ALEXAI stared at the baby items in the room that they had been kept, unable to take my eyes off them.They were all beautiful.I didn’t know how Mark got to know exactly what I wanted, but nothing was missed, and without even checking through their prize tags, I knew that they were very expensive.For three days now, I had been coming right here, standing by the door, and staring at every item.I kept telling myself that it was time to start setting up the baby’s nursery, although not in this particular room, but I really couldn’t bring myself to doing it, and I couldn’t tell why.Maybe it was because each time I stared at the items as though I was seeing them for the very first time, I was reminded that they came from Mark Ronaldo.Shirley and Reyna’s presence helped me understand what Mark had done for me discreetly, and a part of me was grateful to him, but that didn’t mean that I wanted him in my child’s life. From the very moment I was told about the pregnancy, I never wanted h

MARKVector and I drove to Brent’s office because he was too busy to come down to my own office or house, and I didn’t mind.I hadn’t even really been to my company for some days now. The car drive was very silent and I felt as though Vector had something in his chest that he would like to say to me but wasn’t speaking.Since I started driving again, I had been using Cannon Dexter’s services less, but I still retained him just in case.“What is it?” I had to ask Vector because I wasn’t comfortable with the awkward silence, especially as I could feel that Brent had something he wanted to say to me.“Huh?” Vector asked dumbly.“You want to say something, Vector. Since I picked you up I have been having the feeling, so you might as well go ahead and say it,” I explained even though I felt as though Vector already heard and understood my question the first time.“I don’t have anything to say,” Vector lied.“Don’t play this game with me, Vector,” I warned, almost snapping. “If you knew yo

IVYI had been eavesdropping on everything from a perfect corner up the stairs, but as soon as I heard Alex telling her guests to come upstairs, I ran up.How could she have forgotten that the room she asked them to take the items to was just beside mine? Was Alexa trying to get me caught?I knew she didn’t want me here, but I had already pleaded with her. No one should see me. If news ever got out there that I was alive and hiding here, I would be doomed. Donald Shell wouldn’t mind bringing down this entire building just to get me, regardless of the fact that there were three cops out there guiding the building.“So he is threatening her,” I said to myself, shaking my head.Donald Shell seemed to derive joy from making the lives of women he came across a living hell. First, it was Lina Barry, and then me, and now, Alexa Silver.If Alexa’s phone hadn’t fallen and I hadn’t helped her in picking it up even though she never appreciated it, I wouldn’t have seen the text message from Do

ALEXA“This is a whole lot,” I found myself saying.Shirley didn’t respond to me immediately. I was still reeling from the shock and guilt of everything. “Get them into the house, please,” Shirley instructed the driver.The driver nodded and went right to work. He carried every item delicately into my living room and he didn’t stop until he was done.“Is that all?” Shirley asked him.“Yes, it is all,” he responded, and then he waited to be paid.“I will take care of the bill,” I said instantly.Since I didn’t pay for any of the items, the least I could do was sort put the bill, but Shirley beat me to it. As soon as I offered, she was already dipping her hand into her purse.“Don’t worry about it, Miss Alexa,” Shirley said. “Why not? You don’t have to pay for it, Shirley. Please, let me handle it,” I requested, but Shirley shook her head again.“I am not the one paying. Mr. Mark Ronaldo already has everything sorted out,” Shirley told me.That made me speechless again and I didn’t e

ALEXA“Miss Alexa, good day,” Reyna greeted.She stopped at a considerable distance.I could see the remorse in her face and hear it in her voice.The last time I set my eyes on Reyna, she was standing at that podium with Mark Ronaldo when his company was crowned the winner of the fair. That betrayal just wouldn’t go away.“I suppose I should thank you very much for helping Mark get information about me that I never wanted him to,” I found myself saying.Granted, then, Mark saved me because the truth was that I wouldn’t have been able to cover the cost of everything and also pay off clients that withdrew. Without Mark’s intervention, I might have even landed myself in jail, or suffered worse scandal.Still, it didn’t take away the sting of pain and betrayal that I was feeling deep inside.“Can I explain?” Reyna asked me.“I don’t want to hear anything you have to say,” I said angrily.Then I got up.“And since you found your way in, you two could also find your way out,” I added bitt

ALEXA“Why didn’t you tell me any of this?” I asked Shirley, still reeling in the shock of what she just said.All this time when I thought that I was alone and dealing with everything on my own, Mark had been assisting me financially. Now I realized why the doctor had refused to tell me who paid for the autopsy. He made me believe that the hospital took responsibility of the finances.Not that he mentioned it specifically anyway, but I just assumed that that was what had happened, being that he didn’t provide a name.“I didn’t want you to be upset,” Shirley responded.As much as I wanted to counter her response, I didn’t, because I knew that she was right. I was so livid with Mark Ronaldo that I would raised hell if I had known.I was still angry with Mark anyway.“So, that was why you gave him an invitation to my dad’s funeral, right?” I asked Shirley.I was really trying hard not to get upset, but deep down, the rage was already building because as I asked the question, I was remin

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
