Chapter 11"And you got drunk last night? Guess it isn't important to you, then" "The company was actually impressed with my work and asked to see me personally today. I need to get ready as soon as possible!", She freaked out. "For something you're already thirty minutes late for? Coupled with the traffic? Please. You'll never get there in time", he laughed. "Yes I will, and you're going to help me get there!", She grunted and gave him a death stare that almost made him fall to his knees and beg for mercy. "Wh... What do you mean, help you get there? I already planned to rest today-" "I need to take a quick shower in your bathroom. Meanwhile, you're going to go to my room and look for my purple top and a clean pair of jeans for me. Also get me my heels. I need to look professional. Oh, and get me a clean pair of panties and bras. You'd have to smell them to know if they're clean or not", she instructed. "Even if I wanted to help you, I'd still decide not to, because of your abil
Chapter 12"Why are you driving so slow, Anthony? If you keep driving like this, I'm going to get to the company around midnight! Drive faster!", She yelled as she began adjusting her dress and wearing her heels. "If I go faster than this, I'll have the police pull me over and give me a ticket. I've never gotten a ticket before, and I'm not about to get one. I also do not want to die early, so bear with me", he retorted as he kept his eyes on the road. She was about to give him a reply before she felt a buzz in her pocket. She took it out and checked the Caller ID. "Shit!!", She exclaimed, making Anthony more tensed up than ever. "What's the problem this time?!", He questioned as he drove. "The company is calling me! I need to pick it, but I need to doing my makeup too! I can't ignore their calls else they'll think I don't want the job anymore, and I need to look good before I get there!", She freaked out. "You have to do one, then-" "I have an idea! You hold this face mirror wh
Chapter 13"Vivian!! Did you finish the coffee again?!!" Due to the amount of stress Vivian put him through yesterday, he couldn't get a good night rest. He woke up feeling even more tired and hungry. He'd planned that he was going to make himself a good cup of coffee before he'd go to work, only for him to get to the kitchen and see that the coffee can was empty. "Answer me!!", He yelled as he waved the empty container in his hands at Vivian's face. " I think, I did. I didn't know you were going to need the coffee today", she shrugged. "Even if I wasn't going to take it today, why would you finish something that was bought just three days ago, when it's supposed supposed to last us two weeks? Plus, we had an agreement. We agreed not to take ridiculous amounts of coffee so we would have more than enough" "I needed to take it so I could sleep. What's wrong with that?" "Well, now I need it to stay awake. How about that?" "Just go buy a cup of coffee from the coffee shop at the end
After a long, boring day of work, Vivian finally drove into her parents' mansion.To the outside eye, one would think Vivian Carson was living the best life. The only child to the Carson family which was doing quite well for themselves; Her dad was a businessman, and her mum was a retired model. Her dad got her new cars of her choice every year, she graduated out of the best college, and took on the best trips money could afford. She ate the best food, and had everything she needed and wanted at her beck and call. What could get better?But Vivian felt this kind of life was a curse. She hated the life she had.The thing with being the only daughter to an influential businessman was that everything about her was decided by someone else. She never had a choice of her own. From when she was little, she wasn't allowed to eat some meals, as they were considered to be eaten by the average people. Her mum picked the best clothes for her to wear, and she didn't care if it was too tight or, to
Chapter 2At the sound of the announcement, Vivian immediately yanked her hand away from the weird looking man they called Morris Cain."Did I just hear you right?""It depends. If you heard us introduce him to you as your husband, then yes. You heard us right", he said with a straight face."Mr. Morris, meet our daughter and your bride-to-be, Vivian Carson. I hope she meets your taste", her mother asked Morris."Oh, yes I am. I'm really satisfied with what I'm seeing her. She would make a great wife", he smiled with pride, and the scar around his jaw got larger.As they ranted on about her features and how she would make a great housewife, Vivian's stomach churned and her intestines twisted badly.What kind of joke was this? Or was she in a bad dream? How could they talk about her like she wasn't even a living thing that had a right to choose?!"Vivian, I want you to spend some time with him and get to know him better, so you'll be following him home tonight. The wedding preparations
Chapter 14Vivian quickly took out the lasagna out of the oven and placed a portion into a clean plate. Her heart pounding in her chest, she ran to the dining room, where she placed the meal and a cup of water beside it. She nervously walked to living room and she caught sight of the shattered totem lying at a corner of the living room. She cleared everything into a bag just before Anthony walked in.As soon as Anthony stepped in, he sensed something was off. He looked around the living room, but he couldn't exactly tell what was wrong. He was tired of living like this, and it was all thanks to his "lively" roommate. He shook his head as he concluded that there was nothing wrong and it was just his prejudicial instincts.Immediately he stepped him, the aroma of lasagna met his nose. At that point, Vivian came out of the kitchen."Hey! I didn't know you were back! How was work?!", With a grin almost touched both her ears, she walked towards him a hugged him as she took his briefcase f
Chapter 15"Mr. Anthony? Are you awake? Can you see me now?", A distant looming voice called continuously to him. He slowly fluttered his eyes open to see a weird looking man in a whit lab coat standing over him."Good. You're awake now", the man said with a sigh of relief.Anthony craned his neck looking around. He couldn't recognize where he was."Wh... Where am I?", He managed to let out in a mere whisper."You're in the hospital. You were admitted here last night after you passed out from taking a plate of lasagna that had some garlic, which you're allergic to. You're started developing rather serious symptoms to the point where you passed out. Thankfully, you were brought in a ambulance. We managed to stabilize you later that night, but gave you some sleeping pills so you would wake up this morning", the doctor explained.Slowly, memories of what happened happened to him came to mind."You need to thank this young lady here...", He pointed to the woman at the corner of the room
Chapter 16Vivian slowly made her way downstairs, her footsteps echoing through the quiet house. As she descended the stairs, the aroma of something delicious wafted into her nose, causing her stomach to growl in hunger. Curious, she followed the scent, which led her straight to the kitchen.There, she found Anthony, standing by the stove, deeply engrossed in the activity surrounding him. Pots and pans clinked against each other, and the sizzle of something frying filled the air. Vivian's eyes widened as she took in the scene, realizing that Anthony was cooking up a storm."Anthony, what's all this?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise.He turned his head, greeting her with a frown before going back to what he was cooking. "What does it look I'm doing to you?".Vivian probably deserved that.Two days had gone by, and Anthony hadn't spoken to her since she brought him from the hospital and spilled some juice on him. She'd already concluded in her that she was a little bit clumsy.
