Chapter 152
Nicolas
I was really not ready to tell Nicol that that fucker is indeed not locked up but has gotten out, she’s going to freak out. Then I need to tell her about the security I got for the shelter as well. When she said that he was locked up and wouldn’t bother her anymore I knew I had to ripped the band aid. “Sweetheart, I called the police last night after you went to bed.” “Yes?” “His not locked up he is out on bail.” “Oh my God how? How is that even possible? And Mia fuck what’s going to happen to Mia?” “Nicol breath okay, he got connections that is how he is out, but I know who he is I will have a word with him.” “You can’t Nicolas what if he wants to hit you?” “Well, I hope he knocks me out because I will knock him out. And Mia is safe I organized a security guard for the shelter last night, I spoke to Carol and she was very happy with it, she said there was a big possibility that fucker would have gone back last night.” “Oh my God. You think he will come back for me?” “I don’t know Nicol I want to say no, but it seems he has a few screws loose and the fact that you did call the police for him might aggravate him a bit.”
“Okay so if Geoffrey is with me, who will go with you when you see him?” “Nicol, you do know I know how to look after myself right, I’m not sure if you remembered what happened to that guy that fucked with you in Uni?” “Yes, I remember but that was Uni you have a reputation you have to uphold now I don’t want you to assault the guy and land up in prison yourself.” “I promise I will just go and have a chat with him okay, I won’t throw the first punch.” “I guess I should be happy with that.” “I would think so.” I got up and gave her a kiss on the forehead. “I worry more about you sweetheart, please be careful.” “I will. There is more I want to ask you.” “Shoot.” “I know we need to raise funds before we do anything for the shelter but can I use of my own money so long just to get each room a microwave and then bedding and curtains that would cheer up the place already.” “Whatever money you spend keep the receipts sweetheart. I suggest you get a folder and mark it then put everything in there.” “Okay I will.” “Well then I have to leave.” “Wait for Geoffrey, he can take you, I’ll wait for him to come back.” “You sure?” “Yes, Nicolas, I’m sure.”
We didn’t wait long for Geoffrey to return from dropping of Nikki at school. I called him and told him to wait for me downstairs. He gave me a miss call to let me know he was back I kissed Nicol “Please be safe.” “I will be I promise. You to.” Then I was off. When I got to Geoffrey, I told him the first stop we are going to make was at Anton VanDyk’s jewelry store, it wasn’t far from my office and I was ready to look the man in the eye that assaulted my Nicol. Before I got out Geoffrey insisted that he parked the car and come in with me but I wanted to face him alone, I want him to know I wasn’t afraid of him, he might push around women but he will not push me around. As I walked into the jewelry store the bell went off and a cute petite blond was standing behind the counter. “Morning Sir, Can I help you?” “Yes, I’m looking for Mr. VanDyk.” “I’ll go and call him.” She disappeared to the back of the store leaving me alone to browse. A few minutes later a man came walking out the back of the jewelry store.
“How can I help you?” He asked giving me his hand. “Well Anton, you don’t mind me calling you Anton, do you?” “Do I know you?” He asked a bit confused “No but you seem to think it is a good idea to assault my girlfriend on the street so I guess maybe we should know each other.” “I have no idea what you are talking about.” He said with actual fear in his eyes. The petite blond was also watching me intensely. “Well Anton it seems like you think if you can assault your own wife landing her in a women shelter you can do the same to mine.” “Barb go to the back.” He yelled at the petite blond. She basically ran to the back of the store. “I don’t like you coming into my work place and accusing me of things you know nothing about.” “So, you are telling me my girlfriend was mistaken when you wrapped your filthy paws around her neck leaving marks there.” “That is not what I said, but your girlfriend should know how to mind her own business.” “She doesn’t have to mind her own business when you make a scene in the middle of the street.” “I needed to see my wife what is wrong with that?” “Well Anton.” I sneered his name. “When your wife run away to a women shelter and get a protection order against you, I take it she doesn’t want to talk to you and you need to respect that.” “Mind your own business.” He said to me. “Well, the minute you put your hands on what is mine you became my business. Now I would listen very carefully to me if I was you.”
“What? What do you want?” He asked with an attitude I wished I could hit off his face, but I promised I wouldn’t throw the first punch. “I’ve hired security for the shelter, come near them again and I will get you arrested, I don’t care if the police need to arrest you every single day your friends will get tired of bailing you out. And come as close as 10 feet of my girlfriend and this conversation will go very differently do we understand each other?” “I hear you.” “That is not what I asked you I asked, do you understand me?” “Yes, fine yes I understand.” “Good.” Then I turned around and walked out of the store. Mission accomplished, hopefully he sticks with his word although I doubt it, I will come back here that’s a given
