Chapter 116 - One Hundred And Sixteen : Commit Suicide (2/2)

I rose to his feet.

”Are you going somewhere? ”

”Yeah, I need to get Annabelle. She's almost here ” I told her and slid my hands into the pocket of my pants.

”Oh ”

”Take a shower and look around the house if you want to, contact the housekeeper or the maids if you need anything ”

”Alright ”

My gaze lingered on her more than intended, I wanted to ask if I could get her anything on my way back but I decided against it. What am I?  Her boyfriend? Nanny? - oh right, she's the nanny - ex-nanny.

I shut my mouth and left right away. Sometimes, some things were better left unsaid; just like Niklaus doesn't want to expose the fact that I was the one who leaked the deal.

The bad blood between Niklaus and Sakuzi had started that day. Hardly known to the public, Spencer Group has a subsidiary that manufactures ammunition for the military but that kind of business comes with its downside and lots of skeletons in the wardrobe.

Niklaus had a deal with Sakuzi and I leaked it, but unfortunately, Kay was the casualty loss instead of Niklaus as planned.

Nobody knows that truth except the both of us which is why I can't strike yet; the iron was still hot, it had to cool.

The wilson family were still angry over Kay's death, one wrong move could turn my plans to smithereens and get me toasted in the process.

Niklaus knows I can't shake him off that position at the moment, but I was gathering enough dirt on him just as he was doing on me, but we will see who the Spencer elders  chooses in the end.

I checked my Patek Philippe watch, it was over seven o'clock pm and Annabelle wasn't here yet. I began to get worried, just when I thought of calling them up, their car arrived at the bus station.

I opened my door and climbed out of the car with a delightful smile on my face and outstretched hands

”Annabelle, my sweet…. ”

The smile on my face froze the moment I saw Isabella came into view instead.

I frowned, what the f*ck was going on? Why was Isabella here? Where was my daughter?

The other backseat door opened,  instead of seeing my daughter, a pretty blond-haired boy stepped out. Where is this organism from? What the hell is going on?

Just when I was about to explode, a high-pitched shout halted me.

” Dad! ” She screamed.

I let out a sigh of relief unknowingly.

” My lovely daughter ”

She ran into my embrace and I hugged her so tight, I thought something happened to them.

”Dad, I'm sorry for bringing Izzy and brother Pedro without your permission ” She apologized the moment she pulled away.

My brows furrowed in confusion and glanced at the boy ”Brother Pedro? ”

” He's my friend ”

”Anabelle, this is not a school excursion ” I chided her, causing her to lower her head dejectedly. Suddenly, she lifted up her head and displayed quivering lips and teary irresistible eyes.

God, Annabelle. How can I say no to you with that look?

”Fine, they can come along ” I gave in finally and she began to leap up and down in celebration.

It's hard to believe but Niklaus's brat Isabella behaved herself and didn't cause any trouble till we got home.

I handed the children over to the housekeeper to take care of and went to check up on Maya since I couldn't find downstairs.

I knocked on her door but no reply came. I tried again and again but no answer, so I thought she was asleep and turned to climb down the stairs when I heard the sound of glass breaking.

This time, I didn't hesitate to open the door since my print was already installed on all the doors in the house.

I couldn't find Maya in her room nor balcony, but not the bathroom. I rushed into the bathroom and my first sight landed on the broken glass and the spilled red liquid and then…...

Maya submerged in the bathtub just as the last bubble escaped her mouth.

Did she just commit suicide?
