Leo's eyes were glued to the reports in his hands. This was something else. How did this happen? Yes he spent a night with Cassy that he recalled but the two never spoke about itHe wanted to talk to her about what happened between them but she was avoiding him. He thought she regretted the night they spent together with how she was acting as if nothing happened"Leo, you know what to do...I know you love Monica but...it's a child we are talking about"Vivienne's voice brought him back from his trail of thoughts as his eyes shifted to her. When Cassy came back to London Vivie was the first to see her; later he was informed by his manager that he saw Cassy with a little boy and he was her son. Of course, Leo didn't believe any of it until Vivie said the same thing to her. When did Cassy have a child? Did she get back to her ex-boyfriend? He knew she had a boyfriend but they broke up. He did a little digging but unfortunately, he found out Blake, Cassy's ex, was already married. He had t
(Vivienne)"So...why are you sad huh?"Cassy asked as she sat beside me. I was dying to get out of the god-forsaken bed and leave the damned hospital. This was bad. I didn't want to stay here any longer. Of course, services were top-notch, VIP and all the nurses and doctors were at my disposal but I just didn't like hospitals...they gave me chills and all"Is little Archie okay…."I asked instead, ignoring her question. I wasn't sad but worried. It had been like a week plus days of being in the hospital. Everything seemed normal...I had my friends visit me, it was heartwarming to receive so much love from these people..Alexis practically spent her nights here since she had to go to work. It was impossible to get rid of her, I asked Maverick to reason with her unfortunately she didn't want to leave me alone"He's fine...I took him out for ice cream yesterday... Cassy, hasn't he tried ice before?"Alexis answered instead as she turned away from the window she had been standing at and Cassy
Monica's world came crashing down as she feasted her eyes on the DNA results in her hands. This wasn't happening. This isn't what she hoped things would turn out. "No...this can't be...sobs...sobs...this is a lie...no!"Monica shouted, throwing the papers away as tears rained down her face... "Skylar is my sister's child, not that girl's child…"Monica said furiously as she wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Martha smirked as she leaned back to her chair and fixed her eyes on Monica weeping hysterically"Of course...she deceived everyone... Moni, what did you expect from a girl like her?"Martha said bitterly..her eyes sharp as a blade that could pierce through anything. Monica was shattered, she never knew everything would turn out like this. Skylar was the only one keeping her sane knowing her sister left without a word."She saw a wealthy man like Victor... depressed and without a wife...she did this to trap Vic" Martha added with a hand slam on the desk such that the deafeni
(Vivienne)Waking up to Skylar's mischievous giggles was something I didn't expect. Unfortunately, I couldn't help but chuckle when my eyes opened and I found Skylar beside me. She was nicely dressed in a little white jump short with her curly hair done. "Morning Sky," I said reaching for her face and to my shirt, she leaned forward and planted a little kiss on my forehead surprising me greatly, and when she moved back. She had that warm smile plastered on her cute face"Good morning...do you want anything?" she asked and like a fool, I just laid there shocked. I didn't expect to wake up to Skylar. Not at all and seeing her smiling at me. I pulled her in for a surprise hug."Not at all baby" I was content waking and she was the first person I saw. Other than Victor, Skylar was my reason to live. Embracing her in my arms was something I've always wanted. To be with her no matter what. Her arms wrapped around my neck firmly and I tightened mine around her delicate form. I couldn't hold
Maverick was surprised when Alexis barged into his office causing a stir. She was more angry than usual..she didn't even mind that he was talking to another doctor"Don't worry...I'll ask Victor if we can purchase new medicines for the month"Maverick said to one of the hospital directors."Thank you doctor," the man said with a faint smile and proceeded out of the office. Maverick's eyes narrowed as he closed the door and turned to look at the lady fuming in anger."May I know where this disrespect is coming from?" he asked, arching his brows questionably."You should be ashamed of yourself...you caused this mess and you are letting Vivie suffer, "Alexis said as she slammed her pure on Maverick's desk and fixed her cat-like eyes on the doctor. Of course, Maverick already knew what had happened. The chaos he created"I had a word with Vic...I explained what happened...he's a doctor too...he knows what I did was exactly what he would have done" he said as he proceeded towards his desk.A
Vivienne's flight to her destination was something she didn't expect especially with the wonderful service she was getting. A nice meal to accompany her journey. Of course, she didn't mean to take advantage of Victor's luxurious private jet Leo and Justin directed her to take. She was bewildered by the comfort she got. It was a little bit off being attended to and getting a special VIP treatment even when she wasn't Victor's wife. Vivienne guessed she had such privileges from being engaged to him. Keeping that aside she scanned the diamond ring on her finger and sighed recalling now that she was his fiancee. They needed to talk like adults because Victor was busy overreacting. Yes, she lied which was bad.. keeping such a secret from him was unbearable. He felt betrayed once more by the woman he cared for. As much as she was happy the load was finally off her shoulders, she still had to talk to him and clear everything. To tell him it wasn't her intentions"Ahh... grumpy man the thin
(Vivienne)After a hot bath, I finally stepped out of the shower. The suite was beautiful. I liked everything, the vast spacious bedroom which had a rear view of the glorious pool area. The beautiful balcony opened to a vibrant sky revealing beautiful scenery. The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky.The sky was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun. I smiled as I walked up to the balcony. The setting sun cast its rays on my body, I was only wearing a white towel around my body reaching mid-thigh high and exposing my slender legs. The towel wrapped around my head didn't do much to prevent water from dripping down my body, I didn't mind as I stood there free of all thoughts. Right there and then I sank into my world and took a bottle of lotion."This is refreshing" the sun, the cool breeze, the view, and hearing people having fun below caused a smile to creep onto my face. Smearing the cold thick cream
With Victor's absence, Monica made sure no one dared to enter the mansion, especially any of Vivienne's friends. It was enough that Skylar wasn't her niece. She was devastated to think she didn't have anyone in her family. Looked at Skylar sleeping, so peacefully. Tears rained down her face without her permission..this was supposed to be the only reason for her to live.Her sister left her without a word and now she was all alone… she had no one to call her own. everything was taken from her..all she wanted was to have Skylar in her life. She was her reason to live"No one will take you away...I promise baby...you are my niece and no one else" she muttered, kissing Skylar's face. This wasn't done. Vivienne was not Skylar's mom and would never be because Skylar was Alisa's child. Monica didn't stop weeping until her eyes gave up. Tears ceased to flow. The breaking of something from outside Skylar's room caused her to snap back to reality. Monica rose from the bed and walked towards the
