Vivian

The words Damien said still hung in the air between us. He had never expected me to do what I did, and for a moment I thought he might be upset about it. Instead, warmth settled into his expression, and he told me he respected what I had done. My bravery had come through in that moment, he said, and something in his tone made my chest tighten.

He offered to donate to the charity himself. I hadn't expected that either. He asked if I had thought of a name for it yet, and I told him I plann

    AdrianThe boardroom was silent when I entered. The air was heavy and tense. A member of the board plainly told me that this was all my fault like it was a final verdict."Adrian, this is all your fault," Thomas said. He did not even look at me when he said it. "This mess is because of you."I could see the gloating and joy at my predicament displayed on the eyes of the board members. They were happy to see me in trouble."I understand you are upset," I said."Upset?" Thomas said. "We are more than upset. We lost two major suppliers in one morning.""I know," I said.I could not argue against it, I would have to be on the defensive today. I knew that if I shouted, I would lose completely."I never expected the man to be such a bad egg," I told them. "I trusted Mark and he betrayed our agreement. I will make things right. I will find new suppliers."One of the execs remarked sharply that I said that same thing the first time I messed up and got them into the Swiss bank's claws."You sa

    VivianThe news on the television in the car was loud and clear. Whatever Damien did was definitely way overboard.But I liked it.Watching the newsroom channels reveal that the IRS case against me had been fabricated, cooked up by a certain executive in Lancaster industries and an officer at the IRS district, I found it mind blowing.The anchor was reading the statement seriously."Today the IRS issued an apology to Miss Vivian Sinclair," the anchor said. "The case against her was found to be fabricated by an officer at the IRS district office who was working with an executive from Lancaster Industries."Truly, I was clean, and the IRS had apologized for their rashness, their quietness seemingly felt like an external hand was manipulating them too. I knew Damien had made that happen. I knew he had used pressure I did not have.That officer's name had been sitting in my own notes since the board meeting. Damien had only supplied the pressure I did not have. I had written down Cole's n

    AdrianFor the first time in a while, I felt like I had control of something and that made me feel sublime. I had slept well. I had a plan. The pictures of Vivian were online. Her board was under pressure. My company, Lancaster, had a chance to recover.However, I got a call from my secretary early in the morning causing a frown on my face. The day had just broken and the sun was barely up."Hello?" I said when I picked up."Mr. Kane, I am sorry to call you this early," my secretary said. Her voice was nervous."What is it?" I asked."Sir, two key suppliers just sent emails," she said. "They are considering stepping back from their deal with us.""Which suppliers?" I asked."The two from the north district," she said. "The nearly two hundred million dollar deal."I was shocked and then I was incensed when I learnt that two key suppliers had just considered stepping back from their nearly two hundred million dollar deal."Why?" I asked, barely restraining my anger. "Why would they step

    VivianThe door opened and Damien walked in that evening. When Damien arrived, I saw he was slightly rattled. His tie was loose and his hair was a little messy. He looked like he had been thinking too much.I did not ask him why he looked that way. I just hugged him with a kiss on his lips while hurrying him to the dining table where I had set everything."Welcome home," I said."Thank you," he said. He chuckled a little and looked at the table. "What is all this?""Food," I said. "I made dinner for us."He asked what was going on with a chuckle as he sat down."What is going on?" he asked. "You cooked all this food. Did something happen?""Can I not take care of my husband?" I asked. "Plus, I saw some recipes I had been dying to practice and who was the best test subject for my cooking?""Your husband, of course," he said."Exactly," I said.Both of us chuckled and I sighed in relief at the reduced tension between us. The house had felt heavy for weeks. Tonight it felt lighter.Dinne

    DamienThe study was warm because the fireplace was on. My father stood in front of the desk with his back to me. I stood behind him in silence. He was looking at some papers but I knew he was thinking about something else."You seem to have been less busy recently," my father said, remarking casually without turning around.I nodded even though he could not see me. "Business has been better than ever," I said. "Our targets have been met earlier than we expected this quarter. The teams did well.""Good," my father said. He nodded, then he sighed a little. "That is good to hear."There was a pause. Then he spoke again."About Vivian..." my father started.I cut him off, calling him father for the first time that evening. My voice was more serious."Father," I said. "She is going to be fine. You do not need to worry about her."My father finally turned around and stood up from his desk. He looked at me directly. His face was calm but his eyes were concerned."I did not want you to lose

    VivianThe cafe was quiet in the evening and the lights were low. I was surprised people still drank coffee in the evening and I asked the waitress who had come to hand me my drink why she thought so many people came at this hour."Why do people drink coffee at night?" I asked her. "I thought most people avoided it."The latter chuckled and claimed their cafe served the most delicious coffee in the city, of course people would always come."Our coffee is the best in the city," she said. "People come here even at midnight for it. You will love it."I rolled my eyes inside my mind, but I smiled politely as I watched the lady walk away toward the counter."She surely does not believe that line herself, right?" I thought to myself, but then I frowned, raising my head towards the voice that had already settled into the seat before me.My aunt was sitting there. She had arrived without me noticing. She wore a dark coat and a scarf."Vivian," my aunt said. "You came.""You called me, so I ca
