(Vivienne)I could tell from a distance that Martha was forcing things. I thought Victor was the one hugging her unfortunately it was the opposite. Martha was busy using her friendship card with Victor to get her way. I didn't disturb them because they were obvious to my presence. I stood in one place as I watched what was going on in front of me"You don't have to worry...I'm always here for you Vic" Martha said innocently and moved away from Victor who was standing there like a statue. He didn't even look at her. I watched in anticipation, not sure why some women liked forcing things. It wasn't right to hallucinate or want something which was out of their reach"Vic...is everything okay...do you want me to make your favorite food….you must be exhausted after a long day" Martha added when Victor didn't reply. It was surprising to see her so concerned about him. She never got so close to him before and now she was clinging to him like a leech"Not needed" suddenly the man spoke, surpr
(Vivienne)The first thing Victor and I did when morning approached was set out for the hospital. I knew I was overreacting but I just wanted to be sure Skylar was okay. We didn't see Doctor Justin or Doctor Maverick but some other doctor, a pedestrian named Clara. She was a nice lady. I held Skylar in my arms when she was doing all the necessary tests. Victor was there for a while unfortunately the man seemed to have been summoned for something related to the hospitalI was a bit worried to know what was happening. I hoped it wasn't something serious. Skar was precious to me. I was willing to do anything to make sure my daughter was okay and Clara was kind enough to do all that was needed for us to come to a proper solution"You don't have to worry about anything...she's alright...her diet is okay," Clara said as she went through the results brought from the lab. I was agitated as I sat there in the doctor's office. Skylar was in another room where she was being examined earlier"You
"Doctor...are you sure about this...it's so cool...you are amazing," Alexis said with squeals as she continued chatting with Justin. After what Maverick did to her. She decided to treat him like air. Earlier she came to the hospital and asked Justin if they could have some time to chat and Justin suggested the hospital canteen hence both were having a good time especially when the doctor had some time off his hands"I didn't know...I'm sure your father has a hard time," Justin said, laughing at Alexis's situation of having her dad as the vice Chancellor at her university. The girl was fun to talk to"A lot strict and can you believe he chased hot boys away," Alexis said with a small frown which Justin found cute. "I'm sure he did well…" he said and added more food to her plate. Alexis didn't mind. Doctor Justin was far a gentleman compared to Maverick. She felt more at peace with him As the two continued chatting happily. Maverick just came in when he was done with his work and upon
Cassy stirred in her sleep something smelled delightful. Her sensitive nose caught a rich whiff of something delicious. Licking her lips unconsciously. Cassy shifted a little, dragging the sheets with her. She didn't know what was smelling so nice, making her mouth water so badly that she moaned in delight. Was it a dream? If so then she didn't want to wake up as she moaned even more. Who could cook such delicious food"So delicious" she mumbled while rubbing her eyes and when she opened them, the bright light in the room caused her to blink multiple times to adjust to the bright life. She thought she was having a dream, unfortunately, the smell in the room was so strong that her taste buds aroused as she looked around, not sure what was happening. With ease, she crawled out of bed. Scanned the place for anything unusual."Archie?" she called out to her son when she didn't find him on the bed. Cassy found her house slippers and wore them and quickly rushed out of the room. Did her son
(Vivienne)I couldn't handle anything that would make us go back to the drawing board. I was so close to knowing the main culprit. To unmask the woman deceiving us. Victor and I drove to the police station without wasting any time. He didn't know how important this was for me, for us. The woman attacking in the shadows"This...this can't be...do you think she can write this" the so-called detective was insane to think I would believe his likes. "I'm afraid this is what she wrote before she committed suicide...we found her hanging in her cell"the detective whom Victor called Cruz said shaking his head. I looked at him for a while not believing anything. This was a lie. Beverly was only used in this. She wasn't the mastermind like the confession said. "How did she kill herself under your watch...are you doing your job or do you need some time off!"Victor said angrily. He had nothing to do with the legal work of policemen, unfortunately, this was too much. He asked them to guard Beverl
(Vivienne)Martha was the woman killing people. She was crazy and heartless. No one would suspect her because she hid her intentions very well. She wasn't even fighting back when I slapped her a few times to get the anger out. The last slap had her stumbling backward and a brown-haired woman caught her before she hit the ground"Stop it now...this is not your house!" the woman yelled, shooting angry daggers at me. She always called me a street girl but now I wanted to show her what I always did to those who thought I was a defenseless girl and to those who bullied me. "This is nothing... compared to what I'll do to you!"She was worse than a snake and the people backing her were exactly like her. I tried to control my breathing but the anger rushing through me was something I haven't experienced before. The lady's yelling was like adding more fuel to the already burning fire in me. I hated women like Martha who hid behind smiles and fake"A...aunt...get her...out"Martha stammered the
(Vivienne)Since we left Martha's place I was a little bothered by that blonde lady. Something about her seemed off. Not in a bad way but looking in her eyes. There was something I saw but not sure what it wasI sat in my chair brushing my hair after a hot shower. My swollen hand was proof of my deed. The pain only resurfaced when I applied a lot of pressure and brushing my hair with force caused a sharp pain that stung a little"That woman is... Leo's mother…" it didn't make any sense. She didn't look so horrible as per what Leo described her. Looks could be deceiving, she was so calm, not so rebellious as I imagined her to be"Hello my lady…" the door opened and Julia walked in together with three more servants. Putting the pink brush on the table I glanced back and saw the various things they were bringing in. I wasn't ready yet but I was still wearing a white robe. Julia smiled and walked up to me"Umm...what's this?"I asked, pointing at the various items they put on the bed. Juli
"You always had so much love for your father...he was the perfect man in your eyes' 'Marlene said, recalling every moment her son chose his father over her. He never showed her any love or care"My father never compromised my happiness...he never sent me to a boarding school away from the family"Leo fired back knowing she never gave him any reasons to love her. She was always bitter and never showed him love. The woman before him had no right to say anything to him"I had my reasons for that...I didn't want my son to see exactly what his family was... Leo...I know I was hard on you but...I had to protect you" she was hard on Leo and always distanced herself from him. She sent him to a boarding school at a young age and never allowed him to come back at times"Your father wasn't as he claimed to be...I didn't want you...to...to see his animalistic side...his violent behavior and his constant beatings" Marlene said as her eyes watered. EWith each word, her heart bled badly recalling th
