Loving All Of Me (Chinese drama) novel Chapter 1

A loud creak from the door made her stop. She slowly closed her eyes and silently prayed that no one heard it. After a few minutes of surveilling her surrounding, Vivian smiled and continue to open the huge wooden door as she silently cursed on how hard to open their entrance door.

It was past two in the morning when she arrived from her friend's party. Although she remembered being grounded the night before, she just snuck out without thinking of the consequences. Her parents decided to ground her due to her mischief and expending too much. She already maxed out her credit card twice in just a span of one month. But what can she do, she loves buying clothes and perfume and bags and shoes. Basically aesthetics and those pleasing to her eyes.

When she finally opened the door, relief flashed allover her when the whole house was dark. Maybe her parents are already fast asleep. There's nothing to worry about.

''Vivian Desiree Carter,'' A stern voice called.

She was stiffened when she heard her whole name called. Slowly she turned to the direction where it came from and saw her mother sitting on one of the couch. Her mother was already wearing a nightgown but still has all her jewelry dangling on her neck and ears. She noticed that they were pearls.

''You went out,'' her mother said. It wasn't a question nor a confirmation, it was a statement. ''Even if we told you not to. Have you got no respect left for us, Vivian?'' A painful expression crossed her mother's face.

Vivian turned to her mother and tried to console her. ``It's not like that Mom, I just wanted to party.'' She reasoned out. She knows that her Mom listens to her, even with a lame excuse like that.

''You know that we have been very supportive of you, daughter.''

''Yes, I know mommy. That's why I know that you will understand me.''

Her mother sighed and looked at her straight in the eyes. ''And it's time that you be supportive of us in return.'' Her mother told her.

Her forehead knotted and she looked at her mother in confusion. ''What do you mean, Mom?'' She asked full of worry.

Her mother did not answer her right away but after a few minutes, hugged her and started to cry. Vivian was alarmed, she was worried about her Mom that she was ready to call for her sleeping father or sister but her Mom stopped her.

''Vivian,'' Her mother paused and then looked at her, ''We want you to marry Troy Callahan in place of your sister.'' Her mother said without stopping. The sentences jumbled in her head and it took her few minutes to figure out what her mother was trying to say.
