Chapter 126: Chapter 126

(Vivienne)

"Kyan...why is everyone busy?"I asked as soon as I walked in and met Kyan who was busy rushing somewhere. He stopped and arched a brow at me but feeling guilty I stretched my shirt up to my neck and held my purse close

"Well my brother's buddy is coming to stay here for a few days," Kyan said with his attention focused on his phone and I frowned at him

"I thought Leo was his buddy?"I asked because I only knew about Leo, although Victor was a little harsh on Leo and treated him more like an employee than a friend

"Yeah but this one is my brother's fre-enemy...they get along but it involves fists and stuff...later beautiful, "Kyan said things which made no sense and walked away leaving me standing there. I sighed not sure what was happening and proceeded towards the stairs where I ran into iulia

"Hello Ms...how was your day?" she asked and hurried down, I nodded and she walked down and she too was in a hurry. I didn't know what was happening hence I decided to take a quick shower and stay up in my room. If Victor was going to have a guest then I didn't think I qualified to be there

"Ahh" a long sigh left my lips as I stretched my body and decided to soak myself in a tub full of hot bubble water. I kept wondering what Victor was up to. How was his day, shaking my head? I lowered myself into the water since my hair was tied up. I preferred it didn't get wet.

***

It didn't take time before I decided to end my shower. I walked back to my room and found my bed done. I guessed Julia had done, she was exceptional hence I grabbed my soft caramel brown sweatpants and a loose crop shirt and decided to go downstairs

Ahh

I was exhausted and a warm shower was what made me energetic. After spending my day with Cassy and talking about random things I didn't know why she kept talking about Leo. I guessed she was now used to having Leo around her. I had to say Leo wasn't a bad idea

"Do you think that's my damn problem" while walking down the passageway I heard a familiar voice but I did mind as I continued my journey towards the stairs when

"I'm so sorry I, "I said when I bumped into someone and whatever they had in their hands fell on the floor and the white papers flew around the place and the phone as well

I didn't even look at the person thinking it was Victor and only went on my knees and started gathering the papers

"Here I'm sorry s…"I said as I finished up gathering everything and rose to my feet and handed the file to the person but I stopped when my eyes fell on the man standing there staring at me with a smirk plastered on his face

"You?" both of us said at the same time in disbelief. And the man smiled as he took the file and his phone from me

"Hey there pretty lady...you live here...are you Kyan's friend...or, "the man asked with a smile tugging at the corners of his lips that my eyes narrowed not sure what he was doing here. I met him at the ice cream shop. He practically spilled hot chocolate on me and other things

"Umm who are you and why are you here?''He looked as if he was taking a shower judging by his wet black hair and matching gray tracksuit. He was handsome with a charming smile and a somehow jovial personality for his demeanor

"First may I know the name of the pretty lady?" he asked leaning forward and I moved back not liking the way he was getting close to me

"I'm... excuse me, si," I said, not sure who he was but I didn't like his sudden approach. I was about to walk away when he suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me back so fast that my eyes widened not sure what he was doing but he trapped me to a wall and moved close to me

"I didn't introduce myself when we met...I'm Castro...what's your name little one" he murmured with a huge smile looking straight at me and I didn't know what to do. He was standing right there holding me by the shoulders. Just like Victor, this man was taller than me. And was towering over me like some giant. His perfume was rather nice

"Umm...well.."I started but stopped when someone joined us. My eyes shifted to the left and I saw Victor standing there with a dark expression on his face. The man seemed to have seen him too because he chuckled and moved back but slid his hand down my arm and grabbed my hand

"Vic...I didn't know there's a pretty gem here...who's she? ''he said, looking at Victor and pulling me forward before draping his arm over my shoulders and pulling me to him. I watched Victor and he didn't look happy at all. If he was a serious freak in the past then he was extremely grumpy now

"She's my Surrogate," Victor said surprising me and the man too because he immediately let go of me but held me by the shoulders and turned me around so I could face him

"She's your Surrogate ''he asked as he scanned me and like a fool, I held my shirt from behind and pulled it so my belly could show. He was stunned that I found his behavior quite weird

and it's just a surrogate right...we can still be friends" he blurted out nervously between laughter and I arched my brows at him "I forgot to ask...did I hurt you earlier...I'm sure you are Ms. Payton Leo was talking about" he said in a normal voice. He was weird, especially for his age which was like Victor

"Castro...let's go, "Victor said and I didn't sense irritation in his tonation and I knew he was not so happy

"Business can wait...come, sweetie…"Castro said, waving Victor off and dragging me away. I didn't know where he was taking me but I guess there was another Kyan in the house to trouble me

I glanced back to where Victor was standing and sweet how angry he looked. I didn't have to ask him or look further knowing he was not happy but this wasn't my fault. I guessed this was the same guest  Kyan referred to as Victor's buddy.

***

Victor left from there and headed downstairs. Of course, he came to do work in the living room because he thought his friend would want to jump into work but seeing how they were giggling like children he couldn't concentrate on his work

"Is it really difficult...you seem like a brave girl…" he heard Castro say and he was busy sitting on the carpet while his Surrogate was sitting on the couch. They were surrounded by books all about babies

"I'm not sure...it's simple...just look," his Surrogate said and they ended up laughing. Victor was only sitting for the sake of it when deep down he was irritated.

At dinner, his friend sat close to his Surrogate. He was acting like he was the owner of the baby she was carrying. And his Surrogate couldn't stop smiling. Victor frowned as he kept his eyes on his laptop sitting there like he was some third wheel

"Hey Castro...please come I show you something"it was Monica who walked into the living room "Cas... you'll talk to her later, "Monica said with a grin and Castro pouted as he moved and got to his feet

"I'll come back soon okay...it seems my visit here is worth it, "Castro said with a smirk and followed Monica out of the living room leaving only Victor and me sitting there

I watched Castro and Monica Lett from there and I sighed and gathered all the magazines we were looking at and decided to get some refreshments for myself. I didn't know which way to use but the short one was where Victor was sitting hence I made my way there but the worse happened when I was about to walk right passed him

"Ahh" I tripped over his extended leg and ended up falling on top of him. While Victor moved his arm to my back securely. I fell on him and he was just sitting there as if what happened was my fault when he caused it

"Sir I'm sorry," I said apologetically and prepared to move away from him but he tightened his grip around me. What was he doing, what if someone walked in and found us like this? I shifted my eyes to him and he had that dark serious expression that made my heart skip a beat

"My room now, "Victor murmured, looking straight into my eyes. He didn't open his mouth to speak but said the words more like to himself but I heard him loud and clear "I hate waiting" he added and moved his hands to my face and rubbed my chin with his thumb

"It was a mistake" I muttered ignoring the sensation he was giving me but he just chuckled and pulled my face to him. My lips were an inch from his and that made me uncomfortable

"My room", he said and let go of me. I didn't even wait for him to say anything when I stormed out of there.
