LOVELY KARMA

CHAPTER 10: UNFORTUNATELY CARELESS.

VIVIAN'S POV

After Lucas had left, had chores to do today or so he said. I couldn't believe what I did with him, I mean for the first time I felt like a woman,he took care of me and gave me what I wanted.

Then suddenly the door burst open and my mom came in to view, I looked at her and then at my self and realized that I was stark naked. I hurriedly covered my body with my dress and looked up at her. she was angry and furious, then it dawned on me that she might have known what happened.

"This shouldn't be what I'm thinking Vivian,you wouldn't stoop that low" she said looking at me with disgust, she continued. "I saw that riffraff, coming out of this basement, but before that I noticed that you've been missing from your party like for two hours, only to find out that you were here, rubbing dirt on your father's reputation" "Mom, I can explain, it's not what it seems like" I said getting up from the couch. "What the hell is wrong with you Vivian, I've warned you severally against that lowlife peasant, how could you sleep with your subject?" she said, really disappointed in me. but it's not her life, it's mine. "Mom, what is done has been done and there's nothing you can do about it,all my life,all you've ever wanted is to control my life, I just proved to you that I can take care of my self, I don't need you or anyone doing it for me". "oh right, Then wait till your father hears that his most trusted servant slept with his beloved daughter" she said, with a wicked smirk on her face. "You won't tell dad right?" *

"oh I would. And wait till you'll see how your father would react to this" she said wanting to leave. "Mom, please don't tell father," I said giving her a pleading look. I mean,if my father finds out about this, I wouldn't have to see Lucas anymore.

"I've warned you severally about that boy, he's not your match, he's your subject for Christ's sake. But no, you went ahead and....". "Mom!!!, Why can't I atleast do what I really want? Why would I live up to yours and father's expectations". "cuz we know what's best for you, you're still young, naive and stupid. When I was your age, I've always learned not to say a word in a council meetings, never speak unless spoken to, take permissions for every step I make....And.... I turned out just fine" she concluded and left.

Well.... I know my Mom so well, she'll likely tell my father about it. I shouldn't have urged him to do it, I've gotten him into a bigger mess. And I know my father wouldn't tolerate it anymore, what should I do right now, I'm really confused.

I stayed in the room soliloquizing, I've been in here for hours, I was afraid to go out. I've really let my father down,he must be really disappointed. Immediately, I heard some commotions upstairs, like people chattering or there so. I hurriedly put on my dress , when I was done, I decided not to wear my shoes cuz it has extremely high heeled.

I held the shoes in my left hand and I used the other hand to hold my dress up. I hurriedly ran outside the basement to the event hall, but there was no one there. I started ascending the stairs, when I got to the hallways, I heard the noise coming from my father's meeting chambers. The closer I get to the door, the louder the noise became.

I placed my fingers on the door knob, for some unknown reason,my hands was really vibrating and a little bit sweaty. At first, I was afraid to open the door, I gathered all the courage I had in me and pushed the door open. My mouth unconsciously dropped open,my eyes almost popped out of it's sockets, tears subconsciously coming out like rain drops from my eyes. 'NO'.
