Victor and Frank pulled at the police station. The late afternoon was bright and the sun was shining brightly. Cruz and his team invited them in. Frank needed to handle the case of Martha and his sister KateVictor didn't wish to drop the case knowing his wife suffered at the hands of Martha"She paid a lot of people and doctors…Mr. Lewis, I'm afraid your daughter has to appear before the judge and plead guilty" Cruz said, shoving a file at Frank. Victor didn't move. His gaze was serene as he listened carefully. If it were up to him he would love it if Martha rot in jail"How could she"Frank was in disbelief. The daughter he raised himself turned out to be so bitter. The crimes she committed we're unforgivable"Sir it's up to you…we pardoned the old nurse as you said…what about Ms. Cate?"Cruz asked, he was instructed to release the nurse hence he did so. She was just threatened by Cate however Cate committed a crime although not as serious as Martha's murder casesFrank was disturbed.
Victor rushed to the Lewis mansion immediately after he was informed about Vivie. As much as he didn't want to listen to the words Martha said. He was beyond worriedGetting to the mansion, he found Frank in the living room. He didn't seem worried."Keep calm, the doctor is with her, and congratulations my boy," Frank said, shaking Victor's hands unexpectedly. The man was disturbed not sure what to do. "Is she okay…nothing happened?"Victor asked. Staying in the living room was like him wasting time when he would be in the bedroom with Vivie."She's fine…the doctor said it's just exhaustion, "Frank remarked and sat back down. He was happy his daughter was expecting however something was up"Do you plan on making my daughter give birth like this?"Frank asked. This time his expression was dark. Victor shook his head not sure what the man meant "take a seat boy" Frank said gesturing for Victor to sit down. Hesitantly, Victor took a seat opposite the man. "When are you marrying her or do
To Vivienne's relief, she received a call from Maverick telling her not to worry about Alexis. She had been calling Alexis the entire day unfortunately there was no reply. Only then did she get any good night's sleep especially with victor on the phone talking to herWith the rain pouring heavily, the city was in a slumber. The sky was covered in gray clouds. The small cabin didn't seem to be strong enough to hold for long, however, a shivering Alexis rubbed her cold hands together. Her teeth chattered as she waited for Maverick to light up the fire. She didn't think she would hold on for much longerThe clothes she was wearing stuck to her body like a second skin due to them being wet. the coldness engulfed her penetrating her flesh and swore her bones froze outIt was funny how she and Maverick got wet however a day full of fun was worth it"It's not working," she asked, moving closer to Maverick who was on his knees trying to start the fire. "Just a little more" he replied and Ale
The following week was spent doing two things, preparing the fashion and getting everyone busy. Cassy fixing and making outfits for the show. Whilst posing for cameras. With Leo around things seemed easy. Janice was getting used to the idea of being a model for a dayAlexis was getting used to her new relationship with the doctor. The frequent outing Maverick planned as a surprise and the many late-night walks she enjoyed, ended with her getting some love from the mainAfter that night at the cabin, she was open with her feelings and set some boundaries, he wasn't allowed to spend the night at her apartment until they got married. The Dr was sad however he knew his woman was right. Alexis was different, she wanted something newOn the other hand, Monica was getting used to working double. Mornings spent at the bank and afternoons at the modeling agency, with Janice around. She was irritated. After that unfortunate night, she was compelled to get a lift from him. She didn't like seeing
The Lewis household was busy getting ready, and Marlene was more than excited to support her soon-to-be daughter-in-law. As much as she didn't know Cassy. She felt the girl was talented. She deserved all the support hence she made sure she invited her very good friends. Certain elegant and class friends who would love to check out the beautiful clothes, Cassy had designed"Granny…it hurts, "little Skylar said when Marlene was busy pinning her hair,"Okay, sweetie…I'm almost done," Marlene said, planting a soft kiss on Skylar's cheeks. The girl was busy doing her own thing"Don't overdress her darling…she's already cute" came Frank who chuckled seeing how pretty Skylar was looking..her grandma had done so much to make the little girl look like a princess"She needs to stand out okay…I asked Cassy if children were allowed and she said it's okay" she wouldn't have gotten herself worked up if not for asking Cassy. If the party was appropriate for kids. Cassy said there were no alcoholic b
Vivienne was more than happy to see Cassy and Alexis looking beautiful. She was amazed by the vibrant decorations. The atmosphere was blissful. Music was soothing. The table arrangements were twice as nice. Vivienne liked the theme of the party. Some bluish lights mixed with a little romantic red and the chandeliers matched the themeVivienne was happy when Alexis gave her a half hug. The blue-eyed beauty was wearing a black asymmetric metal chain neck sleeveless bandage dress. Her black hair fell in waves covering her back. The black purse in her hand matched her beautiful dress. Alexis was nothing but a beauty sensationGlancing to the sides at the far end, I spotted Maverick. Dashing as always in an elegant burgundy two-piece suit with white sneakers. The man went for something different which made him stand out. I always saw him in casual doctor attire, mainly with a white coat hiding almost all of himI was amused seeing how the man was eyeing Alexis now and then. The poor doctor
(Vivienne)I was still bothered by Monica and Janice. I had no right to think anything, however Monica's behavior towards Janice had me thinking. I was standing with Maverick and Alexis on the left side of the runway together with other people while the rest stood on the other side. I saw how Janice kept looking at Monica. The man didn't seem fine. Did she fight with Leo? When Tina asked me to get JaniceI asked a few people and they told me the directions he went to. I met Leo along the way. And he didn't look happy. It was rare to see Leo angry."What's wrong?"Maverick asked, jerking me back to reality. The music playing made it hard for me to hear him."Nothing…what's going on…Vic told me he can't make it" I said turning to Maverick. Alexis was busy taking pictures of the models walking on the runway. So were the rest of the people"No, just some issues with the hospital"Maverick muttered loud enough for me to hear him. I didn't believe his words. He was hiding something from him"
(Vivienne)"Are you sure..it's safe for me to go?"Leo asked scanning the dark surrounding"Leo it's fine…I'm sure Archie and Cassy will need someone to drive them home" I said, not sure why he was making this sound like Victor was a monster. "Sweetie…the man is in a terrible mood..it's not so wise for you…to be alone with him, "Leo said scratching the back of his head. What was he trying to say? For a second I thought of asking him why he didn't want me alone with Victor"Leo don't worry…I'll handle this," I said hoping he wouldn't insistWe arrived at the Ellison mansion. It was awfully quiet. Despite the lights being on outside. The darkness inside gave me chills"Okay baby doll…take care…of both of you" he finally gave in and pulled me in his arms. After a while of Leo hugging me. He finally leftWith a long sigh, I turned around and was greeted by the darkness of the large mansion. Lifting my heavy dress I made my way from the drivewayDespite the guards around, I felt chills"Ok
