Chapter 97: Chapter 97

Victor failed to get his Surrogate in control. No matter how he tried to keep her away from the nearly dead man. She brutally dug the knife into his flesh and he swore it hurt more than anything but he didn't want her to commit a crime

"You pig will die by my hands...how dare you to touch me...you acted so smart...rascal!" she growled out with so much rage that Victor was stunned. He wanted to stop her but her anger was on another level. Her breathing was scary for a woman; she seemed a little savage. For a second he didn't understand how she failed to defend herself but what he heard next shocked him that he didn't believe

"I'm pregnant you beast...how dare you try to hurt the baby...do you know how precious he is...you deserve to die"she spat out bitterly as the man started crawling away from her. He was lifeless as he begged and cried to be left alone but Victor was still in shock, dumbstruck. He thought she was concerned about herself. They hit her head badly and she was bleeding but she was punishing the man because she touched her when she was pregnant

"The police are useless...I take the law into my own hands" she said and Victor saw as she grabbed the man by his neck so easily. For a second he thought she was some savage thug beating up a half-dead man

"Damn it"Victor muttered a low curse and rushed to save the man who was dying in his Surrogate's hands

"Ms. Payton that's... enough...let him go, "He said while trying to pull her away but she was acting up, Victor didn't know why she got kidnapped in the first place and called him. She turned on her location on her phone that was how he found her easily and now she wanted to chop the men into little pieces. She was bleeding badly and when the police arrived to get the criminals. He managed to take her to the car

"Stupid man...you should have let me handle him...you handled him, soft sir...you should have gouged his eyes out and fed them to the dogs!" she said bitterly while he dragged her out of the warehouse with his coat around her. Victor didn't say anything but he promised to be careful with her. For a girl, she was rather vicious and conniving. She appeared small but when angry she was a true definition of a female hulk version

"Take them away...men like him deserve to die but you are the law, "Victor said to the police since he had to act like a civilized man not like some vicious mafia man. He wanted to handle this the right way but saw his Surrogate peeking out the car window. He knew she was troublesome

"Don't worry Mr. Ellison...this man and his gang will be locked up in jail...they are bad men who harass women...thanks for catching them"the chief police said to Victor but he only nodded

"It's okay...just send my reward for handling them" his Surrogate answered from inside the car and Victor massaged his temples not sure why she said that..to her everything was about money but he didn't say anything when he knew how she was by now

"Thanks, sir...thanks for rescuing us," she said with giggles and snuggled to his coat like she was some kid. Victor didn't say anything but shook his head and drove away from there. It was dark and isolated, the thugs brought his Surrogate to some abandoned warehouse but luckily he knew every city like the back of his hand.

(Vivienne)

"I told you we are fine...sir that nurse was being a mean witch," I said, still pressing my hand on my arm where I got injected. Victor was not happy because I refused to get a shot so he ended up doing it himself

After we left the warehouse, he took me straight to the hospital to check if I was fine. I told him I was alright but he didn't believe me and now both of us reached the hotel and I was happy as I walked forward

He fixed my face where I was hurt and put a little bandage and plaster. It wasn't hurting before but now it stung a little

"Thank goodness you came back sir...is everything okay?"The manager said immediately as we entered the lobby.

"We are fine" I answered instead, seeing how Victor looked. The man was just a natural grumpy man I wondered if they dropped him when he was young

"We are happy to inform you that...the madam's room is ready...her things have been shifted there," the manager said upon hearing what he had to say. My son flew out of my body. The smile on my face dropped and my eyes shifted to Victor and I waited to hear what he did say

"Hmm" was the only thing he said and walked away heading to the elevator. He left me standing there like a miserable fool and I didn't know why I felt bad

"This way Ms"

Just like that, I was taken to my room. It was beautiful and different and on a different floor than Victor. It was far away from Victor's room and I didn't know why I felt so sad being away from him

The past few nights I shared a room with Victor. It felt nice and peaceful but now the room seemed like an open space with zero emotions or feelings. I felt empty inside being in the deserted room

"It's nice Vivie...it has a big bed...a big balcony and a window," I said as I crawled into my bed and took my phone. I just freshened up and ate something. It was after midnight and I couldn't get any sleep

"Why is he doing?"I muttered scrolling through my phone wondering what Victor was up to.

I guessed he was sleeping. "Should I text him?"I debated on what to do but dropped the idea. What if he was sleeping. I was certain he wouldn't see the message but if he didn't then it was fine

("Hey sir...are you awake")I sent the message and tossed the phone to the sides of just bed and I dropped down lying on the opposite side exhaling and inhaling as I tried closing my eyes to get some shut eyes

"He won't reply...he's sleeping Vivi," I told myself knowing I was being a jerk to text Victor after midnight. I was about to get my phone and throw it away but soon it vibrated and with lightning speed, I rushed to get it

("Yes")a text came from Victor and my eyes widened in shock. I didn't know what was happening but my lips quivered upwards into a smile that I felt butterflies in my stomach as I nervously started typing not sure what to say

("What are you doing sir?") I asked and slammed the phone down. My finger crossed hoping he would reply and yes, my phone vibrated

("Working...do you need anything...Ms. Vivienne?")I read another and my heart skipped a beat. He didn't say Ms. Payton but he used my first name. I was jumping on the bed like a kid failing to contain my happiness

I was on cloud nine s I dropped on the bed and sat cross-legged

("Yes...I want some ice cream sir...can I get some now?" I sent and closed my eyes but I peeker with my right eye to see if he would say something sarcastic but within seconds it vibrated

("Which flavor?") The question came from Victor and I was over the top. I was actually text chatting with Victor and he was good at replying

("All the flavors")I sent and immediately he replied saying he'd send someone. I slammed my phone down hating him more than anything

I thought he would bring my ice cream, at least I wanted him to bring himself but he was sending someone

Of course, it was late at night and Victor was a big deal so it was fair for him to send a helper to bring my ice cream. I was craving something cold and ice cream was it, time passed by and I was still waiting

"Coming," I said and jumped out of bed and rushed to get to the door since someone knocked. I guessed Victor was quick with sending his minions and now I was not going to see him before I went to bed

"Hey, I…"I said upon opening the door but the words died in my mouth and to my great shock, the person standing there wasn't the one I was expecting he saw the shock on my face, Victor knitted his brows together

"Ms. Payton may I come in?" he muttered showing me the heavy things he was holding in his arms and like a fool, I regained my wits and

"Ahem...y...yes...please come in, "I said, clearing my throat awkwardly and moving out of the way. Victor looked at me for a while and walked right in. He didn't have to say anything, I was decently dressed although I was wearing white shorts with a loose white t-shirt and cute pink socks.

I closed the door and walked to the table. I had a little sitting room or area just beside my bed and Victor had all the many flavors of ice cream. I was stunned to see four boxes of Chinese food. I didn't order for that so how come and why did he bring himself

"Sit" he said softly but I didn't know why I felt weird having him in my room.
