Angry Victor

(Vivienne)

The drive back to the Ellison mansion was a quiet one. I tried to make up a few excuses in my head to tell Victor once we reached but every story I could come up with sounded ridiculous. I felt rage and anxiety trying to look for ways to save my skin. Judging by the way he was driving, I just wanted to die or sleep and never wake up. Victor was a grumpy man, he was good at hiding his emotions even when he was angry it was impossible to know what he felt and because of that I didn't know if he was angry or not

"Victor, you can't blame Kyan for this silly girl's troubles."Monica said with disdain as I sat on the couch with my legs crossed and I lowered my head to the delicious bowl of warm soup I was having. The living room felt heavy with Victor sitting in his chair like a boss while Kyan was kneeling before him but at a distance looking like a soaked cat. He looked ridiculous that I just wanted to look at him for the rest of his life.. Monica was acting as Kyan's lawyer and busy defending him against Victor's wrath. 

I was sitting like an obedient girl. After we got back, Victor ordered the servants to run me a bubble bath. I was stunned at how gentle he was when he carried me from the car and took me inside where we found kyan kneeling in the living room and Monica rushed to us and asked so many questions and I had to say she was furious when she saw me in Victor's arms but it wasn't my fault.

 I was just an innocent girl who kyan tricked. I wondered how he came home earlier than us which meant he left me back at his school. I was taken upstairs and two servants helped me bathe just like every time. This time I needed a serious bath because I looked awful. I had to get rid of the flour, the chocolate from my hair and the dried eggs. 

After I was done I settled for some warm clothes and went downstairs to see what was happening and to my surprise, I sat in the living room where Monica and kyan were and they didn't seem happy to see me. I shrugged and sat down only to be served some hot soup which tasted delicious. Victor walked in some minutes later and the entire atmosphere changed drastically, I got so scared that I lost my appetite knowing full well the hot-looking man wearing black sweatpants with a black long-sleeved muscle shirt would scold me for causing trouble, however, I was stunned when all his anger was directed to kyan. 

I smiled as I drank my soup so innocently. I looked at Victor rather than at kyan. They resembled each other but Victor was more handsome and cool. Or maybe too cool that he had turned cold. Kyan was a jovial type, the one who liked causing trouble the most, and now he was paying for it and he didn't look happy to see me. Even Monica's pleading failed to melt Victor's frozen heart. I had to salute the man, he was good at intimidating others and showing he was in control

"Bro...I know I made a mistake but I asked her to stay in the car...it wasn't my fault that she didn't stay"kyan said more defensively as he glanced at me and his glare was deadly. For a second I thought Victor would turn to scold me but he kept his gaze on Kyan. I was sitting to his side hence I only saw a half of his face but even so he looked rather hot, too hot to handle so I averted my eyes from Kyan and  Monica and fixed them on Victor. He was so mysterious, so interesting. I've never met anyone like him. I loved mysterious things and his personality was so intriguing that I was eager to know him more

What he was like when he was happy. I knew how he behaved when drunk hence that was cropped out but I wanted to know his behavior when happy. His smile, if he had dimples. Did he laugh so much that tears fell from his beautiful eyes? I had so many questions to ask but there was no one to answer them. All I could do was stare at him without blinking. Watching the way his lips moved when he spoke. He was angry but he didn't show his anger

"This was a simple task to see if you can be responsible for once...I gave you a simple thing to do... I entrusted you with someone special...you failed me"Victor said in a low deep voice. I was so startled by his words that I couldn't look away from him. Did he say he entrusted kyan with someone special? For a second I thought something else but when my eyes traveled to my belly I knew he meant the one I was carrying but either way his words felt nice to my ears. I smiled as I focused on my soup 

"Victor, come on...he had work at his school. At least blame Vivienne...Kyan told her to stay in the car but she left"Monica jumped in defensively and I rolled my eyes at that. She was busy defending a careless boy like Kyan. I was just hoping Victor didn't fall for such tricks

"From now on you'll go back to being homeschooled...your credit cards, your cars... everything you own that I gave you will be stripped off" and like a ghost in the night tension fell in the room like someone had dumped a bucket of water on everyone except Victor. His words were like a knife piercing through a soul. I looked up at Kyan and he was shaking his head in denial. Monica looked as if she saw a ghost and I was stunned. Victor was as serious as ever. 

"Bro...you know I need to do my training...you can't do this to…"

"You are irresponsible...no more swimming...you are not allowed to leave this house until I say so... whatever you need will be given... failure to do that then the consequences will be lethal"Victor remarked coldly cutting off Kyan who was about to defend himself and with that, he rose to his feet, glanced at me for a while then walked away leaving Kyan holding his head and Monica looking as if she had been soaked with cold water. She couldn't do anything or save Kyan from Victor's wrath. I felt sorry for him but then something hit me

If Kyan was going to get home lessons, he'd get very prestigious lecturers to teach him at home which meant I could sneak in and learn something

My eyes widened when I thought about Victor's words. It turned out Kyan's silly mistake benefited me. We were the same age and the same grade. I smiled when I thought about my luck and I would have run to Victor and hugged him for being so kind

"This is your fault...I would like to know why you won't stop causing trouble...why are you always causing trouble"Monica's angry voice brought me back to reality and immediately my smile dropped as I looked up at the angry lady. I didn't see Kyan anywhere and I guessed he went to his room boiling with rage. He was doomed to stay at home and never live a luxurious life of spending money

"It wasn't my fault...Victor told him to bring me back and he took me to his school" I replied more boldly, even Victor knew that it wasn't my fault. Unless I asked Kyan to take me to some other place then they would have blamed me but I was innocent

"You are nothing but trouble...ugh!!"Monica said but ended up groaning out of frustration looking as if she could strangle me right there and then but she controlled her anger and stormed away

"What a weird family!"I muttered when I was the only one remaining in the living room. Looking down at the bowl in my hand, I noticed that I finished all the soup. I smiled when I raised the shirt I was wearing to see my belly full and smiled

"Look here kiddo...you are my ticket out of trouble...I'm sure with you in my belly...the grumpy man will overlook all my mistakes...my lucky charm" I said with a huge smile running my hand on my smooth belly. I couldn't stop smiling at the lucky situation awaiting me that when I looked up ready to go, I froze when I found the person I wasn't expecting standing there looking at me with a confused expression. For the first time, I saw an expression on Victor's face. He was staring at me with confused eyes and I quickly dropped my shirt and awkwardly cleared my throat and rose to my feet nearly stumbling around but I balanced on my feet 

"H...hello sir...I" like a fool I greeted him. I was so stupid that I even saw my stupid face and just wanted to slap myself several times for acting like a jerk. I lifted my head to look up and I found Victor standing there still looking at me. His gaze was a little scary. I failed to keep my head up not sure why

"Are you hungry?" Victor muttered the words in a way that made his voice sound strange to my ears. I wondered why it sounded more fruity like he was being forced to talk but I like his deep voice, more manly and a lot sexy. I shook my head brushing away the bad thoughts I had as the question I wasn't expecting came from him and I instantly looked up at him with wide eyes. He was back to his cold self and I knew he was grumpy again. I wasn't hungry, was I? I thought and rubbed my belly and we were full hence I shook my head slowly and like an arrogant man he was. Victor walked away before I could even say anything to him and I was left standing there like an abandoned child

"Oh well….it's still early for bed...let's go find Tiny, "I said mischievously and giggled a little and started looking around for Victor's little puppy. I was hoping to let it spend the night with me in my room without the grumpy owner knowing about it. Unfortunately, when I set out to find Tiny, I ended up finding him in Victor's room. Victor was not there hence I stayed playing with the puppy but I ended up falling asleep in the process.
