Rescued her
"Mr. Ellison, we are very grateful for sparing your precious time to see us?"Victor sat in the principal's office and listened to the so-called board of the school. This was the school his little brother went to, not as he cared but they had his trust in terms of giving out funds or scholarships but now he was hell bored listening to them praise him nonstop. He was aware of how fake their praises were but he chose to entertain them by nodding at their words.
Beverly stood to the sides as she listened to everything that was said, she knew her boss was not in the mood especially when he had a lot of things to do back at the office. If not for the fact that he was a well-known businessman who everyone adorned then he would have declined to come to the school
"And to conclude our discussion...we would like to give you a tour of the entire school so that you can tell us...if it's acceptable" the principal said with a smile and rose to his feet. So did Victor and they carefully guided him out of the large office and outside the corridors. Four of his bodyguards walked to the sides while Beverly remained behind keeping her distance. The entire school was rather quiet. She guessed the students were well behaved however once they left the main building and turned to the right heading towards the library where they wanted to show Victor their newly remodeled library. They stopped when they heard commotion around. Students were screaming and cheering as if something was happening
"Principal, is there something wrong?"Beverly asked, turning to the principal whose face looked ashen white. He seemed to be sweating knowing full well it wasn't lunchtime already nor were the students allowed to be outside during learning hours. Victor narrowed his eyes suspiciously looking at the principal who kept on praising his students that they were in good condition and their behavior was good but now he was having second thoughts not like he cared but he knew he had an irresponsible little brother who did stupid things. Kyan was way too spoiled not by him but by his late wife, she made him get away with everything but now he and to know he saw his little brother's sportscar outside. The chances of Kyan causing trouble or getting into trouble were there
"P...please sir...I'll take a look kindly wait here" the principal stammered nervously as he adjusted his specs not sure how they released loose, sweat dripped from his forehead as he turned to Victor hoping he would go for now but Victor had his eyes to where the noises were coming from
"I'll take a look," he said again and made his way to where the noises were even louder. He was bound to punish all of them if they were up to something bad. He praised them in the role of a reputed man but now he would think he liked everything and everyone knew having Victor Ellison visit their school was good as would make all parents bring their children to his school, therefore, increasing their good reputation but now his hard work was going to be ruined.

(Vivienne)
It wasn't the first time I got such bad treatment, I didn't care or bother to beg. I hated begging or pleading for something especially if I didn't do anything wrong
"I wonder why she came here for...such a stupid girl" I heard a girl say in disdain and noises followed by a crazy uproar. I was defenseless and hoping Kya would show up and try to tell them I wasn't stealing anything.
"I'm sure her school is so bad she came to steal from us*I didn't even know who spoke because all of them were busy talking as they covered my body in chocolate. It was funny how they broke eggs on me, splashed flour over me, and had hot chocolate in my hair which dripped down my face and tasted awful when I accidentally opened my mouth to protest but now I kept my lips sealed afraid that the disgusting things might enter my mouth. I felt so sticky and completely drenched, my thighs were covered in chocolate and eggs that I couldn't stand it anymore. I wanted to fight back but already I saw how violent they were and I couldn't afford a kick in the stomach hence I remained kneeling on the pavement while ten of them surrounded me, my knees were bleeding from kneeling for a long time on the hard ground. I guessed the pack was led by Ryan who was busy giving orders to other students
"You should have begged little one...anyone who comes here and pretends to be a star has to pay"it was Ryan who spoke as he stopped in front of me. He used a stick or baseball bat to lift my head. I couldn't even open my eyes due to the sticky things covering my face. My white dress had turned brown and I knew it was forever stained
"Do...you think I care huh...do your fucking worse because I didn't steal anything!" this time I failed to keep my mouth shut. The so-called Ryan thought so highly of himself. I've heard how the brats behaved in third schools. The last time my team and I came, we beat them in basketball on their grounds and I guess he recognized me to get his revenge. The entire crowd heard me and they went silent, obviously surprised but I couldn't care less.
"You bitch thinks I'm on the same level as you!" he growled out and prepared to slap me and I turned my head away before his meaty hand could connect with my face, he stopped Midway when someone spoke. I wanted to look up and confirm that the voice I heard wasn't of the man I thought it was
"That's enough"again the voice spoke, this time my hands turned cold. I could feel sweat forming all over my body when I noticed how quiet the place was. I knew he acknowledged his deadly aura. The boy who had been acting like a star remained on the ground and although I wasn't looking at them I knew fear when I sensed it as once I saw a group of men in suits surround me.
I cursed under my breath wondering how my day turned from bad to worst. It was better when I was getting humiliated but now the main boss and arrived and I was so doomed
"How could you...what are you doing here!"I heard a man yelling but it wasn't Victor. The voice sounded scared as well. I moved my head in its original position not daring to look up but when I saw all the students bullying me dropped to their knees and started begging, I peeked a little only to avert my eyes away because Victor was standing in front of me looking at me with narrowed eyes.
If he showed anger. I would have taken it but he was just staring. There was a middle-aged man with white and black hair standing to the sides and I guessed he was important seeing the expensive vintage suit he was wearing.
"Please sir...don't do this"
"Sir please...she came to steal we had to teach her a lesson"
I heard all the begging rising among the screen students. I wanted to laugh. It turned out that they were aware of Victor after all but what was he doing there. My question remained unanswered when I heard heavy heel steps coming my way
"Oh, God... Vivie what happened here!" this time I heard Beverly's voice and came approaching me but she stopped because Victor raised his hand for her to stop
"S..sir.I'm sorry I…who is she...I didn't know you came with someone and I..."
"Expel them all and make sure they don't return to this school... failure to that then I'll shut down this school immediately" to my shock Victor cut the man off and said coldly. I felt my back hair rise from dear when he said the word expel. In the notice, I felt a coat drape around my shoulders, and just by the sweet scent, I knew who it belonged to.
While the students were begging Victor wrapped his coat around me securely. I failed to understand if he didn't see how dirty I was but I slowly looked up and met his gaze, he didn't react or show anger but to my shock. He lowered to my level
"Trouble" I heard Victor mumble and before I could defend myself. I pulled away from the cold ground and I found myself in his arms.
"S...sir I...I can walk. I" I blurted out wanting him to put me down. I looked around and everyone was busy staring at me. Even Beverly standing to the sides was looking at me in a shy way. I wanted to die right there and then but Victor ignored my words and secured me in his arms. I saw whatever they splashed on me stained his white shirt.
My dirty hands with chocolate and raw eggs smeared on his back and neck area. It was embarrassing but I was rendered speechless when he carried me away from there with his arms strongly wrapped around my trembling body. My heart didn't stop beating rapidly even when we walked to the parking area, I failed to keep my body still.
This was the first time someone defended me. I knew, later on, he would scold me but his actions back then left questions in my heart. I didn't stop wondering even when the guards in suits rushed to open the backseat door for Victor. His expression was a serious one.
He didn't show any emotions and like every time he was mysterious. I wanted to know if he was upset and why he acted like that. Wasn't he supposed to question me why I ended up at the school and in trouble but he carefully settled me in the car? This was one of his guards. I could see the other one where his guards used and Beverly, I was dirty and he could have put me there but now I was thinking again.
"I'll stay here and handle the matter"Beverly came rushing and said to Victor with a bow but Victor just nodded
"Vivie, are you okay? '' she peeked inside where I was sitting innocently and I looked at her feeling embarrassed, and nodded a little. She smiled at me and left from there. I slowly tried to remove the coat from my dirty body but one cold look from Victor made me stop as I lowered my head even more
"Keys" I heard Victor say and in no time the keys were handed to him and to my surprise he took the driver's seat, settled in and slammed the door shut scaring me even more. I was frightened. Was he going to drive, what was he thinking about. The car started and I was still restless. I knew I made a mistake. Why wasn't he scolding me?
