ALEXAGina’s reaction made me realize that perhaps, Noelle hadn’t been bluffing all this time. This wasn’t to say that I already believed Noelle, but there had to be something to Gina’s reaction when she heard about the actress, Lina Barry.However, I didn’t want to bother about it, so I left her and went to my store.“Welcome, Miss Alexa,” my secretary greeted. “It feels like you have been away for ages,” she teased.“I feel like I have been away for long too,” I said.The moment I walked in, I felt as though I had walked into my home. This was my business. My home. My hard work. My legacy.Even though my dad’s company had been bequeathed to me, it would never feel like this, and that was because I started this from scratch. I would not be continuing from where anyone stopped, and this made me realize that this was my identity.And I felt immensely proud of it.I had been happy about my business, but right now, I felt deeply proud, and I couldn’t even express it. The feeling was too

IVY“Hey, Ivy, aren’t you going to make a phone call today?” Lady asked me when I passed by her desk from the dining room.Again, I had had to sit through the excruciating section of eating tasteless meals with a room filled with people who were mentally disoriented.It was sickening, and sometimes, I wondered why I hadn’t gone insane already.“No, Lady,” I answered curtly. “Seems you are looking for some money today,” I said, and her eyes widened with bewilderment.She knew that if she was caught by the main officials of the facility for selling out time on her phone to call loved ones and friends, she would be fired and jailed.“Get the hell out of my sight,” Lady retorted with annoyance.“You called first, remember?” I sneered as I walked back to my room.There was no point in calling anymore. Mark wouldn’t listen to me. My mum was already pandering to my greatest enemy, and I really didn’t keep friends when I had the chance to.It was just me, and I had come to that painful realit

ALEXAAfter Eva left, and that was me being satisfied with all the dresses she brought, as usual, I could barely stop thinking about her remark about Gina.The only difference between Eva and Noelle was that she didn’t make the comparison in Gina’s presence. Maybe that would have made Gina to feel uncomfortable.But why was it making her feel uncomfortable?“Do you want some of the cookies I made?” Gina asked me with a free spirit.“Yeah, sure,” I said.Gina brought some and I had a taste, and I couldn’t deny how good it was, so much so that I moaned in delight as it melted on my tongue.Gina giggled.“This tastes like heaven, Gina,” I complimented her, and I meant it.“Thanks, Alexa,” she said. “The fact that you like it means a lot to me,” she added.“Where did you learn to make such delicious cookies?” I asked her.“Um, from my mum,” Gina answered with pride. “She bakes cookies, fruit breads, and even chocolate candies,” she added.I smiled fondly at Gina, and she smiled back.“You

ALEXAWhen I arrived at my apartment, I called Eva.“Are my dresses ready?” I asked her.“Yes, they are, and I was just about to call you,” Eva answered, much to my relief. “Do I bring them to your office?” She asked me.“No, not there,” I quickly responded.“Oh, would you rather pick them up yourself?” Eva asked.“No, I don’t think I want to do that either,” I answered. “Would you be able to bring them to my apartment?” I asked her.“Most definitely, Miss Alexa,” she said.Eva was always so eager and ready to please, and this was all because of my status in the city. She wanted to get close enough, and I didn’t worry about it anyway. She was a businesswoman, and now, I understood that sometimes, acting like that was necessary.Running a business meant compromising, going the extra miles, even licking a few asses, and breaking one’s back, otherwise, it would be nearly impossible to grow the business or grow far. The only reason my business grew this fast and rapid was because of Donal

MARKI didn’t have an answer to Reyna’s question, but then again, there was no going back now. Not like I wanted to anyway.Whatever her reaction might be, I would just wait to see it, and hopefully, it wouldn’t infuriate her so much that she would turn down my request to be her client.After I dropped Reyna off at the company, I knew that there was something else I also needed to sort out.Donald was gradually becoming a nuisance and I wasn’t having it.I called Brent.“Brent, are you fit to have a discussion?” I asked him as soon as the call connected.“Yes, I am,” he answered.“Then I am on my way to you,” I told Brent before ending the call.While I drove over to Brent’s house, I called Vector.“Vector, I need a favor from you,” I said. “How busy are you right now?” I asked him.“Not too busy to help out,” Vector said, sounding as though he was both pleased and surprised that I was asking for help.As a Ronaldo, and being Vector’s close friend for years, he knew that I rarely aske

MARKReyna’s text came in when I was speaking to the doctor with Alexa, so right after I left the hospital, I went to meet Reyna at Mr. Silver’s company.“Am I late?” I asked her the moment I got there.“By twenty minutes,” she said lightly.“I apologize, but it took longer than expected at the hospital with Mr. Silver,” I simply explained.“How is he?” Reyna asked with concern.“He is getting better,” I answered.“And Miss Alexa?” Reyna asked.“What about her?” I asked almost defensively, and I immediately realized that I had acted too much.This was the second time I was acting like this at the mention of Alexa’s name; the first was with Vector, and that was because I always worried that they were seeing right through me and into my heart to know exactly what I was thinking or feeling, and it made me defensive, because I didn’t want anyone to know anything.“Is she okay? How is she holding up?” Reyna asked, still maintaining her composure.Not even one look of suspicion or questioni

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
