One year with a grumpy billionaire

VIVIANI glanced at my car,parked in the driveway,and for a moment,the temptation to flee in the familiar comfort of its embrace was almost overwhelming but my pride repelled against the idea,I wouldn't use anything my father had given me. Not now,not after what he said.I knew my father said that statement thinking I'd change my mind but no,I'm never going backWith a heavy heart, I hailed a cab and gave the driver my best friend Vera's address. I had nowhere else to go, no one else to turn to. Vera had always been my rock, my confidante. She would understand. She would take me in and help me pick up the pieces of my shattered life.As the cab stopped in front of Vera's apartment building, I paid the driver and got out. I trudged up the stairs, feeling like I was walking to my own execution. My legs felt heavy, my feet dragging on the ground as I approached her door and knocked,there was no answerI frowned, confusion gnawing at the edges of my mind.She couldn't have gone anywhere,t

VIVIANIf someone had told me just days ago that I'd be disowned by my father, the man who was supposed to love and support me unconditionally, I would have brutally disagreed. And if they had also told me that the two people I trusted most in this world, my best friend and my confidant, would betray me in the worst possible way, I would have thought they were crazy. But life has a way of proving us wrong, and now here I am, standing in front of a stranger who has just asked me to marry him."Wait..what?"I blinked continuously trying to process his words."I want you to marry me Vivian"He repeated,his eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made me quiver"Now you're definitely crazy"I burst into another round of laughter""I want you to marry me for a year and in return, I'll find your art career. I'll give you everything you need to succeed -studio space,materials, connection, everythingHe said,his voice calm and collected.Someone remind me to not get drunk again. How mu

AIDENAiden came just in time during Kian and Vivian’s love confession.“Hi beautiful, how are you doing, “he said as stretching his hands for a handshake towards Vivian.Vivian seemed surprised because Kian never informed her about anybody named Aiden in the family. She looked at Aiden and greeted him.Aiden faced Kian “ Did you not tell your girlfriend you had a uncle ?” he asked facing Kian.Grandfather Edward dropped his newspaper and folded it back on the table taking his cup of coffee into his mouth.“ Aiden! Why are you here?” He asked.Aiden chuckled “ My being here is a disturbance to the latest couples ?” he asked.Vivian smiled looking at Kian in confusion then she whispered into his ears “ Why didn’t you tell me you had an uncle?”.Kian looked at Vivian and could not say a word, Kian and Aiden has been a competitor for years.“ Hi uncle, well this is Vivian, my girlfriend” he said as he touched Vivian’s hands so she wouldn’t be scared.Aiden sits properly and smiled “ Fina

AIDEN AND VIVIAN It was a sad morning when everyone was at the dining table without grandfather Edward, all the important shareholders of the company were invited. Kian’s expression was much better than that of yesterday’s. Aiden looked at Kian and smiled, he looked like he wanted to cause a scene “You two arent married yet ?” Aiden asked Vivian looked up wondering who he was talking to“ I am referring to you and Kian" Aiden said as he puts on a fake smileVivian looked at everyone’s face at the dining she then chuckled, turns out this family is a war place , no one loves eachother. I heard footsteps behind me, a very nice scent I couldnt get over came across my nose, I looked behind me as the steps sounded high,” it’s her again” I said to myself as I sighed. I picked up a cup and poured myself some water to drink so I can calm my nerves, why did I have to marry into a war home, luck has never been on my side aanyways.I looked up at Mira's face as she smiled at me “ Hi" Mira

VIVIAN Grandfathers condition hasn’t been improving yet he is been kept in the coma for days .So this is what being rich is, even the rich have their own problems, I guess it’s not always that sweet anyway, what am I saying it’s not like my father is poor. Phone rings“Hello, I wonder why you called"“Can you at least greet me first?” my father replied as he already missed me, he wished for my return quickly.I wanted to stay away from home so I could chase my dreams, but to be a woman isn’t actually easy.I heard knocks on the door, who could that be Kian isnt home yet, I heard a loud voice of Mira, i walked to the door so i could open the door for her, I guess I will have to put up with her today again“Good morning” a cheerful greeting from Mira, as she jumped on the bed“Morning Mira" I replied silently while trying to lock the door“Why is she here again" i whispered to myself silently“How are you doing Vivian? Mira asked“I am good thank you” I replied and I smirked immediat
