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: Taking A Step OutALEXABeing here alone on the second day of the New Year made me feel a little stuck, and I just felt the urge to go out and do some baby shopping.Mark sent me a lot of money before the New Year, and till now, I hadn’t spent a dime from it.“A shopping wouldn’t be a bad idea,” I told myself as I got out of the shower.It would even be good for me because I would get to feed my eyes. Since the New Year eve, I had been holed up in here. While it was blissful because of Mark’s presence, I just felt the need to step out for an hour as well, especially as Mark wasn’t here.“Ma’am, are you going out?” Lora asked when I got downstairs.My bump was already growing really fast now; one minute I didn’t even take note of it and the next, it was obvious, but I ensured that I wore something that would conceal it a little even though the whole of Paris already knew that I was pregnant.“Yes, I am,” I answered.And Mona became worried instantly.“Um, is it something I could help you get instead?” L

Chapter: Season Of EngagementsMARK“I will be back in an hour or two,” I told Alexa.“Alright, fine,” she responded casually.There was something about her countenance that felt awfully calm and it made me very worried. Also, there was this form of suspicion in her eyes.I just couldn’t explain it…A trip to the boutique was important because I needed to get some clothes, but I wanted to pay a quick visit to Vector because I really needed to speak to him.“I have had your cell phone plugged already and it’s charging, so you can just get it whenever you feel like,” I said.“Okay, thanks, Mark,” Alexa responded.And then I left, knowing that this time around, I wouldn’t be absent for long. I wouldn’t have to get back to my house and deal with Mona’s drama. On my way to Vector’s house, I thought of turning on my cell phone but I changed my mind.I was still very much avoiding anything that had to do with speaking to Mona.It was the second day of the New Year but I still didn’t know when I hoped to resume going back

Chapter: A Suspicious MorningALEXAMark and I talked deep into the night. Surprisingly, neither of us went back to sleep.We easily deviated from Mark’s vows and his wait for a response to the baby kicking and the joy that filled our hearts.I had never felt anything like it before.I felt alive!“Good morning, beautiful,” Mark said as he walked into the bedroom with a tray of breakfast, just as he had done the previous morning.“How long are you going to keep up with this?” I asked Mark lightly as I sat up straighter.I didn’t even realize that it was mid-morning. Thank goodness that Mark thought of getting me breakfast because I was already famished.“For as long as you will have me,” Mark responded without feeling offended by my question.He placed the tray of breakfast in front of me and I almost threw everything into my mouth. They looked delicious already!The first thing I tried was Lora’s baked honey bread and they tasted like heaven. I expected that it would be tasty because Lora was good at what she did

Chapter: His VowsALEXAHaving Mark wrap his arms around me for the second night in a row felt unreal. It felt safe, and a tiny part of me wanted this every single night.For all the cold and lonely nights, this felt like a compensation, and I really wouldn’t like to go back to those nights, especially now that the baby was growing.In a few months, we would welcome our child.Our child…Some weeks ago, I didn’t want Mark anywhere around me. I didn’t even want him to know that I was having a baby, but right now, lying next to him after two rounds of lovemaking in the middle of the night, it felt as though we were a complete and perfect family.Still, I was worried.With Mark, it had never been rosy.There was always one heartbreak or the next looming around and frankly, I didn’t think I wanted to have anything to do with a heartbreak, especially if it would come from Mark.I was still reminiscing on the thought when I felt Mark’s hand on my stomach, and gently, he caressed my bump which seemed to have

Chapter: Not To Be InterruptedMARKAlexa and I found ourselves in the bedroom. I had completely forgotten that I was supposed to be weak and ill.We just couldn’t get up the stairs fast enough.At some point, I even had to lift Alexa slightly so that she would be able to go up the stairs as fast as I was going. And then before we got to the bedroom, we were already taking off each other’s clothes and littering them on the aisle.I kissed Alexa as though my life depended on it.It seemed like the last time I tasted her lips was months ago.“Gosh, Alexa, I missed you so much,” I murmured into her mouth before deepening the kiss.And that prevented Alexa from giving a response.I didn’t even need the response. What was important right now was the fact that we both needed to feel each other badly.Gently, I lay Alexa on the bed and then proceeded to turn her around so that I could have her from behind, but Alexa stopped me.“I need you to go fast, Mark,” Alexa demanded huskily. “I want you to pound into me like you ha

Chapter: His ResponsibilitityALEXA“Come in, Mark,” I eventually said when it seemed as though an eternity of silence had passed between us.Vector led a weak Mark into the living room.“Do you want me to help you upstairs or would you rather have Vector do it?” I asked Mark.Maybe he might prefer it if Vector did although I wouldn’t have minded. I had looked after Mark in worse conditions.“I think I can make it up the stairs on my own,” Mark responded tiredly.“Are you sure?” I asked worriedly.I hadn’t seen Mark this weak in a really long time. The last time I did, it was after he got out of coma, but I was trying not to think about those moments because that would only lead me to thinking about all the hurt and ingratitude that came with it.“Yes, I am,” Mark responded.“And I really should be on my way,” Vector said.And that was when I recalled that Vector was truly here. My whole attention had been solely on Mark that I hadn’t even paid any attention to Vector, or maybe it was because he didn’t need my att
