Syrus’s POV

Syrus was having a rough morning, so much so that he got back home from Davis’s office and decided to stay indoors. Maybe he would go to the office much later, or tomorrow, but whatever the case, he just needed to rest so that he could get his thoughts right.

Thankfully, the living room was empty.

He did not really check if his mother’s car or Bonnie’s was outside, so he couldn’t tell if they were home or not, but Syrus plopped on the couch and closed his eyes, trying to get some rest.

But his mind kept drifting back to Vivian.

He could not shake off the feeling that something was off. Her family would never include him in the search, Belinda would not tell him more than she already did; not that she knew much herself, because according to her, she was out of town when Vivian went missing, and all attempts to reach her have been futile, and now, he had gone to punch Vivian’s ex-manager in the face.

“Damn, I really messed up,” Syrus scolded himself.

He could not tell Davis

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   She Always Finds A Way

    Georgia’s POV“Hi, is this the private investigator from the secret firm?” Georgia asked as soon as the call connected.She had been finding a way to bring that bloody interviewer down by all means. “She thinks she can humiliate and insult me, and go scot free? I will end her career,” Georgia had vowed to herself.She would rather die than let this slide. She had gone over and beyond to get to where she was, and in the process, had crushed anyone who stood in her way; she would definitely do the same to this interviewer and whoever put her up to it.Georgia suspected Vivian at first, because Vivian was the only person she had been antagonizing recently using Syrus, but then again, Georgia doubted Vivian would ever be able to pull such strings. Georgia knew Vivian and what she was capable of doing. What a lot of people didn’t know was that Georgia had known Vivian, and she could guess what she could do and couldn’t do. Anyway, Georgia was about to find out.So she had sneaked into the

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   The Escape

    Vivian’s POVI was more than relieved that Syrus did not hesitate to help me. In truth, deep down, I knew that I could count on him regardless of the fact that I ghosted him for weeks.“Keep your phone on and active, so that we don’t miss each other,” Syrus told me before we ended the call. His voice was a soothing balm to all that had been going on around me lately.The challenge now was how to get out of the coffee shop, and leave without being held back, and whatever I needed to do, I needed to do it before Ken returned, because Lori already mentioned that he would be back soon to pick me up. Going for the little clothes I had was not an option now, because they would suspect.I cleared my throat, straightened my shoulders, chinned up, summoned all the courage in me and walked out of the dressing room. I met Leo and Lori seated on one of the chairs that the customers usually sat on. They spoke in low tones, but when they saw me, they became instantly mute, which made me realize th

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Raining Hell & Threats

    Vivian’s POV“Is everything okay? Why are you running away from that man?” The taxi driver asked after he had driven me far away from Ken’s reach.He was so smart that he went really fast and took a quick turn, so even if Ken had tried to trail us, it would be difficult for him to do so, even though I did not see his car when I turned and looked at him. I could not bank on that anyway; I was in a haste to escape, so maybe it was there and my eyes just did not catch it.Whatever the case may be, I was grateful that we had escaped him.I opened my mouth to answer him, but Syrus’s voice boomed over the receiver, reminding me that I was still on the phone with him.“Vivian? What is going on?!” He asked frantically.“I am safe now,” was all I could say. “Please text me the address like you said, and I will call you when I get there,” I told Syrus.“Yeah, of course, but I want to stay on the call with you, so that I would be sure that you are fine and safe,” Syrus insisted.“Just send the a

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Vivian Is Back

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia waited and waited after making payment, and a few minutes later, she got a call from the firm.“Hello, your payment has been confirmed, and the details of your victim have been received. We are proceeding with the investigations immediately, and you should get all the information you need before the end of the day,” the voice rolled out the words like it was rehearsed.Georgia recognized the voice as the same investigator that she spoke with earlier. She was relieved and relaxed.“Now, we will see who runs this city,” Georgia said. She knew that once she got all necessary information needed about the silly ass interviewer, she would definitely know who put her up to what she did to Georgia, and that way, she would be able to have the upper hand in the whole situation. Georgia received the money from Bonnie through a wired network, and directly from her account, so she knew that there was no way Syrus would be able to trace the transfer to her account. She had al

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Not A Vale Anymore

    Syrus’s POVSyrus almost jumped out of his skin in waiting for Vivian. He tried not to call her every passing second.“This is just because of my babies. I am doing this because of my babies, and nothing more,” Syrus kept telling himself as he paced about.He kept telling himself all that just to ensure that he wasn’t this worried and frantic because he was still into Vivian. Hell no! He was only worried about his babies, which was just very normal, because every sane man would be concerned about the welfare of the woman carrying his child or children, because a healthy mother produces a healthy baby.Syrus’s phone rang, it was Davis. Syrus hissed. This was the same lawyer he asked to find Vivian.“Davis, what?” Syrus asked as he picked the call. “I asked you to get me results before the end of today. Do you have it now?” Syrus asked, knowing that Vivian was safely on his way to him.“I called to apologize for being such a jackass and speaking to you the way I did today. You are my

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Known Face

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia lingered in the restaurant after Bonnie left. Thankfully, Bonnie had payed for everything, and Georgia ensured that she would not be telling another soul about it, including her mother. She still had a couple of hours on Bonnie’s reservation before she would have to leave, so that would give her enough ample time to think and plan about her next line of action.Georgia called the waitress; she wasn’t satisfied. She didn’t take much when Bonnie was here, because she did not want to come off as hungry, poor, and desperate. Anyway, once she is able to get the necessary information she would use to blackmail the silly interviewer into doing her bidding, she would bounce back financially, or even better. Georgia had a good feeling about this, and she could barely wait.“Is Bonnie’s card still an open one?” Georgia asked the young girl.She remembered clearly that Nancy and Bonnie always left their cards open when they dined here, which means that for the duration of

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Still Controlled

    Vivian’s POVI arrived at the address that Syrus sent to me and alighted. I paid the driver from my purse, but as I opened my purse, the threat note stared at me in the eyes, making me startle a little, and bringing dread to my entire being. I was able to shake off my dread, gave the driver his money and he sped off.Then I turned and walked towards the house number. Instead of waiting for Syrus to come out and get me after calling him, I simply tried the door and it opened quietly, and I slipped in.I guess I still had bits of the coffee shop and the town in me, because before I found myself there, I wasn’t used to entering rooms without knocking.As I entered quietly, I overhead Syrus talking on the phone, and from the tone and words, I knew immediately that it was his mother, and my guts told me that he was being scolded for bringing me here.“Some things will never change,” I said and Syrus turned to me in shock.“Vivian,” he called out breathlessly. “You are here already.

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Skeletons And Closets

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia had been smiling since her recent discovery. It was pretty obvious that Belinda was the engineer behind her disastrous interview, because Vivian was the only person she was currently antagonizing.“The slimy bitch,” Georgia cursed angrily. “She has always been the one fighting for Vivian,” Georgia said, because she remembers everything all too well.She knew that even Belinda did not recognize her too.“I am going to make sure they all pay for this,” Georgia said to herself with a determined grin. She was already on top of the game. Since Vivian was back in town, and Belinda tried to sabotage her interview, she would ensure that she dealt dangerously with both of them, but first of all, she needed to start with the silly interviewer. So Georgia went all the way to her apartment; the address the private investigator sent to her, and luckily, the interviewer was at home.“Brenda,” Georgia said when she opened her door.It was the first time she was actually addre

    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.

    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
