UNEXPECTED SPARKLES AND BUTTERFLIES Chapter 3
Chapter 3Rebecca couldn't tell whether it was the morning sun that woke her up, or the aroma of something delicious downstairs.Her eyes still closed and she stayed in bed, she smiled. She knew it was her brother creating the edible magic that heightened her senses with warmth and excitement.She sighed and sat up on her bed. She covered her eyes from the morning as she stood up to close the blinds. She then took a long stretch and an involuntary yawn followed immediately. She couldn't even tell whether she felt refreshed or if she was more tired than she was last night.She took herself out of the room and walked downstairs to the kitchen. And just as she thought, her brother was the one cooking."Well well well... Who do we have here in the kitchen?", She teased.He turned back, surprised to see Rebecca standing behind her."Becks? I didn't even know you were awake. Was I loud?", He asked as he too his focus back to what he was cooking."No no, not at all. Infact, it was the aroma o

Chapter 4"I'm sorry I can't you to the airport myself. As much as I want to, they really need me at the company" "I understand. I'll just take an Uber to the airport. I'll call you when you reach there" "That sounds good. I'm going to miss you", he smiled. "I'll miss you more", she returned and hugged him. "Please don't forget to pick Vivian from the airport later in the evening. She told me that the plane will arrive by six. I've given her your number, so she'll call you when you get lands." "I'll try not to", he teased. "And one more thing..." "What's it this time, Rebecca?", He groaned. "Nothing much... I was just wondering what was going on with your love life" "Are we really going to discuss that now?, You realize the plane doesn't wait for you, right?" "I have literally an hour to get there", she frowned. "But then, the traffic-" "Don't change the topic, Anthony. I can't remember the last time I heard you talk about a lady in your life, or seen you with one. You neve

Chapter 5"Okay. We're here", Anthony announced as he drove into his compound and stopped the car. They both came out and he noticed she was observing the house. From the look on her face, she didn't look like she was particularly admiring it. "Let's get inside", he said and he got the door open. They both entered the house and he saw that she was still checking out the house in silence. "So... Do you like it?", He asked. She kept silent for a couple of seconds before turning to him. "No" Anthony was stunned by her response. "What? W... Why?" "I've never been to a house so dull. The only colours I see is black and white. You don't even have anything that has color in your living room. You have the same paint colors for your exterior. Just black and white. All your cars are black, your walls are white. On the inside, your walls are white, and your furnitures are black. Your house has no life whatsoever in it. I've been to smaller house that have less eyesore paint colors. Your

Chapter 6"What?" "I said, I have an important appointment I need to go to this morning, and you need to take me there", she repeated as she picked up her phone to check the time. "Urghh... I'm late", she announced unenthusiastically, still standing. "B... But, you're still in your pyjamas! You don't look like you have anywhere to go to in the next week! Plus, you just arrived yesterday. How is it possible that you know anywhere?", He questioned. "Exactly. I don't know my way around this city, so I need you to take me to the place. I saw an opportunity for a gig online, and when I applied, they gave me an address for an interview. So I need to be there as soon as possible", she said with a loud yawn. Anthony had never seen somebody say something and make a gesture that expresses the exact opposite of what she said like Vivian. "Vivian, I'm going to be late for work! If you knew that you needed to go somewhere today, and that you needed me to take you there, why didn't you wake up
UNEXPECTED SPARKLES AND BUTTERFLIES Chapter 7
Chapter 7"Vivian!!", He exclaimed in shock. He called her name so loud, she jerked up from the bending position she was in. "Oh, you're here! I didn't even see it hear you walk in" "Wh... What's all this mess?!", He questioned, complete horror in his eyes as he scanned his room with his eyes. Since the very first day he bought this house and started living in it, his loving room had never been this scattered. Infact, the word "scattered" was an understatement of the situation of his living room. He was standing in total chaos!! Everywhere he looked, he saw rumpled and squeezed papers. If the papers were not not rumpled, they were lying dormant with something written on it. Pasted on his sofas and couches were small, colorful small notes. He also saw her shoes and bags on the centre table. "Oh, I'm sorry... The firm that held the interview asked the applicants to make their best blog work. They asked us to come up with an three-thousand word article of a topic I'd never handled
UNEXPECTED SPARKLES AND BUTTERFLIES Chapter 8
Chapter 8Two days had passed, and Anthony decided to have a talk with Vivian. He tried all he could to hold his anger down last night. After the conversation with his sister, he decided that he wasn't going to endure living with someone in his own house. And if he wanted to do that, they were going to have a conversation. He waited for her to come down stairs, and she finally came down for some coffee. And as usual, she looked like she'd just escaped an alien invasion. "Why do you always look like that in the morning?", He couldn't help but ask. "Like what?", She frowned. "Like a zombie", he replied her. "Wow. Thank you so much for the compliment, Anthony. You don't look to bad yourself", she replied in sarcasm as she walked past him. "Well, I wanted us to talk", he said. "About what?", She groaned as she took the coffee can from the drawer and poured some of it into the brewing machine. He opened his mouth to speak, but he got quite stunned by the amount of coffee she was bre

Chapter 9"What is wrong with this lady?! But she want me to die of heart attack?! Why won't she answer her calls?!", He swore in anger and threw his phone across the couc It was 12:30pm, and Anthony was pacing from one end of the living room to anothe Although he had a not-so-great conversation with Vivian earlier in the day, and he didn't get her to sign the document, he didn't know that she'd start breaking the rules toda It was way past the curfew, but she was nowhere to be found. He saw her leave the house after the argument they had, and he guessed that she had a gig to attend to, but he didn't know what gig would keep Vivian out by this tim He tried her number for the upteenth time, but as the other attempts went, she wasn't answering her phone.

UNEXPECTED SPARKLES AND BUTTERFLIES Chapter 10
Chapter 10The screeching sound of the cotton blinds getting opened woke Vivian woke up from her sleep, and the sunlight that attacked her was unexpected. It looked like the intensity of the sun had tripled, only to blind her. "Who got the window opened? Get them closed!", She groaned in misery as she shielded her eyes from the sun with her heavy hands. The intensity of the light was adding more pangs to her throbbing headache. She'd forgotten that she usually had really hurtful hangovers after a night of drinking. "Good morning! You need to wake up", she heard Anthony greet as he walked away from the cotton blinds without shutting them back. "Keep you voice low and shut the window for me, would you!", She wailed tiredly as she covered her entire body with the duvet, only for Anthony to fling it off. "Anthony!! Stop being a jerk and let me sleep in peace!! I'm not a morning person like you", she whined. "That's good to know, but it's not morning. It's a few minutes past two. This

chapter 20Vivian didn't know what it was, but she instantly had a strong dislike for this so-called governor's daughter.Moreso, while Anthony was giving the run down moments ago, he never mentioned that they saw or knew each other. Of course, he'd be familiar enough with them, seeing as he knew enough to give a rundown. But it looked like they knew each other well. Too well. Well enough have exchange pecks and kisses."How have you been? It's been a while since we last met", Vivian asked."I've been holding up just fine. You look beautiful tonight", he commented."And you still look as handsome as ever. You still hold the position for the most handsome man I've ever seen", she returned with an elegant smile."Oh please. That's too much", he said, and Vivian watched as his face reddened with blush, while she tried stopping hers from reddening with envy."Awwn. They still look like the cutest couple ever. Just look at them", Margaret Peterson commented and the group laughed. All excep

Chapter 19"Okay. We're about to meet a bunch of very important people for me, and I want to give you a quick round down of what their life looks like, just Incase", he said and sipped his wine as they walked closely, side by side.Despite the fact that Vivian had calm down from the vigor she got from the death ride minutes ago, she still felt her heart besting at a ridiculously high rate. She didn't know what was happening, but this was the first time she'd been this close to Anthony, and she'd never felt this way before. Not only was her heart racing, but it felt like she was receiving sone heat from Anthony's skin."Vivian! Are you even listening?", He jolted her back to her senses."Of... Of course. Of course, I am", she put her focus back into the party."Okay. First of all, don't stare and give glances at the people I'm talking about. Do you understand?""Yep""Good. Now, to your far left, you'll see a group of people talking at table 203-""Where? Where??", She took a sharp tur

chapter 18"What?", Anthony took his eyes off the road and stared at Vivian, who had a crooked smile on her face as she stepped on the pedal. The sudden increase in speed pulled him back, and he was forced to put his eyes back on the road."Vivian, easy on the pedal! Do you want us to die?!", He questioned, shocked at how reckless she was driving.The sudden craze that had he saw in Vivian's eyes temporarily took his mind off what she said earlier.Right now, he was scared that he would lose his life to this maniac."Fuck, my seatbelt is not even on me...", He muttered as he frantically grabbed the seatbelt behind him, dragged webbing across his trunk and locked the metal tongue the buckle.He gripped the roof handle and kept on begging Vivian to stop driving with so much speed."Vivian, this is not a movie... This is real life, and we'll die if you keep driving like a maniac! We might not make it to the dinner party due to your reckless driving!! Please!!", Anthony pleaded with ever

Chapter 17"Vivian, I need your help!", Anthony yelled as burst through her door and barged into her room."Woah! Can't you knock?! What if I was naked?!", She questioned, trying to calm herself from that jump scare."I'm sorry, but this is a matter of urgency", he begged."What's the problem?", She asked."There's a dinner party I'm supposed to be at in the next thirty minutes. It's a meeting with a lot of esteemed guests and a lot of powerful people. Everyone usually tries to show up with a partner by their side. When one shows up with a lady, it shows that you're in a serious relationship or married, and that elevates your status amongst the rest of the guests. I usually show up with my sister to pretend to be my lover, but she's away for her masters...""So... What's my business with the dinner party?", Vivian asked, knowing fully well where Anthony was going with this."I need someone to go with Vivian, if you know what I mean...", He hinted to her.She was going to make sure she

Chapter 16Vivian slowly made her way downstairs, her footsteps echoing through the quiet house. As she descended the stairs, the aroma of something delicious wafted into her nose, causing her stomach to growl in hunger. Curious, she followed the scent, which led her straight to the kitchen.There, she found Anthony, standing by the stove, deeply engrossed in the activity surrounding him. Pots and pans clinked against each other, and the sizzle of something frying filled the air. Vivian's eyes widened as she took in the scene, realizing that Anthony was cooking up a storm."Anthony, what's all this?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise.He turned his head, greeting her with a frown before going back to what he was cooking. "What does it look I'm doing to you?".Vivian probably deserved that.Two days had gone by, and Anthony hadn't spoken to her since she brought him from the hospital and spilled some juice on him. She'd already concluded in her that she was a little bit clumsy.

Chapter 15"Mr. Anthony? Are you awake? Can you see me now?", A distant looming voice called continuously to him. He slowly fluttered his eyes open to see a weird looking man in a whit lab coat standing over him."Good. You're awake now", the man said with a sigh of relief.Anthony craned his neck looking around. He couldn't recognize where he was."Wh... Where am I?", He managed to let out in a mere whisper."You're in the hospital. You were admitted here last night after you passed out from taking a plate of lasagna that had some garlic, which you're allergic to. You're started developing rather serious symptoms to the point where you passed out. Thankfully, you were brought in a ambulance. We managed to stabilize you later that night, but gave you some sleeping pills so you would wake up this morning", the doctor explained.Slowly, memories of what happened happened to him came to mind."You need to thank this young lady here...", He pointed to the woman at the corner of the room
UNEXPECTED SPARKLES AND BUTTERFLIES chapter 14
Chapter 14Vivian quickly took out the lasagna out of the oven and placed a portion into a clean plate. Her heart pounding in her chest, she ran to the dining room, where she placed the meal and a cup of water beside it. She nervously walked to living room and she caught sight of the shattered totem lying at a corner of the living room. She cleared everything into a bag just before Anthony walked in.As soon as Anthony stepped in, he sensed something was off. He looked around the living room, but he couldn't exactly tell what was wrong. He was tired of living like this, and it was all thanks to his "lively" roommate. He shook his head as he concluded that there was nothing wrong and it was just his prejudicial instincts.Immediately he stepped him, the aroma of lasagna met his nose. At that point, Vivian came out of the kitchen."Hey! I didn't know you were back! How was work?!", With a grin almost touched both her ears, she walked towards him a hugged him as she took his briefcase f

Chapter 2At the sound of the announcement, Vivian immediately yanked her hand away from the weird looking man they called Morris Cain."Did I just hear you right?""It depends. If you heard us introduce him to you as your husband, then yes. You heard us right", he said with a straight face."Mr. Morris, meet our daughter and your bride-to-be, Vivian Carson. I hope she meets your taste", her mother asked Morris."Oh, yes I am. I'm really satisfied with what I'm seeing her. She would make a great wife", he smiled with pride, and the scar around his jaw got larger.As they ranted on about her features and how she would make a great housewife, Vivian's stomach churned and her intestines twisted badly.What kind of joke was this? Or was she in a bad dream? How could they talk about her like she wasn't even a living thing that had a right to choose?!"Vivian, I want you to spend some time with him and get to know him better, so you'll be following him home tonight.

UNEXPECTED SPARKLES AND BUTTERFLIES Chapter 1
After a long, boring day of work, Vivian finally drove into her parents' mansion.To the outside eye, one would think Vivian Carson was living the best life. The only child to the Carson family which was doing quite well for themselves; Her dad was a businessman, and her mum was a retired model. Her dad got her new cars of her choice every year, she graduated out of the best college, and took on the best trips money could afford. She ate the best food, and had everything she needed and wanted at her beck and call. What could get better?But Vivian felt this kind of life was a curse. She hated the life she had.The thing with being the only daughter to an influential businessman was that everything about her was decided by someone else. She never had a choice of her own. From when she was little, she wasn't allowed to eat some meals, as they were considered to be eaten by the average people. Her mum picked the best clothes for her to wear, and she didn't care if it was too tight or, to
