Niklaus' point of view
"Maya, let me send you abroad," I suggested, knowing this was the best approach to resolve this problem at the moment.
"What?" Maya sat up with a jerk, bringing the sheet around her chest, "You are fucking kidding me, Niklaus"
"Listen to me, Maya" I braced her cheeks with my palms," I'm not as powerful as many people think. I might be the newly elected family head but this is still my father's regime until two years later.
"That man is crueler than you think and since he dislikes you, he'd try to harm you. But I have my own people who can keep you away from harm once you leave this place" I pleaded with her but of course, the stubborn ass wouldn't listen.
"I'm not leaving, Niklaus!" Maya stood her ground. She climbed out of the bed, taking the sheet with her and leaving me cladded in nothing.
