Chapter 64 - Sixty-four : The Dam Was Broken (1/2)

Maya's POV

Truthfully, I wasn't able to recall how I was able to compose myself and entertain Cecil and her kid for the rest of their stay until they left.

Perhaps the news had numbed my senses or I just pretended I was seeing things . But inwardly I knew the news wasn't a figment of my imagination, it was real.

So I woke up . From my dreams.

”Tina Is engaged to Niklaus ” Kept playing in a loop in my mind as the severity of the situation dawned on me.

I didn't know I was shaking until Izzy held my hand and said to me in her coldest voice ever ”Don't dare leave until you give that man a piece of your mind ”

I looked down at her and nodded while giving her a wry smile. Izzy doesn't know how to comfort people but her words somehow brought warmth to my heart, at lest she cares.

Izzy then let go and swaggered out of the living room without looking back. A tired smile crept up my face and I shook my head, this girl - her pride sometimes was as huge as a corrupt politician's bank account!

But the moment she left, my brave front collapsed, the news was a real slap in the face. I wanted to call Nik and ask what's happening? Ask him whether this was some sort of prank or something? But I was scared .

I was scared that I would discover that I was nothing but a game to him. Discover that I was a fool to believe all his words and sweet nothings. Scared that I would discover that I was nothing but another of his conquered playthings now about to be added to his glorified collection.

”What if this is a fake news and Nik's indeed honest with you? ” I somehow thought but Nik's history makes it quite difficult to fully trust him.

Besides why hasn't he called me yet? At Lest even if he can't explain things right now but assure me, tell me everything is alright and I shouldn't worry much.

But nothing , not even a text !

I ended up going into my room and packing up my stuffs , my vision blurry with tears - I've made a fool of myself again. why wasn't I that lucky in relationships? Why do I always end up being used?!

My hands began to shake again , my thoughts so scattered, I wasn't able to think rationally.

I screamed and swept everything on my study table to the ground and toss my parking bag to the side, the folded clothes pouring out in all directions.

He lied to me - he said he was going to make our married life exciting.What a joke ! , I laughed. No wonder he hasn't put a ring on my finger yet, he was leading me on , playing me to the tune of his harp and I was a fool to dance to it .

After some moments of sobbing and mentally reviewing some things. I clenched my fist and looked up with a renewed determination.

Fine, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt by waiting for him to return - If he would . And then I would hear the whole story from the horse's mouth and if it's as I thought , that this whole thing was just for fun, for his own amusement.

I'll gladly leave here without looking back, with my head held high and swear never to have anything to do with the Spencers ever again.

After spending the next minutes rearranging my stuffs that lay scattered in every direction - fat thanks to my mad fit earlier, I climbed into my bed and quietly lay down hoping to get some rest before Nik returns.

But curiosity wouldn't let me be and the next thing I knew, I had opened my phone browser, hoping to read the news in depth but I was shocked to get zero result when I searched for it.

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me so I sat up abruptly and searched for the news again but still got no result.

Rubbing my eyes to ensure I was seeing right, I stared at my phone again but the result was still the same. News that was trending all over the internet was no more as if all the posts were deleted.
