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
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
“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
