"What's taking him so long?" Vivian groaned restlessly.

There she was at the city park, under a tree that shielded her from the hot sun.

Despite the situation she and her family were facing, Vivian still made herself look wealthy in the eyes of anyone that passed by.

She wore a very attractive fitted black dress, with a shade to shield her eyes. She even had a scarf around her neck that reached her mouth level, almost covering it up.

Anyone who sees this would wonder if she's sick or being stupid, since they were in a hot weather and didn't need such.

But Vivian was protecting herself.

She knows she's familiar in public and didn't want anyone recognizing her after what happened to them at Edmund's company party.

That post of her and her family went wild to the point of causing embarrassment.

She turned around with her hand still protecting

    "Are you insane, Alphonse? How dare you utter such nonsense? !" Vivian sparked, finding Alphonse's words offensive.But Alphonse didn't care. He just dimmed his eyes at a raging Vivian, who was set to pounce on him with all her voice."Did you hit your head or drink some alcohol for you to utter that?

The one you blurted out without using your brain. Oh gosh! And here I thought you could help me out. I've forgotten who you truly are, " She insulted, glaring at Alphonse.The young man didn't care. He allowed Vivian to have her say, before he voiced out to her."Curse me all you can, I don't care. But if you think I'm lying, go to the company and ask the staff who their new boss is. It's no longer your father, " He said, pointing at Vivian midway. Vivian didn't want to accept Alphonse's words. To her, it was

    The temptation to reveal his identity kept itching Alphonse, but the young man had to hold himself back."Nah, it won't be sweet if she knows my identity now. I want to wait for some while, until the right time, " He decided, pulling out from the temptation.He looked at a curious Vivian and responded to her question, "I know someone that works there at Edmunds company. He told me about this since we used to be married."Vivian's ears sprang at what Alphonse said, seeing it as an understanding reason."He felt it would please me since...""Yeah, I get you," she interrupted, rolling her eyes.

    "Get my bag from the car you incompetent fool and stop staring at me like that" Ursula yelled at the new young man who had been hired two days ago to be her personal body guard and helping hand. "I'm sorry ma'm" he apologized quickly and ran to get her bag. "What's your name? Who hired you?" She asked him in pure anger but before he could reply she turned to the head of her staff, a grumpy looking burly man who stood far away. "Who hired him!" She yelled at the man who ran up to her. "I did" he replied her fearlessly. "What were you thinking hiring someone as useless as yourself?" She insulted the man who only rolled his eyes at her, he was used to her insults by now and was only working for the woman because he needed the money. "He is good at his job, he was recommended by an agency that is very good at recruiting body guards and personal assistants" he said and Ursula looked at him in disgust.

It was a week after their wedding and they were having their honeymoon in thier private beach house in Monaco, Italy. "Don't you just love how you boss me around?" He bent and kissed her, blocking the sun touching her body which was draped in a bikini. "Are you complaining?" She asked as her hand snaked around his neck and found its was into his hair. "Not at all my love" he said and kissed her again while Charlotte smiled. "How are you loving being back in your hometown?" He asked her as he came around her and sat on the beach bed, popping the lotion bottle open and getting ready to go to work. "My parents met here, and I am loving the fact that I came here with the man I love and married and plan on starting a future with" she said and started to untie the straps of her bikini.

    “You did that to my mother, ruined my life and my family’s and you have the nerve to stand before God and get married?” Vivian stumbled with a bottle of Alcohol towards the altar. “What is she doing here?” Charlotte asked getting angry at the sight of the other woman. “How did she get in here?” Carla asked dropping her bouquet of flower and stepping forward.

"Don't do that Carina, sit down" Everest was also holding Carina back. “Father, give us fifteen minutes. I need to get this sorted out” Alphonse said with a sigh.

    "Oh my Lord, you look absolutely gorgeous!" "Stunning!" "You think so?" Charlotte turned with a nervous smile. Both Jennifer, Paul's mother and Hannah, Alphonse's mother came into the room with praises. "We don't think so, we know so honey. You are the most beautiful bride I have seen in a while. Don't let Jillian hear this by the ways" Jennifer said and they all laughed.

    "Do you have plans for today?" Alphonse asked Charlotte as he kissed her lovingly.They had just had another bout of morning sex."Not really, I just plan on being lazy all day" she said and hooked one of her legs on his bare waist, their sweat and after sex juice rubbing against each other and staining the sheets."How about you being lazy about me?" He asked and kissed her again."Who else was I supposed to waste my day with?" She giggled as he burrowed his face into her neck."I'm glad I'm the only one on your mind" he said and kissed her cheek again."Mhmm" she laughed and licked her lips."Remember those sundresses you used to like back then?" He asked her and she turned in the bed to face him."Yes""Do you still like them?" He asked her and she smiled."Of course, they're my to go dresses when I want to relax and I planned on wearing one today.

He asked her as he sat down on the bed and placed the food tray gently on by her side."What a gentleman you are Mr Fischer" she said with a giggle."Indeed, to make up for the lost energy of last night" he said to her with a wink and she laughed."It's too early Alphonse" she said laughing "It past one in the afternoon" he told her and her eyes widened."What? I slept that long?" She asked and looked around for her phone or wristwatch."After effects of your little drink with friends" he said and she blushed, covering her face slightly."I had no idea it was going to hit that much, I'm starting to think I was laced. Besides you added to my exhaustion, taking me up against the shower while I stood, if you look at it from my view you also contributed" she said and Alphonse smiled proudly."As long as you are satisfied, I don't care how tired you become.

    Charlotte chuckled and opened another button. “You are jealous,” she said. "I am" he replied to her quickly with a soft nod. "Why..." she asked, smiling at him . "You know why" he said to her but caught a whiff of wine on her breath and that made him smile. He now knew where she got her confidence from tonight. A bottle. "Are you drunk?" He asked her. Charlotte nodded and stepped back away from him, not knowing what his reaction to that might be. But as she took a step back she swayed a bit and Alphonse reached his hand out to steady her. "I had a little to drink," she said, pinching her index finger and thumb together, showing the extent to which she drank. And that made Alphonse chuckle, she was safe from the truth, mainly because he saw the glaze in her eyes and her smile was too much. But the smile was dropping slowly. "It's been a rough couple of months and I just wanted a time out you know." She explained but Alphonse was looking at her in confusion. She thought Al

Cornelius yelled as shots fired continuously. "I am sorry it had to come to this" Geoffrey said "You will be sorry when I get my hands on you!" "I wanted to warn you but they had me confined till they were sure they had got to you. Are you okay ...? Are those shots?" Geoffrey's voice went up very loudly. "You make sure you lose the name "Hall" you don't belong to me and you cease to exist the minute you sell me out" Cornelius warned him as a bullet flew past him and stuck in the windshield of the car Levi was speeding through the dust. "Father I am so sorry, if I had known I would get to this I would not have. I was tired of that prison and they said they were only going to capture you" Geoffrey was becoming afraid for his father.
