Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 61 - Sixty-one : Niks Illegitimate Son.

Maya's POV

I couldn't wait to get home, so when we finally pulled up at the mansion, I climbed out as quickly as my legs could carry me and shut the door close without a side glance nor goodbye.

Eden was beginning to scare me, not that kind of intimidating fear Niklaus always carries about but the creepy fear that sends shivers down one's spine.

He didn't complain as well and drove away as if the devil was on his heels. Perhaps because I was a lot distracted , I didn't notice the figure standing beside the huge intimidating gate that guides Nik's mansion and when I did notice, I was stunned.

What is this woman doing here?

She was incredibly beautiful, definitely Niklaus type - that is if he prefers women with soft curves in all the right places and not those broomstick like models that graces his arms times without number.

I looked down and saw a kid probably around Izzy's age holding her hand.They were looking around the mansion as if looking for someone, could it be *gasp * my imagination running wild at once.

Could it be that she was once Nik's lover and the kid.... Oh my God. Does it mean Niklaus has an illegitimate son?!

I felt dizzy all of a sudden. No maya calm down, I tried to assure myself .

Suddenly a white miniature version of myself wearing a white gown that covered her legs with real white feathers attached to her back while having a circle of light over her head appeared on my right shoulder.

I wiped my eyes, What the fuck .

But the tiny angellike me still stands there and softly says to me "I have come to remind you that throughout the years of Nik's lustful rendezvous, there has never being reports of Nik fathering an illegitimate child nor has any woman claimed to have birthed a child for him, So why worry yourself? "

My eyes widened, was this angel here to help me out with this situation? Wow, thank-you God! This was definitely help sent from above.

But thinking about it, which women would dare allege they have a child for Nik - His dark gaze alone was enough to make anyone pee in their pant. So think this through like the smart girl you are, Maya.

As if that was not enough, a red miniature version of myself with pointed horns at both sides of her head, short tail but having a triangular shape at the end while clasping tight a trident, appeared on my left shoulder. She was wearing nothing but an adhesive cup bra and some skimpy material tied at the edge of her waist while two white fangs were sticking out her mouth. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

The red devillike 'me' pulled me by my ear and said " What are you , ten ? would Niklaus even tell you he has an illegitimate kid somewhere? He hardly even opens up to you so what makes you think he would tell you of his hidden kid. Besides, look at the kid."

The red devil pointed with her trident and I turned to look at the kid , they were still focused on the gate and so had their back turned to me.

The red 'me' continued " Can't you see the colour of his hair, looks the same as Nik's and I bet when he turns around, he'll be Nik's spitting image ! " She declared firmly and I couldn't help but begin to have doubts in my mind.

She was indeed right, though we have been progressing in this relationship of ours slowly - Yeah slow but steady wins the race.

But Nik has being holding out a lot on me - he practically knows everything about me but I know zero to nothing about him aside from the ones I already know which are quite obvious to everyone already.

But anything deeper, he doesn't let me in. I feel like he thinks I can't handle the shock, the weight , the responsibilities but I'm not some fucking China doll!

Yes, I'm weak but I'm not fragile, I've had quite my own share of life too. I've seen things , gory, depressing, you name it, I've seen and experienced such things too but I survived.

And how in the world am I supposed to trust him if he can't share a little of his past ? His childhood?. cause whenever I bring up such topics, he just filters through his memories and tells me the usual happy ending stories.

But unfortunately I want to hear the bitter ending stories too. I want to know the circumstances that forced and shaped him into being the man he is today. Is that a lot to ask for?

" You! " Tiny Angellike 'me' thundered " Don't confuse the young girl and return to wherever you came from"

Tiny Devillike 'me' gibed " Hey you goody two shoes ! mind your business, don't you see I'm trying to open her eyes here?! "

Tiny Angellike 'me' threatens " Don't let me banish you to the abyss again ! "

"Y-you! " Tiny devillike 'me ' chokes and then disappears in a cloudy puff only to reappear on my right shoulder, right beside the tiny Angel.

The both of them suddenly begins this loud chattering and heated arguments that began to make my heart throb painfully.

" Stop! " I screamed and the both of them disappears in a cloudy puff while I was teleported back to reality.

What the fuck, I've being indulging myself in my own fantasy all this while? 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

Unlikely for me, my scream earlier attracted the little boy's attention , who then tugged on his mom who had earphones in her ears, moving her head to the music she was listening to.

" This is it " I took a deep breath when she finally noticed me and braced myself for whatever was to come.

But contrary to what I expected, she put on the most friendliest smile I've ever seen and began to walk towards me.

What even baffled me the most was the boy's hair I had interpreted earlier as brown was actually blonde - the same as his mom. So what actually happened? why did I see differently - tsk tsk, no wonder the devil is the father of all liars, he almost tricked me.

" Hi, I'm Cecil and this is my son Pedro " She introduced herself with a handshake while pointing to her son afterwards.

"Hi, I'm Maya " I accepted the handshake " Nice to meet you Pedro "

"Nice to meet you too, miss Maya" Pedro greeted in his clear childish voice.

Maya fought the urge to ruffle him on the hair, the boy was too adorable, where did this cute little angel come from?

"How may I help you? " Maya asked and gulped nervously. She started chanting "Please don't be Nik's lover in her head " in her head.

"I just moved into the neighborhood today and want to get acquainted with my neighbors, so that my son at least can get a playmate " Cecil introduced herself.

Maya sighed heavily - mentally. She released the breath she has been holding for a while now, no one knows how happy and relieved she was right now.

"You must be the mistress of the house, the security wouldn't let in me without an approval from the mistress or master " She asked inquisitively.

I blushed hard at her words, seriously I wasn't the mistress yet *blush * blush

"Well, sort of " I answered, palming my heated cheeks.

Behave like a sensible lady, Maya!

"Truth be told" Cecile confessed with a solemn expression "I'm a single mother and I'm might not always be available in the future, its my son permitted to come over incase of an emergency "

" Of Course, he's permitted right away " I accepted her request right away. Contrary to what I was thinking earlier, this woman was surprisingly gentle, humble and friendly, moreover I didn't sense any malevolent intent from her - Yeah, I'm trusting my sixth sense.

Moreover I respect hardworking single moms.

" How rude of me! " I gasped "please let's go inside, even if for a cup of tea " I offered her but she shook her head.

" No, I don't want to impose on you guys "

"That's impossible" I laughed and took her son's hand in mine tenderly and said

"Besides, I'm sure Pedro and Izzy would work out just fine "
