Chapter: Drifting ApartALEXA’S POVDespite the altercation we had this morning, Mark still spoke to the cops about this?I couldn’t deny my surprise, but other than that, I could barely understand how this made me feel. I didn’t stop them from doing their job. It wasn’t something I had thought about, but seeing that Mark had been thoughtful enough to do it for me, I wouldn’t decline.I also wanted to feel safe.When I arrived at my company, I went into my office and began to sort through the designs for the day.My secretary knocked and entered a few minutes later.“Do you want something?” I asked her.Noelle wasn’t here; I checked her office the moment I got in, but I was hoping that Stacy Bandwit wouldn’t pull through with her threat any time soon.I had thought of reaching out to her, just to inform her that I hadn’t been able to get in touch with Noelle, so as to pacify her, but I changed my mind…for now.“I wanted to inform you that Miss Noelle is back from her short trip,” my secretary told me, soundi

Chapter: Full AccessALEXA“His pant has to be somewhere around,” I said as I looked around.My eyes found it; it was right on my car seat, but the fear of what happened last night had prevented me from even thinking about it.I remembered to grab my purse, but I didn’t remember to also take the pant.“Ugh!” I exclaimed in exasperation. “Now, I will have to see him again,” I mused.Mark could have kept me elsewhere, or even left me in the living room, but instead, he had taken me to the same room, and the same bed that held all the painful and ugly memories for me.Maybe he even had sex with Ivy on that same bed too; I couldn’t tell. Besides, they were engaged again before everything went south.When I saw that the thought was beginning to rile me up, I took in several deep breaths.“In and out, Alexa. You have already had a rough night, and an even rougher morning. Don’t let him take up more of your emotions,” I said to myself.Fortunately, I had just gotten to my apartment.I stopped the car, took the p

Chapter: The RoomALEXAI opened my eyes slowly, and the first thing I did was to look around, and almost immediately, I realized where I was.The bedroom.I sat up, wedging my weight on my elbows as I continued to look around.Familiarity settled in my chest, and pain overshadowed me.All the neglect, abandonment, lack of love, emotion, care, and sexual starvation came rushing back to me. Since the day I walked out on the marriage and declared to Mark Ronaldo that it was over, right after Ivy had sent me a video of Mark having sex with another woman, and after five years of nursing him back to health and being in a loveless marriage, I hadn’t been in this room.I sprung out of the bed.It was as though I had just realized that there was a burning fire on the bed, and I couldn’t take it. Then, I began to look around for my purse so that I could leave, but the door opened. I jerked in fright, but it was just the chef.“Good morning, Miss Alexa,” she greeted me with such smile and familiarity that I alm

Chapter: The Most Important Thing To MeMARKAlexa sobbed, and I allowed her to. She was so fragile and vulnerable at this very moment, and I allowed her to stay in my arms.“Did you catch the plate number?” I asked her carefully.“That was the last thing on my mind,” she responded through tears.“Alright, that’s okay,” I said, patting her back gently.When I noticed that she had stopped sobbing, I began to think of what next to do. This came as a surprise to me, and I didn’t want to do or say something that would trigger Alexa, or make her upset because I knew that once she got upset, she would turn right back and walk out.“Would you like me to get you something?” I asked her.I hardly knew my way around the kitchen, and I wouldn’t want what happened the last time to happen again, so I already made up my mind that whatever Alexa desired, I would have to wake the chef up to make it for her.But Alexa shook her head.“I just want to lie down. My head hurts,” Alexa responded.“Did you hit your head somewhere?” I asked her w

Chapter: A Surprise Visit MARKWhen I heard the loud honking, I thought that Vector had returned.“Didn’t he just leave some minutes ago?” I asked myself as I got out of bed.Without bothering to throw on a shirt, I came downstairs with just my pajama pants. The honking was so loud and disturbing that I changed my mind about it being Vector; he certainly couldn’t be honking like that, and my security guard would have opened for him almost immediately.“Who the hell is that?” I asked myself, becoming a little worried.The next person that came to mind was Mona; maybe Mr. Devon had started to threaten her again or something went wrong, but then again, she had never shown up at my house like this. Then I got a call from my security guard.“What the heck is going on?” I asked him.This was an elite and serene neighborhood, and any moment from now, my neighbors might begin to alert the cops on an account of disturbances and disruption, and I didn’t want that, especially as I had never had to get reported by anyon

Chapter: Black CarALEXAShivers ran down my spine at the realization that someone had been watching me. I began to tremble with fear.I knew that it had to be my apartment because as soon as I came out, the person zoomed off.I might have been able to see who it was if it hadn’t been a tinted car, and it wasn’t a familiar car either.I thought of hurrying back into my apartment and shutting the door, but I was too shaken to even do that. What if the person returned?For the life of me, I couldn’t think of anyone who would want to hurt or harm me.I hurried into my car and drove out of my garage, heading for Mark’s house.I was going there anyway.I thought of calling Donald, because he was the one I just finished speaking to, but a bigger part of me knew that he wasn’t the one I wanted around me right now.Mark Ronaldo was the only person I could think of, which was ironic, considering what had happened between us in the last couple of days, or maybe it was because I was already going to his house to d

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.

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
