Authoress’ pov ?
LA city hospital… 6:12pm…
“What do you have in your hand?” Aunt Bell asked Denzel for the second time.
Denzel shakes his head and hides his hands behind him, he’s staring at his aunt like a deer catch in a daylight.
“Show me your hand!” She said.
He refuses, Aunt Bell sighs and sits besides him on the bed..takes unconscious steps back.
“Denzel, I told you, if you want us to go back home early..be a good boy and stop eating candies for now!”
Denzel stares at her with his big round eyes, his eyes are a replica of Anastasia’s.
“Come on, ’em over!” She said opening her hands before him.
“I’m not hiding nothing!” Denzel lied.
Aunt Bell eyes him, thinking of how to get those candies from him… because she knows clearly that’s what he’s hiding behind him.
She sighs and reaches for Denzel’s medicines in the drawer.
“I guess I’ll just have to give you your medicine then…go on, finish your candies quickly and take your medicine!”
Denzel’s eyes grows wide, he quickly brings his hands forward and submits all the candies he’s hiding.
“What are these, Denzel…these candies are enough to set up a candy bar!” Aunt Bell exclaims at the amount of candies.
She stares at him in shock, while he simply blinks his eyes innocently.
“I’m gonna keep them very safe for you, you’ll get them back after we leave the hospital…ok?”
He doesn’t reply, he stares as his aunt packs them into an empty jar…he stares longingly.
“Aunt, can I at least have one?” He asked softly.
“No…candies are not good for kids!”
“But I saw other kids buying them too, they all said candies are sweet…I..I just wanna taste it”
Aunt Bell smiles.
“Denzel, you’re different from those kids…..”
“I’m a freak?” He cuts his aunt off.
She frowns at him, wondering how he got to know that word…she knows Denzel isn’t one to give up easily.
He, calling himself a freak is so not him… unless someone called him that. She thought.
“Who taught you that?”
He didn’t reply, he stares down at his fingers as he plays with them.
“Denzel, who taught you that? Did someone called you a freak?”
He nods but still doesn’t raise his head.
“Who called you a freak?”
“A girl at the candy shop..I..I..just wanted to be her friend but…she said I’m a freak and don’t want to be friends with a freak…”
Aunt Bell nods, her frown not leaving her face.
“Why did she called you a freak? Did you have a fight with someone?”
“No…she said I’m a freak because I didn’t wanna buy candy like other kids…she said all I know is water and mangoes!”
Aunt Bell sighs deeply, she turns Denzel to face him. She puts her finger under his chin and raises his head up..making him stare at her face.
“Don’t listen to her, she doesn’t know the consequences for eating candies yet… should I tell you?”
He nods.
“One, a kid who always eats candy tends to suffer from decay cavity…”
“Decay cavity?”
Aunt Bell nods.
“What’s that?”
“It means, they’ll suffer from toothache later or sooner!”
He nods in understanding.
“Two, they also suffer from stoma….”
Aunt Bell was cut off as the door opens and doctor Hemsworth walks in… Denzel quickly hides behind his aunt.
Hemsworth sees him and laughs lightly.
“Ok…I see Denzel is hiding from me?” He said.
He pretends as if he’s looking for Denzel, like he can’t see him behind his aunt…
Doctor Hemsworth looks under the bed, in the drawers and glance around.
“Ms Bell, have you seen Denzel today?”
Aunt Bell shakes her head.
“No, doctor. I wonder where he is, I have been looking for him since morning!”
Denzel peeps through his aunt’s shoulder, he sees doctor Hemsworth scratching his head.
Deeply in thought with his back facing Denzel… Denzel move away from his aunt and jumps on Hemsworth’s back.
“Boo!” He yells in Hemsworth’s ear.
Although, Hemsworth is already used to this, he still pretend like he’s surprised..to make Denzel happy.
“Hoo hoo hoo! Denzel has been here all along!” He said.
He turns Denzel around a few times before sitting him back on the bed.. he takes Denzel’s hand and feels his pulse.
“How are you feeling today?” He asked Denzel.
“Good!” Denzel replies.
Hemsworth nods with a smile.
“I can see that…well, you’re leaving the hospital next week!”
“Really?!” Denzel asked.
Hemsworth nods and before he knows it, he’s engulfed in a tight hug… Denzel’s arms wrapped around his neck.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you… you’re so cool, doctor Hemsworth!” Denzel said happily.
Hemsworth simply smiles, he couldn’t help but share the boy’s joy.
“Alright, Denzel, I wanna speak with your Aunt!”
Denzel nods and lets go of him, doctor Hemsworth walks out with aunt Bell..they shut the door to prevent Denzel from hearing their conversation.
“Doctor, tell me the truth. Is Denzel really leaving the hospital next week?”
“Yes, we have found a kidney..though it’s healthy but we still have a series of test to be done on it..hence, Denzel’s operation commence next tomorrow!”
Aunt Bell stares at him as if she’s waiting for him to say he’s just joking…but he didn’t.
“Really?!”
“Yes, Ms Bell”
Aunt Bell just opens and closes her mouth, she’s rendered speechless…her joy is so great that she couldn’t.
Lately, things have been going well for them.
“Em.. I’ll take my leave, excuse me!” He said and walks away.
She reaches for her phone to inform Anastasia about this..she dials Anastasia’s number but it doesn’t connect.
“I’ll just call her later!” She decides.

Nicklaus’s mansion… 6:59pm….
Nicklaus reaches for his phone that has been ringing, since he was taking his bath.
Marcus’s name flashing on the screen, he rolls his eyes but answers the call anyway.
“Marcus!”
“Yo, buddy! I wanna hit the club..are you coming with me?”
“No!” Nicklaus answer without hesitation.
His reply was too fast that Marcus frowns in suspicion.
“Do you have a female companion with you?” He asked.
Nicklaus stays silent.
“Is that female companion a short, slim, brunette girl?” Marcus asked.
Nicklaus keeps his dental floss, he steps on the bath mat.
“It’s none of your business!”
Marcus laughs at him.
“Fine, I won’t bother you…I just have a little advise for you!”
Nicklaus remain silent but Marcus knows he’s listening, so he continues.
“Don’t always keep a straight face with Anna, she’s the woman you love…you should be free with her, stop making her feel like should be scared of you… it’s not gonna improve your relationship with her!”
Nicklaus frowns.
“She’s scared of me?”
“Yeah!”
“She told you that?”
“No, but it’s obvious… you’re always threatening her with her brother’s hospital bills… you’re making act cautiously around you..which will make it hard for her to fall in love with you!”
Nicklaus thinks about Marcus words, he finds some sense in them.
“What should I do to make her fall in love with me?”
“Let her be herself around you..be free with her!”
Nicklaus nods, though he knows Marcus can’t see him.
“So… should I hear a thank you from Mr Statham?”
“Get lost, Mr Aurelius!” Nicklaus growls in the phone and hangs up.

Anastasia’s pov ?
I tilt my neck and stares at Klaus’ room, his door is still shut.
I wonder what’s taking him so long…well, that’s a good thing cause I can’t face him right now.
I’m done taking my bath, I later locate one of the guest rooms and freshen up there…
I better eat up now before he comes down, i grab a plate and serve some chips in.
Just when I was about to start eating, my phone starts ringing… I glance at it and sees Matilda’s name on the screen.
“Hey, Tilda!”
Cut a small piece of fish and puts it in my mouth.. I smile, it’s sweet!
“Tasia, have you made up your mind yet? Are you coming to the club?” She asked.
I have think about it thoroughly, I don’t think I can go with her because Klaus won’t let me… I still have to sleep on his bed tonight.
“Is Tasia still alive there?” She asked.
I cough lightly.
“Well, I’d love to come with you to the club….”
“Club?!” Klaus’ voice interrupts me.
His voice sounds angry, yeah, I guess he’s angry because I barged into his bathroom.
I tensed and didn’t bother to look back, I don’t even wanna know what his expression is.
“Tasia, who’s that? Is that your boss?”
Before I could answer her, my phone was snatched away from me… I quickly get up and tries to reach for the phone.
“Master…..”
He glares at me and moves the phone away from my reach.. damn tall people!
He stares at the screen a few seconds, then takes it to his ear.. a scowl on his face.
“My girlfriend is not going with you to any club!” He growls into the phone and hangs up rudely.
I roll my eyes at his childishness, he’s acting all possessive over a fake relationship… though, I secretly love his possessiveness!
It makes me feel giddy with happiness.. which I don’t understand why.
He throws the phone on the table and sits down, all these while, I have not raised my head to see his face.
I’m too embarrassed to!
On a norms I wouldn’t do a lap dance for anyone, but I did it for him because I feel some how familiar with him… and comfortable around him.
“…. wake up!” He bangs the table.
I raised my head instantly, flinching back in fright.
He stares at my face with a frown.
“Are you scared of me?” He asked.
“Huh?”
He pause and stares at my face again, I don’t know what he’s looking for.
“Are you scared of me, Anastasia?” He asked again.
I shake my head, he hums and serves himself some food.
“Come give me a head massage!” He commands.
Isn’t he embarrassed from what happened earlier?! Why is he talking so freely with me as if nothing happened?!
He clears his throat loudly and I come back to present.
“I said you should give me a head massage!”
I nod and walk behind him, my fingers position on his head and got into work.
My mind wander back to the lap dance, I can’t believe I could go that crazy.. I didn’t know I could make a man ha.rd to the extent of je..rking off.
Speaking of je..rking off, I heard him moaned out a name… Nina!
I wonder who Nina is.. could she be his ex girlfriend?
“And what the fk is she thinking about now?!” Klaus asked gruffly.
He reaches for a glass of water.
“Who’s Nina?” I blurt out before I could stop myself.
He chokes on his water and starts coughing uncontrollably, I pats his back gently.. muttering sorry.
“Sorry, I’m really sorry.. so sorry!”
He waves his hand, slowly his coughing dies down. He turns to me and stares at me amusingly.
“You said what?”
“I said sorry….”
“No, before that!” He cuts me off.
I draw my eyebrows together in a confused frown.
“I asked who’s Nina?”
“Nina…” He said and trails off, a small smile tugs the corner of his lips.
My fist clenches at his expression, he look so happy just at the mention of Nina.
Hold up.. rewind… Why am I getting angry?
“I heard you in your room calling her name when you’re….” I swallow my words when I recalls what I saw.
My cheeks flame up as I see the image of his d***
He clears his throat.
“Right, you just remind me, let’s forget about Nina for now!”
Forget about her?! I wanna know who she is, that you think about her even when he’s je.rking off!
Seriously, I sound like a jealous girlfriend.
“You’ve seen me nked.. don’t you think you should take responsibility for me?”
“Responsibility?”
He nods.
“How do you want me to take responsibility?”
“Sleep with me!”
“What?!” I exclaimed loudly.
My voice echo in the house, as it yells what with me.
“I.. I.. should sleep with you?”
He nods, he stares at me innocently…. which makes me wonder which kind of sleep with me he actually mean.
“I believe it’s normal for you to sleep with me!”
“What do you mean? Can you say it clearly?”
“Listen, I don’t wanna force you into anything… but you must sleep with me tonight!”
