How was I supposed to react to such news?I sat still, the crowd murmured as they walked out of the court. Damon was at the corner with our lawyer settling him.The judge and everyone had left but i still sat there, unmoving. My lips in a thin line and my hair still in its perfection. I noticed a red head in the mist of the people leaving the court. The person looked familiar but i was to tired to care.I grabbed the glass of water that was placed on the table and gulped it down. The water had a strange taste but I was too weak to be bothered about it.I squeezed my hands in a fist. The zeal to leave the seat overpowered me and I stood up. But it was the worst mistake I made.I held on to the chair for balance, the world around me became blurry, the voices and sounds became distant.I tired to move forward but I ended up falling to the ground. I turned around and looked at the glass ceilings. The glass glowed brightly and I smiled.I heard sweet whispers and flutters of kisses on my f
I walked out of her little space and walked to Mason. He brought out his hands for me to hold and I ignored it."I'm not living here with a night dress right?" I asked her and she smiled."Yes you are, cause I forgot to get you clothes," She grinned and I face palmed."Thank you for taking care of her," He said to Maddie.We walked out of the house. I thought it was an aparment. The entire enclosure outside was filled with dry leafs. We walked to his care but then i remembered I wasn't with my phoneI didn't bother to tell him where I was going to and I rushed back to the door. I rang the bell and she answered."At this rate my door bell is screaming in despair," She said."I left my phone here," I walked towards the direction of the room.She watched as I turned the covers and searched the under the bed for my phone."Why are you standing come help me search for it," I said and she grabbed it out of her pocket."Here," She handed it to me and I rolled my eyes at her.Maddie's smile w
Red lights, blue lights. Drugs and alcohol.Intoxicating soul piercing songs, songs that could make you high without taking anything. The people around me had no idea what was happening.They danced on each other and sniffed up the powdered liquid into their noses. There was a pole in the middle of the room and some of the girls got on them and danced on it.They were funny clothed. The bass of the sound emitter made the entire house vibrate.It lokked like the everyday party they always had back at the party. A part of me was going to miss it.I wore a short white skirt and a padded cropped top to go with it. I added a transparent high heel and my hair hung on my neck.Felicia followed behind me with a gown that merely covered her thighs and her back was open. She placed her hair in a quick pony tail.We made it across to the VIP room. We showed the card up to the bouncers and they let us in.I saw him on a brown fur chair his features looked sharp. He had a couple of girls surrounde
Luckily the room had no fire detectors.I managed to find petrol in his room. Which was somewhat strange.I poured it all over his body and I lit up a flame. Before the fire would have spread his body would remain nothing but bones."A man like him shouldn't be buried, he should be cremated," Damon said before he dragged me out of the place.The hotel has not yet realised that their boss has kicked the bucket.I could see the hate in Felicia's eyes as Damon linked his hands with mine. It was an habit of his that I got used to.He knew about my anxiety so he held me to calm me down.I agree changed back into my jumpsuit and I removed the excessive makeup. We stopped few lanes away from Mason's house."You have only two months, two months and I want that billionaire dead, I need you back in the Mansion," His voice went back to its usual coldness."I'll call you on the next job," He said and I nodded."Erm Damon," I called.I reached for the phone in my legs and I handed it to him."I a
I fought with all my might, I managed to slap off the handkerchief and I turned to see a masked man or woman. I saw a streak of his blonde hair and I tried to drag but he was strong.While struggling, I tried to reach for my gun but I felt dizzy, I blinked as my vision blurred, everything around me became double, I still tried to fight, see a face at least but i was zoning out. It felt like the car was levitating, My struggling became weaker by the seconds until finally i lost my consciousness.I opened my eyes and i saw myself inside Mason's room. He sat beside me as he stared at me. He caressed my hands and his eyes were closed. He leaned on the wall beside the bed.I sat up immediately and I stared at him, he let go of my hands and I heard him breathe a sigh of relief."You are awake," He said and I glanced around to check for my knife."What the fuck happened?" I asked. I knew he had a hand in this. He probably didn't want me to leave. So he hired someone to knock me out unconsci
It was a picture of Gustavo, Katy and I at the bar the other time. The other one was of us at the burial. Then one of them when I was escaping the hotel I killed Rufus Malky at.My entire body got filled with fear but I tried not to panic in front of Damon. The new found fear reminded me of the day the doctors told me I was about to give birth."Don't be scared, no one can lay a finger on you, not even your ex husband," He said and i saw the rage in eyes.Underneath the pictures was an address, then followed by a picture of the place. It reminded me of a certain club but i couldn't put a finger on which."Tropic Arabian themed club," I said loud as I stared at the screen.Another message popped up and he said to bring the girl along if she wanted to see the next day.I clutched to the phone as I tried to hid my panic attack. I took deep breathes.Even from the way Damon spoke, it seemed he was in a lower rank when it came to the man in question.He grabbed his phone and made a call.I
I got confused on whether he wanted us both of only me.The stress was evident on his Damon's face as he ran his hands in his hair."Shit!" He cussed as he kicked the table besides him. He scratched his hair viciously as he paced.Damon was not the type to express what was troubling him. He still had his shirt on. One a normal day he would have pulled it away if the stress was intense. I still wondered what his problem was with clothes.He was vulnerable at this point."We have to go there sooner or later, or I could go on Alone," I said."Go alone? This is not the normal snipping jobs I give you to handle. You will get killed if you step a foot out side, I don't think I should bring you along still it's too dangerous," His sense of responsibility kicked in as he raised voice at me.I didnt feel offended i knew he was stressed.I glared at him and I laid on the bed. He walked out the room and I grabbed my phone.I received a message from Katy, she took a picture of herself in the hospi
The look he carried in his eyes made my heart skip a beat. I managed to reach up and hold up his hands. I placed the phone back on the table.I didn't care if he tried to punish me later, this was for the well being of the entire clan and he knew it.He locked his eyes with mine and I couldn't move away. The tension between us was stronger than a magnetic force. I looked away but he grabbed me hands and made me face him."I don't like this feeling," He said."What feeling?" I asked confused.He paused before he bit on his lower lip, he looked up at me."The feeling of being powerless, I can't do anything, to protect the Mansion," He said before he let go of my hands.I didn't know what to say to him. Even my comfort was not going to help him. I stared at him as he occasionally ran his hands in his hair and pulled on his lips.The phone binged again and I pulled away, I walked over and grabbed the phone."It's almost time!" the man texted back.I could almost feel the excitement in the
EPILOGUE.VIVIAN~I heard the echoes of laughter coming from the parlour an I smiled cause I knew who it was my little babies disturbing their father. I walked in and Asher ran towards me. "Mommy!" He said with powdery face. His sister was in the same condition. Patches of powder were on their father's body had patches of powder all over his hands. Damon walked over to me and and he pressed his lips unto mine. "Ugh get a room!" Asher yelled before he ran away. Kyra crawled on the floor and tried to put the little toys that Asher was playing with inside her eyes. I carried her from the floor and she giggled as she saw me. She had icy blue eyes just like mine. I handed the baby to him and he took her. "We should go out and site see we have been waiting for you to arrive, Maddie and Rosa have been calling me for the past hours," He said and I pulled off the gray coat and I dusted off the snow flakes that clunged to it.It was two degree Celsius here in paris. The holiday season is cl
WEDDING BELLSVIVIAN~Vivian Colbert was having her second wedding and hopefully, her last. I stood in front of the full length mirror band I gazed at my appearance. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. "Okay, time for the bride," I heard Maddie say before she walked in. I was still in my night dress. The wedding gown was hung on the wall beside the wardrobe. The wedding was holding in the Martinez Vila. Everyone from the underground family were against this wedding but Grandfather finally accepted it. Now we had to also make them accept the wedding. We had no idea how but we still went on anyways. "Aww, you are glowing already!" Maddie squealed as she saw my reflection in the mirror. "Come on let's get on with this," I said and she laughed. "Rosa!" She yelled."Coming!" I heard a muffled voice from the other side of the room. She walked in and her now red hair laid softly on her back. Her eyes glowed as some particles of food were still stuck to her mouth. "You are always s
CUSTODYVIVIAN~I watched as Mason placed his hands on my child, I moved him aside and Asher came to head besides my legs. "I don't like this man," He said as he hid terrified they would take him a ay from his parents. "Nobody will take you away, you are with me forever," I said to Asher and he went on to Damon. "You told me the child died, what is he still doing a live?" He asked and I rolled my eyes. "Well, it's a miracle he survived and he is alive," I said to him before I tried to make way for myself. "If you don't tell me what is going on I will take matter's to court and you would have no choice but to let go of me," He said and I chuckled. He didn't even have time for his own family, i didn't think he would be interested in what was going on. "Why wouldn't he care for me? He loves both Asher and I," I defended him and he chuckled. Damon came forth from where he was standing, he stood close to me with Asher still in his hands. "Is there a problem?" He asked and I nodded
EX HUSBANDDAMON ~It's been days since we lost Harry. Vivian had been devasted for the past two weeks but she would be fine soon. She went out on a mission. The bond between she and Asher had become better after Harry's death. The bastard's death bought about something new. If only she knew. The bastard didn't have her good interest in his mind. He was planning the worst for her. I always wondered why he cooperated so well with Felicia. I still had issues with the underground family, they didn't want me to marry Vivian, they wanted me to have nothing to do with her. I heaved a sigh as I placed the glass of coffee down. The interoffice phone rang and I picked it up. "Peter is coming into your office," My secretary rose said as she picked the call. "Okay, don't let anyone get in," I said to her before the line went dead. The door opened and Peter stepped in with a bandage on his head. I stood up immediately as I sighted the wound on his face. "What happened to you?" I asked a
SWEET KISSESVIVIAN~I placed my hands on my nose as I entered the chamber room. I knew if he truly killed harry he would place him in the same room as Felicia. I stopped in front of what was once a Living soul. Her his was nothing but skeletons with different insects habiting within her. I stopped breathing for a second when I remembered how her body was. I shook my head slightly and moved away from her skeleton. I moved my phone's light to the other side of the room but I saw nothing. I decided to check in the inner chamber. I saw thorn pieces of clothes everywhere on the floor. My heart was refusing to believe he was the one. It seemed like Damon was bluffing. I knew he couldn't kill harry. He was our best member. Then I saw it, laying on the ground. I dropped my phone as I rushed to him. He was still breathing! Tears welled in my eyes as I saw him on the floor. I dragged him out of the torture chamber and I called the ambulance. We lied that it was a fatal accident. They to
VIVIAN~I stepped out of my apartment after I ordered an Uber. Immediately I got in with some of my things. I knew I wasn't coming ng back here one I stepped my legs into his office. I directed him to the mansion and I took another Uber to his work place. I didn't have the time to take my car when I left because I knew he was going to find a way to track it down. The driver would find his way when he gets to the Mansion. I told him to say he was sent by miss Colbert. I arrived in front of the building and some of the workers that could recognize who I was greeted me. I saw the man that tried to pay me off meeting Damon."I forgot about you, I will remind Damon," I said and I felt the heavy hands of a grown man on my feet. "Please don't do this to me, I have a wife and children at home. Waiting for me," He begged and we both knew it was a lie. "Your wife is a highly paid journalist and your first daughter is a model, I think you would be fine," I said. I got the information after
VIVIAN~Harry and the nana have been more than enough help during this past week. After I left that office, I saw no.need to face tht world. I felt a surge of tiredness and. I was ready to give up and stop. I gave myself a vacation, I broke my sim cards and I left crystal city. I was now at the border of two cities. I loved that fact that the nana didn't rat out my location to Damon. She came here to tell me about him. Asher my son. But she refused to bring him to me. She said it was too dangerous. Last I heard from Harry. He said Damon was on a hunt for me. His men have searched earth and everything but nothing. I made sure I withdrew enough money to take me for the time being before I found out what to do to my life. At the end I was still grateful, he pushed my motherhood a little further. Maybe if I still had the child I would have gone back to Mason, out of the stress of taking care of a new born. It was obvious Damon would not let me take care if my child in the mafia hous
DAMON~"You're still making excuses you are not telling me in full details what happened before and after," Vivian said as she rose from her chair. "Listen to me, I will explain how it came to he, it's not that hard to understand, anyone that heres this will know I ma not at fault here," I said to her. " I had been looking after the bot for the past few years, he had been in my care. I didn't want to leave him in your care Vivian, you were to weak to even move your feet properly, you were sick and tired. How would you be able to take care of a little baby?" I asked her and she remained silent."All this while, where has he been staying?" She asked as she sniffed. "He has been staying in another country with his nana, I believe you guys have met," I said and she nodded. "She used to work for Mason and then afte a while she started skipping until I never saw her again, she did tell me she was going to go to san Fransisco, she had a relative there," She recounted. "I visited him ti
VIVIAN~"Please you can't barge in on him that way," The receptionist pleaded with me. "I don't care if he is another meeting with someone else get me inside that office right now!" I yelled and I saw as she was terrified. If I kept on talking she was going to pee on her body. "Please let me ask if you should come along," She begged me but I was having none of it. I pushed her aside and I made my way up the staircase, I heard as they yelled and screamed at me to please be patient but I refused to listen to them. I took the stairs to the last floor. I couldn't risk taking the elevator. They could decide to shut the lights. I moved to the last floor not feeling the exhaustion and from climbing a ten story building. I pulled the door and it was shut from the outside. I pulled a pin from my hair and I unlocked the door. I met some of the workers from down stairs already up. "Please ma'am, you are risking our job here, if it is money he owes you, I will pay it without any hesitation
