Chapter 100 - Hundred : Your Ex-fiancé (2/2)

”So when I'm drunk, my alter ego come to light ”

Sakuzi stared at me with a captivated expression, he asked once more ”What's your alternative self like? ”

”My alter ego is the exact polar opposite of me cause I always remember my drunken episodes ” I took a deep breath and went on.

”She's daring,strong, bold, bitchy, rude and totally different from the real me ” I bite the inside of my mouth and add.

”Moreover if you plan to kill me, do it while I'm drunk. It would be less painful and noticeable since I would lose my inhibitions ”

There was a short silence as sakuzi regarded me intensely and I had to lower my eyes from embarrassment.

He snapped his fingers and gestured to the maid who had been standing at attention beside him, she moved and served me.

”I can't wait to meet your altar ego ” He said with a hint of anticipation.

I took my half filled wine glass and downed the whole content

”That sure tastes good! ” I exclaimed and signalled for my glass to be refilled.

”Our differences apart, you have a good taste in wine ” I complimented him and brought the wine to my lips.

Sakuzi said indifferently ” That is Cheval Blanc 1947 Saint-Emilion wine and a single bottle cost about

one hundred thirty-five thousand, one hundred twenty-five dollars ”

I spouted out the wine in my mouth from shock, choking and coughing in the process .

”I-I sorry ” I choked .

The maid handed Sakuzi a handkerchief which he used to wipe away the wine I spilled on him.

I grabbed the table napkin and wiped my lips, jaw and the front of my bodice clean - though the stain still remained

Seriously, what's with these rich people? I couldn't believe it, I just drank $135,125 ? Why?!

Still I made a fool of myself but seriously, for someone with such a scary background, he sure has a lot of patience .

Or maybe he's just counting and pocketing all my bad deeds awaiting the moment when he would kill me.

I saw Sakuzi rub his forehead as he pleaded exasperatedly ”Can we go to the storytelling now? ”

”Sure ” I replied and quickly gulped down another glass ” Well ” I licked my lips and began.

”Just like most romance begins, I'm the lucky female lead who gets to meet her prince charming - without the help of a fairy Godmother by the way.

But my Prince Charming is a bit different in the sense he is a chronic player and just like they would say ”Fate brought the two of us together ”

I ended up being his daughter's nanny and though I knew he was bad for me, I still got involved with him.

He promised me the world and I totally believed it….I mean he was really sweet to  m-me….” I choked  back a tears but more began to flow

incessantly.

Sakuzi with an apathetic look stretched a handkerchief towards me which I took - not the one he used by the way.

It took me a good five minutes to calm myself down and during that period he didn't say a word to me, just slipped his wine slowly and quietly.

”He promised me the world ” I sniffed and continued my story ”But I guess I was just a dumb barbie who believed happily ever after was a thing .

Maybe, he did like me - Not love by the way, Niklaus is not capable of loving - but sometimes such feelings alone are just not enough ….”

Sakuzi interrupted me with what I would refer to as a ” mocking laugh ”, my brows raised up questioningly .

”I'm sorry, go on ” he apologized, a hint of laughter still playing at the corner of his lips.

I pursed my lips ” Unknown to me, he had other plans. He finally proposed to me tonight but his ex-girlfriend intercepted the whole thing and now, the whole world thinks Tina is his fiancee ”

”And you did nothing? ” Sakuzi asked.

”Well, what was I supposed to do?!” I mistakenly snapped at him.

I saw the sharp glint in his eyes, realizing my mistake, I calmed myself and continued

”What do you want me to do? Start a cat fight? Scream to the whole audience that she's lying when everyone saw her kissing Niklaus right after the proposal? ”

”Well that's none of my business ” Sakuzi brushed it off  ”I already got you, that's all that matters ”

”I'm telling you you're just wasting your breath, there is no way Niklaus would come all this way just to - ”

The sound of gunshots interrupted me.

A hint of apprehension, confusion and fear crossed my features ”What's going on? ”

”Your beloved ex-fiancé Is here ”
