Chapter Twenty - Four : I Give You The Permission To Sleep With That Man . (1/2)
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 time 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 come up with a scheme to get back at him.
I screamed out my lungs when I saw a certain figure sitting on my bed with a glare meant to decapitate a certain individual named 'me' at sight.
I stared at Izzy flabbergasted, why was she giving me 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 me at once. She knew I was with him?
”Him? ”
”Don't give me that look, you know by now who am talking about?” Izzy said coldly, not taking her curious eyes off me.
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 me” Came her reply. I mentally smacked my forehead, she just tricked me .
”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 me” 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 mean?
”Don't you know? That's called sexual harassment”
”????”
I clutched my temple, knowing discussing this further with her would only leave me at a loss. ”Fine, what do you want from me? ”
”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 women , 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 assessment.
”Your point? ” I groaned
”I was just messing 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 shameless? what's this world turning into?
As if she read my mind, She said
”Don't worry , I can be more shameless than that man when the occasion calls for it . Come down for supper ” and that being said , she left banging my door shut.
I stood momentarily 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 shamelessness .
I dressed up wearing a simple yellow turtle neck woolly gown with my hair falling around my shoulder .
I didn't come down immediately, 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 schemers and I'm caught in the middle of it. who knows what they have in store for me 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 some cases commanding me to get my ass downstairs courtesy of Nik.
The way I was being treated here, one would mistake me 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 me. All eyes including Eden and Emily. They were here? I glanced at Nik and understood why he was forcing me down here.
Father and daughter pinned me with a look, the way they were staring at me seemed 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 me as I held my breath. I could feel father and daughter's murderous aura, they would kill someone pretty soon.
”You're pretty as always” Eden took my hand and placed a peck on the back of my palm. At that same time, 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 moment, next I knew someone brought a glass of water to my lips. I hurriedly gulped the whole content down and didn't notice anything weird happening. Unknown to me, 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 me all this time while Eden looked disgruntled as if a golden opportunity was snatched from him.
