Chapter 191 - One Hundred And Ninety-one: Mother Or Father (2/2)
Downstairs, a neat Porsche 911 was waiting for our arrival. I have always been knowledgeable about expensive cars- because I always dream of having one- so it was not difficult to recognize that one.
”I have many cars and I decided on that one also, I heard you girls like expensive things” Sakuzi who must have seen the bewilderment on my face explained.
I rolled my eyes mentally, did Sakuzi think I was going to be bought over with a car? That I would fall for him because of the money he earns through dirty means? Well, sorry to burst his bubbles, I wasn't like those girls - If only I could say this to his face boldly.
”Let's go,” I said to him.
But the moment we tried to move, a figure emerged quickly from nowhere and began to fight Emerald.
”Judy?” I was startled.
Oh my God, Niklaus must have ordered him to keep watch over me.
”Stop it, he's my friend,” I said to Sakuzi who was attracted to the fight.
”No problem, my princess but I'm interested in seeing who emerges as the winner. Don't worry, your friend won't be killed - at least ” He half-assured me.
I was horrified, this man was crazy. How could he live with all this violence?
Moreover, this was evening, the sun was still up, how could the passerby not help out? Oh well, they shouldn't help at all so they don't get themselves into trouble
Giving my attention to the fight, I watched Judy try to ram his knees at Emerald's guts but the giant held his leg and flung him away with great momentum.
”Christ! You've killed him!” I ran to Judy who was bashed into the wall with Emerald looming threateningly over him.
”Back off you big dough!” I warned him with gritted teeth.
To my surprise, Emerald moved away, it seems he still has a human conscience.
”Hey,” I helped him sit up. There was a bruise on the side of his head, busted lips and probably, some abrasions on hidden parts of his body.
”Where are they taking you?” He groaned in pain.
”Don't worry, I'm just having dinner with him” I informed him before leaning closer and whispered into his ear, ”This might sound crazy but I think Sakuzi's crushing on me”
”What?!” Judy screamed drawing that crazy man's attention.
”Keep it down,” I chided him,
”That is outrageous” he looked at Sakuzi with disgust.
”I thought so until the facts added up. But you don't have to worry about my safety until the point when I reject his feelings - it would be advisable to rescue them then ”
”I'll inform Niklaus- ”
”Princess, I don't have all the time in the world” Sakuzi interrupted us.
”Fine, I'm hoping on you for my survival,” I told him.
Taking a deep breath, I walked back to Sakuzi with fake confidence, ”Let's go, shall we?”
Sakuzi was a gentleman, he opened the door and helped me into the car before walking the other way around and got to sit beside me.
God knows I was uncomfortable throughout the ride, my stomach a knotted mess. Thoughts after thoughts rushed through my head, it was a wonder I didn't go crazy.
”How has it been like living with your mother?” Sakuzi asked out of nowhere.
I was short of words, the question was personal.
”Just because we're going for this dinner as initiated by you, doesn't mean I'm going to spill my guts to you. Mind your business” I told him firmly, surprised at my bravery.
Well, let him kill me, he has sentenced me to death anyway, postponing the inevitable wouldn't make any difference.
Sakuzi pressed ”If you were given the opportunity, would you rather live with your mother or father?”
I stiffened. Now, I was pissed off.
”Well, for your information, My father who I have no clue about, is an emotionless son of a biscuit who doesn't even know of my existence and my mom? A self-centered witch who prefers one daughter over the other. So if you asked me to choose? I would choose neither, I'm better off alone!”
