Vivian was having problems she could not solve, and problems that irked her because she truly believed they would have been solved by now. That was her original plan, but for some reason, things refused to go her way.
Slamming down the flute she was sipping from hard enough to shatter, Vivian fumed out her rage. For the longest time she had played nice, hoping her daughter would see she was the only one truly on her side, but no. Scarlett was insufferable, she had no care for her family anymore, and it was a very hard pill to swallow.
Vivian was drowning in debts, and her husband was doing nothing to help, he was being his usual useless self and it had fallen on her to carry on for the family which had led to her embezzling funds from the company.
At first she was going to m
Jason was wild and livid with rage, he could not believe what he just heard, could not believe that once again he could be cheated so brutally.The position of director was never supposed to go to Scarlett, that was his major grievance. The role was his, he had worked his butt off for it, ensured that all his i’s are dotted and his T’s crossed. But his cousin had done nothing, absolutely nothing, and now the position was hers, just like that.He was feeling extremely bitter indeed. He felt cheated, he hated feeling that way, it made him sick. All Scarlett had to her was her name, her husband's name, and because of that simple fact he hated her so much that a lump of rage formed in his throat and refused to go down.“What's this I'm hearing?!” Em
Vivian was quite fulfilled that morning as she saw her daughter sit in the chair of the director that morning. And more than her own agenda she enjoyed the sight of Elicia and Jason's face as they both seethed like the failures they were.She was glad that Scarlett was on the seat. She knew the accounts would be reviewed soon, as it is reviewed every five years, and her five years were almost up.She was becoming ill at the thought of the gaps in finances getting noticed, and she getting eradicated from society, but with Scarlett finally filling that empty role she used to hold.Vivian had never been more glad to step down from anything in her entire life. She was just glad the heat would be taken off her, never mind the fact that it would be pinned on her daughter ins
Embezzlement! ScarlettRodney! Fundsthief! Scarlett could not understand what was happening. It was utterly ridiculous, embezzlement? She stood up to splash water on her face to help straighten out her thoughts.In the bathroom she could pretend that all was fine as she cleaned her face while staring at the diamond encrusted mirror, but as soon as she stepped into her room, the incessant ringing of the landline glittering with sapphires and crystals brought her back to reality.Cautiously, she moved to the phone and placed it in her ear, holding her breath as she waited. But it seemed the other person was waiting as well, she could only hear harsh and labored breathing from the other end.“H_hello.” Scarlett finally gathered up her courage to say, but the breathin
Mason could barely breath from the rage that coursed through him after he received a call that morning from his lawyer. His wife in jail? It was not only outrageous, it was maddening, and he was determined to do some damage.“How could you keep this from me?!” He rounded on Rita as soon as she stepped into his office, her head bowed, and she flinched back before taking a deep breath.“You were holding an emergency press conference Sir, I could not let this destabilize you.” She defended herself, but it seemed that her effort only promoted Mason's ire.“That's my wife Rita! A press conference? Was that really the best you could have done? What if I had been asked about it while standing defenseless? What would you have done?!” He thundered,
Scarlett burrowed deep into the covers of her bed as if that would save her from the onslaught going on outside. She could not believe that this was how she would eventually die. She was really exhausted, and Mason had been really helpful, kind, and supportive, but she knew he was digging for something, and she was not sure what exactly.Mason stood by her door with a cup of hot tea in his hands, smiling as she ventured towards the tv for the first time in five days. He knew that what was happening was taking a bitter toll on his wife's health, and it hurt that he could do nothing about it.“Hey.” He called her smiling, and she turned towards him with a tired grin, and he wondered if she had gotten any sleep at all, she looked worse than before she slept.“Got any rest?” He asked, and she shrugged before sipping her tea, and squeezing his hands to express her thanks as she turned towards the TV, and her hands in his froze.“My daughter does not deserve all the hate comments.” Scarlet'
Ric Wilson was excited. He had never thought that he would be this happy to see his love ostracized but he was. The hitch deserved it. He had laughed heartily when he saw the news, and was content to sit and watch it for hours from different channels, showing the experience from different angles. But one thing that was common in all the footage was Scarlett's misery, and that was what excited Ric more than anything.He sipped his drink tirelessly as he watched with a triumphant smirk drawn permanently on his mouth, and Emerald watched her brother with concern in her eyes. He was definitely becoming obsessive, and she knew an obsessed Ric was no good, he was enough as is.“Don't you think you should slow down?” She asked without looking up from her laptop, she knew he heard her. Also knew that she was being ignored.“I know you heard me. This little problem of yours is becoming concerning. You have been in that excited state for hours.” Emerald snarked, and Ric turned to aim his cup on
Vivian could not believe her eyes nor her ears as she stared at the TV screen. Her? How on earth had that simpering lawyer come to that conclusion, she was sure she covered her tracks, and covered it well.She immediately galvanized into action, setting her cup down with a loud bang and rushing inside.“Honey, what's going on?” Her husband asked, but she simply hissed as she shoved him off in her effort to find her way.She immediately swiped out her phone to call Michelle. She would know what to do, she decided, and placed the call on her ear while waiting for her to answer.“Mom! What the hell did you do?” Michelle demanded from her mother angrily.“Be careful with that tone of voice.” She warned, and Michelle fell silent for a moment.“Mom, what's going on? Scarlett is already freaking out.” She said again, and Vivian groaned. She knew that things just got that much more difficult. This was not the plan at all, she thought angrily to herself as she ran to her wardrobe to wrestle o
Vivian woke up early the next morning, very early. She had booked a very early flight after all, and was determined not to miss it. Vivian Rodney was quite smart, all her years she had always restrained herself from behaving as her instinct would dictate. That was how she was able to sink her claws into the financial blood of her company. Her sister Elicia was more of an all bark and no bite kind of girl, but not Vivian, she would give you chilly silence and cold shoulder that you would just have to spend all day thinking about her drama and playing right into her hands.Opening the door slowly, she looked left, and looked right as she purposely avoided the CCTV cameras and decided before creeping out.She was in a very adventurous mood that morning as she managed to evade all the cameras and got into a cab that early morning once again paying with cash.Dropping her right off in the airport, Vivian crept slowly along and had to go Sit in the waiting room with everyone else as the
