Taming A Billionaire Chapter 35

Maya's Pov
I definitely knew whom those eyes belongs to, mischevious burning amber eyes.
Izzy
I felt goosebumps all over, what's her plans this time with the camera? But no matter how hard I thought , I couldn't come up with an adequate reason so I became uneasy.
"Nik" I called out but the guy didn't give me his attention, instead he boldly slipped his hand into my shirt, lifted it up and started trailing feather kisses down my stomach
I became exasperated when this guy continued his thrilling journey so I pushed against his chest - with no success
"Seriously Niklaus cut it out "I chided, emphasizing on his full name but he pretended not to hear my order and I had to resist the urge to moan cause it'll give him the liberty to continue his act further.
"Nik! "
"Hmmm?" he hummed absentmindedly . He didn't even give his ear to me for a moment until I snapped .
I didn't know how my hands curled into fist nor when it moved, only I saw my hands raise and next, I floored him with a suckerpunch which totally knocked him out.
I know I took self defense class in the past but I never thought my skills reliable and efficient until now.
"Oof!" I let out air when his heavy body slumped on mine.Even during our passionate make out I never considered him heavy until now.
I flipped him aside gasping with the effort but releasing a sigh of relief I was finally free. I slowly bent and placed my ear on his chest trying to make out his heartbeat incase I had unknowingly killed him.
His heartbeat was steady but just to make sure , I checked out his pulse which thankfully was ok too.
He was just having a little nap.
I dragged out a heavy breath but my gaze shifted back to the handsome man sleeping innocently on my bed.
I leaned further to discover dark circles around his eyes making me frown, has he not being getting proper sleep the past few days?
Maybe me knocking him out was a good thing after all?
I checked myself out on the mirror making sure to arrange my ruffled clothes and tousled hair till I was good as new.
I had barely stepped into the living room before everyone threw questionable gazes on me well save Izzy, who knew what happened already and Eden who was nowhere to be found

"What? " I blurted out when the inquisitive gaze became too much
"What have you being doing upstairs?" Emily asked suspiciously, her gaze nearly burning me.
"A-attending to your bossy brother whom by the way is sleeping on my bed for the record "
I responded without thinking and with a frown, noticed how ambiguous my words sounded.
"Really? " She asked, her eyes lit up with surprise "How did you get him to sleep, Nik is very cautious on where he places his head on ..... " Emily trailed off as her sight landed on my neck and she let out a confusing "oh? "
I was surprised at her change in demeanor until a bell rang in my head and I realised everything at once.
Hickeys
I facepalm mentally, Nik you bastard !
I blushed scarlet red embarrassed to the core, it wasn't enough Izzy caught us in the act now he purposely put hickeys on my neck to advertise to everyone we were doing adult stuffs in my bedroom
"Where's Eden " I suddenly asked trying to divert her attention and saving myself from this embarrassing situation .
"Ah!" She exclaimed as if remembering something important "Something came up at work so he had to Leave"
I nodded in acknowledgement admiring his passionate and hardworking nature, unlike a certain person who claims to be busy but in reality was lazing around on my bed.
Thankfully Emily had a one track mind, soon enough she forgot all about Nik nor did she notice I had purposely diverted her attention.
"Breakfast is ready" Emily announced snapping me out of my thoughts
I turned to her saying softly "I'll help set up the table "
"No " She replied startling me
"Excuse me? "
"We've imposed on you a lot , so we'll handle this little chore all by ourselves "
"Count me out " Izzy made her stand clear the moment Emily made her intentions known.
"I'll help out " The ever-cheerful Annabelle announced waving her hands excitedly .
Though Emily is soft and kind but she's quite sturrborn once she makes up her mind so I had no choice than to give in.
"Fine, its not like I can stop you both anyway "I stated knowing Emily and Annabelle in cahoots was like a goat and a pig in collaboration , both weren't the strongest in the animal kingdom but were extremely tough to deal with.
While Annabelle leaped excitedly to go help Emily, I walked gloomily towards Izzy.

"What are you up-to this time? "
"As if I've ever told you my intentions "She retorted, not even passing me a glance as she glued her eyes to the screen of her phone watching a sci-fi movie.
I furrowed my brow scrutinizing this little girl in front of me, I've always had this disturbing feeling that this girl could read my intentions as absurd as it might sound
"Are you a sadist ?"I asked untentionally, I had meant to ask that mentally but I didn't when it slipped right out from my mouth.
Izzy froze, then she stiffly paused the video and turned to face me with an apathetic gaze "Excuse me? "
For some unknown reasons, I felt chills all over to the extent I didn't carelessly let out a breath
"Y-yo seem to take pleasure from my misery " I stuttered
She let out a cold smile that didn't quite reach her eyes and murmured " Trust me if I was a sadist, then your misery hasn't started "
Suddenly like a bipolar patient, she let out a vibrant smile that was capable of shaming even the sun. How could someone blow hot and cold at same time?
But then she assured me
"Don't worry, as my future mother I'll hold on to the picture as a reminisce of your romantic days with Mr Nik "
Even though that was supposed to be viewed as a compliment but instead I was scared to the bones. I couldn't help but notice one thing about this little girl - She's full of darkness.
It's no surprise that Adam made her the future successor of his company at such a young age.
He knew also of her darkness, he knew of the inexplicable extent of her abilities , he knew quite well she would be crueler than her father.
An unknown fear came upon me as I came to a startling realization.This was why Nik wanted me near her, he sees me as her saviour, as the sunshine that will light up the darkness inside of her .
I chuckled inwardly , Adam was quite a good mastermind. Even though the Spencer's have a good public image but it wasn't quite difficult to guess their affiliation with the underworld. There was no way one would be able to create such a huge conglomerate without soiling his hands in one illegal activity or the other.
To have survived so far, a lot of skeletons was obviously being kept in their wardrobe which is why, a person with a "lion heart" can only be the leader of the family and judging from the scene unfolding , the next successor after Nik's reign was obviously Izzy.
Eventhough Nik has being kind to me so far but I knew beneath that facade is a cold being willing to clear every hindrance on his way to his achievements.
But I obviously could tell, if Nik was a born leader then Izzy obviously was a born dictator and that's what Adam wants, a dictator not a leader.
So how in the world am I going to change this domineering darkness into light without ending up as the collateral damage?
"Breakfast is set, everyone to the dining " Emily announced and I murmured a thank-you mentally to her.
She just saved me from going crazy from my absurd thoughts.
I didn't know how I found myself on the dinning table nor how the meal went but I expressed relief when Emily announced she was leaving with the kids.
"Papa wants to see them " Emily said and I saw a blinding gleam in Izzy's eyes causing me to frown .
Even though Mr Adams might poise as a man way past his prime but I know he wasn't that simple, the man even though aged a bit still wields much power behind the scenes and the fact he has his eyes set on Izzy means there might be a power struggle in the future between Izzy and her dad when she comes of age .
From the adoring glint in her eyes, I could tell Izzy loves and worships her grandpa so separating them would definitely be a bad idea at the moment
To prove that, Izzy didn't wait for Emily to finish her statement, she had already walked out the door anticipatedly without even a thank-you to the host who housed her for the night or to her so thought future mother.
"Don't mind her manners, Izzy loves papa so much. The both are inseparable " Emily explained while I gave out a dry smile
"I can see why "
" So"
"So? " I asked back not understanding the expectant look on her face
"I would love for you to join us the next day we'll visit my papa, he talks about you quite a lot and I'm sure he will love to see you again "
A nervous smile made itself known on my face as I replied
"I'm sure he'll would "

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
