Chapter 160: Gathering Of The Aces

With my low but husky tone, narrowing my hazel eyes, I scanned him. Holding an assertive presence, with my head high in pride, I pondered.

"I did nothing. I sat back and enjoyed the show."

"Are you sure? I don't think I should trust your judgment. There is a reason why he is above all of us. He will trick us before our eyes and we won't be able to detect it.” I spoke sternly.

I couldn’t believe in Nathaniel, he was too powerful.

"He is arrested. He surrendered. How low or what you said, 'tricky', he can get?" Sufiyan shrugged his shoulders.

"Do you think you can trick me?" I smirked, putting my leg down and leaning forward which made Sufiyan serious.

"Do you not trust me?"

"I most certainly don't."

I was a man of pure manipulation and word play and Sufiyan was aware of my tricks more than anyone. I couldn't fool him.

Narrowing my eyes, I decided to prick him to render him unable to think properly.

"So... Do you think I made the wrong choice?"

As expected, my question wiped Sufiyan's smirk, replaced it with a scowl to recall what we did to him and how badly he controlled his resentment for us.

"Don't force me to recall what I murdered, Zaviyaar." Sufiyan growled, leaning forward, detesting the smirk on my lips.

"Or else I will kill you." Sufiyan warned seriously, hissing at me which made me laugh menacingly.

Ah, him and his fury.

Maybe truly the misery in our lives was the result of our actions.

"Ah, do you want to join Alphonse and Nathaniel's league? I would gladly take your position as a brother. I will take good care of your work in India." I chuckled, ruining his mood entirely.

"Fortunately, I don't see you as a brother. You are ‘not’ my Brother." Sufiyan scoffed, rolling his eyes off but the clenched jaw visibly showed his fury.

Ah, I had pissed him off.

I replaced my amusement by a stern glare arousing a thick seriousness as I warned him seriously.

"Make sure not to become second Nathaniel then, Sufiyan."

We were aware of Sufiyan's importance for our business and we must join hands no matter how unfavorable it sounded.

"I won't and if I drown... I will take you along. If you think I don't know about you angelic dancer then you are wrong."

Smirking dryly, I looked away, knowing I held Sufiyan's heart in my palm but risking her for my selfish purpose was unacceptable.

Tsk, damn him, well aware of my weakness.

"You can't threaten me, I don't care honestly. If I couldn't get one toy then my bad luck." I hummed, rising from my seat, making a failed attempt to sound uncaring.

“Oh, why do I forget? You are a Heathen, of course, you lie,”

But, he saw through me clearly.

“Who knows?” I smirked, shrugging my shoulders.

"Yeah, I expected this reaction from you. But, for now, let's see what to do now."

Sufiyan scoffed when we both looked out of the window for a split second as Sufiyan spoke of the unavoidable future.

"Nathaniel, what exactly are you planning?"

I smirked darkly and gave Sufiyan's shoulder a pat, walking away with a piece of advice.

"Witness. This is what happens when your love becomes your obstinacy."

I was about to walk away, Sufiyan growled, not liking my words.

“Shut up. Just because your love found it’s end and ill fortune, don’t consider us among you,”

“Whatever, you will see. Such emotions are not for people like us.”

“So, are you coming to America for the execution or not? Sebastian might cause a bloodshed, if he did then we have to work together and kill him,” He sighed, not arguing further.

“Oh, how can I miss this chance? I want to see what Nathaniel will do and what Sebastian’s take would be on it,”

“Then be ready to kill or be killed,”

Flashing a malicious hint, everyone was prepared to start a war and steal the highest position, we were resolved to kill.

But, surprisingly nothing we anticipated occurred.

Nathaniel’s actions shook the balance, and we were prepared for Sebastian’s ambush, for a blood bath, worse than Valencia’s time.

But, nothing, freaking, happened.

How odd.

After the so-called execution of Nathaniel, we were in the VIP lounge as the whole hotel was reserved only for us and no one was present.

Cops were searching for us too but since the Aces had their identities hidden, it was hard for them to detect who it could be among the thousands ones.

"Zaviyaar."

I was engrossed in my phone until Sebastian called me strictly.

"Hmm?"

"Stop Asad from interfering with my life. If he dared to meddle between me and wife then I am warning you already- I will kill Asad." He threatened me.

It wiped my amusement, causing me to glare back at him, at his damn audacity to think I would let this happen.

"I dare you to graze my brother's skin, Sebastian." I growled, placing my phone down.

"Stop him then."

And to that, Sufiyan decided to make a sensitive comment that hit all of us, including him-

"Ha, I love how one woman could make even stones vulnerable."

"Why? Are you falling for your little prey you label as 'wife'? Are you in love?"

So taking advantage of the moment, I used the harsh words too, deepening Sebastian’s rage. Obviously, he hated what image he had created.

"I am not but- She is my Deepest Desire,"

Ah, my, that explained why he had been sitting silent with no fighting.

"Should I kill her-" Sufiyan began to say and he lost it-

He took out his gun and placed it over Sufiyan's head, indirectly warning him to never fathom hurting his woman.

Wow.

But, it couldn’t be the woman only, his reason to be silent. There must be something deep.

Were him and Nathaniel in any kind of pact? Like us?

"Well, he had already killed two of his wives. Killing someone else's wife won't be difficult for him."

Not thinking deeply, I took no chill into fueling both Sebastian and Sufiyan at my insensitive remark.

"Shut up."

Sighing, he gradually pulled away, rolling his eyes.

"So, were you going to have a happy ending or not?" I asked again playfully.

Since mine had remained incomplete, I had become intertest in witnessing others, pinching his nerves

"Why don't we wait and see?" He sighed, leaning back, trying to ignore me as I loved pissing him off.

Later at night, I thought about going out and asking Sebastian where he had been leading his life. After all, I helped him.

Humming to myself, I was about to go to him but heard a voice coming from his room.

"What have you done to me, Eileen...?"
