ALEXA“Do you need some more?” Lona asked me when she saw that I was done eating another round of breakfast even before it was noon.I always finished my food and she always asked the same question.“No, Lona, I am full for now,” I told her.Actually, I would literally burst open if I took anything in for now, but knowing how much the pregnancy made me eat, I didn’t doubt that I would be hungry again in an hour.I couldn’t be more grateful for the presence of Lona. I would never have been able to handle cooking on my own no matter how much I loved doing it.Heck, I never even realized that being pregnant could be this exhausting. The more the months went by, the worse it became. I could barely wait to have my baby so that I wouldn’t have to continue dealing with this.I looked up and caught Lona smiling.“What?” I asked her lightly.“It seems to me that you are worried about your eating habit lately,” she said.I rolled my eyes and said, “I eat like a freaking baboon and I feel round

IVYNow that Lina Barry and I had a mutual understanding on things, we were already beginning to make plans, and I ensured that Lina Barry knew that I was the mastermind behind everything.She didn’t have a choice but to follow my lead.Thankfully, Jack gave us all the privacy we needed.He rarely stayed in the cabin unless he wanted to cook something or even eat. Other than that, he stayed away, and that gave room for Lina and I to have lengthy conversations, like this morning.“What am I supposed to do?” Lina Barry asked me.“I need you to go to Donald Shell,” I stated.Lina Barry’s eyes budged out as though their sockets would fall off. She thought that I had said the most outrageous thing, but I didn’t stutter when I said it. I meant every word of it.“Yes, Lina,” I insisted.“Are you insane?” Lina Barry asked me.I wasn’t upset because I expected her reaction anyway.“No, I am not,” I simply responded.“That man sent me away for nearly ten years, Ivy. He never wanted me to come o

MARK“Brent,” I said in one full breath, as though Brent’s presence had taken away every problem I was dealing with.“Mark Ronaldo, happy New Year,” Brent said.Vector took his seat leisurely; he never needed me to tell him to sit down anyway.I stood up and exchanged a firm handshake with Brent.“Sit down, please,” I said, still reeling in the relief of seeing Brent.His presence might not make my problems disappear, but now, I knew that I would have some legal solutions to most of them.Brent and I sat down at the same time.“You took forever to come back to Paris,” I told him.“I needed to spend a lot of time with my family,” Brent said lightly. “And from all indications, it seems that you have not been able to get yourself out of trouble, Mark,” he added, cocking one of his eyebrows.I sighed dejectedly.“They chase me everywhere I go,” I responded wistfully.“I filled him in on our way here about everything that has been going on,” Vector chipped in.He knew that I wouldn’t be up

MARKThere was nothing I could have said to Alexa that would have made her change the way she was already feeling, not even forcing her into reading the full text message.“Mr. Mark, it’s the lady from the airport who spent the night in your bedroom as your server. My name is Gina, Lina Barry’s sister. You asked me to reach out and I am doing so. Call me when you get this message, and thank you for that night.”That was the full message, and now, Alexa had gotten another impression about me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t clear it this time around.She wanted me to leave so badly that I wouldn’t have been able to force myself into staying.I didn’t call Gina until I was being driven to my company. I had gotten back to my house, changed into something else, and begun my way to the office to get some work done, and Cannon Dexter was driving me.“Good morning, Mr. Mark,” Gina greeted me as soon as the call connected.“Good morning,” I responded, trying not to sound gruff.The truth was that I

MARKI hurried downstairs to get Alexa the water she asked for, but I was also determined to have the conversation.Hopefully, Alexa saw that in my eyes and the sound of my voice too.“Good morning, Mr. Mark,” Lona greeted me as though I didn’t just leave her here some minutes ago.Lona had been my saving grace.When I went to her, she hadn’t hesitated in coming out to help me.“I was going to come out and begin for the day anyway, and besides, you are also my boss,” Lona had told me when I had wanted to apologize for inconveniencing her.The truth was that I knew that I had every right to ask that from Lona, but then again, getting the pancakes done for Alexa was worth more than my pride, and if Lona refused, it would be to my own loss.So, I had found myself apologizing, which wasn’t even something that I was used to doing...all thanks to Alexa.“Did Mrs. Alexa like the pancakes?” Lona asked me.“Yes, she did, Lona. Thank you,” I told her.Lona smiled briefly as she nodded.“Is ther

ALEXALeaving Mark Ronaldo in the kitchen, knowing that he didn’t know what to do with himself there was very risky, especially with how famished I was, but I let him anyway. Maybe it was because of how persistent he was.In all honesty, I really couldn’t state the exact reason why I had done what I did, but waiting now seemed like a major mistake when I could have just done it myself. Hopefully, I wouldn’t be able to take myself back downstairs after ten minutes.However, much to my surprise, the door opened before it was exactly ten minutes and Mark walked in, carrying a tray of pancakes.“Here it is,” Mark said.I said nothing.He brought the tray closer to me and placed them right in front of me. I stared at the pancakes and they looked like something that a professional had made.“Mark, you prepared these?” I asked, unable to help myself.“Yes, I did,” Mark responded.His response was so swift and confident that it left no room for doubts, but still...Lona was still sleeping by

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
