Chapter 31: Office Visit

~ Vivienne's POV It was already 3:30 PMI kept checking my phone every few minutes that passed. Why was I doing that? In my defense, I just wanted to know how Lorenzo handled the board meeting and what happened exactly. ...It was also nice to text Lorenzo too. From what I'd heard, the meeting was meant to have started by 2 PM. I and Lorenzo had discussed about him and planned on how we'd take Marco and the entire Blackwell group down. But the first target was Marco. The person that made my heart burn with revenge was none other than Marco. And I already made up my mind to drag him down.After I had made my research on him, it was already funny enough that he had remained almost stagnant in the five years that I had been gone. 'Belinda is definitely the one who helped him.' I was damn sure. I knew my ex-husband so much that I knew what he was capable of and what he wasn't. He was a lazy and spoilt bastard who loved when others did the work for him. He only wanted to reap where he

Chapter 32: A Real Man

~ Vivienne's POV His emerald eyes turned serene as he spoke to me. That was enough to tell me that it was something serious. "Unexpected?" I echoed, trying to make meaning of what he had said. He nodded. "But good news first."I remained quiet, anticipation running through me. I wanted to hear about what he did. "At first, the old man appointment the both of us Co-CEOs.""Co-CEOs?" I'd never heard such a title or position. Especially not in a setting such as the Blackwell Group. "Yeah... First time I heard of something like that too. That geezer really wanted me to share the position with my stupid nephew."Judging by the expression on his face, I knew Lorenzo would have been very much irritated by what the chairman did. It would have been an insult to him. In the first place, it wasn't like he wanted the position or needed it for anything. I knew he didn't need it. He was only doing this for me when he would have rather taken his revenge in his own way. I listened quietly, wai

Chapter 33: Priority

~ Vivienne's POV"...he's gone senile."I blinked, looking at him with a questioning gaze. He stared at the ceiling as he spoke. It was as though he was dealing with something he would prefer not to. "...I do not understand. Are you insulting him right now?"He lowered his gaze, peering into my eyes. "No, I'm talking in the literal sense. He has dementia. Isn't that the same thing?"I paused, my gaze lingering on him as I tried to digest what he said. The Chairman—Marco's grandfather and Lorenzo's father—was having dementia. 'Is he that old?' I wondered, studying him."It doesn't make any sense. He's not that old..." I voiced my opinion. Lorenzo shook his head. "It does actually. The old man has stubbornly been in charge of the Blackwell group for decades. He has overused that brain of his and it's starting to show the effects of long term abuse." He paused, cracking his knuckles. "I'm very certain that's why he's putting down the reins of leadership he has been tightly holdin

Chapter 34: Cunning Experience

~ Vivienne's POV I couldn't understand why his expression suddenly changed. 'What did he see on his phone? Does it have anything to do with me?' I wondered. Lorenzo took another glance at me and walked opened the door, walking out with bold steps. My office phone rang almost immediately, I picked it up."Miss Vivienne, you have visitors.""Thank you, Hannah. Please send them in." I returned the phone back to it's positive and sighed, sinking into my seat. Hannah was the one who was voluntarily playing the role of a secretary for me. She had insisted on doing it despite my attempts to prevent it from happening. I mentally noted it down to request for an appropriate secretary who could assist me at the office. I already had Hannah and Vincent to assist me in the lab. I had started working at the Academic Medical Center as a research scientist and a doctor. I had only been doing the work of a scientist and since I hadn't had any clients. I hadn't been able to perform the role of a

Chapter 35: First Patient

~ Vivienne's POVI regarded the man with exasperation and curiosity at the same time. This was the person Lorenzo referred to as the close friend, confidant, and also butler to his father, Richard Blackwell. Naturally, I was also familiar with him. I calmed my rising impatience and answered him. "What is your request?"He took a pause, throwing a glance at Richard who seemed to be unaware of what his butler was thinking before he lightly sighed and made his intentions known. "I would like you to keep this meeting and your services to Mr Blackwell a private matter to not be disclosed to anyone. Except for those already involved and aware of his condition."I blinked. That was it?"Is that all?""Yes."I waved my hand dismissively. "You don't have to worry about something like that. I'm already aware of the situation."I was prepared to take the opportunity in good faith anyway. It was a chance to prove my worth, my expertise that I had developed over the years. Moreover, my patient

Chapter 36: Violence And Passion

~ Vivienne's POVIn all my life, I never considered the possibility that I would ever be in such a situation. Was it because I wasn't of any value to anyone? No, that wasn't it. I simply judged that it was never going to happen. But here I was, being manhandled and hurled through the air while being unable to make any sound or noise. The men carrying me were strong and didn't care much about how tightly they held me. My body screamed from the painful and strong grip of their hands. Why was I in such a situation? I just wanted to go home and rest. Who did I offend so badly that the only solution was to kidnap me?Before I knew it, I was thrown into a vehicle and made to sit on an uncomfortable seat. My mouth got freed in the process. I groaned from the pain and then finally had the chance to observe my surroundings and see the people who had just seized me from in front of my car. They were wearing hoodies and had nose masks on. Before I could say a word, I heard one of the men spe

Chapter 37: Enemies

~ Vivienne's POV I took a moment to compose myself. Lorenzo smacked his lips together and licked his lips subtly with a tinge of regret written on his face. I could see reluctance in his eyes to let go and the slight annoyance caused by the approaching men. My face was already red hot from the high stimulation kiss we had just shared. I was biting my lips and struggling to cool my body down. 'What did I just do in public? And at a time like this?'The whole intensity of the situation had caused our adrenaline levels to rise and had resulted in both of our emotions spiking out of control such that we did such an irrational thing. Yes, I could now think about my emotions and medically explain it after the deed had been done.'He tasted good though...' I savoured his taste in my mouth, swallowing every flavour of him in an unnoticeable way. Lorenzo threw a scowl at the guards and turned to face me. "Where are you hurt?" He asked, ignoring the guards. "I'm sorry for being late.""It'

Chapter 38: Second Drive

~ Lorenzo's POV 'She really is different... Special.' Those words repeated once again in my head the more I looked at her and spoke with her. At this point, I was sure she also had feelings for me just as bad as I did for her. There was no point hiding it anymore. She was still shy but she didn't refrain from speaking her mind and questioning me. It was refreshing to have someone talking to me in that manner. She wasn't scared of me in the slightest even after knowing who I was and what I was capable of doing. 'Those Cora bastards!' I seethed. They were just a group of useless people who were trying to oppose me. I didn't know who was behind them and they were very elusive people. Some weeks ago, I had given Eric the order to monitor their activities and track them down in case they tried to do something stupid. But I also didn't have the energy to waste on them since they couldn't do much to affect me anyway. But now, they had discovered my connection somehow. This was why t

Chapter 39: Hidden Truth

~ Vivienne's POV 'That's cute... why is he trying to hide it?' I mused. My relationship with Lorenzo had started in a strange way. And it was still a strange one up until now. I already had my suspicions about him, but I realise how much depth the person called Lorenzo had. Five years ago when I had flown out of the country with a vengeance, I had gone to further my education and career that I had put on hold ever since I left Marco. Thinking about that still made me angry. Being divorced out of the blues had given me a sense of clear purpose and direction that I had abandoned once before. It wasn't long that I began to work on a project. The project was a branch under the neural program called 'the Neuro Genesis Protocol.' It was a research on the regeneration of brain matter, making a brain while again. In all its ramifications, it was by no means a small project. It took a lot out of me to do it. But what it needed most was capital... I needed a huge amount of money to do it

Chapter 40: Something Important

~ Vivienne's POV "We're here." Lorenzo announced as he put the car in park and glanced at me. "That was fast..." I noted, wondering if he had raced the car more than normal. The distance from my office to my house was not very far away but I still expected the drive to take longer than it actually did. The conversation and emotions and thoughts in my head made it seem as though time had flown past with no warning. Now, it was time for me to climb out of the car and go to my penthouse to rest. My hand was on the door handle, but I somehow couldn't find the strength to open it. My body didn't want me to move or leave. There was a tingling sensation on the skin of my neck and the side of my face. I knew he was staring at me. I dreaded so much as glancing back at him because I knew his gaze could pull me in like an inescapable net. I still didn't move. Perhaps I was waiting for him to say something... do something. Maybe I even wanted him to insist on following me to my penthouse do
