"Mr. Ellison, we are very grateful for sparing your precious time to see us?"Victor sat in the principal's office and listened to the so-called board of the school. This was the school his little brother went to, not as he cared but they had his trust in terms of giving out funds or scholarships but now he was hell bored listening to them praise him nonstop. He was aware of how fake their praises were but he chose to entertain them by nodding at their words. Beverly stood to the sides as she listened to everything that was said, she knew her boss was not in the mood especially when he had a lot of things to do back at the office. If not for the fact that he was a well-known businessman who everyone adorned then he would have declined to come to the school"And to conclude our discussion...we would like to give you a tour of the entire school so that you can tell us...if it's acceptable" the principal said with a smile and rose to his feet. So did Victor and they carefully guided him
(Vivienne)The drive back to the Ellison mansion was a quiet one. I tried to make up a few excuses in my head to tell Victor once we reached but every story I could come up with sounded ridiculous.I felt rage and anxiety trying to look for ways to save my skin. Judging by the way he was driving, I just wanted to die or sleep and never wake up. Victor was a grumpy man,he was good at hiding his emotions even when he was angry it was impossible to know what he felt and because of that I didn't know if he was angry or not"Victor, you can't blame Kyan for this silly girl's troubles."Monica said with disdain as I sat on the couch with my legs crossed and I lowered my head to the delicious bowl of warm soup I was having.The living room felt heavy with Victor sitting in his chair like a boss while Kyan was kneeling before him but at a distance looking like a soaked cat.He looked ridiculous that I just wanted to look at him for the rest of his life..Monica was acting as Kyan's lawyer and
After a long day full of trouble Victor retired to his office to get some work. Already his day was ruined not by him but by the careless people around him. He knew any better than to trust Kyan once more because his little brother was way too careless. This was just a small test for him to prove he was fit to join his school like before but Kyan was still irresponsible hence he had to make sure he was homeschooled "Bro... you can't do this to me!" The office door flew open and without knocking Kyan barged in still not happy about his brother's decision. Victor didn't even look up but focused on his work. His decision was final and there was nothing anyone could do to change it. Kyan, now wearing white knee-length shorts with a black t-shirt, was not happy as he paced around in the room, he already called for backup and he was certain when his backup arrived all his troubles would cease to exist. His brother was way too cruel to confine him to having lessons taken at home.Since he w
"I don't expect anyone going against my rules...if any mistake is made then I'll have your heads on a platter"Victor made a low growl which sounded a little throaty as if to convey some frustration, his anger had flared up, his face contorted with rage. His lips were curled and his jaw was clenched. Justin slowly rose to his feet backing away from the raging beast before him and knew Victor had a lot of anger within him. The sadness which he had generated into anger. For the first time after Alisa's death, Justin saw how miserable Victor was. He had changed so much from a happy jovial man to a full beast who didn't care about anything other than his child. It was the only thing to keep him alive hence Justin understood as he nodded silently and watched as Victor stormed out of the office and he followed behindJustin watched as Victor headed upstairs and since he was staying for the night he decided to talk business with his older cousin. Being the oldest in the family wasn't easy fo
(Vivienne)I shifted my body a little and slept on my side. I've never enjoyed sleeping in my life like I was. From the soft bed to the sweetly scented linens to the pleasant atmosphere. The gentle cool breeze caressed my legs and I slowly curled in a ball.I smiled in my sleep as I snuggled to the soft pillows which smelled familiar. I knew of only one person who managed to attract my attention just by his natural scent and that was Victor.If he knew how he smelled then I was sure he would feel proud because I was a fan of how he smelled although it sounded so silly"Hmm" I groaned in my sleep and tossed to the sides until I found a comfortable position. I didn't feel tired or in pain anywhere hence I slowly turned to lie on my back and lifted my hands to my eyes and rubbed gently while yawning a little.I could hear birds singing and chirping which indicated morning. It was morning already and I smiled as I flickered my lazy eyes which felt heavy.It was another beautiful day. I sm
I knew he was mocking me hence I scoffed and walked away leaving Kyan still laughing without any reason. His voice faded away once I got to my room and with rage. I pushed the door open hoping to get some peace however I stopped immediately I entered only to find someone throwing my clothes around"Huh?"I voiced out and walked to the closet to see who was throwing my clothes around and to my surprise, it was Monica looking fresh and beautiful so early in the morning. The lady saw me and stopped what she was doing and her expression was disdainful"Finally you decided to show up...I wonder why Vic let you off after invading his bedroom" she said sarcastically as she tossed a pair of jeans away but I caught it just in time and turned to face her. My eyes narrowed suspiciously wondering why she was busy throwing my things away "Monica, what's going on?"I asked more seriously and scanned my room all my clothes were scattered all over the floor. My sneakers too were all over "Well, how
(Vivienne)I took long angry strides towards where the man was. I hated anyone ordering me around and Victor was taking advantage of my fear of him to such a length. I wasn't going to take his orders anymore. Yes, I was his surrogate but I had the rights over myself and what I chose to wear however now he was getting rid of my closet for his selfish gain.If he didn't like how I dressed then that was on him not me and upon taking a left turn and entered the quiet passage which was a little dim with beautiful lighting.I put on an aggressive facial expression that screamed murder. I did not get angry very easily but I failed to understand why rage was boiling inside of me"I'll show him what happens if anyone messes with me...that grumpy man" I mumbled to myself as I took huge strides that made a sound each time my feet landed on the floor.My breathing had increased when I reached the door to the so-called gym. I stopped for a while to make sure what I was wearing was okay and tied
(Vivienne)"Vivie how about this dress...it's cute""Sure""No no...this is better that one looks like she just got out of a fish market""Sure add it"This was what I had been doing for the past two hours, sitting comfortably in a chair going through a fashion magazine and said sure to Beverly as well as Monica who kept on showing me all kinds of clothesI didn't want anything, I was fully content with what I had hence their effort was all in vain. We had Monica who thought Beverly's choice of clothes was so vintage and more like a grandma and Beverly scoffed at Monica's choice saying I wasn't planning to run for a clown show. Of course, I had no say in their argument because I didn't agree with both women.For starters, I had my own choice of clothes, and secondly, I was not going to give Victor the satisfaction of controlling me when it had only been a few weeks of living with himI was aware he owned the world if that was even possible but I didn't want to look like I was trying h
