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

MARK“I am not here because of you, Mark, and I have been given right to come here,” Clara said firmly.“Don’t move an inch,” I said to the cops warningly as I brought out my cell phone.They were obviously the ones leading Clara, and they would be the ones to stop her from proceeded further into the funeral, and thankfully, they obeyed.Noelle was still walking towards us, but she wasn’t very close, and so I thought that I could make a quick phone call before she got here.“Pick up, Brent, please,” I pleaded quietly in my head as I dialed Brent’s cell number.It was very important that she picked up so that we could talk right away because I really didn’t understand what was going on here.Thankfully, Brent picked up.“Hey, Mark,” he said as soon as the call connected.“Clara is here, Brent,” I said into the phone without wasting time, and I didn’t brother to bring my voice down so that she wouldn’t hear.I didn’t care.She ought to know now that I knew what she had done and I really

MARK“You are going to regret this, Mark Ronaldo. Don’t ever think that the battle between us is over,” Donald Shell eventually said.If he was trying to threaten me, he didn’t succeed.“I think we now know that you don’t hold anything over me,” I told him confidently and with a smirk.“But I do have something over Alexa, and she will never say it to you, and that in itself, is a loss, Mark. You are going to spend the rest of your life pining for her, but she is not going to want you back or open up to you about what I did to her,” Donald Shell said with a smirk of his own.I was infuriated instantly, but I bottled it inside of me and pretended that I wasn’t moved by it.“I don’t think that’s left for you to bother about, Donald. Just leave,” I told him.He was pained that I wasn’t acting upset and in his head, he thought that he hadn’t succeeded, and that was when I realized that I shouldn’t have ever let Donald Shell know that he had any form of effect over me.With a clenched jaw,

MARK“Do you think it is a good idea to go, considering the restraining order?” Vector asked me as he drove me there.Reyna already gave me her invitation card and I was intentionally going a few minutes later so that I wouldn’t run into Alexa.Also, I chose Vector to drive me there because I just felt better with him in the car right now, so Cannon Dexter could take the rest of the day off. The plan was that Vector would wait for me in the car, and after paying my last respect to Mr. Silver, he would drive me back to my house.“This is my last chance to pay my last respect to the man, Vector,” I answered.“But you already did at the hospital before he passed,” Vector reminded me. “I am just worried about Alexa losing it when she sees you. She will not forgive you if she acts out of character because your presence is triggering,” he hastily added.Vector felt I needed the explanation.“Yes, I thought of that, unfortunately,” I responded painfully.Every time I am being reminded that A

ALEXANoelle and I stepped out and found Nelson waiting beside his car.“I am sorry I didn’t tell you, but Nelson insisted on driving us to the funeral,” Noelle hastily explained when she saw the look of confusion on my face.According to the plan, a hired car was supposed to be here because I didn’t want to drive myself to the funeral, and I wanted Noelle to be seated beside me, so she wouldn’t be able to drive.“But if you don’t want that, we can go back to the original plan and Nelson will just drive to the funeral alone,” Noelle added.“Oh, no, Noelle, I don’t mind, actually,” I said and I meant it. “There is nothing wrong with having someone familiar drive us, but are you going to sit beside me at the back?” I asked her.“Of course, Alexa. I already spoke to Nelson about it and he understands perfectly well,” Noelle answered.“Alright then, I think we should leave now,” I said.We got to the car and Nelson opened the door for us to get in. After he also did, he drove out of the c

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
