Chapter 259

Nicolas

Okay here it goes.  “Sweet pea I had a private investigator look into Kevin and his mom.”  “You did what?  Why?”  She screamed at me.  Nicol touched her arm.  “No screaming Nikki or we are not going to give you the answers you want.”  “You knew about this?”  “Off course I did your dad and I don’t have secrets from each other, not anymore.”  “Why dad?”  “Because he was seeing you and something didn’t feel right, I wanted to know who my little girl was dating.”  “Will this happen to every boyfriend I will have for the rest of my life?”  “I don’t know? Maybe.”  “Well at least you are honest.”  “I’ll aways be honest sweet pea and I don’t regret looking into them we could have done something to put Kevin or Devin’s life in danger?”  “Like what?”  She asked full of attitude.  “Sweet Pea let me start at the beginning then I can tell you what the consequences could have been.”  “Fine” she said crossing her arms over her chest.

“Kevin and his mom are on the run from his father.”  “What?” She asked totally shocked.  “Angel let your dad finish before all the questions okay.”  “Fine.”  “See Kevin’s father is a real piece of shit, he hit Kevin and his mom, Kevin has been in hospital multiple times with broken bones and cracked ribs.  His father is very very rich and has been looking for Kevin and his mom since they left him in the middle of the night and ran off.  If the paparazzi took a picture of you and he was in it it would have given their location away and his father would have come for them.  See if you have as much money as him you think you can get away with anything but it also means you have the power to look for his son and his mother.  If I had to guess I would say, that Kevin’s father traced them to New York someone warned his mother and now they are running again.”  “But can’t you do something to help them?”  “Like what?” “I don’t know let them stay here or something?”  “That won’t work sweet pea they would be prisoners in the house because Kevin’s father will have men outside the apartment building waiting for him to come out and then they will grab him and take him back to Texas.”  “Texas?”  She asked confused

“Yes Kevin is from Texas his father is deep into oil that side and his grandfather. He has to take over his father’s business when he turns 21 I think.”  ‘But can’t his mother go to the police?  Why do they need to run? Isn’t there some way they can be safe?”  “Only one and that is if his father died.”  “Oh….  What I don’t understand why does his mother allow the father to hit them?”  Nicol took her hand in hers.  “Angel it’s not a matter of allowing some men are just evil like that, they like to hit their women and children and then when they say I’m sorry they expect them to forget about it and go on with their lives until the next time.”  “But it’s so unfair towards Kevin.”  “It is angel but his mother is doing the best she can to keep Kevin safe.”  Nikki looked back at me and asked “Dad, can you try and help them, even if it’s just to get them safely out of the city.”  “But aren’t they gone yet?”  “No, the last thing Kevin said was his phone will go dead from 9 pm and then I’ll never hear from him again.”  “Okay go grab your phone.”  Nikki ran to her room to grab her phone that was probable on charge.

“What are you going to do?”  Nicol asked me.  “I’m going to offer them my jet?”  “That’s so nice of you Nicolas.”  “It’s the least we can do what if they pictured Kevin with Nikki and that is why they’ve been found?”  “I haven’t thought about that.”  Nikki came running back into the room.  “Here’s his number.”  I dialed the number and a small boy’s voice came over the phone.  “Hi Nikki.”  Kevin said.  “Kevin it’s Nikki’s dad can I speak to your mom.”  “Oh, hi sir mom is busy.”  “Please Kevin.”  I heard him walked then said “It’s Nikki’s dad.”  “Nicolas?”  She answered the phone.  “Lesley, I know everything.”  “How?”  “It doesn’t matter I want you to take my jet and fly to where ever you want to go, if you fly with your dad’s he will be able to track you he doesn’t know about me.”  “We can’t?” She more asked than said.  “I’m offering and I’ll do anything to keep you and Kevin safe.”  “Do you need to give in a flight plan?”  “No tell the pilot where you want to go.”  “Are you sure?”  “Yes, I’ll make the arrangements now.”  “Thank you, Nicolas thank, you so much.”  “I only have one request.”  “I should have known there would be a catch.”  “No catch all I want is for us to come and get you and take you to the airport then Nikki and Kevin can say good bye properly.  I’m sure this was both of them first love let’s give them the chance to end it better than in the class room.”  “Okay we’ll be ready in say an hour will that be enough time for you to arrange everything?”  “Yes, we’ll see you in an hour.  Send me your location.”  When I disconnected the call Nikki threw her whole body against my chest.  “Thank you thank you thank you daddy.  Thank you so much.”  “My pleasure sweet pea, now go and get ready.”

Nikki took her phone and ran to her room.  “That was very nice of you especially the part where Nikki and Kevin can say good bye properly.” “I want my baby girl to have only the best and I know the good bye she got in class wasn’t nearly enough but now that she knows the truth she could let him go and wish him luck without having a broken heart for years.”  “I agree but her heart will still be broken just not for years.”  Nicol said. I wasn’t happy to hear that.
