Other than some guests, the entire family was shocked to see the woman stand before the altar. A shocked kyan even dropped the flowers he had been holding and rushed down the few staircases and stood in front of the woman who looked exactly like AlisaMonica on the other hand was nervous, so she asked her to stay away. Why did she decide to show herself at a crucial moment? This wasn't done at all"Who is she?""Why does she look so familiar?" voices rose in the air and Vivie felt her knees weaken. She felt dizzy that only Victor's hold on her kept her from collapsing"Careful," both Victor and Maverick said as they held Vivie. Maverick too saw the person. Yes, she looked like Alisa, however, the clothes she was wearing weren't what Alisa used to wear. Alisa was decent. The lady before them was wearing something showing too much of her skin"Is… is she that woman Ricky… Victor's dead wife?"Alexis whispered when Maverick stood beside her."Mm… but I'm not sure"Maverick whispered and st
Victor poured himself a glass of wine. Glancing up, he took a long sip before placing the bottle back on the tableThe sky was dark, the day had turned to night. Shifting his gaze towards the large glass window. The city looked beautiful and mesmerizing from up where he wasShifting around, he stood by the window, sipping his wine with ease. The taste was electrifying. Soothing his throat as he waited for his wifeYesIt sounded good to call someone his wife, reflecting on what happened for him to finally have his woman. Victor's lips curled upwards, soon someone hugged him from behind since he wasn't wearing a shirt. Wrapping her cold arms around his body and resting them on his belly. The scent of floral vanilla with mixed flowery fragrances invaded his nostrils, and her face connected with his back sending a shiver down his body. He didn't have to guess to know it was Vivie. His wife was rather quiet since they came back from the wedding. He didn't take her to the Ellison mansion,
~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
