Vivian’s POV

“Vivian. Vivian?”

I snapped out of my reverie when Syrus’s voice of him calling my name kept ringing in my head.

“Are you okay?” Syrus asked, looking at me with deep concern.

“Yes, I am fine,” I said, shaking my head to get rid of the thoughts in my head.

I was reminiscing on that night when I had happily and freely given myself to Syrus in an apartment just like this one when his words had interrupted me. I shuddered at the thought of things almost replaying itself years later; we were both alone, standing in an apartment.

The only difference was that now, we are divorced.

“Are you done? You can leave now,” I told Syrus, causing him to be surprised at my dismissal.

But I just wanted to be alone, at least, until the effect of what our past that I just reminisced cleared from my head, and also, I needed time to think deeply about what happened to me in the last couple of days, and the way forward. Having Syrus here would prevent all that.

    Vivian’s POVAfter the tight hug that lingered for minutes, we finally untangled and I led Belinda into the living room.Having her around just felt downright relieving and so right.“Vivian, what happened?!” Belinda was the first to speak.I guess she was the first to come out of whatever emotions it was that kept us quiet, and just taking in each other. It felt like I hadn’t seen Belinda for years. This was nothing like the time I left to be with Syrus; now was just extremely different. I just feel that with what I experienced, I had come to realize that the people who have been in my life are very special.“It’s a very long story,” I said.“One of which I have all the time in the world,” Belinda said, staring at me.“Don’t you have a job to be doing right now or something?” I asked lightly.“I see what you are doing, but I should tell you, Vivian, I took the rest of the day off just to be with you,” Belinda said. Then she stopped abruptly and she looked at me. “First things first,

    Vivian’s POVBelinda threw her head back and laughed when I asked her that question.“Belinda, what did you do?” I asked her again, eager to know.“I didn’t do what I wasn’t supposed to do,” Belinda said vaguely, but I was not having it.“What are you talking about?” I asked her, my curiosity nearly overriding me.“Okay, let me give you the full gist, since you are this eager,” Belinda said.“Please do!” I said.We both settled in the bed, holding and hugging each other tightly, yet tenderly. It was as though we had been apart for eternity, and now that we were together again, we were afraid that being slightly apart might make one of us disappear.“That day when I left, I got a call from my clique of friends,”“You have a clique of friends now?” I asked Belinda, slightly jealous. All these years, she was the only one I ever had as a friend, even up till now, so realizing that Belinda got a whole bunch of friends and shared friendship with other people that I was not a part of just g

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia arrived at home in a lighter mood, because a few minutes after she left Brenda’s apartment, she got a call from Brenda.“Have you changed your mind?” Georgia teased. She already knew the answer, but Georgia just enjoyed toying with her victims.“No, I haven’t,” Brenda responded, and from the sound of her voice on the phone, Georgia could tell that she was still shaken.Very good, just the way Georgia liked it!“I wanted to inform you that the interview video has been deleted completely, and it would never be out in the public,” Brenda said.“How am I certain that this isn’t a lie just so that I would not expose you?” Georgia asked.She was not a fool. In fact, she was way smarter than a bunch of people, and she knew how these things worked, because she had been in the game long enough, which was why she did not even talk about her other blackmail request yet.“Because you have just been crowned our star of the season,” Brenda announced.Georgia could not believe

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia was upset and disappointed at Bonnie for making her waste her time going all the way to that property only to discover that there was no one there.In as much as she would like to, she could not show off her anger and disappointment towards Bonnie. If she didn’t need both mother and daughter to reach her goal, she wouldn’t bother with a dumb head like Bonnie.“Sometimes, being born with a silver spoon just makes them really stupid and silly,” Georgia said to herself, referring to Bonnie. Georgia was not particularly a fan of these rich kids, because half of them were not remotely as smart as she was, and that was because they had everything practically handed over to them in a platter of gold.Georgia arrived at Syrus home, and for the first time, she really hoped that Syrus would not be at home. She did not want to see him, at least not now, and she was still very upset that after that interview, he never bothered to reach her. Instead, he had gone to be the kni

    Syrus’s POV“Mum, do you have an idea what Bonnie did? Did she tell you? Are you also in on this?” Syrus asked his mother, fuming.He had gotten a worrisome call from the family’s finance officer who expressed his deep concerns about how huge amounts of money was being withdrawn from the family account. First, it was Bonnie, then Syrus, and now Syrus was requesting for another amount of money.Syrus would be really upset if his mother was in on this.“You can at least start by talking first, Syrus,” Nancy demanded authoritatively.Georgia just sat there watching the family drama, and hoping to God that Bonnie would not be forced into mentioning her name, otherwise she would be doomed. This was the only family that she pitched her tent for now.“Bonnie had five thousand dollars wired out of the account, and I demand to know what she used the money for!” Syrus bellowed.“So you refused to answer mum’s question, but you want to force me into answering yours, right?” Bonnie stated stubbor

    Vivian’s POVI have been reminiscing on the things that Belinda revealed to me, and I could barely make sense of it.I watched Belinda getting dressed for work as I stayed lazily in bed, my mind trying to understand everything.“Vivian!” Belinda practically yelled my name, making me snap out of my reverie. “Jeez, you were lost for a moment,” Belinda said.“No, I have been here,” I lied, and Belinda knew I was lying. I really do not understand why I lie to her when she could read me like a book. “I have been talking for about ten minutes, and you completely zoned out, so stop lying to me,” Belinda said.“Okay, what were you saying?” I asked, somehow sensing that she was yapping about silly things.After talking at length yesterday, I had pleaded with Belinda to spend the night with me. It was my first night in the apartment, and I did not want to sleep alone. Trauma from that small town still haunted me greatly; which was even why I switched off my phone. Thinking about it now, I had

    Vivian’s POVAfter Belinda left for work, I began to contemplate whether or not I should go. I wouldn’t have gone if Ted hadn’t been taken away, which should have given me enough confidence, but now, I just felt horrible going, because all this problem was because of me.I hadn’t spoken to Manny since the last call when he told me to run to safety. Maybe he must have been trying to reach me, but my phone was switched off.“You don’t have all the time in the world to contemplate, Vivian,” I told myself, because if I don’t go now, I might not catch Manny at home before he goes to work.So I got dressed and left the apartment, taking the key with me.On my way there, my heart began to pound heavily, and I wondered why I was feeling this way about visiting my family. I used to be very comfortable around them, and even though we have had our rough patches, we were still a family.Standing in front of the door now, I inhaled and exhaled.“You have got this, Vivian,” I encouraged myself befo

Vivian?” Manny responded, equally upset, even though we were both equally trying to keep our voices down so that we would not wake dad up.“He does not want to see you, or speak to you! I wouldn’t even have let you in if he was awake!” Manny spewed.His words hit me like a punch in my guts, making me stagger backwards. So this was what life had become for me. My dad who accepted me when I returned after the divorce no longer accepted me.“This is not fair!” I said as hot, bitter tears began to fall from my eyes. “This is not fair at all.”It was as though my words aroused the anger that Manny had been trying so hard to keep at bay.“It is not fair? Vivian, do you have any idea the pain you have caused us?!” Manny bellowed. “First of all, you ran off with a man that none of us approved of!” Manny said.“I know that. I know that,” I was crying now, in deep regret.“That alone, caused dad to have his f

I had left in confidence because I was sure that I had a friend and supporter in Belinda.“You have made another awful mistake again,” I scolded myself. “When are you ever going to learn some lessons?” I was feeling like shit, especially now that I was going back to the home and family where I was rejected. I did not want to take the risk of going to another city or town where I knew no one, because the last time I did, I got entrapped in a web of lies and deceit and dreadfulness. I was some months pregnant now, and my stomach was already showing, so it would be dangerous to just venture out on my own.When I arrived at home, I knocked on the door gently, and Manny opened the door.“Vivian,” he said in acknowledgment, but he made no atte

Well, apparently, something significant did come out of the relationship this time around, but we are curious; what about Syrus’s first wife?”Syrus was already shaking his head as he read through. “We never came back together!” Syrus stated, his voice hitting the roof.It was as though he desperately wanted his family and the general public to believe him. Then it dawned o

    Syrus’s POVSyrus left Vivian’s apartment almost right after.The mistake he made was that he would have followed Vivian immediately she left and insisted on not letting her go, but he had been too stunned by everything that had happened that he wasn’t even acting right at all, and when he had realized that Vivian was truly gone, just a couple of seconds after, he had raced outside, but it seemed as though she had gotten a quick taxi and disappeared.Syrus had tried to run after her, but he didn’t even know the direction she had taken. He was confused. He was agitated, so he decided to call Davis. By all rights, Davis was his lawyer, and he wasn’t even supposed to be dealing with this all by himself. In fact, Syrus was now very upset as he recalled that Davis actually left right after Vivian declared that she was never going to sign the contract.“Wasn’t he supposed to pressure her and make her sign it?” Syrus asked no one in particular.Thinking about it now, Syrus was not even cons

    Vivian’s POV“What do you mean by that?” Syrus asked me as I busied myself with packing the few things my hands could grab. Besides, it was not like I had much anyway.“I believe I was clear enough the first time,” I said angrily.“You are not going anywhere,” Syrus declared firmly.I left what I was doing and turned to him, shocked that he still had the nerve to be throwing orders and instructions at me.“Then leave!” I said. “I just want you to leave, Syrus, because I cannot bear the sight of you right now,” I added angrily.“There is no way I am leaving you in this state, Vivian; it’s too risky,” Syrus objected.“What do you mean by that?” I asked, confused, because I could not understand why he was saying what he just said, and his it aligned with the discussion at hand.“I know you, Vivian. If I leave you here, I might not find you here the next time I get back, and I cannot have that, which is why I wanted you to sign the contract before Georgia came and spoiled everything,” Sy

    Vivian’s POVI looked at Syrus, shaken, confused, and downright heartbroken.Syrus had been my one and only, and to find out that he had a fiancé was just heartbreaking. My lips had quivered, and it was even a miracle that his phone did not fall from my hand.“What are you doing with my phone?” Syrus had asked instead of answering my question.My breathing had already increased rapidly, and it had felt like my heart was going to either explode or fall into my stomach. My world had literally come crashing down at that moment.“You have a fiancé?” I had repeated, more intensely this time around.My voice had shaken, and Syrus knew this. Tears had also spilled from my eyes.“We are no longer together,” Syrus had answered.Then he had walked up to me and collected his phone. He didn’t seem happy, and I could not tell if his anger was coming from the fact that I had looked through his phone, or something else, but whatever it was, Syrus looked upset which wasn’t fair, because I was the one

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   The First Lie

    Vivian’s POVAfter walking out on Syrus and his lawyer, I stayed in the bedroom, and cried my eyes out.I have been a fool for Syrus, over and over again, but right now, I feel completely foolish and useless.“When are you going to ever learn, Vivian?” I asked myself amidst tears. “When are you going to stop being a fool for him?” I continued to question myself.The fact that we were divorced did not make the pain of his hurt any lighter. Syrus Vale was the first man I ever loved and dated, and up till now, the only man I have ever given my body to, but he had never been completely faithful to me. My family and Belinda were right; I was a fool for believing that a man like Syrus Vale who had seen the world would stay faithful to me. Even though we were two years apart, Syrus was obviously more exposed and experienced than I was, but I didn’t care, because I was deeply in love with him. Maybe if I had cared, I would not be in this situation.My babies deserved a family, not one that i

    Georgia’s POVEven though Georgia was practically asked to leave the house, she was still giddy with excitement. The announcement plan certainly went exactly the way she wanted it. The shock and hurt was evident in their faces, especially Vivian’s, and Georgia could not have been happier.“I deserve an Oscar for this!” Georgia told herself with pride. As far as she was concerned, she was a good actress, and also, she had been able to steer the entire situation to her favor. Georgia knew that the next person that Vivian would run to was her best friend, but then again, she already had that part sorted out. One thing Georgia had noticed knowing Vivian and Belinda was that Belinda was literally Vivian’s backbone, and in the world of bringing an enemy to the ground, one would have to destroy the backbone first, or keep it at bay, before attacking the main enemy. Georgia hadn’t bothered with Belinda when she made her first strike by having an affair with Syrus, because she knew that they

    Vivian’s POVI had no intention to shed tears, but I could hardly believe what just happened.Georgia was pregnant…for Syrus.We are divorced now, I understand, but that did not make it any less hurtful. I felt my heart shattering into a million pieces. The same woman that Syrus had an affair with, that caused me to divorce him, is now pregnant for him. So they have truly been in a relationship all this time. It wasn’t a new gist, but somehow, I had thought and hoped that it was all a lie. I watched Syrus as he read through the pregnancy result, and from the look on his face, Georgia was truly pregnant. I also noticed the look Georgia gave me; scornful and triumphant, and my heart broke.“It is a good thing your lawyer is here, Syrus, so that he knows that things are legal now,” Georgia said, breaking the silence.Syrus’s lawyer, Davis, stretched his neck and took a look at the result, and he shook his head. “Should we sit down and make things legal?” Georgia asked. “Wait, what?” Sy

    Georgia’s POVThe shock on everyone’s faces gave Georgia more joy than she ever anticipated.“What…what are you talking about?” Syrus stuttered, utterly stunned.All Syrus’s pomposity and pride deflated, and it was evident in his voice. Georgia absolutely liked that, because it also gave her the chance to walk through all of them into the living room. While they looked at her in shock, she glanced around the living room. Georgia could not deny that it was cozy and luxurious.“So this is the place Syrus got for Vivian,” Georgia said to herself spitefully. Hatred, anger, and bitterness towards Vivian bubbled to the surface, and Georgia had to force herself not to scream. Every time she tried to make Vivian pay, things ended up being in her favor. Syrus had not spent a dime on Georgia ever since she met him; well, aside the first time when they had that wild and abrupt affair, and she only money she got from Syrus was giving her money when he wanted to leave the hotel, which Georgia had
