MARKIn less than three days now, I would be wedded to Alexa; that was the thought that ran through my mind as I woke up.Actually, I rarely even slept last night.It was a good thing that Mona had left by the time I got back because I really didn’t want to set eyes on her right now. Thinking of Mona meant sorting things out with her before the wedding.Unfortunately, I still didn’t know what to do with her, and I would have to think fast because I didn’t have all the time in the world.I allowed Cannon Dexter to drive me to my company this morning just because I wanted to think deeply without having to concentrate on driving.“Why didn’t you ask questions or even tell Alexa that the weekend was too short?” A voice in my head asked me.I wasn’t lying when I told Vector that I wasn’t sure anymore.Yes, I did ask Alexa to marry me, but now, it just felt as though something was off, and of course, it was too rushed.When I proposed to her again, I had hoped to do this differently.If Ale

IVYI was still reeling in the shock of what Jack told me the evening before, so much so that I woke up with it on my mind.I have a brother.Oh no, a stepbrother...could my life get any funnier?It just seemed like I was living in a strange world where everything was unfolding. All my life, I realized that I had been living a life that wasn’t even mine in the first place. Being the stepdaughter of Mr. Silver wasn’t my reality.This was.I got out of bed, which was surprisingly warm and cozy all night, and as I proceeded into the bathroom, I realized that I didn’t have anything to freshen up with. I was still wearing the clothes of yesterday and I was beginning to feel awful.“Oh, heck,” I lamented.Living with Jack in this condition would be hard because how was I supposed to cope?I turned around and found my way to the cabin’s small living room.“Good morning, Jack,” I greeted, but I was met with silence.The entire space felt as though no one had been in it. It wasn’t very early i

ALEXA“Have you lost your mind, Alexa?!” Noelle asked me, her voice almost bringing the roof down.I swallowed hard and turned to her.“No, I haven’t,” I responded tightly.“Then what was the meaning of that madness you just pulled off?” Noelle asked me.“Madness?” I asked Noelle, surprised at the name she gave it.“Yes, Alexa!” Noelle said.She was so upset and confused at the same time that she couldn’t bring her voice down.One minute she was holding me close so that I wouldn’t pass out or hurt myself because we all thought that Mark was affected by the blizzard and that he might be dead, and the next minute, she was raising her voice.But then again, I really couldn’t blame Noelle.A part of me didn’t even know what I had just done.“Weren’t you the one who asked me to marry Mark?” I asked Noelle defensively.“Yes, I did, but I didn’t ask you to walk up to him and say that you wanted to marry him the minute you saw him for crying out loud,” Noelle answered hotly. “And this very we

MARKFor a moment, I was completely speechless. I just stood in front of Alexa like a zombie and stared at her.I couldn’t see or hear anything else.Reyna and Noelle sort of dissolved into the background, leaving just Alexa and me at the moment.“What is going on?” I asked Alexa when I was eventually able to get my mouth to produce some words.“Did you hear what I just said?” Alexa asked me in return.“Yes, yes, I did, but...” I started, sounding very confused because I was actually very confused, but Alexa interjected, cutting me short.“But what?” She asked impatiently.“But I don’t understand,” I blurted out.“I will marry you, Mark,” Alexa repeated with the same firmness, certainty, and confidence as she had done some seconds ago.“I still...” I started, but this time around, my voice trailed off.It was as though I had walked into a place that I had never been to before and everything happening was strange.I spent the last twenty-four hours worrying my head about Alexa and bein

MARKWe stayed longer in the sky than I had anticipated, and for whatever reason the pilot gave; I couldn’t even recall because I was too impatient and pissed off to even listen to him, but it didn’t prepare for the delay I would encounter when we eventually landed.“What the heck is going on?!” I barked at everyone and no one in particular.“Mr. Mark Ronaldo, please, calm down,” one of the senior airport staff members told me.I glared at him so angrily that he had to take a step back from me.“I am sorry, Mr. Mark,” he apologized.“You better be,” I retorted.But I still needed an explanation to what was going on. It seemed like the airport here wasn’t suddenly functioning any longer, and it made me wonder why all of this was happening.First, I got delayed at that damn company. What was supposed to have lasted for only an hour took more than three hours, and then the blizzard came, keeping me stuck at their airport all night. It was even worse because my cell phone had been switche

IVYDinner tasted better than I expected. I watched him kill the animal that he had hunted down and prepare it in a way that I hadn’t seen before, and by the time he was done, I realized that it was just like what I had ordered before in a restaurant.Only that this time around, it was way tastier.I ate until I had my fill, and even when I was done, I still ate some more because I didn’t know the next time I would get something like this to eat. The last thing I even wanted to think about were those half-cooked vegetables of his.“Dinner was delicious,” I found myself complimenting him after we were done eating, but he merely grunted in response.He went to the kitchen and tidied up.As I watched him, I kept wondering if he really enjoyed being here all alone or he was stuck here because he didn’t have a choice.What if the Mafias weren’t after him? Would he have settled for a place like this?As far as I knew, no one in his right mind would ever choose this sort of solidarity over t

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
