Victor was sitting in the conference room with a bunch of people he didn't even want to meet but his secretary just had to arrange a meeting which his managing director would have handled. As much as he was the boss, he didn't find their topic of discussion any amusing but he sat there listening while he played with his phoneIt was almost night time and he didn't know why he wanted to go home early. Firstly he was happy because his surrogate was pregnant, the IVF was successful and after nine months he was going to be a father. He was willing to do anything to make sure the child was born healthyHis little surrogate was careless but he planned to get her in line soon how was that possible when she was going against all his rules. Recalling what happened in the morning, he shifted his eyes to his hand and saw the faint red mark which was still there. After so many warnings of her staying away from him, she chose to go against him and he had no choice but to let her be his so-called p
Victor was rendered helpless as he tried to make his surrogate eat something. He didn't want her to experience any sickness and according to Maverick she was weak hence he had to make sure she had something to eatHe wanted to know what exactly caused her to faint. He was told she left with Leonardo which meant his careless friend had to explain why he did something so careless when he knew the condition his surrogate was inSitting comfortably on the bed, Victor held his surrogate in his arms since she didn't seem to be in a position to sit on her own. It was strange how she was awake but was stuck to him. She couldn't even open her eyes"I...don't want...it smells horrible" she mumbled and pushed Victor's hand away and the spoon fell out of his hand. For a while, she had been refusing to eat. He tried hard to make her eat but she kept shoving his hand away"Please eat something…" this time he tried putting some food in her mouth but she ended up throwing up all over him. He was help
(Vivienne)I was supposed to be ashamed at least to feel embarrassed with my behavior but I couldn't help it. I felt so emotional that I couldn't control myself. I was hungry but I didn't like the taste of the food Julia and her team made for meI thought I could have some breather with Leo when we went out to have some ice cream. I was happy but unfortunately, I didn't know how I suddenly got sick. I didn't feel alright and now I was sitting in my bed eating the food Victor made for me. When he came back to the room I was fully awake, I saw surprise in his eyes but I decided to play dumb about everythingHe served me the food and I started eating. At first, I thought I would throw up like the first time but I was stunned when I enjoyed the unique taste of veggies. For the first time, I wanted to eat something and lick the plate. I could get enough or get full. I cleared the bowl of soup and the entire plate. Everything tasted so wonderful that I didn't even notice Victor was in the r
"So...how was your night?"Leo asked with a chuckle as he pulled out a chair and sat down while he watched Victor workouts. He hated doing workouts more than anything because he was blessed with a perfect body and Victor was more addicted to working out despite having a killer body which many women drooled over. It was early in the morning and the house was rather quiet and shaken after the happenings of the previous night. The Vivienne saga had left the entire Ellison family bewildered about how the mighty Victor Ellison entered a kitchen and cooked something. Not a surprise but it was just rare because even Alisa didn't get that pleasure"I heard you sent Jason to look into her...Victor, why is that necessary?"Leo added when he spotted the file lying on the floor just by the dumbbells. He knew everything that went on, especially with Victor. His friend was rather a strange man. He didn't talk that much but he was more of an action manHe just didn't know why he took so long to know a
(Vivienne)"Umm...I'm so sorry I.."I stammered the words out as I averted my eyes away from him and like he saw through me. He adjusted his towel which wasn't nicely wrapped around him. I guessed he had rushed out in the middle of his shower because the water was dripping down his body and face. "Out!" he made a low yell and I flinched from his angry voice and stormed out of the room without wasting time and slammed the door shut. I exhaled heavily as I put my hand on my mouth and felt like slapping myselfI was so stupid that I didn't even know why I was this way. If I knew any better than I would have stayed away from Victor's bedroom and minded my own business but now I had walked in on him while he was nearly naked. It was a bad thing that I saw him the last time in the gym and since then I vowed to avoid such incidents but now I was certain he would think I was doing this on purpose. The thought of him thinking I was a perverted girl made me feel irritated with myself as I walk
(Vivienne)"Are you going to eat all that?""Uh-huh...you got this for me right!?"I nodded and said with my mouthful and looked at the piece of pizza in my hand. Both like me and I spent the entire afternoon together. It was fun hanging out with him that I felt happy"Is that even healthy, sweetheart?"he asked and I frowned and turned to look at him. I was having a good time eating my pizza. I asked him to order one for me because I wanted to eat pizza. I didn't know if it was okay but I had to eat before Victor saw meSince I didn't see him, I guessed he stayed in the study after all. He was kind of weird, sometimes he was cool and other other times he was grumpy like earlier today he was grumpy but I didn't care as I sat with Leo"Sweetie what's happening to you?"After some time Leo prompted on his elbows and turned to look at me. We were sitting outside by the poolside. It was getting dark, the weather was blissful and I loved it. The sky was turning dark, making me relax as I lean
I gulped down water while trying to breathe and ended choking and coughing violently as I kicked viciously through the water. I felt an intense pain in the back of my head not knowing how to get myself upI was helpless. I found myself sinking to the bottom of the pool, I tried bouncing on my tippy toes to get to the surface but my arms and legs gave out as they became even weaker. My breath was agonizingly painful and short as I struggled to keep my head above the water grave that wanted to swallow me whole."H...help"I attempted to voice out but I ended up swallowing a cupful of water immediately when I opened my mouth. I grasped for my last breath of air but its cold water flooded in, my throat burned as if a thousand needles had been plunged into it"H...help"I tried again but I felt powerless as the water kept on dragging me down the bottom. The pool was a deep one and the water was rushing through making me helpless as I felt light. Submerged with water swirling around me, crus
Victor was still not happy with what he was about to do. He saw how his little surrogate was flirting with Leo earlier. She was enjoying his company. He didn't see any husband qualities in Leo as she said and she irritated him that he just wanted to leave her behind. "I'm sure she's going to trouble me," Victor said as he walked towards the pool area. It was dark so why was she still outside? Although the weather was pleasantly nice he still didn't approve of her staying outside hence he hurried there as he fished out his phone from his pockets and looked at the time.He was supposed to go out for a drive just alone but for great exposure, if his surrogate and for the benefit of the baby he was willing to tolerate her just for a night"Ms. Payton?" he called out as soon as he got there but he didn't see anyone. The lights were on giving him a clear view of the entire area.He walked down the pavement as he scanned the surroundings. He looked around but saw no sign of his surrogate. H
