"No…I won't go…I'm sleepy" Skylar refused, shaking his head when Victor prevented her from getting under cover. Vivienne was rendered helpless seeing how stubborn Skylar was acting. "Sweetie…Papa is sleepy too…why don't you run off to your room"Victor coaxed Skylar at arm's length. The little girl frowned at us. I was stunned seeing her pout cutely"I don't wanna…I want to sleep here!"Skylar snapped and I was even more helpless. Victor didn't look so happy with his daughter's outburst. With ease, Victor reached for Skylar's face and caressed with lovingly"Sweetheart go to Uncle Kyan and I promise to give you whatever you want…anything"Victor coaxed with a sweet smile. I glanced between daughter and father and saw Skylar's eyes glimmer in delight. I wanted to interrupt the crazy talk however I wanted to see how it ended"What do you want Papa to give you…a castle…new toys…millions" Victor said the options and I was stunned seeing Skylar beaming. Was she seriously getting manipulated
(Vivienne)Alexis didn't look so fine. I knew her for three years and what I knew was enough. She wasn't always like this. It was a shame to see her drinking alcohol in such a way"I'm such a fool…I'm so gullible that it hurts"Alexis continued sobbing as she gulped down one bottle of liquor after the other. I already asked the waiter not to give her anymore because she was already wasted. Her eyes were droopy and red. Her speech slurred, it was hard to keep her down when she said she wanted to do the craziest thing to stop the pain"Alex I know but drinking…this isn't such a good idea" I tried to get the bottle from her unfortunately she gripped it like hanging onto her life"That jerk left me…he's a good for nothing man" Alexis cursed Maverick even more. It was a shame to hear why Alexis was drowning in her sorrows like this but I never expected her mysterious love to be Maverick. Forget that I was shocked when she told me everything that happened"I know but let's go home…I'm sure w
(Vivienne)"I don't like him," Victor kept saying as he drove the car to our destination. I failed to understand him. Earlier I tried by all means to avoid a man's brawl, Janice was hell-bent on not letting Maverick touch Alexis in any way. He believed he was one of those rich men who took advantage of women and hurt them"The man just wanted to help out…no big deal" victor was making things up. I was in disbelief thinking he agreed with maverick and his barbaric way of handling the matterI had to convince Janice not to fight Maverick because he was Alexis's lover. Victor on the other side was giving me a sour look especially when I was defending Janice"Still I hate the way he was looking at you" Victor shot back, his expression was a displeased one. For one thing, he was overreacting. This wasn't a time for him to act jealous. Was he insecure after seeing my former boss"I used to work for him…he isn't so bad actually…I have to say he looks more handsome than before….never knew the
"And do you think…now you have succeeded?"Martha asked Vivie as she shot angry daggers at Vivienne. After Frank made baseless introductions as Martha regarded Vivie. He left to talk to the detective in charge. Vivienne only came to mock her. To spit on her "Look here…just know this place is your forever home," Vivie said, smirking at Martha. She didn't want to be here or be regarded as Frank's daughter. She happened to have come here solely to talk to Martha and make sure to tell her she was going to rot in hell for committing crimes"Vic is your friend…that hospital means the world to him…we both know it was dear to his late mother…how could you!"It was heartbreaking to know the people they trusted more were the ones causing pain. She understood one thing. Never take a bullet for anyone because they were the ones driving a knife deep into her back and Martha was such a friend"I didn't do it…I did nothing okay…the only thing I did was cover up for someone…"Martha denied it just like
"And this is Leo when he was just born," Marlene said, showing me Leo's baby pics. He was so adorable. So cute with beautiful eyes. I wondered now whom I resembled. Seeing Marlene had blonde hair and Frank had dark hair. Leo had a mixture of brown hair which was like a shade of blonde brown. He had beautiful green-blue eyes"And here is when…I was pregnant with you…Frank never let me do a thing…he said our baby might get harmed"Marlene added smiling as she gave more old photos of herself. From the first day to the last month. She had taken pictures, even the ultrasound she showed me. I didn't know what to say. The feeling was impeccably strong that I could feel my chest rising and falling steadily"Was it painful?"I asked as I shuffled through the many photos. In every picture, she was happy and smiling. Her hand was always on her belly. She didn't look like someone who didn't want her child"No dear…it was the most beautiful feeling for me..it was different from the first time"Marlen
Victor didn't stop laughing at Vivie for one second..the look on her face was priceless. She knew any better than to trust him. He was a doctor and like a fool, she asked for such things from him, her man"I'm serious…we talked about this," Vivie said, shutting him up. He thought this was funny but it wasn't. She explained to him why she wasn't ready to have a child. So much was happening. She needed to get it together. Her internship was about to end. She needed to graduate in case he forgot about that"It doesn't matter…I can hire the best tutors for you" Victor said, stroking her chin. Vivienne slapped his hand away knowing this was what she wanted. "We talked about this…you knew how much I wasn't prepared for this" she made it clear, she explained to him and she thought he understood her unfortunately he was being selfish again. Victor's smile dropped seeing how angry Vivie looked. He thought she would be happy about this"It's just pregnancy, nothing terrifying," he said, not un
"How can you let such a thing happen…it was your duty to make sure this place is safe!"Frank yelled at detective Cruz and his team. They knew any better than to let their cell be unsafe for people. This wasn't a maximum prison where violence happened"Such things happen, sir…anyone in that cell is considered a criminal…your daughter is no different, "the detective said calmly. He had no right to say the cell wasn't safe. His daughter was a suspected criminal. If she met a few bad people there. How was it their fault that she provoked them and got beaten up? Frank was angry from the time he came to the hospital. Although Martha was in police custody she was taken to a hospital immediately they found her lying half-dead in the prison cell covered in blood"Do you think I care about that…you refused my daughter's bail and now she was nearly killed here!"Frank didn't leave any stone unturned. He went as far as approaching a judge for help. He knew many influential people in the legal syst
While the women were discussing men. The men had covered in the private lounge situated to the left-wing of the mansion. The large room was painted white with a large glass window with golden curtains hanging and drawn apart. Revealing a beautiful rear view of the large grassland yard. The particular area was rarely used. Victor's mansion was equivalent to an estate except that it didn't have any mini buildings. The yard extended further and has a private swimming pool alongside a basketball court and a newly made playground for kidsHe built the playground for Skylar and his future kids. And looking outside the window he knew the little one Vivienne was expecting was another addition to his familyHe couldn't help but smile to himself as he turned back to the two men busy pouring some cold beers down their throats. It was early in the afternoon. Victor chose to stay home since he messed up big timeWith Vivienne giving him a cold shoulder. He switched to acting all lovey-dovey like
