Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 249 - Two Hundred And Forty-nine: Those Cockroaches

Reina's point of view

I released a deep breath I didn't know I was holding in as Niklaus kissed the ground. If I knew meeting him would be this mentally draining and exhausting, I wouldn't have bothered at all - probably dragged this hide and seek game a little bit further.

Picking the cuff from the ground, I walked over to Niklaus and cuffed his hands from behind. This should teach him a lesson not to cuff a woman on a first date... Urm, meeting.

"And you," I grabbed the unconscious assassin by the collar and began to pull him out. Even if he wasn't here for Niklaus, who knows what he would do if he regains consciousness before him. Nobody was to touch Niklaus, he belongs to me - I'm the one to sentence him to death.

Once I made it outside the apartment, I was surprised to see more bodies littering the stairs, which could only mean that my people were here.

"You're late," I said to Andrew who was the first to make his appearance known.

"Sorry, we were a bit preoccupied," He dropped a body to the floor, "Hope you're not injured anywhere?"

At that moment I flexed my wrist that I had knocked on the floor when Niklaus tripped me - he saw that.

"No, stay back," I said to Andrew who had taken a step towards me, intending to check out the injury.

"I can take care of myself," I had him know that and brushed past him when he grabbed my arm.

"Don't touch me, you liar! " I hissed, pulling my arm from his grasp.

"What are you talking about?" he asked, confusion flickering across his gaze.

"The fact that you cheated on me and we've probably been apart for years?" I disclosed to his shock.

Yeah, being in this house today brought back some memories of how I met Niklaus and this asshole, Andrew. To think that he almost manipulated me into having feelings for him, what a bastard!

" You remembered? "

"I bet you didn't want me to," I spoke through gritted teeth.

"You need to stop being around Niklaus," He declared.

"Why?" I cocked a brow, "Because you don't want me to remember? In your dreams,"

"No, because it's for your own good. You might have loved Niklaus but you were never happy with him, he put you through many persecutions," He said, " And yes, I admit I was a fool to have cheated on you but at least, I treated you well,"

"Yeah, you obviously did," I sassed, pushed him out of my way, and turned around to meet Emerald again. The way his eyes roved between the both of us told me he knew something was up.

"Who's responsible for this attack?" I quickly distracted him.

"Riccardo Gang," he answered and though appeared nonchalant, I knew he still had something to say. This is the second time he was stumbling upon us in such an ambiguous position amid heated arguments.

"That son of a bastard," Was all I said and left downstairs, whatever happened between them - Andrew and Emerald -was none of my business.

I got treated in the car while ignoring Andrew who never took his eyes off me. It was pretty annoying- to be truthful- accidentally making eye contact with him and remembering what he did to me in the past. It was almost like watching a movie.

That night, when I got home, Father had shouted out his worries and made sure to rain his anger on the Riccardo family. This was their second attempt to hurt me - which failed miserably.

With father cleaning up the whole mess, I slept very well or so I wished, I was interrupted by nightmares upon nightmares. This time, it wasn't the same nightmare I had encountered over the years but a new one.

Thanks to that, I spent the next day cooped up in my room, doing some thinking and personal review of my current life. Some things Niklaus said to me were too important to be swept away as mere lies.

He claimed he loved me? Well, he did love tons of women in the past - I shouldn't be deceived.

But what shocked me the most was the leaked kissing episode from that restaurant. There was no need to guess that one of the workers from the restaurant must have leaked that video to the internet - not that I was complaining.

I just never thought it would go viral.

If anything, I hoped that Jennifer he called his fiancée watched this. Note: I was not doing this because I was jealous, but as far as I never had a successful relationship with Niklaus, he would never have one with another - that was my revenge, break his heart.

So it was in this process of rewatching this hot kissing video that I got a call from my kid's caretaker abroad. My brows furrowed together, who knows what those Little devils did this time?

"Hello, Zinta, what's up with the…."

"Something happened!" She screamed into the phone, which made me readjust on my bed uncomfortably.

"What is it?" I asked, my heart already slamming against my chest. I knew the kids I have and their ability to send someone to an early grave with worry.

"They somehow escape the securities here and already on their way to you.."

My soul flew out of my body.

I didn't wait to hear the rest and had already picked up appropriate clothes to change into in a flash.

"Father!" I shrieked to his office.

"Reina dear," the Oldman was scared out of his poor mind, "What is it, my princess?"

"It's the kids, they are on their way here!" I screamed in terror. My mind was so full of activity that I couldn't think straight anymore.

"How is that possible? How did they escape the security back home? I think Zinta might be mistaken. Perhaps they might be hiding somewhere and she misunderstood the whole thing," Father surmised.

"Father, it's Allen and Ailee we're talking here. They are my kids and I know what they are capable of and what catastrophe they can pull with their mind thinking together,", I reminded him.

As much as Allen was the quiet one, that didn't mean he wasn't dangerous - in fact, he was the most rebellious. Just like a green snake in green grass, his doings were usually subtle; manipulating people to do his bidding unknowingly.

Unlike Ailee who was bubbly and had no problem claiming responsibility for her actions. So you could imagine what happens when these two destructive minds come together?

A nuclear explosion!

That had been my greatest fear, Ailee talking sense into Allen! Anything could happen!

This period, Father saw reasons for concerns - having witnessed their prowess too - and called on Emerald at once.

"What is it?"

"Gather my best men, let them look into every airport in the country - my grandchildren have gone rogue. Hack into every surveillance and database, contact my backers and check all arriving flights for signs of those two cockroaches.

"Don't hold back on my resources, neither underestimate their capability. Those young kids have been given the best training and education since birth hence they are a dangerous specimen,"

My mouth couldn't help but twitch, who was he calling specimens and cockroaches? Those were the kids I incubated in my womb for six months!

"Go on, find my amazing grandchildren! Chop-chop, there's no time" Sakuzi dismissed Emerald who heeded his instruction without delay.

I couldn't sit down, pacing my father's office up and down while chewing on my nails nervously. Why were those kids so damn stubborn! I wasn't stubborn! They must have inherited that trait from their father. Yes, that must be it!

Truthfully, I was greatly tempted to pick up that phone and inform Niklaus of his kids - I shouldn't be the only one worrying like a lunatic here.

It was probably Allen who came up with this plan while the bold Aillee helped him actualize it - so much for talking sense into her brother.

As much as the kids were smart, I still couldn't help but get worried. What if some gang recognizes them and takes them hostage.

Yes, I kept the kids' existence a secret but ever since we started getting serious infiltration from other gangs, anything could happen.

The double spies could have given out my kid's identity and they could be tracking them down as well .

"You're right, " Emerald came in to confirm our fears," The kids are really here and their plan would be arriving in the next...." He checked the watch on his wrist, " Thirty minutes,"

"What are we still waiting for?" I was the first to step out of the room, gathering as many of my father's men I could call on. If there was anything I knew about Allen and Ailee, they would hide out till my anger calmed down.

But then, I wanted to catch them in my furious state so I could bring down my wrath on them. They should watch out!
