Chapter 154

“No, no, please don't go away. Don't leave me,” I whispered in my dreams as I stirred on the bed.

I saw a figure walking out on me, and I was pleading for her to stay. I cried my eyes out as I pleaded, but she walked away without looking back.

Immediately, my eyes opened, and I gasped for air. My chest was rising and falling rapidly, and my mouth was dry.

I sat upright when I realised that it was just a dream. The recurring nightmare that I had been getting. I wiped my sweaty forehead and allowed my breathing to be stable before walking to the bathroom.

I splashed cold water on my face and inhaled deeply, trying to catch my breath. I had not had this nightmare for a long time, and I was happy that it had stopped occurring. Why then did I have it time around?

“What could be going in?” I muttered silently to myself, my eyes darting around the bathroom.

Does it mean that Nicklaus wants to take my child away from me? Immediately, I remembered Wave, and I stroked out of my room to his room.

“Jason Wave!” I called gently. “Wave,”

I quickly opened his door to see him lying peacefully on the bed, and I sighed, feeling a little relieved.

“It was just a nightmare,” I whispered and closed my eyes as I inhaled deeply.

“What a nightmare!” a voice called, which caused me to jump. My eyes widened in shock.

I turned around to see Zoey, and I rolled my eyes. “You startled me,” I spoke, and I walked to the sofa.

“Well, you startled me first in my sleep. Why did you run out of your room like that? Was anything chasing you?” She asked as she walked to the kitchen and poured two glasses of water.

“You should take it easy on yourself,” she said, walking to the sofa and handing the glass of water to me.

“Thank you, Zoey,” I said and gulped it down. When I felt refreshed, I looked at her.

“Are you ready to spill now?” she said.

I giggled, and she smiled, “You know me so damn well. I almost got robbed last night, and Nicklaus came to save me.”

Her eyes widened, and she adjusted her sitting position. “You don't mean it; how do you feel now? Hope you weren't hurt,” she asked, and I shook my head.

“No, I wasn't,” I said and narrowed my eyes, “but something strange happened,” I explained.

“What could it be?”

“Nicklaus was dressed as a mysterious man, and he walked out on me. I called to thank him, but he didn't even wait for me to speak,” I said.

“Wow!” Zoey said and sipped her water.

“That’s not it. I also had a nightmare just now, which was why I ran to check up on Wave.” I paused for a while, lost in thought.

“Do you think Nicklaus is stalking me and my child?” I asked, fixing my gaze at Waves portrait.

Zoey shook her head. “Baby girl, you are thinking so much about this. Don't let it get to you. You have no idea why he dresses like that and he only helped you out. You should be thankful,” she said.

I nodded my head. “I will have a word with him in the morning,” I said.

“You better do. Now let's get to bed. We have a long day today,” she said, and we both stood up and walked to our rooms.

I lay on my bed and forced myself back to sleep.

It was a bright, sunny day, and my eyes opened. I rolled out of bed and got into the shower. I decided to take a hot shower to help me feel relaxed. I wrapped a white fluffy towel after that and cleaned up.

I dressed in short denim jeans and a white shirt. I packed my hair in a ponytail and applied a little makeup. I wondered why I was invested in looking good today, but I couldn't find an answer.

I slipped into a boot and walked out of the room. Zoey and Wave were already seated for breakfast.

“I see you both are already dressed up. Hope you both had a good night's rest,” I said.

“Good morning, mummy. Yes, I did. Did you?” wave asked with his tiny voice.

I ran my hands through his hair. “Yes, my love, I said with my eyes on Zoey.

After breakfast, we both left for our various destinations. I quickly went to the hotel and went straight to Nicklaus's room.

I rang the doorbell, but there was no answer. I used my automatic keys and got inside ready to start preparing breakfast and also thanked Nickalus for what he did.

After a few minutes, breakfast was ready, and I set the table. “Mr. Nicklaus, your food is ready,” I said.

The door was opened, and I waited excitedly to thank him, but my eyes widened when a woman dressed in red lingerie, half naked, opened the door.

“Yes, can I help you? I don't think we ordered breakfast. I didn't know this hotel was so generous. I love it.,” she said. “Baby,” she walked inside the room.

My jaw dropped, and my heart shattered into a thousand pieces. Nicklaus had company.
