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

IVYLeaving the house was more difficult than getting in, and that was because of the presence of the cops, but someone like me who had been through hell and high waters, I knew just what to do.It didn’t take me longer than ten minutes to figure out what I needed to do.The plans were made already.All I needed to do was find my way out.So I had sneaked into Lora’s room. She was already dismissed for the day and I knew that she left about two hours ago to go and spend the New Year with her family and loved ones.As suspected, she left her uniforms in the room.I got into one of them and thankfully, it fit properly. The apron was a good disguise and I had to take the risk. I ensured that my face was covered enough, but not too much to raise suspicion, and then I went out, taking with me the trashcan from the kitchen.It was a huge risk, but then again, I didn’t have another choice.Alexa had already told me several times that my days were numbered and that she never wanted me to stay

ALEXAI waited anxiously for Mark to arrive.The moment I realized that Ivy was truly gone, I had called Mark, and I waited in the living room for him even though I knew that the drive from his house back to mine was a couple of minutes.I would have asked Lora, but I already asked her to take the day off so that she would be able to spend the eve with her family.And if the cops had seen something, they would have mentioned it. Going to ask them would make them confused.If Ivy was able to get into the house without being seen, then it was quite possible that she would be able to also leave without being seen. She knew her way around the house because she lived her for years.“What if Mark isn’t into it?” I asked myself.I hadn’t forgotten the episode at the local diner where a woman had called him and he had lied to me, but right now, I wanted Mark.I wanted his presence.I could worry about that some other time. Also, Noelle made me believe that it was okay for me to use him to sat

MARK“You haven’t answered my question, Mona,” I told her tightly.“Oh, but I have,” Mona responded.Then she sat back down, gently placing the bottle of champagne on the table.“I came to celebrate with you, and I figured that since we would be parents soon, we should spend the New Year together,” she added. “And where are you coming from at this time of the night?” Mona asked, staring at me.“We are not going to be a family, Mona,” I blurted out angrily, ignoring her question.She was gradually becoming a problem I couldn’t get rid of.“I am pregnant for you, Mark,” Mona reminded me.And I really wished that she wasn’t.I knew I was being cruel right now, but I couldn’t it.Blaming Alexa for being the reason I got together with Mona; if she hadn’t pushed me away, I would never have considered Mona, would have been good, just as I had earlier done, but the truth was that I couldn’t blame her.Alexa didn’t ask me to be with another woman.I could have kept to myself and stayed celibat

MARKOn my way back home, I called Vector; I just couldn’t wait.“Vector, were you sleeping already?” I asked the moment the call connected.It was almost midnight already, so it was quite possible that Vector might have slept off, but from the sound of his voice, it didn’t seem like he was sleeping, and even if he was, I didn’t mind waking him up. Vector was my best friend for a reason.“No, I wasn’t,” Vector responded. “And why do you sound so excited?” Vector asked.But before I could give an answer, he had already figured it out.“This is about your night with Alexa, isn’t it?” He asked me.“Yes, it is,” I answered, relieved that he hadn’t totally forgotten that I was spending the eve with Alexa.“Hmm, it must have gone well with the way you are sounding,” Vector stated with suspicion in his voice.“I asked her to marry me,” I blurted out.“What?” Vector was stunned to his bones. “You didn’t tell me that you were going to do something like that,” Vector added.“I didn’t think I wa

ALEXA“He asked me to marry him, Noelle!” I yelled into the phone as soon as Mark drove out and Noelle picked up.It was about a few minutes to the New Year.Mark and I had surprisingly spent more hours at the local diner, way more than we had ever spent with each other, and after his proposal, I could barely wait to talk to Noelle.I wasn’t certain she would pick up, but I was too desperate not to try.“What?” Noelle was stunned to her bones. “Who?” Noelle asked even though we both knew who I was referring to.“Mark asked me to marry him a while ago, Noelle,” I blurted out again.I just couldn’t get into the house, so I stopped in the living room to speak with Noelle. Every part of me was acting in a way I couldn’t even understand. I didn’t know how best to explain it.Mark Ronaldo and I were married for five years before our messy divorce, but this was the first time he was actually asking me to marry him…a few hours to the New Year!“Are you serious?” Noelle sounded more stupefied.

MARKSince Alexa wanted to talk about something else, I didn’t have a choice but to oblige her. Thankfully, she wasn’t asking something that might ruin the mood, and hopefully, I would be able to find my way around telling her how I felt.“Well, Reyna helped me make the necessary arrangements,” I told her.The moment I did, I caught something flash in Alexa’s eyes, but I really couldn’t tell what it was because it disappeared almost immediately, but it dawned on me that it probably had to be because Reyna once worked for her and her father.“I am sorry about getting Reyna to work for me,” I cleared my throat and said.The air between us was changing, and I really didn’t want it to, but then again, avoiding it wasn’t the solution to it.“It’s fine,” Alexa said, but I didn’t feel that way.I shook my head.“I don’t think I ever apologized for it,” I said.“What’s there to apologize for? If you didn’t hire her, someone else would have,” Alexa responded.She didn’t sound very pissed off,
