The third point of view
There was no way on earth he was letting her return to Niklaus, Eden thought. Maya was different from other women he has socialized with in the past and present; she was like a breath of fresh air, no wonder Niklaus fell hard for her.
Perhaps he liked her - no, he liked her but not to the extent of being called love and he wanted it to remain that way, he still had great plans for her.
But as perfect as Maya was, she had too many flaws: she was intelligent yet naive; headstrong yet unwary. Albeit what she had gone through in the hands of some people, she still had faith in same damned humanity
It was hard to believe that people like her still existed but Maya had extremely bad luck to have associated with Spencers; his family was a hellhole filled with betrayers and selfish people.
