Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 113 - One Hundred And Thirteen : Back In Her Arms

The third point of view :

Tina was burning with fury, how dare she! How dare that illegitimate bastard from the slums mess with her?! She wanted to rip Maya apart, watch her plead for mercy on her knees….. albeit the time to bestow her wrath on her was drawing nigh.

Tina has achieved her first step of the plan: Keeping Niklaus away from Maya. Now she has achieved breaking both of them up, she has to make Nik forget that damn girl. And when he finally does, revenge would come at full force.

Without Niklaus's backing, she currently has the liberty to torment that little bitch slowly. And she would start with her career, being an actress? What a joke!

"Where is the sister of that wrench?" She muttered to herself, going through her contracts while rubbing the spot on her scalp where Maya had pulled so tight.

Finally stumbling upon Kim's number, she called her up at once

"How's everything going from your side? " Tina asked once the call was answered.

"Successful, the public is against her "gloated Kim from the other end

Tina's lips curled up, " Good, keep up the good work. At least this would teach that bitch where she belongs " She relished the feeling of wracking Maya's life.

Unfortunately, Tina's expression shifted when she heard Kim said,

" But… .we have a problem "

Her laughing tone changed to a less friendly one "What's wrong "

"No matter how much I dug, Maya's record is scrupulously clean so I can't feed the reporters any shit about her. Moreover, a few minutes ago, every negative post about Maya was forcefully brought down "

A sharp glint appeared in Tina's eyes and she began to work her jaw, deep in thoughts. Who is it this time?? Who's set on ruining her plans? It couldn't be Niklaus, he has enough trouble on his hands at the moment.

"Are you still there? "Kim asked.

Tina finally spoke into the phone," Withdraw for now and watch from the sidelines. Once there's an opportunity you strike "

" Alright," Kim agreed.

"Good. Now have a nice da- "

"Miss Tina, I need a bit of cash " Kim dropped before she could end the call.

A scowl made its presence known on Tina's face and her voice climbed up a notch," What do you mean you need some cash? I sent thousands to you just two days ago, do you think I pluck money from a tree?!" she yelled at that bitch.

The whole family was the same, Gold diggers, they want to drain her pocket.

Just because she was rich and an heiress doesn't mean she spends like the world is ending. She had projects to fund - huge thanks to Niklaus - She shouldn't be wasting her resources like this.

"I know. But some of the reporters that helped me out are demanding more, " Kim complained.

Demand my ass, Tina sneered. She knew that little witch wanted to leech more money off her.

Tina wanted to scream at her but she calmed down, it was not the right time yet. She still needed Kim for a lot of things besides, Niklaus must never find out she has anything to do with Maya's current predicament.

Kim was the right choice, yes she was smart yet greedy, she would do anything for money and power; she clearly understood the risk.

The little witch knew Niklaus would never let her nor her family off again if he dared discover she messed with Maya yet she jumped right into the deal because of the cash involved.

Besides they worked together, She has to ensure Niklaus cares less and less about Maya until he eventually forgets her, while Kim deals with the little bitch in secret.

Niklaus would never imagine she and Kim were working together as far as she treads carefully, at least until she has him wrapped around her good-looking fingers.

Then she would have the full authority to deal with that girl called Maya the way she wants to, without Niklaus's interference.

"Fine, you would receive a package before the end of the day " She gave in reluctantly.

"Thanks so much, I'll work hard..." Kim was still saying when she disconnected the call and groaned in frustration.

"Ugh, those leeches! " She gripped her hair tightly, drawing a painful yelp from her lips.

"Goddammit! Where is that stupid housekeeper?! " Tina yelled, eyes darting around the room for her.

She had been waiting in Niklaus's room for a long time now, awaiting his return.

Her cheeks were red and swollen from Maya's slaps on her face. She left it that way on purpose: Once Niklaus returns and sees her face in that state, she would break down in tears and narrate to him what Maya did to him.

"I realized my mistakes and was just apologizing to Maya when she assaulted me physically " Tina went over the lines in her head, how perfect.

Tears weren't a problem for her, she had experienced and received a lot of lessons from a young age, so acting was as easy as ABC.

An evil smile graced her face, with her antics and body, she would have Niklaus back in her arms where he belongs in no time.

Her attention was attracted when the door was opened causing her expression to light up.

" Nikla- " Her face fell, it was the stupid housekeeper.

"I'm sorry " Amanda apologized and stretched the ice pack in her grip towards her.

"Why are you such a slowpoke, what took you so long?! " She yelled while snatching the ice pack from her.

"I'm sorry " Amanda bowed her head in apology, "I had to attend to Sir Niklaus "

"Are you giving me excus - wait, Niklaus is here?! " her eyes widened in surprise.

"Yeah, he came back about twenty minutes ago or so, I didn't exactly check the time "

"Why didn't you tell me?! "

"I just told you " Amanda sassed back but managed to keep her tone down. This rich brat was getting on her nerves, does she look like her personal servant?

Tina was tongue-tied, so she glared at her. She took a deep breath and faked a smile? " Where is he? "

" He's in Maya's room "

"Maya?! " Tina's eyes flashed red, anger surging through her veins. What was Niklaus doing in that girl's room? No! She had to do something.

She tossed the ice pack to Amanda with no care and started down the stairs.
