THE HEIR'S VENDETTA

CHAPTER 005

Before she spoke, she let out a scornful laugh, and then straightened herself up,

“You're the one without any shame Alphonse! You don't have any money to your name and yet you dare to raise your hands to someone who can afford your entire generation, someone who isn't in your class or league!”

She huffed and then continued, this time with narrowed eyes and clenched fists,

“Who do you think you are to question me and interrupt us?!” she glanced behind her smirking lover and pointed between themselves,

Although Alphonse was taken aback, causing him to flinch back, he raised himself to his full height,

“I’m y-your husband”

He tried to sound confident although his voice was cracking, Vivian on the other hand sent her head back and laughed to her heart’s content, 

“You're not only delusional but hilarious, you think someone like me will be saddled with your kind?! One who has nothing, and I'll leave a man who can afford to get me all the niceties of life, take care of my needs, and buy me luxury to be stuck with you?!”

She laughed once more and went on while smirking,

“You were only a means to an end, and now your own end in my life has come!”

While they had been having the exchange between them, Alphonse had been unaware of the gathering crowd who didn't waste any moment in recording, Vivian had noticed them and had chosen to play the crowd to her advantage, 

She walked closer to Alphonse and looked him straight in the eyes, 

“I feed and clothe you, and that should make you realize that you have no right over my life or my actions! You already know the reason why I married your broke ass! Don't provoke me!”

“B-but…”

Alphonse stuttered in reply, but was met with a harsh slap from his wife, who had done so for the pleasure of the crowd and her lover,

“Don’t you dare speak when not spoken to!’

Vivian seethed and the crowd oohed and ahhed, taking all of it in. Alphonse closed his eyes tightly, trying to rid himself of the torrential memories, of when Vivian had approached a poor guy like him for marriage after they had gone out a few times, and she had helped with his mother’s bills, he had thought she was marrying him out of love and that their marriage was for the long haul, but apparently, he thought wrong.  

Alphonse with his drooped head, finally noticed the crowd, and his cheeks redenned, tears gathered in his eyes, but he refused to let them drop.

She wasn't done making a mockery out of him, as she glanced around and noticed the security who had been approaching, she beckoned on them and smiled sweetly at them, her face belied the venom in her heart,

“Gentlemen, please I'd like for toy to throw out this worthless piece of trash, I do not know how he found his way in”

Alphonse faltered back, while his eyes popped, his jaw nearly reaching the ground,

“Uhn, umm” he stammered out, with his head lifted, his eyes darted all around, 

“Viv… I-I'm your h-husband!”

He exclaimed with a shrill voice, while Vivian raised her brows and sneered,

“ Don't you dare disgrace me and associate me with your worthless self!” Vivian spoke up in an angry tone while still glaring at him.

“What a pity!”

“Such a waste of a fine young man, for what is the use of being fine if you have no money to accompany it?!” 

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, asking no one in particular, as they all glared at Alphonse’s way, some looked at him in pity, while others sneered and shook their heads in disgust.

One thing Alphonse found himself grateful for was that despite the embarrassment and humiliation, his in-laws weren't available to add insults to injury or stoke the fire the more.

He managed to lift his head and was met with the face of the security drilling holes into his head and he shuddered,

Vivian smiled smugly and faced him,

“It would be good for you to not show your face in the house this might you scoundrel!”

Alphonse gulped and said nothing.

The security men wasted no time as they harshly hijacked him by his underarms, Alphonse’s legs dangled in the air and most people snickered, 

“Take him away!”

“He's of no use”

They all began chanting, Alohise finally managed to lift his head, and his eyes met the smug look of Vivian’s companion who winked at him, and Alphonse cursed him under his breath. 

Although he tried pleading with the security men, but his pleas fell on deaf ears as they dragged him all the way outside, and dumped him at the exit like a sack of potatoes. Alphonse tried to no avail to use his hair to cover his face but rather covered his face with his hands as he shuddered, finally letting the pent-up tears in his eyes flow freely down his cheeks, and quivering chin.

In the short time of his life, he had never been this humiliated, he hated the fact that he had no money or anyone to defend him,

“I swear I'll make money, and I'll get back at all of you for today!”

With a frown on his face, he mused and vowed to himself, but he knew that vow was far-fetched except a miracle could take place or maybe he was Cinderella with a fairy godmother, that was the only feasible reason for him to get wealth and enact his revenge, he was truly just a pauper and a nobody.

Alphonse stood to his feet and dusted his bum while he walked away. He had decided to go visit his mother, at least he had one person in life who loved him, even though she was critically ill.

He soon got to the hospital, after trudging for about thirty minutes, his eyes and throat stinging. On his way to his mother’s room, he bumped into the doctor who had a frown etched on his face,

Though he tried to hide, but the doctor had seen him and marched towards him, while eyeing the length of Alphonse’s body, folding his arms across his chest the doctor cleared his throat before he informed him,

“Mr Fischer, if you do not find a way to pay your mother’s outstanding bills, we will have no choice but to discharge her, and that won't be good for her as she will die! We do not run a charity organization here, there are others who need a bed!” 

With narrowed eyes the doctor informed him, not minding the passerby's who were trying to eavesdrop, he went on,

“You have an outstanding bill of over a thousand five hundred dollars, and if at the end of the week, you don't pay a substantial amount, your mother will be discharged out of the hospital!” 

He nodded his head and walked past Alphonse whose face had lost all the colour in it.
