MARKBrent and I spent most of the day in the station as he tried to make a lawsuit against Mr. Devon. He was right about my secretary being caught. She didn’t even go very far enough.She was caught trying to flee the city.“Please, Mr. Mark, it wasn’t intentional,” she pleaded.She knew that she didn’t have a lawyer to get her out of this situation, and so the fear in her was palpable.“Mr. Devon lured me into it,” she continued to plead.“He didn’t force you into it, and you could have turned him down, but you were too greedy, despite the fact that I paid you well enough,” I told her.“At first, I thought it was just an affair, but much later, he started talking about taking over your company,” she confessed.I would have been shocked if I hadn’t heard this same confession from Mona, and this only went on to mean that Mr. Devon had just one pattern; lure them in with an affair that was mingled with money, gifts, and whatever things he provided for them, and when he had roped them

ALEXAThe news had gone viral. Indeed, rumors spread faster than wildfire, and in the space of a few hours, most of our clients, especially the high-profile ones had called to withdraw their contract.“I am certain that by the end of the day, we would have no other client,” I lamented wistfully.It was even worse because I would have to refund those who already paid for the job to be done.“Please, ma’am, don’t be pessimistic,” Shirley said.“The earlier I begin to count my losses, the less painful it would be for me,” I responded.That wasn’t true, but right now, my heart was still too heartbroken to process anything. Donald Shell wasn’t bluffing when he said that he could make everything about me crumble, and it was happening right in front of my eyes.I was tired of crying. I couldn’t think of anything to do that would make my predicament better, and as I stared at all the outfits in my living room, I just felt completely broken and worthless.This wasn’t the excitement I had whe

ALEXAA knock on the door woke me up.“Ugh!” I grumbled drowsily.I had difficulty sleeping last night, and that was because I was scared of Donald Shell. Even the cop being outside and watching over my apartment wasn’t enough for me.I felt like he would walk into my apartment and do what he didn’t get to do in my house, and at a point in the middle of the night, after tossing and turning with a thumping heart, I realized one regret.I should have let Mark stay the night again.I didn’t fall asleep until very early this morning, and even right now, the fear was still inside of me.The knock sounded again.“I am coming,” I said. “Who could it be?” I asked myself.I got out of bed and proceeded to go and check who was at the door, but my phone beeped, and another message from Donald Shell popped up.“I will always be around like a shadow you can’t get rid of, Alexa Silver. Don’t forget that I know how to get to the one person you love the most, and of course, I have what it takes to br

MARKI arrived at the restaurant where Vector was supposed to show up with Clinton Jonas.It was a different restaurant, and because it was a little closer to where I was as at the time Vector and I made the agreement, I got there first.And then I called Vector.“Hey, Vector, I am here already,” I told him.“Oh, that’s good,” he said.“Where are you?” I asked him.“I have a slight delay with Clinton, but we should join you in about thirty minutes,” Vector responded.I wasn’t so pleased to hear that. I was so desperate that I wanted everything to happen almost immediately. After my conversation, or altercation with Alexa, I just knew that I couldn’t let Donald Shell go scot free for what he did. If he hadn’t done what he did, Alexa wouldn’t be this broken.She had always been upset with me, and pushing me away with every chance she got, but this time around, she was sad and broken, and it broke me to see her like that. I might not have done much for Alexa, but I was willing to go ou

MARKI spent almost an hour trying to figure out where Alexa could have gone. The building had been sealed and locked, and it was obvious that she was able to get her things out before that happened, otherwise, it would have turned out scandalous for her.I had Vector check around the city to see if she was able to get a quick store to move her things into; that was the least he could do after not trying every means possible to get to me.Although, I couldn’t tell how I would have handled the entire situation if Vector had decided to show up at my company to give me the information himself.Then I had called Reyna.“Is Alexa at the company?” I had asked her.“No, sir, she hasn’t come in today,” Reyna had answered.“Are you sure?” I had asked.I didn’t want to ask if Alexa brought her things to her father’s company, so that Reyna wouldn’t suspect anything because I was certain that Alexa didn’t want anyone knowing about it for now.“I am sure, Mr. Mark,” she had responded. “Is everyth

ALEXA“You can go for the day,” I told my secretary after we were done with everything we needed to do.“Are you sure, ma’am?” She asked. “I could stay back and help in arranging the orders of our clients again,” she offered.After packing and rearranging, the orders had been mixed up, but that wasn’t something that I couldn’t do. Besides, I even needed to do something that would keep my body and mind busy.Also, Gina was here, and I just felt like we haven’t been able to have any form of deep conversation because of her presence.“I can handle that, Shirley,” I told her.Shirley hesitated a little longer.“But if you need me to do anything, you can always call me,” she said.“I will,” I told her. “And thank you for today, Shirley,” I appreciated her, and I meant every single word of what I just said.I really didn’t know what I could have done without her, and she was more than efficient to me.“You are my boss, and I love my job,” Shirley said lightly.“But you should go home and re

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
