“Niles would definitely crush her”
True to their word, I knew I was in trouble.Niles wasn’t one to take bull shit from anybody ,so guess what would happen since I just humiliated him in front of everybody but I definitely wasn’t going down without a fight.
I pulled out my phone and called my manager at once. She barely picked up the phone before the scolding began
“Are you crazy?!” She screamed but I didn’t give an ear to her raving
“Save that for later Deborah, I need you to secure the CCTV footage before Niles tampers with them “
“You do know that E2 are meticulous about their clients records and privacy”
“If Niles can lay his hands on them why can’t I? Do everything to get your hands on it even if you have to threaten to sue them for assisting Niles in defamation ” I commanded and end the call.
Eventhough my stay with Niles was short lived, I gained enough knowledge to know that If we go to court, Niles would push me to a corner, he would tamper with the evidence and twist the truth.
He was likely going to sue me for assault while I was likely to push for Abuse and sexual harassment which wouldn’t be possible without a concrete evidence. I couldn’t trust the witnesses, Niles had the ability and the money, he would probably buy them over.
Later that night Deborah was able to secure the CCTV footage , so I slept with a mind prepared for war.
The next day I was on edge, I couldn’t relax. I waited for Niles to throw the first punch but I didn’t hear anything, not even the news of the incident last night was seen in the tabloids. The whole day passed without a single news
The next day came, still no news but I couldn’t relax. For all I know he could be playing with me, waiting for my defenses to be down so his blow could be fatal.
The third day, still no move but something unexpected happened, I received an anonymous present.
A bouquet of flowers with a card sent to me thanking me for kicking Niles’s ass.I couldn’t I.D the sender, there was only an initial written on it.
I didn’t put much thought into it since I summarized it as a die hard fan who probably saw my heroic deed and wanted to thank me.
But it definitely become spooky when the same bouquet of flowers arrived the next day, this time the initials were written in full.
Secret Admirer
I read out the words carefully,
“Sorry for coming late, Secret Admirer “
This was the only words written on the card which didn’t satisfy my curiosity at all. The worst part was nobody knows who drops it at my house, my housekeeper just finds it in front of my door every morning.
As I thought ,the fourth day came with another bouquet of flowers and a card.
“Smile… It irritates those who wishes to destroy you “
Secret Admirer
Immediately, I read those words I experienced some sort of felt Deja Vu. It happened that I had a huge confrontation with another actress yesterday and she ended up saying she hoped I would never find a reason to smile in my lifetime Ever again .Surely this wasn’t just a coincidence, was it?
With my curiosity at the peak, another bouquet of flowers came with a card the next day
“Don’t allow ourself to be controlled by this three things. – your past, people and money “
Secret Admirer
This continued for a month and I soon get used to the idea of receiving a bouquet of flowers and a card every morning, I didn’t think it freaky anymore .
Soon enough I got an opportunity to be able to send a reply and just like that I got pretty close to this stranger.
Contrary to my belief , Niles never bothered me ever since that incident in the club which was rather strange if I might say but I didn’t worry. If push comes to shove, I still had my evidence.
Soon enough my curiosity couldn’t be satisfied anymore,I noticed my secret admirer I would like to see him one on one. At first, he refused but after some weeks he couldn’t resist my persuading power and gave in.
The night before our meet-up, I couldn’t sleep. I turned and tossed all night in deep thinking, What was he like? Was he handsome? Rich? Responsible? My type? A player? *pfft*he didn’t seem like such a person .
All manner of thoughts raced through my mind until I dozed off sometime later.
The next day I hastily put everything in place. I dressed casually, putting on a pair of hot pink jeans with a white designer polo shirt with “I love me ” written stylishly on its front. My long ink black hair cascaded down my shoulders in waves while I rocked in matching pink flat shoe.
I reached the restaurant before him as I was directed to my seat, I wasn’t supposed to have problem locating him cause he agreed that his clothes would be a match with mine except his jeans would be blue instead of pink.
I didn’t stay for long before I felt someone beside me, I looked up only to scowl and frown with untoward countenance.
He still had that same arrogant and cold glint in his eyes but there was a softness to it this time. That stubborn jaw was clench tightly while his gaze skimmed over me, eyeing me all over.
My gaze fell on his clothes, he was wearing a Blue Jean with the same designer polo shirt I was wearing just as my secret Admirer said he would show up with.
No way.
I jolted away from my seat and stared at him hard in the eyes, asking
“What are you doing here? “
“I think you already the answer”
I swayed but his hands were so quick to save me. I jerked away from his grip and clutched my temple, murmuring negatively
“No you’re not him”
Then he swiftly dipped his hands into the pocket of his jeans and brought out bundles upon bundles of the card I replied him with.
The truth dawned on me at once , Niles was my secret admirer all along. How did I not notice, was I indeed blind all this time. Suddenly, something clicked in my head. Was this his revenge against me because of that club incident months ago?
“You! “I roared “All this times were you playing with my feelings all because of that club incident “I accused and saw his eyes widen at once.
So it was true? I realized.He didn’t say a word neither did he show plans of denying the accusation .His silence said it all.
I grabbed my purse and was about to leave when I heard three words that crushed my defence.
“I love you” I heard someone said and froze in my footsteps. I turned around with excruciating slowness to see the unbreakable Niles Sparks biting down on his lips and ruffling his hair nervously, avoiding my gaze as he said once again
” I love you “
My mouth hung open in disbelief, all traces of his icy aura were gone, now he looked like a clueless gentleman about to embark on his first life changing adventure.
“I know it might not seem real to you but I think I fell in love with you the first night I saw you, the first night I knocked you down with my car. Maybe the reason I couldn’t let you go was because I unconsciously realized you were a rare gem but my stubborn self wouldn’t want to admit it.
I’m sure you already know this but Kay really did a number on me so as a defence mechanism, I closed my heart , didn’t give anyone a chance because I was afraid of it suffering once again
When you left, I didn’t want to admit that I missed you so I went out with any girl just to prove to you and myself that I was okay without you but that didn’t make it better. It made me miss you badly that I thought I was going to lose my mind.
So that night I saw you at the club, I couldn’t take it any longer so I acted out of my urges but I realised afterward that it was impossible to win you over that way.So I decided to do it the long and old fashioned way, so here I am “
By the time Niles was through, all the walls I built around me all this years came crumbling down and the tears came falling down. I can’t remember how long I cried but by the time I was done, Niles’s shirt was soaked thoroughly.
I pushed him away yelling “This could be a lie! How do I know you’re not lieing to me! There’s no assurance you won’t break my heart! “
Niles calmly and gently ran his hand through my hair in a soothing manner while his other hand cupped my face, his thump wiping my tears away.
