"Mavi, tell me she's alright...how...how did this happen?"Alexis panicked as she came running. Maverick was fast enough to stop her from crashing into anything. It was rare to see her so worked up but what had happened earlier had left everyone shaken. Vivienne was in critical condition and Victor was doing everything possible to save her life"She suffered a lot of burns and inhaled too much smoke...I'm afraid…"Maverick said hesitantly as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly knowing full well things had turned out bad"What's it...is it bad...tell me nothing should happen to Vivie"Alexis couldn't take it anymore as tears flooded her face. The thought of Vivienne getting hurt was something she couldn't stand. Who knew what happened so suddenly. How did her apartment catch fire when she recalled talking to Vivienne? She was happy having Skylar's sleepover. Both talked over the phone for a while and she knew how her friend was happy. Vivienne was always careful. "She suffered fr
It was shocking how Victor walked right past all of them. Even when Maverick, who came back just in time, asked him how Vivienne was doing... Victor ignored him and left from there. Leo was twice as surprised by Victor's behavior. They all thought something bad had happened to Vivie and hence got tense however when Justin came out. He told them the good news"Did something happen...why is he like this...when Vivie is stable" Leo whispered only for Maverick and Justin to hear. The three men stood outside Vivienne's room. Since Alexis and Cassy went in to see her. They stayed wondering why the man was ignoring everyone."Not sure...he's been like this for quite some time...he didn't even let me help him, "Justin said, still confused. He knew Victor was a formidable doctor when it came to serious matters but during the entire process, they were attending to Vivienne. He didn't seem like himself"Maybe...he's just worried about Vivie...this was sudden for him"Maverick chimed in and said h
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

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
