(Vivienne) "Wow," I muttered in perfect amusement when my eyes fell on the hall before me. I couldn't keep from admiring such beauty before meImmediately we got to the vast party hall. My eyes widened in amazement. For a second I thought I was at some planned movie scene party because the lights were mesmerizing. The interior decorations were top notch and the cool pleasant atmosphere was quite inviting. Like Mandy said. It was a high-class party with an extravagant setup. The tables were arranged according to only four people per table. I smiled lost in a different world of men and women who were talking and when we were joined by four people two ladies and two men. I didn't know what to say"Is she Victor...she's beautiful...is your hair naturally red" the lady in a mermaid tail half shoulder. She looked beautiful but I did know why she had white gloves on"Umm""Yes darling, such great hair you have...it's so rare...I love your eyes, they are beautiful" another one said and I st
It didn't matter where I was, I always had protection with me and if any man wanted to take advantage of me, the had to be ready to lose a part of their body"Hey...is the food delicious, "someone asked and this time it was Zion. I blinked a few times knowing I was sitting on a table all by myself trying out new and different cuisines the waiters brought to me. I was having fun tasting something sour and sweet that I forgot about the rest of the world and dug in"Hi...done already"I asked knowing he too was part of the squad having a business talk with Victor"Nah...I was bored...wanna dance…." he asked with a grin and I shook my head, not at the food. I hated slow dancing but I didn't even have time when he grabbed my hand and pulled me up. I laughed at how ridiculous he was but he smirked and dragged me to the dance floor where some coupes were dancing"So... Ms. Payton...how old are you?" the man asked as he placed his hand on my waist while he held my other hand and I placed mine
(Vivienne)I couldn't believe myself even if I wanted to, I just couldn't come to terms with the fact that I was dancing with Victor. His arms were around my shoulders and mine were around his neck. We didn't rush things but I guessed our moves were slower than the song playing. I couldn't keep my eyes off himI was lost in his eyes whose color I only saw when the flashing lights cast ray's on his face just for a moment but even so. I loved the dim lighting in the roomIt gave me the courage to stare at him without worrying about anythingThe atmosphere in the room was intoxicating. I failed to understand anything but I didn't want to go away from him. I just wanted us to dance until our feet gave upLooking at him, he wasn't saying anything. He was quiet and his silence was making me wonder what was going on in his mind. Did he like the idea of us dancing together"Sir" I muttered when he turned me around and my back turned to him. His arm and hand snaked to my front and rested in m
Victor got outside after searching the entire lady's restroom. He was damned if he didn't find his Surrogate. Something must have happened to her because even her phone was off. She called him but wasn't answeringThis was real life, not a joke so where was she"Sir... I'll call the team and look for madam," Jason said as soon as he joined Victor outside the hotel's first-floor parking area. Immediately his boss asked about the madam he had gone out to look for her but so far they didn't see anything. Although they were supposed to be worked up and worried. Jason was surprised to see how calm his boss of"Leave it...give me the car keys," Victor said, extending his hand to get the car keys and Jason gave them to him hesitantly. Victor didn't say anything but just walked to his car, settled, in, and glanced at his phone again. People were ridiculous, he didn't understand why certain people were so ignorant. The little lady was abducted by people he didn't know and the video they sent t
Victor failed to get his Surrogate in control. No matter how he tried to keep her away from the nearly dead man. She brutally dug the knife into his flesh and he swore it hurt more than anything but he didn't want her to commit a crime"You pig will die by my hands...how dare you to touch me...you acted so smart...rascal!" she growled out with so much rage that Victor was stunned. He wanted to stop her but her anger was on another level. Her breathing was scary for a woman; she seemed a little savage. For a second he didn't understand how she failed to defend herself but what he heard next shocked him that he didn't believe"I'm pregnant you beast...how dare you try to hurt the baby...do you know how precious he is...you deserve to die"she spat out bitterly as the man started crawling away from her. He was lifeless as he begged and cried to be left alone but Victor was still in shock, dumbstruck. He thought she was concerned about herself. They hit her head badly and she was bleeding
(Vivienne)It was hard to start a proper conversation with Victor. He wanted to leave but I asked him to wait until I was done having my ice creamAfter what transpired between us at the party which I couldn't finish. I felt shy just having him around but it was best he left seeing how unhappy he seemed"I'm...tired now...you can go, "I said with a lazy stretch and yawned as I gathered myself up and covered the boxes I wasn't eating from. Victor didn't even waste time as he got up from the carpet both of us were sitting on and prepared to walk to the door.I failed to understand why he didn't just send his men or helpers to give me what I wanted but he came and didn't even utter a word when I was talking to himAt times his silence made me seem like a very talkative girl when in reality I was a sweet girl who hated talking"Goodnight sir" I muttered as soon as I opened the door for him and stood to the sides and watched him walk out. He didn't even look back and I was about to close
(Vivienne)The following days were boring for me because I had to spend them alone. Victor was busy with his work which was a good thing for me. If he even dared to approach me then I promised to avoid him like the plagues.Three days passed and everything was over. Victor was done with his business matters and it was time for us to get back homeAfter that kissing incident, I tried, by all means, to act as if nothing happened between us. It was late in the morning when we boarded the jet. Like the last time. I chose to be by myself and slept throughout the entire flight. When we arrived I was well awake because I didn't want to give him a reason to touch me in the name of lifting me, it was nice to be back in London. I hugged myself, pulling the coat around me together, and got out. I thought I was going to ride in the same car as the grumpy man but once we got out. I was surprised to see Leo and Kyan waiting for us"Hey! Hey Vivie!"I heard screaming rrom afar and I knew he was acti
Justin failed to understand Monica in any way. Yes, her sister's death brought sadness to the family. Everyone we're devastated when Alisa died but Monica had to understandNo matter how much they try to live in the past, there was always a future waiting for them to continue living but she thought Victor opening up to something new was him forgetting about Alisa"Sweetie, try to understand...I know and feel your pain but...Vic needs someone to get him out of depression" Justin murmured as he moved close to Monica and cupped the sides of her face. She cried uncontrollably and he hated seeing her in tears. Alisa was her only sister and the only family she had when she died so unexpectedly. Monica had it worse hence he understood how she felt"But...she loved him a lot...their marriage was forced by our parents but...she treated it like her life," she said with shortened breaths. Justin gripped her face even tighter and leaned close to her. She was trembling in his arms hence he wrapped
