9. Dinner with the Knights
To say that everything went smoothly after the unfortunate incident of cherry popping would be an understatement. Things went from unease to extremely awkward, as both Victory and Arthur never had a smooth relationship to begin with.
Victory is proverbial little Miss Sunshine while Arthur is the fire-breathing Mr. Grouch. And now the world's weirdest pairing have a salacious little secret between them and it was causing a wide rift in their professional relationship.
Still, both Victory and Arthur tried their very best to pretend as if nothing happened.
They only discussed the event once, and that was when Arthur told her that he had seen the video footage from the hotel which confirmed that Kate was seen to have added something in the champagne and both of them appeared tipsy when they walked from the elevator to the Executive suite.
He purposely omitted the fact they were making out like hormonal teenagers in the elevator.
Both agreed that i

A Knight for Victory 11. Discovery
The meeting went smoothly, Arthur thought as a satisfied smile appeared faintly on his lips. Despite the fact that he had to endure Kate barging into the office every week, the advertisements that they have designed for Mortimer Ltd. turned out extremely well. Very soon shooting will commence for both print and tv ads and it would not be long before they wrap up this job for the client. A. K. Media's next engagement for Mortimer Ltd. will be for their annual dinner event in about four and a half months' time, which Arthur isn't too worried about.

A Knight for Victory 12. To Keep or Not to Keep
Victory and Arthur left the doctor's office in a daze, both lost in their own world. The discovery of Victory pregnant was alarming, shocking them to the core. Their eyes were stricken,bodies tense and both faces wore identical grim expressions. They walked listlesslyto the dispensary and waited for a few minutes forsome tabletswhich would help Victory with her morning sickness. The doctor also prescribed iron and folic acid supplements that she should take if she plans on carrying the pregnancy to term. The tablets felt heavy in her slender hands, a grave reminder of the culmination of their actions at the Plaza Hotel. Actions which both had absolutely no control over. A tragic event that resulted in dire consequences, colluding both their worlds together. It was like God had played a cruel joke on them and now it is time to pay the price. By the time they left the hospital, it was already late in the after
A Knight for Victory 13. The Clock is Ticking
Of course things went horribly downhill from then on. Victory tried to make light of the situation and continued with her usual banter, but with her running to the toilet and heaving out her stomach contents every couple of hours, it was difficult for Arthur to ignore the fragile state that she was in. From an outsider's perspective, both of Victory and Arthur had bizarre guilty looks plastered on their faces every time they faced each other. Both of them wore similar expressions of being caught red-handed with their hands in the cookie jar. If only people knew. For indeed, Arthur did dip his dirty fingers into Victory's cookie jar. Aaron, being the sass that he is, was first to comment on the change in their relationship. Since the revelation of her pregnancy, Victory had tried to avoid Aaron for as long as she could. However, working in the same building definitely had its disadvantages. Just a week after their visit to the h
A Knight for Victory 14. Hilda’s Word of Wisdom
Arriving in Brooklyn, Victory parked her cheerful yellow Mini Cooper Countryman in front of an old, faded, nondescript building. She quickly bounded up the stairs and knocked her fist on a massive brown door. There was a sign above the door that read, "Brooklyn Institution for the Care of Children". Victory was standing in front of an orphanage, one that she used to volunteer with since she was 16 years old. The orphanage started as a community project assignment for school. At the time, she had just transferred to a new school and was paired with Aaron for the assignment. The orphanage had held good memories for her. A time when she had felt like the efforts that she puts in would make a difference in the world by aiding poor orphans and having the ability to impact their lives in a positive manner. The school assignment for the orphanage was also the start of her beautiful friendship with Aaron and she would forever be grateful for that experienc
A Knight for Victory 15. Another Visit to the Doctor’s
Two weeks later, Victory found herself once again seated at the doctor's office, with Arthur standing firmly behind her chair. This time, Arthur had both his hands resting on her shoulders, unconsciously lending Victory his strength andreminding her that he's there to support her and whatever decision that she makes. For the appointment, she decided to wear a blue and white striped jacket from Ralph Lauren, a printed white Chanel blouse and a navy maxi skirt which ended demurely just above her knees. Unfortunately, due to her growing waistline, she is no longer able to fit into her tight pencil skirts.Although her pregnancy is barely noticeable, her tummy had actually expanded by at least an inch. Her feet were adorned with a red pair of mary janes, similar to what Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz wore. She also wore white knee length stockings, making her appear like a schoolgirl and looking younger than her 24 years. She completed her look with a pair of p
A Knight for Victory 16. Arthur Unveils His Plan
"Let's have lunch first," Arthur replied, looking at her expectantly. "You've told me before that you get angry when you're hungry. I wouldn't want you to bite my head off," he teased her as his smile grew wider. To Victory's surprise, there was a warm smile spreading on his face, making him look younger than his 28 years and dangerously attractive. She had noticed before that his dimples would appear cheekily whenever his lips curved into a wide smile. Today, his dimples made one of their rare appearances and boldly winked at her. His posture was more relaxed and warm. Even his eyes appeared a bright blue color and there was an indescribable look of contentment shining from them. Somehow, from where she was seated, Arthur looked happy and contented. Mr. Grouch Arthur Knight, look happy? Well this is definitely a first, Victory told herself. Unable to stop herself, Victory felt the familiar tug of a smile spreading its way across
A Knight for Victory 17. Renovation
Arthur held the door open as the interior decorator waltz into his apartment, carrying her cherry red handbag in one hand and a medium-sized tablet in her other hand. As they both entered the living room, he introduced her to Victory, explaining that he plans to renovate the guest room to fit Victory's taste. The interior decorator is a gorgeous red-head, blessed with an equally voluptuous figure. Victory saw that she oozed sex appeal without even needing to try. A half-moon pair of glasses rested on the bridge of her nose, giving her the air of a sexy schoolteacher, one that would cause boys to purposely get into trouble, just so that they would see her again in detention. Despite her appearance, her face carried a cool and professional demeanour. Victory couldn't help but notice that a large diamond engagement ring adorned her finger, glittering in the light as she waved her hand. Aww, she's engaged to be married, Victory tells herself with
