"You... What did you just say?"Vivian got up from her seat and strolled towards the large window, her legs still felt uncomfortable but she just couldn't bear to see the pained and angry look on his face."Exactly what you just heard, I'm with someone else now. I fell out of love with you, but I met someone else, he's the one I'm in love with and he's the one I want to be with." She uttered.There was silence, one that sent a cold shiver down her spine, she was anticipating him to yell, to blow things, to get uncontrollably angry but instead what came was silence, Vivian didn't dare to turn around and see his face right now, but when she heard nothing, she finally turned to look.He was standing now, with tears trickling down his handsome face, the anger had completely melted, and all she could see was pain, pain that stung her heart, "I left for my own happiness Brian, so that means now you have your freedom, you can go find the person meant for you, just like I found mine." He sti
"She had been cheating on him with someone else, instead of telling him about it and calling off the wedding, she ran off with someone else leaving him at the altar." A nurse whispered quietly to another."Really? So that's what happened, she's really despicable." "I know, and he's so handsome, she doesn't deserve someone like him anyway, do you know, he didn't even get angry about it after finding out, I saw his face when he came out, he looked so hurt.""Aww, poor thing, I never liked that doctor Hayes anyway, turns out she's a two timing bitch, women like her don't deserve to find happiness...""Shh, here she comes." The nurse shushed her friend when she sighted Vivian coming and they both fell silent.Vivian had heard every word, but her heart was too heavy for her to even bother about them. She listlessly walked past them as if she hadn't seen them.She didn't deserve happiness? Yes she didn't, if she could hurt someone as gentle and kind as Brian, then she didn't deserve to be
Vivian had a single routine each day, she would wake up every morning, have breakfast with Sebastian some times, other times he was no where to be seen, then she would go to work, at the end of the day she would return... To her prison at Sebastian's mansion. No one was really treating her terribly, and thankfully Sebastian rarely lost his temper with her these days, but a place she was forced to live, she probably would never consider home.It had been weeks since she saw Brian, he hadn't come to find her after she completely broke it off with him, she could only imagine, how much pain she put him through. And no matter how angry she was or how resentful she was feeling, she would have to live through it in good health, otherwise she would put his life in danger.Today after finishing off from work, Sebastian's men came to pick her up as usual, of course this daily occurrence had drawn gossip in the hospital, they said she was seeing an old pot bellied sugar daddy and had left Brian
His dark as night eyes were filled with heated fury, but it disappeared a second later and his eyes regained a sort of calmness as if the rage hadn't existed.He calmly glanced at Brian then back at her, "Come here." He called in his deep voice.Vivian had terror in her eyes, this man in front of her, was a nightmare that barged into her lovely dream and sucked away her happiness, the minute she set her eyes on him, every little hope she had begun to build came crashing down. It was all a dream, it was all wishful thinking, how the hell could she escape from the clutches of this man? It was impossible. Completely impossible.But for a moment, she had seen hope, like a ray of light shining through a hole in an endless dark abyss, but the minute he came, he had blocked that light.A tear drop streamed down her face, but because she was now standing with her back towards Brian, he couldn't see her expression. Her eyes held a silent plea as she looked at Sebastian, for some reason, someth
Vivian hurried down the steps, she was about to be a little bit late for work, she'd somewhat overslept for some reason.As she descended the last step she halted when she caught sight of Sebastian from the corner of her eyes, he was standing by the mini aquarium feeding the fishes.Her eyes inexplicably focused on him for a moment, he was wearing a white tank top tightly fitting against his rigid chest muscles, his arms were bare showing his tattoos, Vivian sighted one, it was like a tree with twisted vines drawn around his arm, as he moved his arm it seemed like the vines were further cooling around, it gave Vivian a sort of eerie feeling that she almost shuddered.Her gaze travelled up to his face, he still looked cool and expressionless, but there was a kind of peaceful calmness to him, every feature on his face was impeccable, he had a straight nose, sculpted jawline, perfectly high cheekbones, and his deep set dark eyes. At that moment, Vivian almost felt like he wasn't the craz
Immediately Vivian got off work, the SUV was patiently parked outside the hospital waiting for her, although Vivian knew what a banquet was, she wondered just what sort of celebration Sebastian was taking her to.As they arrived at the mansion, Camilla quickly dragged Vivian upstairs claiming they were going to be late, just like last time Sebastian took her to see his family, a few stylists were brought into her closet to dress her up for the night, Vivian later found out to her shock that all the stylists were the top in the field, how expensive would hiring them be?She curiously questioned Camilla about the banquet and by God the lady was talkative, Camilla kept rambling on and on about it,"Am not really sure exactly where you're going tonight, but I heard from Albert that it is a celebration between all the rulers of the underworld around the country, in these kinds of celebrations, most Don's would bring the people close and important to them so that in a case when their loved
As they strode into the banquet hall Vivian felt the number of eyes on her, she was almost drowned by a wave of embarrassment at the thought that almost all eyes were on her.Immediately they walked in people had already started approaching Sebastian, he nodded lightly at some and even made conversations with a few people, his father Raymond also came up to them."Dad." Sebastian greeted with a nod.His father patted his shoulder with a wide smile on his face, he glanced at Vivian, "How are you dear?""Good evening Mr King." Raymond was the only man in the king family Vivian had a bit of a good impression of, so she returned his smile."Please, call me Dad, we're a family now." He said warmly.Subconsciously, Vivian's expression changed, it had been a long time she last called someone Dad, she had even forgotten the feeling, she immediately recalled her own father, his memories in her mind had started to slowly fade over the years, she no longer even had any pictures of them anymore.
Her heart almost jumps out of her chest when she feels the breeze from the motorcycle as it missed to hit her by only a little bit, it whizzed past her blowing up a wind that blew up her skirt.Vivian's breath had halted for a second so she heaved to catch more oxygen into her lungs. But she soon realized it wasn't a mistake on the motorcycle rider's part when she saw the motorcycle that had just passed her turn around heading for her again, it came straight towards her with a fast speed.In fright, Vivian turned and attempted to leave but was stopped by another motorcycle rider coming towards her again, before she knew it, she was surrounded by countless riders emerging from God knows where all wearing dark helmets over their heads.That was when she realized it probably wasn't just a coincidence, but she was being targeted by someone."Why don't you try to run again, are you scared?" One rider asked with ridicule in his tone behind the helmet, the others chuckled finding it amusing.
