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

ALEXA“Why did you have to get an apartment?” Noelle asked me hours later.At first, she hadn’t pressed the issue, and we went back to working, but she was obviously troubled by the news and she could barely stay still about it.Especially as the clock was gradually ticking by.“I just wanted to live on my own,” I told Noelle.My response didn’t make her feel any better.“This is because of what I did, right?” Noelle asked, almost at the verge of tears. “Gosh, I have unintentionally kicked you out of your apartment,” she added wistfully.I shook my head.“Noelle, please, not everything is about you,” I said.“That’s not true,” Noelle objected. “I pissed you off and you decided to get an apartment to stay away from me,” she added sadly.I refused to feel guilty about making a decision by myself for the very first time. “Indeed, what you did pissed me off greatly, Noelle, but one thing it did was give me clarity,” I tried to explain.“And that clarity led you into realizing that you ne

MARK“My client, Mark Ronaldo, has been unjustly accused of conspiring with Oscar when he was alive, while his friend, Vector, has been accused of murdering Oscar,” Brent started.“Accused?” The attorney asked in a sneer.“Is there an issue with what Brent just said?” The judge asked the attorney.“Yes,” the attorney said.“What is it?” The judge asked.My eyes turned at that moment, and it met with Ivy’s. She definitely wanted me to get nailed for this; I could see it clearly in her eyes.“The person accused here was Mark Ronaldo, not Vector. A witness attested to seeing Mark run out of the apartment, but somehow, Vector jumped in and claimed that he was the one who was seen. The report is here, my lord,” the attorney said.He sounded really smart. I realized that Brent knew exactly what he was saying when he said that the state picked the absolute best to fight against me.And I knew without a doubt that this had all of Donald Shell’s involvement in it.“I know that this is an enclo

ALEXANoelle and I sat in my office, alone. When she told my secretary not to let anyone in to see us, I was hoping that she also included Donald Shell.He was the last person I wanted to see right now.“You came,” Noelle started. “I have been worried sick about you and trying to reach you, but you have been unreachable,” she said.“My secretary told me and I did tell her to inform you that I was okay,” I said drily.Right now, even though I wanted to, I just wasn’t feeling anything. Deep inside, there wasn’t any form of emotion running through me. I just sat there, bland.“She told me, Alexa,” Noelle said, feeling sad. “Where did you pass the night?” She asked.“At a hotel,” I told her.Noelle sighed, visibly hurt by that information.“Listen, Alexa, I am sorry about everything that happened,” Noelle apologized. “Maybe I came off too harshly, but trust me, it is because I want the best for you,” she stated.“But have you ever considered the thought that maybe I might also know what i

MARK“Are you two ready?” Brent asked Vector and I before we stepped into the court.As explained, there were no reporters or paparazzi or bloggers. The only persons present were Detective Kent, Brent, Ivy, Vector, and I. Even Donald, as much as he might have wanted to, couldn’t come because it was a private hearing.“Yes, we are,” I answered for both of us.The detective already led Ivy into the courtroom.“That’s good,” Brent said.His voice was tighter and more professional than usual, and I understood that it was because we were seeing him at court now.This was our first time.“Brent?” I called.“Yes,” he responded.“I just want to really thank you for this,” I said, my voice thick with emotion. “You have no idea how much this means to me,” I added.If I hadn’t been a Ronaldo, I probably would have had tears in my eyes by now, because truly, I doubted he even knew how much he was being helpful. Never would I have imagined that anyone could have a court case devoid of the media wh

MARK My driver drove Vector and I to the court. It turned out that Brent’s application to get us a private hearing of the case pulled through and the hearing was today.I decided to use my driver because I didn’t want to drive the car myself.Vector and I were too agitated and nervous for that.“Brent is such a fantastic lawyer,” Vector said, breaking the silence between us.We hadn’t said much to each other since Brent called the day before to give us the positive news. Not that we were beefing each other, but the truth was that Vector and I had been consumed with the thought of what the outcome might be.The end of this would either be the freedom for Vector and me, or it would turn our lives upside down.Vector would be affected greatly; he might even spend the rest of his life in jail if it goes badly, because he already took the fall, and I would definitely be dragged into it.Our lives might as well be over.So those were the thoughts that consumed us, so much so that we couldn

ALEXA“I am glad that you are taking the apartment,” Gina said with so much relief and excitement.“Why?” I couldn’t help but ask.“Are you kidding me? The one and only Alexa Silver is pleased with the choice I selected for her, why wouldn’t I be very excited?” Gina asked.“It’s because it suits my preference. Everything I told you I wanted is here, and the neighborhood seems safe,” I stated.“I paid attention to you, Alexa, and I am happy that I could meet your requirement. As for safety part, yes, the neighborhood is serene. There has never been a case of robbery or breaking in or an attack, I can assure you. There are officers delegated to this neighborhood every hour of the day and night. They are always on patrol, so it’s quite easy for them to either sight what’s amiss, or hear a resident’s call for help.
