VIVIAN AND KIAN"It's already past 10," I said, glancing at my wristwatch.Kian nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. "I can take you home," he said, his voice low and husky.I waved my hand, rejecting his offer. "No, it's okay," I said, trying to sound casual. "i came here with my car."Kian raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. "Are you sure you can drive alone tonight?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.I nodded, feeling a sense of independence wash over me. "Yes, I'm positive, I can." I said, trying to sound firm.Kian sighed, his shoulders sagging in defeat. "Okay, let me walk you out then," he said, his voice soft and silent.I smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards him. "Okay, thanks. Aren’t you also going home?" I said, my voice barely above a whisper.As we walked out of there, Kian’s hand brushed against mine, sending shivers down my spine. I felt a sense of electricity between us, a sense of attraction that I couldn't ignore.We stood outside the building
“I should leave Kian” I said as I made sounds with my key.“You coming to the mansion tomorrow right” he askedI looked back and nodded .“How about I come pick you up?” He saidI smiled “You dont have to worry, I will be there” I said as I turned away, I stepped in my far and drove off.I wondered what would happen at the mansion tomorrow.But amidst all the uncertainty, one thing was clear: I had to prepare myself for the battle ahead. I had to steel myself from Martha and Mira, who would stop at nothing to destroy me.I took a deep breath, feeling a surge of determination course through my veins. I would not let them win. I would not let them break me.As I pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on the road ahead. I had to be strong, for myself and for my future.As I reached home, i breathe because I looked so tired and exhaustedI dropped my bag on the table and went to the wine bar and grabbed a drink.I poured myself a drink and drank it all, my heart was full of sadness as I do n
VIVIANAs I reached the blackwood mansion, it looks so new to me and I miss the scent of the garden and the mansion, the house is very huge and it’s one one the largest mansions in the world.I drove in and I saw different huge cars packed in front, I knew something big was going to happen, as I stepped out from the car I saw some ladies in black uniform welcoming everyone.“Welcome Miss Vivian we have been expecting you ma’am ” They all said aloud and bowedWith a smile I accepted their greetings turns out Kian already cleared the way for me because I am sure Martha and Mira will do everything to try to stop me from entering the mansion and I was led inside by the girls.As I walked my heels made sounds, clicking on the tiles as the sound echoed through everyone’s ears, breaking the silence it was a sharp distinct sound that demanded attention, as I entered the main meeting hall, everyone’s eyes was on me. Martha’s eyes locked onto mine as I took the step forward.I bowed and one of
VIVIANI could sense the weight of expectation in the room. They were all waiting for me to say no, to reject the inheritance and walk away. But I flashed back to the memories of how they had treated me, like a nobody, a mere afterthought. The way they had belittled me, made me feel small and insignificant.But then I remembered Grandfather Edward, the one person who had always been truthful to me, who had always made me feel seen and heard. And I knew that I had to honor his wishes.The room erupted into chaos, with gasps and exclamations filling the air. Martha's face turned red with rage, while Mira looked like she had been punched in the gut.Wait you can't be serious!" Martha shouted, her voice echoing off the walls.But I just smiled, a sense of triumph and vindication washing over me. "I'm completely serious, I am definitely not joking about my answer" I said, my voice steady. "Grandfather Edward wanted me to have this, and I'm going to make sure his wishes are respected”.The
VIVIAN’S POVIt’s a wonderful day today and I know the blackwood mansion is a living hell now. Everyone doesn’t seem satisfied “I am in bigger danger” i said to myself with a wide smile on my face like I fear nothing.Then I heard my phone ring, Kian’s name popped out on it, I wonder what he has to say .“H... hi..” he stammered“Hey Kian” I said my voice clear and cool.“Well I called to ask if you home and I wanted to discuss to you about something” he said slowly his voice barely above a whisper.I knew it was about the will.“I am all ears Kian” i said.“I knew my grandfather knows what he was doing when he wrote his will and I am satisfied with everything, but I just hope you have mercy on my mother and Mira, allow them stay in the mansion” he said, his voice slow and silentI smiled “I have no intention of making anybody leave, well I think I should break down the surprise to you. I am coming back into the mansion tomorrow, I know I dont belong there but at this point there is n
VIVIAN POVIt was a cold morning, the kind that made you want to wrap yourself in a warm blanket and never let go. But as I stepped outside, I was greeted by a sight that took my breath away. Everything looked so bright and silent, as if the world was holding its breath in anticipation of a new day.The sky was a brilliant blue, with just a hint of pink on the horizon. The trees stood tall and still, their leaves rustling softly in the gentle breeze. The air was crisp and clean, with a hint of sweetness that I couldn't quite place.I took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill my lungs, and smiled. I wished it was always this cool, this peaceful. A morning like this made me want to slow down, to savor every moment, to appreciate the beauty of the world around me.As I walked through the garden, I noticed the dew-kissed flowers, their petals glistening like diamonds in the morning light. The grass was soft and green, inviting me to take a seat and stay awhile. I did, sitting down on
VIVIAN POVAfter my conversation with my dad, I walked back downstairs after I dropped the black card. I heard the door bell ring and I wondered who it might be.As I walked towards the door, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. Who could be visiting me early this morning. I opened the door, and my heart skipped a beat as I saw Julian standing there, his piercing blue eyes gazing into mine.I breathed in deeply, trying to calm my racing heart. Julian was the last person I expected to see, especially after our last encounter. We had parted ways on uncertain terms, and I wasn't sure if he was here to make amends or stir up more trouble."Julian," I said, trying to sound casual despite the butterflies in my stomach."Hey," he replied, his voice low and smooth. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."I shook my head, feeling a sense of trepidation. "No, it's fine. What brings you here?"Julian stepped inside, his eyes scanning the room as if searching
I made my my way straight to the lawyers office, I was welcomed properly and led inside. She looked at me and welcomed me with a smile, I hope the lawyer and Martha aren’t working together, I hope my instinctions are wrong.“Welcome miss Vivian” she said her smile bright.I smiled “I am sorry to bother you, I am here to accept and sign everything that was given to me by grandfather Edward”.She leaned back in her chair, rolling her pen with a little smirk on her face.“Everything?” She askedI noddedShe gazed at me, with the little smirk on her face, I wonder what was wrong.“You are not the type to be interested in all that, why do you want to accept it If I may ask” she saidI smiled and adjusted my chair, leaning forward to her on the table“Do I have to explain why? Did he also tell you to ask us why we are going to accept what he gave us?”.She laughed aloud and brought out some papers, I glanced through it all and could see it was a real paper regarding my ownership of everythi
