Chapter 56

“I… I’m fine.” she forced a smile while glancing at Sterling who was staring at them surprisingly.

Was it that Fowler didn’t see him standing there or he was doing that to hurt him?

Wasn’t the fight they had last time enough for him to stay away from his woman?

He remembered warning him not to ever step his foot where Vivienne was again or else, he would deal with him.

“Oh Vivienne, you must be in shock right now.” He hugged her.

Sterling furrowed his brows in to a frown at Vivienne who was looking at him while Fowler hugged her.

Unable to take it anymore, he stepped forward and grabbed Vivienne away from Fowler.

That was when Fowler discovered Vivienne was with Sterling.

He thought she was the only one there because she was the only one his eyes were on as soon as he came out from the car.

They locked eyes, looking at each other like long lost enemies.

Vivienne felt they might end up fighting there again like they did back at the camp. So, she stepped in their middle.

“You guys shouldn’t disgrace yourself right here I’m telling you. The journalists are still present here.” she reminded them.

“You should say that to Fowler because I don’t remember inviting him here.” Sterling said looking at Fowler.

“No, she should say that to you because you think you are more powerful than me.” he sneered.

Vivienne exhaled. If they decided to engage in another fight again, then she must be the one to take care of it.

“You guys, I’ll lose my fans if another scandal of two guys fighting over me after divorce get on the news again.” she sighed deeply.

97.

“If you guys really want to fight, please let’s go home so you’ll do it there.” She pleaded.

But they didn’t listen to her. Fowler brushed her aside and went in front of Sterling.

“I’m telling you to stop, please.” Vivienne lowered her voice as some of the journalists were already coming out from the hall.

“Oh great,” she sighed inside.

Since none of them listened to her, she stood aside with her hands folded, looking at them.

To her surprise, they didn’t fight. But Fowler and Sterling hugged like friends who had seen each other for years now.

Vivienne’s jaw dropped and so was Assistant Mike who was standing there.

When did Sterling and Fowler made up? Was the only thing running in her mind.

“It’s been a long time, dude. How have you been?” they shook hands again after hugging.

“Great, Fowler. Hope you’ve been good too?” Sterling patted his biceps.

“Are you guys serious right now?” she gasped.

Sterling and Fowler looked at her at the same time and laughed shortly.

“Vivienne, you still have a lot to learn.” Sterling shook his head.

“You know, Sterling is right. And I have to teach you something too.” he went to where she was standing.

“In front of your boyfriend or behind him, do not hug another man.” he said to her.

Vivienne scoffed. Wasn’t he the one that hugged her? She didn’t even know he was going to hug her.

“Stop blaming me for what you did. I wouldn’t have left you do it if I knew that was what you wanted to do.” she rolled her eyes.

Fowler chuckled and so did Sterling.

“But girl, you have no shame. How could you…” she interrupted him.

“Leave me alone, Fowler. I had no choice than do that. And it isn’t what you are thinking, I only kissed him.” she stepped away from him.

“You think kissing your ex husband is a joke? My friend here isn’t happy about that.” he pointed at Sterling.

“He was still my husband when we kissed, dude. And your friend here doesn’t mind. After all, I did that because of him.” she folded her arms.

“Oh I see,” Fowler nodded his head.

“Sterling, you’ll have to start caging your girlfriend or else, she’ll end up causing more scandals every day,” Fowler teased.

“If she does, I’ll have her arrested.” Sterling grinned mischievously.

Vivienne sighed. Those two were just unbelievable. But she was happy they were joking around together.

She thought they were never going to talk again not knowing they became friends behind her.

She still has a lot of questions in her mind to ask Sterling about Fowler. How they became friends after exchanging blows weeks ago.

“I have to go now, got a scene to act in few minutes.” Fowler checked his wristwatch.

“Okay then, thanks for coming, dude.” he shook hands with Sterling again.

“And to you, Mrs. Hawthorn. Take care of yourself and do not get involved in another scandal again.” he winked at Vivienne before driving away.

After he was gone, Sterling and Vivienne too entered the car and left.

“Tell me how you and Fowler made up.” she said as soon as the car started moving.

“Fowler came to see me yesterday in my office…” Sterling chuckled softly.

“First, I thought he wanted to warn me to stay away from his woman, you…” Vivienne scoffed.

“But he started apologizing and we became friends.” he send.

“Just like that?” Vivienne was surprised and Sterling shrugged his shoulders.

“Awn you are such a nice person, honey. Thank you for being nice to all of us.” She hugged him.

Pank!

Sebastian smashed his phone on the wall. He had just seen the news where Vivienne was explaining to the world why she did what she did with Sebastian.

That wasn’t how he wanted things to be. Sebastian spent a lot of money in getting that camera footage from the hotel that day.

He thought he was going to be successful in ruining Vivienne’s career after that video came out.

But no, she always got her ways in getting out of troubles.

Then that means Vivienne got away with what she did to him? He couldn’t believe how stupid he was to have let Vivienne controlled his mind.

How stupid he was to have even gone to that hotel from the first place to even sign the papers she gave to him.

He picked up the other paper she left for him and tore it in to pieces.

Vivienne divorced him, what a shame. She was now out of his life and disturbing her would only make things worse for his company.

His name and face already showed on the news as Vivienne’s ex husband who was maltreating her in their marriage.

How was he going to get her back and make her pay for what she did to him? Sebastian was hopeless. There was no way that would work again. So, it was better he leave her alone or else his business go down.

“You were so stupid, Sebastian. I didn’t know something was wrong with you until that video showcased. What were you thinking!” Sabrina threw her bag on the desk.

“Watch your mouth, young lady!” he gnarled at her.

“Don’t you dare yell at me, you fool. Say that to your ex wife, you bastard. Didn’t you promised me you were going to bring her down? Now tell me, who is now down? Who!” she shouted at him.

Sebastian was quite. He knew everything was his fault but that didn’t give Sabrina the audacity to talk to him anyhow.

“I shouldn’t have left you when you told me you would handle it. I should have stayed and do it my own way…” He interrupted her.

“Then go and do it your own way now that you have the chance. Stop disturbing me, you devil. I am not your puppet. Go do it yourself!”

Sabrina bit her lower lip angrily. She picked up her bag from his desk and nodded her head.

“Now I know how weak you are. Well, congratulations the whole world now knows who the monster that married their star is. You have added more fame to her and you’ve gotten yourself a nickname… Monster!”

she laughed at him and left the office.

Sebastian lifted the desk in front of him and turned it upside down. He has never felt that stupid before in his life.

98.

A week after the scandal, Vivienne became the top one most searched actress all over the internet.

Her fan base didn’t only grow, but she gained lots and lost of followers in all of her social media handles.

Vivienne became the richest actress after Fowler in the country which made Sterling’s company number one in the entertainment industry.

While Pure Heart Entertainment was grieving for losing Vivienne, Sterling’s company was celebrating for having Vivienne in their company.

The hypocrite shareholders that betrayed Sterling back then regretted so much.

They would have being earning Billions of dollars each day if they hadn’t taken the bribe Sebastian gave them back then.

What a great lose for them. But the shareholders including pure heart entertainment all blamed Sebastian for everything.

To punish Sebastian, they stopped partnering with him and his name was removed from the shareholders of that company.

When the other companies he was partnering with found out he was Vivienne’s ex husband and everything he did to her while she was still married to him, they cancelled their contracts with him.

Their reason was because they wanted to partner with Sterling’s company and he wouldn’t accept them if he discovered Sebastian was in their company.

Despite that, Sterling didn’t sign anyone in to his company again.

For him, the shareholders who were already there were enough for him.

Others that were coming, he knew they only did because of Vivienne who was in the company.

After her first movie that got the whole country talking, Vivienne’s other movies were a hit too.

It was as if the people were always waiting for her movies to come to the screen. The minute the tickets are released, they sold out in seconds.

For the department, Sterling was the one managing the majesty’s department.

He didn’t want what Marcus did to repeat itself again so, he decided to take care of that department by himself until he found someone trustworthy to take the position.

Assistant Mike has brought some files to him earlier on of some actresses and actors who were applying for jobs.

Sterling after speaking on the phone with Vivienne who wasn’t in the office that day, started going through the files.

He really missed her a lot. Ever since she traveled for a week’s vacation with the team, he could only speak to her on the phone or video call.

“Perfect,” Sterling nodded his head after going through all the applicants.

He called in Assistant Mike and handed over the files to him.

“Call them in for interviews.” he said.

“Oh Mr. Hawthorn, they are here already and waiting for you to approve them.” he said.

“Oh, that’s great. Call them in one after the other, I need to interview them by myself.”

Assistant Mike bowed his head and left the office.

Some minutes later, he returned with a guy who was part of the applicants.

Sterling interviewed him, asked him where he majored in and what he could do.

The answers he got from them all were satisfying but they needed to go for an audition too to get selected.

“Is that all?” he asked Assistant Li as he was already getting tired.

“No, Mr. Hawthorn. Just one person remaining.” Assistant Mike bowed his head and left the office again.

“Oh Ms. Vivienne, you are finally back.” Assistant Mike smiled broadly when he went to call in the last person.

“You didn’t tell us you and the team are coming back today. We thought you…”

Assistant Mike stopped talking when the lady didn’t even smile at him as he was talking to her.

“My name’s not Vivienne.” she said.

He was confused. That lady looked exactly like Vivienne. Even the people present there have been staring at her since she stepped in to that place.
