Chapter Twenty - Four : I Give You The Permission To Sleep With That Man . (2/2)
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 welcome ceremony was short-lived by the *cough* , I just said a simple welcome 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 meals as an awkward silence fell upon us but Emily the chatty came to the rescue.
”So, how has your stay here being? ”
I swallowed. *cough *cough* Aside from the constant sexual harassment as called by your niece from your brother and the constant heart attack from your niece, it's been okay. I answered mentally
”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 tame 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 meant 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 met, they were communicating another to me,
' 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 me from Emily's soul boring stares but leaving me confused at the same time
”What? ”
By my side, I felt Nik stiffen but I didn't put much thought to the sudden change in his demeanor 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 me.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 me ”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 someone 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 me that fateful day we met, told me he wasn't going to give up on me that easily and it turned out right , just that a certain person was working behind the scene all that time.
I stared at Nik, he ate his meal 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 me saying ”Its rude to interrupt a meal, can't you have a little patience? ”
”I'll be waiting for you outside then ” I spat ”Enjoy your meal 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 hammered 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? come-on honey, we've being there before ”
”Oh, I know”I answered ”That's why this time, there's no turning back” I said preparing to leave but he held my arm drawing me back.
”Eden was never going to be a good influence, he was going to use you against me 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 come out of nowhere and make a complete fool out of me, without asking for my opinion and say it was the best for me!!!!! ” 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 means 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 me! ” I roared and left , leaving him momentarily 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 me 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 me 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 became a dark past.
