"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
Such as life, I held my purse close and left the boutique which was the last one from the main block. I noticed the entire second floor catered almost all shops with clothes shoes and even jewelry shops. I made my way to the elevator and I wanted to find the lady's room.Most rooms on the second floor were all changing rooms and I was a little pressed hence I was on the move"Excuse me...where can I find the lady's restroom?"I stopped a certain lady carrying bags and she turned to me next smiled"On the first floor...those are available...the ones on this floor are getting fixed today...kindly take the elevator down"the lady was kind enough to answer me politely. I nodded at her and said thank you feeling happy that for the first time I didn't get an eye roll or a rude reply"I guess they are still good people on planet Earth" I muttered with a scoff and soon reached the elevator. By the time I got back, I was certain Monica would have bought the entire shop. I couldn't survive shoppi
"Sir...you don't know how big this is for us...with you here…we know it's a new era"Brice, the wonder of the newly built mall said to Victor seated in his chair gracefully like a boss he was. Brice was a little agitated and anxious being graced with Victor's presence that he didn't want anything to go wrong. He wanted his business to be a success and having Ellison bank at his mall was good for business. Everyone knew Victor Ellison was a great business. He didn't shy away from engaging himself in multiple things. He owned their family hospital. The largest private hospital in the city. He owned a bank that had been in the family for years. If anyone doubted Victor then they haven't seen his growing factory. Everything he touched turned into a hold and Brice was happy to have him however Victor didn't care what others thought as he let his managing director speak for him as well as the bank's newly appointed vice president. He was just there to seal the deal by signing while the rest
(Vivienne)My body was covered in sweat as I did everything possible to keep the lady from passing out. I knew nothing about pregnant women before I was having a fit. I knew her blood pressure was high just by her. She had a nosebleed which scared me even more. I was agitated, scared, and thinking why the lady had to walk in such a state.She was already saying her water broke and it was time but even so, I was so clueless for the first time in my life I was caught up with such a situation"P...please ma'am...hang on...the...the elevator is getting fixed"I muttered and continued to rub her hands and feet. I did everything necessary to preserve her life, at least to stall for some time but what could I do when the woman was so pregnant and could give birth which I read about but had no idea what doctors did.For a second I wanted to take my phone and call Beverly but then again I dropped the idea. If the elevator was opened then everything would be okay"Please help us!!"I yelled so mu
