It was a beautiful mid-afternoon, a beautiful canvas graced with Sky blues and pure milky white clouds. The sun sipped through the clouds giving a beautiful sceneryVivienne knew she had chosen the perfect day for a family outing, packing all the necessary things they needed for the outings. Cody and Julian dragged the cooler box and food basket to the car. It took everything for her to arrange something for her husband and child. Skylar was more than excited to spend some quality time with Victor. "Half a million deducted" she heard the man say once she settled in the car. With a frown, Vivie pulled Skylar into her lap."Then be ready to lose millions Mr. Ellison" she scoffed, making the man sigh heavily. Victor pulled both of them to him and Vivie ended up resting her head on his shoulderSkylar was too busy moving around hence Victor pulled his daughter from Vir and placed her in his lap"Papa no… I wanna sit here" Skylar protested to sit on Vivienne's lap when Victor glared at h
"The work require the boss to be here, call him now!" Valentina was not happy as she lashed at Jason. She called Victor but unfortunately, his wife answered. On the other hand, Jason was disturbed seeing the woman. She looked like the boss's dead wife. Although their personalities were different"I'm so sorry Miss.. the boss hates being disturbed…for now I'll handle the matter," Jason said and got back to his work. He already explained himself to the woman.Why was she insisting on having the boss"Does he take work seriously... I mean it's just his wife, work is more important, ``Vale spat out bitterly. Jason's eyes narrowed as he looked at her. He had worked for Victor Ellison all his life. His boss used to overwork himself until Vivie showed up. He is more lively now than before. In the past he was scary. Grumpy and aloof. It was hard to approach him, however, now it was easy"Miss… just leave it… let boss be… postpone the meeting if you have to" Jason said for the last time. He di
"What else"the man murmured as he kissed her fingers. The feeling he had was insane, eating him up until he couldn't feel himself but her. She had invaded his senses since the first day. "You are my everything you know… at this point, I can't do without you… promise to be mine forever Victor… no matter what" he whispered as they both stared at each other. Everything around ceased to exist. The blowing of the cold breeze caressed their bodies giving an insane sensation. Victor didn't answer but scooped her in his arms and lifted her bridal style again. "We… we are not done yet" Vivie stuttered when he got her out of the water. She felt the coldness now. Her body stiffened as the man took her out of the water and walked towards the opposite side away from the tent"I thought you wanted me to promise you" Victor muttered as he carefully lowered her down the blanket he had spread by the edge of the lake. Vivienne hissed when her back connected with the arm soft blanket. She watched as
Victor and Vivie returned to the Ellison mansion later in the night. The entire time Vivie and Skylar were asleep. Victor knew for the rest of his life he had to dance to his wife's tuneHe was glad he had some time to spend with her and his daughter. Slowly, he knew Skylar and Vivie would bond and become inseparable. Vivienne was worried for nothing it was good Skylar already loved her before she even met her. When morning approached, two figures were lying in the center of the bed. Wrapped in white linens. Vivienne snuggled to Victor, a smile crept on her face as she stirred.Searched with her hand to feel where she was and yes. She was in the arms of Victor. Slowly her eyes flickered open only to look up and found the man staring at her"Good morning"Victor mumbled in a sleepy voice and reached for her hair. Vivienne felt a little shy when she found him staring. How long was he awake and what was he thinking"When did you wake up?" she asked rubbing her eyes a little to adjust to t
"Still, if I were you I would have asked her to mop the floors,'' Alexis said as they walked down the corridors of the university. The only mistake Vivienne made told her friend about valentine's appearance at the Ellison mansion "I still don't know…Vic asked me if he should fire her," Vivienne said, placing her hand on her belly. She was a little exhausted after attending so many classes in one day. Maybe Victor was right. It was a bad idea, she should have agreed to his homeschooling idea. Unfortunately, she was too stubborn to listen to him"Then what did you say… that woman looks like his late wife… I'm sure Victor too is uncomfortable having her, ``Alexis said, placing her hand on Vivienne's shoulder and both stopped Midway. Vivienne was hungry and hence asked if they could go to any restaurant to have something to eat. Unfortunately, they had to wait for Cody to come back with the car"I can't do that… Vic hired her without knowing her identity… I hate intruding in his work a
"I don't think so, you are pregnant…I'm no doctor but I know pregnant women crave a lot," Tony said with a chuckle as soon as the waitress served them food. Vivienne's mouth was already watering. Being pregnant was something else, she loved every delicious cuisine brought to her table"Will you only eat shrimp?" Vivienne said with her mouthful seeing what he ordered. She ordered food meant for ten people. For some reason, she felt a little shy."Well, I'll have dessert too… Do you want some cake or ice cream?"Tony remarked picking up the menu again so he could see what the restaurant offered. Vivienne pouted and stared at him. The two were supposed to go to a fast food restaurant, unfortunately, Tony requested they go to one of the fancy five-star restaurants. She was a little uncomfortable seeing all the fancy men and women dining"So… I'm curious, I've known the Lewis family for a while… how come…""You never saw me or knew me," Vivienne finished the sentence for him. The profe
It turned out Victor was getting naughtier by the day, he was happier and more open. Unlike before he was starting to be a lot more expressive and his deeds were becoming unpleasant After that night he didn't stop bragging to his friend, complimenting her. Vivienne had divided her time dealing with her school issues and Victor's workOn the other hand, Frank and Marlene were busy making plans about her future "Sweetheart, I know you are independent and married… but your father is getting old… he needs someone to take over the company," Marlene said while brushing Vivienne's hair, she was called for lunch by Marlene. Her mom said she was a little lonely living in the house alone"But, I'm not ready…I…"Vivienne didn't know how to refuse. She already promised Victor to take care of his work and now Frank wanted her to take over. Marlene sensed her hesitation hence placed the brush back on the table and sat down beside Vivie "Dear, is there something you are not telling us?"Marlene as
"Honey, it's good you understand my intentions," Frank said, crossing his legs gracefully, Vivienne nodded and took a sip of the water offered by her dad's PA. After getting to her father's company, she found him in a meeting with the company's four top executives. Mr Matias seemed to be her father's good friend and partner. He was an old man more like Frank's age. "Frank, don't you think it's a huge responsibility for her… not like I'm wrong but… looking at her age, I don't think she's ready," the same man said, shifting his gaze to Vivie, of course, Vivie noticed the man's reaction when Frank introduced her as his daughter. "You are underestimating her… she's young yes… but mature enough to make the right decisions, "Frank complimented with a smile extending his hand toward Vivienne. Vivienne appreciated her father's compliment, unfortunately, she agreed with Mr Matias, she wasn't ready for something so big. The Lewis company was the second high-ranking company after Ellis

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
