Chapter 159 - One Hundred And Fifty-nine: Awoke The Demoness (2/2)

No wonder Adam was startled.

Today was clearly f*cked, I just kept seeing people I didn't want to see. Just an attack and the whole of them came to check on me? I never knew I was this loved - note the sarcasm.

Niklaus was certainly unsettled by the emergence of my father from my room and that was further proven when he left, walking towards the direction his father did.

Tina and I were now left alone, what a company.

She pranced over to me and sat in that same seat Adam was on minutes ago.

Why couldn't they just occupy the couch at the edge of the room, do they like being in close proximity with me that much?

”You look well ” Her eyes peered over me through her long artificial catlike lashes and scrutinized me thoroughly.

I smirked, ”Why? You thought I died? Sorry to disappoint your expectations but I'm one tough cockroach to kill ”

She crossed her leg over the other, exposing her healthy and firm thighs.

Today Tina was donning a faux leather dress that stopped at her midthigh with a belt around her waist. Her hair was brushed and gelled back till no strand was left out of place. She wore dangling earrings and painted her lips yellow today which made her look like someone who came out of a photo shoot.

”I'm not going to lie, I wished for it but then wishes are not horses,” she said.

Laughter gurgled from my throat,” You're wrong, this just means God doesn't bother with your prayers”

Tina's face changed but she was quick to cover it up with her fake smile, ”Oh don't worry, I don't need to bother God anymore cause I have already gotten what I wanted from him - Niklaus ”

She looked smug when she said and it irritated me, I still haven't forgotten what she did at that party. If she had intercepted our plans, everything would have gone fine.

”Unlike someone who fell on her knees to beg for him, mine came too easily ” I countered her attack.

”And because it came too easily, you lost him quickly”

Our eyes met, none of us was giving up on this squabble until one emerged a winner.

”No, I didn't lose him ” I clarified, ”A thief stole him away from me”

Her lips tugged to the side, ”That thief must be so smart after all, all is fair in love and war ”

I sighed, ”I thought of it too and decided to let go of him”

Her face brightened, ”You've given on Niklaus?”

”I got bored of him and decided to discard him, used toys are suitable for the likes of you ” Came my insult.

”Y-you !” She choked and raised her hand to hit me but I challenged her.

”Do you really dare to hit me? Me of all people? Seems you've forgotten our previous encounters” I jolted her memory.

Tina gulped, paling instantly with her hand falling to her side.

Victory belongs to me.

”Sure, you are free to hit me but don't forget I'm a patient and what would happen if I press  that intercom.” I said shamelessly.”I'm sure you won't mind compensating me for damages in the courtroom ”

She gritted her teeth, ”You can have the best laugh at the moment but I promise you, Maya, I'll wipe you out of the surface of this earth sooner or later”

I scratched the side of my face, amused.”Sure, get in line”

Seriously, all of them wanted me dead, what did I even do so wrong? Love someone I wasn' supposed to?

”I promise you that” Tina decreed.

I yawned, this was getting too boring and predictable but I was getting started.

Adam awoke something in me today - the taste for blood. They look down on me because of my messy background and now my mission now was to become powerful and conquer the Spencer's which could only be achieved by becoming one of them - by marriage.

Niklaus was no longer in the market and even if he was, I wouldn't pick him. My battle is with his father, so it was expected he would do everything to stop me, unlike Eden.

Adam was only Eden's uncle so he wouldn't give much shit about him. I could use Eden to achieve what I currently wanted - by getting married to him.

And once I was in the family, I would do  everything in my power to destroy that man called Adam - I would make sure he watches with both eyes as I put him through the torture he put me .

He awoke a demoness.
