Chapter 166 - One Hundred And Sixty-six: Maya Would Regret Ever Knowing Her (2/2)

The anticipated look on Tina's face twisted into a dejected one. She had been expecting her mother to help out, respect, and support her in fighting against that illegitimate witch called Maya.

”You can't be serious,” Tina laughed, dryly.

”Of course, I'm dead serious here, my child” Queen explained desperately,

”That relationship is toxic for you, leave while you still can”

Tina pulled free her hands from her mother's clasp as if stung by a bee. She stood to her feet, walked in circles, then tousled her hair before bursting into hysterical laughter.

”Christina?” Her mother watched her this time, unsure of what to make out of this situation but she was sure of one thing as she said, ”I think we need to see a therapist, your anger is getting out of control ”

”I understand my anger perfectly!” Tina roared at her, ”But what I don't understand is you not supporting me!”

”Of course, I have and would always side with you. If I don't back you up, who then would I assist? ”

She gritted her teeth, ”Then why are you asking me to give up on Niklaus?”

Queen stood up, walked over to her, and placed a hand on her shoulder, pressing it tenderly,” Some battles are not worth dying for ”

Tina had hoped this time that she had successfully changed her mother's mind until she heard her comment. She didn't care about others' opinions- not even her father's - all she wanted was her mother's.

But it seems the woman was beginning to go soft-hearted. She swatted her hand off her shoulder in an exasperated manner.

”Then I'll rather die knowing I won than living like a coward” she spat, her chest heaving with anger.

”I don't care about that bastard, it's you I'm worried about here” Queen pointed out.

”He hit me because of that lowlife and you expect me to give up?” Tina shook her head in disappointment,” Mom, you always taught me to never give up on the things that matter to me” came her reminder.

Queen hit her on her arm, vexed.

”You stupid child, I told you to fight for the things you desire, not kill yourself over a man!”

”Then you got it right, he's my desire and I would not give up on him. I would not lose to that lowlife, Maya!”

” Christina!”

” Mother!”

”Get your head back in gear!”

”My head is alright, mother. Moreover, how are you any different than me?”

”Excuse me?”

”You're fighting against that woman too, remember?”

”Of course, I'm trying to take back what rightfully belongs to me - to us”

”Same thing here, mother. I'm taking back what that bitch stole from me”

”Christina, please stop” her mother pleaded desperately, ”Unlike me, you still have time not to make the wrong choice as I did. I've made a lot of mistakes and I'm spending the rest of my life correcting it- that illegitimate fool would not reap where they didn't sow - so please, leave the war to me. Just find a decent man - anyone but that Niklaus - I won't quibble,” she added, ”Please”

There was a calm look in her eyes and Queen was so grateful that her words finally got to her daughter.

But that eyes abruptly hardened and settled on her with blazing intensity.

”I'm sorry mother, but I've gone too far to stop” she went on, ”Moreover, you should know how much I hate illegitimate spawns. Goodbye and see you the next time I visit”

”Christina! Christina Devon, come back here this instant!” She called after her but the person in question sauntered away.

Queen broke into tears, everything was her fault. If she hadn't pampered her so much and ingrained into her mind the winning mentally, things would have been different.

Now, her daughter was hell-bent on winning a battle that was obviously not favoring her.

The moment Tina stepped out of the house, she called Kimberly at once. A look in her eyes and one could see the burning murderous intent there, her fury was flowing like molten mountain lava this time.

”Hello?”

”I need Maya to suffer” she went straight to the point without wasting time.

”Probably another time, right now I don't have anything on - ”

”It was not a request but an order” Tina's voice was cold - literally a minus 273.15 degrees celsius if measured.

”Fine, I'll do it ”

”And do it fast, my patience is thinning by each growing seconds”

”Alright, your honor” Kim said sarcastically and ended the call.

Tina didn't care about her rudeness as far as she got the job done. At this juncture she didn't care whether Niklaus finds out or not, right now she already had a backer- Adam would stand by her.

A sardonic smirk tugged her lips to the side, Maya would regret ever knowing her.
