Chapter: Murphy's family"No, you and Ralph have moved in here since yesterday night. You will stay here for a few months, with your husband." Bella explained with another smile. Vivian's mouth dropped in shock.She looked in between the two brothers. No, this actually doesn't concern Charles. She glanced at her husband and saw him smiling. Is he okay with this new development? Why didn't he inform her before now?Vivian hissed as she slapped his thighs. "You never told me!" She gritted her teeth in anger."My wife says she will have some watermelon juice instead." Ralph suddenly said and Vivian's eyes went wide again. He doesn't mean it. She hasn't eaten a single thing since yesterday. Bella had a concerning look on her face, "Are you on a diet, Vivian?" She asked.Vivian shook her head negatively. Shit! Ralph just put her in an uncomfortable situation. First, he didn't tell her about them spending months in his parents house and second, he is trying to deny her food? That's ridiculous!"I think his grumpin

Chapter: Grumpy morningVivian couldn't sleep. She touched the second area on the bed and found it very cold which meant Ralph didn't sleep there at all. She shouldn't be bothered but that was exactly the way Charles behaved when they were married.Charles would always return home at midnight. He lied about work into the night. He has always told her that he owed her no explanation but now, she knows he spends most of his intimate time with his mistress.She will wait for him throughout the night regardless. Sometimes, he will come home drunk. Sometimes, he wouldn't even come home at all.He doesn't care that she had spent a lot of time in the kitchen. He doesn't care that she will nurse severe back pain due to her sleeping on the couch regularly. Sometimes, she sleeps off on the couch without realizing it and meets her husband on the bed. He never cared to take her inside the room.She pushed away those thoughts, not wanting to remember them anymore. Charles has hurt her enough. He isn't worth her thinking

Chapter: Family dinner Vivian was surprised that Charles could stop them on their way. She did expect he was going to. They had no business together. Why does it seem like he is pissed about everything?"What do you want, Charles?" Vivian rolled her eyes, folding her arms against her chest. She really doesn't want to talk to him but there is no much choice, is there?Charles scoffed, "You divorced me and hooked up with my brother? How cheap you are!" It does look like he is really pissed about it."No, Charles. You -- divorced me!" Vivian shot back angrily. He shouldn't try to gas light her at all. "Besides, I had no idea you two are brothers. You never mentioned any of your family to me." She added, looking in between the two men.Charles and Ralph stared at each other. It was very obvious that they didn't like each other one bit. "You both didn't look like brothers at the party earlier." Vivian frowned.That was exactly what confused her from the beginning. They didn't bear the same surnames too. How was

Chapter: Brothers"Do you know Charles?" Ralph's mother interrupted and Vivian's entire body got sweaty immediately. She trembled slightly as she couldn't look at the woman in the face. How does she begin to explain? It doesn't make sense. Is she supposed to start telling them how Charles is her Ex - husband and how she married his brother again, Ralph?It seems like she is a leech in their family. This is totally absurd. Immediately, she knew she couldn't stay there. She didn't think she could do this anymore. She never should have come here in the first place.Vivian Jaws tightened as she pushed the dining chair backwards and wanted to stand up. Ralph's hand fell on her thighs. His face was expressionless as she glanced at him. What is he doing? No, he isn't trying to stop her because they both know this wouldn't work out.All she has to do is walk away from all these. She has no choice, she will have to work away from both of them, away from her problems and her plans. She has to forget about her r

Chapter: Family houseShe looked in between them confusingly. "Family house? Are we not going to your own house?" She questioned. "No, we are going to my parents house." He answered without looking at her. Vivian was dumbstruck. "How can you just give the announcement all of a sudden? You are supposed to talk to me first about this." She reared in anger."Why do I need to inform you first?" He asked in a casual tone.She was silent for a few seconds. "Because we are married." She said,"We are married only in name. I can't speak of my personal business with you.""But this is not personal! I am involved! I am not even prepared at all." Vivian argued with a crying voice.Ralph scoffed, "I won't speak to you about anything. I do my things my way." He insisted."Get me out of the car then." She suddenly said, Ralph threw an unfazed look at her like she bored him. "You don't have a choice, Vivian. We are going to see my parents." Vivian tried to unlock the door, forgetting that it was still moving but foun

Chapter: Quick danceAn unsure look crossed Vivian's facial features as she stared back at those waiting for her response. Ralph just mopped out a chance for her to get a slice of her revenge against her ex - husband. "As much as I don't want to see your face, I feel like we should hear what he has to say." She struck a glance at Ralph, "How about we schedule a ten minute meeting?" A sly smile appeared on her face.Charles was flabbergasted as he stared at Vivian in anger. How dare she stomp on him with disrespect like this? Ten minutes meeting? What is he? Someone who wants to have a cheap interview?"Vivian, I can't believe --" He was about to say but Ralph cut him off immediately. "My beautiful wife has spoken and it is my obligation to follow whatever she says." Ralph flashed his wife a cute smile. "Come on, Charles, ten minutes should be enough for you to say whatever you want to say." He added.Charles' contorted face gave away how much anger he was feeling. "Yes but --" He was cut off again."You
