Vivian’s POV

Syrus stared at me, and it was obvious, just like the sound of his voice, that Syrus was troubled, but I knew that this wasn’t the time to show concern by asking what the problem was.

“You lied to me?” Syrus asked, his anger rising to the surface.

I opened my mouth to talk; whether it was to explain why I did what I did, or even apologize, I could not exactly tell, but Syrus did not even give me the chance, as he walked over to me menacingly.

“What do you think this is, huh? Do you think everything is a joke to you? Why would you tell such a lie?” Syrus asked angrily.

“I just wanted you to come, because…” I started talking, but I stopped when I felt pain in my lower abdomen.

I winced and held my stomach, and I became frightened when the pain increased. It felt as though the babies were moving, but in a chaotic way that sent shots of pain through my body.

Syrus looked at me with a more disgusted expression than a worried one. “What is it?” He asked in a sneer.

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia lounged by the pool in her bikini, sipping from a glass of a very expensive wine, and just enjoying nature. She could see the hotel gardens and tall trees from where she sat, and it just gave her some sort of peace. Georgia had the best time of her life touring London in the last couple of days, all expenses paid. This was her first tour as a star, and she could not get over the sight, food, culture, exhibitions, and of course, body treatments that she had enjoyed. It was as though it should never come to an end. “I did this all by myself,” Georgia said and smiled to herself. Nobody ever achieved anything by being the good guy or good girl, and Georgia knew, especially from experience, that even those highly wealthy and influential families had also done some dirty things in the past that would destroy all they have ever worked for if they ever got to the public, and they guarded those dirty, ugly secrets with everything they had.The only person Georgia hadn’

    Vivian’s POVI looked at Syrus and wondered what conditions he could possibly have, but regardless, I would take any conditions from him as long as I got the money needed.“What are the conditions?” I asked him.“I know you are very stubborn, but I am not joking about this, Vivian. If I give you this money that you have requested, you promise to stick to my terms?” Syrus asked.I began to grow upset. “I already told you to state your conditions, right?” I said harshly.“The thing with people is that they always agree to terms, as long as it suits them and as long as they are going to get something, but when it is time to stick to the condition, they bail out,” Syrus said, and he was freaking right.I knew that if Syrus mentioned any conditions right now, I would accept without blinking, because I was in a desperate condition now, but then again, what difficult condition could Syrus possibly demand?It would only be nearly impossible if he mentioned being his wife again, because that i

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Who Are You?

    Vivian’s POV“Are you sure?” The doctor asked, looking skeptically at me. Both questions, the one he asked previously and this one now was directed at me, but somehow, Syrus managed to steal the show. The doctor sensed that something was amiss, especially in the manner with which Syrus jumped on the question. Anyway, I was just as perplexed and skeptical as the doctor.“Yes, she is sure,” Syrus answered quickly again, then when he saw the questioning look on the doctor’s face, he quickly adjusted and said, “We are sure.”The doctor looked at Syrus as though he was looking for something that Syrus wasn’t saying, before looking at me, as though I was in some sort of terrible situation with Syrus and he wanted me to confide in him, so that he could rescue me, but I could not even bring myself to say anything else.Or maybe I was too shocked to say a word.The doctor cleared his throat. “Well, um, I asked because I noticed she was checked, and I just wanted to know…” the doctor was sayin

    Syrus’s POVSyrus could have pressed Vivian on the reason she needed such a huge amount of money, but he could not focus on that right now.Even as he drove back home, he could not stop thinking about his encounter with Ken, and the doctor’s questions. Ken hadn’t lied when he said he touched Vivian, and that made Syrus more upset than he had ever been. He wished he could strangle Ken himself, but according to law, he couldn’t. Worse still, Ken knew a dirty secret of his that could ruin Syrus’s life forever.“Damn, I wish that never happened,” Syrus said painfully.He had no idea what to do about Ken yet, but he knew that he would rather die than let Ken get anywhere close to Vivian, or his babies. Once the babies are born, Syrus decided that he would protect them and keep them as private and safe as possible. They meant the world to him, and he could not wait to officially meet them, but first of all, Syrus needed to do the needful. Even though he had given Vivian a huge sum of money,

    Vivian’s POVAfter Syrus sent the money to me, every other thing he said that made me feel entrapped just disappeared. Without wasting time, I got dressed and proceeded to go over to the house.Manny opened the door, his expression hard and firm.“Are you going to let me in?” I asked Marcus, looking at him.This exact moment reminded me of years ago, about the first time that I had sneaked out of home on a weekend trip out of town with Syrus. Also Belinda hadn’t supported it; she never did when it came to Syrus, but as sworn best friends for life, she grudgingly accepted to cover for me. I had the most blissful time, but when I returned to Belinda’s house first to gather my things, she had a look of dread on her face.“What is it, Bel?” I had asked Belinda, my heart beating, because I knew that that expression meant that something had gone wrong.“Your family knows that you weren’t here the entire weekend,” Belinda broke the news to me sadly.The first instinct that came to me was the

It was because of me everything changed completely in my family.“I am here to correct the mistakes I made, Dad,” said.He could barely look at me, and Manny went over to him and gave him some water. I wanted desperately to also go over to him and hold his hand, but I knew that that was the last thing he would want. “Where is Ted?” Dad asked after managing to suck in a few sips of water.His voice still sounded croaky and cracked, and it was obvious that he was in severe pains, but aside from

She had just touched down from her tours, and Georgia could hardly believe that anyone could have that much fun.“So this is what those big stars enjoy, and more?” Georgia thought to herself.Well, shame on her mother for ever thinking that she, Georgia, would be as poor and rickety, or as a failure as she was. Georgia could not wait to see her mother so that she could gloat to her face. This was just the beginning of her career, and she would get to the top.“And no one would ever be able to stop me,” Georgia vowed to herself.She would crush anyone that ever got into my way to getting what she wanted, regardless of who they were. One of the reasons Georgia had to even get back was to put Belinda in place. It was she who enlisted Brenda in the first place to try to sabotage her. “Anyway, by the time I am done with both of them, they would know never

Bonnie, how on earth did he get your cell number?” Georgia asked, pretending to be utterly stunned.Bonnie sniffed, trying to comport herself. “He asked me for my contact…actually, I willingly gave him mine…I can’t exactly remember if he was him who asked first or if it was me who just gave me…everything about that moment is blurry to me right now,” Bonnie said hysterically.She was beginning to sound like someone who was having a mental breakdown, but whatever the case may be, it was certainly playing in Georgia’s favor.

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
