5 years later,
The airport was as busy as ever. There were many travellers who arrived in the city, plus, there were also many travellers who were leaving the city. A certain private plane arrived at the airport, at exactly 1pm. After the private plane landed, the door was opened and the stairs were spread out. Vivianne, who was wearing a yellow leather jacket with a black trouser– came down from the private plane through the stairs. As she descended the stairs, the aura that surrounded her was bright and charming!. Plus, she was more beautiful than ever. Five years ago, Vivianne’s face was pale because of how depressed she was. But now, her face was as bright as ever!. Her brown hair grew even longer, and her figure, including her face, was more matured. As soon as Vivianne finished descending from the private plane’s stairs, she ran to meet her twin brothers who were already waiting for her. “Big brothers!”. Vivianne called out as she hugged both Barrett and Garrett. “Little sister”. Garrett called out, as he hugged Vivianne too. To cut the long story short, 5 years ago after Vivianne's accident, Barrett and Garrett later discovered how Vivianne was actually their little sister. Actually, the main reason for that was because– they recovered their childhood memories. Though, up till now, they still haven't figured out who eliminated their family. Plus, 5 years ago, they sent Vivianne to Los Angeles. Their main aim was to let the doctors over there– treat her, so that all her memories would fully come back. But anyway, only a few memories came back to Vivianne. The other memories were history. “Big brothers, after 5 years, I've finally returned to Phoenix city!”. Vivianne was so excited– that it caused her to hug Barrett and Garrett, even more. It didn't take that long, and they separated from the hug. Looking at Vivianne’s face, Barrett felt his heart beating really fast. To be exact, Vivianne looked a lot like their Mom!. “Welcome back, little sister. Garrett and I really missed you”. Barrett said with a warm captivating smile. Vivianne definitely heard what Barrett had said, so she frowned her face and pouted her lips as she admitted, “Tsk, you and Garret missed me. But you guys refused my offer when I pleaded for you to visit me in Los Angeles”. Barrett cleared his throat before saying, “Honestly speaking, for the past 5 years, we'd been working so hard in our company. Garrett and I wanted to grow our selfmade company before your return”. “So, how is the progress going?”. Vivianne was curious, so she asked. “Let's just say, our company's progress was so successful– that we even ended up buying a popular company for you”. Garrett suddenly announced, and a bright smile appeared on his handsome v-shaped face. “Wait, what?!”. Vivianne was so surprised that she exclaimed in total disbelief. “Last week was your 27th birthday, little sis. Garrett and I didn't celebrate your birthday then because we had something bigger in our minds”. “After our self made company made trillions of dollars as net worth, Garrett and I bought a popular company for you, as your birthday gift. So right now, you're that new company's Chairman, and the highest shareholder”. Barrett finished explaining, and also smiled at Vivianne, after seeing the disbelief look in her face. “No way!”. Vivianne exclaimed once more, before hot tears rushed out from her eyes. Barrett and Garrett panicked, after seeing the way their little sister was crying. “What's wrong, little sis? Did we say anything wrong to you?”. Barrett immediately asked Vivianne, who shook her head at him. “Bro- brothers, you didn't do anything wrong to me. I was just so happy that I ended up crying. Honestly speaking, my emotions reacted on their own because I felt strangely hurt”. Vivianne cleaned the tears in her eyes as she explained. “You felt hurt? But why, little sis?”. Garrett didn't quite understand and asked. “I don't know. But maybe, I was treated badly in the past by whoever I was living with back then. So now that you two did this special thing for me, I felt really emotional and touched”. Vivianne explained once more. Barrett felt that something was indeed off, so he asked, “Do you think that someone hurt you in the past, before you actually lost some of your memories?”. “Yes, big brother. I have these strong feelings that I was hurt by someone in the past. Sometimes I even have nightmares”. Vivianne immediately replied, causing Barrett to sigh deeply. “Don't worry about the past, little sis. I'm actually glad you lost part of your memories– in that case, the person who hurt you in the past, won't be in your heart anymore”. Barrett announced. Vivianne and Garrett agreed to what Barrett had said. Barrett, Garrett and Vivianne didn't stay long in the airport again. They went and entered Barrett's car, after which Barrett drove off to their mansion. Kendrick's mansion, The mansion was almost as it was, 5 years ago. But the difference was that, most of the surroundings, including the inside, were redecorated. Not only that, there was now a child living in the mansion. “Harry, don't run. You might fall and injure yourself”. Brianna sweetly warned her son, before she ran to him and carried him in her arms. “You silly brat. You're only 4 and a half years old, but you already know how to run and make me worry”. Brianna jokingly said, as she played with Harry's little nose and black hair. “Ma-ma”. Harry said to Brianna in his baby's voice, which wasn't that clear to hear. “Now you know that I'm your mother. Tsk, stop giving me headaches, Harry”. Brianna announced as she walked inside the mansion with him. Upon arriving inside the living room, Brianna met with her husband, Kendrick. Kendrick was as handsome and tall as ever. His handsome face was aloof to look at. Plus, he was not only tall, but was also muscular. Additionally, he had black hair which was like the night, and dark eyes. “Harry, my son”. Kendrick said, and a slight smile appeared on his aloof face when he noticed how eagerly Harry wanted him– to carry him. Kendrick went ahead and carried Harry from Brianna's arm. Soon he simply added, “Hurry up, Brianna. We are going to visit the family mansion with our son”. “Em, sure”. Brianna sweetly replied, before hurrying upstairs– to their bedroom.Brianna dressed as fast as she could, so that she wouldn't waste Kendrick's time. She was wearing a black designer gown which was reaching her knees. Plus, she wore black heels and also put on the gown’s jacket. Before Brianna left the bedroom, she wore her blonde hair into a bun. Soon after, Brianna hurried to the living room, and a loving smile appeared on her face as she watched how the father and son were bonding with each other. Brianna remained standing at the corner of the stairs. When Kendrick's eyes eventually met with Brianna, she definitely approached him. “I'm done dressing, hubby”. Brianna proudly said. Kendrick simply nodded his head at Brianna, before he rose up from the sofa he was sitting on. He took Harry with him outside, and as he arrived outside, he gave Harry to Brianna, so that he could fully focus on driving. After seeing the car Kendrick decided to drive, Brianna joined him, and sat in the front passenger seat with Harry in her laps. In no t
Vivianne entered the mansion with her big brothers. Upon arriving in the living room, she was amazed because of how the place was beautifully decorated. The size of the living room was grand. Not only that, five sofas, including a swing sofa, were arranged accordingly in the living room. Vivianne was so excited because of the living room, that she ended up planning to take a tour of the mansion later on. Barrett, who was ahead, coincidentally turned behind and saw the way Vivianne's pair of brown eyes were sparkling with delight. He stopped walking and even confronted Vivianne, before he said to her, “You're already loving the mansion?”. “Uh-huh. And after lunch, I'll definitely take a tour of the mansion”. Vivianne admitted without a slight hesitation. “Alright, little sis. Enjoy your day today. Because after tomorrow, you might actually become really busy with work”. Barrett announced, surprising Vivianne because she didn't quite understand his point. Garrett saw the
“Kelly! Come and join your family for lunch!”. Kelly was in the kitchen eating when she heard Vivianne's loud voice calling her. She kept her plate of food on the counter and left the kitchen for the dining room. “Kel-!”. Vivianne was in the process of calling Kelly's name again, but she halted, when Kelly suddenly showed up in the dining room. “Oh, you're here already, Kelly. Have a seat beside me”. Vivianne said to Kelly with a smile. Kelly was stunned because she didn't understand what was going on. In fact, she hesitated to sit down, but since Vivianne urged her to, she later sat down next to Vivianne. Even after sitting down, Kelly's heart was strangely beating so fast. And because of how nervous she was, she wasn't able to look at Vivianne's face, or even the twins' faces. Vivianne clearly noticed the way Kelly was feeling nervous. So she held Kelly's hands and patted them. “It’s alright, Kelly. I called you over for lunch. From now on, you're free to join us in th
Vivianne had already taken her bath and was now in the process of wearing the black gown she chose from her wardrobe. Before Vivianne wore the black gown which was on the bed, she went and stood in front of her wall mirror, and was drying her wet hair with the hair dryer which she was holding in her hand. It took a while, but Vivianne's hair finally dried. And at the same minute, she went and took the black gown from her bed. “How gorgeous and stylish you are”. Vivianne complimented the gown, and was also busy admiring it. Anyway, she later wore the black gown and returned to the wall mirror– to check herself out. Staring at the image which was reflected in the mirror, Vivianne was indeed satisfied, because the black long-gown fitted her perfectly. And even though the gown was black, it was shining bright like the night stars– because of the diamonds it was designed with. Vivianne also styled her hair later on. “It's show time”. Vivianne muttered with satisfaction, as s
“We last saw each other five years ago? But I don't even know you or them”. Vivianne admitted with her hands wrapped on her chest. After hearing what Vivianne had said, Brianna, Lucy, and Victor almost ended up laughing, because they actually thought that Vivianne was pretending not to know them anymore. After all, they treated her so badly in the past. “Vivianne, everything that happened in the past was just a tough misunderstanding, and we can't change any of that. But you pretending not to know us, is clearly not cool”. “Don't you agree, Vivianne?”. Brianna purposely added. “What are you even babbling about, young lady?”. Vivianne frowned her face at Brianna as she questioned her. Honestly, everything Brianna was saying was not making any sense to her. “Enough pretending, Vivianne. Don't attack Brianna because of your jealousy. I know that you still have a grudge against Brianna because my son divorced you and married her five years ago. But you should know that your marria
After listening to Garrett's question, Vivianne tried her best to remember Kendrick, but no matter how much she tried and struggled, she just couldn't remember him. “My memories concerning Kendrick are just blank, big brother Garrett. I can't remember anything about him”. Vivianne admitted. “It's alright, little sis. It's even best if you don't remember him at all”. Garrett assured her. “The Harrington family mistreated you badly in the past. Do you want me to return the favour to them, Vivianne?”. Barrett clenched his fists when he said to Vivianne. “Leave them be, brother. As long as the Harrington family behaves themselves and does not scheme against me, I won't involve myself with them”. Vivianne concluded, and in the same minute, she left the banquet hall with her brothers. The next day, It was already 8am in the morning, and of course, Vivianne was awake and had dressed herself up. She wore a white gown which had a golden belt attached to the waist. Seeing that there wa
‘What's his problem?! What the heck is this guy's problem?!’. Vivianne shouted in her mind and had already started the engine of her car, since she was planning to drive away as soon as she could. Vivianne's hands were already on the steering wheel, but she couldn't drive the car because Kendrick was standing in the way. “Vivianne!”. After hearing the way Kendrick called her name with his deep voice, Vivianne shivered in fear. In fact, her hands started shivering and were too weak to drive the car. “I- I have to call my big brothers to come and save me from this dangerous man”. Vivianne said to herself, as she then took her cell phone from where she kept it. Immediately after Vivianne took her cell phone, it fell out of her hand, and when she picked it up, it had turned off. Vivianne tried to switch on her cell phone, but it wasn't working, no matter how she tried. “Gosh!”. She gritted her teeth in annoyance and tossed the cell phone on the back seat. “Who the heck i
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
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
