Chapter 59: Chapter 59
(Vivienne)
"Stop defending her Justin...if we give this girl a lot of freedom... She'll start to think this is her house"Monica didn't stop there, it seemed she was out to put out my mistake. I wanted to defend myself but I chose to stay quiet not because I was afraid but because I was innocent. She was wrong about me just like the rest of them. I chose to be a surrogate because I wanted good for myself.
And if she was worried about Victor then she could as well as stop troubling her heart because Victor was only concerned about his unborn baby. It was written in his eyes and I didn't mind. I had only one mission and that was to bear him a child, get paid, and leave their lives. Monica was making a mountain out of a molehill
"Please Monica...stop this...why are you bothering her or have you forgotten why Victor kept you around... Vivienne is pregnant it's best we don't stress her out!"Justin got furious as he spat out his words and sounded annoyed as he grabbed Monica's hand and pulled her to him. She was raging as she shot him a death glare and I saw how Justin didn't even mind the devilish look.
I was stunned how someone like Monica would be so bitter. Was this what they called hate at first sight. Since the day she met me, I saw how she treated me. Why would she think I was there to see Victor? Her words didn't matter to me because throughout my life people's words mattered less. She could be we bitter as she wanted but I had my own life to lead
"Alisa is the only woman for Victor...you don't know these kinds of girls...they act so innocently when they have a hidden agenda" again Monica was back at it. I sat there not sure what to do to stop the tension in the room. I had to be calm and not overthink things but Justin seemed beyond irritated as he let go of Monica and pushed her away with a lot of strength. She stumbled backward but managed to balance on her feet. I've never seen anyone like her, she was fuming in rage like a vicious monster
"We'll talk later" saying that to Monica's face Justin stormed away from there and left the room. The doctor was angry and I was surprised as I remained with Monica frozen in place. For a second I saw something amiss about how easily Justin held her but I didn't want to meddle in their affairs
"And you...I'm watching you and don't…"Monica turned to me and started saying but I cut her off as I slowly shifted on the bed. I extended my hand to the side table and carefully put the bowl down then looked at her
"I only stayed quiet because the doctor was here...I have a question...is it you Victor married or your sister" I said in the most innocent way possible, I hated disrespecting people who were older than me but Monica didn't deserve any face, she saw through my shrewdness and I knew I hit the nail on the head
I smirked as I slowly dragged my aching body to the edge of the bed until my legs were suspended down. My feet connected with the floor and I pushed myself up. I had to stand to give a piece of my mind to the lady who was bullying me nonstop
"Maybe you are right...girls like me have a hidden agenda...you should be worried, Monica...I can tolerate you insulting me yes...but you have no damn right to tell me I…"I shot the bitter words out. If she could get angry so cold I and right at that very moment I was angry enough to tell her things no one had ever told her but I kept my cool "Victor owns this house...as much I'm not part of this family...so are you...your sister is dead...you have no relationship with Victor''I added with a smirk plastered on my face. My arms crossed over my chest as I seized her up. She was quiet, of course, but what I told her was the bitter truth. It seemed no one reminded her that she was just as a stranger to the Ellison family as I was and no amount of insults from her could change that
"How dare you insult my sister's memories!" she growled out and nearly raised her hand to slap me and I was ready to welcome her vicious slap but she stopped herself midair. I shifted around a little just to get comfortable and I so loved the expression on her face
"I respect your late sister because of my boss Victor...or perhaps do you have a tiny thing for Victor...I'm wondering"I remarked while elegantly scanning my hand. I didn't have long nicely painted nails like her to flaunt but the action made me look cheeky obviously in her eyes that she was about to crack. Her silence proved my words were like a sharp knife driven straight to her heart. The change in her expression was the proof of me putting her in her place
She was helpless hence I leaned close to her, smirked evilly, and whispered the words "So we agree to disagree...from now on stay within your limits or...I'll use my new weapon and get you in trouble with Victor" saying that I turned away and sat on the bed. I was so tired and felt weak. Tolerating a witch like her was easy but I had to be careful not to get so upset and harm the little creature forming inside me. I didn't move or look at Monica again but I sensed movements and she was out of my sight. Immediately I heard the slamming hard of the door, I exhaled in relief and looked up
"It seems I have to be tough living in this house"I muttered running my hand in my hair. With Monica around guarding her sister's spot in Victor's life, I swore no woman was going to be in his life talk of getting married to him but I wasn't concerned about that
It wasn't me to worry about Victor's love life or which woman he wanted to marry since his wife was shone but Monica seemed like she still wanted Victor to moan his wife for eternity
"How selfish of her," I said disdainfully, knowing Monica was overreacting with everything.

"Sir... everything is ready…"Beverly said to Victor as soon as her boss entered the office. Victor seemed to be in a foul mood just judging by his cold distant behavior which wasn't new. She looked at him for a while but shifted her attention to the files she had in her hands. There was a lot to do and her boss coming in late for work scared her
"I thought you were on leave?" to her surprise Victor said as he sat in his chair and took off his coat and hung it aside. Beverly didn't react as her eyes shone with delight. He was right she was on a week break as per her calendar month however with the current situation with her boss and dealing with his new surrogate, she thought he might need her help somehow
"Y...yes sir but I thought…"Beverly stammered to voice out her opinion and tell him what she thought but just one look from Victor shut her up
"You can go...I'll handle this," he said coldly as he concentrated on his work. Beverly didn't argue or anything but nodded knowing Victor hated anyone disobeying him
"Yes sir... just a reminder the Monro meeting is at the resort...I already gave you the files needed for the meeting" she said before she could sign out and Victor nodded waving her off without even looking at her
"Sure...I have them here"
Just like that Beverly smiled and left, it seemed her boss had everything under control. She just hoped he had the files with him because he was going to need them later. Beverly switched off her phone and left the building knowing she was free for the day.

Vivienne's day was a boring one. She had walked around the house and so far she only saw the servants working like always, she didn't even see the annoying Kyan or Monica anywhere
"Oh good...how on Earth is this so boring?"I complained as I walked around the corridors with zero things to do. I wasn't used to this. I loved working and moving up and down. In the past, my day ended at midnight but now I felt so lazy not doing anything
I was about to pass Kyan's room when I heard a phone ringing. I didn't pay much attention to it guessing he was still around but why wasn't he picking up the call
"I should trouble him a little," I said mischievously because I was helpless hence picking a small fight with Kyan would do me good and at least put me in a better mood
"Kyan?"I called out to him as I pushed the slightly open door. It was nice and clean. Everything was in order just like the way I found my room. I was surprised at how gorgeous it was. All the trophies I spotted to the left were kept in some cabinet. I guessed kyan was indeed a champion. Victor was surely proud of his bratty brother
"Maybe he left, "I said and turned to leave before he came and caused a scene but I heard the phone ringing again. This time I couldn't help but walk to the bed and peek and see if it was his little girlfriend calling but immediately I looked at the screen it was Victor calling
"Victor?"I mumbled curiously and picked up the phone. It stopped ringing and I saw a lot of missed calls from Victor and there was a message popping on the screen ("I left some files in my room on the table...bring them to me right away...it's urgent") I read the message from Victor, I read the message again and Victor wrote the address. I didn't bother, hence I put back the phone on the bed and went my way. Maybe kyan saw it and took the files to him but why was he calling constantly.
