LOVELY KARMA

CHAPTER 2: TRUE FEELINGS

VIVIAN'S POV

For starters. My name is Vivian Hamilton, the daughter of the..(Hamilton). My father owns the HAMILTON'S estate. And yeah we're that rich. I grew up in this estate. the HAMILTON'S Tower has been passed down from my great grandfather to my father and soon my brother Zack would inherit it when he dies. speaking of Zack my dumb older brother.who looks a lot like me. infact he's an older male version of me which is sickening.

Anyways..... yesterday I just turned seventeen, being the woman my mother wants me to be. My mom is an overbearing lady and kinda domineering. since I was a kid till now. I've never found any reason to question my mother, cuz I was told that she knows what's best for me, and my opinion doesn't matter. of course I respected that cuz she's my mother and I wouldn't want to disobey her or suffer the consequences, or so she said.

My father at the other hand is a noble and respected man. He's kind and just, I sometimes look up to him. he's the only one that care's about the real me, what I want and how I feel. with him I don't have to pretend like I'm someone else. he treats me like his queen and every opinion I contributed were counted. But they were times he'll have to take decisions for my mom's sake. of course my mom has every influence on him than anyone else. Anyways that's my family and I'll have to live with it.

I heard a knock at the door, which jolted me back to reality. I was in my room just staring at the ceiling while lying down. "come in"I said glancing at the door. a maid came in to view, she was wearing her uniform of check black and white.."young Miss.... your mother wants u in her room she needs to talk to you" "about what? can't I atleast have peace for once?"I murmured before dismissing her.

I packed my hair in brief ponytail and left my room. I was walking down the corridor when something caught my eyes, perhaps someone. I diverted my feet to the pool where I saw him (Lucas). well for me growing up with Lucas wasn't easy. I've longed for Lucas since I entered puberty. I always think of him all the time, but the fact that he's always pushing me away all the time hurts me. My mom said he wasn't good for me and also my father warned me about him. he couldn't be that bad, could he?.

"Hi Lucas"I said waving at him. he turned,looked at me and went back to what he was doing like I didn't exist."hey I'm talking to you and u can't just give me attitude... have you forgotten that you're one of my staffs?" "no.. I haven't forgotten"he said sharply. I was kinda enjoying this. "you don't talk to your mistress that way"I said and then he rolled his eyes and turned to me. "really? look... I don't need your mother's nagging and yelling, please just walk away" "fine... but why can't we be friends, atleast that's safer" "no it's not"he turned to me fully now and said "your parents doesn't want to see you with someone like me and besides I've been your father's right hand servant for years, he trusts me and I can't just risk those trusts cuz I was seen with you, okay?" "so that's the true reason you've been pushing me away, you're doing this cuz of my father and your job... which means you also wants me"I said pointing a finger at him."that's not true"he said turning away with a smirk on his face and then I realized that it was true. I pushed him down and straddled him and then I saw the cutest smile on his face. "it's true isn't it, you've been pretending all this while and I was here dying for you" "Even if I happen to have feelings for you, it's not possible for us to be together, your father might kill me if he finds out and my mother would end up being punished"he said while getting me off of him. "come on, don't be a chicken,we could be seeing each other and hanging out together but no one would know about it. it could be in my basement or a place in the Tower where no one knows about" "Look... I don't wanna risk my job or my life or even my mother's life cuz of my selfishness but... I'll give it a try" he said and I beamed at him. "really?" "no!! I'll just think about it" he said and left. Atleast I was relieved that I finally knows that he felt same way.

"VIVIAN?"I hurriedly turned back to see my mom's angry figure standing akimbo gazing at me. "what have I told you about seeing that boy?" "Mom..it wasn't want you think, I was just... just... just...umm ordering him around"I quickly said. "didn't Alicia told you that I was calling you?" she asked. "Yes... yeah she did" "and then you prefer to give all your attention to that riffraff right?" my mom was now furious. "Mom!!!, there's more to him than that" "ohh really?!!" "Yes... I know that he's one of my subjects but he's also a human... you've never cared how I felt or the effects your impacts has in my life. come on mom.. I'm matured enough to make my own decisions, and I'm also matured enough to know what I want. I don't need you,dad or anyone else living my life for me. I'm done being a child I'm a grown up now" I said, I really can't believe that all that came out of me. it was actually the first time talking back and raising my voice at my mom.

she started clapping her hands. "wow, little Miss Vivian isn't a child anymore. Bravo" "I'm serious mum." "I would make myself clear. you are not to see that boy again and you are not talk back at me... God Vivian.. I'm your mother and I know what's best for my daughter" she said palming my face. "then why do I feel this way" "that's how it's been since you were a child nothing's going to change, okay? now go to your room and freshen up for dinner" I went to my room and slammed the door loudly. why do I have to be permitted before I make any move in my life... I mean it's my life not hers. I didn't wanna go downstairs for dinner. I slept off immediately.
