After saying my goodbye to Beverly, I fixed myself and paced around the living room before I could go ahead and meet the grumpy man. I had to say, Beverly was a kind-hearted woman. I hated the way Monica spoke to her but keeping that aside, I knocked on the door to the study room and moved back as I waited for the man inside to say a come in. I was a little nervous as I fiddled with my cold hands, digging my nails in my palm while biting my bottom lip anxiously. A while passed and I heard a come in, I slowly but surely pushed the door open and walked inside and closed it back as I made my way to the grumpy man half sitting on his wooden desk. I stood to the sides like an obedient child with my head lowered. If I were to stand with him. I swore I would look like his little daughter although my features weren't so timid, I was a lot bold and confident but with Victor he made me seem like a scared little girl who had to be obedient to him and that was not what I liked I stood there w
(Vivienne)I always had this assumption about rich people. They were classy, lived in big mansions, and ate good food. Wore expensive clothes and jewelry.They had nothing to worry about because they had all the things more money could buy for them.I always thought rich people were happy and never went through emotional things or problems because they had money hence lived a happy lifeThis was the main reason why I wanted to be successful, if I had money no one would look down on me. No one would reject me and call me a gold digger just because I was lacking something. To me having money was a source of happiness and no could make me think otherwise "Please make sure you eat a lot...sir ordered us to make some fruit salad for you as well, "J Julia said as soon as she came back to the dining room and two other female servers who barely said a word started fishing out the food. I sat there, I counted the chairs at the dining table and they were close to eight or ten. The gold-made ta
I was hurting inside and losing connection with consciousness, I could only hear distant voices and felt a pair of hands lift me off the floor taking me to a place I didn't know "How is she?" It was Victor who asked the two doctors he specifically invited to his house and were at his disposal no matter what time it may be. This was important to him and when he was called that his surrogate was having a fit. He dropped whatever he was doing and rushed to her "Sir...she's calm now...I gave her an injection to stop the pain"one of the doctors answered as he continued checking Vivienne. The entire house was shaken by the incident. No one knew what had happened to Vivienne and victor was the agitated one. "You told me there was nothing to worry about...what the heck is this... it's been two weeks and she was fitting!"Victor made a low yell as he said the words bitterly. He warned all the highly trained and capable doctors he could find around the country. He even went as far as getting
(Vivienne)The following morning came like the wind, The day dawned crisp and clear. The sun poured through my window. Vivienne shifted around on the bed feeling someone's weight on her body."Stop it" she mumbled as she slapped a hand or finger which was poking her face or feeling her skin. She wanted to open her eyes but she wanted to continue her sleep"Is she real...look at her skin...her hair looks dolly like"I heard someone say in my sleep and my brows crossed as I stopped moving. Was it a dream but it sounded real, more like there was a person in my room sitting on my bed looking at me with intense eyes, and when I thought about that and gathered all the possibilities? My eyes instantly flew open only to "Ahhh!"I screamed loudly and immediately kicked the person who was on me, staring at me with sharp force. Eyes. "Damn it girl" I heard a groan coming from the floor and with heavy breathing, I quickly wrapped the sheets around my body and went on my knees to see who it was th
The sun was bright. The light of dawn seeped into my room. I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky. I smiled as I stretched my hand out as if to catch the rays of the sun The first rays of sunlight lit up my room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky which made it look mesmerizing. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. I loved mornings the most and looking at the blue sky with white clouds. I giggled but soon stopped when I sneezed some movements in the garden. Yes, my room had a garden view and I had to say it was glorious, absolutely magnificent that I dashed away from the window and left my room. "Morning Ms…"I was greeted by someone immediately I stepped out of my room but I didn't stay for long however I just nodded with a smile and proceeded to the stairsThe house was nice and clean and as always empty. I guessed Victor was already gone which was a good thing
(Vivienne)"Bro...you should have seen me out there...no one was as fast as me... I won a gold medal many times in a role... I think I'm the best in this country"Okay for starters the boy kyan was talkative. He never shut up, he kept on praising himself to the point where I just wanted to yell for him to keep his mouth shut, but I couldn't say anything when we were in a moving car, I was sitting in the back seat with the main boss, Victor himself while kyan was in front with the driver who was irritated too, but he just kept his eyes on the road and drove the car peacefully.Since we left the Ellison mansion, Kyan had been bragging about himself.I guessed he was busy saying things on purpose or to attract my attention and see how great he was, but I couldn't care less. From what I heard, he was an international swimmer.And of course, I saw him familiar back in the room but like most of the time, I didn't pay attention to little details but now hearing him brag about how many medals
I went from crazy outfits, and hence I fixed my dress and tilted my head to look at the moron talking to me. He was wearing blue ripped jeans with a black muscle shirt with a black jacket on top.His shoes were the killer and his swag was on point, especially with the black cap and sunglasses as if to hide himself"Look here pretty boy... I'll break your face with just one punch" I threatened him with a folded fist, and he chuckled and grabbed my hand and pulled me forward"You shouldn't act like a savage...you are carrying my brother's child and nephew...we don't want him to have your savage genes...now come victor is on the phone," he said as he took me by the hand and dragged me towards the entrance door. The hospital wasn't as busy as most public hospitals I went to. It turned out this was a private hospital where prestigious rich people came to.I had seen the excellent service. The equipment was top-notch and the nurses, as well as the doctors, were professionals. We went throug
(Vivienne) The doctor was scaring me, his hesitant behavior had me feeling fuzzy inside as I fiddled with my hands which had turned cold.I could see the same reaction with victor although he was good at masking his expressions with his furrowed brows and I knew he was agitated as well.I didn't want to make a mistake. If I did then Victor would get angry. I glanced back at kyan but he was in his world hence my attention turned to doctor maverick who now had a warm smile.At least his smile made me feel at ease as I exhaled and inhaled silently as if keeping my breathing stable. Doctors could cause someone a heart attack with their unnecessary suspense"I thought something was amiss but I guess it had some effects due to the fruits she must have taken…" he started explaining as victor went through the file. I sat there agitated as I waited for him to finish what he had to say. What caused my stomach to ache like that, at least hearing fruits brought some peace to my soul "Victor I
