Chapter 2 Terrible Condition

Nicholas got home feeling very antsy and apprehensive. He had never been a hit-and-run driver. His conscience kept pricking him, and he began to wonder what became of the lady he had ran over. He took a bottle of alcohol and with shaky hands, he gulped it down his throat. He really needed to get Laid. Maybe that would help.

He dialed Laura's number, and she picked up on the first ring.

"Hey handsome"

She sounded excited.

"You wanna do something fun?"

Nicholas asked, even though he knew what her answer would be.

"Well, of course. "

She replied almost immediately, like she had been waiting for his call.

Nicholas had met Laura at a club, during Stanley's birthday party. She had tried all her best for him to notice her that night, and when he finally looked her way, they ended up in the hotel. She was a wild one.

He had always been very protective and intentional about his personal space. So, rather than bring Laura over to his house, he would instead, take her to a hotel. He was careful like that. It was a fling, and they were just mostly having fun, so he didn't find her deserving or worthy of being at his house. He took a shower, dressed up, and headed out to the hotel, in one of his cars.

Laura arrived a few minutes later, wearing a red, body-con, off-the-shoulder dress, complimenting it with a red lipstick. Immediately she entered the room, she grabbed his neck, and pulled him in for a fierce kiss.

"Well, hello to you too."

Nicholas said sarcastically, in between kisses.

"Why waste any time?"

She reached for his d*ck, and started to massage it through his pants. He quickly grabbed her hand, and took charge.

"Take off your dress."

He ordered, and she immediately complied. When he saw that she had nothing underneath, he quickly grabbed her breasts, and started kneading them. He pushed her to the edge of the bed and she landed softly on the bed. He opened her legs wide, and began to finger her, till she became dripping wet. Her screams filled the room. He quickly wore a condom, and without much delay, he plunged into her.

*******

Nicholas was still unable to get the thought of the accident out of his mind, even after a wild night with Laura. For the first time, this was a problem that sex or money couldn't solve.

Thinking about it now, If a word of the accident got out, it would tarnish his image, Stain his personality, and ruin his reputation as the CEO of LEAMS Global. He didn't want any of that. Especially not now, when his father was breathing down his neck about marriage. Just then, his phone immediately started ringing. Speak of the devil!

"Hey dad!"

Nicholas greeted.

"How're you doing, son?"

His father asked.

"So-so."

Nicholas sluggishly responded.

"I need to talk to you, Nicholas. It's important. You either come down here, or i come meet you. Your choice."

His father said, with an undertone of threat.

"Dad, are we seriously doing this again? Please don't tell me it's about this marriage thing?"

He asked, even though he already knew the answer.

"I'll be expecting you tomorrow, son. Bye."

His father ended the call. Unbelieveable! Nicholas was frustrated. He was only twenty-eight, but his father was already breathing down his neck, about marriage. He had never felt the need to be loyal or stick to one woman.

He hated commitments, because it felt like restriction to him. He felt it was only for the weak and stupid, who wanted to be tied down to one woman. Whenever he felt horny, he'ld choose whoever he wanted to let off steam with. The most important thing was that, he took the neccessary precautions, and stayed clean.

His mind suddenly deviated from the phone call with his dad, and his thoughts were suddenly filled with that of his victim. What if she didn't survive it? What if no one was able to help her that morning? Would he be able to live with that on his conscience? Those were the constant thoughts he'ld been having for the past few days. He admit he was a jerk, and a lot of other things, but definitely not a murderer.

Could this really be what guilt felt like? Nicholas decided to have one of his bodyguards, trace down the lady, to know if she survived. He would find a way to help her, even if it meant doing it subtlely. Nicholas arrived at the company, and met Stanley waiting in his office.

Nicholas and Stanley had been friends since they were teenagers. They were both handsome men- even though Nicholas got the most attention. Nicholas was a devlishly handsome man, so he was used to having girls drool over him on a daily basis.

Apart from being an extremely handsome man, Nicholas was also a fully committed CEO, and this helped prepare him for the role, years before he became a billionaire. He knew the job well. He wanted trusted and competent excecutives to implement his dream, and communicate his vision to the relevant department. Which was exactly why he made Stanley his best friend, the Chief Operating Officer of his company.

Stanley was responsible for the day to day operations of the organisation, and execution of plans created and validated by Nicholas. They were very close. He told Stanley about his plans to find the woman he had ran over. Stanley who was surprised about his sudden change of heart, gave him his full support.

After a long conversation, and going through some documents that needed signing, Nicholas decided it was time to go see his father. He got into his Bentley, and drove off. He didn't want Mark to drive him. He wanted to be alone to clear his head. He drove for an hour and half, to get to the Thompson residence.

It was a very large and residential property, with classy designs and high quality materials. The Thompsons were all about expense and class. The mansion was ideal for families who liked the tranquility and silence. And Off course, for the filthy rich ones too. He got into the huge, beautiful mansion, and was welcomed with total silence.
