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

When Maya pushed me to the edge of the bed, I thought she wanted to occupy eighty percent of the bed's space but what I never expected, was she to kick me to the ground.

”Stay down and never come up! ” Maya who was kneeling at the edge of the bed commanded me but I guess she never expected to slip.

In the process of turning back to the bed, she somehow slipped and fell, headbutting me in the process.

I grunted, rubbing my forehead, it was really painful and the headache just intensified by times two.

I was really angry, I wanted to yell at her but Maya's pitiful eyes connected with mine, and my anger dissipated at once.

”I'm sorry,” she said with teary eyes and almost quivering lips - my heart melted at once.

God, this girl would be the death of me!

”Fine, just go ” I waved her away and she climbed back to the bed.

”What? ” I asked when she suddenly patted the side of the bed.

”Let's share, ” she said without looking me in the eyes.

Oh, she now feels guilty for almost breaking my head. Well, who in the world refuses free services.

So I gallantly climbed into the bed but my gaze couldn't help but focus on her.

”Are you okay though ”

”What? ”

”Your head. I might have taken much of the impact but you injured yourself as well ”

”Oh this ” her hand went to her forehead ”I'm totally good, it's nothing compared to yours ” She replied to me.

I truly hoped it was as she said cause I wasn't ready to nurse anyone with a concussion.

Tucked warmly under the covers, Maya used the surplus sheet to create a demarcation between the both of us.

I stared at her back and reached out my hands, the urge to thread it through her silky hair overwhelming me.

Midway, I froze, both of us weren't together anymore. The reality finally dawned on me.

I no longer could hug, kiss nor touch her because she no longer belongs to me - I didn't like the sound of that.

But there was nothing I could do, it was for her own safety. Besides she doesn't deserve a jerk like me, Maya deserves so much more. Perhaps it was better this way.

My heart hurts, it felt like a knife just went through my chest. Why was I feeling this way?

There was no way this was heartbreak. I wasn't in love with Maya, just care for her. Also, my heart is kevlar protected from such feelings.

Maya's tossing and turning roused me from my thoughts, was she as disturbed as I was?

I didn't know when I grabbed the sheets and flung it aside, covering the distance between us as I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind.

I felt Maya freeze, then she tried to wriggle out of my embrace but I said to her

”Please, just this last time. ”

Maya didn't reply for a while, but I got her answer when she turned to my side and snuggled against me.

”Just for tonight ” She reminded me, hinting I shouldn't expect it another time - if there would be another time.

”Yes, just for tonight ” I assured her. But I couldn't assure myself.

I drew her closer, content with the warmth of her body against mine, and her scent.

Come tomorrow, comes its problems, so I internally prayed this moment never ends. Sadly, all good things must come to an end

Maya was still fast asleep by the time I got prepared and went to complete the deal with the Sakuzi.

I was in the living room with Judy while a long table was between me and Sakuzi.

His men all dressed in black suits and glasses with stoic expressions were witnesses.

”The ledger? ” Sakuzi's brow shot up.

I gestured to Judy and he handed over the ledger to one of Sakuzi's men who in turn handed the ledger to Sakuzi.

”So the deal has been made, you would not hurt the girl ” I reminded him.

”I give you my word, the girl would not be harmed as long as you keep your own word. Cause trust me Niklaus, as far as I, Sakuzi lives, you would never find happiness ”
