"So what's up...did I miss anything?"Leo said, placing a bottle of champagne on Victor's desk and three glass cups. Of course, Victor's eyes had narrowed, not sure what was happening. Maverick too had that confused expression Victor had as both men fixed their eyes on Leo busy fighting to open the bottle was smiling like a fool without even minding the disdainful glares he was getting"You know I always admired doctors when I was young"Leo started as he popped the champagne cheering on his own as the liquid rained on the table making Victor and Maverick move back"So smart and hot and adorable...you know that's what women think...male doctors are hot heros," Leo said pouring a single glass and then another until he filled three glasses with champagne"Drinking in the afternoon is a bad idea...don't you have work to do, "Victor said when Leo handed him a glass stopping Leo mid as he shifted his gaze from Victor to Maverick and he wanted to laugh hard in fact he laughed as he set the g
"Thanks, John...I guess this will do"Alexis said once John finished helping her with her laptop which had been going crazy since morning. She thought she lost some important documents"No prob Alex...see you tomorrow," John said, getting his backpack and turning to leave the office area. Alexis was the only one remaining and busy packing her things. Her friends had already left, including Vivienne who was in an awful mood. Alexis failed to understand what happened to Vivie to leave work so soon, unfortunately, she was occupied with John since afternoon which meant she had to see Vivie later"Not leave yet?"While working on her backpack, Priscilla approached her desk and set a cup of hot coffee near her. Looking up she smiled in gratitude"Very soon and thanks for the coffee, "Alexis said taking the mug in her hand unfortunately it was hot that she put it back to cool down"If you need anything just say so...I'll be in my office," Priscilla said walking away and Alexis nodded and got
"Bro...who the hell is she?" A question came from behind him and Maverick took his time answering his little sister's question as he made sure the lady lying in his bed was okay. He didn't know why she passed out back then and since he was already on his way home as per his mom's request he brought her to his home without realizing what he was doing. Seeing her collapse like that made him lose his mind, he was too worked up to even think about taking her to the hospital"Will she be fine...how come you brought her here...is she your girlfriend?" his little sister fired him with all kinds of questions that he felt more irritated than he already was. Since he came in she didn't stop asking him who the lady was even his mother who was calling him the entire afternoon that she was sick didn't seem so sick because she was in the kitchen preparing food"Aria...why don't you run along to your room and do your homework"Maverick finally said, glancing over his shoulder to make her leave. He wa
"So...you are my brother's girlfriend?"Ariana asked Alexis who just woke up only to find it was already morning and found the cheerful bubbly girl staring at her. For a second she nearly jumped off the bed out of fear but now she was disturbed"N..no I'm not" she simply denied shaking her head and trying to get out of bed. It was too much to make her stay especially to sleep in Maverick's bed but calling her his girlfriend was uncomfortable"That's what my brother's girlfriend would say...don't worry I'm sure he's a pain in the butt... however under that arrogance there's a sweet man with a heart of a puppy, "the girl said with squeals. She had a beautiful smile just like her brother and mother. I guess no one would doubt that she was Maverick's sister. Her behavior was quite lovable especially when she squealed like a typical teen"Ariana it's not like that...I'm…"Alexis tried, by all means, to stop the girl from saying such. What if the rude doctor heard it all. He would think she w
"Did she accept...why isn't she in her office?"Victor said with utter irritation. He was frustrated beyond reason that the people feeling his anger had their heads lowered afraid of looking up and seeing a raging monster. He went through so much trouble to make her happy. He even had to make his intentions to her public and bought her as many beautiful flowers as she would love"S...sir...she...she took her desk and the flowers...she asked me to return them to...the owner"Priscilla gathered enough strength to explain what happened earlier in the morning. She was too scared to stand in front of her boss who was extremely angry because Ms. Payton didn't want his gifts. Not just his office or flowers but the special presence he had wrapped in a beautiful wrapping paper. Romantic breakfast was delivered to her which Vivienne gave to other colleagues and now Victor was not happy how she was turning down what he was giving her "Out!"Victor yelled angrily and the two people didn't even wast
When I arrived at the mansion, I was welcomed by the security men around the mansion. As dark as it was. The night was a little chilly hence I proceeded down the pavement leading to the entrance of the mansion. The lights were on, in some rooms above, and since I knew the mansion inside out. I got to the entrance door and was about to ring the doorbell when the door opened and Julia invited me inside"Is she okay?"I asked as I walked towards the stairs worried about Skylar. It was surprising that she asked for me. As her mother I wanted her to ask for me like this. The feeling was too overwhelming that I didn't know how to react to seeing her"She's in her room with sir... apparently the absence of Ms. Monica and kyan made her lonely"Julia asked as we climbed the stairs. Her words had me thinking. It was kyan who called me but Julia was saying he wasn't around"Did they go somewhere?"I asked suspiciously and Julia nodded slightly "It's Kyan's finals... Ms. Monica accompanied him, "Ju
(Vivienne)Victor was more than a shameless man, for him to try to use his body to seduce me was something else. Despite the many times I asked him to leave me in peace he didn't move an inch. He stayed in the kitchen not even sure if there was a day he entered the kitchen however all that wasn't my concern but how low he was willing to stoop for his own benefits"If you keep looking at me like that...I might just end up squirting a lemon in your eyes" I said disdainfully when I looked up only to find him staring at me with a mischievous grin. He was too much unlike before I had to deal with this new Victor or was he just this crazy but hid under all those layers of clothes he called a suit"Your lips are like wine and I want to get drunk." the man said huskily, sounding like some juicy fruit making me uncomfortable as I pretended not to hear him. He was trying to flirt with me when I heard movements and the shifting of a chair. I busied myself even more concentrating on the little pi
(Vivienne)Nothing felt good as spending time with my daughter even if I had to refrain from calling her my own. Holding her while she slept was like a dream come true for a mother. It took time for me to fall asleep even when Victor and Skylar both fell asleep holding my hand. Having Skylar resting her head on my chest and Victor holding my hand was something else. The emotions evoked within me, I was her mother and I was dying to let it all flow. To shout to the world that I was Skylar's biological mother however the fear of losing her now held me backI knew Victor would get upset even if he liked me now and wanted me in his life. This was a lie and Victor hated anyone lying to him, especially the woman he trusted"Mm" everything was so warm and cold and whatever was running their fingers in my hair was lovely and so good that I couldn't help but let out sounds as I tried to move. Unfortunately, it felt as if someone was lying on my back."Good morning baby" I heard someone say in
