Chapter fifty-five : Dont Believe A Word He Says (1/2)

Maya's POV

Nik straddling me on the couch and I helplessly beneath him was the scene that welcomed Eden when he stormed into the office, roaring like an injured bull.

Then he froze.

I turned to the source of the disturbance and our eyes met and held, awareness slowly returning.

I panicked and began to push at Nik's chest so he could get off me but he choose this very moment to show me his true colour.

Not only did he not budge, he used this very opportunity to lower his head and kiss me. Fully on the lips. for a very long time. Before he pulled away.

”M-maya? ” Eden croaked after the long ' left me breathless kiss' . It was obvious he was finding it hard to believe I was the one straddled beneath Niklaus and intensely making out with him.

”Yeah, your one and only ” I would've replied in a normal situation but Nik just made it difficult to show my face to him.

Passing him a thousand watt glare, he finally got off me but not without dropping a small smooch on my lips, irritating me further. I could already tell he was now doing this on purpose, he was trying to irk Eden and he was using me.

”Hi cousin ” Nik greeted adjusting his shirt which was missing a few buttons, also creased and rumpled from the clenching and unclenching of my hands during our passionate session.

”It seems you barged into my office at the wrong time, what if we were in the middle of doing something? ” He said insinuatively and I had the burning urge to just hide my face for the rest of my life. How could Nik be so shameless?

But Eden ignored him and faced me

”You? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be having a bed rest?! ” He yelled at me and I flinched.

But wait a minute, why was he transferring his aggression on me? I don't know whatever ensued between Nik and him but I was totally innocent. Why was he dragging me into their mess?

”That's not the way to talk to your sister-in-law ! ” Nik reprimanded him sternly.

”How I talk to my sister... ” Eden trailed off but his head jerked up with a wide-eyed expression as he realised what Nik just said.

”Sister-in-law?! What nonsense are you vomiting this time? ” Eden huffed.

”He's right Eden, We're getting married soon ” I affirmed and his expression changed.

There was this blank look on his face, as if shocked and in disbelief and I began to pity the guy but it seems it wasn't need cause Eden burst into an outrageous laughter.

”Oh my God ” He laughed , tears springing from his eyes ” He told you that? ” He laughed harder, clutching his stomach.

I stared at him in confusion, what's so funny about the fact Nik was marrying me?

I turned and gave Nik a concerned look but he was already on his office seat with his usual poker face. Chin resting on hands and watching the unfolding drama with all his attention .
