Chapter 208
Nicolas
I was shocked when I heard Jeff’s reaction, does this mean he knows what they are in to, or did he have dealings with them before? “What do you mean ‘Oh Fuck’ Jeff?” “Well, I know off them but it’s pure speculations and its things you won’t find on google. It’s nothing concrete you can take to William Malonie and threaten him with. He will laugh in your face.” “Well spill it, what do you know?” “I’ve heard they are into everything that is illegal Nicolas, Firearms, ammunition, drugs, uncut diamonds, human trafficking, selling slaves children or otherwise, do I need to go on?” “Fuck.” “Exactly what I said.” “How can we get concrete evidence?” “Very very carefully.” “Are you up for it?” I asked Jeff, because I didn’t want him to do something that would be too dangerous for him. “I’m up for it, it will just take time, if I dig, I need to dig where no one will look.” “Okay I’m not in a hurry not yet at least.” “For the love of God, I hope your other plan works.” “Me to Jeff me to. We’ll speak again, thank you for the information on Kevin.” “My pleasure and let me know if your plan worked.” “I will.”
When I put the phone down, I called Rika she answered almost immediately. “Nicolas.” “Hi Rika just want to let you know there was an incident today and there might be paparazzi at the gates this afternoon.” “No worries I’ll be ready for them.” “There is something else Rika, I know I asked Kevin to protect Nikki but I want you to keep him away from the paparazzi, I’ll tell you later why but it’s very important they don’t take pictures of Kevin.” “Okay, I’ll see to it.” “Thank you, Rika.” I disconnected the call and sat back in my chair. I couldn’t believe Kevin and his mom is on the run and then I put him in the face of the storm. I really hope the paparazzi hasn’t caught him on camera yet.” I grabbed my laptop and started to google images of us but especially images of Nikki at school and thank God there was no picture of him which was a huge relief.
There was a knock on my door then Nicol slipped in “Sweetheart.” I said as I looked at my watch, I couldn’t believe it and hour and a half has passed already. She walked into my arms; I held her to me hugging her. “Did you have a nice nap?” “I did. What are you doing?” “I just got off the phone with Jeff my PI.” “Oh, and what is the news on Kevin?” “You wouldn’t believe it if I told you.” “I hope it’s not to bad.” “It’s not bad for Nikki but it is bad for Kevin and his mom.” “What is it, Nicolas?” “Apparently they are running from an abusive father/husband.” “No.” She said in absolute shock. “Indeed, and Kevin isn’t his legal name nor is Lesley the mothers legal name, her husband/father has put both of them in ICU with broken bones, his a big oil tycoon, Jeff thinks his definitely looking for Kevin. Because Kevin is his legacy, Kevin will have to take over the company.” “Oh no.” “Yes, I was so afraid I put him in jeopardy because I asked him to look after Nikki, I was afraid they took a picture of him but I checked and there is no sign of him on any photos. I phoned Rika and told her to keep him inside the building today, I’m not sure how she’s going to achieve that but she said she would.” “You think we should help them?” “No, how are we going to explain why we are helping them? And besides, apparently the Lesley’s, father is also wealthy so his paying for everything.” “Oh, I’m glad someone helps her.” “Yes, but this also explained Kevin’s eagerness to protect Nikki.” “Why?” “Well Kevin is still a male and we like to protect; he couldn’t protect his mom from his dad and now he can protect someone. He can protect Nikki, I just hope it doesn’t come back to bite him or his mother in the ass.” “I really hope his careful.”
Nicol
When Nicolas told me about Kevin and his mom, my heart ached for them. To run to another state just to get away from someone that is supposed to protect you is terrible. I really wanted to help them in a way maybe I can think of something. “You hungry?” Nicolas asked. “Actually, I am, something put me off my breakfast this morning.” “You can say that again it was defnitily a something and not a person.” Nicolas took my hand and lead me to the kitchen where Isabella was starting with dinner but also Nikki’s sandwich. “What can I get you two?” she asked as we walked into the kitchen. “No Isabella, I’ll make us something.” I told her. “Nicol it’s my job please go sit down and just tell me what you are in the mood for.” “Would you believe me if I say toast with Avo and egg?” that had Nicolas laughing. “Oh, that’s definitely my baby in there.” He said. Isabella smiled “and you Nicolas?” “You can make me the same Isabella thank you.”
Nicolas and I was just finished with our lunch when Nikki stormed into the kitchen looking straight at her dad and without even saying hello to either of us, she said “Why couldn’t Kevin walked me to the car?” Her hands where on her hips and she looked so mad, I actually wanted to laugh but this was not a laughing matter. All Nicolas did was say “Hello Nikki how was you day?” “I asked you a question.” She tried again. “Nikki!” I warned her. “No mom I want an answer. I deserve an answer” My blood pressure was rising with every second Nikki was standing there with her hand on her hip, we had this talk of entitlement just yesterday and now, now she’s forgotten all about it. “If you calm down and greet both your mom and me then we can talk but not before you drop that attitude.” I must say Nicolas handled that much better than I would have.
