LOVELY KARMA

CHAPTER 12: FATE

VIVIAN'S POV

it's been seven years since the incident between Lucas and I. I've been miserable, and I probably felt bad cuz it was all my fault I shouldn't have forced him to do what he didn't want to.

I wonder how he'll be doing right now, there's a probability that he wouldn't be alive, but I know Lucas, he's very strong and willed minded, he'll get through all this, I know he Will.

Well.... it hasn't been that easy for me and my family, My father died last year, he had a heart attack because of the shock of Zack sabotaging my father's property. It happened that my father was getting too old for the stress in his business, he needed someone to take over and manage his business for him. I knew that he wanted to let Lucas handle his business, cuz he had a great interest and trust in him. Lucas has ideas for business, how to grow and manage it. But since Lucas was thrown out,he had no choice but to hand it over to Zack. Two months after it was handed over to Zack,the business started collapsing gradually, that was when we found out that Zack was drenched and obsessed with gambling. He gambled all my father's fortunes away, and also used the company's name to borrow a loan of $50,000,000. When the news got to my father,my father although was a strong man,he couldn't withhold the strength of the shock, he collapsed and died instantly, the doctor diagnosed him with heart attack. that was how daddy left us to pay off Zack's debt alone, besides, after the incident Zack ran away with the the loan he borrowed, and up until now, we've never seen or heard from him again, I think he barely knows that he killed daddy, he's such a heartless ass, I hate him and if I ever set my eyes on him, I'll hand him over straight to the police.

We had to sell The Hamiltons Tower, cuz it was used as a collateral for the loan that Zack borrowed, at least we already passed half of the loan borrowed, but there was no money on us anymore. My Mom and I had to move to a more affordable house,it wasn't the best but atleast we have a roof over our heads. Mom sold all her expensive jewels, even all the most valuables in our home, that was where we got the money to pay for our new apartment.

After my father's burial, I had a job as a waitress at a nearby restaurant, The pay was little but at least we could manage ourselves. Mom kept on complaining on how miserable her life has been, but everything was partly her fault,if she hadn't helped to throw Lucas out of the house it wouldn't be this way, and if she had taught Zack moral lessons or against gambling, he would have known how to manage the company. I felt very bad for my life now, I had to work out my ass out to pay all our bills, Mom didn't want to work cuz she doesn't know how to. she's already used to being in charge and being cared for. I had to pick up the responsibility to make ends meet. I don't know how long we'll keep living like this. But I hope it all comes to an end.
