Chapter Twenty - Six : Who Am I ? (1/2)

Note: Snu-Snu scene ahead, 18+

Nik's Pov

Last week was tormenting, at least my daughter made sure of it when not being haunted by Maya's shadow.

”This is your whole fault!” Isabelle would rage glaring at me with full intensity.

”Everything was going perfectly until you ruined it, I hate you!!! ”

She would say and run back to her room banging the door so hard that the whole house would rattle from the impact while I'll stay up drinking and coming up with my schemes.

I made my private guard follow Maya and monitor all her activities. For some reason, I felt uncomfortable about her threat of sleeping with other men to pay for the breach of contract. No one had the right to touch her save me.

My phone rang disturbing the tranquility that was being observed a while ago. I picked the phone noticing the I.D and felt a twinge of fear. Had she made true of her threat?

Normally, my private guard doesn't call, just text me up on her progress but today was the first time he called, and possibly, something bad was about to happen.

I was startled by a sudden pain only to discover the cigarette was burnt out and the crumbs were burning my hand already.

”Hello,” I said, my voice deep and bothered, dumping the cigarette butts in an ashtray and grabbed a glass of wine beside it.

I listened to the information on the other end anxiously and with rapt attention. All of a sudden, the glass slipped from my hand scattering to pieces upon contact with the ground.

I frowned trying to take in the information. She seems to be entering a hotel carried in the arms of a man?

I can't seem to remember how I grabbed my jacket and left the room, completely ignoring my housekeeper who looks like she was about to ask my opinion on something, or how I entered my car and drove here.

Royal Paradise

I stood watching the intimidating hotel in disdain, she dared to come in here with a man? Royal paradise was not an ordinary hotel, it was specially designed for the rich and mighty, so ordinary people dared not imagine coming in here.

How do I know?

Because it belongs to my family.

So whoever she might have come with tonight has a lot in his bank account.

As soon as I entered, I spotted my private guard at a corner of the hotel lounge and he nodded acknowledging my presence.

”Sir” The manager greeted, heading towards my direction. Judy, the private guard I had to follow Maya must have informed them of my coming.

”You shouldn't have told them ” I scolded Judy who wasn't disturbed at all he didn't even take it seriously ”Now everyone's going to poke their noses ”

He smiled, not the kind or warm one but the one that says f*ck you

”You should have known the old man wouldn't let this go when you stopped me from protecting you, instead of the woman you've begun to have feelings for,”  He said, shooing away the manager who obviously was disappointed he couldn't get into my good book.

Not in the mood now, mister!

I froze in my tracks ”I don't have feelings for her, I'm just concerned about her” I tried to make it clear to him but I should've known by now Judy doesn't give a damn about feelings.

”Well, apparently the woman you risked your life for the past days is in a hotel room with another man. ”

I shuddered knowing what Judy meant. The fact was every high and mighty family like ours had their dirty secret or rather their skeleton in the wardrobe.

Reaching to be number one in this city and the world wasn't always achieved with clean hands.

We have our underworld forces which oftentimes carry out some dirty deeds for the government and some organizations in return for a favor. Huge thanks to that, it doesn't leave us in short of enemies.

So every member of our family is assigned with guards and a shadow guard. Shadow guards are the highest and formidable guards skilled enough to be in charge of our lives in the secret.

They never expose themselves during a mission except to the person they are assigned to neither do they get involved unless the ordinary guards fail and in dire situations.

They are specialized in keeping the Spencer clan alive so it isn't a surprise if a shadow guard dies in place of us.

Since we have a lot of enemies, it was so much a risk asking him to guard Maya instead of me. If anything had happened to me within that period, he would've paid with his life.

'Don't worry” I retorted ”I'll shoulder every blame” I assured him and stepped into the elevator as he stepped in too

There was a deafening silence in the elevator, nor of us daring to speak cause we were too preoccupied with our thoughts. I clenched my fist by my side hoping and praying that I wasn't going to witness what I had already imagined in my heart.

With a ding, the elevator door opened and we walked out with Judy directing me to the said room as I studied it cautiously.

Room 404

I raised my hand to open it but froze midway. What if she was in the arms of another man moaning the way she had done when she was in my arms? What if she prefers this new man to me?

I swallowed deeply taking hold of the doorknob, it was now or never.

Immediately I pushed open the door, I was shocked to the core. She was lying beneath a strange man, I thought repeatedly until I noticed something.

She seems to be struggling

I thought I was imagining things until I heard a broken whisper

”Help..me”

The man was so engrossed in the act that he didn't notice me until I flung him halfway across the room. He yelped as I rushed him not giving him a chance to regain his footing

”Who are you... ” I punched the words right out of his mouth before he screamed, struggling to escape from my hold.

”How dare you!! ”I raged, punching the daylight out of him. My eyes were dark and wild, I was bloodthirsty and would have completely wasted him if Judy hadn't called my attention.

”Something is wrong with the girl ” Judy called out while I turned to watch her moan loudly, moving and grinding against the pillow she had placed in between her legs to relieve herself

My eyes narrowed at once, she's drugged!

I turned to the suspected perpetrator and kicked him hard in the stomach as he toppled over.

”You dare to drug her! You motherf*cking son of a b*tch ” I roared only to be dragged back by Judy. I raised a brow at his action

”Take care of the girl, I'll take care of the idiot ” he assured, taking hold of the fool who had passed out already and threw him over his shoulder as if he weighed nothing.

His strength indeed marvels me

Immediately Judy left with the fool, I made a few calls before attending to Maya. She was sweating profusely and rubbing her thighs together after the pillow seems to have failed In satisfying her.

” Maya ” I called reaching out my hands and wiping away the beads of sweat on her forehead. Everything made sense now, Judy was wrong in his report.

Maya wasn't carried to the hotel rather she was dragged to a hotel. I felt a tight feeling in my chest when I tried to imagine what would've happened if I hadn't had someone follow her or if I wasn't here on time.

I was momentarily startled when arms wrapped around my neck and were squashed to a certain soft body. Hands hungry with need rummaged throughout my body instantly waking the beast in me.

I opened my mouth to protest but was suddenly assaulted by delicate lips. It wasn't gentle nor romantic but hurried, ravaging, scorching and demanding. God, I'm losing my mind here.
