Vivianne's bedroom, Vivianne had been lying on her bed for a while now, and was also thinking about what Kelly had said to her. “What does Kelly's words mean?”. Vivianne muttered as she rose from her bed and continued to think. It didn't reach a minute, and Vivianne ruffled her hair because she didn't understand either Kelly or her words. “Ha. Kelly has a twisted personality. I really want to tell Barrett and Garrett about her, but I should just leave it be at the moment”. Vivianne admitted before she went ahead and took her cell phone from the bed. Vivianne checked the time on the phone and saw that it was already 9pm. “Why haven't Barrett and Garrett returned home?”. She wrapped her hands on her chest and questioned herself. After that, she tossed her cell phone on the sofa. Vivianne wanted to wait for her twin brothers’ arrival, but she was feeling too sleepy to do so. In the end, she laid on her bed and slept off. Kendrick's mansion, Kendrick was alone in his bed
Brianna remained inside the kitchen and continued talking to herself for a while. Later on, she came to a firm conclusion, “I can't tell Kendrick about what my father did. At least not yet, until the right time”. After concluding, Brianna returned to Harry's bedroom, as she intended to continue sleeping. ..... The moment Vivianne opened her eyes, it was already morning. Using the back of her hand, Vivianne rubbed her eyes, as she then rose from the bed and stood on her two feet. “I must have fallen asleep last night when I was waiting for Barrett and Garrett's arrival. I better go check if they're back already”. Vivianne adjusted her pyjamas after saying this. In no time, she came out of her bedroom and went to Barrett and Garrett's bedrooms’ corridor. Actually, Barrett and Garrett's bedrooms were almost close to each other. Now that Vivianne had arrived in Barrett and Garrett's bedrooms' corridor, she was about to knock on their doors, but before she could, both doors su
The time was 4pm when Vivianne suddenly decided to leave the mansion and go out on a walk. Vivianne honestly wanted Kelly to come along with her, but since she knew that it'd be risky for Kelly to follow her, she left by herself. Few minutes later, Vivianne's gloomy face from before had already brightened with genuine happiness. Honestly, she was really enjoying her walk around Phoenix city. Additionally, she loved the way everything had developed, compared to five years ago. Vivianne was still busy touring around the city when she suddenly heard an ice cream tune. “Wait, that's definitely an ice cream cart over there, right? I love ice cream! I can't even remember the last time I had one”. Vivianne exclaimed before she instantly ran to the ice cream cart. Vivianne waited in the long queue until it was finally her turn to purchase an ice cream. Vivianne demanded for a strawberry flavoured ice cream, which was later given to her by the ice cream man. There was an empty be
Kelly returned to the living room with the bowl of neat water Vivianne ordered her to bring. After she gave the bowl to Vivianne, she bent down and was staring at the unconscious guy's face with total curiosity. “Vivianne, aren't you wondering why he got shot? What if he's actually a bad and dangerous guy?”. Vivianne stopped cleaning the unconscious guy's face, after hearing what Kelly said to her. To be honest, even Vivianne didn't understand why he got shot. She doesn't even know whether he's a dangerous guy or not. “Let's just leave all our imaginations to fate, Kelly”. Vivianne simply replied, without looking at Kelly's face. In no time, she soaked her handkerchief inside the bowl of neat water, and after the handkerchief got wet enough, she took it out and used it to clean the unconscious guy's bloody leg. It took Vivianne a while, but she finished cleaning the blood, and she also put medicine on the injured leg. After that, she took out bandages from the first-aid box
It was already 7am in the morning. Vivianne was the first person who woke up from sleep because of the way she was feeling so uneasy and unsettled. “Since I'm awake, I might as well go and visit my injured guest”. After saying these words to herself, Vivianne nodded her head in agreement, before she left Barrett's bedroom and went to her own bedroom. After Vivianne arrived inside her room, she became extra cautious as she walked towards the large blue bed. Just a few seconds later, Vivianne arrived at the bedside, but the unconscious guy who had an injured leg, was nowhere to be found. “Wh- where did he go?”. She nervously swallowed the invisible lump on her throat, as she questioned herself. Vivianne was still nervously staring at the bed, when a strong muscular hand suddenly reached out and touched her shoulder. “Argh!!!”. Vivianne shouted loudly and also fell on the bed because of fright. It took her a while, but she eventually regained herself and rose from the bed i
In less than 20 minutes, Billy, Charlie and the 6 men arrived outside the Beckham mansion. This caused Billy to be surprised, because he never imagined that their boss Axel would be inside the Beckham mansion. Turning to face Charlie, Billy said to him, “Charlie, is your tracking device actually broken? Because, how can our boss Axel be inside the Beckham mansion?”. “Stop asking me silly questions, Billy”. Charlie wrapped his hands on his chest, before he replied to Billy with a frown on his face. After seeing the frowning look on Charlie's face, Billy pouted his lips in annoyance. Later on, he ordered, “Scale the walls, men!”. Immediately after Billy's order, the 6 men leaped over the walls without any difficulties. Meanwhile, Charlie and Billy stared at each other with piercing gaze, before they also leaped over the walls and entered the mansion's premises. Inside the mansion, the living room, Vivianne had already finished eating breakfast, and ever since then, she'd be
“Don't be so surprised, Kelly. If we begin our training sessions at the boxing centre, it'd improve our courage and we'd also become stronger. In that way, we'd be able to defend ourselves at any moment. And if you get stronger, you won't have to worry a lot about your father”. Vivianne explained. Vivianne's explanation made absolute sense to Kelly, who was already finding the boxing centre quite interesting. Yes, Kelly would really love to get stronger, so that she could always defend herself against her scheming father!. “I'm in, Vivianne!”. With sparkling eyes, Kelly announced. “That's the spirit, Kelly! Our boxing sessions will begin by tomorrow, and at 7am everyday. But until then, we have to go to my Z-company right now and study a lot. My Z-company specialises in investments and game development, and I have very little experience”. “Noted. I'll go and prepare immediately”. Kelly quickly said, before she rushed to her room. Vivianne too left for her room, and as she entered
Raquel arrived inside her bedroom and was greatly surprised to see how the whole place was neat and arranged. She turned behind her and saw Aurora, who also entered the bedroom with her. “Ha, I can't believe I'm finally back in Phoenix city”. Raquel went and sat on her bed as she said to Aurora, who later joined her on the bed. “You have to believe it, Raquel. I really missed you so much”. Aurora admitted with a bright smile. She was so happy that she ended up hugging Raquel and refused to let her go.The hug lasted for a while, until Raquel forcefully rose from the bed and escaped from Aurora. “Come on, Raquel. Let me hug you more. I really missed you”. “I'm absolutely going to suffocate if you continue hugging me, Aurora. You're so clingy and adorable! I can't even believe you're already 26 years old!”. Raquel's hands were wrapped on her chest when she said this to Aurora, who pouted her lips in disbelief afterward. “Tsk. I already know that I'm cute and adorable, Raquel. Thoug
Beatrice parked the car outside the hospital as they arrived. They all got out of the car, before Barrett and Garrett led the way. One of the nurses saw the two new faces who were about to enter Vivianne's ward. She wanted to stop them and ask questions, but later decided not to because she trusted Barrett and Garrett, who were with them. As they finally entered Vivianne's ward, Pearl’s eyes coincidentally darted to the bed. There, she saw her daughter, Vivianne, who was asleep at the moment. “Anne. My precious Anne”. Pearl muttered as she approached the bedside. She carefully sat on the bed as she didn't want to wake Vivianne, who was sound asleep. Pearl's eyes were filled with love and tears as she watched her daughter. The last time she saw Vivianne, Vivianne was a little girl. But now, things have changed. Vivianne was now a fully grown-up lady. And despite these great changes, she easily recognised her as her daughter. Vivianne's face was not pale, causing Pearl to feel at
Mr Hart’s mansion,Theodore was inside one of the guest rooms. He was standing, the same as Raquel, who was making sure that the room was in order. A smile was on his face as he stared at Raquel. “Raquel, I have told you, Aurora and your mother countless times, it's not that late. I can return to my hotel room”. “Don’t argue with me, Theodore. I'm older than you, and I know better. Stay here tonight, and tomorrow, you and I can go to your father's company and prevent those greedy shareholders from taking over the company”. Raquel scolded him. “We're the same age”. Raquel turned to Theodore upon hearing what he said to her. She said, “I'm a month older than you. So, logically speaking, it counts. I'm older”. Theodore quietly nodded at Raquel because he didn't want him and her to start arguing with each other. “Good. Now, goodnight and sleep tight”. Raquel patted Theodore's shoulder and said this to him, before she turned to the exit door and began to leave the room. “Wait, Raq
Barrett and Garrett had to look at each other because of the dangerous aura their mother was emitting. Without any doubt, they came to the conclusion that Vivianne and their mother had similar characteristics. “Mother, please calm down. Don't get angry too much. Mr Brooks has already been caught and punished. He would spend the rest of his life behind bars until he dies”. Garrett assured her. “But what does that change, Garry? Him spending his remaining life in jail doesn't mean your father and grandparents will ever come back to life”. Pearl said to him, before she stood up. She started pacing back and forth as she ran her fingers through her hair.After she stopped pacing back and forth, she asked, “You said your father's body hasn't been found, right? So I believe he is not dead. He's probably alive somewhere. I am going to find him no matter what! Anyway, where is your sister? Why don't I see her?”. Garrett breathed out in relief upon seeing that Pearl had calmed down. He ans
“Everyone, let's quickly go inside the mansion”. After they stopped hugging, Barrett said to them. He opened the gate using its remote, before he collected the sports car key from Garrett and went and entered the car. As Barrett drove into the mansion, Garrett, Pearl, including Beatrice, who had decided not to leave, entered the mansion.The gate was locked by Barrett after he had gotten out of the car. “Please, mom, follow me inside the house. Have you eaten dinner?”. Barrett asked her. “No. She has not eaten anything yet. She didn't even eat lunch”. Beatrice replied to Barrett on behalf of Pearl, who had almost replied to Barrett.“Who…?”. Barrett asked. It was now that he and Garrett noticed the unfamiliar face, Beatrice. Beatrice paused when she saw how Barrett and Garrett were staring at her with suspicious eyes. “Oh”. She reacted after she understood why they were staring at her. She introduced herself, “I am Doctor Beatrice. I'm the owner of Beatrice's hospital, which is lo
It was evening and Barrett and Garrett left the hospital. They were returning home as they wanted to take their baths. Their bodies were itching them, since their last bath was last night. Garrett was the one who was driving the red sports car, because last night, Barrett was the one who drove. …..Pearl and Beatrice had been waiting outside the mansion's gates ever since the moment they arrived, as Pearl was serious about not leaving.‘I’m so tired and hungry. I haven't eaten lunch or dinner. My stomach is currently angry at me’. Beatrice thought to herself while she kept a poker face. She couldn't let Pearl see that she was exhausted. After waiting for 10 more minutes, Beatrice gave up. She stopped squatting on the ground and stood up. She extended her right hand towards Pearl, who was squatting and said to her, “Please, Lady Pearl, let's return to the hotel. You haven't eaten for hours. That's not good for your health. Let's return so that I can examine your health”. “No. I'm
“Axel?”. Theodore muttered and walked towards him. With doubt in his heart, he asked, “How did you know I was going to come here by this exact time? Is that the reason why you stood here and were waiting for me?”. “Don't be so surprised, cousin”. Axel said. He removed his hands which were in his trousers' pockets before he added, “Aurora called me last night and told me that you had returned to Phoenix City. She also told me that you were going to come to the mansion today. And I know you, cousin. I knew you would come here by this time. That was why I left my condo and arrived at the mansion earlier than you, and ordered the security guard beforehand to let you in when you arrive”. Theodore chuckled, because to him, Axel sounded unbelievable. He had a puzzled look on his face as he curiously asked, “So you did all that for what? Simply to see my face or what? Am I so special?”. “Of course not, cousin. You're not special. I only came here to tell you not to cry”. Theodore furrowed
Brianna ran to her car and was panting fast. “Mother, please you have to listen to me. Everything that my father has done seriously has nothing to do with me! I truly love my husband so much”. She pleaded and tears were pouring out of her eyes, but that only made Lucy get angrier at her. “Get away from here before I do what I'll regret, Brianna! Just get away from here!”. Lucy warned her. “Mother, please listen to me. Remember that you always used to listen to me. But why not now?”. Brianna felt her voice cracking as she said to Lucy while crying. Her throat was in deep pain because she was mentally and emotionally broken and hurt.“Just go away from here, Brianna. I'm angry. I'm sure you already know what I can do when I get angry”. Lucy said to her. She glared at Brianna, before she turned her back against her and returned to the house, leaving Brianna outside. After Lucy left, Brianna rested her back on the car and used it as her support as she slowly sat on the ground. “It- why
12pm,“Lady Pearl, I am now aware of the location of the Beckham family’s new mansion”. Beatrice announced, and a drop of tear escaped from Pearl’s eyes. “Are you telling me the truth?”. “I would never lie to you, Lady Pearl”. Beatrice promised her with a smile on her face. Some hours ago,“My family…. I have twin boys. Their names are Barry and Garry. But my father-in-law loves to call them Barrett and Garrett. Also, my last child’s name is Vivianne, and my husband's name is…” After Pearl told Beatrice about everything she remembered concerning the Beckham family, Beatrice immediately started to call several people. Some of those people whom Beatrice called reside in Phoenix City, so she was certain that they must have an idea about where the Beckham family were currently living. Out of all the people Beatrice had asked, only one of them knew about the Beckham family she was talking about.“Are you sure you know about the Beckham family I'm talking about?”. Beatrice asked the
“Stop pretending to be hurt, Brianna. I know you're just pretending to be hurt, so that you'll gain my sympathy”. Kendrick glared at her and said to her. With the way Brianna was trembling, he thought that she was acting.Brianna opened her mouth and tried to say something. Unfortunately, her voice was nowhere to be found. “I have loved you, Brianna. I married you even after you spiked my drink. But you repaid me with your betrayal. I thought I knew you. I guess I was wrong. I never for once knew the real you”. He said to her.. And after he had turned his back against her, he added, “I hope your father suffers in jail or gets a death sentence. He deserves that for killing Vivianne's family”. Kendrick hissed, before he walked away and was heading upstairs to his room. “Ah”. Brianna whimpered. She was sitting on the floor, before she laid on the floor and continued to whimper. ‘What did I do wrong to deserve this ill-treatment from the one I love?’. She thought to herself as tears co
