ALEXAI found myself in a lush greenery, surrounded by peace and tranquility, and I knew instantly that I was dreaming.It was so beautiful and peaceful that I immediately wanted to remain here forever because it was a sharp contrast to my harsh and ugly reality.Then as I looked around, allowing myself to enjoy the atmosphere and soaking in the peace and warmth that it gave, I caught sight of my dad walking towards me.“Dad, is that you?” I asked him.The closer he got, the clearer he became to me.His eyes were warm and he had a small smile playing on his lips.“Did you come to see me?” He asked me.He got close enough to me and even held me hand, and I sighed with deep contentment, grateful to be here with him.Even though I knew that this was a dream, I still couldn’t understand what was going on. I knew that my dad was dead; I had just concluded his funeral…well, partially, but then again, I couldn’t fully comprehend what it was that I was doing here.But I loved it so much, and

IVYAfter the interrogation where I mentioned Lina Barry’s name, she was also summoned by the officials for questioning.Worse, I didn’t get the chance to speak to Lina Barry about it before she was called, and my fear was that she would not give them a response that would save me.Since then, I hadn’t really seen Lina Barry, and today, I was called again to their office for their final conclusion, and my mind went back to beating rapidly because this could literally be the very end of me.“Ivy Silver, we have spoken to the witness you mentioned,” the first official said.They were both staring at me deeply, but their eyes gave nothing away, so I really couldn’t tell if they had found me guilty.I had no idea what Lina Barry said to them.“We should have called you sooner, but we have been busy trying to put everything in order. What happened here is a serious matter,” he continued deeply. “It could be a murder, being that she had no business being in the laundry room, but then again,

MARK“I should leave now, Mark,” Vector said.After driving me back, he stayed for about an hour, and we had drinks together, but I still felt sour and dejected.Vector tried to cheer me up, but it just wasn’t working. Ever since I made the statement about everything being finally over, my heart had been aching and my life seemed sour in general. I tried to feel better, but nothing was working, not even the drinks.“Oh, alright,” I simply said dully.“Will you be fine or do you want me to stay here with you?” Vector asked with deep concern.“I am not a child, Vector. Do whatever you want,” I responded to him.A part of me was conscious of the fact that right now, Mr. Silver’s funeral reception would be ongoing at his living room right now; it was in the invitation, but I wasn’t there because Alexa had chosen to shut me out.Because of her, I had had to pay my respect from afar and leave before that was even over.How was that any fair to me?She didn’t even consider the fact that Mr.

ALEXA“I cannot believe that Mark had the audacity to show up there, and with his mistress!” I barked angrily as soon as we got into the living room.According to the plans made, we were supposed to have a little funeral reception right here in my dad’s living room, just as it was when my mum passed, but I was just too livid right now to be thinking about that, or for my eyes to even see the decorations that had been done in the living room while we were at the funeral home.“Alexa, please, calm down,” Noelle pleaded calmly.I whirled around and faced her squarely, unleashing my anger on her.“Don’t ask me to calm down, Noelle!” I lashed out, my voice nearly crashing down the entire house.“Guests are already arriving here, Alexa. They followed us from the funeral home as we asked them to, and it wouldn’t be nice to see you like this,” she told me, trying hard to get me to see reasons why I ought to calm down, but it just wasn’t working.“I don’t care, Noelle, I don’t!” I declared wit

MARKMr. Silver had just been laid to rest, but somehow, I still hadn’t set eyes on Mona. I couldn’t tell where she had gone; if she left eventually.“I really hope she does,” I murmured to myself.She had to leave because she didn’t know anyone here, and coming here was a silly mistake on her part.Now that the major part of the funeral was over, I would really need to leave because Alexa could turn and set eyes on me and I didn’t want that.I already saw how broken she was even though I didn’t see her face, and the last thing I wanted was to make things worse for her, so quietly, and as planned, I slipped out.At least, I had succeeded in protecting her from people like Donald Shell and Clara. Gosh, I couldn’t even begin to imagine what must have happened or how she must have reacted if she had set eyes on them.“I cannot even believe that she left people like Donald and Clara and placed a restraining order on me instead,” I said to myself, slightly begrudged.Vector was waiting for

ALEXA“Give me a second, Alexa. I need to get something sorted out really quickly,” Noelle had said.That was some minutes ago.“What is it?” I had asked her.“You don’t have to worry about it. I just need you to concentrate on your dad’s funeral and I will be right back,” she had said.We were both whispering to each other because the priest was speaking at that point and everyone was paying rapt attention. There were only a few attendees anyway.“But you know I need you beside me,” I had told her, wondering what on earth she could possible want to sort out.“I know, and I will be right back, but this is very important. I need you to trust me, Alexa,” Noelle had urged.“Alright then, fine,” I had succumbed.I needed to pay attention to what was going on in front of me anyway, so there wasn’t time to keep going back and forth with Noelle. Besides, I also needed to trust her. She had been with me all this time.“But I need you to make me a promise,” she had said before leaving.“What i

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
