Shopping Spree~!

Viktor got a letter today, inviting him to the Stark Industries Charity Event as a stakeholder. He was stunned.

Hey, I just bought Stocks, how did I get a stake?

Needless to say, this guy was only good at being a Doctor. The rest… let's not talk about it…

Turns out, Viktor owned 2% of Stark Industries!

He was completely dumbfounded.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Viktor checked his bank account and his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.

Good lord!

He nearly cried!

My wife doesn't have to walk to her job anymore!

Viktor picked up his wallet and coat, walking out the door as he called Emma on his cellphone.

Emma was teaching a class when her phone started ringing. The kids giggled because that's what kids do and she turned the ringer off, seeing 'Big Bear <3' on the screen. She turned back to her class and continued, but her phone rang again!

She scratched the bridge of her nose and smiled at the class "We'll take a little break." The kids cheered and surrounded Emma like hyenas, asking all sorts of incredible questions.

Emma even heard 'If you were a worm would you still teach us?'

She was speechless, this reminded her to have a chat with the Guidance counselor…

She answered the phone and said gently "Yes?" Viktor said happily "Little lady, your husband is a rich man!" Emma said happily "You finally noticed?"

Viktor froze and asked "You knew?" Emma was startled and said "We went to the bank to make a joint account! I can see it too." Viktor wilted and mumbled "I forgot… Anyway! What size dress are you?"

Emma blurted out "8, why?" Viktor coughed and said "I was just wondering, don't worry about it. Love you! Ah! I was suddenly robbed on the street! See ya!" before hanging up.

Emma's face was pitch black and she sighed, rubbing her forehead. She turned to the kids staring at her with wide eyes, she suddenly felt these kids were a bit annoying…

Viktor immediately went to the dealership and swiped his card like a second-generation young master, buying the most expensive white Ferrari.

He didn't give a single damn what the specs were, the car looked great!

After which, he immediately drove out to East 57th street and looked at the high-end stores. He took in a breath and walked into the stores with the confident look of a rich man!

The lady came up to him and looked at his clothes, her eyes flashed with disgust but she smiled anyway, asking "How can I help you today, sir?" Viktor cleared his throat and said "Bring me your entire line of white dresses in a size 8."

The lady pursed her lips and Viktor added "As well as black out suits. Hurry up." before sitting on the couch and crossing his legs, leaning back with his elbows on the edge of the couch.

The lady was startled and muttered "A rich man!" before scurrying away.

Viktor's eyes flashed with excitement but his face was flat, almost as though he was bored with life.

Around 4 hours later

Viktor returned home with a full Ferrari, black gucci sunglasses, a golden rolex, and a flowery shirt.

Emma stood in front of the door with her arms crossed, staring at him while tapping her foot on the ground.

Maybe the sunglasses were just that good, but Viktor didn't notice Emma's murderous look and sashayed towards the house, holding around a dozen bags of clothes and expensive things.

He swung his arms arrogantly and snorted with an expression of 'Why aren't you kneeling yet, mortal?'

He came to the door and passed Emma with a sashay.

She almost exploded on the spot!

She grabbed Viktor's ear and shouted in rage "IDIOT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Viktor was startled and the neighbors came out to see a good show.

Emma was fuming as she shouted angrily "Who do you think you are!? Spending money like water! Do you think you're the king of the world!?" she was so angry, she almost turned into her diamond form!

Viktor was stunned and said "But! I! You! We! I got you so many things!" Emma softened slightly but was still hopping mad as she yelled "We can't afford all this junk! Why did you buy 15 Rolexes, 5 pairs of Sunglasses…" her lips twitched and she roared "AND 20 FLORAL SHIRTS!?"

Viktor started to sweat and he stammered "Well, you know, I-" he swallowed and said weakly "They were on sale…" Emma almost died of rage.

"Oh. They were on sale, that makes sense. What was the sale?" Viktor looked at her blank expression as she said that and he swallowed "Buy 19 get 1 free…" Emma started smiling and closed her eyes as she said "And the Ferrari?"

Viktor patted his chest confidently, saying "This is for you. You won't have to walk to work anymore! Heh. It's th-" Emma cut him off, saying "The first thing you bought, yes I know." she took a deep breath and patted her chest, saying softly "Viktor."

Viktor trembled and he suddenly got extremely nervous. He didn't even know where to put his hands!

Emma said softly "You're going to return all these things. Immediately." Viktor was stunned and said anxiously "What?! What about the Rollie!?" Emma roared "What about my MONEY!?"

Viktor swallowed and said softly "Sorry." Emma calmed down and said "It's okay… Just think next time. It's okay to buy things but you don't need so many things…" She looked at a bag and picked up the dress inside, smiling slightly "Except this one…" then she picked out some heels, then a black suit and shoes, saying "The rest, take it back."

Viktor looked at the Rolex on his wrist and Emma coughed, Viktor vaguely heard "Looks like the couch will have company tonight…" he immediately jumped into the Ferrari and sped off.

When he came back, he looked like a defeated general.

He was driving a white Acura ILX and the Rollie was gone with the wind.

Fortunately, he returned everything quickly, who knew those stores had a within the day return policy…

He walked up to his house and opened the door sadly, closed the door sadly, and plopped on the couch sadly.

Emma walked by to see him face down on the couch like a plank of wood.

She rubbed her forehead and giggled, walking over and poking him. Viktor groaned and Emma whispered in his ear. He shot up and said "Is that true!?" Emma rolled her eyes and nodded.

Viktor sat on the couch and slapped his thigh, saying "Great! By the way, Charity event for Stakeholders in Stark Industries Tomorrow night. I was invited specifically!" Emma looked at him helplessly "Is that why you went crazy today?"

Viktor's face turned ugly and he said "Not entirely…" he hesitated and Emma put her hands on her hips, looking at him. Viktor sighed and was rarely serious, "I feel like I can't give you anything, you know? I can't give you a kid or a safe place to live, or even comfort…"

His hands trembled and he frowned "I'm not strong enough to stop anything that comes by and I don't want to be like that! I can see how you look at kids, I know you want them too…. I do as well, but I can't do anything about it. You know, I only fool around to make you laugh. All I want to do is make you happy…"

He sighed and looked down, feeling depressed.

Emma was frozen on the spot and Viktor smiled weakly at her as he stood up, saying "You haven't read my mind since that last time. How could you know? I didn't want you to know." he kissed her forehead and stroked her cheek, continuing gently "I love you, Emma. That won't change…"

He tucked her hair behind her ears and added softly, his face extremely apologetic "I'm sorry for today, little Bear." He looked at her for a few moments before pursing his lips into a shallow smile and walking up the stairs to their bedroom silently.
