last update Last Updated: 2023-09-06 16:46:36

Vanessa's point of view

"Isn't it better we just put this all behind us, honestly I don't think we should meet that woman and open old wounds," Victoria tried to talk me out of the it that day.

I was back in Los Angeles and we were all in the house together. Anthony wanted to come with but he had some pressing matters to attend to in town, he kept in touch though.

I then turned to Victor, he had a right to give me his opinion too.

He shrugged, "She left when I was young and I wouldn't lie and say I don't want to know the reasons and meet her, I honestly do but it's too much, I don't think I'm ready yet," He turned his face to the side so I wouldn't see the tears that were already forming in his eyes.

"I'm still trying to prevent the bad memories of dad from coming to the surface when I come close to him," He added.

I pursed my lips at those words. I had to make Victor see a therapist to help him, what was I saying..... The entire family needed to see a therapist because there must be

  • A Marriage Of Convenience   Chapter Eighty Two- You have got to be kidding me

    Vanessa's point of viewI was alone again for a few minutes. Mom had to make a call and her absence for those minutes gave me the time to reflect on what she had said about Daniel and the sort of things Dad's friends did to her.If she wasn't lying then something other the drugs was seriously wrong with dad. He hadn't even had the decency of telling us about this.Trading your wife to your friends was the sickest type of thing anyone could do. It was absolutely disgusting.The door opened again and mom came inside the room. I was more than ready to leave this place but something in me told me she wouldn't be as open as she was here outside.She was secure enough to say such things here. She wasn't secure outside."Did you tell any of my siblings this?" I asked."No, I don't think I can tell them. They wouldn't understand especially that sister of yours, Victor wasn't attached to me when I was there, sometimes I even thought he hated me," She said, I felt the pain in her voice even tho

    Anthony's point of view.The sound of Vanessa's moans was the only thing I could hear. The way she called my name and begged me to touch her whenever I teased her for too long was something my body had missed for so long."Princess, you have to relax," I teased her with my teeth, gently nipping on the nipple while I played with the other breast with my hand.She would have glared at me if she could, "Stop wasting precious time, Victor would be back with Xavier soon," She said admist moans of pleasure.I chuckled, "Tell me how much you want me then princess," I slid two fingers inside her and curved it upwards, gently massaging with enough added pressure."I am going to kill you Anthony," She tried to say but the moans was too much for her, she was almost a whimpering mess underneath me.I stopped immediately I knew she was on the verge of an orgasm. I withdrew my hand and just lowered my mouth downwards to place a kiss on her neck."You're torturing me," She whispered in my ears, her

    Vanessa's point of viewThe dinner was Anthony's idea. He invited Elizabeth and Daniel, Ronald and Mary and I invited Victoria and Victor. I invited my dad and mom."I want to stay away from anything the Thorns are involved in dearest, I'm sorry but I won't be able to make it," Mom politely declined."There's no problem but I would be able to call you so you can chip your opinions right,?" I asked her.I could see her weighing her options, deciding if this would be worth the risk."My friend is suffering in silence, something needs to be done to stop this guy once and for all," I chipped in the one thing I knew would help the case. The one thing she might agree to.She sighed, "You can call me whenever you need to buy make sure they don't get my number."I ended the call and went back to preparing for the dinner.Anthony had been quiet for the past few hours after he decided that this was what we needed. He just went about playing with Xavier and staying out of my way.I watched them

    Anthony's point of viewEverything was a blur after that. Mom kept on screaming, she lost that calm composure she normally had whenever something was amiss. Mary started crying profusely and Vanessa tried to calm her down.It was all chaotic.Dad however, brought out a cigarette from from his pocket and lit the stick up. He took in a huge drag from the stick and blew the air out.In all my years of living, I had never seen my dad smoke before. I guessed you don't know everyone, not even someone you've lived with for a huge chunk of your life and once considered your role model."What's the matter boy? Haven't seen your old man smoking before?" He asked then smiled at me. He looked creepy now.Another stick was brought out of his pocket and extended towards me. He wanted me to join him.I moved backwards, "I'm sorry but I don't smoke" I told him.He chuckled, the sound different somehow. More morbid."Everyone dabbles in sin now and then, helps us keep a sharp mind," He told me.The so

    Vanessa's point of viewThey definitely should give me the award for the only person that could go broke few days after she received her salary. I knew I would win that thing with such a wide berth to the first runner up. I checked the figures on my account statement for the umpthenthed time and groaned again at what I saw."What were you expecting Vanessa?" My roommate asked, she didn't even turn around to spare me a glance."That somehow someone rich had sent you some money or you just won the lottery you didn't apply for" She continued.I sighed, groaned into my hands "Perhaps" I said innocently. Mary rolled her eyes at me and did that tsk thing with her tongue. She couldn't even think about dignifying my words with an answer.I watched her apply her eyeliner with exact precision that I was jealous of. I had never been the type of person to know how to apply makeup much less draw a smoky eye wings or whatever."And you know why you don't have money, you send whatever you make in t

    Vanessa's point of view"Well you'll marry my son of course"Elizabeth Thorn had only one child, only one son. I heard from my elder sister gossips about how she had to have her uterus removed because she bled too much when she had him. Also heard from the same sister that was why she wouldn't let us go close to our brother.Those were gossips."You do remember my son, don't you?" She asked. She was watching me closely now and I felt naked, like she could read through me and know my thoughts."How could I forget" I answered, my tone bland and dull.I took my seat back because my head was spinning around the possibility of having everything I always wanted handed to me on a silver platter but with the side attraction of getting married to her son.I leaned forward "Your son is certainly attractive enough, why can't he get married to whomever he wants without your help. I've seen his pictures with the models and actresses and even the girls that are way below his level" I whispered to he

    Anthony's point of viewShe wasn't a great beauty or had any particular features that attracted me to her but damn had she given me one of thebest sex of my life.I watched as she got up from that bed, her waist so dainty it made me want to drag her back into bed so we could continue what we stopped."Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked shyly. She was close to the window that overlooked the grounds and the gates.I watched her as she arched her body into various positions, twisted and turnedher body to catch the early rays of the sun."You look quite beautiful my dear and damn you really know how to work a man up. It's quite adorable" I told her.She laughed, her head thrown back. She was staring at me now and had that twinkle in her eyes."And who told you I want to come a second time, you were not that good" She teased me."You know that's a lie" I teased back "I'll never tell you the truth" She said and as if she got a voice whispering to her, she winked at me."Perhaps

    Anthony's point of viewShe would sit at the back of her class and listen to whatever the teacher had to say without missing anything. She would ace any exam she had. And she would argue with me all day long and one time, she even smacked my head because I wouldn't listen to her reason.And it was a tacky reason.I was not going to have a marriage of convenience or whatever it was my parents call it with Vanessa Ives. I was done with her. I had been done with her a long time ago.She had sent some other texts after I received the first one. Deleted them without even reading. I had no inclination whatsoever to know what she wanted to tell me.Was that why I was drinking myself silly on a Monday evening?"Marriage is not such a bad thing Anthony, if you don't love your wife, you could always get mistresses" Ronald said after I told him what happened.He wasn't drinking as he had promised to stay sober for an entire year but that doesn't mean he wasn't going to get off on some other soci

    Vanessa's point of view"What the heck?"I did not know who uttered those words between Anthony and myself. Out of all the scenerios I had imagined would happen when I finally came to this house, this wasn't what I expected."Josephine," That was definitely Anthony, he held the baby's head with his hand because the shock of the first shout had startled him and he was crying.Anthony had also had the intelligence to bring out his phone and he started recording the scene. He gave me the phone to continue so he could rock Xavier back to sleep."I did not know you were coming now," Josephine jumped out of the man's body, his dick was limp now as he tried to wear his clothes as fast as he could.Anthony seemed to know him."I didn't expect this from any of you, especially you. You're fucking married," Anthony shouted at the man, I was still recording but I made sure Anthony wasn't in the clip.Just Josephine and the man."I'm so sorry, I'm sorry," The man kept on repeating, when he was don

    Vanessa's point of viewReturning back to town wasn't something I had thought about in a long time. Honestly, I figured we were going to just stay in Los Angeles, plant roots down or just leave the place when we desire.Anthony assured me Elizabeth wouldn't take my brother and son away from me, I hadn't seen her yet by the way but Anthony told me she had come. For a brief amount of time however and had left like there was something on her tail."I can't believe I'm leaving Kylie and all my new friends behind again, I was just starting to fit in," Victor complained to no one in particular, he was in his room putting clothes in his bags.I felt bad I was uprooting him from a new life to the old one again after I initially uprooted him from an old life to this. It honestly wasn't fair to the kid but I didn't know what I was going to do.Anthony and I had decided to give it a try again. A real try this time because there was nothing that could stop us, nothing that would come in the way o

    Vanessa's point of viewThe light was blindingly bright and annoying. They should tell the hospital team to work better and build better lights so someone wouldn't wake up and then think she had gone to heaven.The beeping sound of the machine attached to me annoyed me but I let it be, I was still a little bit detached from reality and I did not want to do anything I would regret later on.A figure was seated on the chair by the side, head bent so I couldn't figure out who she was on time. It was Victoria though."Victoria," I tried to call out, my voice felt scratchy and hoarse from lack of use.She didn't stir so I figured out she was asleep. I did not know how long she had been with me so I allowed her to sleep. I drifted off to sleep few minutes later.I woke up two times after. The second time no one was with me and I was groggily anxious, I almost ripped the needles they had attached to me. Luckily a doctor walked into the room at that exact time and was able to sedate me.I sa

    Vanessa's point of viewRegrets. Confusion.Those were the only emotions I felt throughout Anthony's little visit and when he left. Then I felt disappointment because of the way my body reacted to him when he came, when he had us against the wall.The warmness and heat that seemed to pool in between my legs was something I hadn't felt for a very long time. I thought it was because of the pregnancy or childbirth so I didn't think anything was wrong with me.Then Victor. Oh my baby. I had done something I hadn't expected myself to do, all in all I behaved rather poorly when I thought about it."Victor," I whispered before knocking on his door.I had this nagging feeling that Victor would be gone from his room and from my life because he couldn't stand the kind of sister I had become. He would go back to the waiting arms of Elizabeth Thorn."Victor," I called out again, knocked harder but still no response.Was this the silent treatment phase? I opened the door and walked in to find Vic
