MARKI arrived at my company really early in the morning.My first court case against Mr. Devon started today, but it wasn’t until twelve noon, and so I wanted to get a lot of work done before then because I wasn’t sure if I would be in the mood to even work after the first court hearing.More than that, I was eager to hear from Reyna regarding what we talked about over the phone last week.Thankfully, she was equally early.All through the weekend, I tried to keep my eyes on the news and blogs. It was my first time, but I was desperate to find out what was going on with Alexa, being that I couldn’t go anywhere close to her.Vector had taken a short trip to see his grandparents over the weekend, and so he couldn’t be of help to me.Unfortunately for me, aside from the news of Mr. Silver’s passing, nothing else had been revealed, and I figured that Alexa was probably keeping things private.That was typical of her.As a matter of fact, I had the feeling that she wasn’t even the one who

IVY“What happened to him?” I asked when I was able to get over my shock and the thought that was going through my head already.“Are you alone?” She asked me for the first time.I glanced at the nurse who was glaring hatefully at me. She seemed like she would have liked to know what my mum was saying, but unfortunately, she couldn’t, and that seemed to infuriate her more. However, that wasn’t even the only worry I was having.What if the calls were being recorded somewhere?As a mental home, they might want to keep track of things their patients said and the conversations they had with people outside the mental home, but then again, I couldn’t say that to my mum because if I did, the nurse would hear.For now, the only person that might have to be worried about words being said was me.“Not exactly, but it’s pretty clear,” I said.I didn’t want to go all out and say the words, and thankfully, my mum got the memo.“Thank goodness,” she responded.“What happened to him?” I asked, my h

IVY“Hey,” Lina Barry called.This was the third time this week she was coming to me and trying to strike a conversation but I just wasn’t paying much attention to her.“You haven’t told me what is going on, Ivy. Since the day you were supposed to have your doctor’s appointment but couldn’t because of the work you were forcefully assigned to, you haven’t been yourself,” she added extensively.I stayed quiet.“I thought you didn’t like the doctor’s appointment thing. No one here does,” she finished.“Paying for the sins of someone else isn’t exactly nicer,” I eventually responded with a snap.“I am sorry about that, Ivy,” Lina Barry said.I went back to staying quiet, but she didn’t leave.“I have just been very lonely and bored, Ivy,” Lina Barry added wistfully. “It is Sunday, and I was thinking that we could just take a stroll around the mental home and do nothing…you are the only friend I have come to have around here,” she finished.Lina Barry was sad.I was livid.That damn nurse

ALEXAI stood by my words and ensured that by the time Clara was leaving, she left without a car. She left empty-handed.I went the extra-mile by asking one of the securities in the house to search through all her belongings just to ensure that she didn’t sneak in anything into her bags. “You are going to regret this, Alexa, I promise you,” Clara had threatened when she was being escorted out of the house.She was visibly pained and humiliated, but I wasn’t moved by that. None of that could be compared to the damage that she had done since she was brought into my family.“I don’t want to see traces of her anywhere near this premises,” I told the securities, loud enough for Clara to hear. “If you ever do, you are going to be arrested for trespassing,” I had added.The moment Clara was dragged out of the premises and I was certain that she had left and she would never be coming back, something happened inside of me.I felt deep relief.It was as though Clara’s presence here was making

MARKAs much as I wanted to defile Brent’s words and still go ahead to see Alexa just to find out how she was doing, I couldn’t because I knew he was right.Now wasn’t the time to play around my company.Mr. Devon had already done enough damage. He had taken years to plot the takeover, and one single mistake by me could give him all he ever wanted, leaving me empty and at a loss.“Well, this is your fault, Alexa. If you hadn’t filed that restraining order, this wouldn’t be happening,” I told myself.I didn’t want to feel bad or guilty for not being there for her because I wanted to. However, Alexa Silver didn’t want to.Even at the hospital, she had firmly stated that she didn’t want me to see her.However, I would still need to know about the funeral arrangements because even her restraining order wouldn’t stop me from paying my last and final respect to Mr. Silver, a man I had known and respected for about ten years now.As Canon drove me out of my company, I called Reyna.“Is there

ALEXAShirley arrived a while later, just when I had just finished having breakfast.“You have access to my apartment now, so ensure that everything runs smoothly,” I told her.“I will, ma’am,” she responded.“And if there is anything I need to know, you can just call me or send me a message or an email,” I added.Shirley nodded.I noticed that she had something else bothering her that she would have liked to say, but she was hesitating.“What is it?” I asked her.“It’s nothing, Miss Alexa,” she responded.It was a lie, but I didn’t even have the courage and strength to press her for details.“Alright then,” I said.Shirley left after that and I sat back at the dining table and just allowed the heaviness and hollowness to wash over me. It was even a surprise for me that I could eat a full plate of food, or maybe it was because I was deeply famished.Clara, after recovering from the shock of my demand, had scoffed and stormed upstairs to pack her things, and I could barely wait to see

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
