thought , I couldn't co up with an adequate reason?so I beca uneasy.
"Nik" I called out but the guy didn't give his attention, instead he boldly slipped his hand into my shirt, lifted it up and started trailing feather kisses down my stomach
I beca exasperated when this guy continued his thrilling journey so I pushed against his chest - with no success
"Seriously Niklaus cut it out "I chided, emphasizing on his full na but he pretended not to hear my order and I had to resist the urge to moan cause it'll give him the liberty to continue his act further.
"Nik! "
"Hmmm?" he humd?absentmindedly . He didn't even give his ear to for a mont until I snapped .
I didn't know how my hands curled into fist nor when it moved, only I?saw my hands raise and next, I floored him with a suckerpunch which totally knocked him out.
I know I took self defense class in the past but I never thought my skills reliable and efficient until?now.
"Oof!" I let out air when his heavy body slumped on mine.Even during our passionate make out I never considered him heavy until? now.
I flipped him aside gasping with the effort but releasing a sigh of relief I was finally free. I slowly bent and placed my ear on his chest trying to make out his heartbeat incase I had unknowingly killed him.
His heartbeat was steady but just to make sure , I checked out his pulse which thankfully was ok too.
He was just having a little nap.
I dragged out a heavy breath but my gaze shifted back to the handso man sleeping innocently on my bed.
I leaned?further to discover dark circles around his eyes making frown, has he not being getting proper sleep the past few days?
Maybe knocking him out was a good thing after all?
I checked myself out on the mirror making sure to arrange?my ruffled clothes and tousled hair till I was good as new.
I had barely stepped into the living room before everyone threw questionable gazes on well save Izzy, who knew what happened already?and Eden who was nowhere to be found
"What? " I blurted out when the inquisitive gaze beca too much
"What have you being doing upstairs?" Emily asked suspiciously, her gaze nearly burning .
"A-attending to your bossy brother whom by the way is sleeping on my bed?for the record "
I responded without thinking and with a frown, noticed how ambiguous my words sounded.
"Really? " She asked, her eyes lit up with surprise "How did you get him to sleep, Nik is very cautious on where he places his head on ..... " Emily?trailed off as her sight landed on my neck and she let out a confusing? "oh? "
I was surprised at her change in deanor until a bell rang in my head and I realised everything at once.
Hickeys
I facepalm ntally,?Nik you bastard !
I blushed scarlet red embarrassed to the core, it wasn't enough Izzy caught us in the act now he purposely put?hickeys on my neck to advertise to everyone we were doing adult stuffs in my bedroom
"Where's Eden " I suddenly asked trying to divert her attention and saving myself from this embarrassing situation .
"Ah!" She exclaid as if rembering sothing important "Sothing ca up at work so he had to Leave"
I nodded in acknowledgent admiring his passionate?and hardworking nature,?unlike a certain person who claims to be busy but in reality was lazing around on my bed.
Thankfully Emily had a one track mind, soon enough she forgot all about Nik nor did she notice I had purposely diverted her attention.
"Breakfast is ready" Emily announced snapping out of my thoughts
I turned to her saying softly "I'll?help set up the table "
"No " She replied startling
"Excuse ? "
"We've imposed on you a lot , so we'll handle this little chore all by ourselves "
"Count out " Izzy made her stand clear the mont Emily made her intentions known.
"I'll?help out " The ever-cheerful Annabelle announced waving her hands excitedly .
Though Emily is soft and kind but she's quite sturrborn once she makes up her mind so I had no choice than to give in.
"Fine, its?not like I can stop you both anyway "I stated knowing Emily and Annabelle in cahoots was like a goat and a pig in collaboration , both weren't the strongest in the animal kingdom but were extrely tough to deal with.
While Annabelle leaped excitedly to go help Emily, I walked gloomily towards Izzy.
"What are you up-to this ti? "
"As if I've ever told you my intentions "She retorted, not even passing a glance as she glued her eyes to the screen of her phone watching a sci-fi movie.
I furrowed my brow scrutinizing this little girl in front of , I've always had this disturbing?feeling that this girl could read my intentions as absurd as it might sound
"Are?you a sadist ?"I asked untentionally, I had ant to ask that ntally but I didn't when it slipped right out from my mouth.
Izzy froze, then she stiffly paused the video and turned to face with an apathetic gaze "Excuse ? "
For so unknown reasons, I felt chills all over to the extent I didn't carelessly let out a breath
"Y-yo seem to take pleasure from my misery " I stuttered
She let out a cold smile that didn't quite reach her eyes and murmured? " Trust if I was a sadist, then your misery hasn't started "
Suddenly like a bipolar patient, she let out a vibrant smile that was capable of shaming even the sun. How could soone blow hot and cold at sa ti?
But then she assured
"Don't worry,?as my future mother I'll?hold on to the picture as a reminisce of your romantic days with Mr Nik "
Even though that?was supposed to be viewed as a complint but instead I was scared to the bones. I couldn't help but notice? one thing?about this little girl - ?She's?full of darkness.
He knew also of her darkness,? he knew of the inexplicable extent of her abilities , he knew quite well she would be crueler than her father.
An unknown fear ca upon as I ca to a startling realization.This was why Nik wanted? near her, he sees as her saviour,?as the sunshine that will light up the darkness inside of her .
I chuckled?inwardly , Adam?was quite a good mastermind. Even though the Spencer's have a good public image but it wasn't quite difficult to guess their?affiliation with the underworld. There was no way one would be able to create such a huge conglorate without soiling his hands in one illegal activity or the other.
To have survived so far, a lot of skeletons was obviously being kept in their wardrobe which is why, a person with a?"lion heart" can only be the leader of the?family and judging?from the scene unfolding , the next successor after Nik's reign was obviously Izzy.
Eventhough Nik has being kind to so far but I knew beneath that facade is a cold being willing to clear every hindrance on his way to his achievents.
But I obviously could tell,?if Nik was a born? leader?then Izzy obviously?was a born?dictator and that's what Adam?wants, a dictator not a leader.
So how in the world am I going to change this domineering darkness into light without ending up as the collateral damage?
"Breakfast is set, everyone to the dining " Emily announced and I murmured a thank-you ntally to her.
She just saved from going crazy from?my absurd thoughts.
I didn't know how I found myself on the?dinning table nor how the al went?but I expressed relief when Emily?announced she was leaving with the kids.
"Papa wants?to see them " Emily said and I saw a blinding gleam in Izzy's eyes causing to frown .
Even though Mr Adams might poise as a man way past his pri but I know he wasn't that simple,?the man even though aged a bit still wields much power behind the scenes and the fact he has his eyes set on Izzy ans there? might be a power struggle in the future between Izzy and her dad when she cos of age .
From?the adoring glint in her eyes, I could tell Izzy loves and worships her grandpa?so separating them would definitely be a bad idea at the mont
To prove that,?Izzy didn't wait for Emily to finish her statent, she had already walked out the door anticipatedly without even a thank-you to the host who?housed?her for the night?or to her so thought future mother.
"Don't mind her manners, Izzy loves papa so much. The both are inseparable " Emily? explained while I gave out a dry smile
"I can see why "
" So"
"So? " I asked back not understanding the expectant look on her face
"I would? love for you to join us the next day we'll visit my papa,?he talks about you quite a lot and I'm? sure?he will love?to see you again?"
A nervous smile made itself known on my face as I replied
"I'm?sure?he'll?would "
