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

ALEXAMy heart was beating rapidly. “I can’t breathe, Noelle,” I managed to tell her.My chest was heaving so fast that it was almost impossible to breathe. It was as though the movement in my chest was too fast that my lungs couldn’t take in air.“Hold on, Alexa!” Noelle said.She hastily got out of the car and came over to my side of the car, and then she held my back with one of her hand while she held my chest with the other.“Just breathe, Alexa, slowly…” Noelle urged me calmly.Her hands on me were like magic. It was as though she was steadying the speed in my chest and creating space for my lungs to be able to take in breath.“Gentle, Alexa. Don’t force it. Just take it one breath at a time,” she continued to urge me.I didn’t fight Noelle’s help.Instead, I succumbed to it and even listened to her deeply. Slowly, my rapidly beating heart began to slow down a little.Noelle didn’t let go of me until I was breathing properly.“Gosh, Alexa, you scared me,” Noelle said, sighing w

ALEXANoelle and I had an appointment with Brent three days later.He sent a message that we needed to see at his office, and he included that Clara would be showing up with her lawyer, Grace.“That fast?” I asked Noelle.“I told you he was the best,” Noelle responded.She was driving us there and I nodded. I couldn’t deny that I was impressed, but I didn’t say anything about it to Noelle. However, I had two thoughts bothering my mind.“Do you think he has told Mark about this?” I asked Noelle worriedly.I already told Noelle about running into Mark at Gerald’s company, and she did try to talk me out of feeling a certain way about it or dwelling on it. It had been very difficult not to, but I had had to busy myself with the new idea that Shirley suggested, and that really helped.Noelle and I hadn’t talked about having her back to running my business with me again, and although neither of us had talked about it, we just allowed that part of the conversation to sleep.“I already told

MARKMr. Devon had been nothing short of the devil himself.All this time, and till the very moment that everything got revealed, Sydney Bowman had been working as the company’s accountant.Mr. Devon faked a firing letter, making my dad believe that he was truly fired. Meanwhile, Sydney Bowman had been out there stealing more money for himself and Mr. Devon and using it to build his business.“Would you be willing to come out and testify in court?” I had asked them.Even though they had already confessed to this, I still couldn’t use it against Mr. Devon or Sydney Bowman. They would have to agree to want to publicly testify against him for them to pay for what they had done.They had stared at each other after the question.“We will have to think about it, Mark,” Tom Hardy had been the first to speak.I was a little bit disappointed because I thought that they would jump at the offer.“You all said a while ago that you could not wait to see Devon Charles paying for what he did,” I tri

MARK“When your dad’s business picked up, he needed shareholders,” Tom Hardy explained.I sat there and listened to the men diligently.I had thought that it would only take a few minutes, but what I didn’t realize was that it would take longer than expected.There were so many things that had happened that I wasn’t even aware of, and to think that I had been in the dark for years…“We were working for him at the time, and we came together to form an agreement. Devon Charles was the lawyer, and so technically, he was the one who drafted everything,” he continued.“Your father trusted him way too much that he didn’t go through the legal documents that Devon prepared,” Glazer said.“And I don’t understand why he would trust someone so much that he wouldn’t even go through the document,” I said, shaken with astonishment.Something just kept feeling off.“It was impossible to make your father see differently, Mark,” Gerald said. “As long as it was being handled by Devon Charles, he didn’t

ALEXASeeing Mark Ronaldo after a really long time shook me to the core, more than I even expected.As I walked away from Gerald’s small company, my chest kept beating rapidly. I had thought that I wouldn’t be moved. Heck, I never even imagined that I would have to set my eyes on him again.Seeing him at Mona’s new gift store was hurtful but definitely not this much because I saw him from a distance, but seeing him so closely that if I had just stretched my hand, we would have touched.I had felt his nearness, his presence, his smell, and my entire body had been affected by it, and that made me even more frustrated.“Miss Alexa?” Shirley called.After leaving Gerald’s small company that he ran with his two friends, I had gone to my apartment where I was handling my business for now to meet Shirley so that I could finalize their business deal for the week.I wanted to get it over and done with so that I would be able to concentrate on the case with Clara before they would need my serv

MARKI was almost asking myself what Alexa was doing hanging around Gerald, but then I remembered immediately that she had gotten a contract with them.And Reyna told me a while ago that Alexa only had three clients left.Were they the ones?Alexa had a weak smile on her face as she walked out with Gerald, but the moment her eyes landed on me, the smile vanished.I rose to my feet.“Mark Ronaldo, what a surprise,” Gerald was the first to break the silence.It suddenly seemed as though everything in the world has come to a standstill.“I hope we are not in trouble,” he added.“Um, no, you are,” I managed to respond.Gerald noticed the tension between Alexa and I and he cleared his throat, and that alone was enough to bring us out of whatever daze we were in, or maybe it was just me because when I looked at Alexa, her eyes were full of rage and hatred.But then again, when hasn’t Alexa Silver looked at me that way?“I should be on my way, Gerald,” Alexa told him, her tone ice cold.I kn
