VivianI stood there stunned into silence, not knowing how to respond to his abrupt confession. I admit that I found him attractive and felt at ease with him, but I hadn't wandered as far as catching feelings for him.I looked at him, and I felt a bit guilty for what I was about to do. He was waiting, his eyes looking hopeful. But I had to stop this in its growing stages.“Richard, I...I'm sorry.” I said, the words tumbling out. “I shouldn't have brought up my marriage. It's my problem and I'll manage it.” Richard's eyes were fixed intently on mine with an unreadable expression. He swallowed pensively and nodded in understanding, “There's no need to apologize, Viv. I'm the one who should be sorry.” He said, his voice filled with regret. “I had no right to say what I did. Your marriage is your business and I should respect that.”I exhaled deeply, tears of relief in my eyes. “Thank you, Richard. I appreciate that. Let's just keep this between us, okay? I don't want this to complicat

VivianI stood there, frozen in shock, as the words cut through the room like a knife. I turned around and my eyes met hers and for a moment, we just stared at each other. It was no one other than the witch, Eve. I was taken aback by her presence, and I couldn't help but wonder what she was doing here. Her stare was filled with a mix of anger and resentment as she continued spewing out her lies."You're a two-timer, Vivian," she spat, her voice venomous. "Playing Richard here for a fool, just like you played your husband, Nate. You're a master manipulator, using people for your own gain."The room fell silent, and I felt embarrassed as I glanced around taking in the expressions of the people in the crowd. I felt my face burn with anger and shame. Why was she lying about me in front of all these people? I tried to speak, but my words caught in my throat.Richard's grip on my arm tightened. It was a silent show of support. "That's enough," he said, his voice firm.But Eve wasn't fini

VivianI sat slumped in my office chair, feeling relieved that I was away from all the tension and drama at home. The day had just started but I already had all my energy sucked out of me.Despite how I felt, it was just another normal day at work, and I needed to finish all my tasks. I couldn't allow my dampened mood affect my work delivery.The clacking of the keyboard resounded in the office as I tapped away, getting engrossed with work.My phone rang, interrupting the flow. I glanced at the screen, the thin line of my brow jumping in surprise at the name that flashed. It was Richard. I seriously didn't know how I would react when I saw him after yesterday's disaster. “Good morning Vivian.” He greeted, his cool voice coming through the phone.”How are you doing this morning?”I responded, hiding the trepidation in my voice, “Good morning sir. I'm doing quite well.” “Could you please come over to my office?” He asked, calmly. I nodded, forgetting he couldn't see me. “Okay sir, I'l

Chapter 67Vivian's POVI noticed how grave Richard's expression was, his eyes still fixed on mine with an intensity that made me shiver. This was not the Richard I thought I knew. I guess Nate was right after all. He was not who I thought him to be Without another word, he started the car and pulled out of the stopped position, continuing the drive. It was silent and tense as we drove, nearing our destination.As we drove into the parking lot, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I was glad to be back at the office, surrounded by familiar faces and places. The moment he pulled into the parking spot, I wasted no time as I quickly gathered my things, eager to escape the tense atmosphere and him. "Thanks for the ride, Richard," I said, my voice polite but distant.I walked away, I heard Richard call out behind me. "Vivian, please wait!" he gasped I turned to see him getting out of the car, a look of concern etched on his face. He walked towards me, his hands held up in a gesture o

VivianNate's frown only deepened. "What's going on, Vivian? Are you alright? I've been trying to reach you."I sighed, unsure of how to react. But Nate's concerned expression put me at ease.“I was just…working on something. I must have missed your calls or something,” I admitted vaguely, stepping aside to let him in.Nate's eyes narrowed as he entered. I shut the door and continued, "I'm fine by the way, thanks for asking. It's just been a long day."Nate stood, hands in pocket as he surveyed the room, his eyes staying on the laptop for a bit longer than necessary. As I looked closer at him, I noticed that something was off. He looked tired, his eyes sunken and his skin pale. I felt my concern reaching a filled out stage as I approached him worriedly."Nate, what's wrong?" I asked, my concern shifting to him. "You look exhausted."Nate sighed, rubbing his eyes. "I didn't sleep well last night. I've been having some trouble with...some things."I sensed that there was more to it, but
