Chapter 115: Chapter 115

(Vivienne)

"This is so pretty...but how come...is it a boy or girl?"I asked, running around the large baby store going crazy with everything I could find.

Monica and I were at one of the city's trusted and well-known baby stores where the rich came to buy things for their babies. I didn't suggest this but Monica was a classy lady. She said Victor's child was a big deal

Any member of the Ellison family was prestigious whether it is Kyan whom people knew and loved or Justin. The great doctor who ran the Ellison hospital. Victor was the main man and the one who called the shots. He was the true definition of the Ellison empire. He built his family's legacy and raised it high

I shrugged shook such thoughts off and scanned the tiniest baby clothes I gathered and put them on the large table

"Wow you have great taste...these are nice," the shopkeeper lady said with a smile as she came to where I was standing. I've never seen anything cute before. So lovely that I was going insane

"Calm down already...we came to see not to but dummy" Monica passed by and said with a scoff but I didn't care as I ran around to the shelves and took some cute little white shoes. And a matching onesie

"Now this is so cute," I said cheerfully and cleared the table. I carefully spread the little romper on the table and decorated it with baby shoes. We didn't know if the baby was a girl or boy but I was so happy that I clicked as many pictures of all the little outfits I could find

"Ms... isn't this enough," the lady asked me when I exhaled and leaned to the table and smiled and scrolled through my phone to see all the lovely pics I sent

"Ahh...that grumpy man, he's lucky to have a surrogate like me...his kid is going to have cute little outfits," I said with a sigh and searched for Victor's number. I didn't know what I was doing but I was going to send him as many pics I took as possible

"Done...now let's see if he will reply"I said after sending, swarming Victor's gallery with baby clothes. I smiled knowing I was happy and shoved my phone in my back pockets since I was wearing dark blue jean shorts with a pink blouse which was a little loose and extended at the back like a mermaid tail although it only covered my backside. The front was caved and reached just above my waist area and the arms were exposed. My hair was neatly tied in a high ponytail. Monica made some sarcastic remarks about how I looked

I saw how many pregnant women were staring at me when we walked in with our admiration

"This isn't good...the crib needs to be nice...can you order more nice ones...classy ones' 'Monica said as we walked around the crib area. I saw so many beautiful and nice baby beds. That would look good but it seemed Monica didn't like any which the lady showed us

"Ms. These came in just yesterday...you are the one to see them, "the lady said politely and Monica turned around and threw her a death glare which drilled holes if it could. I stood to the side and knew the sales lady made a big mistake correcting Monica

"And now you think I'm deranged or crazy...all these are horrible...I heard this store is well known across the city and country but now...it's pathetic" Monica lashed out bitterly and the saleslady lowered her gaze out of fear. Monica was way too vicious and lethal with her words.

"Ms...I didn't mean...I"

"How dare you...do you know who booked this entire store...if he came here then I'm sure this pathetic store of yours will be closed for good!"Monica yelled so much cutting off the lady and by now I was afraid of what the sales lady was going to suffer at the hands of Monica. Her gaze was lethal and sharp

"Monica that's enough...it's okay" I tried to make her stop but she was too angry to control. If not for the fact we were in a private area away from others I was certain people would have come to watch

"What's going on here?"The manager who received us came running and Monica looked up at the lady dressed in a black suit which was a red mini skirt and a red coat with a tucked-in white shirt inside.

"Nothing...this shop is…"Monica spat out but stopped when her phone started ringing. I prayed that she left before she made everyone go through hell

"You are lucky this is important...I'll be right back," she said glaring at the manager and the sales lady, and walked away

"It's okay...I'll have a look and see if I can find any nice's one"I smiled, turning to the two ladies who looked sad. That was Monica. She made people's lives miserable but I lightened up their mood and started checking all the good cribs they had as well as the decorations for the baby's room.

Meanwhile, Monica had stepped out and went somewhere private to anger the call. She didn't even know why he was calling her but he had to put him in his place

"What are you calling me!" she yelled through gritted teeth as soon as she answered the call and walked towards the restroom. She didn't even reach there when she came to an abrupt halt. Her heart raced when she heard what the person who called her was saying

"S...stop it if you are trying to make me run to you then…"Monica yelled as tears rained down her face, she didn't know why she was in such a situation but when she spoke. The call ended. She was disturbed that she turned back and started running towards the elevator but

"Ahh!" she gasped when she bumped into someone and the things the man had dropped on the floor. She gathered herself and picked up her phone which was by a pocket knife and as she saw it, she bumped into a man who lowered down and took the knife. The only thing she saw was that the man had a dragon-like tattoo on his arm however she didn't have time when she was rushing somewhere

"He won't do it...he's just trying to scare me"Monica muttered wiping sweat from her forehead as she waited for the elevator to reach the ground floor. Everything was blurry. Her heart was racing, if she had the power to reach the next building, she would do it but the elevator seemed to be taking long at some point. It stopped to get some people.

Time went by and the elevator was just getting more people from different floors. Her mind was going crazy that she didn't even care that forgot to tell Vivienne she was leaving. She had the driver and Monica decided to take a taxi. Soon the lift stopped and she fought her way out. If anyone saw her then they would think she had gone mad walking around and bumping into people however she got to the taxi

"Please take me to...sunset hotel," Monica said as the driver nodded and the cab started moving

In such times she preferred not to talk to anyone and going after the man who just threatened to end himself was something she preferred not to deal with but she recalled what happened the last time he threatened her with such a thing

He set his own house on fire and locked himself in the room. People thought it was just an accidental fire unfortunately he set his own house on fire

"Thanks a lot...please keep the change, "Monica said in a hurry and shoved cash in the man's hand, and ran towards the entrance of the hotel

It took five minutes to arrive at her destination. It was in the middle afternoon. The sun was bright, scorching not sure why but she didn't care as she rushed in. She knew where she was going hence didn't bother to check-in at the reception

"Open up...come on" she shouted as soon as she reached the door to the room where the culprit was. She was lucky the elevator was working just fine hence reaching the filth floor was easy. The apartment was the only one there not sure why but she didn't care as she banged on the door countless times

No one was opening hence she turned the knob and the door opened, surprising her as she rushed in but stopped when she saw the person sitting by the stairs. Countless glass bottles were scattered around

"Leo!"Monica yelled in shock and ran as far as she could. The entire floor area was slippery and she knew he was breaking bottles like a crazy person. There was red liquid mixed with glass pieces

The sight was frightening she hoped he didn't do anything funny

"What the fuck is wrong with you!" she shouted when she managed to walk past the glass pieces and started inspecting Leo who had his head bowed the entire time. He wasn't moving and that scared her greatly

"Leo...talk to me" she cupped his face and tilted his head up to see if he was okay. He looked drunk his eyes were blurry

"Don't touch me...you disgust me" he said and shoved her hands away from his face but Monica was adamant as she sat on the stairs and lifted his t-shirt to see if he stabbed himself anywhere or hurt any part of him. His wrist was intact which was a relief

"This is what you always do...what's your problem huh. I told you that it's…" she shouted, smacking him on the chest but Leo didn't stop her but grabbed her by the neck and pulled her to him for a hungry kiss. Monica was caught off guard by his actions that she tried to fight and get away but he was so strong that he didn't let go

"I'll kill him...he dared to touch what's mine!"Leo growled in between kisses and held her by the waist while gripping her neck tightly. She couldn't breathe nor kiss him back but he forced his tongue right into her mouth kissing her violently

"S...stop it?" She struggled to get away and take a breather but Leo didn't let go or let her off. He was angry and hungry for her. his heavy breathing showed it all.
