Chapter 102 - One Hundred And Two : Her Alternative Self -2 (2/2)

Sakuzi laughed and raised his glass saying ” This is the most entertaining night I've ever had ”

I glowered at him ”I'm here to take back what you took from me! ”

”I'm not your f*cking property! ” Maya retorted.

My jaw ticked, her rotten drunken attitude was now getting on my nerves. Can't she see I'm trying my best to save her ass here.

”Niklaus Spencer ” Sakuzi called me grimly by my full name ” You should already know by now what I want ”

I snorted ”Why are you being so obnoxious?You clearly know Maxwell was shot in the heat of the moment ”

Sakuzi's eyes darkened and he raised his voice ”I can't be fooled! ”

Realizing he lost control of his temper, he lowered his voice but the venom dripping off his words were apparent.

”If you haven't doublecrossed me, I wouldn't have lost Max ”

”Why would I double cross you in a deal that caused me my wife too! ” Niklaus yelled back at him.

Maya, who had been surprisingly quiet since the chicken attack, spoke up at once.

”Hollerup, what the hell is going on here?! ”

”Stay out of this ” I warned her, as if she ever listens to me.

”Perhaps you would like another chicken? ”

I turned to face her with an ugly scowl on my face ”Is that a threat ? ”

”Depends on how you read it ” she said back fearlessly.

I rubbed my face with my palm, sighing ”I'll deal with you later ”

”The girl isn't worth your attention ” I went straight to the point ”You would gain nothing from ending her ”

”Yeah trust the asshole, you would gain nothing from killing me. No one would miss me, not even my mom - the asshole included by the way ” Maya chimed in.

”Maya ” I growled a warning and she sat back in her chair grumpily - at least she still acknowledges  my threat.

”The girl might not be worth my attention but she's worth your attention. ” he pointed out and walked towards me ” Don't you get it Niklaus, I'm going to take something you desire the most from you just as you took from me ”

There was silence for a moment before I glanced up and with lightning speed, snatched the gun from stoic Face's grip and pointed it at Sakuzi's  head.

Instantly numerous rifles were pointed at Maya and Judy. Unlike Maya who was outwardly glaring at me, Judy was calm and maintained eye contact with me.

He laughed scornfully ”I thought you were smarter than this , Niklaus  ”

I knew if I dared make a wrong move, Maya would definitely die right away. There was no escaping it, she couldn't outrun that many bullets unless she was supergirl.

I swallowed the humiliation and  the anger, dropped the gun and slowly went on my knees eliciting a shocked gasp from the crowd - sakuzi was not left out.

”She's not the woman after my heart but I made a promise to keep her safe. I want to take her place but I know you  would never allow it, you want me to feel the pain and humiliation of watching a loved ones die helplessly ”

There was a stunned expression on Maya's face and Sakuzi was not left out either, even though he hid it perfectly.

A shocked silence reigned for a while until Sakuzi decided to break it

He laughed in disbelief ” Let's say I do believe the garbage you just said, aren't I at a loss? I didn't gain anything from this - ”

”I'll give you Gerald's ledger ” I offered and heard Judy hurl profanity upon profanity.

He knew I  just signed my death warrant, the Oldman would definitely kill me for this.

Gerald was Sakuzi's enemy and was once ours, if we hadn't gained possession of his business ledger and used it to tame him ; everyone, gang or mob leader, knows how dangerous their ledger is in the hands of an enemy.

So once Gerald has an idea his ledger is no longer in our possession, it would give him the incentive to attack us while he would have no choice than to fawn over Sakuzi in order to get in his good grace .

A smile stretched Sakuzi's mouth ”Absolutely fine by me but that doesn't mean you can take the girl tonight ”

My countenance changed and my eyes turned murderous but he sensed it cause and explained,

”Rest assured, I won't do anything to her tonight afterall the girl is now my guest and we have been having a good time before your arrival, isn't that right Maya? ”

Sakuzi directed the question at her and my blood chilled, he was doing it on purpose .

Why ask the drunk Maya, the answer was obvious.

And just  as I expected Maya answered, ”Yes, it is. I'll be honoured to spend the rest of the night here ” She boldly declared while staring me in the eyes challengingly.

You've got to be kidding me.
