Chapter: When Love Falls Into Place!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

Chapter: The Planners Of Love!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

Chapter: A Love Worth HavingVivian’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

Chapter: Fight For Love And ForgivenessSyrus’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

Chapter: Water Under The BridgeVivian’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

Chapter: Finally Set Free!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

Chapter: Only In PaperALEXA“Congratulations, Mr. Mark,” Shirley and Reyna sang to Mark who merely smiled tightly and nodded in acknowledgment.He wasn’t happy.Well, that would make two of us.They turned to me and said, “Congratulations, Mrs. Alexa.”And that made my heart beat instantly because it stuck to me.Mrs. Alexa.If the called the full name, it would be Mrs. Alexa Mark Ronaldo. Well, until the court papers, I wouldn’t be referred to as that. However, the sound of that tasted really bitter on my tongue, and I already knew that I wanted nothing to do with that name.“Thank you, Shirley and Reyna,” I responded with a forced smile.I didn’t feel like being here, and thankfully, the damn wedding was over and I could leave. If Reyna and Shirley had questions, they had decided against it already.If they were disappointed by how I appeared for my own wedding, they didn’t show any signs of it, which was a good thing because they should know that they didn’t have any right to the choices that I make.Af

Chapter: Just a Guest As WellIVYJack returned an hour later and made us some soup from what he got while hunting. We all ate in silence and I didn’t bother with Lina Barry’s presence.Jack was already used to being quiet, and so he pretended as though he couldn’t see the tension between us.I couldn’t find the phone Jack used in communicating with Drew. What Jack didn’t know was that I had tried several times to look for it but I just couldn’t find it. It was as though he kept it somewhere in this cabin that I couldn’t reach.But where?The cabin was a small one. Was it possible that Jack would have hidden a phone in this cabin and I would not be able to find it?Or did he always take it out with him whenever he left the cabin?This left me confused and frustrated at the same time.Since Grace systematically kicked me out of her house, I had been unable to get access to any cell phone, and it would really be useful to me at this time.After the meal, we were quiet for some time and the air grew thicker. Eventual

Chapter: Crispy VowALEXAI stood and stared at everyone and no one in particular. Just as I had wanted, only four people aside from Mark and the priest were in the church.Just the way I wanted it.But even though I wasn’t staring at anyone in particular, I knew that all eyes were on me. They turned to look at me the moment I appeared on the door.And I could see their shock.Yes, I chose to pick one of the dresses in my wardrobe that still fitted. As a matter of fact, I had chosen one of the dresses I had worn before even though I had a few new dresses, deliberately ditching the two wedding dresses.At this very moment, they were still lying on my bed, staring at the roof and wondering why on earth I hadn’t taken any of them.Everyone in the church, including the priest, were wondering why I had appeared as a guest. Even Reyna and Shirley were more dressed than I was.They were coming for my wedding, so they had put in extra effort to look beautiful, including Noelle. Gosh, Mark looked radiantly handso

Chapter: Where Is The Bride?MARK“Then, that is all I need to hear,” he said with a smile. “The court is going to also issue you a certificate, containing every legal proceeding, but that will be handled by your lawyer. This is all we offer here,” he added.“I know that,” I responded.Brent would have that sorted out as soon as he got back. And why the heck wasn’t he back anyway?“Good,” the priest said with a nod.“Are we starting now?” I asked him.The only question in my head was whether Alexa had arrived yet. I had thought that he had sent for me because he wanted to have a lengthy discussion with me even though it was almost nine already.“In a minute or two,” he responded.“Alright then, I will just wait in the church for you,” I said, desperate to find out if Alexa had arrived or not.“Of course, Mr. Mark,” he said.I got up and walked out of his office.As I feared, Alexa still hadn’t shown up.Noelle was speaking to Shirley by the entrance door and Vector was talking to someone on the phone in another c

Chapter: Are You Ready To Get Married?MARK“Mr. Mark, good morning,” Reyna greeted with a smile.She was oblivious to the rising tension in our midst, and that was a very good thing because we needed something or someone that would make the atmosphere better.This was even far from what a wedding was supposed to look like. The hostility already building in the air made it worse.As a man of my status in Paris, I had attended a lot of prestigious wedding. It was really embarrassing to me and to the Ronaldo family that this was how I was getting married...for the second time, damn it.No press, all the men that mattered in the city was absent, no wedding reception, no honeymoon...absolutely nothing!All thanks to Alexa, and with how displeased I was right now, I didn’t think I would be able to forgive Alexa for making me lose something that mattered most to me.“Reyna, how are you?” I asked her, shaking the thought off my head so that I wouldn’t appear as upset as I was getting.“Very well, sir, and congratulations on your

Chapter: Savior Of The MomentMARKVector and I arrived at the church early enough. Noelle, Shirley, and Reyna were already there and there were a few flowers to adorn it.“This church is too freaking small,” I said under my breath to Vector as we made our way into the church to meet with the women. “I know it is what Alexa wanted. I wouldn’t have felt bad about it if there would have been a reception afterwards,” I added.I could barely control the anger that was rising inside my chest.“Remember what we talked about, Mark,” Vector said.No, I hadn’t forgotten about it, but it didn’t make me feel any better.“I know, Vector, but this is a wedding, and it is not something I am going to do after now,” I grumbled and Vector understood what I was talking about.It wasn’t as though it was a birthday celebration that could be done better the next year. For the second time, I was getting married, but somehow, I just couldn’t get what I wanted.“Would you rather have a lavish wedding and not have Alexa at all?” Vector as
