ALEXA“How are you feeling now, Alexa?” The doctor asked as he came for another round of checkup.“I feel a lot better,” I told him.And that was the truth.The pain I was feeling in my lower abdomen had disappeared and I could turn freely.“I can see that,” the doctor said with a warm smile.“Is the positioning of the baby better?” Noelle asked worriedly.She stayed back after our conversation, and that meant Shirley had to leave. Noelle told her that she was here to take care of me now and that Shirley was, of course, welcome to come and visit at any time.And now, I felt really guilty.Despite what Noelle was going through, she was already acting all protective and caring of me, and yet, the first chance I got, I was quick to cut her off without even listening to what she had to say.It wasn’t fair.Once again, I had allowed my anger to overrule my emotions, and it made me think of Mark; of how I had also pushed him away without giving him a listening ear.“The baby is doing just f

MARK“Mark Ronaldo, we are so glad that you could make it all the way here,” the head of the company told me.“I was hoping that we would be able to get everything signed in an hour or two,” I responded with a nod.He also nodded.There were other business associates dressed in fine and expensive suits. I arrived a while ago and they had had to run me through their expectations for the project in the next six months and I understood their need for that.“We will have it drafted out immediately,” he said.I was surprised.“It’s not ready yet?” I asked, turning to the business associate that I had kept in touch with for days now.With the explanation he gave over the phone, I thought that it was ready, and that all I had to do was fly in and sign. Getting a private plane to fly me down here wasn’t easy, and if it wasn’t for my influence and money, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve that.I was really hoping that I wouldn’t have to spend more than two hours here so that I could get rig

IVYI couldn’t stop thinking about my visit to my mum. There were two things that basically occupied my mind; running into Detective Kent and what Donald Shell owed my mum.“With how well disguised I was, I doubt he will be able to recognize me,” I said to myself.If he did, he would have acted that way, but from the way he stared at me, it was obvious that he didn’t catch my face. To him, he had simply almost knocked a stranger down.And so I didn’t think much about it.However, the money...One hundred thousand dollars!I wasn’t even thinking of the percentage from the company. Knowing how greedy Donald Shell was, I knew that he would never give anything from the company he stole from Alexa and her father even though it was in a small percentage.“I need that money,” I muttered to myself.My mum was going to rot in jail for the rest of her life. There were no chances of her ever coming out because Alexa would never forgive her for killing her father, and so I wasn’t thinking about h

ALEXAI woke up from my nap, expecting to see Shirley beside me, or no one else, but I was surprised to see Noelle sitting beside me.For a moment, I thought that I was dreaming or seeing a ghost, but she was real as could be.“Noelle,” I called, my breath coming out in a gasp.I was more shocked from seeing her than upset because she was the last person I expected to see. The last time I spoke to Noelle, she was out of the country, but now, here she was, staring at me with gloomy eyes.“Alexa, you are awake,” she said.There was something about Noelle’s voice that expressed nothing but sadness, and she looked very weak and pale.“What are you doing here?” I asked her.Before I took a nap, Shirley and Reyna were here after Reyna gave me the flowers that she had gotten for me.“I had hoped to see you for the first time in the year at your house, but I guess the universe had other plans. Anyway, I am happy that you are fine,” Reyna had said lightly.Then she and Shirley had talked off m

MARKThe doctor didn’t need to say more before I understood everything he meant, and the ones his mouth didn’t speak, his eyes conveyed.He knew that Alexa needed protection.But would she let me protect her?“Mark,” Vector called, distracting me from my thought.I turned to Vector, who was standing close to Reyna.“Are you okay?” Vector asked me worriedly.They were both staring at me with deep worry.“Did the doctor say something about Alexa that we should be worried about?” He asked me further.“No, he didn’t,” I said, shaking my head.“Are you sure?” Vector asked more deeply.“Yes, Vector, I am sure,” I responded.“I texted Shirley, and she told me that it was okay for me to come in and say hi to Miss Alexa...Miss Alexa didn’t mind,” Reyna said carefully.She didn’t want to hurt me, and at the same time, she wanted to let me know before going in with her flowers. I was envious and a little upset, but not at Reyna; it wasn’t her fault that Alexa chose to see her over me.“It’s fine

MARKVector and I waited at the reception area for the doctor to return and tell me that I could see Alexa.“You need to calm down, Mark,” Vector told me, but I lashed out at him.“Don’t freaking ask me to calm down!” I barked at him.He had no idea what was running through my mind.After Reyna’s call, I had been left utterly clueless. She didn’t give me much information to work with.The doctor wasn’t saying much either.At this very moment, I had no idea how Alexa or my baby was doing. I had no clue what happened that led Alexa to be rushed to the hospital.Weren’t we here for our parental classes a while ago?Alexa was hale and hearty for crying out loud!“I am sorry,” Vector said. “I am just worried that you would give yourself a heart attack or fall sick if you continue like that,” he added with deep care.But I wasn’t concerned about all that.“The only person who deserves any form of worrying over is Alexa and my baby,” I snapped and Vector raised his hand in surrender, choosin

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
