IVYI was very relieved when my cell phone rang and it was Lina Barry. For the first time since she left, I didn’t have to wait for her call for eternity.But still, I was surprised because it was a little dark.“Lina,” I said the moment the call connected.“Hey, Ivy,” Lina responded.She didn’t sound as hushed as she had sounded the last time. On the contrary, she sounded a little more relaxed.“Isn’t Donald Shell home at this time?” I had to ask her. “I mean, it is a little dark, and even if he isn’t, aren’t you worried that he might be back really soon?” I questioned further.“No, he isn’t. He mentioned something about having a meeting that would run late into the night, and then most of his domestic staff members have been given some days off,” Lina informed me.I sighed.At least, now I understood why she could freely talk.“Why did he give them some days off?” I asked Lina.“I haven’t figured that out, but he also sent the chef away as well,” Lina said.“Why?” I asked, becoming

ALEXA“Nelson,” I said under my breath.It was such a surprise to see him that I couldn’t even mask it.“You are back to Paris,” I added, almost dumbly.It was even weird because I wasn’t the one he had been in a relationship with, but he had been away for a while now and he had stopped seeing Noelle for weeks.“Yeah,” Nelson said with a little nervous chuckle.Then he put both hands into his pockets.Was he nervous?“When did you get back?” I asked, trying to make the atmosphere less awkward for the both of us.“Just last night,” he answered.“Oh, I see,” I replied.I was impressive that he was coming right away to see Noelle even though I didn’t say it out loud.“I was here in the morning, but neither of you were home,” Nelson said.“Um, yeah, that’s right. It’s because we were out,” I responded without stating that I had been in the hospital fighting to keep my pregnancy.It was almost as though Nelson could read my thoughts because he looked at my heavy bump at that exact moment.

ALEXAShirley and Noelle followed me upstairs to my bedroom. Even Lona came out and welcomed me, expressing her joy.In that moment, it felt that I was loved and cared for, and nothing else mattered.She also assured me that she was making the tastiest soup I had ever had, and I told her that I couldn’t wait to have a taste of it. Thankfully, I was always in the mood to eat something.When we got to my bedroom, I sat on the soft bed and Noelle helped in arranging the pillows to ensure that I was comfortable.I wasn’t in a lying position and neither was I fully sitting down.It was just perfect and comfortable for me.“I was doing some work before you arrived, ma’am. I would like to go back and finish it off so that I can return and spend some time with you before closing for the day,” Shirley told me.“Of course, Shirley, sure,” I responded, shooing her away playfully.Shirley came over to me, hugged me again, and pecked me before she went out of the bedroom.“She is surprisingly acti

ALEXAAfter all said and done, I was given a discharge letter and Noelle was there to help me get home.However, a part of me checked around the reception to see if I would catch a glimpse of Mark Ronaldo, which was weird because I asked him to disappear, and when I did, I meant it.“Is there something you are checking for?” Noelle asked me.“Huh?”I didn’t think Noelle had noticed me looking around briefly.“You are looking around, Alexa. I am asking if you need something or what you are checking for,” Noelle answered.“Absolutely nothing,” I lied and left it at that.I didn’t even bother to check if Noelle believed me or not, and it was a good thing she didn’t push it because there was no way I would tell her what was in my mind or what I was checking for, so I even had to push the thought aside.We got to the parking lot where my car was waiting and Noelle opened the door for me at the front seat. Then, she went around and sat on the driver’s seat. Of course, she wouldn’t let me dr

ALEXA“Alexa, we have watched you for more than twenty-four hours, and I can say that you are medically fit to go home,” the doctor told me with a warm smile.I forced a smile of my own.After Noelle followed Mark out and came back some minutes later, we didn’t say a word to each other.Then, I fell asleep and didn’t wake up until the next morning, and now, it was almost noon.I didn’t think I had had a more peaceful sleep in the last couple of weeks.It felt as though I was completely unconscious, and as such, oblivious to everything going on in the world, and particularly in my life.It was peaceful and serene, and a tiny part of me wished that I could remain in that state forever, but it wasn’t possible.The only way that would be possible was if I died.I also knew that the medications and treatments were the reason I was able to sleep so peacefully, and now that I was awake, I felt really better and there was a certain kind of strength I felt now.“Thank you, doctor,” I responded

MARKAs much as I really wanted to stay, I just couldn’t. What I saw in Alexa’s eyes as she said those words seeped into my bones.She meant it.Not that she had never meant the other words that she spoke about, but this was different.She stared at me, waiting for me to disappear completely like I never existed, and at that very moment, I didn’t know what else to do or say.So far, Alexa had made it really difficult for me to fix anything. This was even worse and I knew that she wouldn’t allow it pass.Without much of a choice, I turned around and walked out.Halfway through the aisle, Noelle called me.“Mark.”I stopped and turned, and then I waited for her to catch up with me.“Are you really leaving because she asked you to?” Noelle asked me, sounding slightly disappointed.“Why would I do that?” I asked Noelle in return. “Hold on a second, did you really think that I would abandon my child?” I questioned her further.“Well, I wouldn’t know...with the way you just turned and walke

Vivian’s POV“Today, we have gathered in holy matrimony to join two love birds, whose love could not be altered with the wave of time; Marie and Vale,” the priest started beautifully.I couldn’t stop smiling as I watched Marie and Mr. Vale, dressed to perfection: Marie in a white flowery down and Mr. Vale in black pair suits. Nancy wasn’t present, because she wasn’t invited, which was understandably so, even though they had all resolved things amicably. However, Bonnie, easy to forgive now that her mother had asked her to, was in attendance. Actually, she had flown in some days before, just so that she could have moments with her father too. I noticed that she was nice to me as well, and she even brought gifts for the triplets who would be coming to the world any time soon.Bonnie sat behind Syrus and I, squealing in delight.“This is the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended!” Bonnie whispered happily, but her voice was loud enough for us to hear her.Then Syrus turned to her

Vivian’s POVI sat on the patio just resting and thinking yet again about everything that had happened. This time around, my thoughts weren’t exactly filled with bitterness or anger or sadness. A lot had happened since Diana showed up here and hugged me. She had confessed that she was deeply hurt and begrudged, but after carefully thinking about it, and of course, discussing it with Marie, she had come to the realization that her brother had fooled her for years. While she had struggled and worked hard to achieve everything she had achieved, Leon had chosen to go through the illegal and seemingly wrong path, and she knew that he would have to face the consequences of his actions. Our conversation also brought me to the same resolution with Ted, and the rest of my family.The trial was held about three days ago. I couldn’t attend, because my due date was gradually drawing near, and deep down, I didn’t want to see Ted’s face and break down all over again. The drug lord, his men, along

Vivian’s POVEverything seemed to be happening in such a rush that it was all too much for me to handle. Syrus’s reappearance and his conscious efforts to win back my forgiveness and affection was also overwhelming.He had lived with Mr. Vale and Marie for over a week now, and he had not stopped persisting. Initially, I thought that he would have given up and run back to his company as he always did, but he hadn’t…yet. Syrus kept trying by words and in actions to prove that he was truly sorry, and I maintained the cold shoulders I gave to him, but still, he refused to relent. Syrus had been ordering flowers and notes for me every single day without fail. According to him, he wasn’t trying to buy my love and forgiveness with gifts, because he knew that I wasn’t that kind of woman, but flowers only indicated his genuineness and love for me, which was even why he wasn’t including any other gift. Also, his determination to restore his broken relationship with his father was evident, and

Syrus’s POVSyrus discovered that his father’s house was not as big as the mansion he grew up in, but it was a very homely and cozy bungalow. The moment he entered, he felt more at home and at peace more than he had ever been.“I will show you to your room,” Marie told Syrus as she led him to a room beside the room that Vivian was staying in.When they got into the room, Syrus was impressed at the neatness and warmth of the room.“Thank you, Marie,” Syrus told her deeply.“I am going to make some pasta and we will all eat at the dining table, so use this chance to rest and freshen up,” Marie said politely.She was about leaving when Syrus stopped her. “Do you think she will ever forgive me and talk to me?” Syrus asked.After he had made himself known as the extra traveller, he noticed that Vivian went cold. She had vehemently refused to share a seat with Syrus in the plane even though Mr. Vale had intentionally arranged the ticket in that format. Syrus could not deny that the hostili

Vivian’s POVBelinda and I hurried to the airport, because after all she had told me, I was afraid that Georgia might somehow know that I was in the city, and she would find a way to hurt me. I was heavily pregnant now, and if anything happened, I did not even have the strength to fight or defend myself.“I will come with you and wait for your employers until they get here. If anything were to happen, I don’t want you to ever have to face her alone,” Belinda said firmly when I tried to dissuade her from going with me to the airport.It wasn’t until we got to the airport safely that I became less worried. Also, even though I had wanted Belinda to return to her apartment initially, I was very grateful to have her here with me. We were able to get a safe place to sit and wait where the cops were always watching and patrolling about.“Do you want me to get you anything from the cafeteria?” Belinda asked when she noticed how weak and tired I was after we sat down.“No, I am fine. I was jus

Syrus’s POVSyrus drove home like a lunatic. He could barely wait to confront his mother for everything he just heard. His entire being was boiling with anger and rage.For years, his mother had lied to both him and Bonnie, and she had made them hate their father unjustly. More so, they had grown up without their father’s love and affection all because of her selfish and greedy desires! His mother was just as cruel and cunning as Georgia; there was literally no difference between them, and now, Syrus understood why she chose Georgia over Vivian. For all Syrus knew, evil always aligned with evil.“Damn, I have been such a fool to let Georgia, my mother, and the company come in between what Vivian and I shared,” Syrus said to himself painfully and regrettably.He wanted exactly what he saw between his father and Marie; love, loyalty, friendship, and companionship, and he did not want to enjoy that only when he was old. He had all that with Vivian, but he had ruined it. To Syrus, he beli
