MARKAlexa and I ate for some minutes in silence. With the way she moaned at each bite, I knew that she felt the deliciousness of the food.The conversation before we sat down to eat was so easy and light, and I had no idea that bringing up what I wanted to talk about would land on a fertile soil.Alexa looked happy and that made me genuinely happy.“This is delicious,” Alexa eventually said when she was almost done emptying her plate.The moaning sound and now speaking huskily really turned me on, but this was neither the place, nor the time.“It is,” I responded.“Can I get another plate?” Alexa asked.“Of course, Alexa. We have a whole platter on our table and it belongs to us. If you still want something more, all you have to do is ask and I will send for it,” I told Alexa.“I thought this was everything they had on their menu,” Alexa said, recounting what she had said earlier.“Yes, but it is not everything they have in the restaurant, and I can make them go over and beyond to ge

ALEXANo matter what was going on between Mark and me, I just couldn’t get over this priceless moment, especially as he had had to pay the restaurant to open this space just for something like this.I hadn’t lied when I said that I once wished I could be here when it was recently opened, but this was nothing compared to what I had wished for.This was magical.“I have never seen Paris like this before,” I said when I noticed Mark’s presence close me. “Have you?” I asked him.My voice was low, but I didn’t have to worry about it because the wind carried the words, as well as our fragrances. It was just not something I could fully explain.“Once,” Mark responded.“Was it on a date like this?” I asked.The moment I did, I felt a pang of jealousy because I could already imagine that it was when him and Ivy had been on a date. Mark had been with other women before Ivy, but somehow, in my head, they didn’t exist.Only Ivy did and the pain it brought to my chest was raw and deep.“No, it was

MARKAlexa accepted the flowers, but I could tell that she didn’t want to act as though she liked them. My only encouragement was the blush I saw on her cheeks.That was enough for me...for now.Hopefully, by the time we were done with dinner, she would be totally swept off her feet, and she wouldn’t turn down my offer.So help me God...“Shall we?” I requested.“Yeah,” Alexa responded.I reached out to hold her other hand, but she tried to get away from me. Nevertheless, I didn’t want that to happen, so I systematically snaked my hand around her waist.Alexa didn’t protest or try to get away from me.Damn, she was so hot and sexy in this dress and I felt like kissing her instantly, but I had a feeling that this was the wrong time to make such moves.When Reyna told me that she had contacted the best female fashion designer in the city, I hadn’t thought that it had been extreme.And I loved it.Alexa and I got to my car where Cannon Dexter was waiting to drive us. She also allowed me

ALEXA“I don’t think you should be worrying about anything, Alexa. She didn’t call to cancel, just postpone by one day. As a matter of fact, I think you are overthinking everything,” Noelle told me five minutes after the call.“She just seemed too professional to be postponing our meeting,” I responded.“You said it yourself that she had an emergency. She is human, Alexa, and she has other engagements in life,” Noelle insisted.I tried to shake it off, just so that I could stop worrying about everything like Noelle had so put it, but I just couldn’t, and that was when it dawned on me.“What is it?” Noelle asked me when she saw my reaction.“Claudia didn’t sound as though she was cancelling with all of us in her class, Noelle. She sounded as though it just had to be with Mark and me,” I told her.The conversation with Claudia was replaying in my head and I still couldn’t find the place where she added the other parents.Noelle’s sighed in exasperation.“How could she have included the

ALEXAShirley and Noelle stood in front of me and stared at me with awe in their eyes after putting on the dress Eva had sent about forty minutes ago.She had wanted to deliver it herself, but knowing the kind of woman she was, I knew without a doubt that she was merely looking for a gossip, and so I had told her to send it through a courier instead.The dress fit exceptionally well.“What do you think?” I asked Noelle and Shirley, tired of waiting to get a response from them even though my mirror already gave me the answer I needed.Shirley ought to have closed for the day and left, but as soon as she knew that I was getting dressed for a dinner date, she insisted on waiting behind, and I let her.It felt really good having both Noelle and Shirley here with me.“Mr. Mark has an eye for good things!” Shirley gushed.“Technically, it is Eva who decided on the design and made the dress. Mark only requested for her services,” I corrected Shirley, nearly rolling my eyeballs.“She wouldn’t

MARK“Reyna, thank you for today,” I said to my personal assistant before leaving my company.“I was only doing my job, sir,” Reyna responded with nobility.“It was more than your job,” I told her and I meant it.Again, I hadn’t had anyone I could confide in since I became CEO. Even my dad’s personal assistant wasn’t like this with him.Reyna was not just efficient, but she was also trustworthy.Within a minute of talking to her, she had come up with a brilliant idea. Some hours ago, after Mona had left, leaving me in a state of anger, Reyna had come in.“Is anything the matter, Mr. Mark?” Reyna had asked me.Originally, I would have waved it off, deciding to handle things myself like I always did, or even if I couldn’t, Vector would be the one I would speak to and not Reyna, but in that moment, I just hadn’t minded.Also, Reyna had become too deeply involved to keep her out. She might not act like it, but she knew everything that was going on between Alexa and me. She was just too pr

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
