Chapter Fourty - Seven : You Shouldnt Be Doing This (1/2)

Nik's POV

No matter how many times I look at it, I don't see where I did wrong. I mean, who would want to remain in such toxic family? Yes, my relatives and I, we do compete and struggle for everything but we don't starve one another,we know our limit. But them ? They've totally crossed the line.

Fine, let's forget about her step or half dad or whatever. Let's talk about her mother. Her daughter she hasn't seen for how long, three? four? five years? She didn't even give a shit about her! Didn't ask about her well-being, how she's been living? But then goes on ahead to ask for a favour right away? what a nerve.

I scoffed in disbelief, they should be lucky I wasn't there when it happened, else I'll would've chopped them to pieces; just like I'm doing to this onions right now.

”Sir Nik ” Amanda tried to take the knife from me but I sent her a glare ”You should leave this to me, you shouldn't be here ” She still tried to reason with me and in the process cut myself - thanks to her distraction.

My face scrunched up from the pain while Amanda let out a dramatic gasp.

” Look what you've done to yourself now !” She chided, while glaring at me. I knew if I wasn't an adult and her employer, she would probably be pulling my ear by now.

I ignored her ravings and simply turned on the faucet and let the water from the kitchen sink wash away the blood.

”Sir Nik ” She called after me again when I placed the chopped onion in a container after my wound had successfully stopped bleeding.

Gosh, her voice was beginning to hurt my ear.

I ignored her and simply nudge her to the side with my hips when she tried to stop me from adding the chicken stock and the bay leaves around the onions.

”Sir Nik! ” She cried while stomping her feet exasperatingly.

”Your madam refuses to eat ” I said to her and her mouth shut at once ”I think it has to do with the fact the food was prepared by you, I feel she's craving mine ”

Amanda gave me an 'Oh really? ' look , while trying to keep a straight face. It was obvious this situation was quite funny to her considering this was the first time I was preparing a meal in my entire life - not for me but someone else.

Aside from making my coffees, I had no other idea about the kitchen- I was just too lazy to learn how to cook anyway.

” Did you guys have a fight, again? ” Amanda asked.

I turned to face her and when I saw the concerned look on her face, slowly nodded my head as an answer.

” Thought so ” She sighed.

Even if I didn't tell her, Amanda was quick to catch on things and obviously knows my intentions towards Maya.

” Let me guess ” She said rubbing her hand on her jaw ”You did something to her without her consent, right?”

” Am I that obvious to read? ” I queried

”Nope” came her answer ”You're just one hell of a difficult man to understand ” She deadpanned and I cast her a playful glare.

”No, seriously, what did you do this time?” She asked folding her arms across her chest.

”I kinda forced her family to remove her name out of the family registry - ”

”You did what?!” Amanda boomed.
