MARKI waited for Vector at a completely different bar. The Dancing Devils had long been blacklisted by me the moment the owner fell for Donald Shell’s tactics.And I also told Vector never to tell me anything about the club. I didn’t care if it was permanently closed up or Donald Shell was now in charge of it; anything could have happened to it or anyone could be running it for all I cared.Anyway, while I waited, I decided to call Gina back.Since the last time we spoke, I hadn’t had the time to do that. Gina picked up almost immediately.It was a good thing I chose to stay at the reserved area where there was less noise and attention. A man of my class and status shouldn’t be in the same space with some certain persons even though this particular bar was for the elite in the city.“Good evening, Mr. Mark,” Gina greeted the moment the call connected.“Hello, Gina, have I called too late?” I asked her, glancing at my expensive wristwatch.It wasn’t so late at night, but I also knew t

ALEXA“I don’t want you to be mad, Alexa,” Noelle said when she saw the anger in my eyes. “I just want us to have a conversation,” she added.“You have been speaking with Mark,” I accused her bluntly.“Not exactly, just thinking about what you told me,” Noelle said.But a part of me felt as though she was lying to me. As a matter of fact, I had been suspicious of Noelle since the moment she walked in some minutes ago. I couldn’t just shake off the feeling.“And?” I asked, shrugging.That was me trying to control my growing rage.“I don’t think it’s a bad idea if you leave,” Noelle told me.I scoffed bitterly and angrily.Noelle might really think that I was dumb or stupid. Heavily pregnant, yes, but definitely not stupid.“I am serious, Alexa,” Noelle insisted.“Noelle, I don’t know how stupid you think I am, but I am certainly not an idiot,” I told her blatantly.“What are you talking about?” Noelle asked, feigning confusion and ignorance.“Let’s start with how you vehemently never w

ALEXAI was almost done having lunch for the second time in one afternoon when Noelle showed up.“Here comes the long awaited best friend,” I teased as Noelle made her way to me.Noelle smiled, shaking her head.When she got to the dining table, she plopped herself into one of the seats across from me.“Hey, Alexa, I am sorry I am just coming,” Noelle apologized.“I wonder if this is how you intend to handle our new business, especially now that we have more contracts and clients piling up,” I said, still lightly.Noelle looked deeply at me, noting that there was something light about how I was sounding.“Did something good happen?” Noelle asked me.“We have six more people who sent in emails, seeking contracts, Noelle!” I announced to her happily.Yes, I had wanted Noelle to get here way before now, so much so that I had almost gotten pissed off when she kept delaying, but now that she was here, I wasn’t feeling that way any longer. What mattered was that she was here already.“For r

MARKNoelle was the last person I expected to run into at the hospital parking lot, but the moment the shock wore off, I became worried.“Is Alexa okay?” I asked Noelle, walking over to her.The fury was still in her eyes, but I was more concerned about Alexa’s health more than anything else in the entire universe, including Noelle’s fury.“That was Mona, huh?” Noelle asked.But it was way more than just a question. It was a statement of fact, accompanied by a warning tone. Noelle had obviously seen Mona and I come out of the hospital, and probably even heard the little exchange between us.Or Mona’s firm instructions.“Yes, that was she,” I responded even though the question didn’t call for a response. “How is Alexa? Is she okay?” I asked again, worried that Noelle might have brought Alexa to the hospital.I already knew that I would not forgive myself if anything happened to Alexa or our baby while I was busy with Mona.“Do you even care about Alexa?” Mona asked me bitterly and angr

MARKRising from that seat and leaving the doctor’s office was my walk of shame. Even as I did, I felt his eyes following me.The doctor acted like a professional that he was, but I could tell that he was dying to penalize me for being with another woman at the same time with Alexa.If only he knew how stuck up I was.I would have been willing to explain the entire situation to him, but he had been cold and dismissive towards me, which was the first time he was treating me like that, and that enough to tell me that I hadn’t misread the reaction in his eyes.“Here you are,” Mona said in the singing voice the moment I came out of the doctor’s office.“Oh, fuck!” I reacted in shock.First of all, I didn’t think she would still be waiting, and secondly, I had been consumed by my thoughts, so much so that I hadn’t even seen her standing right there.“I am sorry, honey. I didn’t mean to startle you,” Mona apologized sweetly.“First of all, I am Mark Ronaldo to you,” I warned Mona firmly. “A

MARK“Like I said earlier, everything is fine with the baby. Your next appointment is next week, but if you feel any differently before then, don’t hesitate to come around,” the doctor told Mona and me.“Of course, doctor,” Mona responded.I groaned internally.A part of me felt like the doctor saying that last part was a mistake because knowing Mona, she might want to use that as an opportunity to drag me back to the hospital before the following week.However, if Alexa had simply accepted what I told her, we would have been out of Paris by now.My plan was simply to make myself unavailable, using work as an excuse. According to the court order, Brent already explained that in the case that I had to be away, I wouldn’t be charged for not doing what Mona wanted me to do, as long as I substituted it with money.That could easily be managed.I would rather give Mona money than go through this torture of being here.“If there is nothing else, that would be all for now,” the doctor said.

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
