Chapter 204
Nicol
To say I was shocked when Karen was standing over us and making that remark about me eating was an understatement how on earth did, she find us, I mean this is the second time she pops up at a restaurant where Nicolas was. Was she following him? I thought. “That’s just ridiculous.” I said out load. Geoffrey looked at me “Sorry I missed that?” He asked “Sorry Geoffrey I was speaking to myself.” “Oh.” I tried to distract myself “How was Nikki this morning?” I asked Geoffrey because I didn’t see her. “I would say she was more like her old self again.” “Good that means my talk with her last night worked.” I put my head back on the headrest and closed my eyes but all I saw was Karen and Nicolas in the restaurant. And my brain started to go in overdrive, why wouldn’t she leave us alone? Where did she get the idea that she will marry Nicolas? Why was Nicolas with her father? I was thinking off all these things when finally, Nicolas got back in the SUV. The first thing I had to ask him was “Are you okay?” “Honestly?” “Yes, off course.” “No, I’m not. I just lost my cool in front of all those people and yelled at Karen and she had the paparazzi there Nicol they have everything on camera, needless to say Nikki will be followed again tomorrow and you. I’m so sorry.” Fuck just what we needed paparazzi again, if I was further along in my pregnancy I would have told Nicolas we should go public with it, that will most definitely change the whole narrative but I’m not willing to do that, I’ll rather sit with the paparazzi.
Nicolas told me about the meeting with Karen’s dad and the fact that he thought they were busy with illegal stuff, but what? Drugs? That was the first thing I could think off. When he said I don’t know half of it, I waited for him to continue but it was like he was in shock or something. “Nicolas.” “Mmmm” “What else happened with Karen’s father?” “Well, when I told him Karen and I are not getting married and that I have a child and a girlfriend he sort of kicked me out which believe me is a blessing. When I got to the lift another man was waiting for it but Nicol, he was so nervous he kept on looking over his shoulder even as the doors closed when we got in the lift he checked if someone else is going to join us.” “Who was this man?” “He is the COO of the company he talked to me in the lift and asked me if I was Karen’s newest victim?” “Seriously?” “Yes, apparently, he was her victim before me. He slept with her once cheating on his wife because they were going through stuff but Karen didn’t stop, she tortured him for a year Nicol.” “I don’t know if I can handle her for a year Nicolas.” “I know I can’t.” “Then what is the solution?” “Well Dickson that’s his name told me I should get someone else for her to fixate on then she will leave us alone. He actually felt very bad because he send her my way.” “He did what?” I asked him shocked. “Nicol I can’t really blame the guy I was an easy target; she is a model and didn’t have red hair.” He touched my hair. “That was my only criteria and the whole fucking world knew it.” “Well, when you put it that way you where an easy target, but are you willing to do this to someone else?” “What is the alternative Nicol?” “I know.”
“Well actually I already have a plan in the works. I just didn’t tell you I was afraid you would stop me.” “Oh, dear God what is the plan?” “I asked Luther to have drinks with Anton and Karen.” I had to interrupt him. “You going to make Karen Anton’s problem?” “I am don’t you think it’s a brilliant plan? I mean they deserve each other.” “If you told me last night, I would have told you no you can’t do that to him but after today I’m all for it. So, what is the plan?” “I asked Luther to tell them, if they are dating and appear in the papers, I might get jealous and take Karen back. Anton will do it just to fuck with me at this stage.” “How is that going to help us, Nicolas?” “I’m hoping that Karen falls for Anton in the time they play pretend.” “What about Candy?” “You know what Nicol she will be collateral damage but I really don’t care in fact I’m doing her a favor his just with her for her father’s money in any case.” “Okay I get it, what else did this Dickson guy say?” “I asked him to join me for coffee he told me to go so long he didn’t want anyone to see us together, when he got to the coffee shop, he was a nervous wreck Nicol he kept on looking over his shoulder. I asked him about their business and he said nothing not a word. When I asked him if they where busy with illegal stuff, he just looked at me.” I was looking at him but my mind was running with all sorts of ideas but the first one that came out was “What if we try to find out what kind of business dealings this Malonie Inc does. We can use that to threaten Karen in leaving us alone, exposing her father. I’m very sure she will leave us alone then and if she doesn’t, we take what we know to her father and maybe he can get her to back down.” “That is a brilliant plan Nicol but do we really want to be in the cross hair of a man we know nothing about I mean if his COO is so scared that his being followed, fuck Nicol I don’t know.” “What about we wait and see if your plan works if it doesn’t, we have a backup plan.” “Okay but I really hope my plan works I don’t want to get involved with William Malonie in any way or form.”
