Chapter 84: Chapter 84

(Vivienne)

"Is it big yet?"I asked the only person who invaded my room so early in the morning and was sleeping in my bed like some man-child and snuggling to my pillow saying it smelled like Victor and me. Of course, kyan was just trying to play mind games with me with his ridiculous theories about his older brother's feelings. I didn't care about Victor but getting a baby bump which I was seizing upstairs didn't in front of the mirror

"Nah...it's too early dummy...now stop talking," Kyan said in a lazy tone, more like he didn't want to speak at all. I frowned as I turned to all the right sides just to make sure my tummy was not big. I wondered when it would start showing

"Ugh...at least I need to see something…. even a leg will be nice" I grew out of frustration and shoved my shirt down. I looked at myself in the mirror for a while before I walked back to the little lounge by the open window. It was morning already, I took a shower, ate just like the doctor instructed, and took my medicines. The entire time kyan and been sleeping in my bed as if it belonged to him

("Hey Cass") I sent a text to Cassy. Last night I didn't know how I fell asleep again and ended up in bed but early today Kyan told me Victor happened. I sighed as I slammed the phone beside me and I dragged my feet off the carpet and rested them on the sofa and hugged my knees close to my chest. It felt so strange, I felt weird about everything. Nine months was all the way there and so far I was having mixed emotions

"Kyan...is Vic a doctor?"I asked and glanced towards my bed and Kyan was stretching his arms and rubbing his eyes as he sat up and looked at me with a lazy expression. For a kid, he was way too spoiled and Victor was the man to blame for it

"Yeah" he simply said and jumped out of bed. I narrowed my eyes and looked at my fingers. The last time I asked Justin, he seemed uncomfortable talking about Victor but Kyan was open. Whenever I asked him a question he answered hence I wanted to know if Victor was a doctor and why he didn't just work in the hospital if he was capable

"Why doesn't he work in the hospital?"I muttered the question out as just kyan dropped on the sofa I was sitting in since it was big and he yawned as he leaned on my shoulder and hooked his arms around my body. He was such a way that I failed to shrug him away. It seemed he was feeling sleepy for him to be yawning and sleeping around like he was the one pregnant

"Well dad didn't want him to be a doctor...our dad owned the largest company across the country...we have a bank and a factory...so typically speaking it makes Victor the one to take over, "Kya remarked as he snuggled even more to my shoulders. He was such a baby but I was ready to tolerate him as long as he told me something about Victor

"And?"I wanted to know more and Kyan yawned and shivered a little. Of course, he was bound to shiver. We were sitting directly at the open window and the weather wasn't so pleasing. It seemed the snow wasn't planning to stop any time soon and I was happy that way I could request some hot chocolate later without Victor saying no

"Mom owned a hospital...she was a surgeon... unfortunately something happened and she died. Since then dad was always bitter about anyone, especially his children being doctors," Kyan added and I could sense the sadness in his voice. I sat there feeling his stable breathing as I waited for him to finish. I wanted to ask what happened to their mom for their father to hate anything to do with a hospital however I chose to let it go since the topic seemed to be a sensitive one to Kyan

"Vic wanted to be like mom and become a…"Kyan was about to finish his sentence when the door to my bedroom opened and Kyan moved away from my shoulder just as Monica walked in looking all elegant in a pair of soft jeans. A tuck in a brown blouse and her hair tied in a bun. I rose to my feet knowing she was going to lash out and tell me how much she hated having me around

"So I see you came back," she said looking at me with that disdainful look I knew too well. For a while now I had been ignoring her because I didn't want to recall what I saw in Justin's office. I nodded with a smile trying not to make things awkward

"Kyan...leave us alone," she said, turning her attention to Kyan and I heard him groan as he rose to his feet and walked to the door. We waited until Kyan was out of sight when I looked at Monica

"You don't have to worry I won't…"I started saying before she could lecture me but she cut me off with her hand and I saw nothing but hate in her eyes

"I'm not here for that...that's my private life and I'd appreciate it if you don't go around barging in people's offices without knocking," she said in a serious voice as she walked around me. I wondered how she managed to carry herself like some prestigious lady. Chin high, straightened back, and always in high heels and heavy makeup, she smelled nice too and I wanted to know more about her secret love story with Justin. They didn't seem like two people who would share an intimate relationship.

Justin was on the Beta side, he wasn't so dominant or arrogant but calm like the serene waters of the sea which I appreciated for being a doctor but Monica. She was like a mean witch with a bad attitude not to say anything bad but she was way too controlling and thought the world spun around her. They made a terrible couple if anyone asked me unfortunately who was I to judge

"Then why are you here?"I asked when she finally stood in front of me. By now I wasn't scared of her, I had to handle her my way and show her I could be twice as intimidating as her

"I'm sure Vic already told you about the little trip he's going to take tomorrow," she said and my eyes widened at her words. I didn't know Victor was going somewhere. No one to me, not even Kyan or Julia who had been in my room so what was she talking about and where was Victor going

"B...but where is he going?"I was not sure why I didn't like the idea of Victor going away. How on Earth was he going away and for how long

"Make sure you keep your little hands to yourself because I won't be there...I know you want Victor...those little eyes of yours are fixed on a man older than you"Monica, lashed out bitterly and I was even more confused. If Victor was going alone then why was she bothered unless

"I'm going too?"I asked with an exclamation feeling butterflies in my stomach. My lips quivered upwards and I found myself smiling like a fool. I didn't care if Monica was there but if I was going somewhere and he was taking me then it was the best news ever

"What rubbish" she spat out with a glare and walked away heading to the door. I stood there still smiling to myself. I was so happy that I would have jumped on the bed out of happiness but I cooled my racing heart and rushed to the closet. I needed to find the nicest clothes to wear but where was he going that I had to go with him

I stopped just as I was about to go through my clothes and moved backward,

"Calm down Vivie...you seem like some teenage girl in love" I mumbled to myself and moved away from the closet. I decided to go for a walk in the garden before I got over my head thinking about something which wasn't possible. Monica was having ideas about me, it was best I didn't give her a reason to point fingers at me.

Meanwhile, Leo was with Victor in his study room. The man was now staying at home more than usual. He was as serious as ever but he still had to explain why he decided to leave his own home five days ago and like his behavior wasn't enough. Vivienne too was acting so strange,  she left the house and wanted to live in an apartment

"Are you sure you haven't seen Vivienne before? '' Leo asked as he played with the things on the desk and looked at his friend suspiciously. Of course, Victor was working from home. He the so many things to do and hearing Leo was adding to his headache

Leo didn't bother that Victor didn't answer

"That night when you said you cheated on Alisa...what did you mean?"Leo was at it again. He had so many questions to ask Victor. The two had been friends for years but even now he failed to understand his friend

"Make use of the time you have and work...I don't want things done at the last minute" Victor spoke nonchalantly without even looking at Leo. Of course, Leo wasn't bothered about working. If he signed a contract with Victor then he had nothing to worry about

"You can leave your Surrogate Vic... we'll take care of her...why take her"Leo added frowning at how victor was very adamant about taking Vivienne with him

"She's my Surrogate, not yours...if you desperately want someone to keep you company...find your own Surrogate"Victor lashed out angrily not sure why everyone wanted his Surrogate. If they wanted one then why not get and leave him in peace

"I'm taking her because she belongs to me" Victor added as he slammed his laptop shut and rose to his feet angrily. He didn't waste time as he stormed out of the study room leaving Leo dumbstruck as he sat there with wide eyes not believing what he just heard. He couldn't help but grin like a child as he glanced towards the closed door as his brows knitted together suspiciously.
