Chapter 68 - Sixty-eight : Her Puppy (2/2)

I was alert throughout the day , hoping to witness how this would end up but unfortunately my mood turned sour when I discovered the official statement that man released moments later. So I wasn't going to experience any fight ? How disappointing.

But instead of going to bed that night , I persisted and stayed awake until that man came back home.I knew Maya was in the garden and that Nik would go to find her there, so I positioned myself comfortably near my window ; binoculars in hand.

I watched their interaction with keen interest but my face scrunched up when I discovered she didn't do any of the scenario I made-up in my head - tsk tsk, what a disappointment .

So much for putting my hope on her

But just as I was about to go to sleep and leave those couples to themselves, something caught my attention. I immediately brought the binoculars to my face and zoomed in on them - Wait a minute, was he sleeping?

Suddenly, a malevolent smirk appeared on my face : I was going to give Maya a piece of my mind for failing to meet up to my expectations

I instinctively knew she was going to look for help in getting Nik to the house, so I grabbed my phone and called the patrol team who normally strolls that area every five minutes and kept them busy.

I observed her, waiting for that moment when she tries to call for help with her cellphone while I come up with another plan to counter her effort. But when she didn't reach for her phone, I figured out it was already dead cause I saw her with it earlier.

It seems the universe was on my side today.

I watched her struggle for a good five minutes before she managed to get him into the house and I went to bed with a smile on my face.

The sunlight filtering through the curtains woke me up and I groaned in annoyance - I was late to witness it.

I had already planned a prank on that man and hoped I wasn't too late to witness the look on his face.

That man enjoys a strong cup of black coffee every morning without sugar, milk, cream or added flavours, which he prepares by himself. So he normally purchases this high-quality Arabica beans cultivated at high altitudes.

But unknown to him, I had already bought and mixed fenugreek seeds which blends in with the colour of his roasted coffee beans which I'm sure he wouldn't take a second glance at before brewing it in the coffeemaker .

Fenugreek seeds are bitter and are considered unpalatable without the addition of a flavoring agent - So you can imagine the look on his face when he sips his well-prepared coffee drink -

mwahahahaha.

So I rushed downstairs hoping I wasn't too late to witness this prank of the century. I could hear Amanda's music playing in the background but who cares - I have a face to watch.

But what I saw next wasn't what I expected, I arrived in the kitchen only to see the man doing a moonwalk accompanied by a spin turn, stopping right in front of me - what the f*ck .

He was startled just as I was , but what he did next to cover his shame wasn't what I expected at all .

This man called Niklaus squatted down and placed a chaste kiss on my forehead saying ” Good morning my angel ” while I stood frozen like the North Pole.

What just happened? Why was my heart beating so fast ? Was this some kind of trick? A new plan to make me lower my guard around him? A sort of mental attack cause I was thinking in zeroe's and one's at the moment?

” Are you OK ? ” Amanda asked out of nowhere scaring the wits out of me.

I shook my head and stuttered ” W- where is that man?”

Amanda frowned ” Which man? ”

I rake my hands through my hair, ” I don't mean Niklaus but the man impersonating Niklaus?” I asked Amanda whose frown deepened.

There was no way that man was Niklaus, my so called father ? That man had never held my hand since mommy died so there was no way the man who just pecked me on the head was the same Niklaus Spencer. There had to be a reasonable explanation for that - maybe it's his secret twin or doppelganger - this is stupid!

” Your father just went to his room with.... ”

I didn't stay to hear the rest of Amanda's words cause I rushed upstairs to his room - I had to confirm something else I'll go crazy.

The door was half opened so I just pushed the door and... oh.

Yelp, that man is definitely Niklaus Spencer.
