Vivienne Montague, The Renowned Actress's name faded from the entertainment industry a month after her marriage. No one knows she was facing hardship in the hands of her Husband whom she sacrificed her career for because of Love. But that was the biggest mistake of her life as her Husband used that opportunity to maltreat her. When a light shone her way, Vivienne was always saved by a mysterious stranger who appears and disappears anytime he saved her from the cold hands of her husband. who is he? she began on a quest to find him but that didn't go well with her marriage.
" Pick up a Jewelry and meet me at this Hotel"
Vivienne couldn't stopped smiling as she picked up a car key from the dressing table. When she saw the message from him, she was so happy that she stopped what she was doing instantly and got dressed up.
That day was their wedding anniversary and she was looking forward to see Sebastian act romantic to her as he had done back then.
Vivienne kept smiling as she drove through the city busy street. It was already 8pm and the street light were all on.
Couples walked side by sides, holding hands happily. Vivienne smiled. She and Sebastian had done that Several time at night few Months back.
Even though her face was always covered to avoid being seen in the public by her fans, Sebastian never get mad at her.
But few weeks after their marriage, he changed completely. He wasn't the sweet Sebastian that married her. He diverted from a sweet person to a Monster who would devour her anytime he has the Chance.
But that day which was their wedding anniversary, she received a surprise message from him to get a beautiful and expensive jewelry and meet him in an Hotel.
The Hotel was where he first proposed to her to become his wife. It was indeed a wonderful moment.
As usual, she covered her face with a scarf as she made her way inside the jewelry store to get the best jewelry that would suit her well.
Vivienne didn't waste her time checking out the many Gold and diamond Jewelries in the show glass because she already knew what is suitable for her.
She picked out a beautiful red necklace that Looked like a rose but wasn't a rose. She admired it happily before taking it to the counter.
" A million dollars, Ma'am."
Money wasn't her problem, she has tons of that in her account. Even though she wasn't an actress again, she still received royalty from the movies she had appeared in years ago.
The Necklace was packaged for her and she took it then walked away from the counter.
Vivienne's eyes was on her package so, she didn't know someone was walking towards her. She bumped in to him and the card he was holding dropped on the floor.
" I'm so sorry" She lowered herself, picked up the card and handed it over to him, avoiding eye contact.
She hurried away after giving the Card to him. Vivienne entered her car, drove away from there and made her way to the Hotel where her dear Husband await her.
" Room No. 24" The receptionist told her.
Vivienne smiled , She didn't know they would be celebrating their wedding anniversary in the same Hotel and the same room he proposed to her in to.
She took in a deep breath, untied the scarf from her face and started knocking on the door. But Sebastian didn't open the door for her and when she turned the handle of the door, she discovered it wasn't Locked.
With smiles on her face, she stepped inside the room and was greeted with rose petals sprayed on the floor.
" Awn, so romantic" She closed the door, giggling. Vivienne fixed her eyes on the petals on the floor , walking towards the corner where the bed was.
But when she got so close, she heard sounds coming from the bed. She chuckled it off because she knew her husband Wouldn't do that.
She has never seen him with another woman before and she has never heard of anything like that from anyone.
Even though he didn't regard her again, they always had sex almost everyday. And that convinced her that Sebastian doesn't see any woman outside.
" Darling, I'm he..." The Package in her hand fell on the floor together with the veil she was holding.
She didn't want to believe what she was seeing. Her husband in all fours with another woman? And he wasn't even moved by her presence.
Instead, he continued what he was doing. Vivienne stayed glued to a spot, watching the horrible scene with her naked eyes.
She couldn't move a limb, Speak or make a sound. She was shocked beyond recognition.
And what shocked her most was the woman Sebastian was having sex with. When he was satisfied, he pulled away from her and she saw her face.
Sabrina Vanguard, the New rising Actress who was featured in every Movies there was.
" You are here" Sebastian let out a satisfying Laugh. He leaned on the headboard while Sabrina leaned over on his chest.
He gestured to her to bring the package for him but instead, Vivienne held it to her chest.
There was no way she would hand over that to him, Not what she bought with her Money.
" Stop acting like a kid, Vivienne. Bring that package now, it belongs to me not yours" Sabrina smirked.
Vivienne was pained, Pained that her husband chose Sabrina out of all the women in the city.
Wasn't she an actress just like her? Why would he then choose to punish her with Sabrina? Wouldn't he have chosen another woman?
" Vivienne, Bring it over here" Sebastian snapped her back to the reality. Vivienne sniffled. She wiped the tears that had dropped on her face and turned to leave.
She has seen enough, Enough that her heart could take. How could he?
" Stop right there you slut!" She didn't know when Sebastian left the bed and all she could hear next was a grab from her behind.
" You give this to me now or I get rid of you right here" He whispered in to her ear. What use was he whispering to her, wouldn't he shout at her instead?
Sebastian took the package from her and left her standing there. She turned around, watching him put the necklace in her neck.
" Wow! This is so pretty. You were right , Sebastian. Vivienne have an eye for Good things" Sabrina giggled.
Next thing, She placed a kiss on Sebastian's face then glanced at Vivienne with a mischievous grin.
He texted her that message to buy him a necklace to give to that husband snatcher? When she thought he was going to gift it to her?
She wiped her tears, picked up the scarf from the floor and wrapped it on her face.
" She's still hiding her face from the public?" Sabrina scoffed. " She isn't a star again, Why does she keep wasting her time when no one will even look her way..."
The rest of what she was saying could only be heard by Sebastian who was present in the room with her.
If not, Vivienne was long gone. Sobbing silently as she exited the entrance door.
She looked at where the car was parked but felt like burning it in to ashes. The man she cherished a lot even for his rudeness and maltreatment became the person she hated that night.
How could he even think of doing something as awful as that? How dare he?
When Sabrina returned home, Her legs were already sore from walking all the way from the hotel to the house.
She had abandoned the car keys beside the car hoping someone in need would take it away. She promised she was Never going to drive any car from that brand again.
It would only bring back the memory of that day to her.
" You ungrateful bitch!" A slap landed on her face as soon as she removed the scarf from her face.
She didn't need to be told who the slap came from. Vivienne was already used to their maltreatment. From Mother to son and from son to mother.
Wasn't it her Son that broke her heart just an hour ago? And now the mother hurt her face.
Vivienne swallowed hard, she inhaled deeply before diverting her gaze to Sebastian's Mum whom was fuming in rage.
" Mother in-law" she greeted, forcing a smile. " Don't you dare smile at me, you bitch!" She shouted at her.
Vivienne sighed inside. A bitch? A bastard? That wasn't the first time she would be hearing those words from them.
They weren't even the first people to call her that name. Even her family didn't spare her, they called her all sort of names.
" Where's My Bracelet you stole this morning? Do not lie to me , My girl saw you taking it" She snarled at her.
Vivienne managed to walk away from the woman after defending her self from her accusation.
Sebastian's Mum always found a way to accuse her of stealing one thing or the other from her room.
Whenever she saw her with even a pin, she would say Vivienne took it from her room.
Maybe because the woman was already getting old? Vivienne never blamed her for anything she did to her.
An hour later, Sebastian returned home when she was standing at the dining table setting the table.
He acted like nothing has happened out there. When he saw Vivienne at the dining area, He went to her, wrapped his arms around her and pecked her cheek.
" I thought you won't return home" He whispered in to her ear. " What are you still doing here? I've found the perfect bitch for me and I don't want the bitch right here"
He pulled away from her then went to his Mum who was sitting on the sofa.
Don't want the bitch right here? Vivienne sighed inside. She left what she was doing and exited in to the room.
Should she go for a divorce? But what if she does that and the whole world laugh at her? What if her family doesn't welcome her in to the house again?
With those thoughts running in her mind, Vivienne fell asleep.
