NICKLAUS THE MASTER
Chapter 52.
Written by: Racheal Dennis
Authoress’ pov ?
After Claudia stormed out of Nicklaus’s office, she went to her office.. she slumps onto her chair as she fumes in anger.
“Grrrrr!” She growls.
In anger, she grab some things off her table and throws them across her office.
“How dare she?! She’s stealing what’s mine! She’s stealing Nicklaus from me!”
She grab some folders and throws them at the door, papers flies around as they lands on the floor… scattering everywhere.
“What black magic did she use?! Huh?! Why did he choose her over me?!” She wonders.
She grabs her hair and pulls it very hard, her face turns red from all the anger she’s feeling.
As if someone suddenly sets her chair on fire, she sprints up and pace to and fro in front of her table.
“13 years ago, it was Nina… now that she’s gone, that damn Anastasia arise from nowhere?!”
She bangs on her table and hissed quietly in pain, she blows her knuckles to numb the pain.
“Anastasia Lopez! I’ll make you regret stealing from me!” She vowed.

Matilda’s pov ?
I burp loudly and pushed my empty plate aside, I reach for a tissue and wipe my mouth.
“I can’t believe I had breakfast during lunchtime!” I said.
A yawn escapes my mouth, I feel eyes on me and I lift my head.. truly, Marcus is staring at me.
I raised an eyebrow at him questioningly.
“Do you know it’s not very ladylike to burp so loudly?” He asked.
I scoffed.
“Is that why you’re giving me that weird look?”
I paused and reach for a glass of water, I gulped down the remaining water and slams the glass down.
“I think it’s best I show you my shortcomings now, so you won’t regret your decision of dating me later!”
“What?” He frowns.
I smirk, he doesn’t seem to understand or know what I’m about to do.
“I wanna show you all my bad habits!”
My mouth falls open and a very loud burp flies out, even louder than the first.. I raised my bum slightly and farts loudly.
“What the vk!” Marcus exclaimed.
He pushed his chair back and sprint up from his chair, he rushed to a corner and glares at me from there.
“Are you for real?!” He asked.
I smirks and nod.
“Yeah, and there are many more.. should I show you?”
He quickly shake his head, but I’m not getting any of that.
I got up and walk towards him, he runs away from me and I’m left with no choice but to chase after him.
“Why are you running? I just want you to know me better!” I said.
“No, no please, I’ll just get to know you slowly….”
He cuts himself off as he stumbles on a cushion…he picks it up and place it back on the sofa.
“I don’t think I need to know this side of you”
“Of course you need to, you must know every side of me!”
I take slow steps towards him, he notices it and runs away.. I continue chasing him around a particular sofa.
Hmm, I think I won’t be able to catch him if we continue this way.. I should try something else.
But what should I do to catch him, hmm.. then an idea pops into my head and I smirk.
“Argh!” I yelled and falls down.
I grab my ankle and cradles it, Marcus stops running and rushed towards me…he squats and take my ankle in his hands.
“Baby are you ok?” He asked with a worried frown.
He look hot with those frown lines, I almost reach out to touch them but remembers what I wanna do to him.
“I just sprained my ankle!” I said.
He blows some air in it, he rubs it gently and I release a fake wince.
“Sorry, sorry!” He carried me in his arms.
He gets up and walk towards a sofa, I feel something build up in my stomach and I know it’s time.
A very loud fart leaves my ass, Marcus stays rooted on his spot and couldn’t move…he looks down at me and glare at me.
“Baby, what did you just do?” He growls.
I jump off his arms and runs straight to the dinning table, I begin to gather our plates.
“You didn’t just do that!” He growls.
“I just did, now come join me wash this plates!” I said.
He stands there for a few minutes, making disgusting faces…but comes to me anyway and join me take the plates to the kitchen.

“I’m so gonna receive query from Ms Jonas tomorrow!” I grumbled.
Marcus and I are in the kitchen, we’re doing the dishes.
“Why would she query you?” He asked me.
“It’s just my second day of work and I skipped it… I didn’t call to ask for leave too”
Ms Jonas is very strict, Lilian, my coworker told me yesterday that Ms Jonas is very serious when it comes to work.
And she doesn’t take tardiness lightly, it’s one of the things she hates most.. she’s a very punctual lady.
I wonder what she’ll do to me tomorrow, she’ll just make me submit my resignation letter.
“Don’t worry about Ms Jonas, I already called and ask for a leave for you!” Marcus said.
I turn to him with a frown.
“You asked for leave?! For me?!”
He nods.
“With which identity? CEO of Marc law firm?! Or my boyfriend?!”
“Er… is something wrong with me asking as the CEO and your boyfriend at the same time?” He asked.
I gaped at him, is he seriously asking me that?
“Marcus, I don’t want anyone to know about us in your company!”
Now it’s his turn to frown, he drops the plate in his hand and faces me with his deep frown.
“Why don’t you want anyone to know about us? Are you ashame of me?”
“No, but I don’t want them to know because they’ll start giving me special treatments… ”
He frowns more, I guess he’s wondering why I wouldn’t want them to give me special treatments.
“… I came to Marc law firm to get work experience, if they find out I’m your girlfriend I won’t be treated as other workers.. hence I won’t get the experience I wanted!”
Ms Jonas will be scared to scold me like she scolds other interns, she’ll always want to curry favors with me.. just to get some praises from Marcus.
“In fact, everyone will try getting close to me just to make you see their good side.. I don’t want that!”
He sighs and turns back to the washer, he picks the plate he just dropped and starts drying it.
“In work, let’s just be boss and subordinate.. can you do that for me?” I asked.
He stays silent, turns to me and I give him my best puppy eyes.
“Fine, we’ll just be boss and subordinate at work!”
I smiled. “Then quickly call Ms Jonas back, tell her I’m not your girlfriend!”
“There’ll be no need for that.. I never told her you’re my girlfriend!”
My smile falters as disappointment hits me, why am I feeling disappointed?
I’m the one who doesn’t want others to find out about our relationship.. right?
Girls… I wonder what species we are!
I huffed, glared at him briefly before turning to the washer.
“Are you gonna spend today with me?” He asked.
“Nope!” I replied curtly.
“Why? I’m gonna miss you!”
“I have an apartment.. and I haven’t sleep on my bed since last night.. what if bed bugs occupy my bed before tomorrow?”
He laughs at my statement.
“Bed bugs? Really? Just for two days?”
I shrug.
“Anything is possible!”
“You’re just impossible, why did I fall in love with you again?” He asked.
I wanted to reply him, but my phone starts ringing… I reach for it on the counter and see Mr Statham’s name flashing on the screen.
It must be Anastasia calling, maybe she wants to speak to me…
She better get herself a new phone…no! The Anastasia I know won’t buy a new phone, she’d rather repair her broken phone.
I quickly press the answer button.
“Hello?”
“Hey, Tilda, are you free today?” Her cheerful voice asked.
“Yeah”
There’s a pause and shuffling sound, then footsteps before she speak again.
“I was wondering if we can see, I need your help with something”
Hmm, since I didn’t go to work today, I should just spend sometime with my girlfriend.
“Ok, where are we meeting?”
“The mall” she replied.
“Ok!” I said and hang up.
Marcus raised an eyebrow at me quizzically, he’s anticipating my excuse… I chuckle and walk behind him.
I wrap my arms around his waist and rest my head on his back.
“Darling, can you give me a ride to the mall?” I asked.
“As if I have a choice…can I say no?” He asked me back.
“Of course… Not!”

Anastasia’s pov ?
I drop Klaus’s phone on his table and sit on the chair in front of his table… He’s typing on his laptop.
It’s been 3hours since our wild s£x, we cuddled for those 3hours until I forced Klaus to come work…which I’m kinda regretting.
Because right now, I’m bored! His full attention is on his laptop!
“Klaus, I just spoke with Tilda, she needs my help with something” I said.
I can’t tell him I want to meet with Tilda to get some after pills.. right?
“Hmm!” He hums absentmindedly.
“Ok… I can use some money from that card?” I asked.
“You don’t need my permission for that… that’s your money!” He replied.. still not taking his eyes off his laptop.
I sighed and got up.
“Ok, I’ll be on my way!”
I walk round the table and kssed his temple softly.
“Graham is outside, tell him to take you!”
“Ok!” I replied and head out.
•

“Tasia!” Matilda scream excitedly when I stepped out of the cab.
Yeah, I didn’t let Graham take me… I don’t wanna drive in fancy cars, to avoid people saying I’m getting too proud.
“Tasia, it seems like we haven’t seen in forever!” She said and grab my hands.. swaying them.
I rolled my eyes and flick her nose.
“We saw each other this morning at the hospital”
She rubs her nose with a frown, she nods slowly.
“Yeah, that’s right!”
My eyes scan the place, I saw an empty table in a corner outside the mall.
“Let’s go over there” I said, pointing at the table.
She nods and we walk towards the table… we sit down and I release a long sigh.
“I thought we’re here to shop?”
“I said I need your help, I didn’t ask you to accompany to shop!”
She glares at me playfully, she reaches for her phone and types something before shoving it back in her bag.
“So.. Miss Lopez, how may I help you?” She asked.
“Ok.. I need your help with two things, first, I want you to help me search for a vacant, cheap apartment!”
She stares at me with a frown.
“An apartment?”
I nod.
“Are you moving out of Mr Statham’s home? What happened? Did you two have a fight?”
Without letting me speak, she hangs on the table loudly…her frown deepens.
“I know that devil is gonna break your heart soon, tell me what he did and I’ll make him pay!”
“Tilda, calm down.. we didn’t have a fight”
She paused. “You didn’t have a fight?”
I shake my head.
“Then why are you moving out?!”
I facepalm myself, can she just calm down and listen to me?
“I’m looking for an apartment for aunt and Denzel, I just wanted you to help me look for the apartment because I don’t want Klaus to know about it” I said.
“Oh!” She exclaims calmly. “Why don’t you want him to know?”
“Because he’ll take them to one of his mansions, I don’t think Aunt will be comfortable there!”
Matilda stares at me with her mouth slightly open, she leans over and touches my forehead.. as if she’s testing my temperature.
“Are you sick?”
“Am I sick?”
“Yeah, who wouldn’t feel comfortable in a mansion?” She asked.
I shake my head, she wouldn’t understand why I want to rent an apartment for aunt.
“Your boyfriend is capable, why are you stressing yourself?”
“Tilda, it’s not his responsibility to shoulder my family’s problem now… we’re not married yet, I can’t just keep waiting for him to handle every single problem my family is facing”
“But…. ”
“He’s helped us a lot as it is now, he paid a huge amount of money for my brother’s bills.. at least I should handle this on my own”
Matilda nods as my words sinks into her memory.
“I think you’re right, he’s tried a lot”
It’s not easy, I mean most guys will abandon their girlfriends when they’re in deep sht as this.
But Klaus is different, he’s been there for me… Both financially and emotionally, he’s my rock!
“Right, what’s the second thing?” She asked.
I feel my cheeks flaming up at her question, as my mind races back to my wild office s£x with Klaus.
“Why are you blushing, Tasia?”
“I’m blushing?” I asked, feigning ignorance.
“Yeah, you’re blushing!” She confirmed.
I bite my inner cheek to stop myself from blushing, I clear my throat.
“What I’m about to tell you is a bit shocking…”
I trail off and studies her expression…she didn’t show any expression, she simply waits for me to continue.
“….but please don’t be shocked, don’t scream.. please!”
“Ok… are you gonna say it already?” She asked, a little bit impatiently.
I closed my eyes, and suck in some air to calm myself… I gather all my courage and speak.
“Klaus and I.. we.. we… ”
“You.. you.. what?”
I snap my eyes open and blurt it out.
“We did it!”
“What?!!” She screamed.
I winced and cover my ears with my hands, I throw her a glare.. you all heard me telling her not to scream just now.. right?
“You agreed not to scream just now!” I scold her.
“I didn’t agree, I only asked if you can say it already” she clarifies.
I rolled my eyes and remove my hands from my ears… I beg her with my eyes not to scream again, since some passerby are giving us weird glances.
“What did you and Mr Statham do?” She asked calmly this time.
“Klaus and I had s-sx” I stutter the S word.
She blinks at me quizzically, I know she’s thinking but I don’t what she’s thinking about.
“You mean you’re no longer a virgin?” She asked.
I shake my head.
“Oh my goodness! You said you wouldn’t have s£x until you’re married…”
I scratched my right ear nervously, I did say that when we’re in highschool…
And I have always held onto that, but I don’t understand why I ate my words when I met Klaus.
Did he used some kind of charms on me?! No.. he’s just good at $educing me!
“…I have always admired and respect you for that… then what happened?”
“I.. I don’t know.. but that’s not the point!”
I said when the main reason I wanted to see her, comes back to my mind.
“You know aunt doesn’t approve of premarital sx”
She nods.
“So.. I don’t wanna get pregnant now, I don’t know if you can help me with some after pills”
I chew on my lower lip after speaking, Matilda nods thoughtfully.
“I know a place where we can get those pills!” She said and got up.
“I hope it’s not where people can see me” she draws her brows together. “I’m kinda shy!”
She laughs and pinches my cheeks, she snatched her bag from the table and grab my hand and pulls me up.
“Nobody will see you, let’s go!”

Authoress’ pov ?
Marcus’s is searching for something in his laptop, when a message pops up from his boys.
He quickly opens the message and his mouth falls open at what he what… A name.
Not wasting time, he types the name on the search column.. a man’s picture appears and Marcus frowns.
He studies the picture for a few minutes before reaching for his phone…he dials Nicklaus’s number.
After a few rings, Nicklaus picked up.
“Marcus!” Nicklaus’s voice erupts from the other side.
“Nicky, come over to my place right now.. I just got a new clue!”
“On my way!” Nicklaus replied and hangs up.
Marcus continue studying the picture with his deep frown still on.

Anastasia’s pov ?
“Dr. Ghost’s pharmacy?!” I whisper-yell at Matilda.
She hushed me and simply nod, I frown at her.. how did she know this place? It’s hidden in a alley.
The name of this drugstore is scaring the hell out of me, I mean…ghost?!
“Remember Rebecca from our highschool?”
I nod.
“She gets her after pills from here and it works a great deal, you can take one pill and have sx for a month without getting pregnant!” She explains.
This place is creepy, but if the pills are as effective as she said.. I won’t have to come here everytime.
“Ok, let’s just get the pills and get out of here!” I said.
She pushed the door open and we both step in, a bell rings, indicating someone (we…matilda and I) just entered.
Inside the store isn’t as creepy as I had thought, it looks like every normal drugstore…I feel myself getting relaxed, until….
“Hello, there!” A voice said behind us.
Matilda and I screamed, she grab each other for comfort..then we turn around.
We saw a man in his late forties or early fifties standing behind we, he wore a warm smile that reaches his eyes.
A sense of familiarity hits me as I studies his face, it feels as if I’ve seen him somewhere before.
“Welcome to my medicine store, how may I help you?” He asked and walks towards a counter.
Matilda and I follows him slowly, as it we’re scared the ground is gonna break and swallow us.
“We wanna buy some after pills!” Matilda said, surprisingly in a bold tone.
“Hmm, after pills…”
He trails off and searches through a cabinet behind the counter… My eyes are busy scan the store.
“… I don’t know why you kids of this age are having s£x.. when you don’t want to have a baby!” He said.
I frown at his statement, is it all old people that have the same mentality? Because this is exactly what my aunt will say!
And him saying this, is making me feel like my dad is scolding me.
“Here!” He said and dropped some pills in front of us.
Matilda reached for the pills and hands them to me.
“How much?” I asked.
This is the first time I’ve spoke since we step in, instead of replying me, he kept staring at me.. narrowing his eyes as if he’s trying to recall something.
Is he having the same feeling as me? Like we’ve met before?
“Excuse me, sir… ”
He snaps back, he smiles at me and gestures me to continue.
“… I’m sorry to ask, but you seem familiar… Have we met before?” I asked.
He stays silent for a moment, before he speaks.
“I’m afraid not!” He replies simply…and turns away from me quickly.
Hmm, why do I feel like he’s hiding something from me? He looks so much familiar.. really!
“So… how much for the pills?” Matilda asked.
“You don’t have to pay, I don’t sell those pills!” He said.
I passed Matilda a look, she frowns too.
“Sir, we don’t accept charity…” I trail off.
I reach for some money on my purse, thankfully, I took these money from Klaus before leaving his office.
“… I don’t know how much these pills are worth, but here’s what we have…”
I dropped a few notes on the counter.
“… that’s all we have, I hope it’s enough!” I said.
Without waiting for him to speak, I grab Matilda’s hand and pulls her with me as we exit the store.
I made sure we’re very far from the store before we stop to hail a cab…
“Man, that man was creepy!” Matilda said.
“Yeah, you didn’t know that before recommending me to go there?”
She shake her head, she sees a cab upfront and stops it.. I don’t know why I have this nagging feeling that I know that man.
