(Vivienne)"D...do you know how happy I am to see you"I couldn't hold back my excitement or refrain from shedding tears when I saw Cassy. It was like some part of me had been restored. She was so dear to me like an older sister. I cared about her just as she cared about me and seeing her again brought back so many memories. The days we spent laughing. Gossiping about work and an arrogant boss and the times we cried because we both thought the universe hated us. There was no genuine love, no good family for us. We had each other even through bad times. I missed her more than anything, both of us were crying like fools despite being grown-ups, and when I moved backCassy chuckled as she wiped tears from her face and I did the same. It was great to see her. She looked the same but completely different. Her skin was a little lighter than before. She had lost a little more weight than the last time I saw her and her brown hair was cut in a bob style. It wasn't long like before and she look
Victor sat in his chair as he watched Leo act like a teenager. Of all things he didn't expect Leo to be so happy to the point where he popped bottles of champagne at the same to e and started drinking in celebration"Will you stop making my office dirty, "Victor said with a glare that drilled holes if it could. Leo was too thrilled to even pay attention to what his friend was saying because he didn't care. His heart was in immense joy. After reading what was written in the file, he couldn't help but feel like he was on top of the world. Everything was blissful all he wanted was to run out of Victor's office and embrace Vivie unfortunately he was stopped by Victor from doing that"Stop it already...or do you want me to throw you out!"Victor made a low yell slamming his hand heavily on the desk and only his angry voice got Leo's attention as he stopped dancing and drinking and turned to look at his friend"What's up bro in law...it does sound super, doesn't it... BROTHER IN LAW" Leo sai
"Umm, I...I don't get it?"Alexis stammered with uncertainty, Maverick was apologizing to her. She never expected him to say sorry so easily. As much as things were awkward between them. She too wanted to apologize for being so rude. He was older than her and deserved some respect on her part but how on Earth was she to ignore the feeling she got from him. His gaze made her feel something strongly. Something she only felt for one man which was why she decided to keep her distance from the doctor"It wasn't right and very unprofessional of me to act the way I did... Ms. Crawley, find it in your heart to forgive me"Maverick, CK said softly after some time and Alexis was even more guilty...hearing his soft low yet the deep masculine voice was something she preferred not to think about. Maverick knew apologizing to her was a good start. He didn't know where to begin to explain himself when the woman before her was the same girl he thought he didn't want in the past. He had his reasons for
(Vivienne)"Morning sunshine?" like an alarm clock I heard someone shout in a cheerful voice. I wanted to react or get up unfortunately the man holding me in his arms tightened his grip around me...I relaxed as I snuggled more into his solid warm chest"It's the rise and shine...come on get up" this time the person's voice was accurate and it was Leo who said and soon I sensed as he walked around and I heard the opening of windows. This wasn't happening...I was too exhausted to entertain the likes of me. I pretended to be sleeping hoping Victor would say something but the man seemed more occupied in holding me than actually doing something about Leo. He was strange and scared me. His niceness was getting out of hand"Vivie, come on get up," Leo said as he walked back to the bed like a fool, I stirred and I found myself moving around as my eyes flickered open. The room shone brightly, making me yawn as I sat up. Regaining my senses I was fully awake when I found Leo staring at me with
(Vivienne)After a long day of work and hanging out with friends I finally got some time for myself. Cleaned up my apartment, made a good dinner, and took a hot shower. After Monica's appearance, I decided to come back to my apartment. I didn't tell Victor about this particular detail and the man was calling non-stop. I tried to ignore him unfortunately he wouldn't stop calling hence immediately I wore something comfortable. I threw a bunch of files and my laptop on the bed and finally picked up his call and put it on loudspeaker so I could work and hear him disturb me"Where are you?"The man's angry voice came from the phone I placed on the bed. "Umm...my apartment...any problem," I said hesitantly knowing I was trying to ignore him"I sent a driver...what happened?" he asked and by the sound of his voice, I could tell the man was working out. I smiled as I picked up some files I took from the office earlier and started perusing through them"Mr. Ellison I thought I was no longer we
~Flashback continues~Cassy had to deal with Leo. The man was wasted. It seemed he got into a fight with someone and injured his hand. Glass pieces were embedded in his flesh and getting them out frightened her. He needed to sober up and when she tried calling Monica so she could tell her what was happening. She was shocked when it was Justin who answered the phone. It was clear Leo was upset because Monica once again left Leo for JustinThe woman was too, she knew how much Leo loved her so why would she keep on seeing Justin"Leo I don't think…"Cassy started saying but stopped and let him do as he wanted. After a cold shower, she asked him to take it. Cassy was lucky she had a spare tracksuit for men which bought for herself which Leo wore after his showerAs much as it was awkward for Leo to wear something which belonged to her"You didn't have to come here Leo…" it was wrong for him to show up at my doorstep. Not just that but I asked him to sleep on my bed while I slept in the liv
Alexis woke up in the morning only to find herself wrapped in strong muscular arms. It shocked her to see the person was Maverick. As much as she knew there was an attraction between the doctor and her. She panicked and tried to get away..how on Earth did she end up in such a predicament"Oh no," she mouthed as she fixed her eyes on Maverick. He had refined features, from his thin red lips to his beautiful closed eyes. The contours of his face were rare and exceptional. She had seen handsome men before but Maverick was something else. So peaceful and caring. Recalling what had happened between them the previous day. She felt her cheek burning up from embarrassment."Stop staring"Maverick mumbled in a sleepy voice unexpectedly startling Alexis who was caught staring. She quickly averted her eyes from him and prepared to run away from the bed when the man suddenly trapped her. A warm shiver ran down her spine feeling Maverick's hands on her shoulder"Good morning...did you sleep well?"
(Vivienne)"So is the little miss here for some work or is she stalking me?"Mauricio said with a smug plastered on his face. The man was trying hard to be in my good books but the fact that he was Victor's rival put him at a disadvantage"No...if you excuse me I have a friend to see" I said faking a smile and was about to walk past him when he grabbed my arm and pulled me back "excuse me" I shot him a warning glare and he chuckled nervously and removed his hand from mine"My apologies but I just wanted to invite you out for lunch...you intrigue me every time I see you, "Mauricio said, still smiling at me. I disliked his friendliness. "No...look here, Mauricio...I'm not interested...I have a man already so it won't work"I told him straight without giving anything away. I didn't have to entertain him for so long because he was starting to take advantage and think I obliged his advances"So Victor is the one you want... Vivie, why do you want to involve yourself with such a man?" he sai

The next morning Vivienne woke up to the delicious smell of her favorite food. The mouthwatering smell had her stirring as she rubbed her eyes. Pushed herself up only to open her eyes and was startled to find a shirtless Victor sitting beside her with a charming smile plastered on his face.Butterflies swarm her belly making her feel a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. "Good morning baby," the man muttered, leaning forward and stealing a kiss. Before Vivienne could get a taste, he pulled back and kissed her on the forehead. His warmth gave her assurance. Making her blush out of embarrassment "You look lovely, glowing beautifully," Victor added as he cupped her face, and caressed her ears and her soft cheeks. She leaned to his touch, closing her eyes Vivienne let out a soft moan, parted her lips and sucked on his thumb, Victor scooped closer to her and captured her mouth for a kiss. Her hands automatically moved to his face as she pushed up on him. Taking his tongue as deep into her mou
The Night sky was dark with the full moon shining brightly above, The night was still and eerily silent, with neither the sound of night animals nor wind rustling through the trees. The breeze kissing the tree branchesThe moon above had reached its apex and shone silvery light down uponVivienne cupped the mass of him below, the shifting weights heavy against her palm. She squeezed, gently rolled the roundness, while he set his teeth and endured her touch as if he were being drawn and quartered."Baby," Victor whispered as he looked at her with a drowsy gaze, she didn't look so pleased. He understood her frustration. Her racing heart proved just how irritated she was."Why?" She asked while tracing her finger in his chest. Victor was half sitting and leaning his back against the several pillows he had stacked together. His wife was on top of him, resting her hands on his chest"We have to wait, sweetheart… it's just a year… I can't take the risk," he muttered while playing with her
Victor's trembling hands cupped Vivienne's face, moving closer to her afraid that she might drift away, leaving him without hearing him out. He could feel hot liquid dripping from her eyes and landing on his hands as she gripped his hands in preparation to shrug him away"Y-you can't say that… you know how much you mean to me… do you even know what your words are doing to me," Victor whispered feeling his chest tightening, he couldn't stand a day without her, talk of separating from her"It's for the best, I…. I don't want to be a burden… we both know I've failed," Vivienne muttered as she tried to get away from him. Blinking away tears, her eyelashes lifted and met Victor's gaze"Don't punish yourself over a silly matter…," he said, caressing her face, Victor knew she was questioning herself as a woman. But he didn't care about anything other than her happiness "I've failed as a wife, as a mother…sobs… I couldn't protect our child…sobs…I killed our child can't you understand, I'm so
Immediately Alexis and Maverick reached the farmhouse with birthday presents for both husband and wife. Alexis rushed upstairs to Vivienne's room where Kyan told her she wasIt had been a while since they saw each other. Nearly a year had passed and her friend was still the same"Happy birthday Vic, you look so dashing," Alexis said with a smile and hugged Victor who received them from the driveway. The businessman was wearing a black satin long-sleeved black shirt with black jeans, the top two buttons were left open. His hair was neatly tied in a bun and his beard nicely shaven. She had to say the man was a sensation. Even that, the dark circles around his eyes of a man who hadn't slept for days"Stop it, sweetie, you are making the man blush," Maverick elbowed him and Victor smiled faintly"So birthday boy, where is birthday girl… I'm sure you two are excited to celeb your first birthday together," Maverick said with a grin, Alexis saw how the two men were talking and hence decided
Victor arrived at the Ellison mansion, he knew even if he went out, Vivienne was surrounded by the people who loved her more. Leo was there as well as Edmund. Even her two friends were always around cheering her up. Despite everything, his wife was still trapped in a world of pain. He just made sure the people who hurt his wife were no more. That way no one would hurt her again"How is she?" He asked when he met Edmund walking out of the room hiding basket of fruits and boxes of chocolates"She's okay, but still the same… she's sleeping now, Skylar is in the drawing room with Kyan" Edmund informed with a faint smile, Victor nodded knowing full well everyone was always exhausted. None slept in the night because of Vivienne, no matter how much they tried to bring her back, she was just not responding "Vic, I know I'm not supposed to be saying this… but…but as a doctor… don't you think… I mean just a suggestion," Edmund said hesitantly. He didn't know how to put things delicately be
Valentina crawled on the floor helplessly, blood dripping from the corners of her lips, the agony she was going through was unexplainable. With all her might she grabbed the age of the table and leaned toward it."W-what…what did you…ah!"Valentina was in extra pain as the words left her mouth only to scream out when her stomach twisted as she tried bending down, unfortunately, the more she attempted that the more pain she felt. Her eyes were crimson red and filled with tears as she lifted her head to look up. Victor was sitting in the chair with crossed legs. His expression was deadly. Valentina knew at once what happened. He gave her poison and she was dying"You touched her, I warned you to stay away from my wife," Victor muttered angrily, his gaze sharp and devilish. Valentina winced in pain, her eyes were getting blurry. Telling her she was about to die. Shortly Victor rose to his feet. His eyes fixed on the pathetic woman before him"Y… you….I won't spare you!"Valentina shoute
"Are you foolish huh?" a stern male voice yelled startling Valentina who took a step back but straightened her back. Rolling her eyes she made her way to the table, picked up a bottle of wine and poured herself a glass. Mr Matias paced angrily around that Valentina was irritated. Turning around, she sipped on her wine and slowly sat on the couch. Mr Matias was fuming in rage as he turned to look at the woman before him"How much, just how much money did I give you to do one job!" He shouted kicking away a bottle placed on the side table that shattered on the floor and the liquid splashed everything even Valentina's legs. With disgust, Valentina placed the glass back on the table and crossed her legs gracefully "What do you expect huh… For Victor to sit still and watch you… he's bewitched by Vivienne… he dances to her tune like some little boy in love," Valentina said sarcastically not sure why Matias was busy attacking her when she tried her level best to make sure Vivienne and Victo
Cassy and Alexis were visiting Vivienne. With Victor away dealing with the Lewis trouble which had created a huge Scandal. They decided to stay with her. Alexis was even sadder seeing her friend in such a stateShe wasn't talking, Cassy had tried to remind her of the past but unfortunately, nothing happened. Even letting Archie and Skylar bother her didn't help. Not just that but Cassy invited Vivienne's gynecologist to examine herMaybe she thought losing the baby would make her incapable of giving birth and Cassy stood to the sides watching the doctor tend to her. It didn't take a while before the lady was done examining Vivienne."Doc, she'll be fine right?" What Alexis meant to say was, if Vivienne's womb was okay. Maybe her friend was worried about not having kidsVictor had tried to reason with her, but unfortunately, nothing happened"Dr please," Cassy said, gesturing for the doctor to the door so they could talk in private. The doctor nodded and followed the women out, Cas
