Chapter 29: Twenty - Nine : The Spencer Clan
Nik's Pov
It wasn't surprising when the old man requested my presence, nothing goes past his ears anyway. I breath deeply wondering why the hell I let Judy guard her in the first place but thinking about it, the reason seems numerous.
The girl's clumsy with the ability to magnet trouble wherever she goes and naive, I truly wondered how she survived this world on her own these past years. She's intelligent but certainly not brilliant but I got to give it to her, she's quite tough to deal with.
I chuckled, realizing it was her naivety that made her stand out from other women, it made her cute in a special type of way.
I only hope our future baby inherit's my intellectual gene and not her's else there would be trouble but truly I wouldn't mind another miniature version of Maya cause she'll be treated specially and definitely loved, I'll just have to learn to handle the double trouble.
"We're here sir" My chauffeur announced snapping me out of my thought. My eyes widened at once, what shit have I being thinking about all this while? I groaned, knowing I would slowly go crazy if I keep this up.
I stepped out gracefully staring around and inhaling the fresh morning air. Not even looking intimidated by the magnificent castle nor the endomorphic looking bodyguards guarding it . So I walked in hoping to settle this as soon as possible.
The Oldman was in the sitting room feeding and scratching a caged colourful parrot on the head.His posture was free and spirited as he continued making squawking sounds which the bird imitated.
"For an Oldman you do have a lot of free time disturbing a busy man " I remarked with heavy sarcasm while he tilted his head slightly barely acknowledging my presence.
So I gently took a seat waiting for the man who was immersed in his quiet time with the bird, though the parrot didn't really grab the concept of quiet cause it kept singing with its ever changing mixture of gurgles, trills, whistles and squawking sounds.
"Lo how long do ye ignore me O oldman ?" I taunted using a Shakespearean accent .
He glared at me as my lips revealed a smirk, I knew he hated that word 'Oldman ' but it felt good to get on his nerve
"You young generation " he started, breaking his colourful suspense "With no respect nor regard for the older generation." He frowned deeply before he continued " I married your late mother at age twenty so I wonder how old I really am"
I stiffened at once,I hated the memories of my mom being brought up.
" I have no time for our parrot and monkey time over Maya so I'm gonna cut straight to the chase "
I stood abruptly, halting the man's movement to feed his parrot. " Don't dare touch her, she belongs to me " I warned with a deep ferocity that even stunned me talk more the Oldman that was struck dumb.
After a deep stare off, he suddenly chuckled leaving me cautious than ever. The Oldman could look gentle and kind but I only knew how cruel and destructive he could be.
"You know I named her Maya " He said and I followed the direction of his gaze only for it to rest on the bird. I scoffed, how could he compare that ugly bird to my pretty Maya.
"Warm, cheerful and most of all a good company just like her " he muttered stroking the bird's head lovingly but I caught a glint of disdain in his eyes which he hid perfectly well.
"I love that girl " He confessed and my eyes narrowed at once, what's he trying to say?
"Out of all your playthings she's my most beloved and I would've taken her if only you haven't claimed her as yours"
My body stiffened with my fist clutched as I glared daggers at him but he ignored me.
His affectionate gaze deepened as his hands trailed from the birds head down to it's neck
"But I wouldn't trade her for your safety " His affectionate demeanor suddenly turned cold and his hold on the bird tightened as it flapped its wings struggling for survival.
"I wouldn't let anything nor anyone compromise your safety cause you can always find a thousand Maya out there and even if you don't, I'll gladly clone one for you "
He retorted and suddenly wriggled the parrot's head, successfully separating the head from the body with the blood splattering on its cage and on his hands.
A normal human being would've thrown up, cower in fear or shuddered but I stood unmoved, not even a bit shaken. Being nurtured in the Spencer family was one thing but being raised as a successor from birth was another story all together .
Being a successor was a huge weight and responsibility that I had to carry on my shoulder .It was a position destined for me from womb, I had to undergo trainings a normal human being wouldn't dare go through, done and seen things others wouldn't , so this was just a tip of the ice.
The only reason why Kay easily got into our family was of two reasons. Poppy love and business benefits . I was too young then to understand that there was a whole deal to love, that it wasn't just something to be trampled with easily cause it stings and scarcely heals.
Moreover Kay Wilson and I have being childhood sweethearts so it only made sense for us to end up eventually together and a concrete connection with the Wilson family would insure and solidify our business operations, so a relationship with them meant more business opportunities and collaborations.
It was quite obvious that Kay was a spoiled brat cause every of her requests were granted on a whim.
At first it was just an engagement but then she decided to move in with me which I objected but Kay had great persuading powers that could even convince a king to give up his throne.
Thanks to the drugging I never knew Kay was already pregnant with our baby until both families discovered it by chance but kept mum, instead decided we should have a wedding.
They kept me in the dark until Kay's belly started showing and I figured everything out and all feelings of love began to dissipate one after the other.
I felt betrayed and devastated, how could they keep such huge development from me?
Thankfully Kay was two years older than me so she was officially eighteen but it was still risky since it was her first child so a lot of care and medical attention were showered upon her.
Then, she wouldn't even dare take a step without a medical practitioner helping her out.
Because I wasn't officially the legal age to get married, our emergency marriage was hidden from the public eye so it wouldn't cause negative reviews that'll damage the company's reputation until Isabelle turned four.
It was quite obvious that humans have varying ideas and opinions, so what could be seen as nothing to someone could become a big deal to someone else's.
Even though I was sixteen then, somatrotopin spurt made it so possible that I could easily pass off as an adult. Till date not even the public knows the real date I got married cause whatever sealed shut by the Spencer clan would definitely remain so till God knows when.
"Dispose her " The Oldman ordered
"Or you could assign her a shadow guard" I suggested
Our eyes met and without telling, you could see the power struggle there. Neither of us was willing to back down and it wasn't surprising how stubborn I can be since I'm officially a Taurus and one needn't to be told how headstrong a bull can be.
"She's not a member of this family " He defended subtly.
Truth be told, only members of this family by blood, adoption or marriage are assigned a shadow guard . Other than that, impossible .
If not done that way, my spoilt relatives would definitely want their boyfriends and girlfriends be assigned a shadow guard.
Even though I was officially the new family head but as an old one, my dad still has a lot of influence and decision making power. I still haven't gotten a lot of powerful relatives over to my side.
"But she would if she bears my heir "
The Oldman stiffened at once, the only way an outsider would be able to get a shadow guard without the named procedure would be to conceive a seed.
The Spencer clan never joke with a heir, be it a male or female once you truly have the blood of the Spencers running through your vein you belong already.
"Which she hasn't " came his reply, a victorious grin on his face
"You've indeed being keeping a tab on me but don't worry I'll pluck out your spies amongst my people one after the other " I promised him with my gaze holding his but the man definitely didn't seem disturbed.
"I suggest this discussion over and you'll do as I said " he ordered but I stood unmoved , a mad glint in my eyes as I faced him.
"Fine then, I guess I just have to go to grandpa, I'm sure he would definitely grant the request of the apple of his eyes " I revealed my intentions at once, all smiles faltering from his face
"You dare not! "
"Oh you know I never break a promise " I reminded him with a devilish smile tugging at my lips.
For reasons best know to them and one I didn't bother to investigate, my father detest his father as much as I detest him.
Getting both of them together is like getting a nuclear and atomic bomb to detonate at same time, they both are powerful and destructive.
Nor of them see eye to eye on a lot of issues but fortunately for me, I'm the most beloved of all his grandkids, just as Isabelle was the Oldman's dearest.
Maybe because I spent half my childhood with my grandpa , he showers a lot of love on me that brought a lot of disagreement and conflicts in our family which was probably why dear cousin Eden hates me, Kay issue set aside.
The Oldman sighed defeated, it was obvious that even without him agreeing , my grandpa was going to grant my request anyway.
"Fine, I'll think about it but don't think the others would accept it readily "
"Whether they accept it or not, I'm officially the new head of the family so my decision remains final moreover grandpa's vote overrules theirs already " I said conclusively and stomped away, a victorious grin plastered firmly on my face.
I had hardly stepped into my car when I felt my phone vibrate. Surprised , I discovered judy sent me a few mails. Inquisitively, I opened my mail only to have my breath knocked off.
I froze taking in the picture as I glared at the couple passionately making out in the sent picture.
My jaw tightened as my eyes glittered with a killer intent, I hardly left for a few hours and she was already hooking up with my cousin.
As if that wasn't enough, I suddenly received an alert of forty million dollars credited into my account.
I sneered inwardly , did she think she could get rid of me that easily .
With a deep frown, I picked my phone and called judy right away
"What's up? " his grim voice came alive. One could tell he abhorred my call right now but I at once released a stern but shocking order
"Lock her up"
"????"
