Nicholas

I rolled the now stained white sleeve up as I made my way out of the basement. People immediately rushed into the room and cleaned up the mess.

"Boss, " someone called out to me. I stop walking and turn to face the person calling me. Jeremy, my right-hand man jogged over to me and handed me a file.

"What is this?" I asked him while flipping through the file.

"It's the file about Jack Altar, sir." I waved him off and continued walking to my car.

"Drive back to the mansion, " I told my driver. He simply nodded and started the engine. I laid back and threw the file aside. I'll deal with that later. For now, I will just relax-

Suddenly, out of nowhere the car holt. I grabbed onto the door as the car screech and my body slams towards the front then straight back onto the seat. I panted and glared at the window blocking me from my driver.

"What was that for!" I yelled at him. The window came down and he stares at me with shocked eyes.

"S-sir, I apologize...but I almost r-ran over a g-girl."

I threw my hands up onto the air. "So. Just keep driving. Our lawyer can deal with their stupidity of walking in the middle of the road."

"But, sir-"

I open the door and decided to have a chat with the girl who came straight in front of my car instead of arguing with my driver. But the sight in front of me made me take a double back. A girl was laid on some guy's arms as her head bleed out. A bunch of people were surrounding her but did nothing but yelled for help.

I let out a sigh of annoyance and place my sunglasses on. Should I help her or let her die. Nah, I'm not that heartless. I walk over to them and flick a finger at anyone who was in my way.

"Move, " I grumble at the crowd. They scrambled away like ants as I bent down to the girl and dude.

"Give her to me."

The guy's eyes widen, "Excuse me?"

I rolled my eyes and stretch my arms out.

"Give her to me so I can take her to a hospital." My bits of patience were running low. I should be in my office finishing up some paperwork. Not deal with this. But yet again it was my fault for stopping and trying to help. They are strangers after all.

"What no! You were the one who nearly ran over her." He said as he pulled the girl farther away from me.

I snap my fingers and instantly a couple of my guys who were following me came over and surrounded us.

"Give her to me or you can kiss your face goodbye, " I threaten him.

He rushed over to me and placed her into my arms. I nodded at my men to let him go and watch as he scrambled away. His pants falling as he trip over his pants. What a joke.

"Call Dr. Film and get me back to the mansion, asap, " I ordered.

I got back into the car and ignored the mumbles surrounding me. I glance at the girl in my arms as the door slam shut. She was quite beautiful but beauty can be deceiving. I placed her on the seat next to me and pulled out my phone.

"Get the guest room ready, " I ordered before hanging up.

I look at the girl again and snorted to calling her beautiful. What an idiot I am.

-*-

"Sir. Dr. Film is already in the guest room."

"Good, " I said as I carry the girl to the room. Jeremy opened the door for me and help me placed her onto the bed.

"What happened to her?" Dr. Film asked the moment I placed her down. He opened his doctor's stuff and quickly went to work.

"Do I look like I know? All I know is that she hit her head."

"I see." If he wasn't my family's doctor I would have strangled him for asking me questions. Just do your job and quit wasting my time.

"Sir, your mother is here." I rubbed my temple. This day can not get any worse. I left the room and went down to greet my over-hyper mother who was pacing in the living room.

"Nicholas!" She yelled when she saw me. She ran over to me and kiss my cheeks. I resist the urge to wipe my cheeks as she hugged me. I didn't want her to slap me for wiping away her "mama's kisses."

"Why are you here, mother? Shouldn't you be with dad?" I asked.

For all, I know my father wouldn't let her go anywhere alone. He would trail off with her, if not he would make me come with her.

She waved my question off and made an annoyed face, "Don't mention him. He's too clingy. I don't have to be with him 24/7. Besides I heard you brought a girl home."

My eyes widen and I immediately let out a fit of coughs. Mama quickly rubbed my back as I glare at Jermey who was looking away and whistling.

"Are you alright, dear?"

"*cough* yes, mother. I am, but someone surely won't be, " I mumbled the second part.

I'm going to kill him for informing my mama. Now she will try and ship us together. Not going to happen. Not anytime soon.

"Now that you are alright. Show me the girl!!" She said, her voice laced with excitement. She tugged onto my sleeve and dragged me upstairs. I stare at Jeremy and mouthed 'Karma is a bitch.' His eyes widen before he dashed himself out of the house.

"Oh. I can't wait to meet her. Is she bea-oh to me!" She covered her mouth as she stares at the bandaged-up girl. She spins around and glares at me. I took a step back from the sudden anger attack.

"What did you do to her?!"

My face scrunched up from the question.

"What makes you think I did anything to her? Why are you blaming me?" I asked her, still can't get over the fact that my own mother blamed me when she barely even met the girl.

"Than what happens to he-"

She was interrupted by a groan from the girl laying on the bed. We both turn our attention to her and watch as she groans and slowly opened her eyes.

My mind blew away and my heart raced when her grey eyes stared into mine.

Oh no.
