Semua Bab Game Of Chess With My Ex-Husband's Uncle : Bab 31 - Bab 40

~ Vivienne's POV His emerald eyes turned serene as he spoke to me. That was enough to tell me that it was something serious. "Unexpected?" I echoed, trying to make meaning of what he had said. He nodded. "But good news first."I remained quiet, anticipation running through me. I wanted to hear about what he did. "At first, the old man appointment the both of us Co-CEOs.""Co-CEOs?" I'd never heard such a title or position. Especially not in a setting such as the Blackwell Group. "Yeah... First time I heard of something like that too. That geezer really wanted me to share the position with my stupid nephew."Judging by the expression on his face, I knew Lorenzo would have been very much irritated by what the chairman did. It would have been an insult to him. In the first place, it wasn't like he wanted the position or needed it for anything. I knew he didn't need it. He was only doing this for me when he would have rather taken his revenge in his own way. I listened quietly, wai

~ Vivienne's POV I couldn't understand why his expression suddenly changed. 'What did he see on his phone? Does it have anything to do with me?' I wondered. Lorenzo took another glance at me and walked opened the door, walking out with bold steps. My office phone rang almost immediately, I picked it up."Miss Vivienne, you have visitors.""Thank you, Hannah. Please send them in." I returned the phone back to it's positive and sighed, sinking into my seat. Hannah was the one who was voluntarily playing the role of a secretary for me. She had insisted on doing it despite my attempts to prevent it from happening. I mentally noted it down to request for an appropriate secretary who could assist me at the office. I already had Hannah and Vincent to assist me in the lab. I had started working at the Academic Medical Center as a research scientist and a doctor. I had only been doing the work of a scientist and since I hadn't had any clients. I hadn't been able to perform the role of a

~ Vivienne's POVIn all my life, I never considered the possibility that I would ever be in such a situation. Was it because I wasn't of any value to anyone? No, that wasn't it. I simply judged that it was never going to happen. But here I was, being manhandled and hurled through the air while being unable to make any sound or noise. The men carrying me were strong and didn't care much about how tightly they held me. My body screamed from the painful and strong grip of their hands. Why was I in such a situation? I just wanted to go home and rest. Who did I offend so badly that the only solution was to kidnap me?Before I knew it, I was thrown into a vehicle and made to sit on an uncomfortable seat. My mouth got freed in the process. I groaned from the pain and then finally had the chance to observe my surroundings and see the people who had just seized me from in front of my car. They were wearing hoodies and had nose masks on. Before I could say a word, I heard one of the men spe

~ Lorenzo's POV 'She really is different... Special.' Those words repeated once again in my head the more I looked at her and spoke with her. At this point, I was sure she also had feelings for me just as bad as I did for her. There was no point hiding it anymore. She was still shy but she didn't refrain from speaking her mind and questioning me. It was refreshing to have someone talking to me in that manner. She wasn't scared of me in the slightest even after knowing who I was and what I was capable of doing. 'Those Cora bastards!' I seethed. They were just a group of useless people who were trying to oppose me. I didn't know who was behind them and they were very elusive people. Some weeks ago, I had given Eric the order to monitor their activities and track them down in case they tried to do something stupid. But I also didn't have the energy to waste on them since they couldn't do much to affect me anyway. But now, they had discovered my connection somehow. This was why t

~ Vivienne's POV "We're here." Lorenzo announced as he put the car in park and glanced at me. "That was fast..." I noted, wondering if he had raced the car more than normal. The distance from my office to my house was not very far away but I still expected the drive to take longer than it actually did. The conversation and emotions and thoughts in my head made it seem as though time had flown past with no warning. Now, it was time for me to climb out of the car and go to my penthouse to rest. My hand was on the door handle, but I somehow couldn't find the strength to open it. My body didn't want me to move or leave. There was a tingling sensation on the skin of my neck and the side of my face. I knew he was staring at me. I dreaded so much as glancing back at him because I knew his gaze could pull me in like an inescapable net. I still didn't move. Perhaps I was waiting for him to say something... do something. Maybe I even wanted him to insist on following me to my penthouse do
