It was in the morning of the following day. Alex was still on the bed sleeping, wrapped himself with blanket and scattered his legs to the left and right. He really slept deeply and enjoyed it that he didn’t even feel his body again; his soul really travelled far and had beautiful romantic dreams.
Alex opened his eye as he heard a sound of knocks at the door; stretched his hands out from the blanket and yawns with smiles on his face.
“I don’t know, this is my lovely slept night ever or it’s because of Vivian that I set my eye on” he said with low voice and bit his lips with romantic smiles on his face. He took his phone beside him, on it and Vivian’s picture showed up on the screen. It was her pictures that he looked at yesterday night still he fell asleep.
“You gave me a lovely night dream and made me to sleep like a baby. I love you Vivian” he said with smiles and kissed the picture.
He heard the knocks again at the door and that was when he now senses that was what woke him up. He dropped the phone, removed the blanket and got down from the bed.
“Who is there?” He asked as he got to the door and opened it; he saw one of the maids standing at the entrance and with a small mug on her hand.
“Good morning Sir, its coffee that I brought for you” the young lady said.
“Morning, okay come in” he said with smiled and shifted to his right hand, created space for the maid to pass. The maid entered into the room, walked to the small table at a corner in the room and put the coffee now.
“Mom said you shouldn’t take long before you will come down for breakfast” the maid said.
“Tell her that I won’t” Alex replied with gentle voice. The maid greeted her again, passed beside him and going out.
Sound of the door opened and the maid left; Alex sat down on the chair at the front of the small table and made himself comfortable. He carried the mug on its handle, drank a little from the coffee, put it down back and he got up. He off the vest that he was wearing on, and went into the bathroom to take his bath. He came out after some minutes, opened the wardrobe and took another vest. He put it on, closed the wardrobe and going out. Sound of the door opened and closed.
As he came out, he started walking along the corridor and going downstairs. He was looking at everywhere and admired the wallpapers on the wall, he just busy staring at the wallpapers and didn’t feel concern about anything else.
Vivian was going to a room at the apartment that Alex was living and wanted to go and take something for Alex’s mother. As she was coming straight while she saw Alex coming from the same direction; she quickly ran back and running to a corner at her left hand side. Alex looked up as he heard a sound of footsteps and saw Vivian ran to corner; he looked round him and followed her.
“Why are you running away from me?” Alex said with loud voice as he got to the corner and standing behind her. Vivian turned back and looking with cool face.
“You have loved my Brother to the extent that what you should do is to ignore me and ran away from me” Alex said with loud voice and showing his angry face.
“What we shared all these while mean nothing to you right, it’s just a word of mouth right? It’s my Brother that you loved right?”
“No! No!! I have never loved your Brother, it’s my father’s wish that I am doing. They are the one that arranged us together because of their own benefits. I don’t love your Brother at all and I am not happy in this marriage” Vivian said with loud voice and with tears on her face.
“You too just disappeared into air, I don’t have anyone to run to or talk to. Nothing I can do and that is why I decided to be doing my father’s wish” Vivian said and crying.
“I am sorry for my suddenly disappearance, I don’t have choice than to do that and it’s about my life. So I have to do that, I am sorry” Alex said and walked closer to her.
“Vivian, I always used to think about you and I love you” he held her two hands.
“I am here now and I am happy that met physically as we have promised each other. Right now, I want you in my life so that it’s could be completed and pick from where we stopped ” Alex started taking his mouth closer to Vivian and wanted to kiss her.
“This can’t work again, it’s can't and I am sorry” Vivian said with loud voice and shifted back a little.
“I still LOVE, I really do but I am married to your Brother---“Vivian was talking when Alex shouted at her.
“Spare me that! Which stupid brother are you talking about? You are my girl and you are the only woman that I love, so I want you and I need you” Alex said with loud voice.
“Look at me, Married or whatever you are saying, I don’t care and what I know is that you are mine” Alex said with loud voice and Vivian knelt down.
“Please! Please!! I don’t want a trouble, don’t show this things on face and don’t let anyone knows. Your Brother will hurt me if he knows about this, and also two of us have married means that we have legally joined together, please” Vivian said with low voice.
“Your love always be in my heart and it will always be but I am married to your brother, and there is nothing i can do” she looked round her and got up.
“If this hasn’t happened now, it’s better but it has been and there is no how I will be with you and also with your brother. We just have to let it goes and move one” Vivian said with low voice.
“Listen to me and listen good, I will do anything to take you back from my brother because YOU BELONG TO ME FOREVER” Alex said with loud voice and Vivian breathes in heavily.
“If you truly love me, please do this for me and try to move on with another woman. Your Brother has threatened to kill me if he knows that something is between us, so please do this for me” Vivian said with low voice.
“If it’s another man, I can try to leave you for him but to leave you for my Brother. It’s can never be POSSIBLE” Alex said in harsh tone, turned back and leaving the place.
**********
One hour later. Vivian was at the pool side, sitting on the chair there and rests her back. She was facing the sky and thinking deeply; she too didn’t know what to do, she was really in-love with Alex and the marriage was beyond her capacity not a marriage that she could just leave like that.
Vivian’s phone started ringing beside her and picked it up, it was her sister that was calling. The girl was the one that was next to her, she was like her friend and the only person that she used to talk to.
“Sister, why is your face like this? You should have known how to stop thinking about that your husband’s behaviours” the girl said from the video call.
“It’s not about this; it’s about what I discussed with you on chart. I don’t know what to do” Vivian said with low voice.
“Alex really wants me back and he doesn’t ready to hear anything. I love him too even as I saw him yesterday, his love started plumbing in my heart like blood” Vivian said and breathes out.
“I am tired and I don’t know what to do again, I always get weak anytime I am around him and it’s use to be like I should kiss him and have something together”
“You have to be careful Sister and remember that you are married to his brother. Alex too should think about this and let you be” her sister said.
“He and his brother don’t like each other, they are enemies even this is what makes him to stand that he must have me back to himself and can’t leave me for his Brother” Vivian said.
“This is so serious and what kind of problem is this?” Her sister said.
“Sister, what are you even think of doing?” Her sister asked.
“I am not happy in this marriage at all, it’s like I am the prison. No love nothing, just like hell fire. I love Alex, I am madly in-love with him and I want to be with him forever” her sister was looking at her and felt so bad for her.
“If I don’t leave this marriage, I can’t have anything to do with Alex because that is cheating and this is beyond my power not what I can decided by myself”
“The two brothers are enemies; Ryan has threatened me with my life if he knows that there is something between me and Alex. While Alex too said that he can never leave me for his Brother and can’t stop loving me”
“I love Alex and don’t want to lose him; see I am in a big LOVE BATTLE right now” she cut the call and dropped the phone beside her with sadness showed all over her.
