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

IVYI hid by the side of the stairs and watched them as jealousy bubbled inside of me, and for a moment, I thought they were going to kiss.As much as I hated it, they seemed perfect.“That should have been me,” I told myself as I watched them.All day, I had had to hide myself inside the damn room because coming out would mean risking being seen by that new chef that Alexa refused to get rid of. Now that I was certain that she had gone to bed, I sneaked out to get something to eat.I was famished beyond words.My stomach had been rumbling for hours now.Even right now, it was still rumbling. At first, I feared that Alexa and Mark would hear, but they didn’t. They were so engrossed with each other that it seemed impossible for them to hear anything. Even if I fell from the stairs, I doubted that they would see, hear, or notice.They kept staring at each other as Mark’s hand stayed gently placed on Alexa’s stomach.I ground my teeth in annoyance.Again, this should have been me and no

ALEXALori did some good shopping, and when she made dinner, I found myself eating so much than I had done in weeks.“Did you enjoy the food, ma’am?” She asked me.“Yes, Lori, thank you,” I told her after dinner. “And please, call me Alexa,” I added.I already told her before, but I was willing to tell her over and over again until she took the correction. I understood that she wanted to be formal, but being addressed by my name would make me more comfortable.From the outset, I never liked the formalities, not even from domestic workers, unlike Ivy who craved for them.I always preferred to be addressed by my name because it made me feel better.Speaking about Ivy, she hadn’t stepped her feet out of her bedroom since Lori arrived. Even when Lori went to the grocery store, she didn’t dare come out, and I realized that not running into her as frequently made me more relieved.Hopefully, she would get uncomfortable enough to leave.After dinner, I stayed in the living room to catch a sh

MARKVector and I remained at the club, just drinking and talking about random things, and that was because I told Vector that I wanted to talk about something else.Apparently, I would have to speak to Mona again, which I absolutely hated and dreaded, but I didn’t have any choice at the moment.I would have to sort it out before Alexa hears of it.My phone rang. It was Brent.“Hey, Brent,” I said into the phone.I had to speak more loudly because of the noise at the club.“Where are you?” Brent asked.“At the club,” I answered.“Alright then, I am coming over,” Brent told me.“Alright, fine,” I said before ending the call.“What does he want?” Vector asked me as soon as he noticed that I had ended the call.“Brent is coming over,” I responded.“Oh, is there a reason why?” Vector asked.“He didn’t say. He probably just wants to unwind as we are doing,” I answered.“That’s fair. He works just as hard as you do, and I believe that a time here would help him feel better,” Vector said and

ALEXAI went to check who was at the door, and to my confusion, it was a woman who was well into her thirties.“Hello, good day, ma’am,” she greeted with a warm smile.“Good morning,” I responded, still wondering who she was and what she was doing here. “How may I help you?” I asked her.“You must be Miss Alexa Silver, right?” She inquired.“Yes, that’s me,” I responded.“My name is Lora, and I am here because I have been hired as your personal chef and nutritionist,” she responded.I became confused.“Hired? I didn’t…” I started, but she interrupted me respectfully.“Mr. Mark Ronaldo did the hiring, ma’am. I am simply here to start working,” she said.“Oh,” I said, almost speechless. “May I come in?” She requested politely when I didn’t usher her in.“Forgive my manners; of course, you may come in,” I said.And then I ushered her into the living room. “Give me a moment,” I requested.“Of course, ma’am,” Lora responded.I left her and went to the dining table to make a call. Mark w

MARKI found our table easily and slid into the empty seat in front of Vector.“You look upset,” Vector said as he signaled the waiter.“I am upset by a couple of things,” I responded.“What’s wrong?” Vector asked me.“I ran into Donald on my way out. He was on his way in,” I responded tightly. “Was he in here?” I asked even though it was clear that he was.“If he was, I really didn’t see him because I have been engrossed with my phone,” Vector responded.“Does he now come here?” I asked Vector.This was about the third time that I was running into Donald here and it was becoming obvious that he also came here to have a good time.Vector shrugged and said, “It would seem like.”I became more pissed off.“Why on earth should he be coming here? What happened to Dancing Devils? Wasn’t that where he usually went?” I asked Vector.He was one of the reasons I stopped going to that club.When he came back to Paris, Donald made it a point of duty to always visit the club, and I was already ge

MARK“Is there anything else?” I asked Reyna after she was done with what I asked her to do.I glanced at my watch and saw that it was almost time for me to close up for the day.“Nothing more, sir,” she responded, but she didn’t leave.“What is it, Reyna?” I asked her.“I know I shouldn’t be prying, but you have been sulking all day, sir,” Reyna said. “Is anything the matter?” She asked.“No, there isn’t,” I responded.“Are you sure?” Reyna asked more deeply.If she wasn’t very competent, and added to the fact that I knew that she was simply being caring, I might have been upset with her because I didn’t want anyone prodding me like this.“Yes, Reyna, I am sure,” I responded. “Well, what about the chef I asked you to find?” I asked her.Earlier in the day, I had spoken to her about hiring a chef for Alexa because I wanted her to be well fed and taken care of.Thankfully, the doctor was kind enough to give me a list of foods that might help her get better, and with the help of a paid
