Kate cleared her throat and looked Vivian in the face.
"We had a deal, Vivian, you got your part of the bargain, but I didn't get mine. You only got what you wanted, I didn't get what I wanted and you never talked to me about it, you didn't call to confirm or anything" Kate was hurt, she felt cheated as Vivian abandoned halfway when the plan was not completed yet.
Just then Vivian remembered Kate wants to be in Emma's position and that was the main reason she accepted to be her accomplice. But then she had a lot going on right now.
"Sorry, Kate I was busy"
"You were busy? Kate's voice was rising as are a result of anger, Vivian noticed she was angry and she couldn't care less.
"Vivian listen to yourself, this is not what we agreed on, you betrayed me, we planned everything but you only got yours, I didn't get mine and the worst part is that Emma is still the managing director and she is with Peter now for God's sake" she cried out.
Vivian doesn't understand what Kate was saying again, she only wanted the position. "Peter, who is that? Vivian said
"Peter, the guy we used as a bait to make Kieran think Emma was cheating on him"
"Oh that Peter, sorry it slipped my mind, so what's up with the Peter, and why are you getting worked up because of him?"
"He is still with Emma"
Vivian wasn't really surprised because she and Kieran saw them dancing together at a wedding, party and she loved the way Kieran was tormented by their dancing.
I am not surprised though, I saw them dancing together at a party and they really look good together if truth be told" Vivian admitted.
"He follows her everywhere, he even sends flowers to her at the office," Kate said pained by all the affection Peter was showing Emma.
"Mm-hmm" she murmured
"A...and I think he loves her" Kate felt pain saying those words out
"Really?" Vivian said as she was stunned. "Oh well good for her then," she said and took a sip of her wine.
Kate felt like hitting her In the face for saying what she said.
"What the fuck do you mean by that, good for her?"
Vivian looked at Kate and noticed she was angry.
"Whoa, well at least she got another man, that's a good thing you know"
"Hell no" She yelled
"Why? you don't want her to have another man?"
"I love Peter, I fucking love him and he is with her now because of our stupid plan which wasn't even successful"
Vivian was confused because she didn't know that her accomplice was in love with the guy they used.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
"I...I love him, I do, I..."
"What! You used the man you love to get a position, oh my God!"
"Shut you the fuck up" Kate fired at Vivian who was shocked and irritated.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes, shut the fuck up, we both planned this and I agreed because I thought she and Peter would never be together, but what now? they are together" Vivian stood there looking at Kate as she was yelling.
"Damn it, I was such a fool. I even encouraged her several times to go out on a date with him when she doesn't want to. I only did that for us to be able to get more romantic pictures of them together which will make Kieran, believe they were dating, thankfully, Kieran believed what he saw but now Peter is into her. He follows her around like a lost puppy and I'm sure she must be enjoying all the attention he is giving her" she said with teary eyes.
"Come on don't be too hard on yourself Kate, you never told me you were in love with Peter"
Kate wiped her tears with the back of her palm and sniffed
"I...I didn't know that it was love, I only knew I liked him but after seeing him and Emma together that's was when I realized how much I love him"
"Hell no, this isn't loving Kate"
Kate gasped. "What did you just say?"
"I said it isn't loving, it is just pure jealousy and your obsession for Emma"
"What, are you crazy Vivian, you dare to say, what I felt for someone isn't love but an obsession for Emma?"
Vivian shrugged her shoulders. "Um, that's what I think anyway"
Kate was furious because of Vivian's nonchalantly attitude towards her. She stood up and faced her
"Then what about you huh, aren't obsessed with your ex Kieran, I heard he even left you after your fuckboy told him everything and ruined your plan as well, I bet that must really hurt huh? You are a shameless bi..."
Vivian couldn't hear the insult and she slapped Kate hard on the face.
Kate was startled no doubt about that. "How dare you lay your filthy hand on me? She yelled and as she covered her cheek with her right hand.
"One more word from you and will receive another slap" She threatened.
"You will regret doing this to me bitch, you will, and be thankful for your pregnancy else you will be sorry..."
"Oh really? What you do bitch? get the fuck out of my house before I release my dog on you"
Kate took her bag. "I curse the day I met you bitch" she fired at Vivian.
"Move it, you this piece of shit"
She left Vivian's house regretfully.
"I shouldn't have listened to her in the first place, she used me to get what she wanted and dumped me like a piece of trash when she was done. I ruined my chance of being with Peter because of my greed, this isn't over, it is just getting started".
Vivian still couldn't accept that Kieran won't be with her again. She decided to go to his office and beg him. And see if he will accept her apology, then she will tell Ben to abort the plan.
She went to his office on a Tuesday morning, but she wasn't allowed to enter his office.
"What do you mean he is not available?" she shouted at his secretary Diane.
"I...I'm sorry ma'am, that was what he told me to tell you, he..."
"To hell with what he told you, I'm going in right now, try to stop me if you can." she walked past her and went to his office but the door was locked.
"Open this fucking door right now" she screamed but he ignored her, she continued shouting but he didn't answer her.
"Damn it! How can a pregnant woman be screaming like this" Kieran felt pity for the baby and she scared something bad might happen if she continues screaming like that.
"What do you want from me?" He said as opened the door.
Vivian was grateful he opened his door because she was feeling dizzy already.
He stood by the entrance to prevent her from entering, he only opened the door because of the compassion he felt for the innocent baby.
"I need to talk to you"
"What is it?"
"Come on, let me enter then we can discuss"
"You must be dreaming if you think I will let you in, say whatever you want to say, and get the fuck out of here" Kieran was pissed already.
"Come on Kieran don't be harsh. I...I just want us to sort our differences, we are adults and let's behave like one"
"I have absolutely nothing to sort out with you, think about your condition and get the fuck out of my company," he said and slammed the door.
Vivian was left poleaxed, she blinked her eyes three times to get her shit straight.
"What the fuck Kieran, you dare to slam your door to my face?
How dare you, open this fucking door now Kieran, I am not done yet!" she yelled banging it loudly, she stopped when she got tired, she turned and saw his staffs staring at her.
"What the fuck y'all looking at?"
They quickly left.
"Fuck! I will make him regret this, I wanted to ask for another chance but you refused, that hurts" she dialed Ben's number.
She went to his office to see if he will accept her but she was disappointed he didn't.
"You should have listened to me when I begged, you could have saved yourself from what is about to hit you, but your stubbornness will be your downfall"
"Hello Ben," she said when he picked the call.
"Yo, what's up beautiful?"
"Take Kieran out as planned, we will discuss the time to to take the next target out"
"Got it, Vivian"
"I don't want any mistakes and leave no traces behind, it must be a clean perfect job, understood?"
"Come on Vivian, you should know, I am not naive when it comes to my job, and you know that"
"I do, I just want you to be more careful with this"
"Sure, I got it, chill"
"Good, bye".
She hung up and chuckled
"Kieran, Kieran, Kieran, I can't wait to attend your funeral" Then she left wearing her sunshade as usual.
Peter asked Emma to be his girlfriend, he has been waiting for the right time to ask her, he couldn't wait anymore, so he decided to shoot his shot. He invited her to dinner and she accepted to come
"Emma, I want to tell you something"
"Okay, what?"
I love you, Emma, I do, and I know you are aware of my feelings for you"
"Peter, I don't know what to say"
"Don't say anything, just be my girlfriend"
"What?" she stopped eating and looked at him
"You must be joking right?"
"I'm not, I am serious about this"
You know, I don't love you Peter I..."
"Emma just try, you will learn to love me when you accept me into your life, trust me"
"Peter I..." she stammered
He went to meet her and held her hand softly looking at her face with his eyes filled with love.
"Give me a chance, when you know me fully you will learn to love me eventually"
"No, Peter, you can't learn to love a man, it is a feeling that comes from your heart, not from your head"
"You can if you want to"
"No, you said I should learn to love you right?"
He nodded
"That means, I will have to use my brain and start learning how to love you, calculating everything and that's not how it works, it doesn't work that way"
"Just give me a chance, and see if you do, I promise you, you won't regret it and if you can't love me after trying, I will stop bothering you, but now I need you to let me show you how much I care about you"
She was speechless, she hates being the cause of people's pain, she could see it in his eyes, that he was hurting, she doesn't want to accept him, because she doesn't love him. But then, she knew he won't stop trying until she gave him a chance to prove his love for her as he said.
She took a deep breath because of the decision she was about to make.
"Okay, I will give it a trial, let's see how things turn out to be"
Peter opened his eyes wide open
"Does that means you've... you have accepted me?" He said eagerly.
"Um I guess"
"Yes! He said happily and carried her around in jubilation
"I love you, I love you," He said as he kissed her all over her face
"Peter please stop, you are embarrassing me"
He stopped "Wow, I can't believe you're my girlfriend, I just can't believe it finally happened, this is a dream come true. I will cherish you forever my queen" He kissed her hand
"Okay, please stop, people are staring" she smiled at him and could see that he was truly happy"
"Oh yeah, sorry"
"It's okay," she said.
When they finished their dinner, they talked for a while before he took her home.
He kissed her on her lips and moved her closer to him. Emma broke the kiss a few seconds later.
"Good night Peter"
He smiled at her tenderly.
"Sweet dreams baby" he watched her go
"Yes! I did it" he screamed before he entered his car to leave.
Emma called Debbie when she got inside.
"Babe"
"What's up Emma?"
"I am now Peter's girlfriend"
"Oh my gosh, Really?"
"Mm-hmm"
"I'm so happy for you, I told you to give love a chance again, I am glad it is Peter he Deserves it after all he has done to win you over, the guy is really in love with you.
"I know, but I don't feel the same way. I like him but love me...I don't think I love him"
"Just give him a chance and see things for yourself, okay?"
"Um, okay"
"Alright, then we shall see tomorrow babe"
"Okay, take care"
"I will". She hung up and went to sleep because she doesn't want to think about what happened too much to avoid having pain that night.
