Chapter 70 - Seventy : An Enemys Enemy Is A Friend (1/2)
Niklaus and Sakuzi were like fire and ice, they couldn't and would never coexist with each other . Kay issues set aside, there was a reason why Nik had to avoid love at all cost.
The Spencer family were in constant danger because of the nature of their business , potential competitors whether legal or illegally would go to any length just to bring them down .
So using their love interest to blackmail or threaten them was a common occurrence which never bothered Niklaus cause he had no real feelings for his playthings.
But unfortunately he has being captured by cupid's arrow even though he wouldn't admit it, but just caring for Maya alone has created an avenue for his enemies to step in and not just his enemies but his enemy of all enemies - Sakuzi
Nik's bad blood with Sakuzi wasn't something that could be resolved with mere words of apologies but with the death of one of them - two alphas can never exist in a pack, one has to submit or die.
” If Sakuzi is looking into Maya's background then nothing good can come out of it ” Eden commented rubbing his jaw thoughtfully.
”Possibly true, we all know this feud began after that incident that caused lady Kay's death ” Liam opined, adjusting his tie.
”Nik has made a huge mistake this time, he has gone soft, he let Maya weaken him while forgetting the crown is on his head ”
Eden knew whoever bears the thorny crown of
the Spencer family must have a heart of stone which is the only way of trampling upon their enemies.
At this rate, Eden was sure Adam would never agree to this marriage Niklaus was planning - Maya was like a touch of sunshine and was slowly infiltrating the darkness - Adam would never stay still and allow such a thing to happen.
Eden chuckled, humorously ; It seems he would get Maya sooner than expected cause an internal war would soon begin in the Spencer family.
Though Nik might be as stubborn as a mule but Adam was as tenacious as a bulldog and if push comes to shove - he might even conspire with Sakuzi just to set his son straight - that was just how scary Adam was.
” What do you think about this? ”
” Huh? ” Liam looked up surprised ” What do you mean sir? ”
”Do you think it's just a coincidence that Sakuzi returns the moment Nik is receiving a bit of happiness after so many years? ”
Liam's brows knitted together ” Are you suggesting someone must have tipped Sakuzi off about the girl... ” he trails off.
Eden met his eyes and smiled ” Bingo ! ”
” Who would do such a thing? Niklaus would definitely skin that person alive if he gets an idea of this ”
”I know that but Sakuzi has been lying low, waiting patiently for this moment and God has finally answered his prayers ”
But Liam tilts his head to the side, a look of doubt on his face ” What if you're mistaken and all this is nothing but a coincidence? ”
Eden throws his head back and gave out a hearty laugh ” That's the problem, Liam! I don't believe in coincidence but in causes and effects ! Just like now ” He said and his eyes darkened scaring the hell out of Liam.
Liam feeling something was not quite right instinctively took a step back and was about to flee when a muffled crack of thunder filled the room as a figure came out from under Eden's desk and pulled the trigger once... twice...thrice... until he dropped to the ground.
