Authoress’ pov ?
Graham stepped out of Nicklaus’s mansion, he walked towards his sports bike parked outside.
Just when he lifts his head, he saw Anastasia’s guards murmuring among themselves.. he get on his bike and rides towards them.
“What are you murmuring about here?”
The four of them tensed and avoids his eyes, he grits his teeth and asked again in a very low growl.
“What are you murmuring about here?!”
They pushes each other to speak, none of them want to narrate what just happened.
“Seems you want Mr Statham to ask you himself…”
He reaches for his phone inside his jacket’s pocket.. and pretends like he’s dialing a number.
“… I can always call him to come here!”
“No! No! No! Please!” They all chorused.
Graham reluctantly moved the phone away from his ear, the phone’s light wasn’t even on.. but he was quick in throwing it into his pocket, so they didn’t see it.
“Now, speak! What happened?!” Graham asked again.
After silent deliberations, one of them finally decided to speak…his name is Jimmy.
“We noticed a black car following Miss Lopez this afternoon…”
He trails off and glances at his colleagues, as if asking them if he should continue.. but Graham’s growl made him continue.
“… we would have stopped him, but we didn’t wanna frighten Miss Lopez, so we decided to follow the car quietly…”
He keeps quiet again, Graham growls again and he continues.
“… we don’t know what happened, we lost both his car and Miss Lopez’s car” Jimmy finished his words.
Graham raised his fist and was ready to land it on his face, but he held himself.
“You’re useless! How can you lost their cars?! What were you thinking?!”
“We’re sorry, Mr Graham…”
“Don’t say sorry to me!” Graham cuts them off.
He take off his helmet and combs his fingers through his hair, biting his lower lip in frustration.
“What if something had happened to Miss Lopez?! What would you have told Mr Statham?!”
“We later asked Jerry, he said Miss Lopez is fine.. she got home safe!” Another of the guards said.. his name is Nico.
Graham glares at them speechlessly, he doesn’t know what to say to them.. he was the one that introduced them to Nicklaus.
If anything had happened, Nicklaus wouldn’t have be merciful to him and the guards.
“Did you see the car’s plate number?!”
“Yes, Mr Graham!” Jimmy and Nico replied.
“Then what are you waiting for here?! Freaky go look for that ba$tard!” He growls at them.
Without wasting time, they jumps into their car and drove off.. Graham look towards the window and saw Nicklaus standing there.
He quickly wore his helmet and rode off, he knows this isn’t over… Nicklaus will ask him about it tomorrow.
But at least he escaped today’s query!

Anastasia’s pov ?
“What are you glaring at outside the window?” I asked and tilts my head to take a look.
But he didn’t let me, he blocks my view and drags me towards our room.
“It’s nothing, I was just glaring at Graham… he’s disturbing with his bike!”
I know he’s lying but I let it slide, his hand is the most important right now.
I grab the door handle and open the door, we walked in and I rushed to the medicine chest…I took a cotton wool, disinfectant cleaner and bandage and rushed back to him.
“It’s gonna stink slightly but please bear it!” I told him.
He scoffed loudly.
“Nothing ever hurts me!”
I simply give him a look that say, we’ll see about that. Immediately, I rub the disinfectant cleaner on his wound…he jumped off the couch and snatched his hand from me.
I couldn’t hold back my laugh, I burst into an uncontrollable laughter…my arms clung my stomach as I laugh out my guts.
“Nothing ever hurts me!” I mock him.
He sits down slowly and blows his hand to numb the hotness, I snatched his hand and blows it.
“Did you do that on purpose?” He asked.
“Maybe yes, maybe no!”
He glares at me as if he wants to speak, but I hushed him and continue cleaning his wound gently this time.
After cleaning his wound, I wrapped it up as best as I could…and return the items back to the medicine chest.
I saw Nicklaus holding something in his hands, I walked closer and realized it’s a new phone…an iPhone 11 pro max!
“Klaus, did you buy a new phone?” I asked and sit in front of him.
I’m secretly praying he’d say the phone is mine… God! Just thinking about it, I can’t just seem to contain my joy!
“Yeah, you broke your phone and I can’t reach you whenever I want to, so….”
“So…what?” I cut him off.
He’s taking forever to complete his sentence.
“…I bought this for you!”
“Oh my God!” I exclaimed loudly and snatched the phone from him.
I jumped up and kssed the phone, I quickly ripped off the packet and bring the phone out.
My eyes grows wide as the phone sparkles into my eyes, I can’t believe I just got a new phone…and a very expensive one at that.
I gently dropped it on the table and grab Klaus’ face, I begin to shower ksses all over his face.
His lips…nose…eyes… forehead…jaw..chin… everywhere!
Until I’m tired, I picked the phone and rushed to my luggage…I wanna switch my sim.
“Er…I was hoping for a hot make out session but….”
I tone him off, my attention is solely on my new phone now.

Authoress’ pov ?
Dr ghost parked his car outside his drugstore, he grabs two plates numbers from the passenger’s seat and quickly got off the car.
He looked around to make sure nobody is watching him, not that anyone is gonna watch him in this dark and creepy alley.
He changes the plate numbers of his car and walk into his store with the previous plate numbers in his hands.
“Honey! I’m home!” He called.
But as usual, there’s no reply, only his voice echoing back to hom….he throws the plate numbers on the counter and walks towards the inner room in his store.
He walked straight to the bed and sit on a couch, his eyes travels the body of an unconscious woman.
The woman look so pale, there’s an oxygen mask on her nose supporting her.
He reaches for her left hand, he caresses it softly and stares at her with a smile… a sad smile.
“I have good news for you, do you know… I saw her today, I saw Nina… she’s such a big girl now…”
He lets out a laugh, a laugh mixed with pain and happiness.
“.. she look so much like you, do you know, when I saw her.. I thought you were the one standing in front of me! She doesn’t seem to recognize me, but I don’t blame.. you know, it’s been long… ”
A lone tear runs down his cheek, he wipes it off and chuckles lightly.
“… I couldn’t hold back, I followed her to her place.. she lives in a mansion, a very big mansion. I just hope she’s fine, I hope she’s not facing any problems… ”
He reaches for his phone and showed the woman, some pictures he had snapped sneakily.
“… look, this is her, our daughter.. see how beautiful she’s grown. Er.. I know you’re wondering why I didn’t show myself to her, that’s because it’s not yet time. I wanna find out who’s behind that conspiracy.. I wanna know who’s bold enough… ”
He heard some honking sound outside, he smirks, he knows it’s those guys following him and Anastasia earlier… He simply shakes his head.
“… Not competent enough! I wonder why Nina would hire them!” He said.
He arranges the blanket on her properly.
“I wonder whose mansion she’s living in, could it be Nicklaus? Do you think it’s him?” He asked.
He knows he’s not gonna receive any reply, but he still ask her anyway.
“When will you wake up and see her for yourself? When will you see your beautiful daughter?”
He paused and stares at the picture again, he studies her features closely.
“She came to my store for after pills, she wants to kill our grandbaby…do you think I did wrong for giving her the wrong pills?”
He laughs as if he just remembered something funny.
“Nina is so cute, she doesn’t even know the pills I gave her will only help her get pregnant quickly! I need to help us too, we need grandkids.. right?!”
He continues laughing and rests his head on her bed, until he doze off.

9:00pm….
Claudia walks into the club, she goes straight to her favorite table and sits down.. few minutes later a man in black joins her.
Drinks are already on the table before their arrival, like it was pre-ordered.
“You’re late!” The man states.
Claudia scoffs and reaches for a glass of wine on the table.
“I’m late? You said 9pm, did you check your time?”
The man checks his wrist watch and doesn’t say anything, he stares at Claudia.
“Are you gonna say why you asked me out?”
“I wanna know your progress with Nicklaus!”
Claudia drops her glass on the table and leans on it.
“My progress…how can there be any progress when there’s a little wtch by his side?”
“Oh? A little witch? Well, that sounds interesting!”
“Anastasia Lopez! She’s been clinging onto him and wouldn’t let him have five minutes to himself… I walked in on them having….”
She trails off and reach for the glass of wine, she gulps it down in one go.
“… I don’t wanna remember that horrifying scene!”
“Leave her to me… remember what I promised you 13years ago?”

Little Claudia glares at the little girl as she runs about, giggling happily as she runs round the boy laying on a mat in the garden.
Little Claudia balled her fist and chewed her lower lip.. a man squats next to her and follows her glare.
“What are you looking at, Claudia?” He asked her.
“Her!” She responded.
The man frown.
“Her?”
“Yes! She stole my friend, I want him back!” She growls in her babyish voice.
The man laughs lightly, he looks at the girl and boy too.
“Their parents also stole from me, I want to take my stuff back!”
He turns to Claudia and pats her shoulder.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you get him back!”
She turns to him with a bright smile. “Thanks, daddy!”

“I’ll keep my promise, you’ll have Nicklaus and we’ll acquire their company too…”
“But your method is taking too long, should we wait until that
$lut gets pre.gnant first?!”
He hushed her, and glance around quickly.. luckily no one’s watching.
“I have a faster way, I’m buying shares with a secret name.. if the share is one percent higher than Nicklaus’s.. I’ll threaten him and make him marry you.. if you can get married to him, acquiring the company won’t be difficult!”
Claudia frowns as she thinks about something.
“If your share is one percent higher than his, why can’t you use it to take over the company?”
“One percent is not enough to take over the company, since Nicklaus is already the CEO!”
Claudia nods, she pours another glass of wine and sips it.
“That’s a good idea, but make sure you take care of Anastasia… I don’t want someone else to snatch Nicklaus from me just like Nina once did!”
“Don’t worry, darling, I’ll take care of everything for you!”
