After Vivian woke up, she kept silent when everyone was talking to her and asking her about how she is feeling, all she was thinking about was Louis.“Vivian…” Kian whispered to her, but Louis just went silent she didn't say anything.Ryan on the other hand was happy at the same time sad“Louis is dead… she is gone” Vivian murmured silently, while Kian's face fell, he didnt know how to comfort her at that moment.“I told you to let her stay here” Vivian added crying, and suddenly stood up “I want to go home” Kian held her “Hold on Vivian you arent strong enough to go home yet, just wait for some days at the hospital so you can get enough treatment” He said to her as he held and pulled her back to the bed, but Vivian pushed him back.“Where is Louis's body?” She asked her voice barely above a whisper“Her.. b.. her body has been buried by the Mancini family” Ryan said her voice shaking Vivian gazed at him “Why should it be like that?” She asked as tears began to roll down her cheek“
VIVIANI stood in front of my art piece, Anticipation taking the best of me.The gallery was filled with people,their hushed conversations and murmurs kept seeming into my earsToday is one of the best day of my life..if not the best. ,I've never felt so fulfilled, happy and filled with so much life. This art piece is my life,my work of three months. I've dedicated my time and my heart into making itI gazed at my installation- a canvas of torn fabric,broken chains and splattered paint. I felt so proud and vulnerable. This was my declaration of independence,my refusal to be bound by the chains of conformity.The crowd began to disperse,and a group of art critics and collectors gathered around my installation,their keen eyes assessing each details of the pieceMy anxiety grew up. I knew this was the moment,the moment I've been waiting for my whole life. My chance to make a name for myself,a name that is not Everhart.The fist person that stepped forward was James.He's a popular critic
VIVIANI glanced at my car,parked in the driveway,and for a moment,the temptation to flee in the familiar comfort of its embrace was almost overwhelming but my pride repelled against the idea,I wouldn't use anything my father had given me. Not now,not after what he said.I knew my father said that statement thinking I'd change my mind but no,I'm never going backWith a heavy heart, I hailed a cab and gave the driver my best friend Vera's address. I had nowhere else to go, no one else to turn to. Vera had always been my rock, my confidante. She would understand. She would take me in and help me pick up the pieces of my shattered life.As the cab stopped in front of Vera's apartment building, I paid the driver and got out. I trudged up the stairs, feeling like I was walking to my own execution. My legs felt heavy, my feet dragging on the ground as I approached her door and knocked,there was no answerI frowned, confusion gnawing at the edges of my mind.She couldn't have gone anywhere,t
KIANI sat at my desk, sipping my coffee and gazing out the window at the city skyline, my mind focused on the upcoming business deal with the Forsythes.Suddenly, my phone rang, shattering the silence. I groaned as I reached for it, knowing exactly who it was. My grandfather's name flashed on the screen, and I hesitated for a moment before answering."Kian, we need to talk"He said, his voice firm and commanding.I sighed, rubbing my temples. "What is it, Grandfather? I'm busy.""Busy?"He repeated, his voice laced with disapproval."You're always busy, Kian. But this can't wait. You need to get married. You're 30 years old, and you still haven't settled down with a suitable wife."I rolled my eyes, feeling a surge of frustration."I've heard this before, Grandfather, and my answer is still no. I'm not going to marry some woman just to please you and the family. I have my own life to live.""Your own life?"He repeated, his voice cold and menacing. "You're a Blackwood, Kian. You ha
VIVIANIf someone had told me just days ago that I'd be disowned by my father, the man who was supposed to love and support me unconditionally, I would have brutally disagreed. And if they had also told me that the two people I trusted most in this world, my best friend and my confidant, would betray me in the worst possible way, I would have thought they were crazy. But life has a way of proving us wrong, and now here I am, standing in front of a stranger who has just asked me to marry him."Wait..what?"I blinked continuously trying to process his words."I want you to marry me Vivian"He repeated,his eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made me quiver"Now you're definitely crazy"I burst into another round of laughter""I want you to marry me for a year and in return, I'll find your art career. I'll give you everything you need to succeed -studio space,materials, connection, everythingHe said,his voice calm and collected.Someone remind me to not get drunk again. How mu
KIAN AND VIVIAN KIANI watched Vivian keenly as she spoke, her beauty captivating me more than the previous night or morning. Her dress clung to her curves perfectly, accentuating her figure.Ohh Kian,you seriously aren't thinking about this"But I have my terms" She said, her hands twitching nervously."What are those?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowed in curiosity."On the condition that we depict the perfect couple's life only in public" She began, her words spilling out rapidly."But while indoors, you stay clear of me. No attachment, none of those loyalty shits. I can do whatever I want or be with whoever I want to be with."I scoffed, surprised by her audacity. Did she really think I wanted to be with her?"Deal, it is then" I concluded, and she quickly stood up from her seat."Uhm...Vivian" I called, reaching for her hand, but she yanked it away.Funny"I might not have included this, but you don't get to touch me either." She cooed,her gaze unwaveringI
AIDENAiden came just in time during Kian and Vivian’s love confession.“Hi beautiful, how are you doing, “he said as stretching his hands for a handshake towards Vivian.Vivian seemed surprised because Kian never informed her about anybody named Aiden in the family. She looked at Aiden and greeted him.Aiden faced Kian “ Did you not tell your girlfriend you had a uncle ?” he asked facing Kian.Grandfather Edward dropped his newspaper and folded it back on the table taking his cup of coffee into his mouth.“ Aiden! Why are you here?” He asked.Aiden chuckled “ My being here is a disturbance to the latest couples ?” he asked.Vivian smiled looking at Kian in confusion then she whispered into his ears “ Why didn’t you tell me you had an uncle?”.Kian looked at Vivian and could not say a word, Kian and Aiden has been a competitor for years.“ Hi uncle, well this is Vivian, my girlfriend” he said as he touched Vivian’s hands so she wouldn’t be scared.Aiden sits properly and smiled “ Fina
MARTHA AND KIANTrouble fumes like a wide air in the house as Kian fumed in anger when he went over to his mom’s room after escorting Vivian back into her room.Kian opened the door room without knocking and faced his mom.Martha sighed and dropped her cloths back on bed “ Have some manners Kian, I thought you well didnt I?” she asked.“Well you did, no doubt" he replied so terribly.Martha looked up to her son from the bed she was sitting on “ Okay so what’s the problem?” she asked looking at Kian in anger.“ Well I birthed you, I know what is right for you and what is not right for you, can you just listen and accept whatever I say for once ?”. She said begging Kian.Kian smiled in an angry manner looking very stressed with his mom’s actions about his decision ever he was a kid.“ I guess you dont, all you ever think about is yourself grandfather already accepted Vivian so what is it to you?” he asked pointing at the door .Martha moved towards her mirror and grabbed her phone “ so
