Georgia’s POV

Georgia arrived at the Vale’s residence and was pleasantly surprised by the “little” party that Nancy had said they were throwing for her.

A few guests had already begun to arrive, but Georgia did not want to go straight to the family garden. She knew that the party would not begin without her, so she already knew that Nancy and Bonnie were probably still in the house. Besides, they would have hired party planners to get things done while they stayed in the house and got ready for the small party. From the few guests that Georgia saw arrive, she could already tell that they were not people of the middle class. Georgia was not surprised, because the Vale family were an elite family in the country, so it was expected that their acquaintances would be of the elite social grouping also.

“They are upstairs, and they have been expecting you,” one of their recently hired domestic workers said to Georgia the moment Georgia entered the living room.

    Vivian’s POVTed’s voice almost sent my heart flying out of my body, especially when he talked about someone going through his things. I actually thought I placed the pictures the exact same way I saw them, or maybe I got them wrongly.Ted was matching to Dad’s bedroom but I guess he got stopped by Manny, because all of a sudden, his angry footsteps stopped, and although I didn’t hear what Manny said, I heard his voice say something to Ted, and Ted exploded.“She is here?!” Ted yelled at the top of his voice.It was obvious that he was referring to me, and my heart broke that Ted was still very upset with me. Manny had stopped resenting me, at least, and Dad seemed like he had forgiven me, but not Ted, and I wondered why; he was free now, so what could be the problem?“Why is she here? She is going to cause more trouble for us!” Ted could not stop yelling.The more he talked, the scarier and more uncomfortable I became, and it was evident in my actions, because each time he bellowed,

    Syrus’s POVSyrus would give anything to be anywhere else other than at this godforsaken party, but his mother had threatened him and forced him to be here, so now he had to put on a fake smile and pretend to be happy.When they arrived at the party in their home garden, Syrus was surprised at the guests his mother had invited in just a few hours. Worse, they were men that Syrus highly respected.“My mother has finished me,” Syrus muttered to himself.There was no way he would be able to act otherwise in front of these people. Syrus was growing increasingly up, and his cheeks were beginning to hurt him from displaying fake smiles. Syrus came out of the mansion with his mother and sister behind, while Georgia clung to his side, holding his hands. There were cameras flashing at them, almost blinding Syrus, and still, he could not frown or show that he was greatly displeased by any of these. After he had managed to endure all that, Syrus managed to pull his mother away while Georgia cont

    Syrus’s POVSyrus plastered a smile on his face and went to join everyone else at the party. It was obvious that everyone was enjoying themselves except Syrus. The only thing he wanted right now was to ensure that Vivian had not fallen into the hands of Ken a second time.Nancy started by giving the opening speech. “I want to thank you all for honoring our invitation even though it was on a short notice. I am Nancy Vale as you all know, and this is the first grandchild that my son, Syrus Vale is producing,” Nancy began.Syrus ground his teeth in annoyance. Unfortunately, he could not correct his mother’s statement while she was making her speech, and he had to smile through the godforsaken lie. He had told his mother countless times that Vivian’s babies were his, but somehow, she adamantly refused to accept it, and she chose to drop that announcement right in front of everyone that mattered, and in a situation when Syrus could neither correct nor stop her. There were a few confused st

Georgia had never been happier in her entire life!The party lasted for another hour and Syrus was able to seal the deal, but the moment the guests dispersed, Syrus entered into his car and drove out of the house.“Ignore him,” Nancy told Georgia as they made their way to the living room. “He can only sulk like a child, but what is done is done,” Nancy added.Soon, they settled into the couch in the living room beside each other. Georgia could not tell where Bonnie was, but she did not care much. Somehow, this was just a moment between she and Nancy.“Thank you for this party, Nancy. It was amazing,” Georgia said and meant it.“You belong here now, Georgia,” Nancy said in response to Georgia’s appreciation, making Georgia’s heart melt.“I love all of this,

For the first time, Georgia highly respected Nancy, because she was a woman who got everything she wanted, and at last, her son turned out to be the CEO of Vale company. Georgia had wanted to leave, but Nancy insisted she slept over. “You are family now,” Nancy had said. “Begin to act like it.”Georgia had been ecstatic that she was already accepted by Nancy and Bonnie, and she knew that it would not take much for her to get Syrus to accept her too.

    Vivian’s POVI cramped myself in the store room trying to sleep, but the sleep was not forthcoming.I could not stop thinking about how hurt I was. At first, it seemed as though I wanted to regret leaving the apartment, but then again, my self-worth and dignity which Syrus had destroyed over and over again were on the line. I knew that without Syrus Vale and his financial support, I could take care of myself and my babies, especially now that it seemed as though my family had accepted me now.Well, except for Ted.The last time that I had seen him was when he appeared at my door and warned me to stay quiet about the pictures that I had seen, and I noticed that he had locked up the room. I couldn’t say a word of it to dad or Manny, but I couldn’t just let it slide as though I didn’t see anything as disturbing as that. For now, I was more bothered about my predicament with Syrus and the recent development with Georgia to worry so much about Ted, after all, he was free and back home now.

    Vivian’s POVI got up and followed Manny to the living room, because I was more interested in getting away from that hurtful and regretful thought than what he even wanted me to see.“What is it?” I asked Manny.It was not until I left the store room that I realized that I had no clue what Manny wanted me to see. It could be something I wasn’t prepared to see, and I had just followed him without asking.“It’s on the show,” Manny told me.I scrunched up my nose in disgust, because I wasn’t a fan of watching shows. In fact, they made me really sick. I wanted to turn back instantly, because I was certain that whatever Manny wanted me to see would be irrelevant, but then again, I didn’t, because I was not fully accepted back into the family, and the earlier I did what they liked, the better for me. At least, I just believed that it would help me get closer to them. Deep down, I wanted to mend every broken fence so badly that I was literally ready to do right about anything. They were the o

    Vivian’s POVI began to breathe faster, and I could not even tell if it was a panic attack or not; it had never happened to me before, but I felt as though my heart was giving way because of the headline.I didn’t have anything I particularly hoped to see, but even if I had thought about it, I would never have come to this. Manny noticed my mood and he came closer to me, worried, and he paused the show right after.“Do you need me to turn it off?” Manny asked, worried about me.“Is…is this what you wanted me to see?” I managed to get the words out.My voice was shaking.“Yes, because I thought you might want to see it, but I never knew that it would trigger you,” Manny said apologetically. “I could turn it off right now,” Manny added.I saw that he meant it, because he had already taken the remote and was about to switch off the TV, so I shook my head.“Leave it on; I will watch it,” I told Manny.My voice was shaking a little, but it was firm.“Are you sure?” Manny asked and I nodded

    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.

    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

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia was frantic. Things were getting out of hand. Syrus had been unreachable for hours since today, and she did not know what to do.“I cannot lose,” Georgia told herself as she paced about in her apartment. She had come too far to lose. She had done too much to lose now.“What do I do? I can’t let Syrus win over me,” Georgia said.As she was pacing about and thinking, Ken knocked on her door. Georgia answered it, but she was irritated. Ken was gradually becoming a nuisance to her; why would he keep showing up at her apartment?“You can’t just come in here whenever you like, Ken,” Georgia berated him.He hardly even gave her enough time to think things through and decide on what she wanted to do. “Why not?” Ken asked, making Georgia more disgusted. “We are a bound team now, remember?” Ken said.“You have your apartment, and I have mine. Stay at yours unless it is exceptionally necessary for crying out loud,” Georgia told Ken.She did not even bother masking her ann

    Syrus’s POVAll these years, Syrus had felt horribly sorry for his mother, being that he felt that she was unjustly abandoned, but from what Vale said, it meant that his mother swindled and manipulated her way into his life.Syrus shook his head; he did not want to believe that about the woman he had loved, adored, and respected all his life.“That cannot be true,” Syrus argued.“Do you think that after all these years I would lie to you?” Vale asked. “The years I spent being married to Nancy were the worst years of my life. I tried to love her, but I just couldn’t. She knew I was in love with someone else. She knew that I would never love her, but she refused to let me go. I know that you might not like the sound of this, but I went as far as taking a secret DNA test on you, because I wanted to find every reason to leave,” Vale said as tears streamed down his face in sadness and regret.Syrus’s heart was shattered beyond words. He had no idea that the story between his parents was de

    Syrus’s POVSyrus walked over to where Mr. Vale sat solemnly, backing him. Marie stood behind Syrus, urging him to go to Mr. Vale.People had left the cemetery now, and they had all moved to Anderson’s house, or most of them, for the next batch of the funeral celebration. Syrus’s plan had been to pay his last respect here at the cemetery, then he would return home, but everything changed, including his plans. More so, Syrus could not believe that he let his father’s mistress, the woman he hated so much talk him into listening to Mr. Vale, something he had equally vowed that he would never do. Syrus swallowed hard, the words finding it difficult to come out from his throat. “Vale?” Marie called softly, since Syrus was taking too much time in talking, and with how sad Vale was, he was not likely going to turn around even in the next one hour.“I was counting on this opportunity, Marie, and I have lost it,” Vale said, his voice dripping with sadness and regret.Marie knew that if truly
