Chapter 275 - Two Hundred And Seventy-five: Whos Your Father (1/2)

Reina's point of view

I swore I could hear my heart pounding in my ear. For some strange reasons, that dubious smirk on Niklaus' lips scared me. But then, I was Reina, daughter of Sakuzi, and nothing on earth is supposed to scare me.

”What are you doing here?” I composed myself, making my voice deeper and displeased by his unwelcome appearance, ”You have no right to barge into my place,”

Niklaus snorted, he shot up to his feet, adjusting his collar saying, ”Fine, you want to play, let's play,”

”I don't know what you're talking about but you have to leave my place or else..”

”Or else what?” he challenged my threat, using that opportunity to draw nigh to me.

Great, I'll probably have to fight my way out of here.

He was approaching me the way a predator would to a prey. He wanted to tie me down to a corner where he could trap me easily but I saw through his plan. This is why we're moving away from each other with tactically calculated steps.

”I might look simple Niklaus, but you don't want to mess with me,” I said to him, eyeing his movements.

”So tell me then, Maya, who's your backer?” he smiled sexily.

Oh, was he trying to charm me into spilling the truth? Nice try. Just because I was extremely attracted to him - I finally admit that- doesn't mean I'm going to spill the whole can of beans to him. Moreover, you heard; he's ready to play the game.

”You must be so curious to know,” I bit my lips seductively, watched the way his eyes flickered to it, he swallowed greedily.

”Yes, I want to know,” He added, ”Neither are you denying you're Maya,” He noticed that.

I'm tired of pretending.

”Catch me,” was the only word I said to him and jumped over the sofa intending to reach the entrance door when someone pushed me to the ground with all his weight.

”Oof!” The breath was knocked out of my lungs as I landed on my stomach. Discovering he was crushing me with his weight, Niklaus got up to his feet, pulling me up with him.

”Ouch, that hurts,” I yelped when he grabbed my hand together from behind, my back turned to him.

”If you think you can beat me at this game again, Reina? Then, you're in for a loss,” He hissed into my ear, the heat sent shivers down my spine.

I laughed, throwing my head back on his shoulder, and watched as his eyes rested on the swell of my breast. He gulped, turns out I wasn't the only one turned on.

”Where are my kids, Reina?! ” He growled, trying to fight against the attraction between us which I'm hundred percent sure he can feel.

”Your kids are fine, Niklaus,” I answered.

I don't know how he confirmed I was Maya but he was still slightly stunned when I admitted to being her.

”Can you unhand me, now?” I asked of him, head still resting on the crook of his shoulder - And men, the view from my position was sexy.

”No, I don't trust you,” He answered without hesitation.

”Ouch, that hurts. So you don't trust Maya?” I purred, deciding to do some emotional and physical manipulation, intentionally rubbing my backside against him.

His breath hitched but Niklaus showed no other reaction to what I was doing to him. Fine, Let's see how much he's going to last.

”I trust Maya but I don't trust Reina and right now you're Reina. So where are my kids, Reina?” he demanded.

I chuckled, ” If you want to know where Allen and Ailee are, you would have to torture the truth out of my mouth - which I know you can't do- So make this easier on yourself by letting me go,” I gave him a way out.

I knew Niklaus loved Maya- technically me- too much to hurt her. But this was for his good, the moment he walks into my father's place to get the twins, he becomes a lamb to the slaughter. I don't even dare to think what my father would do to him. I don't want to find out at all.

”Guess what Reina?” Niklaus looked down into my eyes, holding it, ”I fully intend to torture you,”

”What?” There was confusion on my face, what was he going to do?

Then I felt it, sensed his hands slip inside my shirt. Oh no, it dawned on me, I knew what he was planning.

”Niklaus, don't,” I tried to struggle out of his grasp but he single handedly held my hands too tight.

”You don't understand that I'm protecting you here,” I said.

”Well, I gave you too many chances but you leave me with only this choice. Though I don't know what you're protecting me from, you should know I don't need it. What I need is my kids,” He declared and moved his hand to my breast.

My breath quickened as his hand started cupping, rubbing my breast through the bra.
