VivianI stood there stunned into silence, not knowing how to respond to his abrupt confession. I admit that I found him attractive and felt at ease with him, but I hadn't wandered as far as catching feelings for him.I looked at him, and I felt a bit guilty for what I was about to do. He was waiting, his eyes looking hopeful. But I had to stop this in its growing stages.“Richard, I...I'm sorry.” I said, the words tumbling out. “I shouldn't have brought up my marriage. It's my problem and I'll manage it.” Richard's eyes were fixed intently on mine with an unreadable expression. He swallowed pensively and nodded in understanding, “There's no need to apologize, Viv. I'm the one who should be sorry.” He said, his voice filled with regret. “I had no right to say what I did. Your marriage is your business and I should respect that.”I exhaled deeply, tears of relief in my eyes. “Thank you, Richard. I appreciate that. Let's just keep this between us, okay? I don't want this to complicat

VivianAs I approached Richard, I felt my cheeks redden, a subtle warmth spreading across my face. He gazed at me with an admiring expression, his eyes sparkling with genuine appreciation."Vivian, you look absolutely stunning tonight," Richard said, his British accent shining through as his voice sounded low and smooth. "Your hair is looking particularly healthy and luscious. I've never seen it shine like that before."I smiled, feeling a flutter in my chest at his kind words. "Thank you, Richard. That's very sweet of you."But he wasn't finished. "And your eyes, Vivian... they're like sapphires sparkling in the light. So bright, so beautiful. You really are a good sight for sore eyes tonight."I laughed out loud, my cheeks growing even hotter. "Richard, you're making me blush, stop teasing me."He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "But I'm just telling the truth, Vivian. You're a gorgeous woman, inside and out. This dress is perfect on you, accentuating all your lovely cu

VivianI stood there, frozen in shock, as the words cut through the room like a knife. I turned around and my eyes met hers and for a moment, we just stared at each other. It was no one other than the witch, Eve. I was taken aback by her presence, and I couldn't help but wonder what she was doing here. Her stare was filled with a mix of anger and resentment as she continued spewing out her lies."You're a two-timer, Vivian," she spat, her voice venomous. "Playing Richard here for a fool, just like you played your husband, Nate. You're a master manipulator, using people for your own gain."The room fell silent, and I felt embarrassed as I glanced around taking in the expressions of the people in the crowd. I felt my face burn with anger and shame. Why was she lying about me in front of all these people? I tried to speak, but my words caught in my throat.Richard's grip on my arm tightened. It was a silent show of support. "That's enough," he said, his voice firm.But Eve wasn't fini

Vivian's POV"You really are something, Vivian," he spat, his voice venomous. "I can't believe you humiliated me like that at the party."I dropped everything and stood up straight, my brows furrowed in a frown as Nate's anger washed over me. "I didn't humiliate you, Nate," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “You can't come in here, yelling at me, after what you did at the party."His face turned redder, his eyes bulging with anger. "You ignored me, Vivian," he growled. "You ignored me and flirted with Richard, right in front of me."I shook my head, incredulous. "I didn't ignore you, Nate. And I wasn't flirting with Richard. We were just talking."Nate's sneer was venomous. "Talking? Is that what they're calling it these days? Because from where I was standing, it looked like a lot more than just talking."I took a deep breath, trying to keep my temper in check. "Nate, stop. You're being ridiculous. And besides, I was ta

VivianI sat slumped in my office chair, feeling relieved that I was away from all the tension and drama at home. The day had just started but I already had all my energy sucked out of me.Despite how I felt, it was just another normal day at work, and I needed to finish all my tasks. I couldn't allow my dampened mood affect my work delivery.The clacking of the keyboard resounded in the office as I tapped away, getting engrossed with work.My phone rang, interrupting the flow. I glanced at the screen, the thin line of my brow jumping in surprise at the name that flashed. It was Richard. I seriously didn't know how I would react when I saw him after yesterday's disaster. “Good morning Vivian.” He greeted, his cool voice coming through the phone.”How are you doing this morning?”I responded, hiding the trepidation in my voice, “Good morning sir. I'm doing quite well.” “Could you please come over to my office?” He asked, calmly. I nodded, forgetting he couldn't see me. “Okay sir, I'l

VivianI stood in the restroom, bent over the wash basin, collecting my thoughts. The door suddenly swung open and the same lady walked in. Her eyes locked onto mine, and I could see the anger and resentment burning within them."You think you're so smart, don't you, Vivian?" she spat, her voice low and venomous. "But you're not. You're nothing but a fake, and a pretender. You do not belong here."I folded my arms across my chest in a defensive stance. "What's your problem, lady? Why are you so angry with me? You seem to have something against me."Her face twisted into a snarl. "You're my problem. You're always hovering around Richard, flirting with him, trying to steal him away from me."I shook my head, incredulous. “Steal him away from you?" Who the hell is she? Some mistress or something? I sighed tiredly because I wasn't ready for some extra drama. Especially not after escaping Nate's and Eve's successfully.She laughed, a cold, mirthless sound and took a few steps closer. “You

Chapter 67Vivian's POVI noticed how grave Richard's expression was, his eyes still fixed on mine with an intensity that made me shiver. This was not the Richard I thought I knew. I guess Nate was right after all. He was not who I thought him to be Without another word, he started the car and pulled out of the stopped position, continuing the drive. It was silent and tense as we drove, nearing our destination.As we drove into the parking lot, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I was glad to be back at the office, surrounded by familiar faces and places. The moment he pulled into the parking spot, I wasted no time as I quickly gathered my things, eager to escape the tense atmosphere and him. "Thanks for the ride, Richard," I said, my voice polite but distant.I walked away, I heard Richard call out behind me. "Vivian, please wait!" he gasped I turned to see him getting out of the car, a look of concern etched on his face. He walked towards me, his hands held up in a gesture o

VivianI looked up at her, directing a heated glare at her. She stood there, a smug expression on her face."Vivian, dear, I think it's time we had a little chat," she said, her voice dripping with condescension.I raised an eyebrow, wary of what she might say."You see, Vivian, I know all about your little situation with Richard," she said, her eyes glinting with malice. "And I must say, I'm shocked. Shocked that you would stoop so low leaving your husband to run after another man like that."I bristled at her tone, but she continued, undeterred."Let me make one thing clear, Vivian. If you don't quit this job and leave him alone, I will make your life a living hell. I will do everything in my power to destroy your reputation, to ruin your relationships, and to make sure you never work in this industry again."I smirked as I stood up from my seat. I could feel a headache coming in as I prepared a counter."I'm not afraid of you, Emily," I said, my voice steady.She laughed coldly as

VivianNate's frown only deepened. "What's going on, Vivian? Are you alright? I've been trying to reach you."I sighed, unsure of how to react. But Nate's concerned expression put me at ease.“I was just…working on something. I must have missed your calls or something,” I admitted vaguely, stepping aside to let him in.Nate's eyes narrowed as he entered. I shut the door and continued, "I'm fine by the way, thanks for asking. It's just been a long day."Nate stood, hands in pocket as he surveyed the room, his eyes staying on the laptop for a bit longer than necessary. As I looked closer at him, I noticed that something was off. He looked tired, his eyes sunken and his skin pale. I felt my concern reaching a filled out stage as I approached him worriedly."Nate, what's wrong?" I asked, my concern shifting to him. "You look exhausted."Nate sighed, rubbing his eyes. "I didn't sleep well last night. I've been having some trouble with...some things."I sensed that there was more to it, but

Vivian I was so enraged I was nearly panting as I stormed out of my office, the crumpled note still clutched in my hand. How dare Richard try to manipulate me like this? I was furious and confused. What was he thinking, sending me flowers and notes like he was my lover? I marched down the hallway, my heels clicking on the floor. The others stared at me like I had gone crazy but I didn't care. I couldn't wait to confront him, to demand answers. Why was he playing these games? What did he hope to achieve? I barged into his office, throwing the door open wide and slamming it behind me. Richard looked up from his desk, a smug smile spreading across his face. It was certainly not the reaction I expected. “Ah, Vivian. I see you got the flowers.” I stood facing him, my eyes blazing with anger. “What was the meaning of those flowers, Richard? You know I'm a married woman. What the hell do you think you are doing sending me romantic gestures and all sorts of things?” Richard's smil
