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
