ALEXA“I cannot believe this,” my dad said through clenched teeth.Then he got up at the same time and went to the door, yanking it open to catch who was there, but there was no one there.However, we both knew what we heard.The person probably sensed that he or she had been discovered, and took to their heels.My dad sucked his teeth angrily before he returned to his seat, but I noticed that he wasn’t as strong as he had always been. Even his steps didn’t seem solid.“Is everything okay with your health, dad?” I asked him, becoming instantly worried.“Let’s not focus on that right now,” he snapped.And I knew that he would not say a single word even if I persisted. However, I made a mental note to call the nurse that had been hired by Mark to watch over him to find out about his health. If he hadn’t gotten up, I wouldn’t have realized how frail he looked.And that bothered me deep down, but then again, my dad was too stubborn and upset to talk about it.“You have explained the meani

ALEXAI went to my dad’s company; it was simply easier to refer to it as that, and I was surprised to see my dad’s car parked in the parking lot.“Well, someone decides to remember the company today,” I said without anger.Eventually, I knew that my dad would come around.He probably didn’t think that I would be able to pull things off up till this point, but I guess that at the end of the day, he would have to admit that I had done what he never thought I was capable of doing.I also noticed Matty Farm’s car in the parking lot as well.I tried not to think about Noelle leaving my business. Yes, I started this alone because it was my dream, but Noelle had been there all along, and when I eventually made her partner, I never envisioned that we would part ways like this.Regardless, I had no intentions of calling her or reaching out.“She has made her choice,” I told myself as I made my way to the front entrance.“Good afternoon, Miss Alexa,” Reyna greeted.“Good afternoon, Reyna,” I re

MARK“Do you need anything else for the day?” My secretary asked me after reminding me for the schedule left for the day.“No, I don’t,” I responded strictly.There were so many things that left me angry and frustrated, and I rarely cared what she thought of my countenance.Since I left Alexa’s apartment, she hadn’t even called, and calling her just seemed as though I was being thirsty.Yes, I was thirsty for her, but she kicked me out of her apartment, and sometimes, no matter how much I loved and wanted her, I just couldn’t allow her to trample on my feelings just like that. I had expected her to choose me over Donald, but she hadn’t.And then, the news of Mr. Devon’s accumulated wealth came rushing back.Being with Alexa made everything disappear, but after I left her and arrived at my company for the day’s work, the weight of it came crashing on me, and I couldn’t shake it off.Of course I wouldn’t be able to until everything was ironed out.I trusted Brent; I hadn’t met a lawyer

IVY“I haven’t seen you this eager for your doctor’s appointment,” Lina Barry told me.As much as I tried to hide my eager anticipation, I could barely. Since the last appointment, I had been counting the days before the next one.“I am not eager about anything,” I denied.Lina Barry, although being the only friend I had here, could be very discouraging; that was something I had noticed about her, which was exactly why I still hid the fact that I wanted to escape from here from her.No matter what and the impossibilities that she had posed before me, I knew that I would have to find a way.My only worry was that what happened the last time shouldn’t repeat itself again. Hopefully, the young doctor wouldn’t be changed again.Last week’s appointment had gone smoothly, and I ensured not to get carried away by his presence again and try to shoot my shot; that was what I did the last time that made him allow the older doctors to continue attending to me, or so I figured.Now more than ever

ALEXAWhat happened in my apartment felt like something that only happened in the movies, and I needed time alone to process it.When I came out of the bathroom and didn’t see Mark, my first thought was that he was seeing a movie in the living room, and I had mistaken the masculine voices for those in the television, only for me to come out and see both of them by my door.One inside, and the other, standing with a bunch of flowers at my door.“Damn,” I said worriedly.I wasn’t particularly concerned about Donald, because I didn’t have anything to do with him that would make him feel as though he was being cheated on, but this wasn’t just a scenario that I ever thought I would have to deal with.Worse, we were already getting to become really good friends, and now this…The pain in Donald’s eyes was evident.Thankfully, Mark left with his pant, so there wouldn’t be need for me to go to him again, or for him to even come to me, but I didn’t want things to be like that between Donald an

MARK“Good morning, Donald,” I said with a sneer. “How may I help you?” I asked him.It was a good thing that I was shirtless. That way, Donald was certain about what went down between the both of us last night.Seeing me here this early should tell him that I slept over, but I wanted him to actually know what had transpired.It was childish and petty, but I couldn’t help it.I wanted Donald Shell to know that Alexa was mine, and maybe that way, he would back off and let me be.Donald ground his teeth; I could see it from the movement of his jaw, and it took every self-control I ever had not to stick out my tongue at him.He tried to get into Alexa’s apartment, but I stopped him by blocking the way.Donald Shell was a no-match for me as a man. I was taller, broader, and more physically built than he was, or could ever be.“You haven’t answered the question I asked, Donald,” I reminded him.Donald’s anger intensified when it dawned on him that he couldn’t get me off the way, and over t

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
