Chapter Twelve : Nik Spencer (1/2)

Nik's POV

Tina was beginning to get annoying, she couldn't stop blabbering how she doesn't support the idea of Isabelle having a nanny called Maya .She was jealous of Maya and that was one of the qualities I disliked so much.

Jealousy? I hated it a lot cause Kay used that emotion a lot to manipulate me when she was around which is why I discarded anything and anyone that arouses such feeling in me.

But I couldn't just get rid of Tina yet ,our relationship wasn't just based on pleasure, She and I had a lot of projects our companies were working on together.

So I just tuned out her complains by going to sleep , she knew at once that meant end of discussion and knew better than to disturb me further.

When I woke the next day , all my body screamed for coffee .So I decided to go make it since I couldn't drink coffee made by others. A weird behaviour acquired after going through Kay's manipulation.

During our marriage, Kay wanted children but I didn't, considering we were so young then. Heck! I got married at the age of sixteen , weird but I always wanted to do something different and considering I've being inlove with kay since childhood, I wondered ' why wait?' So we jumped into the deep waters of marriage.

When persuading me didn't work, kay gave up or so I thought until she drugged my coffee and the next happened and before I knew what was going on, I was a father.I was pushed into fatherhood so quickly , and that became the beginning of the strain in our marriage.

Eversince then, I'm cautious about my coffee cause no one goes near its dwelling.

I was so immersed in thought that I didn't notice the presence of Maya , but I caught her secretly checking me out before rummaging the fridge and decided at once to tease her.

I slowly tiptoed out of my position and walked towards her , standing behind her knowing what was going to happen next. she ran into my chest and played ignorant but non of that stunned me as much as when my touch didn't affect her, which makes her relatively safe from me.

Why? you might ask but I'm no gentleman, once we start something even as small as a flirt, we start to finish.

Or maybe she was just faking she wasn't affected by me .Then she better fake to the end cause once she stops, I'll have my chance cause I don't give up on treasures that gives pleasure.

Also, if she could resist my charm that means Eden's wouldn't work on her either. Eden and I have a complicated relationship and are fighting a battle that started before time began so I don't recruit comrades that will be influenced or coerced by him which he's surpricingly good at.

I noticed her cheek lift up in disapproval after I sent one of my powerful smiles to the maid who had called us down for dinner.

Well, she shouldn't look at me that way because its wasn't my fault that she's blushing like crazy, the maid I mean, neither was it my fault that I was bestowed with great features.

”How can you do that?”she asked

”Do what?”I asked in pretence. I knew exactly what she was talking about but I didn't want to give her the pleasure.

”Be in a relationship and date other species of girls?”

”Nice choice of words” I criticized but she didn't give a darmn about it so I leaned forward and looked her straight in the eye saying

”I don't know what you're talking, you're the one who said it all but anyway let's go prepare for war”

”War?” she frowned probably confused

”Haven't you figured it out?”

”Figure what out?”

”Breakfast is just a camouflage, Maya .The true meaning is.....”

”War” she answered

”That's my girl” The words slipped from my mouth before I could take it back .I wanted to regret saying that but when I saw the smile on her face my heart warmed at once.

I froze.

What was going on? My emotions never react this way, why was I happy that she's happy? No, something was definitely wrong. So I went back to my cold , organized, keeping - my emotions under control guy I was.

”See you at breakfast ” I said and saw her open her mouth to say something but I turned away and felt her face drop but I didn't care.I had to leave before I started making promises and doing things that will make her happy.
