ALEXAThe moment my purse landed on the floor and made that loud sound, Donald stopped talking and everywhere went quiet instantly.There was no way I could turn and leave as I wanted to.“Who is it?” Donald asked.Shit.Now I felt even worse, but I could neither bend to pick up my purse or even leave. Heck, I couldn’t even leave with my purse on the ground, and more importantly, I had already drawn attention to myself. This was why Donald had closed early.The last thing I wanted was to feel jealous, and I actually wasn’t, even if Donald’s company turned out to be a female even though I couldn’t see anything to indicate that his guest was a female, like a purse too, but then again, I didn’t want to interrupt.When Donald didn’t get a response, he walked to the living room.The moment he saw me, his first reaction was shock, before it disappeared from his eyes just as quickly as it had come, and I could understand that he must be.That was the essence of surprises, wasn’t it? Only tha

ALEXAI wasn’t sure which of Donald’s companies or businesses he would be at, so I decided to ring his secretary as soon as I left mine.“Donald Shell’s office, how may I be of help?” She asked politely and professionally.“Hi, this is Alexa Silver, Donald’s friend,” I introduced myself.“You mean the Alexa?” She asked, her professionalism almost slipping out of her mouth.At first, I thought that she was acting this way because she was fascinated by me; after the tour, I became a mini-celebrity in Paris, and I thought that that was what was happening, but then again, I wasn’t particularly new to her.“The same one who has my boss wrapped around her finger?” She asked.Okay, so my initial assumption had been wrong, and it was a good thing I hadn’t said that out loud or that she couldn’t read minds, or I would have felt completely stupid.“Is he at his office?” I asked, ignoring her question that didn’t seem like a question.This was the second time that someone was saying something li

MARKAfter Mr. Devon left, Mona spent a few more minutes speaking to me before she also left.Some hours later, I felt better, and I got dressed and went to the company to get some work done. By evening, I was already ready to leave for the day.Brent and I already scheduled to meet later that night, and when Vector called during the day and I told him about it, he decided to tag along.“Ready?” Vector asked, showing up at my door.“Yes,” I said.I was already packing up to leave when he arrived, so he only had to wait for a few minutes.“All done,” I said.When we got out of my office, my secretary was there.“Have a wonderful night, Mr. Mark,” she said cheerily.I simply grunted a response, barely able to stand her presence.Even though I was trying hard enough to act normal, I also restricted the numbers of time I set my eyes on her. Mostly, I just called her on the intercom to give her some important instructions. I also asked her to simply be sending my schedule for the day to my

ALEXAAfter Matty Farm signed the contract, we had a brief meeting and made schedules about how to go about all that we needed to moving forward.He was a very focused man, and I couldn’t understand why my heart had seemed uncomfortable initially. He knew exactly what he wanted, and he was very much business-oriented.By the end of the meeting, I felt like I had done something great, and I couldn’t wait for it to start manifesting.“Enjoy the rest of your day, Miss Alexa,” he said.“Alexa is fine. We are business partners now, aren’t we?” I requested.He smiled and said, “Of course, Alexa.”We exchanged a handshake, and he left.I sat down, closed my eyes, and allowed everything that had just happened to wash over me, and I continued telling myself that I felt better and that I did the right thing.“This is going to turn out well, Alexa,” I reminded myself over and over again.Reyna came into the boardroom a few minutes after, and only then did I open my eyes.“Matty Farm is going to

ALEXA“Good morning, Miss Alexa,” Reyna greeted cheerily the moment I arrived at the company.“Good morning, Reyna,” I responded. “My dad isn’t here, is he?” I asked her.I didn’t see his car in the parking lot, and so I had to ask.“No, he isn’t,” Reyna answered, and I became instantly worried.Reyna noticed my countenance.“I was equally surprised, ma’am, because the only time Mr. Silver wasn’t here early was when he was sick and in the hospital,” Reyna added.“I am sure he is just running late,” I said, trying not to blow the situation out of proportion.I was also quick to recall the stunt he pulled last night, and maybe he was just still in his gaming mood. I was still upset about it, but right now, it was all about business, and more than ever before, I just wanted to prove my dad and Mark wrong.I wanted to watch them eat every single word that they had uttered or every action towards me that had demeaned me in one way or another.“Anyway, Matty Farm should be here any minute f

MARK“What on earth would Mr. Devon be doing at my house at this time of the day?” I asked myself worriedly.Even though I should have been at the company by now, it was still very early, considering that as the CEO, I could get to work at any time of the day that I deemed fit. However, that wasn’t how I operated, but it didn’t stop me from wondering why Mr. Devon was here.“Should I let him in?” My doorman asked.He didn’t instantly let Mr. Devon in, which was what he would have done, being that he was very familiar with Mr. Devon, because he knew that I was having a serious conversation with someone else.Mona was still very horrified.She looked like she was going to pee in her pants, especially when the doorman asked if he should let Mr. Devon in.Was this a coincidence or did Mr. Devon know that Mona was right here in my living room?Judging by everything that was going on, it was really difficult for me to think that this might be a coincidence.“Calm down, Mona,” I told her. B

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
