"It's about time you sign those damned papers!" Vivian's sweet sinister voice filled the room as her heels clanked with every step she took.The moment Geoffrey heard her voice his mind filled with dread and the hate reminder he had for her.All through the weekend he kept thinking how his life would be different if he had not married her or came across her.He was blinded by her beauty and greed.Geoffrey had decided to let go of what he had with her and now he was back to her house and was packing his things before her maid had brought the divorce papers for him to sign before he left."The witch awakes" he muttered loud enough for her to hear."Don't you agree this witch looks pretty this morning?" She said with a smile as she approached him "This witch is getting back on her feet and making a comeback" she said and circled him.It was like a predator and prey situation because Vivian had something up her sleeves and Geoffery was oblivious to it."I'll be out of here in no time. Gi

Alphonse waited for the usual knock on his door announcing someone he had gotten used waiting for, but none was forthcoming.And waiting had not done him any good for the past few days so today also, he sighed and went to freshen up for the day like he had been doing for the last few days."Is Charlotte back?" Alphonse asked Peter as he headed downstairs and towards the kitchen that the girl was always hiding herself in.Peter followed him hot on his heels as was the matter that he was about to bring up."Sir, she took the week off because her father is sick and it's just been five days. She will be back by Monday" Peter informed him."Right. I was thinking she would change her mind and come early" Alphonse nodded as he scanned the kitchen.Since the day after the masquerade party Charlotte had made avoiding him the most important part of her job, at one point he almost broke the professionalism between he and her by confronting her but she quickly evaded it as usual.What increased

“Join us for dinner Peter. I am happy tonight and given my attitude for the past few days, I’m using this gesture as a means of apologizing. You deserve to be happy too, so join us” Alphonse said as the substitute maid in place of Charlotte set the table for their supper.“Of course sir” Peter said and drew a chair for himself.“Now Mother, I had them prepare your favorite dish and there’s also some tenderly cooked and marinated steak if you want some. And oh there’s some chicken breast, you can have everything to your fill tonight” Alphonse went on talking as Hannah stared on at him with a loving smile.Hannah stretched her hand out to his side and placed her hand on top of his to slow him down a bit.Alphonse stopped what he was doing and turned to smile at her.“You’re happy” she pointed out and it was true and very obvious.Alphonse nodded quickly with glee “You’re here, I should be” he said.“I’m glad you’re happy” she said and caressed his hand in a loving manner.Alphonse laugh

“You have to share it equally” Ursula complained as soon as Alphonse entered his study.Today after a series of caution from Peter, Alphonse was deciding to act civilized today. So he invited them to his personal study, but not before having his lawyer give them a brief on the disadvantages they had regarding the case theyl brought up.And thus, that prompted Ursula's whining and a deep scowl from Paul as soon as he entered the room. Alphonse looked at the deceitful mother and stolen son and he let out a small chuckle at the fraudulent act before addressing them.“We are just getting started Ursula. Have a sit” He pointed to the seat and Ursula snickered before sitting down."Whatever this is, better be worth my time" she muttered aloud as she lowered herself inside the soft plush seat."I can assure you it will be worth every while" Alphonse said with a smile and a brief nod.“I got your stupid message through my lawyer yesterday” Ursula said as soon as she was seated with her son.

“He’s in the building”“What’s he doing?” Alphonse asked the informant on the phone.He had paid someone to have Ivan Robinson, the crackhead junior brother of Vivian Robinson, follow.And that was what he was doing now.The younger man was the easiest option to tail and the best person to infiltrate the family from, Thomas had become a vegetable at the hospital and Margaret had eyes and ears on the ground.While nobody had heard from Vivian in days, she was too depressed and ashamed to come outside or be seen in public, since her famous family had become the laughing stock of the town.“He’s meeting up with Cornelius, they are taking out a trade” The informant told Alphonse.“Good, take as much evidence as you can. Give me something worth your pay” Alphonse said to the man over the phone“Yes sir” The man whose name he had refused to tell because of professionalism and secrecy, nodded as though Alphonse was there to see him.“Keep me posted” Alphonse said and ended the call as soon a
