"So sir this is our latest plan...with the upcoming project I'm sure our company will be on top, "the manager said as he showed the board of directors in the room and Victor, who was sitting in his boss chair, narrowed his eyes as he fixed them on the projector.Since morning he had been busy with work, attending meetings, and hosting lunch meetings and now they were in the conference room viewing the latest projects made by various departments. He trusted his employees knowing they would deliver nothing but the very best and sitting there as he listened to the department head present what they had. He was more than satisfied as he leaned his entire weight to the armrest supporting his chin with his hands. Beverly was standing to his right side since she was his trusted secretary. Several times her phone had been ringing but she cut it off. She didn't know why she was receiving so many calls when the meeting they had was an important one"And to conclude...this is the outcome of our w
(Vivienne)When I woke up, I couldn't move my body. Everywhere was hurting that it was so unbearable that I couldn't help but let out sounds"Careful...don't move too much"I heard Victor say and when I looked up, he was standing close to my bed supporting my back with his hands. I didn't know what happened but when I looked around. I saw that we were in a hospital roomThe sight of machines and the smell of medicine scared me and I became restless."It's...it's hurting...why is it hurting"I muttered trying, by all means, to keep calm but my abdomen was hurting so much that I closed my eyes, biting my lower lip to keep the pain at bay. "Shh...it's going to be fine, the painkillers have worn off" Victor whispered as he moved closer to me and sat on the bed, and pulled me in his arms. Victor sat beside me and wrapped his arms around my body. I ended up resting my head on his chest and exhaled heavily. I wasn't in control of myself"You'll be fine sweetie...I can't give you an injection
(Vivienne)It was best Victor didn't find out about my age. It didn't matter to me and I knew it wouldn't to him. Looking at him staring at me with narrowed eyes, I feared he heard what we were discussing but if he did then he would have lashed out not asking questions, and when Leo glanced at me. I blinked helplessly hoping he didn't tell Victor anything"Well... d...she wants to get out of here but I well...I asked her to tell you the truth that...she doesn't like it here" Leo beat me to it before I could answer. Although he was stammering while making up the lie. I saw Victor's knitted brows go back to normal and I knew he didn't care"It's crowded here...leave now you are not needed here," Victor said bitterly and walked to my bed. I saw Leo nod without question"Sweetie I'll come by tomorrow...please take care of yourself"Leo turned to me and said with a smile. Caressed my forehead and traced his hand to the sides of my face. All my life I've never seen anyone show concern over a
As soon as Victor left the room his Surrogate was in, he let out an exhale as he ran his hand in his hair not sure what to do about the woman. She was a pain in the neck and someone she didn't want around."Have we met before?" he muttered the same question she asked him. Everything was mixed up with him. Siince when did he find any other woman attractive other than Alisa. He loved his wife no matter what but in just a matter of months his Surrogate broke a few walls he had built around himself and he didn't like thatShe was way too outspoken and the mistake he made was giving in to his urges. Especially the urge to kiss her. Her lips were so soft and kissing her was something he craved since that night he got her out of the pool and gave her mouth to mouth. He was always in control of himself but recently. His feelings and body were obeying a certain rule and he failed to understand which rule that was"Hey, Vic...you should go home and rest. I'll stay with her, "Monica said as she
"I got this...I don't need your help!"Monica lashed out and pushed Cassy away. Cassy stumbled back but came forward and tried to keep Monica away. I sat there not sure why they were fighting over something so little. It had been two weeks and finally, I got out of the hospital. Monica and Cassy clashed when they came to get me. Cassy didn't want Monica to touch me saying she was bitter and Monica said Cassy had no say in anything because she was just an outsider. I was helpless, not sure who to defend"You are a mean witch…Victor should kick you out of here!"Cassy growled out and came forward and to my bed"You are nothing but a pathetic loser...I don't even know which hole you crawled out from..you have no class whatsoever" Monica said disdainfully and moved aside. She looked angry, and so did Casey. The two women were at each other's throat which made me worry"That's enough...she just got out of the hospital...stop fighting already"the door to my bedroom opened and Leo, together w
(Vivienne)"Thanks, Bobby," I said with cheers and dropped all the three bars of chocolate I had in my hands. He seemed surprised as he looked at me with a shocked expression "I'll take a while...you can go"I said waving at him and walking towards the entrance of the building. It had been a while since I came here. It looked a bit different or was it just that Victor's possessions were better and more advanced.He was the better man and someone who I knew could make people tremble. I wondered how he felt about being rich, normally he was always grumpy and never smiled. He had everything at his disposal, he never lacked a dime but why wasn't he happy. I shrugged and held my black purse in front of me and the doors to the front entrance openedThe smell of lavender hit my nose as the cool air blew gently. I smiled and walked to the reception. The first time I came here, the makeup lady was so mean to me. The second time she didn't even want to look at me but I didn't care so I proceeded
(Vivienne)Maybe I was being a little paranoid thinking about Victor. He was in danger earlier and all I thought about was that he was with a woman. Looking at him I saw how tired he looked. Although he was trying to hide it. "This wasn't necessary," Victor said as he scanned the file I gave him. He looked up and I couldn't help but be concerned with him"It is...you didn't eat anything...please eat something" I muttered and shoved the lunch pack to his side. He scanned the blue bag on his desk for a while then looked up at me"I'm not hungry...plus I'm going out," he said and averted his eyes from me. I frowned not sure why he was refusing me when I wanted this"Are you not hungry or maybe you just don't want to?"I asked and shoved the lunch pack to his side. He shook his head and fixed his eyes on the computer"Why...Julia said you...you didn't have breakfast" I lashed out, not sure why he didn't take care of himself properly. I asked his servants if their boss ate any breakfast be
Victor failed to understand what to do about his Surrogate. It seemed her pregnancy hormones were doing things to her. He had tried to handle her throughout his existence and for the first time, he didn't know what to do about a woman's emotions. "No...no don't stop…" she whined as she gripped his chest tightly. She was holding nothing but his flesh since all the buttons were open. He noticed how delirious she was because she was digging her sharp nails in his flesh causing him pain"Are you happy now?" he muttered as he fisted the back of her head and cupped her face with his large hand. Her face was too small that she could fit very well in his hand"No...you stopped...kiss me again" she mumbled and rubbed her face on his chest. Victor was at a loss, was she drunk. He smelled her breath and it was all fruity and no alcohol of some sort but she was fine hence it surprised him how she was acting like she had been intoxicated with something"Ms. Payton...this is wrong...your hormones
