"What kind of joke is this, Vivian? Do you think this is the time to be cracking such silly jokes? Ivan sparked at his sister, still feeling scared over what she said."Are you out of your senses, Vivian? The condition your father is in isn't enough for you, that you want to place me in bed as well? " Margaret accused, glaring at her daughter.They both didn't want to give Vivian the chance to speak. To them, she wants to spark fear in their body. But knowing that what she saw wasn't a game, Vivian yelled at both her mother and brother, " Be quiet and listen to me!""No you listen. It's best if you leave for your place. If you hadn't distracted your husband from withdrawing that money, your father won't be in this mess, " Margaret sniveled, showing her sadness towards Thomas' condition.But this only made Vivian angry with them."Haven't you done enough for a day? Just leave," Ivan ordered his sister, trying to show his power as the senior between him and Vivian.But as stubborn as s
"Look at them. And they came to arrest our boss.""Do they think the world revolves around them? ""Stupid family. They finally got what they deserve.""I have to take a pic of this before they leave. "The staff watching and passers by, who had noticed the commotion, mocked Vivian and her family.They had their phones out, just to take pics and upload on the internet, so many would laugh at the fallen family.When Ivan saw this he immediately got into his car to hide his face from the cameras. He couldn't afford to allow his reputation to be ruined. "Mom! " Vivian called, pulling her mother with her, and putting her in Ivan's car. Vivian had seen what Ivan did. She even noticed he was able to start the car and move, if not that she opened the vehicle to place their mother inside. She just didn't have his time yet. When Margaret was in the car, Ivan drove off with Vivian following from behind with her own vehicle. She took one more look at the company, the workers, the police men
Feeling all fired up and desperate to help her home, Vivian decided to leave to get herself ready to help them out.She dashed out of the house and into her car, driving out of the premises, with hopes of finding more solutions to her family problem."Yes, if we sell off some items, we could get some money to help the home and pay the bank. That way my parents won't be on the street, " She reasoned while driving.While she was moving, Vivian noticed a familiar car parked at a junction, outside a hotel."Wait, why does that car look like Ivan's? " She suspected, looking at the car. But when the sound of car horns came from behind, Vivian took her mind away, driving ahead. "Whatever. I don't care what that asshole does with his life. He doesn't care about the home after all," She scoffed, driving off.Soon, Vivian arrived home, taking her mind to an account of hers in the bank. That account has some money in it. It's not up to ten million, but it can help support her family, just to s
Geoffrey still had Vivian in his hold, embracing her like he's the best husband in the entire universe.Carefully, he lifted her head to look in her eyes, repeating the words I'm sorry, to soothe and sway her heart into accepting him back again."I promise I won't hurt you again. From now on, I'll put you first before anything. After all, you're my sweet heart, " Geoffrey said, wiping the tears in her eyes.His words were swaying Vivian, who couldn't stop blushing. She buried herself in Geoffrey's arms, feeling better.If only she had a top eye to see how he has been staring at her cheque book for long while sweet talking her into forgiving him.To get to the bottom of this, Geoffrey, being Vivian's Prince Charming, escorted to their bed, so she'd have a seat with him. She sniffed, wiping the remaining droplets from her eyes, when Geoffrey said, "It's not as if I don't care about your family. They are also mine."His eyes lingering from her face to the cheque book then back to her fa
Since she couldn't meet with her parents the previous day, Vivian decided to go today.She had woken up all alone without Geoffrey in bed with her. According to the servants, he went to work early. Vivian admired this about her lovely husband, and she decided to treat him to a special dinner when he returns home tonight. Getting all dressed, Vivian left her home for her parents, feeling excited to tell them about the plans she and Geoffrey had made for them. "No, I shouldn't tell them yet. I don't want their hopes to rise too much. It's going to be a surprise when the money comes back multiplied, " She believed, seeing a brighter future for them.As she drew closer to the mansion, Vivian noticed something about the front.Their cars, some were missing already. Vivian pulled into her parents' compound and began to hear yelling coming from inside. "What was that? " She panicked, rushing out of her car.Vivian went into her home and was surprised to see the servants in one corner, w
Alphonse smiled to himself as he composed the message. He was sending a message to Vivian telling her about her husband, Geoffrey’s recreational activities. -Your husband is at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino right now, with two nice young ladies. That’s where he has been allthrough last night and today- Although he wished to make Vivian feel a fraction of his pain; the pain he got from loving her despite her family’s mistreatment of him, till she betrayed him and revealed how she really felt; he still felt he was doing her a favour.Afterall Geoffrey was only going to continue squandering her money on make money quick schemes. Giving her a reason to get rid of him would only benefit her.Who ever said that he wasn’t a magnanimous man?Alphonse been curious of Geoffrey, the man who Vivian chose over him. He did some background research on him by hiring a private investigator, Solomon Martins.Keeping through to his reputation, Martins had uncovered the dirty foundation that Geoffrey t
Vivian stared at the pictures with shock on her face.She couldn’t believe that this was happening to her.Geoffrey would never do this right?She burst into tears.“This has to be a lie!”Vivian decided to place a call to Geoffrey once again. She dialed his number with shaking hands.Ring RingAfter try to call him persistently for 5 minutes, someone answered.“Who this sorry?” It was the voice of a young girl. She sounded out of breath.Vivian could hear the beat of loud music in the background.The bastard! Can’t work in a dull environment right?“It’s Vivian, Geoffrey’s wife!”She heard a commotion in a background. She listened closely and could hear the faint conversation.“Hey give me that…” It sounded like , but the voice was too faint to be sure.“Hey hello, Vivian what’s up. I told you I was working. Sorry my em… secretary picked it up.” Geoffrey stopped after his short speech to catch his breath.“You bastard!” Vivian started crying again.“You cheating bastard! Aren’t I goo
Alphonse took a sharp left as he drove to the Fischer mansion. It was one of the biggest houses in the Garden district. Peter gripped the chair, scared to be moving at such speeds at his old age. Alphonse had been driving at speeds of over 80kmph, and it was doubly outrageous because the speed limit in the area was 40kmph.Alphonse slowed down as he approached the gate. It was over 20ft tall and gave the sense of impenetrability.He slowed down.Peter let out a sigh of relief.As they approached the gate, Alphonse blew his car horn. Almost immediately, the gate fell open slowly. It was opened by two big intimidating men, their firearms clearly displayed.“What a warm welcome.” Alphonse said, amused.Peter let out an inaudible grunt as he released his death grip on the chair and collected himself.The mansion was huge, with five floors. It was reminiscent of a medieval castle.Alphonse parked in the part of the front of the mansion, on the area designated beside the field. The field c
