THE HEIR'S VENDETTA CHAPTER 053
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

“Mr Sanders” Alphonse greeted and shook hands with his Lawyer as he stepped into the office of Sanders & Co practices.“Alias Mr sawyer”, Philip Sanders said, laughing, and Alphonse joined in.“You really outdid yourself in that act, Mr Philip”, Alphonse said nodding his head while he remembered the stunt he and Philip Sanders had played on the Robinsons and reduced them to nothing.And the thought that it had been long since when Alphonse spoke to Vivian crossed his mind at that particular moment.“Indeed, I did. Take a seat please” Philip said and pointed to a chair which Alphonse took promptly.“Scotch or whiskey” Philip asked as he rummaged his wine cabinet for a drink that would suit the younger man.His frail figure hunched over the bottles and his eyes squinted and he looked over the labels of the drinks. The extent this witty man was going for him made Alphonse chuckle.“Whiskey, neat please.” He quickly said, trying to put the man out of his search misery and make him choose

“You have to share it equally” Ursula complained as soon as Alphonse entered his study.Today after a series of caution from Peter, Alphonse was deciding to act civilized today. So he invited them to his personal study, but not before having his lawyer give them a brief on the disadvantages they had regarding the case theyl brought up.And thus, that prompted Ursula's whining and a deep scowl from Paul as soon as he entered the room. Alphonse looked at the deceitful mother and stolen son and he let out a small chuckle at the fraudulent act before addressing them.“We are just getting started Ursula. Have a sit” He pointed to the seat and Ursula snickered before sitting down."Whatever this is, better be worth my time" she muttered aloud as she lowered herself inside the soft plush seat."I can assure you it will be worth every while" Alphonse said with a smile and a brief nod.“I got your stupid message through my lawyer yesterday” Ursula said as soon as she was seated with her son.

“I had a discussion with Geoffrey Hall,” Alphonse said over morning tea with Peter the next day.Peter nodded and slurped his tea noisily.“And what did he have to say about his father’s intrusion?” Peter peered into the face of the young man as he asked.Alphonse shrugged weakly and revealed what was already obvious to the old man.“He knows about it. It was all planned and it was to get my attention and make me work with him to get back at Vivian” Alphonse said.“But he could have done it without you. Why bring your mother into all of this?” Peter asked.Alphonse sighed and sipped his tea before replying.“He found out I was the owner of the Edmund company now and I had been married to her once so I would have enough dirt on her family and be the best person in the best position to help him get him back” Alphonse said and sighed again.Peter picked up his saucer and placed his teacup on top of it before setting it down back on the table and folding his arms.“And what have you chose

“He’s in the building”“What’s he doing?” Alphonse asked the informant on the phone.He had paid someone to have Ivan Robinson, the crackhead junior brother of Vivian Robinson, follow.And that was what he was doing now.The younger man was the easiest option to tail and the best person to infiltrate the family from, Thomas had become a vegetable at the hospital and Margaret had eyes and ears on the ground.While nobody had heard from Vivian in days, she was too depressed and ashamed to come outside or be seen in public, since her famous family had become the laughing stock of the town.“He’s meeting up with Cornelius, they are taking out a trade” The informant told Alphonse.“Good, take as much evidence as you can. Give me something worth your pay” Alphonse said to the man over the phone“Yes sir” The man whose name he had refused to tell because of professionalism and secrecy, nodded as though Alphonse was there to see him.“Keep me posted” Alphonse said and ended the call as soon a
