Chapter 99 - Ninety-nine : Pay With Your Life
Maya's POV
Everyone's gaze was on and I've never felt so pressured in my entire life than now.
I thought of what to do, Option one : Laugh awkwardly, open the door and head back to wherever I ca from.
But then there were still people outside that door and the ones staring at right now - it would definitely look suspicious if I left right away.
Option two : Faint dramatically, that would save from looking into their eyes and a high chance of escaping if I was taken to the hospital.
Who am I kidding? That only happens in movies and besides, all of them look like thugs or criminals, why would they take to a hospital? Burying would be a better option.
Option three : Put my taekwondo skills into use . You know Bruce Lee,
Jackie Chan, Jet Li styles - ring a bell?
Sigh, who am I kidding here? Fight against forty n or so ? That would definitely break world's genius record
But in reality, I stood frozen like an iced fish. My feet were helplessly stuck to the ground and before I could open my mouth to talk nor move, forty rifles were pointed instantly at .
"I co in peace " I blurted out and put my hands in the air as a sigh of surrender.
" How did you co in here? " The guy from earlier with the tattoo asked .
I swallowed and pointed at the door "The door was unlocked and so I decided to talk a tour "
I lied through my teeth, there was no way on earth I was telling them I was making my escape before mistakenly running into their room.
One of the them with a vivid brown teeth snickered and gave a knowing look " You sure look to like soone making her escape "
My heart pounded against my chest, is this how I was going to die.
God this is so cruel , this is not how I imagined I would spend my last mont on earth.
I've always imagined growing old, then on my sickbed my children and grandchildren would surround as I bless them one after the other and finally give up the ghost .
But it seems that dream is definitely not for .
"Take her " The man with the brown teeth which I would refer to as "Rotten teeth " gestured to his n with his head and they approached at once.
I didn't resist them but remained calm and tried to think my way out of this situation.
If they had the intention of murdering , they would definitely not do it in this room - who knows what's going on in their head anyway but let's look on the bright side.
I could fight those two n - a lot of effort would be needed - if we were sohow excluded from the others.
But the mont they grabbed , a knock sounded from behind and one of them released with a curse and went ahead to open the door.
"Oh, Erald " He looked startled and reflexively took a step back before letting this Erald guy into the room.
"Sakuzi wants to et her, " Erald told them straight away as soon as he walked into the room, eliciting a hushed atmosphere.
The guy was very very tall, I bet seven feet plus and big and brawny, not to talk of his rugged features.
His intense gaze was on and I had to really stretch my neck just to have a glance of his face.
Unfortunately, I lowered my head as soon as our gaze connected, his expression was scary.
He had this stiff and unsmiling face and it was obvious the others were scared of him as well.
Rotten teeth cleared his throat nervously, "Of Course take her away, who would stop you anyway " He said, subtly hinting no one was bold enough to challenge his authority.
He glanced down at with that scary expression of his and ordered "Follow " as he walked out the door.
My feet fearfully moved of its own volition, I couldn't even think of taking on this guy - not even in my dreams - his stare alone was enough to make pee in my pants.
Erald marched down the passageway with trailing after him but it got to a ti he didn't even glance over his shoulder to check whether following or not
So I purposely stopped but when he continued walking, I knew this was my chance to escape.
But the mont I turned around and tried to take to my heels, a painful grip turned back around.
I was slamd into the wall with a montum that had my breath knocked out of as he hovered over saying,
"Now buttercup, you could either be a doll and follow peacefully or… ," he lowered his voice and moved closer "Or we could do this the hard way , your choice " he offered but I could sense the threat in his tone.
I replied nervously "I-I will follow you peacefully "
A smile that did little to calm my nerves appeared on his face "Good choice " he tousled my hair.
"Now to the front " he commanded and I obeyed, I guess he couldn't risk staying behind him this ti.
I bet he was thinking : the first ti you ran, the second ti you might stab a knife in my back.
Though I was at the front but Erald led the way from behind and soon enough, we walked into a large yet lavishly decorated dining room.
There was a large dining table filled with nurous mouth watering dishes and I felt my stomach grumble, I had not taken any filling food at the Gala.
There was a middle-aged man sitting at the edge of the dining table and giving out orders to a maidservant.
Erald walked up to him and bowed? "Boss "
Boss? My brows knitted together as confusion crossed my features.
Honestly, when I heard the na "Sakuzi " I was definitely expecting a handso young man, probably Niklaus's age or a little older and who I surmised was a gang leader or had an affiliation with the mob.
But the middle-aged man with short straight salt and pepper hair, definitely handso, virile with the sa eye colour as mine, wasn't what I was expecting at all.
He looked the sa age as Adam, maybe a little more younger - I couldn't exactly tell since looks were deceiving - and was donning a casual shirt and pants.
I stood at a place and watched the giant Erald bend and whisper sothing into his ear which made his eyes twinkle.
He nodded his head and gestured? Erald to leave before he stood, approaching with this vibrant smile on his face.
"You must be Maya " He said, standing right in front of .
"Why bother asking when you already know " I wanted to sass at him but the thought of Erald who was currently guiding the door made hold back my tongue.
I replied instead " Yes, I am Maya "
He clapped " Splendid, now co for dinner "
I knew it was an order not a request, so without objecting, I followed him.
Sakuzi pulled out a seat beside his for and I sat down muttering "Thank you "
He smiled back " You're welco "
I don't know what ga he is playing but I would see it through to the end.
I couldn't help but wonder what Niklaus would be doing at the mont - that is if he has noticed I have been kidnapped.
But even if he does notice, would he co find ? I bet not , afterall he was the number one "citizen" , the? treasured "heir" of the Spencer group, his daddy would probably not? let him even take a foot out of the house.
I snorted derisively inwardly, perhaps I should be grateful Tina opened my eyes tonight.
I was dating soone who was way beyond my dream and I had nothing; no money, no fairy godmother .
"Why did you bring here? I swear I have never seen you in my entire life, so what could I have done to have you kidnap ? " I couldn't take it anymore, what could they possibly want with ?
I was not fooled by his warm reception, I have seen his n and the weapon they carry, they must be a mob or sothing.
Sakuzi was indifferent to my question, instead he dug his fork into his sliced chicken and took a bite.
"Mmm," he moaned, pointed his fork to the chicken and said to " You should have a taste, the chicken is heavenly "
But I didn't dare obey, who knows what he put in my food.They drugged once, what's to say they won't drug a second ti
"Don't tell you kidnapped from God knows how many miles away, just to make have chicken with you "I said to him with a vexed tone.
Sakuzi stopped, dropped his fork beside his plate,he? glanced up at with a serious expression
"Fine, I'll tell you why you're here " He wiped the side of his mouth with the red table napkin and continued, "You're here because Niklaus took a life from and you are going to pay with yours "
