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

MARK“Why would you even think of something like that?” I asked Vector, utterly stupefied by his question.“Why wouldn’t you even think of something like that, Mark? You don’t think it’s a possibility?” He asked me.“No, I don’t think it is, and like I said before, it was just a brief kiss on the lips that didn’t mean anything,” I responded. “And in case you have forgotten, this happened years ago. Noelle doesn’t have any feelings for me, and she certainly didn’t come to my house because of a damn kiss or to confess any feelings,” I added with annoyance.We were getting close to the courthouse now and my anxiety was increasing, which was adding to the anger and confusion I was already feeling.“I was just trying to think of a reason,” Vector said calmly.“So now that that is out of the way, what could her reason possibly be?” I asked again. “I just can’t think of a reason why she would have come,” I added.“Have you tried reaching her?” Vector asked me.“I don’t have her cell number,”

MARKThe memory with Noelle, which we had both sworn to bury forever, made me more confused as to why she would ever come to my house.Getting together with Alexa made her more hostile.Poor Alexa didn’t know that the major reason Noelle was fiercely against our marriage and the love that she had for me was because of what happened between us several years ago. We swore never to say it to anyone, and I was certain that we had both kept the promise.But now…“Mark, are you even still here at all?” Vector called, drawing my attention back to the present.“Yes, I am,” I lied and Vector knew almost immediately that I had lied.“I was saying that we both know that Noelle left because she saw Mona in your house, and I recall that I have actually talked to you about having her around,” Vector said carefully.“Are you berating me right now?” I asked even though that was exactly what he was doing.“No, Mark,” he lied. “I am merely pointing out why Noelle turned and left before you could even c

MARKI tried to get in touch with Noelle Vasquez after that day, but there was no way to reach her, and I didn’t know if I should have tried harder.“Miss Alexa is fine, sir,” Reyna had told me when I had asked because I was deeply worried that something might have happened to Alexa.What other reason would Noelle show up at my house?“Shirley assured me that she was feeling very good, aside from the tiredness that occasionally overwhelmed her, which is normal because she has started planning her father’s funeral in full,” she had added.That was a relief, but still, I couldn’t stop worrying and wondering, so much so that it continued to plague me even on my way to the court.Vector was sitting at the back of my car with me.“Are you still bothered about Noelle’s unexpected visit?” Vector asked when he noticed how bothered I was.“Of course, Vector,” I responded without even bothering to mask it. “Noelle hates me, Vector. I have met many people who don’t like me, but she cannot even s

ALEXA“Why would we need to speak with her again?” I asked Brent, my heart beating already.“Like I said, I got in contact with the nurse, and she did say that even after she was asked not to go anywhere close to your dad, she still found her way to him,” he explained.I became confused.“I don’t understand this,” I admitted. “My dad knew what was at stake. He was aware that she might have been trying something fishy. He even filed for a divorce because he stopped trusting her,” I added. “So, why would he still allow Clara to come anywhere close to him?” I asked.It was as though I expected Brent to have answers to questions that I didn’t have.“Clara didn’t make the moves directly,” Brent said. “She knew that she wouldn’t stand a chance if she did,” he added.“So how did she go about it?” I asked.“The housekeeper, Dina,” Brent revealed.I gasped in shock.“Are you sure?” I asked him carefully even though I had already believed what he just told me.“That’s what she said,” Brent said

ALEXAI got out of the shower and proceeded to get dressed because Noelle and I were going to see Brent almost immediately, but I felt my head spinning, and if I didn’t grab the wall beside me instantly, I would have fallen to the ground.Thankfully, Noelle chose that moment to walk into the bedroom.“Alexa, oh my gosh, what’s wrong?” She asked me as she rushed to me.“Could you help me to the bed?” I requested.“Of course,” she said.And then she helped me get to the bed. I sat down, thinking that I would feel better, but I could literally feel the entire room turning upside down. Something was happening inside my head that I really couldn’t explain.“I think you should lie down,” Noelle suggested.She didn’t even give me the chance to protest or not. The moment she said that, she simply urged me into a lying position, albeit gently.“Do you need water?” She asked me.“No, Noelle, I am not thirsty,” I responded.“What about some painkillers?” She offered.“I don’t have a headache,”

MARKI arrived home later than usual because work has been very hectic and I was also thinking about the final court verdict, which was just two days away now.The closer the day drew, the more nervous and worried I became.Reyna had to leave before me because she was meeting up with Shirley, Alexa’s secretary, so that she would fill Reyna in on the funeral preparations. As long as Alexa hadn’t expressly said I couldn’t come, I would not miss it for anything in the world, only that I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere close to her.Thankfully, the verdict would have been made, regardless of whatever outcome it was, and I wouldn’t have to worry about going anywhere close to Alexa.“What a day,” I muttered to myself.I couldn’t exactly tell if I was feeling this way because of how hectic my dad had been or the fact that I couldn’t stop thinking about Alexa Silver and how desperately I wanted to see her again.“Hi, Mark,” Mona greeted.I stopped in utter shock.There she was, right in the m
