Chapter 122: Chapter 122

(Vivienne)

If victor truly loved his late wife as everyone said yes then why was he with me in bed. I wasn't trying to erase his wife's memories but I just wanted him to be free and be happy again. Did he love her or was he just guilty because as Kyan said, Alisa was a good woman with a kind heart

She took care of everyone like her own family and loved Victor a lot. Who wouldn't fall for such a woman? I was certain Victor had some sentimental feelings for her but with my understanding. His feelings weren't strong enough because if they were then I don't think he would have looked at me a second time

He was always sad and I didn't want that. Since that time at the restaurant I hated seeing him hurt like I did and now he was slowly getting used to living without drowning himself in alcohol

He was holding me in his arms while I lay on top of him, our eyes met and the wind blowing through the open window blew my hair across his face and he didn't dare push it aside

"Sir...did you ever love her...sorry for asking this but is it Love or guilt!"I asked wanting to know exactly what he felt for his late wife. I had no right to question him. I was just his Surrogate carrying his wife's child and his. If he wanted he would have thrown me out for crossing my limits with him throughout my entire life. I've lived alone, I had nothing to call my own and I didn't mind

Whatever I had dear to me, I held close to me without letting go. No one treated me the way he did. At first, I hated how he treated me as if I was a special case. I thought of how he always came to my rescue and made me think I was weak but with time I understood that care existed and some understood it better and Victor was good at showing it. He felt the same way whenever I came to his rescue

"Ms. Payton it's bad to throw yourself at a man," he said with a straight face and I was supposed to be upset. From the beginning, he always said I tried to seduce him even when I didn't so now I was doing that. I cared less about what people thought about me. Call me a seductress or any foul name out there. I didn't care because for the first time I wanted something all to myself. I was greedy this way and Victor being older than me was forbidden.

"Coming from you it's a compliment" I whispered with a faint smile and looked at his parted lips. The cold air made me shiver since I was only in soft cotton shorts and a loose shirt

"I'm serious this is serious...I don't expect this behavior from an intelligent person like you" he spoke again this time he sounded angry. I saw how his expression morphed into a displeased one and I frowned

"Meaning?"I asked, trying to know what exactly he meant by my behavior. Wasn't he the one who started this entire thing? I was on my own. He crushed in my life and did so many things he shouldn't have and how he was acting as if I was the seductress

"You are ill-mannered Ms. Payton...if it were another man in my position what do you think would have happened to you?" he said calmly. Hearing him he sounded as if he was mocking me. He wasn't angry but jealous. I saw through his words and wanted to laugh. Victor was a jealous man. The fact that he even got jealous when kyan got close to me amused me

"Victor...you seem like a principled man with many rules...I'll break all your rules," I said with a grin leaning close to his face. He could throw his attitude at me and pretended that he didn't get affected by my presence but deep down both of us knew. He had feelings for him

"I'm a very dangerous man...not every woman can handle me...Ms. Payton, it's best if you don't have any ideas' 'he said more seriously while tucking my hair behind my ears. I went cold with just his touch. My eyes closed when I opened them. I knew I had a mission. I wasn't certain when I entered his life but now I knew what I wanted

"Try me, Mr. Ellison...I'm not so scared of handling you" I said and trailed my eyes down his chest. If he meant something I knew a man and woman did whenever they were in a relationship. I heard so many things about that party

In the past, I didn't care nor was I willing to give myself to any man but with Victor, I wanted to give all of me without wanting anything back

"Let me taste you tonight"the words I wasn't expecting came from him in a hoarse voice. More deep and masculine that I shook my head and prepared to run out of bed when he caught me and trapped me beneath him

"No...no I was just kidding...yes I wanted to see if you...you truly"I blurted out in one breath fighting to get away from him, he wasn't serious with his words. I was joking and now he trapped me with his hard form. He was careful enough not to make my belly uncomfortable

"Vi you shouldn't provoke a sleeping giant...it's bad for you," Victor said as he traced his hand down my belly he lingered there for a way before he moved lower. Just as he was about to reach down he stopped. My eyes flew open only to find him getting out of bed

"Good Ms. Payton," he said and walked away leaving my room just like that. I was stunned by his silly actions as I prompted on my elbows

"Mr. Victor Ellison...very soon you will be trapped...such a grumpy jerk," I said with a frown and dropped my head in the bed and gathered the pillows under my head and occur dd  s, y  Such a grumpy man who thought he could escape my grasp sooner or later he would lose it and cross the line and if he did then I'd make sure he suffered greatly.

Immediately Victor left his Surrogate's room he went straight to his room. When he got back he didn't freshen up and see how late it was. He sighed as he took off his shirt and threw it away and walked to the bathroom. He didn't know why he even bothered with the likes of his Surry. She was one woman who liked getting into trouble and just now he was about to do something he knew would have trapped him in the spider web

"Hang on Victor...just five more months to go" he muttered as he kicked off his trousers feeling irritated. He looked down at himself and sighed knowing a very cold shower would work for him and immediately he stepped under the running water. A shiver ran throughout his body as he rested his hand on the glass wall. Water dripped down from his hair which was loose then down his body. Nothing made him upset than having a hard-on

"Damn her" he muttered as she looked down again and he was still hard even though the water was useless in such a case. Who was she to make him this way? She was just a mere Surrogate who did leave his life once she gave birth but now he was caught up in a dilemma

After a long cold shower, Victor was still troubled, not sure what to do. Grabbing the white towel from the hanger. He wrapped it around his lower part and proceeded back to his room white tying his wet hair in a loose bun. Since it was late for workouts he settled for a pair of gray sweatpants

"Can't sleep all thanks to that troublemaker" he remarked and threw his files on the bed together with his laptop. He didn't care to put on a shirt since he was heading to bed or mind about the way water dripped down his body from his hair. He was about to sit down when there was a light knock on the door. For a second he thought it was in his head but there it was again. Glancing at his phone it was past midnight so who was it

He walked to the door and opened it immediately only to find his Surrogate standing there

"Ms. Payton?"he said not sure why she was walking around when she was supposed to be resting

"I'm hungry...can you make something for me," she said while fiddling with her hands and Victor's eyes narrowed

"This time…" she was being ridiculous to think he would go to the kitchen and start cooking for her

"Fine I'll go cook myself" she lashed out and stormed away taking large angry strides. Victor watched her and sighed knowing she was out to give him a sleepless night hence he shook his head and followed. His night was ruined.
