“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
Alphonse's lips left hers as calmly and softly, she did not expect it."Hi" Alphonse smiled at her "You found me darling" he said loud enough for the unwanted visitor to hear.Charlotte was too dumbfounded to say anything but braved a face and plastered a believing smile on her face as she took off her mask and turned to face the other woman.Vivian's mouth dropped open, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets ."Isn't she your ..." she pointed a crimson finger that matched her lips towards the younger woman."Charlotte Weaver. Nice to meet..." Charlotte started but Vivian shrieked and moved her hand away from her."Don't you fucking speak to me, you shouldn't even be here. Alphonse really? A maid?" Vivian sneered and almost screamed amdist the crowd of elite people in the room.Alphonse said nothing to her as he turned to Charlotte and give her a kiss on the cheek."Did I mention you look lovely tonight darling?" He flirted with the young woman."For the millionth time my love,
"It's about time you sign those damned papers!" Vivian's sweet sinister voice filled the room as her heels clanked with every step she took.The moment Geoffrey heard her voice his mind filled with dread and the hate reminder he had for her.All through the weekend he kept thinking how his life would be different if he had not married her or came across her.He was blinded by her beauty and greed.Geoffrey had decided to let go of what he had with her and now he was back to her house and was packing his things before her maid had brought the divorce papers for him to sign before he left."The witch awakes" he muttered loud enough for her to hear."Don't you agree this witch looks pretty this morning?" She said with a smile as she approached him "This witch is getting back on her feet and making a comeback" she said and circled him.It was like a predator and prey situation because Vivian had something up her sleeves and Geoffery was oblivious to it."I'll be out of here in no time. Gi
Days passed and turned into weeks. Vivian thought she was finally at rest when it came to her now second ex husband, who was in prison.But peaceful waters stirred when she got a call from jail and from none other than Geoffrey Hall.She wasted no time in going to see him."I've got only twenty minutes to spare so be fast with this" she said as she stood and the warden double cleaned her chair with enough wipes.She stood and eyed the place skeptically as Geoffrey stood with chains on his legs.After the prison warden finished cleaning her chair, she perched on it and refused to let her body touch any more thing than just the chair, the place irritated and scared her, but the disgust was evident."No amount of wipes can take away the filth this place has." She grumbled. "What can I do for you Geoffery? Why am I here?" She askedGeoffrey smiled as he watch her antics, not bothered by it."I have to take something off my chest" he said and shrugged.Vivian waited for him to talk but he
Alphonse waited for the usual knock on his door announcing someone he had gotten used waiting for, but none was forthcoming.And waiting had not done him any good for the past few days so today also, he sighed and went to freshen up for the day like he had been doing for the last few days."Is Charlotte back?" Alphonse asked Peter as he headed downstairs and towards the kitchen that the girl was always hiding herself in.Peter followed him hot on his heels as was the matter that he was about to bring up."Sir, she took the week off because her father is sick and it's just been five days. She will be back by Monday" Peter informed him."Right. I was thinking she would change her mind and come early" Alphonse nodded as he scanned the kitchen.Since the day after the masquerade party Charlotte had made avoiding him the most important part of her job, at one point he almost broke the professionalism between he and her by confronting her but she quickly evaded it as usual.What increased
“I believe we all understand why we are here now. Why don’t you let us in, Mr. Fischer. After all this is our house also” Ursula said as she clasped her hand in front of her after delivering her introductory message and gesture.Alphonse tilted his head and was still unmoving.“Sir” Peter nudged Alphonse almost unnoticeably as the young man refused to budge, he was getting angry by the minute and the stare off between Alphonse and Ursula continued.Peter cleared his throat a little not too subtle “Sir, I’ll prepare the study” he said and Alphonse quickly straightened and broke the stare off contest.“Of course.” Alphonse said with a forced smile through pursed lips. “Come on in.” He stepped aside. “Peter, please prepare the old study, my present one is immensely occupied with more important things” Alphonse was being messy and throwing jabs seeing the slap and their presence still angered him “About time” Ursula said with a wide smile, a first victory one on her part.Alphonse walke
“Join us for dinner Peter. I am happy tonight and given my attitude for the past few days, I’m using this gesture as a means of apologizing. You deserve to be happy too, so join us” Alphonse said as the substitute maid in place of Charlotte set the table for their supper.“Of course sir” Peter said and drew a chair for himself.“Now Mother, I had them prepare your favorite dish and there’s also some tenderly cooked and marinated steak if you want some. And oh there’s some chicken breast, you can have everything to your fill tonight” Alphonse went on talking as Hannah stared on at him with a loving smile.Hannah stretched her hand out to his side and placed her hand on top of his to slow him down a bit.Alphonse stopped what he was doing and turned to smile at her.“You’re happy” she pointed out and it was true and very obvious.Alphonse nodded quickly with glee “You’re here, I should be” he said.“I’m glad you’re happy” she said and caressed his hand in a loving manner.Alphonse laugh
