Chapter 105 - One Hundred And Five : You Will Never Find Happiness (1/2)

Nik's POV

Sometimes it frustrates me the way Maya trusts people so easily, how could she sleep comfortably in a room provided by a mobster called Sakuzi. Wasn't she scared that she would be strangled or shot in her sleep or does she think every mobster is as kind as me

But something was still strange, why did Sakuzi spare Maya? Yeah, it was a trap but the Sakuzi I know wouldn't have left Maya untouched, he would have at least tortured her before I arrived as evidence to show his sheer dislike of me.

The same thing happened with one of the models, I showed favoritism to years ago when our bad blood was still fresh. Sakuzi thought I had fallen for her and had his men capture her.

Though my men rescued her afterward, the girl was never the same. She had to be surgically operated and rehabilitated before she could communicate normally with society.

Though Sakuzi left after that, I made sure none of the women I dated, lasted beyond a month until I met Tina. Unlike the other girls, even I knew Sakuzi wouldn't carelessly mess with her.

Tina comes from a family with a long line of government officials, every member of her family was in a position of power thus making it hard for people to mess with her.

I gathered the bugging devices and flushed them down the toilet. Sakuzi knew I would find them, he was just messing around with me purposely -  giving me a hard time was his hobby.

After the shower, I walked back into the room hoping to catch some sleep after such a long day. I was physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted.

But I was surprised to find Maya sleeping across the bed, her body was hardly occupying the whole space but she also intentionally made it impossible to find a space to sleep on.

I stood beside the bed with arms akimbo while staring at her intensely, what do I even do with her?

”What? ” Maya asked me as if she didn't know why I was giving her a look.

” Move to the side Maya, ” I told her and tried to climb the bed but Maya readjusted her position with lightning speed, this time stretching her body fully on the bed.

My mouth quirked up, what should I make of this situation? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She snorted, ”I'm sorry but I've called dibs on the bed ” and directed me to the pool of sheets on the floor.

”I was kind enough to order those for you ”

I scoffed inwardly, kind my ass. Maya was obviously still angry at me and she has every right to be, but I seriously needed sleep to be able to tackle tomorrow's problems.

I had a lot on my plate now, after dealing with Sakuzi tomorrow, I still had my father to face because of the ledger.

”Really Maya? ”

”Yeah, really. ”

I wiped my face with my palm ”Maya, I've had a long day today, I need to catch a wink right now ”

I tried to reason with her and was very relieved when she finally gave in.

”Alright, you can knock yourself out ”

”She was indeed kind after all ” was what I thought until she added,

”On the floor ”

”Maya, be good… ”  I warned

”Or what? ” she shot back

Fine, since she doesn't want me to get a rest, she wouldn't either. Two can play at that game. My eyes twinkled with excitement and I began to crawl towards her.

Maya must have sensed the sudden change in my demeanor cause her eyes grew wild and she began to crawl back until she came to a dead-end.

”I swear to God if you come any closer, I'll call the police and have you charged for assault ”

I stopped, thought over her word, and burst into laughter. As experienced as my men were, they wouldn't have found this place had they not been tracking the kidnappers.

Moreover, Sakuzi had his own people in the police force and this mansion was highly secured: such calls would be intercepted before reaching its target.

”Sure, call the police. Have you forgotten where you are ?”  I reminded her.

Her expression also told me she remembered I had the police in the palms of my hand.

She swallowed down her saliva ” In case you don't remember, I am a black belt so don't you dare come close else… ”

Her fear seemed to excite me, the more she kept talking, the more I kept approaching her until I had her where I wanted her to be.

I said to her ”I'm sorry sweetheart but I need to sleep, ”

Without warning, I carried her off the bed and tossed her on the pile of blankets that muffled her fall.

”Peace at last ” I breathed and assumed a position on the bed.

Unfortunately, Maya was like a toddler who hardly tires out once excited. She sprang up like a cat and jumped onto the bed, before pushing me to the edge of the bed with a heavy grunt.

I let her do what she wanted since I was too tired to fight back and was curious to see what she was up-to.
