CHAPTER EIGHTEEN | UNWANTED BUT ESSENTIAL COMFORT VIVIAN ADDAMS I silently watched Lucas Knight break down at the entrance of Ginna's cottage. I watched him hold her hands when she took her final breath, I watched him tremble as he held her. I watched his face as different emotions went through him. I watched him hug her for the final time, and now, I'm watching him making sure that she has the best burial ever. I may not have known Ginna for as long as Ada or Lucas knew her but for the little time I knew her, I concluded that she is an angel sent to the Knight's family to watch over Luke. She took him like her own son, and did things only the real mother of a child would do for her own child. For the two years I worked in the Knight's mansion, I saw how she took care of Luke, watched over him, scolded him, and protected him to the best of her powers from Mr Knight. It feels like a dream, watching her being lowered to the grave. Ginna requested for a small burial, just her fa
CHAPTER NINETEEN | A CHANCE VIVIAN ADDAMS In my hands, Luke breaks down completely, and the tears he has been holding in was let loose. “Ginna told me something before she died. She said I should give you a chance in my life, she said I won't regret it. I have decided to give you a chance to make me fall in love with you, don't fuck things up." Luke whispers.Wow! Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming.Someone should please wake me up from this sweet, sweet dream. “Am I dreaming?" I ask in a daze. I stop hugging him, I slap myself to make sure it isn't a dream. I look around, expecting to see myself on my bed, wishing my dream becomes reality. “I am still dreaming. I need to wake up." I say out loud and slap myself again. I don't stop hitting myself until Luke holds my hand. “You ain't dreaming, Viv." He chuckles. I am not.“Could you please repeat what you said earlier." I ask “I said I will give us a chance. Honestly, I find your obsession with me amusing. I have been curiou
CHAPTER TWENTY | STOLEN DOCUMENTS VIVIAN ADDAMS I don't know what I was thinking when I agreed to be Lucas's Personal assistant, I literally signed up to be his slave. He has been bossing me around since I started working for him and the fact that I can't do anything isn't making this better. He asked me to print some documents and when I couldn't, he called me a poor, fake brat. I wouldn't mind the name he called me since he has called me much worse names, but it's the fact that he said it in front of his other staff that is annoying me. He promised the give me a chance in his life, but the only chance he has given me so far is to be the object of his ridiculous abuses.I became the clown in the office the moment I stepped into it. “Have you photocopied the documents?" Lucas asked as I presented him the documents he asked me to make copies of earlier. Deciding to be petty, I didn't reply to him. He stops reading the things on his table and turns to look at me. “Mrs Knight?" H
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE | UNWELCOMED VISITORVIVIAN ADDAMS“I didn't steal anything," I scream for the fiftieth time today.“I only took the documents to make copies since that is my fucking job." I cry out again. “You need my permission to do shit like that. You should have asked me before taking them. You just made me make a fool of myself in front of everyone." He hisses. A fool? If he thinks he made a fool of himself, what then would we call the embarrassment he put me through? He literally called me a fucking thief in front of all his staff members. “You should have asked me before making assumptions." “You should have asked me before carrying out assignments." He retorts. We are in the car, heading home, and saying that Luke is mad at me would be an understatement. He thought I stole the documents, but I explained that I only went to make copies of them like he asked me to. I also made a big deal out of it and made him seem like the bad guy who is bullying his wife at work. Ever
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO | VERA KNIGHTLUCAS KNIGHT “Who is she, Lucas Knight?" Vivian asks calmly, but the fire In her eyes tells me that she is nothing close to being calm. “Someone that is not important," I reply nonchalantly.“I ask again Luke, who the fuck is the old Barbie doll?" “That is none of your fucking business Vivian. Get out! I need to speak to her." I ordered Vivian.My actions are probably not the best thing to do in this situation but do I care? No, I absolutely don't give a fuck.“Pardon his manners, he didn't have parents to teach him any," Vera tells Viv in a very sweet tone. “Shut up Vera," I hiss at her.“Since Lukey boy has refused to introduce me, I will do the honour myself. I am Vera Knight." She announces. Vivian is silently staring at me with a look that is begging me to tell her that Vera is lying about her name.Unfortunately, I hope is crumbled as I can only look away from her.“Oh my goodness! I can't believe this." Vivian laughs crazily.She is giving
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE | HORRIBLE DATEVIVIAN ADDAMS Let me that you on a date to make up for what I did today. I wasn't joking when I said I will give you a chance in my life." Luke says. “Are you serious?" I exclaim in joy. “Yes. Go get dressed." He stands up and walks inside before I can reply. I wonder where he would take me, I can't believe he was serious about giving me a look. I run Inside in excitement and quickly get dressed. I squeal in excitement as TheI finish dressing up. Walking down, and following the sound of someone cursing loudly, I head to the kitchen. I see Luke in tears, giving the onions he is chopping the middle finger. “What is going on here?" I ask in amusement. “Our date. I'm making dinner for us." He smiles and continues chopping the onion, acting like he isn't literally shedding tears. “I don't think that is a good idea. You have never cooked anything in your life." “I know, but One thing you don't know about me is that I'm good at anything and eve
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR |THE UNKNOWN VIVIAN ADDAMSHe freezes after taking the bit and his eyes widen in amazement. Just as fast as he takes the first bite, he spits it out like his mouth is on fire. “What the fuck is this?" “The food you prepared, the one you praised so much. The food Mr perfect is going to eat right now. You must finish the food Mr perfect." I smile widely. “How the hell did you even manage to chew this shit? It tastes worse than shit." He says chugging down the wine he poured for me earlier. “Have you tasted shit before Mr perfect?" I ask teasingly.“Of course not. The thought of it alone is disgusting, not to talk of imagining or doing it." Like shudders. “Then how do you know that the food taste like shit if you have never tasted shit." He ignores me and pulls his phone out of his pocket. “I am just going to order pizza." He walks out of the room as I make gest of him. “Mr perfect, come back here and eat your pasta shit! It tastes amazingly shitty." He come
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE | PROBLEM WITH BIANCAVIVIAN ADDAMS 4 MONTHS LATERThings have been going fine between Luke and me and just as he promised, he gave me a chance. I have never been as happy as I am now in my entire life. Lucas has been making efforts to know me and I have discovered things I could never have found out about him through stalking. I stopped walking at the office after I got fired and Ada resumed the next day. Luke sent her back home but she insisted that she was perfectly fine. I know she isn't fine, there is this distant look in her eyes and she is anxious around everyone. “Luke, where did you put the knife?" I ask the idiot eating almost everything he sees. After the failed dinner date, Lucas decides to learn how to cook since he can not bear the fact that he is not good at everything. Apparently, he has always been perfect and won't let anything stop his perfection. Teaching Lucas Knight how to cook is probably one of the worst decisions I have ever made in m
