Alphonse drove to his mansion at 60kmph in his blood red Ferrari.He had decided to slow down after seeing Peter’s constant plight and relenting. He didn’t really like going so slow, it was reminiscent of how he always felt restricted by his love all those years. He made a few turns, his mind occupied then he heard a fake cough from Peter. He gave Peter a quick glance, encouraging him to talk.“Master, about what happened at the Fischer household…”“They are all idiots, don’t bother. Is there any legal action they can take against us?”“None that I know of, but they are full of surprises. A jack-in-the-box full of snakes, you might say.”“You should be poetic more often, Peter. You could probably have competed with Shakespeare.” Alphonse joked, his expression amused.“You flatter me Master.”“Yeah, why do you call me Master anyway?” Alphonse glanced at the junction where there was a crossing for incoming traffic. His Rolex reflected the sun into his face. He adjusted it, by shaking
Vivian lay on her bed, motionless.The tears on her face had dried off.She had entered a coma-like sleep for a few minutes. Everything had gotten too much and she needed to shut down for a while. Vivian just couldn’t comprehend why Geoffrey would treat her like that. Back in the day when she had been married to that guy, Geoffrey always treated her like a queen.Geoffrey made her feel things that Alphonse could never hope to. It was a ironic that her relationship with Geoffrey had flourished when she was still married to Alphonse. Alphonse was a loser who just made Geoffrey look even better.She could remember how Geoffrey would take her to parties and they would have a wonderful time. After the party they would get a room and spend the night drinking and having sex.Vivian had gotten married to Alphonse before she was fully aware of the existence of other men. From there she had been asked out by many men who she had all found not up to her developing taste. It was those same men
Alphonse was speechless, although he tried hiding his momentary surprise.A beautiful lady stood behind him. She was dressed in the staff maid apron, but she made it look regal.She had beautiful green eyes that seemed to stare into his soul as if saying, “I know your hidden desires and I can make them come true.”She arched her brow slightly at Alphonse. A light smile on her full lips.“Master Alphonse, your dinner is prepared.” Her smile lit up the room more than the sun. She seemed amused at something. Something on his face maybe?“You seem occupied with all those books Sir. Would you like for me to serve you now or later.”“Serve me now.” Alphonse felt a slight blush on his face as he came back to his senses, or whatever was left of them. He had been staring at her weirdly. He never knew he had a thing for red-heads until now.Or maybe she’s just the sort of girl that creates preferencesAlphonse cleared his throat theatrically.“Yes please drop the food down here, I’ll take the
“Take me to the best grocery store you know.”“That’s a really strange request lady.” The taxi cab driver looked at Vivian through his rear view mirror.“Alrighty though. I guess we’ll be going straight to the Oasis fresh market down town then.”He turned on the engine. The radio began to give out background static.“That place is expensive anyway. Completely overrated if you asked me.” The cab driver took out a cigarette from his glove box and lighted.Vivian wondered whether his rugged beard might light on fire. Surely it would be too good to be true.“I didn’t ask you.”The driver gave a driver laugh and moved the car.They drove through busy highways. Car drivers constantly blaring their horns at one another. The whole place felt congested.Vivian was extremely pissed off with this development It was a particularly busy road on the Tulsa highway and Vivian wasn’t for it.She had never actually experienced anything this annoying, because she had always had maids who experienced i
Alphonse and Peter had left the library and went to the garden to have their private discussion.“So you kept the will in my Father’s secret safe.”“Yes Master, I was aware of the importance of the will, so I deigned it imperative to keep it safely.”“Alright Peter, that was a good move, but I would rather it be kept closer so I could keep an eye on it.”Alphonse kicked a stone that lay on his garden path. “That will is most likely going to be the main point of attack from the Fischer family.” “That reminds me, Peter please begin the procedure to change my name to Edmund.” Alphonse said while snapping his finger.“I shall do that at my earliest convenience Master, excellent choice.”“So is there anything else I need to know about this will case? I don’t want to entrust everything to my team of lawyers. They aren’t loyal to me but only to my money, and that means they can be bought.”“Now that you mention it Master, there is something else that has slipped my mind so far.”“Spill it.
Vivian lay face down on the hard ground.She can smell the trash bin not too far from her spot but she doesn’t try getting up.Tears from her eyes help clean the floor a little bit.Vivian is overwhelmed by the embarrassment she just experienced. Never could she have thought something like this would ever happen. Ever since Vivian could remember, she always got what she wanted, from Alphonse to Geoffrey. Now everything she had was slipping away from her.What did she ever do to deserve this?Vivian collected herself after a few minutes and got up. No longer able to bear the smell from the trash bin, she dusted her clothes and walked away. As Vivian was walking through the parking lot, she wanted desperately to cover her face, but she had nothing to help her with that. She simply bowed her head low and walked on.Vivian ordered a Bolt before she reached the street.The Bolt arrived in less than 3minutes.Vivian guessed that it must be because she was down town. She was grateful anywa
Alphonse lay on his bed in full night wear.He had gone to bed after eating dinner with Peter.He shifted on the bed. It was extremely comfortable , so comfortable that it had felt bizarre the first time he laid on it. He was used to it now, as it was his right.He remembered the video that he had ordered posted about Vivian’s humiliation.It had quickly gone viral as social media quickly recognized who it was in the video.The video had hit 30million views in 5hours.Alphonse hoped that Vivian enjoyed her fame, because she deserved to be famous like that.Let the world know who she truly is.Alphonse decided to think of the sunny part of the day, Charlotte.He started at his stylized bedroom ceiling, depicting classical art.How would Charlotte’s skin feel on his fingers when both of them lay on this bed, staring at the ceiling together. Alphonse quickly banished the thoughts from his mind. He didn’t want to get ahead of himself.Alphonse fell asleep thinking of Charlotte’s smile.I
Vivian stood with Geoffrey in the master bedroom of the house. “So you couldn’t get the groceries yesterday.” Margaret told her daughter in a matter-of-fact manner. Her eyes looked disappointed. “Was that too much for you?” “I’m sorry mother, it didn’t…” Vivian was caught off abruptly. “If Geoffrey didn’t get us some food then what would Vivian? I can’t believe that you’re married to Geoffrey but won’t learn a thing or two.” Thomas lay on the bed in a half seated position, his back rested on the bed frame. “Geoffrey is like a son to us and he would help us recover the money we lost. You should treat him better.” Mr. Thomas added, his voice was in a monotone, without emotion. “It’s alright Mr. Thomas, Vivian is doing the best she can. It’s not her fault that she was compared to me.” Vivian looked ashamed with her head bowed. Geoffrey was about talking when he received an emergency message alert on his phone. He took the phone outside of his pocket and unlocked it. Geoffrey’s
