A ray of sunlight crept in through a corner of the gigantic window where the blinds didn't quite get to and directly unto Vienna's face, causing her to grunt and turn around on the bed. As her hand laid on the other side, she realized the large bed was carrying no one else but her. Still with her eyes closed, she stretched her hand forward a little, maybe he was lying just at the edge of the bed, she told herself. But there was no one there. She finally lifted her eyelids and on realizing there was no one there for real, she heaved her sigh as she sluggishly raised her body to a sitting position like a zombie that had just gotten infected. A lazy yawn left her mouth as she stretched out her hands. She wasn't feeling as energetic as she hoped she would be. Finding a good night's rest was harder than finding gold in the river. She had tossed and turned all night on the bed, letting out angry groans at most intervals. Meanwhile, Ivan slept like a baby in his mother's arms. Maybe it
The café was the same as the day before, of course it was. But the staff still remembered her face and the scene she and her guest created, judging from the way they were looking at her and the same guest. The thoughts that were probably running through their minds was that she was having a fight with her lover and they had come together to settle their disputes. She ordered herself a cup of iced americano and sat with her back straight with her arms crossed beneath her breast. She glared at Bradley with a death stare and he patiently waited for her to speak up. Even though she was waiting for him to speak as well. She cleared her throat, after realizing that Bradley wouldn't be speaking any time soon. "Why didn't you tell me about your family?" Bradley scoffed. "Have you forgotten that your family threw me away?" "Damn it Bradley!" She slammed her hand against the table. "Not them! Me! I was always there for you! What did you think? That I couldn't report you to the police and
Ivan applauded her entrance as Vienna strode into the living room. A big smile played on his face as he watched her with an approving gaze. "Thank you, thank you." She bowed her head with a smile on her face. She was proud of herself as well. Who knew she had it in her to be so strict that she could incite fear into a man like her brother in law?"I have to admit, I didn't know you had in you. I was very surprised but pleased at your success." Ivan admitted. "Come here." She ran into his open arms and he gave her a gentle squeeze. "I was so scared, I couldn't bring myself to say those mean words about hurting his family." She said as she buried her head into her chest. Ivan patted her head gently. "I'm sorry I made you say those kinds of words." She shook her head then looked up into his eyes. "It's alright, I understand that it was for the best. If I hadn't said those words to him, I'm pretty sure he'd be on his way to Jacob right now to tell him about the deal I made with him."
The sky darkened over the residence of the Shay's. Mrs Shay took a sip from the pot of boiling soup on the gas and exhaled a sigh as a smile of satisfaction made its way to her face. "Honey! Dinner is ready!" She yelled out for her husband to come down for dinner. Mr Shay made his way down the stairs with hurried steps and sat himself down on one of the chairs in the dining room. "My love, I made a wonderful discovery today, like I was saying before you asked me to go up and shower first." Mr Shay said with a big smile on his face.Mrs Shay let her eyes roll skywards as she set the table for them to eat. "Yeah yeah, I can remember clearly what I said."She sat down and took out a spoon to start eating. She had prepared some rice and chicken soup for them, after her husband requested for chicken soup before leaving the house that morning. "So tell me," Mrs Shay continued. "Where did you go today that kept you out way until dark?" "I was going through the old cupboard in our bedroo
"Seems like our time is up for now, remember to go through today's work and don't forget your assignment. If you perform well on this then I can proudly assure you a spot on the graduation seats." Their lecturer announced to the students as they all packed up their books and laptops and other equipment. Ivan took out his phone from his pocket and clicked on messages. Fishing out Vienna's name, he clicked on it and started typing. "Hey, are you busy at work? Can we meet up? I'd like to know if you're free to talk." As he sent the text, he made to return the phone to his pocket but it chimed and he immediately raised it back to his face. "Just got out of surgery, I could use a break. Let's meet up at the burger place close to the hospital if it's fine with you." A smile worked its way to his lips as he texted her back. "I'll be there in thirty minutes tops, see you in a bit." He tucked his phone back into his pocket and rose to his feet but a hand pushed him back to his seat force
The street was crowded with people of all heights and sizes. Ivan pushed his way through them and walked into the burger place where Vienna was waiting for him.She raised her hand and waved at him the moment she saw him walk into the place. A big smile played on her face as he walked over to her. He smiled back at her as he made his way to her table. "Hey there beautiful." He said with a smile. He leaned closer to her and placed a kiss on her lips before sitting himself down on the chair opposite her. "Oh I know I saw you a few days ago but I miss you so so much." She whined like a baby. Ivan let out a soft chuckle. "I know right? I should have tried to visit you earlier but I was so busy. I really have missed out on a lot of things plus, the school is extra busy planning our convocation ceremony and I'm so so stressed out by it." He groaned. She placed her hand on his with a serene smile on her face. "I understand what you're going through, I've gone through it too but I assure
He didn't know whether she was going to be embarrassed by his proposal or not so Ivan did his best to keep it on a low key. Vienna's eyes stared at the ring with so many emotions mixed together and her heart raced like crazy. "If you'd like me to keep it away for now, I promise you that I understand and I will do just that--""What? Are you crazy? Put what away?" She questioned him with wide eyes. Pushing her chair back, she rose to her feet and bellowed. "Everyone! My boyfriend is proposing!" Ivan was shocked by her sudden action and he felt even more awkward when all eyes fell on him. Some people stared at him and Vienna with admiration while others cheered them on. Vienna shrieked excitedly as Ivan, who felt like that was the only reasonable thing to do, fell on one knee and opened the box again while lifting it closer to her. "V... Uh... Will you marry me, Vienna Fawn?" He stuttered a little. She let out an excited shriek as she danced for a moment before screaming yes about
"A young man was seen yesterday entering a car known world wide as the property of the Wayne family, every single person is wondering who he is. Perhaps, could he be the missing heir that wind has been blowing past our ears about for a while now?" A young man wrote on his page before posting a video of Ivan's back as he entered the car plus extra shots of the car alone. The internet was flooded with posts like that and different pictures of Ivan, except no one was quick enough to get a photo of his face. Mr Andrews scrolled through the countless numbers of posts all having similar title and others that were just tagged "hash tag, heir of Wayne" "Why won't anyone show me a picture of his face?!" He growled angrily as he threw his phone across the room. He rubbed his face and heaved a heavy sigh before relaxing into his chair. He heard a knock on his door that brought him to sit upright as his eyes traveled quickly to where the sound came from. The door pushed open and a face that
