Chapter 21
After Harley and Sasha saw that their words did not have much effect on Vienna, they decide to resort to another strategy and try to get her jealous by showering all their attention to Benita and caring for her like she is their daughter in law. Vienna stood up to go to the restroom when she cant take their drama anymore and inform them but they completely ignore her and act like she’s not there. Vienna went to the restroom and when she finished easing herself she washed her hands and was about to leave when Karen entered and lock the door after him.
“what do you think you are doing? This is the ladies room” Vienna said but he ignore her and walk near to her with his countenance changed from that of a gentle man to the opposite.
“hi Vienna, its been a while” he greeted with a weird smile.
“i thought you’ve become a better person but looks like you are still the same” Vienna said with a crossed arm. Karen move more closer to her and try to touch her face but Vienna slap his hand away.
“I’ve missed you for the past three years and keep longing and waiting for you p>
“please quit saying that, it sounds creepy and as a reminder you left your fiancee outside remember?” Vienna interrupted.
“are you jealous because am with her? If you want I will break things off with her right now” he said with enthusiasm.
“don’t be delusional, I frankly don’t care” she said and made to walk past him but he pull her back roughly holding her arm tightly.
“after all I have done for you, I came this far just because of you and you still went ahead to choose him over me? Am I not better than him? I’ve loved you for eight years now but all you ever see is him why? You told me you don’t like a blind man and will never marry one then what are you doing with him huh?’ he said like a psychopath and held her more tightly.
“Karen you are hurting me” Vienna cried out in pain. Karen release her immediately he heard her cry
“and you did not do anything for me but trouble me and give me stress. After all this years you still wont leave me alone. Please all am asking is that I don’t want to ever see you again if possible” she screamed at him bitterly. After she came back and saw him, she had thought that maybe he has change and likes Benita now but turns out it was just her wishful thinking. She was a little sacred and thought of how to escape then she heard Alan’s voice and heard him opening the door from outside. Vienna was relieved but Karen become sacred and quickly hid in one of the toilets. Alan entered and called her name again. Then Vienna walk up to him and held his hand.
“am here” she said and they both walk out of the restroom to go meet the rest.
“mother I just got back so I will like you to release Vienna to go with me now” he said and walk out without waiting for her reply obviously angry. Sasha has almost forgotten that Vienna was with them until Alan suddenly enter and ask after her. She also dismiss Harley and Benita and left while Benita went to the restroom to look for Karen. She found him already coming back and they left together.
Vienna followed Alan quietly as they got in to the car and drove off. Then she noticed that apart from the driver, Kellie was also in the car with them.
“so he was together with her for the past one week when she had thought that he was busy with some business” she thought and slowly remove her hand from his then turn to face the other side of the car. Alan noticed her action and turn to look at her but couldn’t see her expression. He just came back from traveling for an urgent business with Kellie. Even though he didn’t attend in person, he took care of almost everything. Working has been part of his life ever since he was twelve and he just doesn’t find relaxation anywhere than in working except some exemption sometimes with Vienna. Back then in high school and also the last time they slept in the same room. He had slept peacefully without having to take some sleeping pills. Immediately he came back he asked the driver to take him home before dropping Kellie then she showed him a post Harley made revealing that they are at one of his mother’s place having dinner. He asked the driver to turn and drive there. He also asked Kellie to found out what Vienna did in the past few days and she reported that she has been invited by a couple of his family member everyday in the last one week. He was a bit upset about it because he knew that they were trying to curry favour with her and she went there like a fool. He felt offended and annoyed
