Chapter 92 - Ninety-two : Pot Calling The Kettle Black (1/2)
Isabella's Pov
I looked up and was surprised to find that woman by my side, my forehead creased and eyes narrowed into slits. I don't remember the both of us being friends so why was she helping me out?
”I said, she is with me ” Tina restated firmly when they tried to approach me.
”But Sir Niklaus would not - ”
”I would handle Niklaus by myself ” she interrupted one of the two guards who tried to protest.
”But still - ”
” Move ” Tina ordered coldly and the guard shrunk back from her intimidating gaze.
Though I disliked her, I couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up for her aggressiveness; she was totally badass .
”Let's go ” Tina took my hand and led me down the hallway and into the elevator.
”I don't like owing people, what do you want in return? ” I told her straightforwardly as soon as the elevator door closed us in.
Tina turned to stare at me with an amused expression, with hands crossed across her chest she asked ,
”What if I said I needed your support? ”
I laughed ”That would so not happen, not even in my next life ” I told her pointedly ”I don't like you ”
”And I don't like you too” She replied back with a serious expression ”At Least we've established that fact ”
”Thankfully ” I mumbled under my breath. I never gave the illusion of liking her and she didn't either, regardless her straightforwardness was an admirable trait.
”What were you doing outside by the way? ” I inquired curiously.
”None of your business ” came her curt reply.
But I pressed on ”The ballroom is not that direction ”
She gave me an annoyed look ” I was looking for your father ”
I twisted my face in a mock laugh ”If that's so then you're more dumber than I thought ”
Her expression changed ” I'm not dumb !”
”Says someone who can't figure out Maya and Niklaus sitting in the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G ” I taunted, God! how I love the expression on her face.
She tried to reason,perhaps tried to convince herself ”Today is a very important day and Niklaus wouldn't be so careless as to abandon his guest just for a moment of pleasure with that gold digger! ”
Tsk tsk, I shook my head, I wasn't a love specialist neither do I convince people in denial, so I continued my song.
”First comes love.Then comes marriage.Then comes a baby who would help me out with my plans - ”
” Stop it !” Tina ordered, her face was beet red
I cocked a brow ”Why? Does it sound awfully close to home? ”
I watched her take a long deep breath, trying to keep her emotions in check.
”In this life Niklaus can only belong to one woman and that is me, no one else ! No one knows Niklaus more than I do and I won't let anyone take what's rightfully mine ” She declared and I could see the fire in her eyes; she really was determined to see this to the end.
This was why I disliked her, she had too many dreams and yes, having a dream wasn't bad, delusional dreams were .
”You really need to see a doctor, this was how all psychopaths began - if only they had someone to tell them on time, which I just did so you're welcome by the way ” I consoled her in my own way.
Tina was taken aback by my comment until a smile stretched her lips ”Undoubtedly you're Niklaus's kid, you have the same hair, face and attitude ”
She pursed her lips together as if thinking ” I wonder who made the stupid assumption of you being Eden's child ”
My head jerked up as all smiles drained from my face. Did she really have to bring that up?
Tina continued ”You know it surprises me sometimes ” she tilted her head to the side ”How dumb kay could give birth to such an amazing and intelligent daughter? ”
My eyes flashed, you can speak ill of me or any other person save my mother - she is the apple of my eyes and always would remain my hot button.
I gritted my teeth, anger surging through me ” You would never be my mother! ”
