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
“You lost the money? What do you mean you lost the money?” Vivian screamed at Geoffrey. She was panicking and becoming hysterical."How could you have been so careless! Didn't you see what you were getting into? Now all the money is gone!" She screamed and raked her hand through her hair.She was finding it hard to believe "Please wake me up. Wake me up and tell me this is a dream please", Vivian smacked her face harshly.Her hopes of living lavishly and recovering her parents' money back had just vanished from her eyes and she was down to ground level.Her father was now bedridden and her plans og making a comeback after her humiliation were gone.“You saw what happened. It was not my fault, I was scammed”. Geoffrey tried to defend himself as he looked on at a very distressed Vivian in annoyance.She was making him take the blame even though he knew she was only with him for the money and now that it was gone he knew she and her family were going to treat him the same way they treat
Chapter 46 "Oh Alphonse, I've missed you so much" Vivian threw herself at Alphonse the minute she saw him."Did you miss me?" She said in a very sultry voice as she caressed his face and touched him all over.Alphonse remained stoic and unmoving. "Come on in" He said and stepped back, breaking the hug and pushing her away as politely as he could.He hated her and wanted her to suffer but he could not treat her harshly or roughly, he still respected her as a woman he once loved.Vivian felt let him go awkwardly and looked at the house, her mouth started to drop in awe and surprise and a quick flash or regret briefly passed her eyes."You own this?" She said in almost a whisper and a question she wanted answer to.The magnificent house with marble designs everywhere and expensive arts and artifacts laying around made the house look like a state of the art work.The green scenery from the outside complimented the inside with soft cool breeze and the only noise which could be heard was
“Do you know what it felt to be continuously labeled a leech when all I did was love you and stuck with you?” Alphonse said and Vivian's eyes widened in guilt."Alphonse what are you saying? That's not it at all, you're taking this the wrong way baby" she reached over and tried to hold his hand and Alphonse eyed at her hand in irritation before pulling it away abruptly."I know they called you a leach but you have to understand that it was a joke. Don't you have a sense of humor to see the joke? We were all fine with it, weren't you? You stayed with me because you knew it was a joke right?" Vivian was pitifully trying to make an attempt to turn the tables around or manipulate Alphonse like before.Little did she know the love he had for her which blinded him from seeing all those wicked things that he endured for her was far gone now, all he had was as hatred for her and her family."You were fine with the "joke" he made air quote with his fingers, "you were fine with the joke but I n
“Now back to why you’re here” Alphonse said sweetly to her, his smile was not matching his vile words."Alph..." Vivian stuttered as her heart started to heave with tears, for the past two days she had been in high panic. If this kept up she was going to develop a high blood pressure, she thought."Yes Vivian, I'm all ears" Alphonse replied to her sweetly."I just... I just need help. I need my money back" she whispered and started crying. "I need my money back and I need my father's company back, I want my life back!""Youre getting ahead of yourself Vivian, I'm not God. I can't help you with all that. Be specific, what do you want" Alphonse asked "I don't know!" She cried, from confusion to panic to fear, Vivian was feeling every emotion."I'm not surprised" Alphonse muttered and rolled his eyes."Relax and let me break down how all this has come to be and right after I'm done, I will offer you the best solution you can ever need. I'm here to help" Alphonse said and Vivian dabbed h
“How did he get rich?” Margaret said as she stepped over the scattered clothes of Vivian laying on the floor.The blinds were closed the room was a mess, all her maids had quit after the news that the family was going bankrupt went viral.After Margaret did not hear from her daughter in days she decided to check up on her and came to a mess sprawled in the middle of the bed with a bottle of alcohol to comfort herself.“I don’t know mother” Vivian slurred words came out weakly as she tried to cover her eyes from the rays of sunlight that penetrated her eyes after Margaret opened the windows."Sit the fuck up and tell me what happened. You look a mess, this is not how I raised you and you can't embarrass me like this. What if the paparazzi came in or I came with one of my friends. You look like shit Vivian Marie Robinson, sit the fuck up now!" She yelled at her daughter and Vivian picked herself up lazily from her position on the bed."Put on something and ditch that bottle now" Marget
"Peter , how does this tie look?" Alphonse asked as he placed a red tie on his neck, while Peter stood diligently behind him. "It's lovely sir, but I think the black tie would fit more. It suits your mask well" Peter said. "Let's see" Alphonse picked up the black tie and tried it on " Okay, it's the best option. You have a good eye Peter thank you." He nodded as she decided to settle for the black material. They stayed in silence as he fixed his tie to perfection, when he was satisfied he nodded again as his mind went somewhere else. "Do you think she'll come? She was indecisive about the invitation" Alphonse said to Peter as his mind drifted to the request he made the day before. "We'll see sir. We can never understand women" Peter said. Alphonse nodded in silence and started to fix his cufflinks in front of the mirror. "She's beautiful," Alphonse said, smiling fondly as her face came to his mind. He chuckled slowly and arranged his suit one last time. "You sound quite
Four years later “Liana you better stop running or you will fall!" Charlotte called out to her four years old daughter who ran outside as he brother chased her giggling. The twin brother came wheezing past his mother as she gathered their toys which they left haphazardly all over the living room. “Adrian come here right now and put on this jacket, it’s cold outside” she noticed he had not put on his jacket like his sister. Adrian did not come back but she could still hear their laughter outside. As if on cue thier father came downstairs with bed hair, he had just woken up from a nap. “Alphonse please control your children, they’re giving me a hard time today” she complained and picked up the last you. “Good Afternoon to you too Mrs Edmund” he said and kissed her on the cheek before going into the kitchen. He had changed his name officially to his father's name after the gruesome death of Ursula, as a way to keep the name of his father alive. That meant he also had to change h
"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. "First thing tomorrow morning, get me someone who knows his job and looks a little
A week later. "Baby! Can you get me the sunscreen!" It was not a request and Alphonse knew it so he stopped what he was doing and quickly went to bring the sunscreen for his wife. 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. "I love you" he remi
“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. "Today I will put my hands on her" she said walking towards her but Everest was quick to stand up and hold his wife. The whole church was turned into an uproar. "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. Charlotte looked very sad and angry at the interruption at her wedding. Vivian was ruining the one day that was supposed to be the happiest in her life. “It will be okay baby, I will get her out of here as soon as I can” Alphonse said as he hooked a finger under her chin. Charlotte nodded wordlessly and
"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. "I am nervous" Charlotte said and both mothers looked at themselves before coming to seat on each of her side and held her hand. "It is your wedding day baby, it is understandable if you get scared. I mean we both never had weddings at this age but I knew if we had we would be as anxious as you are now, right Jennifer?" Hannah asked Jennifer who quickly nodded. "Right" she replied. "It's okay to be nervous baby, you're leaving your life as a single woman to start new with someone else. But you love him don't you?" Jennifer asked her and Charlotte nodded quickly. "I do" she smiled as the thought of A
"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. Look at the coincidence" she said and Alphonse laughed."Uhhh..." he hesitated and scratched his brow."Spill" she said to him as she k
"Hey honey" Alphonse came into the room with a food tray."Hey" Charlotte sat up on the bed with a smile."Long night is it?" 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. Eat up,
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
"Hello" “I regret the day my poor wife gave birth to you” Cornelius said to the other person on the phone as soon as he picked. "Father" Geoffrey said curtly. "Don't you ever call me that again!" 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. "And you fell for that? It's the FBI, you useless bas
