Chapter 64
Nicolas
“You really that protected of her that you would have hit me?” “Yes, and if you give me a chance to fucken speak you would understand why?” “Fine speak I’ll keep my mouth shut.” “Well then let me start at the beginning, you know the Gala I went to last week?” “Yes, you took that nice model Karen with you.” “If you say she’s nice then yes, I took her with, that is when I saw Nicol for the first time in 12 years. She was shocked to see me and needless to say I was shocked to see her. We didn’t speak much and she ran out of the Gala when I wanted to talk.” “I told you, see ……” Luther started. “Luther I’m not done.” “She was upset about Karen about me etc. etc. etc. So, Saturday when I went for a run because I was fucked up in my head, I physically ran into her and her daughter, she looks exactly like me, like in to a T.” “Okay, did she say this is your daughter?” “No, she didn’t have to.” “Fuck man maybe she’s just looking for a handout?” “For the love of God Luther keep quiet.” “She was not looking for a handout in fact if she wanted one, she could have called me anytime in the last 12 years and I would have given her one, so no. The Monday I went to her work, because she’s a nurse now, the same hospital I donate all that money to a year, when I got there, I found out my daughter was sick and in hospital, she’s been sick on and off for the last 12 years and Nicol was working overtime to try and get the money together for the operation she needed. Obviously, I paid for it and since then they’ve been living with me. That’s in short how they ended up with me the reason Nicol left is something different.” “Does this child know you are her father?” “She does now, Nicol told her I was dead, she didn’t want Nikki to look for me.” “Your daughter’s name is Nikki?” “Yes” “I know that is what she called you.” “It was.”
“Now tell me what excuse did she had for leaving you and telling your daughter you are dead?” “My father.” It was all I said to Luther to put 1 and 1 together. “Fuck you lie, seriously?” “Seriously, she went to live in a crappy apartment gave up the thing she loved most in the world became a nurse to put food on the table and have health insurance to raise our daughter in order for me to get all this.” I threw my hands in the air. “I don’t believe it, there must be another reason, maybe the child isn’t yours.” “Believe me she is, in fact she even likes pineapple on her pizza.” “Okay I’m convinced.” He said sarcastically. “Well, I am and I tell you Nikki is mine that is why I want you to draw up a contract stating that I’ll be responsible for all Nikki’s needs, from school to food, everything till the day she’s employed and I want you to set up a trust fund for her.” “Fuck Nicolas don’t you just want to right her a blank check?” “Fuck off Luther, I’m doing it, then I also want you to set up a contract stating I’ll pay Nicol child support to the sum of $60 000 a month and back date it since Nikki was born.” “You want to give her 8 640 000 million?” “If you have a problem with it, I’ll get another lawyer Luther?” “No, I’ll do it, you’ll have the contracts on your desk by business today and I’ll transfer the money as soon as you give me her details.” I took out the folder my PI got together and gave Nicol’s banking details to Luther. “Here you go.” “Fuck she gave you, her details?” “No, she doesn’t know about any of this I want to make her life easier Luther, I want her to start and live again and to dream again and not just think about how she’s going to get through the month.” “I’m not happy with it but I’ll do it.” “Thank you.” Then he left without saying anything else, clearly, he was pissed at me, but he has to do what I say, and that is it.
Nicol
I wondered how school drop off went. I wanted to call Nicolas so many times and find out how it went but I didn’t, I wanted to give him his space to figure ‘us’ out. I know he won’t give me my space tonight and I really don’t mind at all. I can still feel his hands on my hips of last night. I can still taste him. Just thinking about him makes me wet, and that is something I haven’t felt in a very long time. My shift went quite fast, it was clear it was a Monday and there where lot’s of take in over the weekend. Early evening just before I went outside to Geoffrey, I got a chance to look at my phone, there was a notification from my bank stating that there was 8.640 million made into my account. I started to laugh historically. One of the other nurses asked me what was wrong. I played it down “Just a joke.” “Must be a very funny one.” She said. “It is.” As I walked outside Geoffrey was standing outside the car waiting for me. “Hi Nicol.” “Hi Geoffrey how did today go?” “Get in I’ll tell you all about it.” He said like a school girl that wanted to gossip.
I knew the money came from Nicolas and I wasn’t going to take it out on Geoffrey but as God is my witness I will give Nicolas a piece of my mind when Nikki goes to bed. I was so angry with him; does he really think I’m with him for his money? Couldn’t he have discussed it with me before he paid such a big sum of money into my account? Isn’t that the normal thing to do. Geoffrey was talking although I was dying to know what happened with Nikki and the drop off, I was also very distracted by all the money transferred into my account.
