VIVIAN

My hand trembled, holding a glass of wine as I pranced across the bedroom. My face was pale, my eyes dull as subconsciously my eyes bounced across the room. My heart was racing, my blood pressure was to the roof everytime I thought about my identity being exposed. I took another sip, but it wasn't doing anything at this point. I walked over to my desk drawer, my phone still panned down as it vibrated. The sound, torture to my ears. I settled the glass down next to the bottle of wine as

  • SLEEPING WITH MY HUSBAND'S RIVAL    20: A choice

    DAMIANI dragged her out of the boardroom, her steps unsteady as she struggled against me. The moment we were out, I hauled her all the way to my office, shoving her inside before slamming the door shut.She immediately slapped my hand away from her hand, taking a step back with disbelief written all over her face."So, what exactly are you bullshitting about this time?" I muttered, pissed off.She looked taken aback by the way I spoke to her."You leaked my identity as S.I. to the tabloids," she said."Excuse me?" My brows furrowed."Oh, please. Cut me that crap. You knew the day you gave me that bullshit-ass name..." She paused, her eyes narrowing as she stared at me. "I just want to know. What's your game? Oh, let me guess. Is it complicated as well? Or maybe some kind of sick punishment for every single taunt I sent about Sienna?""Do you think I'd be that jobless sweetheart?" I scoffed, watching her eyes flicker."I wouldn't put it past you. You had all the time in the world when

    VIVIAN My hand trembled, holding a glass of wine as I pranced across the bedroom. My face was pale, my eyes dull as subconsciously my eyes bounced across the room. My heart was racing, my blood pressure was to the roof everytime I thought about my identity being exposed. I took another sip, but it wasn't doing anything at this point. I walked over to my desk drawer, my phone still panned down as it vibrated. The sound, torture to my ears. I settled the glass down next to the bottle of wine as I picked up my phone, my hands trembling in cold sweats.A knock sounded at the door, drawing my attention to the bedroom entrance."Mrs. Calloway, you have visitors..." Anya, my housekeeper, informed me.A wave of nausea washed over me, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. Could it be my parents? Them dropping by after the bombshell of a news was quite fitting, but then again, they were out of the country. They couldn't possibly have gotten here that quickly.I put my phone down and walked towar

    VIVIANMy lips dragged out a scoff. Just my luck. Of all the people I had to bump into, Damian has to be one of them. The cool breeze of the night coloured my cheeks a slight crimson. Without intending to, my eyes trailed over to Damian's. We held each other's gaze longer than I'd wish for. His eyes were darker than usual, tired and sunken. His facial hairs had grown out a bit and I hate that it made him look more attractive. I hate myself even more for acknowledging that.God, I hate how my heart raced when his lips curved up into a tight smirk as his hand slid into his pockets. And I despised how my eyes sized him up a moment longer than necessary.I walked down the steps, looking straight ahead till I was shoulder length next to him, his cologne attacking my nostrils, pulling me close, taunting me to stop. I walked past with the last fibre of my being, my legs weak and my heart pounding in my ears."Vivian..." He called and I felt my heart stop at the mention of my name. I froze, m

    VIVIAN I slammed the door shut, turning to look at the massive building before me. My legs twitch in my heels but I stable my self, smoothing out my black dress, clutching my black purse as my eyes blurred a bit. I couldn't tell if it was because I'd been crying all night or because I was tipsy. But I staggered forward to the mansion.Kimberley was having a party tonight and not too long ago, Sienna posted a clip of her and her friends downing a couple of drinks.I wasn't invited. But I showed up anyway.I was exhausted. I was tired of being dragged by strangers. I was tired of all of my friends ignoring me. I was tired of being ripped to shreds and tagged as nothing but all slut. This was all of Sienna's and Adrian's doing.Adrian hasn't come back home since the interview, I haven't been able to reach him, so tipsy and fueled with rage, I stormed to the next person I could get my hands on.The moment I walked in, all eyes panned to me in disgust. Their indistinct chatter growing lou

    SIENNA The floor tilted beneath my feet at Damian's comment. My eyes shimmered, my head spinning back and forth at his words. I dragged out a bitter laugh, my heart pounding in my ears, hoping I'd heard wrong."D.. Divorce.." I stutter, the hard word was like a pill to swallow. I shake my head."You can't be serious..." I chuckled another laugh. But the frown, the pain in his eyes said otherwise. I walked up to him, unable to accept his request. My hand tugged to the ends of his suit jacket."We can't get divorce.." I stutter again, trying to find words that could convince him otherwise. "Damian I love you." The words spill out my lips, ironically as Damian grabbed on to my hand, pulling it away from him. His hand held mine till he finally let go of me."I'll have Logan send you the papers." He said walking away from me and away from his desk and to the door of his office. He opened it, gesturing for me to leave but my feet stayed glued to the floor, still unable to believe that we'v

    SIENNA I slammed my hand on the receptionist desk, her unconcerned eyes reached mine. "Can I help you?" She said. I scoffed at her, clicking my tongue. Not even an hour ago she wouldn't dare extend that tone towards me. I ignored it, paying attention to what's most important. "Yes, I need to see my husband.." I said, feelings the burning stares of everyone across the room. Normally I wouldn't need to, I'd just give her a nod and she'll immediately alert Damian. But today when I did, she had security drag me out of the elevator and asked me to state my business. "I'm sorry Miss Sienna, I can't allow you to do that. He's busy." She said. "It's important." I urged as she clicked her tongue at me. "I'm sure it is." She flashed her prissy smile at me, going back to looking at her monitor and as well as attending to other people other than me. "Listen here." I flared. "You may feel high and mighty now. It must be good ain't it. Let me see Damian or else..." I muttered. "Ma'am plea
