ALEXA“Look what you have…” I started to berate Dina, who had the decency to stop and help the person she had knocked to the ground, but I stopped when I saw who it was.I stood there, shell-shocked…unable to move and breathe.“I am so sorry, ma’am,” Dina apologized.I had thought that Dina would continue making her way out of the house, and even though she had succeeded, she would have been held back by the time she got to the gate, but she didn’t. Instead, she stopped to pick up the guest who had fallen on the floor.“Weren’t you looking, and what the heck is going on here?” She asked, obviously and rightly upset from being knocked down like that. “I could have broken a bone,” she lamented further.“I am sorry,” Dina apologized again. Then she cleared her throat and said, “I will just be in the kitchen.”She wasn’t looking at me when she said that, but she was referring to me.She turned and made her way to the kitchen, and I didn’t stop her. Suddenly, I wasn’t bothered about what

ALEXAToday being a new day, I decided to concentrate on spending time in the attic and getting rid of old and useless things.I just wanted to get my mind off two disturbing things; the harsh reality that hit after Donald Shell announced to the public of the new name he had changed the company to.Everything that had happened in the last couple of days had happened so fast that it still felt like a dream. I wasn’t doing anything about it, like fighting Donald Shell; I couldn’t anyway, but then, a tiny part of me just kept thinking that I would wake up one morning and everything would turn out to be a bad dream or a silly prank.But the information made me realize yet again that it was real.I had lost my dad’s company forever.“Forgive me, dad. Forgive me, mum,” I had pleaded and sobbed all night, even down till the early hours of this morning.It had been about three days since the news, and every time I thought about it, it still felt like it was just announced a few minutes ago, m

MARK“May I come in?” Reyna asked after knocking.“Of course, Reyna, you can,” I responded and Reyna walked into my office.“Is there something you need?” I asked her.“Not exactly, Mr. Mark, I only wanted to tell you that the payment has been successfully made and every man who sought a refund had gotten their monies back,” she said.I wasn’t surprised.“Didn’t you give me this information after it was done yesterday?” I asked her.“Yes, I did, but I didn’t also add that Miss Alexa will not be getting any lawsuit all because of you,” she said.Reyna was smiling and that made me slightly uncomfortable.“Did you remember to inform her secretary that it must be done anonymously?” I asked.That was what mattered to me more right now.“Yes, sir,” Reyna answered.“That’s good, because I don’t want Alexa to even have an idea that I know about what is going on with her business, much more, trying to help. You already know that she is as stubborn as can be,” I added.“Yes, Mr. Mark, I underst

ALEXADonald Shell’s cold condolence disturbed me for the entire night, and it got worse when I had yet another nightmare about him.I woke up panting and sweating.“How long is this going to keep happening to me?” I asked myself dejectedly.The whole thing was taking its toll on me, and unfortunately, Donald Shell’s taunting had followed me all the way here.And then I realized that I was very famished.“Not again, ugh!” I lamented as I fell back into bed.I really wish that my body could become numb to all the sorrow, pain, and hunger. That way, I might be able to live like every other normal human being because it just felt as though I was the only one going through a difficult time in the whole of Paris.The hunger in my stomach wouldn’t back down, and eventually, I knew I had to rise up and go find myself something to eat in the kitchen.It wasn’t exactly dawn yet, but the good thing was that I could cook. Serving Mark Ronaldo and nursing him back to health for five years had bu

ALEXA“Good morning, ma’am,” one of the housekeepers greeted me.She knocked and I let her into my bedroom.“I brought coffee,” she said.“Don’t worry about it. I am not in the mood for coffee, and if I want some, I will make it myself,” I responded.“Oh, alright,” she responded.She turned to leave, but then I recalled something.“Are you the one mostly cooking here?” I asked her.Clara mostly replaced the workers, so after I left the house, she did a whole lot of replacements, making it difficult for me to keep track of who was what in the house, especially since I stayed away. Most of the staff members didn’t even really know who I was.“Yes, ma’am, especially since the chef was fired,” she answered.“Why was the chef fired? What did she do?” I asked.“Um, I don’t know. It was Mrs. Clara who fired her,” she responded.Of course, Clara wouldn’t need to explain to anyone, especially a domestic staff member, as to why she fired someone she employed.I never thought of it, but right no

MARKI arrived at court in time for the trail, but Vector called me just before I got in.“Mark, how is it going?” He asked me as soon as I picked up.“About to begin,” I responded.“Oh, okay. I really wish I was there physically to throw in my support, Mark,” Vector said deeply.I didn’t doubt him.More than anyone else, Vector had been a pillar of support even in ways that I never thought possible.“I believe you, Vector, but you don’t need to worry,” I said even though deep down, I couldn’t shake off the worry that was creeping into my heart.“Have you set eyes on Devon Charles yet?” Vector asked me.“I will have to get into court before I do that, right?” I asked rhetorically.“Right,” Vector chose to respond. “Although, Brent told me a while ago that he has been trying to appeal to the court to get bailed, but he has been declined on all occasions,” I told Vector.“He wants to handle this out of prison?” Vector asked.“Yes, but Brent isn’t going to let that happen,” I responded.

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
