(Vivienne)"Hehehe...s...stop it...that's enough"the licking was so much that I couldn't help but laugh. It was ticklish that I turned to get rid of whatever it was and when my hands brushed in fur."Tiny?"I was surprised when my eyes opened only to find the brown furry puppy staring at me with cute eyes and when I tried to touch it, it jumped on my chest and licked me again, happiness washed over me"Hey boy when did you come huh, "I said while lifting it off my chest and raising it in the air it made low sounds and I smiled and tried to sit up"Oh god...this is a disaster" even getting up was a huge problem all because of my big belly. "So did the grumpy man bring you back huh...are you fine?"I asked while I checked its little paw to see if it was alright. The last time I saw it, the doctor told us the surgery they did on it was successful and just needed time to heal and now I saw it was even stretching itself. I smiled and hugged it in my chest feeling relieved that the little th
"Is everything okay...do you feel uncomfortable...have you eaten...come take a seat" every time he asked so many questions and once and forcefully led me to sit and like a fool, I complied and sat comfortably on the sofa and cradled the puppy in my lap"Aren't you coming, sir...I'm about to leave"I asked, keeping my eyes on the puppy and I played with its ears. He never came with me unless he wasn't so busy but now I knew he wasn't coming"Ms. Payton, I have a business trip in two days...I won't take long but today I'll be around but I just won't come with you" he said hearing his voice he was calm and collected which made me angry but I didn't have to show my anger other than endure this"Okay""Kyan will escort you...the driver is waiting for you better get ready...I'll inform Maverick" the man said and I had nothing to say to him. He was a busy man and I didn't have to worry. "Fine," I said letting go of the puppy and it jumped off my lap and ran away I rested my hands on the armr
(Vivienne)"P...please this is a lie...tell me you are lying"I was devastated and confused as I stood there looking at the two men with shocked expressions. Judging, by the way, they were looking at me I knew they were surprised to see me but I wanted to hear the real truth from them and upon seeing me. Doctor Maverick regained his senses and rushed to me"Vivienne...oh no...please take a seat," he said as he held me by the shoulders because I was on the verge of collapsing. My body had become so weak that I could pass out any time soon but even so, I managed to shrug his hands away from me"Please Vivienne sits down...you are burning up"this time doctor Justin rushed to hold me when I was about to collapse and he slammed the door shut and guided me to the bed. I didn't protest but complied as I sat down and the two doctors helped me sit comfortably and supported my back with several pillows"Please Vivienne don't stress...you are unwell"doctor Justin muttered as he sat beside me but
"What happened...Kyan are you sure you didn't see her?"Monica asked as she paced back and forth by the entrance door glancing at the watch around her wrist occasionally. She was agitated and worried about Vivienne. "Aunt Moni I didn't leave her one bit...the nurse took her to see the doctor while I went to the cafeteria to get some snacks for her"Kyan said for a hundredth time not sure how Vivienne disappeared just like that. He didn't leave her but just gave her some space to see doctor Maverick while he got her something to eat unfortunately when he was done and decided to give her some ice cream. He was told she left a while ago by Justin and Maverick "Then where the heck is she...her phone was left in the car including her purse" Monica yelled mostly directing anger to herself. She was worried because it was getting late and Vivienne was nowhere to be seen. She already called Victor and he went out looking for her to areas she loved going sometimes to relax but so far she has he
Meanwhile, Victor was driving through the familiar streets his Surrogate always came to. First, he started at the fast-food eating place just by the roadside..it was busy like every time he came to get her even when the snow was falling heavily"No sir...today she didn't come...it has been a month now," the old man rolling up a dough said shaking his head when Victor showed him his Surrogate's pic"Are you sure...maybe she came and you did see her?" he asked, still showing the man that unfortunately his attempts were in vain. Vivienne was not here and of what the man said she hasn't been here for a month and he understood that because he forbade her from leaving the house"Damn it...where could she be!"Victor muttered angrily as he kicked the car Tyre so hard that he didn't even feel the pain. His hair had turned white from all the snow landing on him. His coat was wet from the melted snow and his shoes were something else. For four hours he had been looking around for his Surrogate a
By now the rest of the family had gathered in the living room waiting for Victor to return. Leo was pacing around while Justin was called to the hospital for an emergency which was why Leo was forced to come back from his search. Kyan was with Monica while Martha who joined them after she came back from the hospital was giving out coffee which none in the room wanted to takeThis had never happened before, Vivienne was never this careless no matter what she told everyone where she was going and if she would take long however now she had Everyone on the edge of their seats wondering where she could be at such a time. Leo had searched places he knew she would go to unfortunately he didn't find her. He even went as far as going back to the same orphanage she grew up in, just maybe she went there for something but nothing. He called Cassy but she was out of town hence he was helpless and ended up coming back to the mansion"I'm sure Vic will find her...the police are searching too," Marth
"How long huh?"Monica asked after a while of sitting there. The rest just looked at her with blank expressions knowing it had only been five minutes since the entire process started. The family was gathered outside despite the many times they told them to go to the private waiting room but they refused and wanted to be there to hear the baby's first cry"This should be done...what's going on...is Vic leading this"Kyan added, he was more than agitated as he paced back and forth just trying to get it out of his system. Martha and Justin had an emergency hence they left from there while Leo was standing by the door drinking coffee"Kyan do I look okay...I mean the baby needs to see her aunt is the most beautiful"Monica said checking her face but she looked horrible with all the dark circles around her eyes. She had been crying for a long time and barely got any sleep all because of Vivienne. Who knew what happened to her to be here but she prayed Vivienne made it as well as the baby. It
(Vivienne)It felt like a dream, I felt empty and aching everywhere. I tried to move myself hoping to stop the pain I was feeling but everything seemed hard. I wanted so badly to open my eyes and see where I was unfortunately they seemed glued and wouldn't open"Ahh!"I tried to shift a little and when I moved my hand. I felt a sharp pain that made me his and kept my hand still. My head was spinning and when I flickered my eyes opened. I could only see blurry visions and it took blinking multiple times to finally adjust to the Bright Light of the strange room I found myself in"Well you are awake" I heard a small female melodious voice and suddenly a nurse was standing before me. She was smiling at me which made me wonder. I was so lost to find myself in the white-painted room which smelled like medicine and a mixture of certain cleaning agents"W...what happened here?"I managed to voice out the words but hearing myself, I sounded so restrained as if I had lost my voice at some point"
