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: Not TodayMARKThe fair was almost in full swing now and I was feeling better about it. “This is the first time I am attending a fair, Mark,” Mona told me.Since we arrived about thirty minutes ago, she had been clinging to my side, not wanting to let go, and because I understood that she was new to this because she had spent almost all her life in Toronto, I didn’t say anything about her clinginess.Mona had spent the night with me. We had had sex. This morning, we both got dressed and came here together.My team was already making sure everything was in place so I could actually enjoy the fair, and I was allowing myself to.“Do you like what you see?” I asked Mona even though I could already guess the answer.“Yes, I do!” Mona said. “And I think I am going to have some fun!” She added.“I believe so too,” I said.Soon enough, other people started arriving. I knew that in no time, the whole place would be crowded by most of Paris, but it would be fun and beautiful; I didn’t have any doubts ab

Chapter: FearsALEXAThe D-day was here!“How do you feel already?” Noelle asked me as we got prepared to leave for the event. Shirley was assisting the handymen to get everything ready into the van we would be using for transportation.“Do you want the honest truth or just an answer?” I asked Noelle.“Of course, the honest truth,” Noelle answered.“I am nervous,” I admitted.Noelle came closer to me and held my hands in hers.“I am not going to ask you not to be because it is normal to feel that way, Alexa. Today is a very big day,” Noelle said deeply. “What I don’t want you to do is worry your head about how it is going to go,” she added, as though she could ready my thoughts.“I am worried too, Noelle,” I revealed.“Everything is going to be fine,” Noelle tried to assure me.“And what if it doesn’t?” I asked her.I couldn’t stop thinking of the possibility of that. For a while now, things hadn’t been going on well for me. It was almost impossible for me to be optimistic with all that had been h

There was never a time that we were cool with each other, but hearing that Ivy was dead shook me more than I ever thought.I didn’t like Ivy, but I never would have wanted her dead.And then the more important issue that was giving me sleepless nights as the cost of travelling and getting stuff for my baby.The fact that I couldn’t afford them broke my heart.Everything was so bad now financially.As I got closer to the kitchen, I heard Noelle’s voice; she was obviously talking to someone on the phone, and my first instinct was that she was communicating with Nelson. They talked often.I smiled.Now, I wasn’t overly jealous of t

Chapter: The EveMARK“After going through everything, I can now conclusively say that we are ready for the fair,” I said to the entire team that had been working on the project for weeks.They were all relieved.It had been a hectic couple of days. Everyone was stretched to their limit, but they knew what lay ahead already. In my company and at a time like this, they already knew what to expect.“Tomorrow is the fair, as we all know,” I added. “We are all supposed to bring our A-game into this. There will not be an award or crowning of any company, but we all know and understand what this means,” continued.They nodded in agreement.“We are all going to close now. You are advised to go home, have a good rest, and prepare for a great day tomorrow, and if this goes well, every one of you is definitely getting a raise,” I told them.They were pleased to hear that and I meant it.“That will be all for now,” I finished.“Thank you, Mr. Mark,” some of them said.“Have a great night, Mr. Mark Ronaldo,” othe

Chapter: Another Betrayal?IVYI became frantic instantly.My first thought was to flee, but when I looked around, there wasn’t anywhere else I could flee to. I couldn’t even make use of the window.Truly, I felt better and rested, so I did have some strength to run away, but how do I get out?It would have to be the front door through the living room and I really couldn’t get through because Lena and Lionel were right there.My heart began to pound so fast that I feared they would hear the sound of it.“Gosh, how sick of me to have trusted her!” I said in my mind. She was a stranger who had, for some reasons, barged into the apartment that Lionel had rented, and without thinking, I had poured out my heart to her and even followed her all the way to hers. “I can’t believe I have fallen for another foul play,” I lamented tearfully.My life had to be some form of a joke at this point.I swallowed hard.I could see my life flashing right before my eyes.“Why are you here?” Lena asked Lionel, her voice harsh and
