Chapter Eighteen : Have You Slept With My Dad? (2/2)
I assembled around it trying to confirm my eyes weren't deceiving me but it was real. Last night, when Nik introduced the car to me, I didn't give it much attention and just waved it off as a normal sports cars since Nik wouldn't spend so much on a car for me. I mean why would he cause I'm nothing to him than his daughter's nanny but now.... God damn me !He gave me a freaking Bugatti!
The Bugatti Chiron is priced high and touted as the world's most powerful, fastest, and most luxurious super sports car by the manufacturer. It is able to reach 200 km/h in less than 6.5 seconds and hit 300km/h in about 3.6 seconds plus it has a top speed of 420 km/h which is extremely fast. It's worth $2.7 million, hear that? Was Nik trying to get me killed? What if I get kidnapped cause of driving such an expensive car?
Knowing I had no choice, I entered and drove off in my new world's most expensive car and I'm not lieing, it felt good.
I'm a huge lover of cars but I was never treated to such luxury as a child , I only enjoyed a bit after I left home and became independent.
Independence sure comes with a lot of freedom cause I began extreme sports, bungee jumping, surfing, skydiving, you name it and most of all, street racing. It was my own way of releasing my frustrations and stress.
Knowing Izzy was already sent to the police station for questioning, I raced through the roads of California stopping and asking about Isabelle in every police station I could find with no success. I almost gave up hope when at last I found a chestnut haired girl casting her heated amber eyes on an officer who was already dying from frustration.
”Who the hell are your parents?! ”The officer bellowed but Izzy's comment sent my mouth dropping open.
”I have the right to remain silent so keep wasting your breath” Izzy retorted looking around nonchalantly. If anything, she looked bored as if waiting for a drama to unfold.
”fine, I hope you enjoy here” The officer gave up at once leaving her to her fate
”Thank you officer, my father would be so honoured ” Izzy dropped and the officer almost spat blood. It was obvious he couldn't believe what was coming out of the mouth of a ten year old.
”No, he wouldn't be honoured, he would be freaking mad ” I stepped in and saw Izzy's gaze widen and then she frowned
”I wasn't expecting you”
”yeah I know, your dad but your plan failed so stop sulking ” I retorted and saw her release a huff folding her arms stubbornly.
”And you are? ”The officer quizzed and I realized I haven't introduced myself.
”I'm Maya , her guardian ” I said extending my hand for a handshake while beside me, Izzy snorted at the mention of ' guardian '.
”I'm Rob” The officer introduced ignoring my handshake so I carefully tucked my hands into the pocket of my jacket .
”She was caught shoplifting ”
Again.
I motioned to the officer and we moved a few distance away from Izzy who just snorted and looked away
”Izzy is kind of a special child, she has this personal vendetta against her father so she's quite self destructive. She thinks by bringing shame and disgrace to her father that she accomplishes her mission without knowing she harms herself in the process”
”Hmm” Was the only response Rob gave me as he seem to be deep in thought .
”I'll settle whatever damage she've caused and hope..... ”
”She won't have a criminal record as far as you settle the stores and the fines” Rob said and walked out cooly while I kept muttering
”Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ”
Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Izzy try to sneak out but I was quick to catch her this time
”Going somewhere , young lady? ”
Izzy froze and turned around slowly raising her hands in surrender.
”Good for you cause you have a lot of apologies to render ” I said and dragged her around to apologize to Rob for her arrogance and to the store owner for shoplifting after I settled the fines and finally to the whole police force for disturbing their peace.
As I forced her to the car, I saw her gritt her teeth. Atleast, thanks for the disgrace she won't go shoplifting ever again whenever she remembers this.
Yes , you might ask how I got her to apologize to everyone since she wasn't quite afraid of her father.
Well I threatened to tell Anabelle what she's being up-to if she doesn't apologize to everyone . For a fact, I know Isabelle has a huge ego when it comes to Anabelle, she wouldn't want her weakness to be revealed to her enemy . So, that did the Magic
”Nice car” Izzy complimented as soon as she stepped in but I knew she had something up her sleeve. It wasn't like Izzy to be nice
”Thank you but I'll have you know if you're cooking up anything evil don't bother, it won't work with me here”
”I was just trying to be nice”Izzy murmured looking away and silence reigned for a while as I drove home.
The two hours deadline was long over, I was thirty minutes late but I hoped sincerely he was caught up in a meeting or something. Anything whatever that will give me an advantage over him.
”Have you slept with my Dad? ” Izzy asked out of nowhere and I choked.
”What?! ” I asked bewildered ”Why would I do that? Your dad has a girlfriend for heaven's sake”
” You're pretty and my Dad sleeps with any one pretty, girlfriend or not ”
”Where did you hear that? ”
”I'm not stupid ” She retorted and looked away and just when I was about to believe her answer, she said
”My mom told me ”
If I wasn't so concentrated on my driving, I would have slammed my car somewhere from shock . I was stunned, why would a late mother tell her young child such a thing?
I turned to face Izzy whose emotion was a mess, she suddenly looked like a normal ten year old with no clue how to face the world
” Baby girl” I coaxed ” Your father is single and an adult, he has the right to handle his sex life however he wants and bear the consequences ” I added suddenly
”But that doesn't mean I've slept with him and don't intend to, I'm married to my job and my job alone . Moreover I don't fancy the idea of sleeping with my boss, trust me it gets awkward afterward”
Suddenly Izzy smirked ” Don't worry, I know you don't have the guts”
I scoffed horrified, this girl sure knows how to destroy one's morale. After that shocking revelation we drove in silence, each of us left to our thoughts.
By the time I reached home Amanda was outside waiting for me with a solemn expression and I knew he was back.
I'm toasted.
