Rhoda’s pov ?
Statham’s Villa… 9:53pm…
I had just tucked Bill in bed when my phone began ringing, I reached for it on the bedside table and saw it’s Raymond calling me.
Reluctantly, I picked the call.
“Hello?” I answered in a tired voice.
“Hello, Rhoda, you sounded tired.. did I called at the wrong time?” He asked.
I shake my head… He didn’t called at the wrong time, I’m just too tired from today’s work.
After picking Bill up from school, the rest of my day was very hectic… I attended to seven patients.
“Rhoda? Are you still there?” He asked.
“Yeah…I’m still here” I replied.
I released a short yawn and rubbed my eyelids, trying to chase away the sleep from my eyes.
“Well, I guess I should call later.. I don’t think now is a very good time…”
“It’s fine, tell me why you called” I cut him off.
I heard him chuckled and sighed, I heard footsteps from his side and I guessed he’s moving around.
“Actually, I didn’t call you for a particular reason.. I just wanted to hear your voice before I go to bed” he said.
I didn’t speak, I simply hummed and leaned back on the sofa I sat.
“How is Bill? Is he still having a fever?” He asked.
I lifted myself off the sofa and reached forward, I felt his temperature with my palm and shook my head.
“No, he’s ok now!” I replied.
“That’s a relief!” He sighed out.
I know he’s genuinely worried about Bill…
When we arrived at Bill’s school, he wasn’t feeling too well and he was sent to the school clinic… He passed out in class from severe cold.
“… Rhoda, please don’t bath him with cold water anymore and don’t let him play in the rain… I don’t want him to pass out on us again…”
I sucked in some air to keep myself calm.. because his words are kinda getting me angry.
“… also, please put my name on the emergency list too, so his teacher can contact me next time if they can’t get through to you… ”
“Enough, Raymond!” I interrupt him.
“Em.. you sound angry, did I say something wrong?” He asked.
“Yes!” I snapped at him.
“W-what.. what did I say wrong?” He asked in a calmer tone this time.
“You’re making me feel like I don’t know how to take care of my own child!”
“No, no, that’s not what I mean. I just wanted to… ”
“I have been taking care of Bill for eight years!”
“Rhoda, listen I… ”
“I was careless this time, I didn’t pay much attention to his health this time because I was kinda busy… anyone mother can make the same mistake!”
He didn’t try to speak anymore, he’s just remained silent and listen to me.
“I’m just a single mother who’s trying her best to give her child the best in life! Don’t think you have the right to scold me, I have been taking care of him and I can still do it twenty years to come!”
By now I can feel tears slowly running down my cheeks, I don’t know if it’s because of Bill passing out..
Or because I suddenly remembered that I’ve been alone all these years…but I’m angry.. I’m just feeling angry and I wanna vent my anger.
“He’s my son and I know how to care for him best, stop nagging me and making me feel like I failed in my duty! Stop making me feel like I failed my son!”
I’m breathing heavily now.
“Rhoda, let’s calm down and…”
“Yes! I think I really need to calm down!” With that I hanged up.
Yeah.. it’s rude to hang up on people like that, but I’m too angry to actually think straight..I don’t even understand why I’m angry but I’m angry!
Maybe I should look for something to help me calm down…yeah!
I opened my phone and decided to surf the internet, different videos popped up.. but one video caught my attention.
*Mr Statham, CEO of Statham enterprise, finally announced fiancee to the world!*
I frowned deeply when I saw the person standing next to Nicklaus.. Claudia?!
Why isn’t it Anastasia?! What happened?! Series of questions pop up in my head.. it’s best I watch it to find out.
I clicked on the play button.
My eyes grew wide and my mouth fell open as the scene plays… From Nicklaus announcing Claudia as his fiancee.. to him publicly breaking up with Anastasia.. and Anastasia ran out in tears.
Why would Nicklaus do something as cruel as this?! That arrogant ba$tard!
Wait… he’s allergic to women! But how come Claudia could stand very close to him?
I take a closer look again and saw his arm around her waist..he held her?! How is that possible?!
Or could it be that he’s cured?! I mentally smacked my head… that’s not the main point now, the point is, Nicklaus’s break up with Anastasia!
No! Mom must see this, I know she haven’t seen it yet.. because she doesn’t spend her time on watch these kinds of events.. she calls them silly way of rich men showing off their money!
I sprint up and rushed out, I take the steps two at a time as I rushed down to the living room.. where mom is eating some fruits.
“Mom! Mom!” I called, urgency in my voice.
Mom lifted her head.
“Slow down, why are you in such a rush?” She scolded me.
“Mom, Nicklaus broke up with Anastasia tonight!” I said and sat next to her.
“They broke up? Who gave you that wrong info?” She asked.. sounding like I’m kidding her.
I shake my head. “No, mom, it’s not a wrong info… I watched it myself!”
“Really?” Mom asked still sounding like she doesn’t believe me.
“Yeah…” I quickly played the video and handed it to her. “… watch it for yourself!”
A very deep frown appeared on her face as she watched it.. she replayed it again several times.
“Nicklaus is getting bolder.. how dare he?!” Mom growled.
She reached for her phone and quickly dialed Nicklaus’s number, she narrowed her eyes and wait impatiently for him to pick up.

Anastasia’s pov ?
“Nicklaus Wilhelm Statham! What’s that news about?! What’s happening to you and Anastasia?! What sort of public disgrace is that?!” She growled.
I looked at Klaus and laid back on the bed, resting my head against the headboard.
I’m so gonna enjoy this show! He normally enjoys it when aunt scold me…let me see how he’s gonna take his mom’s scolding.
“Mom….”
“Why did you do that?! Why did you bring with you to the gala just to humiliate her?!” Aunt cuts him off.
“Mom, there’s a perfect explanation for….”
“I don’t want any perfect explanations!” She cut him off again.
Klaus closed his eyes and sucked in a large amount of air, you know he’s not used to people yelling at him.
“She ran out and you didn’t even bother to run after her…do you know it’s quite dangerous for her to face such humiliation in her present condition?!”
In my present condition?! What condition?! How come I didn’t know I’m in some kind of condition?!
“Nicklaus, how can you be so heartless! I didn’t raised you to be a beast! What will your father say if he saw you now?!”
*Mom, that’s enough!* I heard Rhoda’s voice in the background.
But aunt is not having any of that, she continued scolding Klaus.. I thought Klaus would talk back at her.. but surprisingly, he’s suddenly turned into a good and obedient child.
“Where are you right now?! Are you still with that snake?! Are you still with her?!”
Klaus looked at me and silently begged me to say something, so aunt would stop scolding him.
But I didn’t say anything, I simply made a funny face at me and pulled the duvet over my head.
“Tell me where you.. I’m coming over there to teach you a lesson tonight!”
“Mom…”
*Mom, it’s late.. we will find him tomorrow and talk to him!* Rhoda tells her.
“But…”
*Mom, let’s save our strength for tomorrow!* Rhoda persuade her.
Then I heard aunt sobbing, I frown.. is she seriously sobbing right now?
“Oh! Anastasia, poor child.. she’ll be so heartbroken and sad.. I wonder what she is going through right now….”
*Alright, mom, hang up!* Rhoda said.
“Just you wait, Nicklaus, I’ll make you pay for what you did!” Aunt said and ended the call.
Klaus sighed deeply, the ripped off the duvet from me.. he passed me a playful glare.
“Anastasia Lopez!!” He growled.
“Mr Statham, what did I do?” I asked in a very innocent voice.
He got on the bed and hovers over me, his large body covering me.
“Why didn’t you helped me?”
“Well, you didn’t actually ask for my help” I shrug.
He narrowed his eyes.
“I was twitching my eyes at you”
“Really? I thought something was wrong with your eyes” I said.
He frown deeply and I laughed.
“You’re impossible!” He said when he couldn’t find any words to tell me.
He leaned down and kissed my lips lightly, I wrapped my arms around his neck and wanted to deepen the kss.. but he didn’t let me.
“I don’t think now’s the best time to make out” he said.
“Why’s it not the best time?” I asked.
His eyes moved to my stomach, he stared at it for a moment and I instinctively wrapped my arms around my stomach.
“Why do you keep staring at my stomach? You also stared at it at the gala.. why?”
He looked away from my stomach and stared at my face.
“Nothing, I just feel like I might get carried away and hurt you” he replied.
“Hmph!” I huffed and turned away from him.
He chuckled and turned my face back to him.
“Are you mad at me right now?”
“You tell me!”
“But I didn’t do anything wrong…”
He swallowed his words when I glared at him.
“Of course not, it’s just.. I’m a fool”
“Ok.. why are you insulting yourself?”
I ignored him and refused to speak to him, I turned my face away from him.
“Come on, baby, tell me” he said.
I still didn’t speak.
“Please, talk to me”
I fold my lower lip in my mouth and chewed on it gently.
“Tell me, please”
“It’s just.. just.. I’m feeling horny and…” I trail off. “… anytime you’re in mood to make love I’m always available but now… ”
He sighed, his hand moved to my stomach and he rubbed it softly.
“Baby, I’m always in the mood to make love with you, but I have to confirm something from Rhoda first… I don’t wanna do anything that would hurt you”
“You’re just looking for excuses.. you don’t love me anymore… ”
Before I knew it, tears have started running down my cheeks…
Why am I suddenly so emotional?! This has never happened to me before!
“… You’re tired of me and you’re just looking for an excuse to kick me out…”
Wait.. what am I saying?! And why can’t I seem to stop my tears?!
“… you don’t wanna make love with me, you think I’m inexperienced and…”
He shake his head and starts wiping my tears.. but my stubborn tears won’t stop.
“No, no, you’re not inexperienced, I’m the inexperienced one here…I’m the novice!” He said.
“Then why aren’t you fking me already? Why?”
“I just don’t wanna hurt you, I don’t know if I can have s£x with you in this condition…this is all new to me… ”
“What condition? Is it because I was rapped?”
He looked like he didn’t know what to say.. I guess he’s referring to it.
“I don’t care whatever your reason is, you must make love with me tonight!” I said.
I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer to me, then crash my lips on his.. he breaks it off and frown at me.
“Baby, what are you tryna do?” He asked.
Yeah.. what am I doing? Forcing him to have sx with me? Isn’t this rappe?
“I wanna rappe you!”
“Huh?”
“You refused to give me your consent.. so it’s rappe!” I replied him and crashed my lips on his again.

Authoress’ pov ?
At the gala…
Liam walked to a corner when he noticed no one’s paying attention to him.. he reached for his phone and dialed Benjamin’s number.
Benjamin picked on the second ring.
“Speak!” Benjamin said.
“Sir, Mr Statham is now engaged to your daughter.. he broke up with his girlfriend and declared Miss Claudia as his one and only fiancee publicly!” Liam reported.
Benjamin laughed loudly, his laugh sounded so sinister.
“That’s good! Very good! You did a good job!”
Liam nod. “Thank you, sir!”
“Now, about that girl… she might be a problem later, find out if she’s in town and kill her!”
“Yes, sir!”
Benjamin hummed.
“What is Nicklaus and Claudia doing right now?”
“Mr Statham took miss Claudia home…she was a little too happy and got drunk!”
Benjamin scoffed angrily.
“Incompetent! Just like her mother!” Then he hanged up.
Liam took a deep breath and walked back to the hall to enjoy the rest of the party.

Anastasia’s pov ?
20 minutes later…..
Klaus fell beside me and pant heavily, our breath in rhyme.. as if we just run a marathon.
“Are you happy now?” Klaus asked.
I nod and rest my head on his chest, we’re both nked.. he kssed my temple and hugged me.
“Can we go for another round?” I asked.
“Absolutely not!” He replied firmly.
I pout, like seriously, I’m displaying some kind of weird behaviours lately.
I easily get emotional.. which was one of the main reasons my act was perfect… I easily get h©rny at every glance I take Klaus.. does that mean I’m becoming a sx addict?!
“Let’s go freshen up!” Klaus said.
I shake my head and snuggle more into him…feeling lazy to get off the bed.
“Let’s just stay in bed and cuddle!”
“But we’re….”
“I don’t wanna leave the bed”
He groaned. “Fine, we’ll stay in bed and cuddle!”
I smirked, then I suddenly remember something.
“Right.. Klaus, how are you gonna get Claudia to sign all her father’s share to you?” I asked.
“She’s not gonna sign all her father’s shares to me, Benjamin won’t allow it… I just wanna take 40% from his shares.. then hand them over to the police!”
He’s right, according to their description of Benjamin, that guy is as wise as the serpent!
“Tomorrow at work, I’ll talk to her about signing the shares to me before the wedding!”
I nod.
“Well…now that you’re cured, I don’t trust that Claudia around you!” I said, jealous and hatred dripping off each of my words.
You can’t blame me for hating her, after all, she’s the daughter of my parents’ killer!
And also, she’s trying to steal my man! I really enjoyed slapping her at the gala.
“You don’t trust her, I get that.. but you trust me, right?”
I sighed and nod. “Yeah, but don’t disappoint me or I swear, I’ll cut off your balls and feed them to you!”
He laughed.
“I swear, I won’t fall for her!”
“You’d better not!”
