Anastasia’s pov ?
“Oh my God, he shot you!” Matilda exclaimed.
I frowned… I’ve been shot?!
The first place my gaze rushed to was my stomach, but fortunately, I wasn’t shot on my stomach.
“Where was I shot?” I asked.. holding onto my shoulder as I felt it getting heavy.
“Your shoulder, he shot your shoulder!” She replied.
She removed my hand from my shoulder and showed me the blood, I gasped.
And that’s when I started to actually feel the pain, seeping in.
“Come on, let’s take you to the hospital” she said and helped me up.
“Why are you here anyway?” I asked.
Sounding a little bit angry at the fact, that Jerry ran off because of her.
“Mr Statham called me over” she replied.
Right.. I forgot that, Klaus said he’d call her over to accompany me.. but I guess she came at the wrong time.
“Let’s hurry up and check if the bullet’s in your shoulder!” I nod.
By now blood has soaked my upper body, that seeing how much blood I’m losing is even making me kinda dizzy.
“When are we gonna arrive at the car, I’m feeling so sleepy” I complained.
“Soon, we’ll arrive soon, just don’t sleep…talk to me” she replied as we made it to the living room.
I breath heavily, I’m losing way too much blood in such a short period of time.
“Wait.. why did you even confront him when you know he’s holding a gun?” She asked me.
She just want something that will keep me talking, to keep me awake until we arrive at the hospital.. I guess.
“You see someone holding a gun, why didn’t you run for your life? Why did you confront him? Are you a detective?!”
I shook my head, we’ve just made it to the front door.. she opened it and we stepped out.
“He wasn’t holding a gun when I went in, he was even ready to tell me everything.. the truth”
“Then why didn’t he? Why did you got shot instead?”
“He panicked, he heard your voice and got scared.. he thought you came with the police to arrest him”
We stopped by her truck, she opened the passenger door and helped me in… I got in with a painful grunt.
“Why would I come with the police when I don’t even know he’s a bad person?”
“Well, he doesn’t know that. He thought I called you to inform the police.. anyway, I don’t think he’s a bad person”
Matilda got into the driver’s seat and shut the door in a loud bang, like she’s angry.
“Seriously?! After he shot you, you still don’t think he’s a bad person?!”
She started the car, I managed to put on my seatbelt and leaned back on the seat.
“Is he gonna kill you first before you know he’s a bad person?!”
“No, you didn’t heard him talk on phone.. he showed me a man on his phone, it seems like the man is blackmailing him”
Matilda frowned, she drove out of the compound quickly.
“Also, I recognized the man, he’s the third person inside the house where Klaus’ father was murdered…”
“Ok, ok, save your breath until we get you to the hospital.. you can say anything else later” she said.
She reached for her phone and dialed a number, while driving with one hand… I gulped.
“Tilda, I know you’re a driver.. but can you please focus on the road and drive with both hands?”
“Shh!” She hushed me. “I’m trying to call your husband, I wanna inform him of your accident!”
“Oh!”

Authoress’ pov ?
LA city police station…
“Officer Brain, are you sure it’s safe for my client to be in that interview room.. alone with that criminal?!” Marcus asked.
He turned to take a look at Nicklaus inside the interrogation room (interview room)… with Benjamin sitting opposite him.
“Yes, barrister Aurelius, but if you’re scared he’s gonna try something funny on Mr Statham.. I can leave one of my boys outside the door”
Marcus nodded quickly.
“Yes, please do… who knows if Benjamin is hiding a gun or knife” he replied.
Officer Brain turned to one of his boys and ordered him to stand outside the door.
“One more thing, can we hear him from here?” Marcus asked.
Mr Lopez who’s been keeping quiet all these while, groaned and throw a harsh glare at Marcus.
“Are you gonna quietly listen?! Or you wanna step out?!” He growled.
Marcus shut up immediately and started paying attention to Benjamin’s words.

Benjamin sighed.
“I have done so many things all these years, I know my sins are too much that even God can’t forgive me… ”
He paused and chuckled lightly.
“I agree with the fact that I killed your father.. no, I was involved in the death of your father but I’m not the real”
Nicklaus didn’t say a word, he simply kept quiet and wait for Benjamin to continue.
“I don’t know if you know about your mother getting rapped, well, I rapped her… ”
Nicklaus frowned and banged on the table. “You ba$tard!” He growled lowly.
Benjamin nod.
“Yeah, I know.. he told me if I can rappe your mother and get her pre.gnant.. then my child would be the CEO of Statham enterprise.. also, it’ll ruin your parents marriage”
Landing a very hard punch on his lips as he’s speaking is all that’s running through Nicklaus’s mind.. but he held himself back.
“But even after the rappe, we didn’t get the results we wanted… Your father loved your mother so much that he didn’t even question your paternity. I couldn’t wait any longer, I had to do something.. so I colluded with him and we killed your father.. though I did it in hopes that you’re my son and I can make you the CEO”
He studied Nicklaus’s expression and adjusted on his chair, he can feel Nicklaus’s getting ready to punch him anytime.
“I fought with others, when the other shareholders were questioning your identity.. I told them you’re Richard’s son and his only heir because I strongly believed that getting my son the CEO position.. is also making my dream come true! But little did I know that you’re not my son, but Richard’s… I only found out after doing a DNA test.. I got angry and faked my accident and died.. in hopes of coming back to get the position from you!”
“Let me get something straight..you found out I wasn’t your son and you wanted to kill me to get the CEO?”
Benjamin nod.
“Yes! That was my plan, but I just realized something.. I wouldn’t have gotten the CEO even if I had killed you.. I was too blind by greed to actually see that I’m being used”
Nicklaus narrowed his eyes at him, a lot of thoughts are going on in his head right now.
“You said someone deadlier than you is coming… Who is he? Was he the one that instigated you to fight for the CEO position?”
“Yes.. he told me I can be the CEO, because I started Statham enterprise with Richard.. back then when we started Statham, Richard and I had the same share percent.. but thinking about it now, I got to know he’s just using me… he would have gotten rid of me too”
“Who is he?”
Benjamin stared at Nicklaus, he’s contemplating wether to tell him or not… after all he (Benjamin) is already in prison and he knows the penalty awaiting him.
He’s thinking wether he should let Nicklaus find out on his own.. or tell him.
“Benjamin, tell me who he is. Do you want to suffer alone? After he deceived you and made you do so many evils things?”
Benjamin clenched his jaw.
“Do you want him to move about freely, while you’re locked up in prison?”
“He’s your uncle… Anthony!”
Nicklaus’s eyes grew wide, he banged on the table and got up.
“Liar! You’re lying!”
“Nicklaus, what should I lie for? I’m already locked up in a dark room… ”
“You’re lying! My uncle just came back from Greece and you want to cause discord between us!”
Nicklaus doesn’t wanna believe his uncle is the mastermind, his uncle has always loved him since he was a kid.
“Your uncle is not who you think he is, he hates you because he thinks you’re a ba$tard!”
“That’s enough! I’ve heard enough!”

Marcus turned to Mr Lopez, there’s a frown on his forehead.
“Benjamin said Nicklaus’s uncle is behind everything, but why does Nicklaus strongly believed his uncle is innocent?”
“Because his uncle pretended to love him most when he was a kid.. while Nicklaus’s dad was being strict with him, his uncle spoiled him”
Marcus nodded. “Then what should we do now? Nicklaus won’t let us arrest his uncle since he thinks his uncle is innocent”
Mr Lopez stayed silent and stared at Nicklaus closely.
“Nicklaus believe him”
“Then why is he saying Benjamin is lying?” Marcus asked.
“Only he can answer that when he comes out!”
They heard Nicklaus banged on the table and stormed out of the interview room…
“Officer Brain, watch your prisoners closely” he turned to Mr Lopez and Marcus. “Dad, let’s go!” He said.
Without asking any questions, they left.
********
“Nicky, why did you tell Benjamin he’s lying?” Marcus asked.
They’re currently standing in the parking lot, where they parked their cars.
“Benjamin was recording our conversation.. his confession is true but I think their main aim is to know if I’ll believe him or my uncle! He haven’t repented even in prison!”
Mr Lopez nodded.
“You did well, Anthony will think you still trust him and come closer to you again.. he’ll make it easier for us to put him behind bars for good!”
“Since we know he’s the mastermind, why we can’t we just arrest him straight up?”
Mr Lopez laughed shortly.
“Have you seen a bad man settled in a place?” He asked.
Marcus frown in confusion.
“They’re always on the run, we can’t catch him if we want to… Nicklaus just have to play dumb along with him…an opportunity will come for us to put him behind bars!”
“Ohh!” Marcus exclaimed quietly and nod in understanding.
Right at that moment, Nicklaus’s phone started ringing in Marcus’s hand.. he handed it to Nicklaus.
“Hello?” He answered the call without checking the caller’s ID.
“Mr Statham, it’s me, Matilda”
“Yeah.. sorry for the inconveniences, but I hope you’re with my wife already?”
“Em.. there’s a little accident and she was shot, though… ”
“She was shot?!”
Mr Lopez ears perked up at that statement, he blinked rapidly.
“Quick, take her to the hospital, I’ll be there right away”
“We’re already at the hospital and she’s been attended to… ”
Nicklaus hanged up and jumped into his car, Graham has been holding the door open.
“Nicklaus what happened to Nina?” Mr Lopez asked before Graham could close the door.
“She was shot, I don’t know the details but I must go to the hospital now!”
Graham shut the door and jumped into the driver’s seat.. he started the car and drove off.

Anastasia’s pov ?
LA city hospital…
I sighed as I move my shoulder gently.. it’s no longer as heavy as when the bullet was still inside.
“Thank you, Raymond!” I thanked doctor Hemsworth.. he’s the doctor that attended to me.
“You’re welcome, but how did you manage to get shot?” He asked me.
“Hmm, it’s a long story” I replied.
Matilda walked in and slump onto the couch, she tossed her phone on the table and stared at my shoulder.
“Thankfully, the bullet did hit any vital part!” She said.
“Yeah” doctor Hemsworth chipped in. “Also, stop moving your shoulder!” He scolded me, slapping my shoulder lightly.
He walked towards the door, he stopped and turned to me.
“Oh…you can leave after 30 minutes!” He said then head out.
I laid back on the bed gently, a long yawn left my mouth.
After a few minutes, I started craving for something sour to eat… something like grapes!
“Tilda, can you get me some grapes?” I asked.
“Since when do you like grapes?” She asked me back.
“Since I got pregnant, please go get me some” I pleaded.
“Nope! I’m tired, you can go get it yourself”
“Please, please, please with the cherry on top”
“No.. I’m really tired” she said.
“Fine! I’ll go get it myself!” I said.
I sprint out of the bed and groaned quietly, I guess my movement was too fast and it affected my shoulder.
“I’ll be back in a GP” I said.
“Hmm!” She hummed.
I walked to the door and stepped out, immediately I stepped out, I saw Klaus coming towards me with long strides.
There’s a frown on his forehead, I can’t tell if it’s an angry frown or a worried frown.. he haven’t seen me yet.
I quickly ran and hide in a corner, if I let him see me he won’t let me buy my grapes anymore.
He marched into my ward, I came out of hiding and ran towards the exit to go get my grapes.
I’m not gonna take too much time, I’ll just get the grapes and come back quickly.
But I ran into a wall instead, I groaned and looked up… My eyes widened in shock as fear grip me.
Is this reality? Or am I dreaming?! This can’t be happening….
