~same night~Meanwhile, Alexis had gotten out of the shower and was angrily tossing clothes on the bed, disturbing Maverick who shoved the clothes off his laptop. Glancing up he was wondering why the woman was busy venting her anger on the clothes and an innocent man like him"And what's gotten into you?''Maverick asked nonchalantly, however, Alexis didn't dare say a word but tossed more clothes on the bed angrily. She turned around and walked closer to the bee. Maverick arched his eyebrows at her. It was in the middle of the night. They had an exhausting day. Wasn't she supposed to be sleeping"Tell me… are all men this useless?" the woman asked, sounding bitter. Maverick was even more perplexed"Does that… include…myself?" he asked a little hesitant not sure if the insults applied to him"When I say all men… you inclusive"Alexis lashed out at him. She stood by the bed with her hands resting on her hips like some boss. Maverick scanned her for a while and averted his eyesIf she was
"I don't think so…do you think I was wrong?"Monica asked as she attended to Janice, she was still disturbed after what happened at the wedding. Janice wasn't there but according to Monica's explanation. He got a bigger picture"So she just showed up, why?" he didn't like that idea, Vivie was a good girl. He had seen her. Even when she had nothing. The girl stuck to her principles"She's my sister… but having her around, I feel uneasy…especially anywhere near Victor"Monica paced, she was restless. She didn't even have a good night's sleep because of that"Look just make sure your sister doesn't cause trouble… if possible ask her to resign"it was as simple as that. The twin to Alisa just popped out of nowhere. It would be awkward for Victor to see her. Janice didn't know Victor that much and didn't care about him, however, he was looking out for Vivie"Maybe," Monica said after a lot of thought. Vale was different from Alisa. If she was willing to let her sister sacrifice her happiness
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.
