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 MessIVY“Hey, you,” she called with a sneer.It was the bitter nurse again, but I was almost getting used to her nasty attitude.It was time for my doctor’s appointment, and I was ready and eager…so eager that I was finding it hard to even act like I wasn’t.Thankfully, Lina Barry hadn’t been to my room for about two days now, and I hadn’t been to hers, otherwise she would have bombarded me with questions as to why I seemed eager and excitement to go for my appointment.Everyone here, including the really insane ones, hated that time of the week, and so it would become suspicious if Lina Barry or anyone else realized that I was beginning to look forward to it.I walked to the nurse, ready to hear that it was time for my doctor’s appointment. I knew it was time anyway; I had been waiting for this moment since I woke up today.“Come with me,” she responded.“What for?” I asked her.This wasn’t the regular statement that she would make when she came to call me for my doctor’s appointment, so

Chapter: Severe GroundsMARKI didn’t think that trying to get a new secretary could be this difficult. In the last two hours, I couldn’t even find any of the candidates I could stand.“Are there no competent people in this city?” I asked in exasperation.The day was almost coming to a close, and I still didn’t get anyone suitable that would resume the next day and continue from where my former secretary stopped.I called the hiring department again.“I have had enough for one day,” I said, rubbing my temple with my thumb as I began to feel the beginning of a migraine. “More than ten candidates and not a single one came close,” I added.“We are sorry about that, Mr. Mark,” she responded.“Maybe tomorrow, but for today, I can’t stand another incompetent human being,” I added.“Alright, Mr. Mark. We will ensure that we send better candidates tomorrow,” she said.“I would love that,” I responded.“Do have a lovely evening, Mr. Mark,” she said before I ended the call.“Good heavens!” I exclaimed in total exhaust

Chapter: Termination Of ContractALEXAGoing to confront Mark made me even more livid than I had ever been, and as I made my way back to my apartment, the anger in me threatened to explode.I didn’t think I had ever meant it before when I said that I didn’t want to see or speak to Mark Ronaldo ever again, but right now, I meant it.He might try to reach out again like he always did; I was certain of that.“But I won’t allow that to happen anymore,” I told myself firmly. “I am not going to be a fool to him or anyone anymore,” I added.I should have been firmer in cutting him off after he signed the divorce papers, but instead, I had entertained every bit of him, including the times he had hurt and disappointed me greatly.How could I have even had sex with the same man who left me for my stepsister, Ivy, and even cheated on me with her while we were married, and meanwhile, he was treating me poorly the entire time?How could I have done that?The more I thought about it, the more pained and upset I became, and I could

Chapter: Her StormMARKI only became less worried when I got a call from the cop this morning.“Mr. Mark, she is back to her apartment,” he had told me.I had sighed with deep relief because all night, I was worried sick about Alexa. Even after Vector left, I tried to rest a little, but I just couldn’t.What if Alexa had gone somewhere and hurt herself?What if Donald Shell had gotten to her again?Different thoughts flew through my mind all night, almost making me lose my mind, so much so that by morning, I knew that if I didn’t get dressed and come to my company, I was going to lose it completely.I could be at my company and still be searching for Alexa, and if by mid morning I didn’t find her, I would take things to a more serious extent, but then the cop had called, relieving me of that.“How is she? Does she look fine?” I asked him.“She looks the same, sir,” he responded.I wasn’t surprised by his response because I knew that Alexa would still be hurting from everything that she had gone through

Chapter: RecieptsALEXAI woke up feeling better than I had been the previous day, but Gina wasn’t in bed, and when I turned around, she was getting dressed for work.“Good morning,” she greeted. “Good morning, Gina,” I said, rising from the bed. “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to sleep this late,” I apologized.“You were tossing and turning all night,” Gina said.She was still sounding a little harsh, as though she still didn’t want me to be here, but I pushed that out of my mind. She was like that when I arrived last night, and even till when we slept off, and it didn’t make me leave, so it wouldn’t start making me feel bad, and besides, I would have to leave this morning anyway. I was certain that my secretary would have gotten to my apartment already.However, Gina’s statement made me recall how terrible last night had been.I had thought that being with someone else would keep me from experiencing the dreams, but I was wrong.I had the nightmare again.Donald Shell came taunting me, and it was even w
