Chapter: When Love Falls Into Place!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

Chapter: The Planners Of Love!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

Chapter: A Love Worth HavingVivian’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

Chapter: Fight For Love And ForgivenessSyrus’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

Chapter: Water Under The BridgeVivian’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

Chapter: Finally Set Free!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

Chapter: The GuestsMARKI got to the office with a different feeling. I couldn’t tell if it was anger, and even if it were, I had no idea who it was directed to.Should I be mad at Alexa?“You have done worse to her, Mark, and for five years,” A voice in my head asked me when I got to my company. “You shouldn’t have to be so mad for this little that she does to you,” it added.Little?I was almost going insane.The constant rejection was killing me. Now, Alexa had started treating me with cold shoulders, and she had become a wall that I couldn’t penetrate no matter how hard I tried.What exactly did she want from me?Here I was, thinking that after Noelle was freed, she would open up to me, but I was wrong.Anyway, thank goodness I didn’t get the chance to tell her that I failed before Noelle called. Alexa would have thought that I had nothing to do with it.Gosh, I had wanted her to hug me longer and tighter.“You owe Vector an apology because apparently, it worked,” the same voice told me.I almost gr

Chapter: Not A ClueALEXAMy heart was flooded with relief upon hearing Noelle’s voice. I didn’t even realize how scared and worried I was until she called and told me that she had been freed.We couldn’t talk much over the phone because she was headed home and needed to get some rest, but Noelle promised to get back as soon as she could.Unable to hold myself back, I hugged Mark tightly.“Thank you, Mark,” I told him, and for the first time in a really long time, I was genuinely appreciative of Mark. “I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t stepped in,” I added deeply.Mark and I held onto each other for some seconds before I pulled away slowly. My body was already becoming too comfortable with the warmth from his body, and I needed to pull away.My clit was already feeling some vibrations just having him hold me back and I didn’t want to go back to having Mark in my bed right away.I still hadn’t forgotten what he did to me.“You are welcome,” Mark said.It still felt unreal that Noelle had b

Chapter: FailedMARK“Shit!” I exclaimed in a rage when we left Donald Shell’s presence and drove out of the company.“Mark, you need to calm down,” Vector told me, making me more upset.“What’s there to be calm about?” I asked Vector, almost snapping at him. “We have just gone there and fooled ourselves,” I added painfully.Vector looked at me with surprise.“Why would you say that, Mark?” He asked me.“Isn’t it obvious?” I asked in return. “That voice doesn’t belong to the detective, and that is why Donald Shell wasn’t moved,” I added. “If it truly belonged to him, why didn’t I recognize it myself?” I questioned Vector further.Vector was dumbfounded as he listened to me, but I wasn’t moved by his reaction. I was more concerned with the fact that going to Donald Shell and confronting him had not just been a total waste of time, but also humiliating.Usually, it should have been me humiliating Donald and asking him to get the hell out of my office, but this time around, I had just given him the chan

Chapter: No ReactionMARKDonald Shell’s reaction was very blank. As much as I tried to pay close attention to him, I saw nothing.I glanced at Vector to find out if he caught any reaction without saying a word, but from Vector’s look, he also didn’t get any reaction from him.“What is this?” Donald Shell asked me after the recorded call stopped playing.It was very short, but I ensured that Donald Shell got to listen to it over and over again, but still, nothing. He was even acting as though he merely listened to something unfamiliar.“Don’t you recognize the voice?” I asked Donald.“Am I supposed to recognize it?” Donald Shell asked me in return.I was already getting pissed off, but a part of me was also wondering if Vector hadn’t made a mistake. If that was truly Donald’s cousin, there ought to have been something, especially as it wasn’t expected.Yet, nothing.Donald Shell couldn’t be that good of an actor, could he?“That’s your cousin, Detective Kent,” Vector responded impatiently.Apparently, he

Chapter: Something DifferentMARKFinding where Donald Shell was didn’t cost Vector and I anything. However, I was pained that I had to go and see him in Mr. Silver’s company; the very one he stole from Alexa.I drove in without being stopped or checked, and I noticed that Donald Shell had changed the securities.“He changed the securities but didn’t even have the decency to hire efficient ones,” I said with a scoff.Usually, being that they hadn’t seen me here before, they were supposed to ask questions, or better still, confirm from Donald Shell, their boss, before letting me in. What if I came to harm Donald Shell?“Bunch of fools,” I added painfully.Maybe they didn’t deserve my insults and anger this much, but then again, being here, knowing that Alexa was supposed to be the one running the company just made me really upset.If Alexa had simply listened to her dad and me, this wouldn’t have happened. It was just so unfortunate that she had to lose her inheritance and the only legacy Mr. Silver would have lef

Chapter: The ProofMARK“Are you sure of what you just said, Vector?” I asked Vector.“I have been thinking about it since I heard his voice, and yes, he is the owner of that voice,” Vector said.But still, I doubted him.“Vector, you do know that if you are wrong, it is going to be messier, right?” I asked Vector further. “Being wrong is going to cost me everything,” I added.Vector stared into my eyes with confidence and said, “Mark, I am sure.”There was still doubt in my bones because this was Donald Shell’s brother, and a detective as well. If anything went wrong, I would go in for it. Vector didn’t have much to lose as I did.Also, Donald Shell was my sworn enemy.If this came out to be a false allegation, Donald Shell would have an opportunity to attack me all over again. For now, I did have the upper hand, and I didn’t want to give it to him any time soon. He was a devil.“What if it turns out that you were mistaken?” I asked Vector. “When we were dealing with the case of Oscar, I heard his voic
