VICTORIA FOX-
I hate Benjamin and Katrine.
We had to cut short our already short honeymoon and come home because Benjamin was spotted having a chat with Joseph. He has probably not done anything yet as when Aaron called Joseph to ask him about general things, grandpa didn't mention Benjamin at all.
But yeah, he is trying to scare us by being around Joseph and he was successful. I wish this would all just get over, I mean Aaron and I finally got together, we need to focus on ourselves. I don't understand why we can't take any action against them before they do something that might make a huge impact.
On the bright side, we also had to come back because Elizabeth was pregnant, Mary was so happy with the news that she hosted a grand celebration for their first ever great-grandchild. Even though I already knew she was pregnant, the conformation sent me over the moon. I can't believe my best friend is pregnant! I am going to be an aunt.
I was bored as I worked today, I didn't feel like doing anything, I mean I was supposed to be on a vacation, having mind numbing sex with my husband but no, I am greeting costumers and cooking food. But I would be lying if I say Aaron didn't make the best of the situation, for the limited time we were there in Greece, we didn't step out of the hotel room. He didn't even let me rest on our way back in the flight. I couldn't look at my airhostess in her eyes as she for sure heard me scream and moan.
Aaron had a thing for showing off, he needed people to see the things he does to me, like the hickeys, our messed up hotel room and my screams. He had this need to make sure people knew that I belong to him. It's embarrassing for me, I mean I would be lying if I say I didn't like it but he has a proud smirk on his face whenever we walk out of somewhere after 'doing the deed' there.
But luckily today wasn't entirely bad, Elizabeth was sitting in front of me as we discussed baby names, it was exciting because we've been discussing baby names since middle school. But sadly we don't like the baby names we used to like before. It surprising how our tastes change over time, mostly because you meet some stupid people who ruin names for you. Like Katrine is a good name, but she ruined it with her awful personality.
"How about Isabella?" Elizabeth asked and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, "Beth, you know for the past hour we are only going through girl names, right? There is a possibility you might have a boy." I say and she sighs.
"I know but Nathan wants a girl, his family is filled with boys so I feel like it's going to be a boy. I don't actually have a gender preference but Nathan does. I mean I am sure he'll be happy irrespective of the gender but I guess he is more inclined towards having a girl." I nod as I agree with Elizabeth, Aaron also wanted a baby girl, as he says girls never leave their fathers but boys always are more attached to their mothers.
"Whatever you do, don't ask Aaron for any advice on baby names. He'll start suggesting 'royal baby names'" I roll my eyes as I think of Aaron, who started suggesting names like 'Diana', 'Charlotte' and 'Harry'. Elizabeth laughs at my comment as she digs into her chocolate cake.
"So what about your 'baby', do you think you'll get pregnant?" She asked and I shifted uncomfortably, I didn't feel like talking about it, because when I talk about it everything becomes very real all of a sudden but I can't hide things from Elizabeth.
"I missed my periods this month, but I am not exactly sure, so I am going to wait a few more days before actually taking a pregnancy test, also I feel like you should enjoy your moment alone, I don't want you to share your celebration with me." I say and Elizabeth eyes well up with tears.
Yes, she is very hormonal.
"That's so sweet of you, I hate sharing my attention but I honestly wouldn't mind doing it with you." She says as she looks at me with a big smile on her face before she stuffs her mouth with more cake.
"Yes I know but-" I was interrupted by a figure standing at the entrance of my restaurant. I felt a ball in my stomach as I knew exactly who he was. I hope Katrine is not there with him.
"Hi Victoria, you look good, Elizabeth, I feel like you always hated me so saying Hi probably isn't a good idea." Benjamin said as he spoke to me and then Elizabeth.
"Yes, I do hate you." Elizabeth says without hesitation as she doesn't spare him another look.
"You know what Elizabeth, I liked Michael, you guys shouldn't have broken up. I mean you guys were just like Victoria and I before she left me." Benjamin said as I feel creeps on my skin at the memories of us together.
How blind was I?
"True, there were a lot of similarities. Victoria and I are both brunettes, former students of the same school who dated insecure lying asswipes before finding decent hot men." She says and Benjamin's face goes red as Elizabeth blatantly states facts.
"I am here to talk to Victoria, if you'll excuse Me." He says to Elizabeth who glares at him in annoyance.
"I am sorry that my brutal honesty is inconveniencing your ego." She apologizes dramatically making Benjamin nose flare, "Stop insulting me!" He whines like a baby to which she laughs.
"I am not insulting you, I am describing you."
Elizabeth has seriously become a completely new person.
"So Vicky baby, you left me! You were supposed to be engaged to me and the next day I know, you were gone. How would you feel if I did that to you?" He asked me and I laughed at his statement when I realized the fact that he didn't know.
"Oh you don't know yet, do you?" I asked as he looked at me with confusion, "I heard you talking to Aaron when you came to our house and he had security carry you out. So you coming here and acting as if I hurt you is not going to work alright." I say and his eyes widen when he realizes what I was talking about.
"That was just to get on his nerves Vicky, I thought you would listen to me, not Aaron, who left you as soon as you married him. We had such a strong relationship, I thought you would believe me." He says in a tone which almost makes me feel bad for him, but then I realize how manipulative he actually was.
"Well I believed in evolution too before I met you. Also, how's your grandma? Still in the ICU, I don't blame her, I guess she saw how her grandson turned out to be." I state as pick up my phone and text Jake, before looking up to see Ben's mouth hanging.
"Vicky, you are going to regret talking to me like this, I thought I'd come here and try to explain this to you sweetly, so we can just get back together without any drama." I visibly felt like puking at the thought making Elizabeth laugh at my expression but that only seemed to anger Benjamin more.
"I've had enough of this, okay! Katrine has a lot of connections, and through which I have gotten to be a part of Joseph Lachlan's upcoming project. Imagine what would he feel when all the news channels have the headline of your fake marriage." He states as he laughs like the stupid person he is. I was actually worried, Joseph had built an empire and reputation. It would hurt him a lot if such controversies come up.
"Get out now or I'll throw you out." I warn him as his presence makes me want to murder him. I finally understand what Aaron felt all this time.
"Oh Vicky, I am not done yet!" I flinch as he continues speaking, "That is just the starter pack, I have something that would emotionally destroy you. But I'll talk about that at Elizabeth's pregnancy party. Yes, Joseph invited me." He tells me and I feel like I have a time bomb inside me which is going to blast at any moment.
He is really testing me now!
"If you don't fuck off now, I am going to squeeze those peanuts that you try to pass off as testicles so hard that your eyes would pop out, then I will shove them down your throat." I warn him as I feel anger surge in me and I see him gulp at my statement.
I wasn't lying, I would beat him up, and I knew I could take him. I am a taekwondo black belt champion, and he literally can't fight to save his life.
"Vicky, you are going to regret talking to me like that. When I finally teach you a lesson, I'd like to see how you would feel then." He says as he shakes his head in anger not liking my tone.
"I think I feel like I wasn't born with enough middle fingers to tell you how I really feel about you. Now get out!" I order him when I see Jake standing right behind Benjamin.
"You can't throw me out of your restaurant. It's illegal." He tells me but I just snort at him, "No its not, it's my restaurant and I reserve the right to tell people to fuck off whenever I want."
"So you are going to throw me out, good luck with that." He laughs arrogantly at me when I glare at him for underestimating me.
"I would personally throw you out but I don't like to touch trash, so I think Jake would help me." I say as I give him a sickly sweet smile and I see his face goes white when he feels Jake's large hand on his shoulder.
He turns around and looks up to see Jake standing in front of him.
"I'll go out on my own." He says as he tries to escape but Jake blocks his way, "Sorry man, Aaron specifically instructed me to ruff you up a little if I ever get a chance to." Jake states and I laugh a little as that does sound like something Aaron would say. I feel like sometimes he gets dreams about beating Benjamin up.
I hear Benjamin yell as Jake picks him up by his collar and drags him out before intentionally hitting his body against the wall.
Ouch. That's gotta hurt!
"By the way, Katrine is on the way to talk to Aaron and she is definitely sure she can seduce him. You are so-" He wasn't able to complete his sentence as Jake drops him to the ground with a hard thud making him screech in pain.
"You want me to take you to Aaron's office." Jake asks, almost reading my mind as I instantly nod my head.
I trusted Aaron but I felt like Katrine is too crazy, she might end up doing something crazy.
