Vivian POV"You should let her stay Max" I said as I trailed behind Max carefully, putting a good distant between us. He halted, turned to face me with a cold expression as I also stopped on my steps." I choose who stays or not Vivian""But she can stay, I'll leave after a month after all and she'll be of great help to you, besides she's pregnant with your baby" I calloused and a glint of anger passed through his eyes but he masked it just immediately it came."Are you trying hit a nerve Vivian?" He asked " Whatever it is you're doing is definitely working and it wouldn't be so good to continue this conversation" He turned and walked away, to avoid getting further annoyed.But then, why was it irking him nowadays? He was very eager, excited and happy to live with Ruth? What had changed within those days? I was discarded, called a piece of trash because of her, hated and my feelings not reciprocated for three good years, served divorce papers right in her bedroom after sex and now, he
Vivian POVBefore I could even finish my statements, tears gushed down my eyes like a river. I couldn't even hold down my emotions any longer. I had been so scared, utterly terrified that something might have happened to him only for him to be this nonchalant.I whirled around to rush out but he grabbed me into his embrace and held me still, the droplets of water that trickled down from his hair dropped on my face, colliding with my tears." And for the second time, you hit me again Vivian" He whispered to my face and I glared at him. Why does he act so arrogant?"You're always getting away with it, and ruining my handsome face don't you think?" He asked with a smug look on his face. The closeness of our body made me weak as I tried to grapple through my own body weakness or the weakness he actually gave me."Let go of me Max" I say, pushing him away but he held on firmly, pulling me more closer to his chest." What if I punish you a little for hitting me wifey? Earlier, you feigned t
Vivian POV My eyes raced through the multitudes of people that swam together outside, each holding either a journal or a camera hung around their neck, their stance seemed like people ready to pounce anything on sight, anything at all that could fill their tales. The sight seemed somehow funny as I made a slight cackle, staring down at a woman that was trying to pass through the crowd but couldn't as the newscasters wouldn't even let her, they had probably blocked every access that led inside the hospital and I could swear that if not for the tight security in the hospital, they would have swam in like bees. I watched them for a while before retiring to the hospital bed, my mind suddenly drifted to Max. Where could he have gone to again? I just hope nothing bad happens to him. No matter how much I hated him, I still wouldn't be able to bear the weight of something happening to Max. He was my babydaddy after all. My thoughts rolled through the good times, when I worked as Max's s
Vivian POV Max strode in, interrupting our conversation and carrying a small bag that contained what I didn't know exactly. His brows creased in surprise on seeing his father as he dropped the bag on the bed beside me, turning to his father with a questioning lokk "What are you doing here father? I mean how are you even here?" He asked and Mr Norman smiled and stood up up. "Max is already here dear Vivian, I'll leave you both" He said, ignoring Max's question and advanced towards the door but he halted on his tracks, his hands stilling on the doorknob as he whirled around for a final glance. "Take care of her Max and make sure Tim runs another test on her, I think something's not right" He then turned and strode out and Max's gaze shifted towards me. "What does he mean? Tim didn't run the test properly?" He demanded in a sharp intense tone. " No, that's not it. Doctor Tim already did his job but your father believes that he didn't run it properly since I'm getting fainting
Vivian POV The questions had caught me of guard as I sat still, pondering on the words to use and reply him. "I_ I... Damn it Max! I don't know what to say" I replied, feeling frustrated. " Say anything from anywhere Vivian, I want answers to all the questions" He looked at me sternly, his expression chilly. "The answer to the last question is a "no" I am not pregnant Max and, I don't plan to be and will never be" I answered, glancing sideways as not to meet his solemn gaze. " And the other question" I said, rolling my eyes " I didn't discuss much with Daniel Browns, he only said he came to see someone in the hospital before we stumbled upon each other and gracious goodness, he recognized me." I explained, a smile creeping the corners of my lips as I remembered the scene " He also asked about you but that was the time you interrupted, nothing more and nothing less" I added, feeling a slight breeze envelope my skin as I turned to lie back on the bed. "Amd the other question
Vivian POV "You're insane Max.....Completely crazy"I bellowed, trying to make out meaning out of his words but in a blink, I was pinned to the bed under his body as he slammed his lips on mine in a rough kiss. It was yearning, he didn't seem to be ending anytime soon. His hands moved upto my boobs as he caressed them softly. Fuck! I lost it and just when I was about responding to it, he broke the kiss and I moved his hair back, trying to get a clear view of his face. His eyes seemed dark and lusting, angry, raging and someone who seemed to have been played all along. But then, I hadn't played him right? " And yes, I'm insane" He said amidst the daze, the tension between us was heated and even though I wasn't feeling fine, it seemed like I had been rigged off all my sickness, our body was hot against each other, the desires plummeting to the highest and the atmosphere was giving off the lustful vibes. I cocked my head closer to him, a confused expression crossed my face. I di
3RD Person POV Vivian smiled, for a moment their gazes locked onto each other as the words rolled off her lips unknowingly. "Fuck me Max" Max pulled her up on top of him gently, making her sit on top of his waist just a little above his erect dick but she pushed back, grinding against his cock and he shuddered at the feeling, his member touching her wet core made another surge of urges course through him. He held her waist firmly to his own but Vivian was reluctant to stay steady, she was grinding against his cock, the base rubbing directly on her clit and Max moaned. "Fuck! Vivian- Fuck!" He groaned as her ass moved down and forth his powerful thighs. Her hands rested on his chest, supporting her weight as the pleasurable friction that glossed her core increased. It felt so fucking good, so good that she wasn't ready to stop anytime soon. Her body was already overcame with lust, need, want. She desired every part of her body to be explored by him, every inch of him buried i
Vivian POVThud.... Thud.... Thud.Beep... Beep... Beep.One... Two.... Three, I snapped my eyes open, the intensity of the sun shone brightly on my face as I turn to face the other side of the wall.Inhaling a bit of fresh air that penetrates through the window, my legs instantly hit a table and I wince in pain.Lazily trying to sit up, the memories come flooding in my mind. Glancing around the room, I realize it isn't mine but somewhere else.Oh I remember now, I was in a hospital, Max and I had a well heated hot round of super sex, not minding that I was terribly feeling ill. It wasn't his fault after all, I had forced him to do it.Just then, the door opened and Max walked in, a worried expression on his face."Vivian.. Damn it, I thought I might have hurt you. I'm sorr_" He coughed, halting on his words as he realized what he was about to say.Max was a proud Man, a very proud Man that wouldn't even stoop low to apologizing to anyone let alone me." I thought you were about sayi
Vivian POV"Do you want to share?" I asked but she shook her head in denial, flashing a warning smile at me."No, not now Vee" She replied, her gaze shifted to her fingers as she fiddled with them. I studied her for a moment, realizing that all these while I had wished to be like Sofia had been a terrible wish because it wasn't actually well with her.Truly, Don't judge a book by its cover. Even as an established woman, a renowned lawyer in the city, Sofia still seemed like someone who was a shadow of herself but always put on a facade that made it look like everything was perfect for her."You know, I would press further if you don't feel okay telling me, I'll wait. I know you also have your reasons" I said in a reassuring tone, not wanting to make her feel bad."And lest I forget Sofia" I called and she turned to look at me again " You said something about my Mom and Mr Norman, can you tell me what it is, the relationship they hold and also how do you even know all these despite the
Vivian POVHi dear readers, I made a correction in this chapter, it's actually revealed a few things and I've also made an edits on the previous chapters and it will be modified on Monday.Thanks for reading.Sofia's words drummed relentlessly! " Max's Mom died on the same day, in the same car and at the same time""That accident took place on a rainy day, they were good friends just like us Vivian. They were even four" She added and I flinched, my lips hung open with utter shock."Sofia, you aren't making up things right? This might just be a coincidence__""It's no damn coincidence Vivian!" The cut in sharply before I could finish. "It's no coincidence in the same car, and to talk of the fact they were friends!" She continued."Have you asked your Mom if she's ever been in contact with Max's Father?" Sofia asked and in that moment, I feared that everything she was saying might actually turn out to be the truth."And why do you ask that?""Because your Mom knows a lot Vivian, I think
Vivian POVI turned sharply to leave but before i could even take a step out, he pulled me back and I stumbled on my feet and fell on his chest.Fuck! I cursed inwardly as I immediately scrambled away from his body, not liking the feelings that coursed through me."I'm- I'm sorry, I didn't want to inconvenience you" He quickly apologized as I arranged my dress."It's fine Daniel, I would just step out" I answered, forcing a smile on my face."You don't have to. I can actually be the one to leave if you're uncomfortable, please pardon me" He added, turned around and left. I watched his back Ashe walked back to Sofia who seemed to be selecting another dress entirely.What is all these? I felt confused in my head. Things was getting complicated and I don't even understand my own thoughts and feelings any more.My mind instantly went back to Max.'He should be alright? He hadn't returned neither had he called. He's alright Vivian, just calm yourself' I assured myself in my head, silently
VIVIAN POV"Daniel Browns?" I called in shock as I stared at the woman beside him none other than my best friend Sofia." Vivian?" Sofia called, shock evident in her face. So Sofia's secret husband all these while had been Daniel Browns? Was that why he seemed casual with me at the hospital? This was a devastating surprise indeed! Countless times, I had asked Sofia to reveal her husband maybe a picture would do but she was keen and Stern on showing his identity, saying that it was better left unknown to me and I wondered why she had said that."Daniel Browns is your husband? The hide and seek all these while is him Sofia?" I couldn't help but ask. She shrugged, pressing her lips thinly to each other as if suddenly wanting to hide."Wow Sofia! Just wow!" I exclaimed, shaking my head in light wonder."Vivian, I can explain okay. We should go over there and I'll tell you the reason" She said, her expression riling with guilt as she looked down, unable to meet my own gaze."What is there
3rd person POV[Ruth~] This is a foreshadowing point of view. Ruth smiled and slid in her phone inside her pockets. "I have been too lenient on everyone, they won't know what hit them by the time I'm done" She muttered under her breath and sighed. A thought crossed her mind. 'She needed to see him' Ruth didn't hesitate another moment before she dashed inside the house and came back with her handbag. She should definitely go enjoy herself with him while she waited for Good News! She walked out of the mansion and headed straight to the main road before a cab pulled off in front of her and she got in, her mind fully enveloped with intense happiness. ' What had she been doing all these while when the easier way was there? ' Max would surely be hers finally! *** "Then, why are you calling me Mistress?" Ruth asked the one question that had been bothering her thoughts since she came into Ryan's house he had rented for their secret joint and meeting, confusion etched on her
Ruth POVI paced worriedly about the room, Max's words an unending surge of storm in me. He had blatantly refused me, the Max who wouldn't bear to see me get hurt was slowly slipping away from my hands and I watched it happen.The sound of the cracking opening of the door jolted me up from my fleet of thoughts. Hannah came in and walked towards me with a smile." What news?" I questioned closely."Don't worry my dear, you'll soon have Max in your hands." She replied as she sat down on the bed." I do not trust your words lightly Hannah, it's either you help me have Max or I'll tell. You know my lips are always open" I said with a hinge of threat in my tone."Are you threatening me now Ruth? I am helping you and you should be grateful for it!" She barked back."Then be sure that help would come out positively, if not, I'll tell the world the truth about you and Daniel" I replied and leaned closer to her face " How would it feel when the world learns of your deceit? How would it feel wh
Vivian POVMax drove into the left corner of a road that seemed not so crowded with people and pulled to a stop.He brought out cell phone and dialed number "Frank, where are you? Trace my location right now and come down this instant" He ordered and cut off the line and immediately pushed the door open and came down to my side." Vivian, I would need you to go in there and wait" He said, pointing towards a luxury store at the end of the opposite road as he pulled open the car for me and I stepped down, my eyes filled with horror."What's going on Max? Who are those people?" I couldn't help but ask yet in the next fleeting seconds, Max pulled me by the hands and we walked over the road into the luxury store."Here" He said, bringing out a black card from his pockets and handed it over to me. "Pick whatever you want and make sure to while away time here, for hours maybe until I come back, you know the passcode""But Max_""Listen Vivian" He cut me off " We're being attacked right now
Vivian POV"Sir_""I would love you to run a test on my wife, she's showing signs of pregnancy and I want to confirm" His words rang straight across the, Doctor's office, shutting the middle aged old man up completely, for a second, he was stunned by Max's shout out of order and if Max wasn't someone so powerful, I guess the man would have excused us instead, his eyes Shone fear and submission.Poor man. What could he possibly do against arrogant Max Norman. But right now, my priority problem was the fact that by crook or by book, somehow, after the tests, Max would definitely know the truth.Wasn't it high time I escaped? Wasn't it time I ran away from this hellhole before I'm exposed? But then, thinking about it alone gave me a feeling of doubt, doubt that etched heavily on my heart for no cause. A part of me was against the idea of leaving, escaping and running away, especially when the one month deal is yet to be expired. Somehow, how I conflicted with my feelings these days leave
Vivian POVFew hours later, I was discharged but Max's words was a ringing Bell in my ears, I couldn't get his voice, that Fierce and determined look on his eyes earlier from my head_ he had meant every word he said." Here Vivian, you're forgetting it already" He called behind me as he handed over the diamond Stoned necklace to me as we strode out of the hospital. From a side glance, I assured Doctor Tim that I was fine as he seemed to have become worked up about my discharge.We got out of the hospital as Max led me to sit at the back of the car while he got in front and drove off. Now, thinking about it, he hadn't used any of his guards recently."Where are we going to Max?" I asked as he accelerated faster, not sparing me a glance. "To AGC" His reply came shortly and my heart skipped."AGC? You're joking right" I bemused, disliking the whole idea of everything that has been happening."Why? You don't like it there?" He chuckled, as he instantly took a peek at my horrific face fro
