Vivian’s POV

I froze at the sound of her cold and harsh words to me. It was the first time I was hearing her voice, and those were the words that came out of her mouth.

I opened my eyes in the apartment now and turned around to face my reality.

“How did you find this place?” I asked her as I turned and saw her looking around the apartment.

“Why can’t you leave my family alone?” Nancy turned to me and asked, her eyes as cold as ice.

“I have divorced Syrus,” I reminded Nancy, refusing to feel intimidated by her presence and words.

When I was still married to Syrus, I tolerated every trash they threw at me, because I desperately wanted to make things work. I desperately wanted to be accepting and feel the sense of belonging, because I had neglected my family, and I had never lived without the presence, love, and joy of being around a family. But now that we were divorced, I realized that I did not need to accommodate any of her hostility. In fact, I realized that right after the divorce

    Syrus’s POV“Yes, please have all of those delivered to the address I attached to the purchases,” Syrus said over the phone. He had just ordered a few things for Vivian; some of the things that would make her comfortable for now, and this time around, he was paying with his personal funds. He did not want to have to deal with anyone policing him about his finances, especially his mother.Syrus was still troubled about the huge sum of money Bonnie moved from the family account. This was the first time that she was doing something like that, and he was even more surprised that his mother took her side, or was she in on it too? He never got to know.“What in the heavens did she use that money for?” Syrus asked himself, greatly troubled. “What could she have needed it for?” He pondered.He was beginning to develop a mild headache as a result of trying to understand why she would do something like that, because Bonnie was well catered for. In fact, she had everything she needed, and all t

    Vivian’s POVWhen I heard the doorbell ring later that evening, I jerked in shock. Did Nancy return to continue with her threats and harsh words?I just sat there, contemplating. It was early evening, and I doubted anyone else would be visiting. Besides, I didn’t have any friends, and the only friend I had was Belinda. It couldn’t be Manny, because he did not know that I lived here. It couldn’t be Syrus; since the last time I told him to leave, he hadn’t returned or even called, and he would probably be nose deep into work right now, so my best guess was Nancy. She probably forgot to throw in a few more threats and punching words, and she decided to return to say them. Yes, Nancy Vale was petty like that.So I just sat there, contemplating while the doorbell continued to ring, although I already concluded somewhere in my mind that I did not want to let her in. Perhaps, if she continued that way, the neighbors would alert the cops on her, because she was threatening the peace of the e

    Vivian’s POV“What in God’s name did you do that for?” Belinda asked, looking at me in shock, but before I could respond to her, the knock came again.I turned immediately and opened the door, and there stood the delivery lady.“Excuse me, ma’am, but you are Vivian, and you sure know Mr. Syrus Vale?” She asked.“Yes, and yes, but I still do not want any of them,” I said firmly, my voice sounding a little harsher than I intended it to, but I was already getting too upset to care about how I sounded.“Ma’am, it has all been paid for, I assure you, and they are all special orders,” she pressed.“Are you deaf or something?” I lashed out at her, and she threw her head back in shock.“I was just doing my job,” she said, less pushy now.Well, I guess she now realized that there was no talking me into accepting what I already clearly did not want to accept in the first place. Belinda hastily jumped in front of me, and in the middle of the tension that had begun to build between us.“Uh, I am

    Syrus’s POV“Hi, Bonnie, are you free today?” Syrus asked when Bonnie picked the call.He could not believe how uneasy it was for him. This would be the first time Syrus was calling Bonnie over anything at all. They existed as siblings, but that was as far as it went, and Bonnie felt it too, because she was somewhat confused at the question.“What do you want?” Bonnie asked harshly.Syrus would have ended the call at such rudeness, but he knew that as long as he was gunning for something, he had to tolerate her attitude, so he swallowed, and prepared himself for a tough challenge.“I just wanted to apologize for how I handled things with you earlier,” Syrus said.He was barely even done when Bonnie said, “Apology accepted. Can I go now?”Syrus was shocked. It was safe to say that he did not know that Bonnie had such a distasteful attitude. Most of the women in the corporate world and from wealthy homes lacked manners. Half of the time, they were rude and uncouth, which was why when Sy

    Georgia’s POV“You have always been sweet, Georgia,” Adrian said after he got off from Georgia.Without saying a word, Georgia got out of the bed and went into the bathroom to clean up. She did not spend much time there, because she really wanted to get away from here. Georgia came out and picked her bag, ready to leave.“No tip?” Adrian said, looking at Georgia with a sly smile.“What for?” Georgia asked, irritated.“Well, I did all the work, Georgia, why you just laid here like a log,” Adrian said.The words would have gotten to Georgia if she didn’t know who Adrian was, and what their deal was about. She internationally did not do anything at all, because this was more for Adrian than it was for her.“You have all the tip you need already, Adrian. You just had your way with a rising star; you should be thankful,” Georgia said.She would rather hang on a tree than give her money to anyone at all. Besides, if she could, she would have just paid Bonnie the loan instead of sharing a be

Maybe if I got lucky, I would get a job. I meant it when I said I did not want to lean solely on Syrus, and even though I knew I could not get a job that would miraculously give me the money to save Ted, I knew I just needed to get my life back on track.“You have been wasting away for too long,” I told myself. “It’s time to get back out there and get your life together,” I added as I continued to check through job sites.Most of the job openings I found that I felt I could do with a reasonable pay needed recommendation.“There you are, Vivian; hooked,” I said, feeling sorry for myself. Looking around me now, I realized that I had no one else to get a simple recommendation from, which was pathetic. I did n

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Disappointing

    Vivian’s POVMore than ever before, I was ready to do what everyone expected of me; get the money to save Ted from Syrus Vale. In a way, they were right. If I hadn’t chosen to go with Syrus, my dad would never have had his first cardiac arrest, and Ted would not have needed to get his hands dirty. The days were going by really fast, reminding me that I had less time left. All of this just made me recall the first time they all found out about Syrus.That day, I had been in my room when Syrus’s call came in. Quickly, I shut the door, and if I had known, I would not have done that, because one of the rules they had forced on me was to never shut my door. I had a dressing room where I did everything girly that needed to be done without being seen or interrupted, but my main bedroom was never to be locked.“Hi,” I said with a gleeful grin when I picked Syrus’s call. “Hi, Viv,” Syrus’s husky voice had boomed through the receiver, making me blush over and over again.Being with Syrus and

    Vivian’s POVQuietly, I came out of my bedroom and went to the living room. The hostility I met in the living room almost made me run back to my room.Dad, Manny and Ted were all glaring at me.“Vivian?” Dad started with a very gruff voice; one I had heard him only use on either Manny or Ted when they had done something really bad.“Yes, dad,” I answered meekly. Maybe it was the fact that I suspected that they already knew, that was why I acted guilty. Maybe if I had acted confidently, they probably wouldn’t have rounded me up like that.“Why did you have your bedroom locked?” Dad asked, looking at me squarely. “You know it is against the rules to leave your bedroom door locked,” he added grossly.“But this isn’t fair,” I said calmly. “What isn’t?” Dad asked me.“Why don’t I get to lock my bedroom but Manny and Ted are always locking theirs whenever they choose?” I dared to ask.I could literally feel Manny and Ted’s intense gaze piercing into my skin.“So we are now questioning the

    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

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   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

    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.

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   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

    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
