Chapter 153

Elena’s POV:

My eyes widened when I could recognise the person who had just saved my life from those thugs. It can’t be him. I doubted my eyes.

“Nicklaus,” I called his name to see if my eyes were deceiving me.

He stopped on his track and turned to look at me before he walked out of the room. He didn't say a word. Just a heartbroken look, and he disappeared. My mouth was slightly parted, and I felt a little heartbroken. I just wanted to thank him for what he did.

"Let's go, Elena. I will drop you off,” Sam spoke, holding my arms.

“Its fine. Sam. The staff car will take me home. You should go home and get some rest,” I said softly.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

“Yes, Sam. Please,” I said and turned around.

I grabbed my stuff and got into the staff car waiting for me outside. Throughout the whole ride, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier and how Nicklaus saved me. He looked so mysterious that I could barely recognise me.

Why didn't he respond when I called him? His facial expression showed no form of expression.

After a short while, the car came to a stop. “Ma'am, we are here,” the driver spoke gently.

I snapped back to reality and looked through the window. “Wow, that was fast. We are already here. Thank you so much for tonight,” I said and got out of the car.

I quietly walked in when I noticed that everywhere was quiet. Zoey and Wave should be asleep already. I tiptoed and walked into the waves room, trying not to make any noise.

The reflection from the moonlight rested on his face, and he slept peacefully. “Mummy loves you. Good night, my darling,” I whispered and kissed him on the forehead.

“Good night, mummy,” Wave spoke up; his voice was husky and barely audible.

I slowly walked out of the room and closed the door behind me. I got to my room and collapsed on my bed. The event of what had happened tonight still replayed in my head. It was fresh, and I felt scared and all alone.

I wondered what I would have done if Nicklaus hadn't come to my rescue. I would have been robbed and badly injured. It's a good thing that he arrived just in time. Sam also arrived just in time to be there for me.

I felt bad that Nicklaus didn't even give me the chance to thank him. He left in haste, and why did he disguise himself? Was he hiding from someone? Well, its a good thing he was there in time to save me from the hands of those thugs.

I turned to the other side of my bed, facing the moon. “I will thank him when I see him at work tomorrow, and I will make sure that I avoid closing late at night.” I whispered to myself and buried my head on the pillow before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.
