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
“Debbie?”Debbie stood up from bed after she saw Alan. She was staring at him but didn't exactly know what to say to him. As she was about to lower her head in disappointment, that was when Alan rushed towards her and embraced her.“I miss you so much, Debbie!”. Alan continued to hug her as he said. What shocked Kelly was the minute she saw Alan crying. “What?”. She was so stunned because she had not expected a scary looking man like Alan to be crying like a baby. She wanted to stand up, unfortunately, she had no choice but to refrain from doing that because she had stressed her injured leg when she stubbornly went to make food for Debbie, despite the way the chefs had pleaded for her to step aside. “I- I missed you too”. Debbie cried out, before Alan stopped hugging her and held her hands. Alan had a guilty expression on his face as he stared at Debbie's eyes and apologised to her, “I’m truly sorry for blaming you all these years. I should never have doubted you for even a second”
Alastair drove all the way to Mr Brooks' mansion with an angry look on his face. Because the front of his car had the Alvarez logo attached to it, the security guard of Mr Brooks' mansion opened the gates for him without delay. Alastair drove into the mansion before he got out of the car. He had a piercing look in his golden eyes as he stared at the building in front of him. “Brooks! Get out of here this instant!”. Alastair yelled. His blood was boiling with insane anger because he was anxious and worried about Kelly. Since Mr Brooks didn't come out of his mansion, Alastair decided to storm in. But before he could enter the building in front of him, one of the security guards who happened to be sweating on his forehead approached him and said, “Mr Brooks is not around, Mr Alvarez”. “He's not around?”. Alastair muttered, and his eyes darkened, as he became even more suspicious of Mr Brooks. ‘Could he be at his company?’. He wondered. ‘But come to think of it, how did Mr
Vivianne was able to recognise the doctor because he was wearing his doctor's uniform. She was also able to recognise Ray, causing her eyes to darken as she glared at him. “You. I know you. You are one of Mr Brooks’ men who attacked Kelly and I before”. Barrett was staring at Ray, but after hearing what his little sister said, he glared at Ray. He demanded an answer, “You attacked my little sister? How dare you?!”. “Doctor, can you explain to me what's going on right now? Who's that guy standing next to you?”. Garrett asked him after he had started glaring at Ray. ‘This guy doesn't seem like an ordinary person’. He thought to himself because of the way Ray was dressed and had an aura of authority surrounding him. Before the doctor could say anything, Ray walked towards them and introduced himself, “I'm Detective Ray. I came here as soon as I could after confirming that you three siblings were in this hospital. And Vivianne, I'm sorry for what happened between us before. I was
Shark had arrived with Mr Brooks in the uncompleted building.He got confused and halted after he saw one of his comrades unconscious on the dusty ground. “What happened here?”. He muttered, as he continued to be confused. Out of curiosity, he went ahead and bent down, before he placed two fingers beneath his unconscious comrade’s nose. He sighed in relief after he confirmed that his comrade was still alive. After standing up and turning to Mr Brooks who was behind him, Shark said to him, “He's alive. No need to panic. I'll figure out what's going on”. “You had better figure out what's going on. I didn't come all the way here to waste my precious time. Where's your boss? And where’s the girl I told you guys to capture for me?”. Mr Brooks demanded an answer. He was quite impatient. “Like I've said, Mr Brooks, I'll figure out what's going on. Just give me some time”. “Fine. I'll give you only ten minutes. Find out what's going on. In the meantime, I'm leaving this place. Whatever ha
The mother and daughter spent many minutes crying and cuddling each other. It was later on that they both stopped crying and settled down on the bed. Kelly rested her head on her mother's lap. It had been long since she last experienced the love of having a mother in her life. “Mommy, there's something important I must tell you about. Would you mind hearing me out?”.“Of course, my sweetie. You can tell me about it. I will gladly listen to you”. Debbie assured Kelly, and was gently patting her head in the process.“Mom, I've already discovered that Mr Brooks is not my father. Actually, I've met my real father, Mr Alan. I was living in his mansion before I was kidnapped by the men Mr Brooks had hired”. Kelly explained to Debbie, who gasped in disbelief. Debbie quickly lifted Kelly's head, which was resting on her lap. She began staring at Kelly but didn't know what to say because she was currently speechless. As if Kelly knew what her mother wanted to ask her, she smiled and said, “
“What do you mean Kelly is in trouble, Alastair? Did anything happen to her?”. Vivianne asked him. “When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. And now that I've seen that she's not in the hospital with you, it could only mean one thing”. Alastair paused, talking. Suspense filled the air before he continued saying, “Kelly must be in trouble! I have to find her before it's too late!”. “Wa- wait, wait, Alastair. Why do you assume that Kelly is in trouble? You can't jump into conclusions like this, simply because you don't know Kelly's whereabouts”. Vivianne said to him. She tried to stand up, but couldn't, because an IV was inside her vein. The minute Garrett noticed that Vivianne was about to remove the IV, he rushed and stopped her, by holding her hand. “Don't be reckless, Vivianne. Always think about your health first before you ever act”. He frowned as he said to her. Vivianne sighed. She shifted her attention back to Alastair afterward. Alasta
Warnings: This chapter contains violence and death.Location, An uncompleted building that was located in a remote village. Five men gathered around the lady who was asleep. Their eyes were piercing as they stared at her. They were angry, because the person who had hired them for this job had not yet arrived. “Boss, should we continue to wait for him? We should sell her if he doesn't show up and pay us for the job”. One of the men, who tied a red bandana around his head, suggested. He was the most impatient one among all of them. The eldest man, who happened to be holding a gun, frowned. He was the boss that the guy with the red bandana was talking to. His name was Gunnar, and he was very muscular compared to his lower comrades. Gunnar replied to him, “Be patient, Shark. If that man doesn't show up in the next 15 minutes, I'll make sure that this young lady suffers beyond anyone's imagination. One way or the other, it's going to be fun for us”. The other men agreed with what the
Alastair went ahead to look for Kelly. It wasn't a serious search at first, but after many minutes had passed, and he had not seen Kelly, he began to panic gradually. Alastair's panicking got worse after he couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. It was almost as if she suddenly disappeared. He returned inside the mansion in a hurry and went to meet butler Robert, who was busy taking care of the household affairs. Butler Robert, who was carefully going through the list in his hand, had to stop what he was doing because of Alastair. Alastair was standing in front of him and was breathing heavily, as if he had run a marathon. “Bu- butler Robert, are you really sure you didn't see Kelly this morning? I can't find her anywhere in the house!”. Alastair said to him without delay. “Isn't lady Kelly in her room, young master Alastair?”. Butler Robert asked him. “Of course she's not in her room, butler Robert. I've searched everywhere, but I couldn't find her”. Alastair re
The hospital, Last night, after Kelly had left the hospital with Alastair, Barrett and Garrett returned to their mansion. They arranged the whole place and took their showers, before they returned to the hospital this morning. Barrett and Garrett were both sitting on the sofa that was positioned next to the window. Garrett, who was looking more worried than Barrett, suddenly asked, “Big twin, why hasn't Vivianne woken …” He couldn't finish talking because Barrett exclaimed. “She's waking up!”. Barrett pointed a finger at Vivianne and exclaimed, as he couldn't hold back his excitement. Immediately, Barrett and Garrett stood up from the sofa at the same time. They hurried to Vivianne's side, and their eyes sparkled the instant Vivianne stared at both of them. “Bro- brothers? What are you guys doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in China by now?”. Vivianne's voice was gentle and calm as she asked Barrett and Garrett. She examined her surroundings, before she asked them again, “W
