Chapter 193 - One Hundred And Ninety-two: Be My SugarBaby-2 (1/2)

The third point of view

Maya was disappointed, why wasn't he revolted at her behavior? If it had been Andrew, he would have bolted by now. Even Niklaus couldn't stand this level of repugnance.

But she was not distraught, the night wasn't over yet; there were still lots of opportunities for her.

Maya almost jumped out of her skin when Sakuzi grabbed her hand without warning. She tried to pull it back but he wouldn't let her, yet Maya didn't give up thus, they began a tug of war - only that her hand was the rope being pulled at.

”I would really love my hand back,” She told him with an uneasy smile.

”Don't worry, you're having dinner with me so I don't have plans of amputating it,” he said.

What?! Maya's fighting spirit died at once. So if they weren't having this dinner, the next they would have this kind of game is when her hand's being cut off.

Christ, why was this man so violent?! Doesn't he have a family, a child her age? How can he look at his children's faces after cutting someone's hand away?

Yes, she didn't have a father but Maya thanked her God this man wasn't her father. Prank or not, she wouldn't be able to accept such horrific news.

”It's quite obvious, your hand should be smaller” Sakuzi smiled while fitting his palm with his daughter's. Unlike his big, long, callused ones, hers were much smaller yet prettier.

Maya frowned, she couldn't understand this man at once; he was getting weirder as the time passed.

When he took her hand, she was expecting him to intertwine their hands together and caress the top of her palms in a way that would disturb her.

She had already grabbed the edge of the table to prepare herself for this dreadful experience and to keep her from punching him and taking her arm back, who knew he had other plans in mind.

Maya watched him skeptically, what was so fascinating about her hand? He stared at it like a boy who found a profound love for his new toy?

Her eyes narrowed, there was something different about Sakazi today. The first day they had met, he had treated her well but there was this ominous aura surrounding him, she couldn't speak out of line then.

But today, it seems he brought the barrier down which was puzzling, why? Was it because of his sudden romantic affection for her?

Then this was bad. If she turned him down today, his mood would be the opposite of this.

Maya looked around, where was Niklaus? His arrival was the only thing keeping her from rejecting him.

”What are you looking for?”

”Nothing” she briskly answered. Gosh, this man was so suspicious.

Sakuzi smiled without her noticing, he knew she was anticipating the arrival of that son of a biscuit so he changed his plans at once.

He had initially planned on confessing his identity to his daughter but since she doesn't trust him yet, he would postpone that.

Niklaus can't know that he's her father yet, he knew what would happen afterward. Once that old fox Adam gets that knowledge, he would propose an alliance- a marriage between both sides to strengthen the families and seal all rifts- but that wasn't his goal.

This is why he can't involve himself deeply with the girl's life yet. Maya has to thirst for revenge desperately, only then can he take her away and return for the grand finale.

Everything has been planned, he has been watching from the sidelines all this time and predicted the outcome, now all he has to do is wait for the right time.

Maya was relieved when he released the once-prisoned hand but she ended up asking, ”Why did you rescue me from Gerald?”

”Who said I rescued you?” Was his question that left her confused.

”Y-you-”

”Gerald has been giving me problems, I just saw a good opportunity and struck when he least expected it,” he said.

”How do you sleep at night knowing how many people you killed?” Maya took a bold risk by asking that and saw his hand which was about to reach for the bottle of wine hesitate.

Sakuzi glanced up, their eyes meeting, ”Yin and yang .” Came his curt reply.

”Without evil, there would not be good?”

”Bingo” He lifted his wine to her

”The universe needs people like us for the earth to be complete”

”I disagree with you” Maya debated, ”Without you guys, we wouldn't need to worry about wars, robberies and a whole lots of it, we would live peacefully”

”Without us villains, what's the fun of life?” Sakuzi argued with his daughter,” What would the so-called righteous warriors fight against?

”You claim there would be peace? Yes, you're right. But there would come a point where everything becomes predictable and boring because the future is certain. But we, bring the fun and the uncertainty, the twist, the balance”

Maya was stunned, did she just discuss a sensitive topic with this man, and her head's still intact on her body? Well, maybe, he has changed ….

”And about that thing I wanted you to know about-”
