Cinderella's love story Chapter 69 The storm is coming 1
Luna left without even touching her food tray. The papers she left him eat away at his curiosity, he longs to turn them over to see what's on there, will they make a difference in his life or not? Are not.So he ate first and then brought the paper to the office. After answering several phone calls, he forgot about the note and left.Vivian was home alone waiting for him. Returning in the evening, he took her out to get some fresh air and apologized to her because he had been so busy lately and didn't have time for her. He also wanted private time with her when Juke and his mother weren't home."I've never seen this dress before." He commented as Vivian walked out of the room, they walked towards the door together.Holding his hand tightly, she said. "I went shopping again. You don't mind, right?""Of course not." He smiled. "As long as you like it."They went to a fancy restaurant for dinner and drove back home with full stomachs. Driving into the garage, they held hands and walked a

Short snippets of conversation flashed through Jaime's head. Gripping the paper tightly, he forced himself to calm down and close his eyes. Placing the papers on his desk, he convinced himself that if Vivian was in trouble and needed him, she would tell him.She will do so because she loves and trusts him as he has always loved and trusted her. If Vivian needs anything, she knows she can talk to him because he will help her.Quickly silencing the suspicious voices at the back of his head, he picked up the documents that Luna had just brought and went out to complete today's surveillance.Half an hour passed, and his mind was only half there, the secretary stood beside him, summarizing the sales and profits of each store. Jaime's eyes looked around as he walked up from one floor to the next, a voice in his head telling him he needed to go home.It's disappointing to think that behind every sweet move Vivian makes towards him might be that she's hiding something. Because of Vivian, he w

Vivian heard the door close and the shower started to run. Something was wrong but she thought it was because he was stressed at work. Closing the wardrobe, Vivian walked out of the room and into the kitchen to warm up food for Jaime.She had prepared dinner earlier because Juke and her mother had not returned yet. After Jaime finished bathing, she wanted him to eat something warm before going to bed. Maybe they could make love again, this time without him having to use protection.She suddenly felt she was ready to try for pregnancy. How nice would that be, she started thinking, if she had a child, Juke wouldn't be alone, and neither would she, Jaime would have the family he always dreamed of.The thought of her small family eased her loneliness and anxiety, but an hour later, he still hadn't left the bedroom.Deciding to go check on him, Vivian went upstairs and opened the bedroom door, discovering Jaime reading a book at his desk. Disappointed that he didn't say he had to finish th

He nodded. "Okay. I also have something to tell you."Vivian looked at him, curious. "Really." Closing the door behind him, he sat on the bed, waiting for her. "It seems like you're in a bad mood lately. I wonder if I did something wrong."Jaime clutched the promissory notes in his hand and glanced down at them. Then he looked at her. "Vivian, can you be honest with me?""Of course."He was starting to get nervous again, unsure if he could handle the truth she was about to tell, whatever it was. Pressing his lips together, he glanced at her, forcing him to continue. "What did you spend that amount of thousands of dollars on?"Vivian looked at him then her eyes looked over the walls then back to him. She answered while playing with her fingers. "I went shopping."A pained frown crossed his face. Why does she keep lying?“Why can't you tell me the truth?” He asks. Vivian's eyes widened proving his answer. He gives the paper to her. “Please explain this to me.”Vivian's eyes hovered over

When control of her body ceased, her arms and legs moved on their own. Taking her bag, she stuffed her clothes in, her belongings weren't much anyway.Unzipping the bag, she turned and opened the door, then slammed it shut. Her heart pounding, her head spinning, her hands clutching her bag, she strode toward the door.This is nothing new. She left home before, then left her aunt's house. Now she's leaving again. Why stay here? She hates this place. Mrs. Maggie is not her mother."Vivian?" Her mother called out, hurrying towards her. Grabbing her arm, she asked worriedly. "Where are you going? Is something wrong, Vivian..."The only logical thing that went through her mind was that Jaime's words had awakened her, causing her to snap out of her long-held dream. Everything was doomed from the start because this place didn't belong to her.She is not her mother's daughter. She never belonged anywhere. And this house is not even that.Putting on her shoes, she turned toward the door and cl

All thoughts of Vivian cheating disappeared from his mind. He pushed his way through the dense crowd, trying not to go crazy or imagine the worst. The closer he got to the front, the more he began to see red flames in the windows of the apartments, panic taking over him. Jaime watched the crowd scream as one of the windows broke and fell from the fire.Panicked, he grabbed someone in front of him. "What's happening?"The man explained tremblingly. "The fire started on the fourth floor. Everyone was evacuated but those on the tenth floor and above were trapped."His heart skipped a beat. "No..." He muttered then shouted at the now hysterical building. "No. Vivian."She lives on the twelfth floor. Room 1224. He still remembers. Still remember the first time she brought him up that rainy day, telling him about her younger brother.Vivian... trapped in the fire...Frighteningly pushing his way through the remaining crowd, Jaime rushed forward. Out of nowhere, he was pushed back and stoppe

Aiden - the secretary - bowed to him at the elevator, and walked inside with him. "President Evans has booked lunch with you tomorrow. It's about his daughter, you have to come this time.""Where?" Jaime asked, his flat eyes looking at the silver reflection on the elevator wall."In the same place.""I just need to be on time, right?" Jaime asked."Yes.""Do I have anything on my schedule today? Have you done the report I asked you to do?""Yes, they're on your desk." The man with a slim figure answered. "A new beauty salon just opened. Do you want to go see it first?""Uhm." The elevator opened and they turned into a hallway. Jaime opened the door to his office, stopping when he spotted Luna sitting in a chair next to the break area.Jaime turned to his secretary. "Can you go?"With a nod, Aiden walked out and closed the door. Taking a deep breath, Jaime walked forward and sat across from Luna. President Evans recently mentioned wanting him to remarry."Wazzup?" Jaime asked. "I thoug

"Are you here?" Vivian said, opening the door.Jerry smiled back, holding out a bouquet of flowers. "You can use it to decorate your place.""I wish this was food." Holding the bouquet of flowers, Vivian moved aside to let Jerry in."Have you met Hodja?" Jerry asked, glancing around."I'll come visit this Sunday. You know, I've been quite busy these past few days." Vivian replied, looking for a vase to put flowers in. "I also need to buy something for my niece first. I can't come without anything.""You should call Hodja, and tell him you're back in the country." Jerry picked up a strange pen and observed it.Vivian snorted behind him. "Uhm. Sit down and eat together."He replied. "President Daniel wants us to start as soon as possible.""Really?" Vivian looked at him with a smile."That's right." Jerry nodded. "Looks like we finally have a steady job to do."Vivian smiled, carrying a vase containing beautiful forget-me-nots. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" Preparing the side dishes, she

5 months later...The road she traveled over the years was full of rocks. Vivian doesn't understand why small things turn into such great things. Life is a circle, she ran a big circle and finally returned to the starting point.She learned that with perseverance, one can go further and that weightless dreams can take flight one day. When the road is long and dark, it means the end is near, there will be light at the end of the road.All we need to do is put in effort and courage, no one can get out of their dark path without scars.That's difficult. Her heart is small and scared but the fear is less now than before.Vivian finds it funny how dramatic and difficult situations have happened to her and Jaime. However, in the end, they somehow remained together hand in hand.She couldn't know if they were soul mates in existence, but she believed that deep down, they had built an eternal bond somewhere from the beginning. That bond remains even after two years apart.She was happy that J

"Wait." Jaime quickly pulled Vivian back as soon as she opened the bedroom door.The bags hanging from her arms collided with each other. She asked with irritation. "What's up?""Close your eyes. Don't open them until I tell you to."Vivian snorted. "Is this some trick from that stupid book Clinton lent you?"His eyes became warm. "Of course not." Even though that's a lie. This was a cliché idea he read from a chapter in a book Clinton gave him: How to Surprise a Woman.Vivian closed her eyes.“Did you close your eyes?” He leaned forward to check."Yes." She nodded. Grabbing her shoulder, he led her into the room, gently closing the door behind him. Turning on the light, he led her toward the bathroom and stopped right in the doorway."OK, you can open your eyes." He said and smiled with satisfaction when Vivian saw rose petals floating on the bathtub. The scent of lavender and rosemary flows from lit candles placed around the rim of the tub.Vivian smiled impressed. "Are you serious?

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Vivian sobbed and pulled her mother close as if if she loosened her grip, she might lose her again.It's been a long time since she touched her mother's hair, smelled her scent, or hugged her tightly. All the regrets and pain shattered in that moment, nothing was more important than this moment. "Mom."Their reunion was spent crying and apologizing. Tears fell from all the hurt they had carried over the years. Each tear carries a different story every time it falls.There hasn't been a day since their father passed away that their small family of three has felt so complete."Look at you two." Her mother cried, stroking both of her children. The fact that they survived without their mother's warm hands, she said in a hoarse voice. "You two have grown up very well. My children.""I brought my daughter. Do you want to meet her?" Hodja asked. Picking up baby Esther from the ground, he gave the baby to Mrs. Maggie. "Esther, this is your grandmother. It's your gra

Vivian stayed at Hodja's house, hiding there for a few days until she calmed down and thought things through, but she felt like she was causing trouble for his small family. They are happy. She couldn't go to Jerry's house, so her brother's house was the last thing on her mind.First thing in the morning, Aiden called to let her know she didn't have to go to Jaime's office anymore, and instead she could work with Jerry.The past few days, burying herself in work had helped take other thoughts from her mind, but returning to the solace of Hodja's apartment was completely different. The room was very quiet.She lay on the cold bed and couldn't sleep. When she has nothing to do, she often walks around the apartment, stopping to look out the window.For a week, she let her mind wander and her heart rest for a while. Personal space helps clear any blockages in her mind. The fog began to gradually dissipate, and she could almost breathe normally again. Her chest is not too heavy.All that w

"Why do you want to be my mother now? Why should I call you mother, when you're not there for me or for Hodja, why?" Bitterness filled Vivian's heart. "I don't even know you. Jaime has considered you his biological mother for half his life, more so than Hodja and I. So how do I call you mother?"Vivian's eyebrows furrowed as she looked toward her mother for an answer, but she said nothing. Breathing out a light breath, Vivian turned away to wipe away her tears."If you were there when Hodja almost died twice, I would have knelt and admitted my mistake." Vivian declared. "But you weren't there. Others can proudly say that their mothers raised them well, but Hodja and I couldn't have that happiness. I raised him in your place. I also support myself. We never lived like other people. Waking up to my mother's breakfast, we never had that breakfast.""If I could go back in time, I want to experience that once. I missed that so much that when I finally ate your food, it just made me angry a

Everything would have gone according to Jaime's plan perfectly if he hadn't mentioned her mother. Vivian's blood boiled. She doesn't want to listen. She doesn't want to.Pulling the blanket over her head, she tried to fall asleep.The next morning, she woke up to the smell of delicious food. Jaime was cooking in the kitchen. "Come and eat quickly." He said as she walked in from the bathroom.They ate quietly like strangers. That's so sad. They had come so far, having been together for less than two years apart. Their relationship is so fragile that even the slightest touch will shatter it.Stealthily glancing at Jaime, Vivian found that she didn't know what to say. Is it her fault that they are like this? Because she was too stubborn, too stubborn because she had been in the dark for too long?Because she can't come to terms with her feelings for Jaime or admit them out loud?Is cowardice driving her life so she doesn't want to hear anything from him?That's right, it's her fault, she

Everything was hazy in memory, the argument two years ago had fatefully ended what they had. Remembering why Vivian left him is an even bigger task than plotting to get her back.Jaime leaned forward and ruffled his hair with both hands, frustration evident. Was it the heat of the moment that made Vivian pack her suitcase that night?He can't remember. What he remembered after watching Vivian leave was standing here in this room with anger welling up in a way he had never felt before.He doesn't care if she comes back or not. Jaime regrets that. He should care, because that's what means the most to him right now.That night if he had chased Vivian right after she left, maybe they wouldn't be here constantly arguing. Raising his head from his hands, he thought. Once she left, it seemed like she had no plans to return.He ate lunch and dinner in solitude hoping Vivian would return to eat with him, even if they ate in silence better than without her.If he hadn't rushed to talk to her th

When Vivian returned, she walked into the bathroom, Jaime knew that she would be stiff with anger despite the wonderful night they had had. It's better to give her some space to blow things up, like his mother suggested.Closing his eyes to return to dreamland, he prayed that Vivian would not leave him again.After cleaning up the messy clothes scattered on the floor, he took a shower and walked out. There were no plans for today, so he didn't know what Vivian would do. Mrs. Maggie and Juke have not returned from their trip yet, only the two of them are at home.Since meeting Vivian again after two years, he's begun to learn about her temperament, adapting to it, to a degree he never had when they first knew each other.When angry, she will bite and fight back easily, making him nervous or, most annoyingly, ignoring him. Today she will be angry because he won't let her continue last night's unfinished story.Jaime couldn't figure out how he was going to fight her. He just knew they ne

His excitement increased when he felt that Vivian temporarily stopped resisting. Quickly pulling down her shirt, he smelled her scent and kissed her shoulder. He had been waiting for this.The joy that Vivian kept for him for two years. She owes him. All he could think about was carrying her to bed and claiming her as his own.Retrieving her wet lips, he inserted his tongue into her mouth, groping until his fingers rested on her thighs. He caressed her white calves, pulling her forward to get even closer.Jaime desired her slowly. He wanted to taste every part of her to be reminded of her innocence. The girl's embarrassment about undressing in front of him swept across his mind. He'd be damned if he let her get away after tonight.Releasing her lips, Jaime breathed into her mouth, their lips barely brushing each other. His whole body was aroused, he was using all his energy to satisfy his desire. Turning off the light, he picked her up and walked towards the bed.Vivian's body is attr
