Vivian gave one Last breath before coming down from the taxi, back to the Same house she grew up in to celebrate her father and step mother anniversary, a place she once called home.
Vivian walked inside, avoiding curious gazes of the guest, she sighted her father talking to some guest with her step mother Evelyn, smiling brightly, her jewelry and clothes screamed wealth.
And at the other side was Kate her step sister, giggling annoyingly with her friends.
Like Kate knew someone was watching her , turned and saw Vivian, scanning her then grinned, leaving her friends she walked up to her parents and made them aware of Vivian's presence.
All these while Vivian saw the actions of Kate and knew she was up to no good, Evelyn and Kate would make fun of her dressing after succeeding on taking her inheritance from her late mother and throwing her out of the family.
Seeing them coming towards her.
Vivian took a glass of wine from the waiter and gulped it at once. "let's get over with this". She said.
"Vivian dear, I'm glad you came, I thought you didn't have enough money to come here, or don't tell me you came here empty handed".
Evelyn said loudly getting everyone's attention, "Scoundrels, after taking her inheritance from her, they still want more", Vivian thought. "Well two can play this game".
"Sadly I didn't think I should bring any gift, since you have taken my inheritance and disowned me, I'm not more than a guest, or rather a stranger" Vivian said killing two birds with one stone.
She just made it public that her inheritance was taken from her and she was disowned.
The guest began to murmur, Kate scoffed at Vivian, Evelyn and James Vivian father fumed, but to keep a good image they smiled .
"Now us not the right time to talk about this, let's enjoy the party "James said giving a warning to Vivian, Evelyn glared at her and they both walked away, leaving the two sisters behind.
Kate grinned at Vivian dressing, "I knew you were struggling but don't you have money to buy better clothes", she mocked, Vivian scoffed, "That's much, coming from someone who's mother stole my inheritance and has never worked for a dime in her entire life" she replied.
Kate laughed loudly, getting everyone's attention, " you could have come to beg us for Money, maybe we might just give you".
Vivian rolled her eyes, "The next time am coming is with a lawyer to get back my inheritance, and I promise you, it will be fun watching all of you loose everything you have". Vivian said, earning a glare from Kate.
The sound of a fork hitting a glass distracted the girls and caught everyone else's attention.
"Good evening everyone, I appreciate you for coming to our Anniversary and also for the wonderful gifts you gave us..." Vivian rolled her eyes, Evelyn was a gold digger and she didn't even bother to hide it.
"Mr. Keaton, my company has a new product we would like you to partner with". Nicholas eyes narrowed at the stranger, he still can't say what made him accept the Bowes's invitation.
"Mr. Keaton, glad you made it", James said enthusiastically, " We would accept anything you gift us", Evelyn said, her eyes filled with greed, Nicholas eyes narrowed.
"My daughter would love to speak with you, if you could grant her wish we would be very glad", James said, Evelyn nodded in agreement.
"Do I look like a genie to you Mr. Bowes"?, "er.. no", "so why should I grant your daughters wish?, don't make me more pissed than I am!" Nicholas said.
"s.. sorry about that , the balcony is off limits, you can go there to avoid any disturbances" James said. " I will see you later to talk about the business deal" James said but Nicholas has started to walk away.
Nicholas stared at the woman sleeping on the bench at the balcony, he's eyes narrowed, "it might just be one of her plans to get to him" he thought, "This place is supposed to be off limits", he said loudly starling the lady, she yawned and blinked , accessing him.
"And you are?", the blue eyed blonde asked him.
Nicholas eyes raised in amusement.
"you look like a celebrity, someone Kate would surely fall in love with, your face looks familiar tho, ah!, I remember, Nicholas Keaton, the CEO of Waston Company, the lady continued.
"And I assume you are Vivian, the black sheep?", Nicholas asked figuring who she was from the way she addressed Kate.
Vivian scoffed , " so that's what they call me, well that's what I am, are you here for Kate?, you look like her type" Vivian said, Nicolas lips quirked.
"And you?, am I not your type?", he asked.
Vivian looked at Nicholas, he was definitely handsome, every woman's dream, but not her's.
"I don't believe in love, just want a peaceful life and get my mother's property back", her eyes shining which disappeared as fast as it appeared.
"what about you, am sure you are not here for just my father's anniversary, you must be looking for a wife, Kate maybe" she asked.
"Never, no offense on that, but All the ladies just want love or money, and I don't plan on falling in love, and I don't want to marry just any woman" Nicholas said.
"No offense taken, you are right", but I'm different, I'm not like other ladies, what about a marriage contract?".
