Chapter 27
Written by: Racheal Dennis
Authoress’ pov ?
With a satisfied smile, Matilda stares at her outfit in the mirror.
She wears a crop top and a cargo pants, she compliments it with a black pair of boots.. she turns to check out her bum.
“I’m so-o-o ready to boogie all night long!” She said.
She picks her purse and steps into the living room, Jack has fallen asleep on the couch.
He’s holding a small pillow in his hands, Matilda sighs and shakes her head.
“He’s really waiting for Tasia?”
She wanted to wake him up, but hesitate…he needs some sleep, maybe he’ll sober up after this sleep..she thinks.
She rushes back to her room and get a blanket, she covers him and head out.
********
The club is packed, the smell of cigarettes.. and alcohol mixed with sweat fills the air.
Sweaty bodies dances on the dancefloor.. drunk boys and girls grinding against each other as they dance to the beat of the music.
Matilda smiles.
“This is exactly what I want to cool off!” She said to herself.
Her eyes glance around, she sees an empty table. She slides through the sea of people to the table.. she sits down and a bartender walks over to her.
“Hi… Vodka please!” She told him.
“Coming right up!” He replies and walks off.
Matilda looks around, she sees a group of girls dancing in the dancefloor… she smiles.
********
Another part of the club (VIP section…)
“What’s up, man?” Marcus greets a group of guys.
They turn to him, their eyes lits up when they saw him.
“Yo! Marcus is here!” One of them said.
They all gave Marcus a bro hug each, Marcus sits down and a shot is placed in front of him.
“Yo, where’s Nicky?” A guy asked.
Marcus gulps down his shot and squeeze his eyes shut.. ravishing the taste in his tongue.
“Nicky’s got himself a gorgeous lady, he won’t be joining us!” Marcus replies.
“Oh!!” They all exclaimed.
They stare at Marcus as if he’s gone mad for saying that…since they were kids, they knew Nicklaus never gets close to any lady.
“True, he’s with a lady!” Marcus tries to defend his words.
But they still don’t seem to believe him, he wanted to tell them who the lady is to Nicklaus.
But then he recalls Nicklaus’s words.. “Don’t tell anyone about her identity yet!”
He sighs and decides to let them continue doubting him, he picks his glass and notice it’s empty.
“Where are the shots? More shots, please!”
*******
“Thank you!”
Matilda tells the bartender as he drops her vodka on her table.
“You’re welcome!” He replies and walk off.
She picks her drink up and takes a few gulps, she nods at the strong taste.
“Just how I like it!” She said.
Just then, her phone beeps.. she reaches for it and sees a notification… It’s an email from #Macr_law_firm.
Quickly, she opens it, though her hope wasn’t much but seeing the email totally crushed her.
She didn’t get the job.
“Fk life!” She growls and finishes her vodka in one gulp.
She continues taking shots after shots, until she finally feel the vodka flowing in her veins.. the vodka is finally controlling her mind now.
Her eyes zeroed on those girls who are still dancing on the dancefloor.. she laughs at their moves.
“So lame!” She slurs.
Her ears perks up when she hears her favorite song playing Shape_of_you by Ed Sheeran!
She sprints up and runs to the dancefloor like a mad woman, staggering slightly as she goes.
“Let me show y’all how it’s done!” She screams… drawing people’s attention.
She starts dancing, she started slowly, tapping on her feet on the ground following the beat.
Then she goes crazy, swaying her hips and bending her flexible body to the beat.
Everyone stops dancing and cheers for her, encouraging her to go even more crazier.
Their cheers get into her head, the vodka controlling her mind and the music directs her moves.
She’s dancing so crazy! She just wants to forget all her disappointments!
********
“Yo, guys, look down… that girl is wild!” One of Marcus friends said.
They all looked down, Marcus eyes lands on Matilda who’s dancing freely.
“What. Is. She. Doing?” He whispers.
His friends turns to him.
“You know her?” They asked.
“N-no, no! I don’t!” He replies quickly.
They turn away from him back to Matilda, they stare at her lustfully.
“Man, I’d love do her!” One of them say.
Marcus grabs his collar and raised him up, he doesn’t even realize when he grab him.
“Don’t even think of doing her!”
He frowns at his own words, why am I stopping him?
“Marc, are you ok? Do you have any relationship with her?”
Marcus removes his hand from his friend’s collar, he tucks his hands into his pocket.
“No, but I’ve bumped into her before. She’s.. she’s crazy!” He replied and sits back on his chair.
Turning his back against the view, so he won’t see Matilda…he picks his glass and gulps down his shot.
His mind flashes back to when he first bumped into her, he kept thinking about her dreamy eyes and how she kept replying “me too!”
He had thought he’s never gonna see her again, until she came for an interview at his firm.
He personally screened her out hoping he’d never see her again.. but here they are.
Maybe it’s destined for us to meet! He thought.
The sound of people cheering for her is seriously disturbing him, he reaches for his phone and puts on his earphone… He increases the music volume.
As if it can block their cheers.
Someone taps Marcus’s shoulder, he turns to the person and takes off his earphone.
“What?”
“Look, that guy is rocking her!”
Marcus looked and his jaw clenches, he balled his fist and glare at the dancefloor.
********
Matilda is feeling so high and lost in the song, she feels someone wraps an arm around her waist.
She slows down her moves and tries to push whoever it was..but they wouldn’t let go.
“Hey.. fk off!” She said.
He laughs.
“Come on, let’s dance!” He holds her waist tightly and pulls her closer to himself.
She struggles in his hold.
“Let go, you freak!” She raises her hand and slaps him across his face.
He held his cheek and glares at Matilda.
“You wh®re!” He raised his hand to slap her too.
But his hand stops midway as someone arrives and catches his hand.
“What the hell man?!” He exclaims and follows the hand to the person’s face.
Matilda smiles when she sees who her saviour is.
“Mr Aurelius!” She whispers.
“Let go of my hand, man!” The freak yells at Marcus.
Marcus twists his hand and he yells in pain.
“Was that how you treat ladies?” Marcus asked him.
He pushes the freak away from him, the freak staggers back but doesn’t fall.
“She’s no lady, she’s just some random $lvt!” The freak said.
Marcus clenched his jaw, he balled his fist and drives it straight at the freak’s face… Not caring where his fist would land.
“You don’t call MY friend a random $lvt!” He growls at the freak.
He turns to Matilda who’s been gushing over his manliness, he swoops her into his arm and head towards the exit.
Matilda rests her head on his chest, with her hand touching his chest muscles as if she’s trying to feel them.
“What’s your address, I’m sending you home!”
Marcus asked Matilda when he’s walked a few feet away from the club, but Matilda didn’t reply.
He looks down at her and realize she’s sleeping already… He sighs.
“My home then!” He said and walks towards his car.

Anastasia’s pov ?
I find myself standing in front of that strange Villa again, it’s just me and the Villa as usual.
No buildings.. no other humans.. just me.
I walk closer to it, then that little girl runs past me into the Villa.. as usual, I didn’t see her face.
Just her back and tiny feet running urgently, she’s holding something in her hands.. something I couldn’t see clearly.
I rush after her, she opens the door and slams it shut after she’s inside.
My hand quickly grabs the door handle, I pushed it open but it wouldn’t open.. I keep on trying several times, it still won’t open.
How could she open it and I can’t? I wanna go in and see what’s behind this closed door!
As usual, I heard the girl’s voice scream loudly from inside…as if something happened to her.
I wanna know what happened inside…why did she screamed so loudly?
Her scream sounds so scary, what did she see that scared her so much?
“Who’s there!” I hear a thunderous voice boom… in fright I let go of the door handle.
I turn and run away from there, soon it’s raining but I didn’t stop running….
********
My eyes snaps open and I sit up, panting heavily as if I have been running.
I rest my head on the headboard and combs my fingers through my hair, moving away some fallen strands of hair from my face.
It’s the same dream as usual…I have been having these dreams since as long as I can remember.
And I don’t know why.
I reached for my phone and check the time, it’s just 1:02am… it’s too early to wake up!
My eyes move to Klaus side of bed, it’s empty, even the pillow wall is gone…I frown.
I crawl to his side and look down, he’s sleeping on the floor. I smirk.
“I knew you’ll cross the boundary!” I whisper.
Well, at least he’s a gentleman for taking the floor…I better go back to sleep too.
I keep my phone back on the bedside table, I lay back on the bed and cover myself with the duvet…I close my eyes and wait for sleep to take me.
