I Have The Money

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-13 22:20:48

Vivian’s POV

After 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

    Vivian’s POV“Are you going to let me in now?” I asked Manny, and without wasting any more time, Manny stepped aside, and I entered the living room.“What is she doing here?” Dad’s weak, but angry voice stopped me right on my tracks.His sight made my heart break.The last time I was here, I only watched him sleeping, but now that he was seated in the living room, he looked more frail than I even thought, and it broke my heart to realize that it was because of me that he was in this situation. 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

    Georgia’s POV“Take me to the most expensive hotels in the city,” Georgia instructed her driver when her plane landed at the airport. 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

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia spent a couple of seconds trying to calm Bonnie down. As she held Bonnie together, she could feel the young girl literally shaking with fright. “Let me see what he has been sending to you,” Georgia said as she untangled herself from Bonnie.Georgia went through Bonnie’s phone and appeared shocked, as though she wasn’t the one who sent the pictures and threat messages attached with the pictures.“Oh my goodness! 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.

    Vivian’s POV“I don’t think you should come along,” Manny told me as he got dressed to go to the location the man on the phone had texted to him.We had had to wait for about an hour or two to receive the text, and we were both scared to our bones. There were thoughts running through our minds that we couldn’t exactly voice out. They might have already killed Ted, because since they took Ted, Manny attested that they hadn’t been able to speak with him, and now, they were waiting blindly for a location. The thought that Ted might already be dead shook me to my very core, and just like Manny, I shivered visibly. There was no need for either of us to pretend about how we felt. Anyway, when the text finally came, Manny immediately took dad back to his bedroom and laid him to sleep, so that he would not have to worry about anything. Somehow, Manny and I had been able to keep details of what was going on away from dad, as we both stayed at the dining table the entire time while he rested i

    Vivian’s POVManny and I turned abruptly, scared and agitated. For a moment, I thought we were being ambushed, The rustling stopped, and everywhere was still and quiet again.“What the heck was that?” I asked Manny, panting rapidly as though I had run a marathon, and so was Manny.It dawned on me that Manny wasn’t as strong and brave as he had always shown himself to be, and it made me recall that just before we left the house, Manny had been insistent on me not coming. Well, he might not feel that way, but I am very grateful that I stubbornly came with him, because the fact that we were going through this together just made it a little less scarier, otherwise, maybe I would have passed out or peed in my pants.“How would I know? Weren’t we both standing here?” Manny asked harshly.I understood that he was tense and agitated, so I decided to not let the tone of his voice get to me.Then we both fell into silence, our eyes darting about, and seeking, looking, searching. The clock was

    Vivian’s POVI continued to ponder about where I had seen his face, because there was no doubt that I knew him. More so, I realized that he also knew me, because while he spoke before disappearing, he gave me a cold look. When he spoke, his eyes were on me, and there was a silent message I think he passed across, but I did not quite catch before he was gone. “Where do I know him from?” I pondered deep inside, knowing that I had seen his face, at least twice or three times before, but the memory was just a bit foggy.“Are you ready to go?” Manny’s voice cut through my reverie.I jumped a little and turned towards him. He had already put Ted in the front seat, and they were ready to leave. I didn’t even know that Manny and Ted had gotten into the car; after the man talked and left, I just got lost in thought.“Yes, yes, I am,” I said.Then I opened the back door and slipped into the car as Manny drove out of the premises. I expected that now that Ted was back and alive, the air would

The apartment was not just empty, but it was locked, so Syrus and Davis had to stand outside, which Syrus felt extremely embarrassed as he kept muttering under his breath. Davis kept checking his wristwatch and stomping his foot, waiting impatiently.“Did you call her to ensure that she was home?” Davis asked Syrus, trying not to sound as impatient as he was actually feeling.Syrus threw Davis a warning look. “I am just asking, Mr. Vale, because I do have a court case in less than two hours that I actually need to prepare for,” Davis said.He knew that he was standing on thin ice with Syrus, and his best job was actually on the line, so he needed to act accordingly, but at the same time, he had a very important court case to attend to. When he had taken the contract to Syrus, he had expected that Syrus would just collect the contract, take it to Vivian, have her sign it and bring it back to him, but instead, Syr

    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

    Syrus’s POVAs I drove back home, I could not help but ponder on the words of Anderson. I tried to get him to tell me what he meant, but he kept insisting that I should meet my mum.“She is the right person to tell you all you need to know,” Anderson had said tiredly. “It is not in my place, because your father made me swear not to tell you.”Syrus wasn’t even thinking about his father, because he had stopped seeing him as his father years ago. He was more concerned about what his mother knew that she wasn’t telling him. Syrus was certain that he knew everything that happened between his parents. He eavesdropped. He overheard, so what else could possibly have happened that he didn’t know about? Syrus could remember his father coldly telling his mother that he was done with the marriage. Syrus could also remember the sound of his mother’s hurting voice, and her plea for him to leave his mistress and focus on his family, but he had been adamant. Syrus’s father had slammed the door and n

    Vivian’s POVI still could not get over the shock of what Marie said to me about Mr. Vale reaching out to Syrus and Bonnie without getting a response at all. All these years, from what I got to know about Syrus and his family, their father never made an attempt to reach out to them after their parents got divorced. In fact, he had practically abandoned them, but now, Marie had just given me the side to the story that I never knew existed. I knew I shouldn’t take all her words for it simply because she was a kind woman. A woman in love could practically cook up lies just to make her out as the better woman. Any wife who was being cheated on would be mad as hell; I was a perfect example. After what Syrus did to me, there was no way I wouldn’t be cross with him. I had even decided to keep the triplets to myself, so I totally understood the grievances of Nancy, even though she was a mean and callous woman to me. Anyway, Marie didn’t get the chance to continue because I had to get regis

    Syrus’s POVSyrus stared at Anderson, and even though it was a little dark because it was quite late, he could see how deteriorated his condition was.“Anderson,” Syrus said through a rasped breath. He had no idea that Anderson had gotten this worse. Syrus might have been busy and occupied with other things, especially with all that had been going on with him recently, but he always ensured that Anderson’s medication bills were paid in full, including his salary and other bonuses, which was why he was shocked to see Anderson in this situation.But Anderson was smiling.“You took longer than I thought. I thought I was going to die without seeing your face,” Anderson said.“I shouldn’t have taken this long to come,” Syrus said and meant it. “I didn’t know that the illness had eaten this deep into you,” he added.“No man is ever going to live forever, Syrus. The most important thing is that they are on the right path,” Anderson said through labored breath. “I am not a sad sick man livin

    Syrus’s POVSyrus drove through the city at night, trying to maneuver his way around.He could barely recall the address, but he knew that he had to locate it. Years after Anderson introduced Syrus to the Frenchman and Syrus was able to bring the company back to its feet, he kept Anderson employed. His mother never liked it. In fact, she antagonized Syrus for years.“You should fire him, Syrus. He maintained a close relationship with your father even after knowing the pain and heartache he put us all through,” Nancy repeatedly told Syrus.“That would be you asking me to fire all the board members and senior staff, mum,” Syrus had told Nancy, but she had been adamant.“Then fire them and replace them all if need be!” She had said fiercely.“Mum, these are people who have worked hard in the company. They know exactly what they are doing. I cannot fire them out of the blues and just replace them like a pair of shoes. It could bring down the company, and you know this,” Syrus had argued r

    Vivian’s POVMarie wiped her teary eyes and continued, and I was more curious than ever to hear all about it.“So instead of Vale to have an impersonating staff member fired, he asked me out for dinner,” Marie said.“In front of everyone that he had already bragged that he was getting you fired?” I couldn’t help but ask.One thing I realized about this conversation which Marie began without warning is that it eased whatever we were both feeling in our hearts. Before now, Marie had been troubled about Mr. Vale’s health, and I had been troubled about the revelation I got about my family from Leon, but now, we both just seemed happy. It was as though the love that she shared; the same one I had resented before now was a soothing balm to me. It reminded me of the love and thrill I had felt with Syrus when we initially met years ago. It had been intense and deep, and it had been the best time of my life, and surprisingly, the memory of it did not fill my heart with anger as it usually woul

    Vivian’s POVI stayed with Marie in the hospital after we took Mr. Vale to see his doctor at the hospital. We hadn’t exchanged a word, and there wasn’t even a need to. As we sat close to each other, I heard Marie mumbling words of prayer to God for Vale. I couldn’t hear the words she spoke, but somehow, I was deeply touched. As much as I would love to resent them, there was no doubt that they loved each other like never before.“Marie?” The doctor called.We both stood up straighter and looked at him. Marie had been so soaked in her supplication and I had been immersed in her devotion to him that we both hadn’t noticed the presence of the doctor.“How is he?” Marie asked instantly. I found myself praying and wishing that nothing bad would happen to Mr. Vale. Not that my feelings towards him for abandoning his family had changed, nor my feelings towards Marie for taking a man away from his family had changed, but I still didn’t want him to die.If I didn’t want someone as dangerous as

    Syrus’s POV“I have been asking you if you have anything to say to me, but you keep evading the question,” Nancy said as she stood in Syrus’s bedroom. Bonnie was also present.Syrus felt like a piece of shit, because of the news that was flying around on the internet. He should have known that confrontation with a man like Ken alone was a bad idea, but then again, no one knew this part of Syrus’s life. Even Vivian who almost got to know, Syrus managed to keep her in the dark, but now, things were slowly getting out of hand. Ken had been so good and smart with what he was doing that he ensured that his face was faced out of the camera. The only person the world could see was Syrus, and of course, to them, he was trying to kill an innocent citizen simply because he was wealthy and powerful. Syrus had stayed holed up in the house, because right now, he could not bear to face the judgmental faces of everyone that knew him, including the colleagues that he hired himself.“What the heck

    Vivian’s POVThe revelation I got from Leon still had me reeling with shock. Hearing that Dad had used up our inheritance and wanted to give me out in a contract marriage to pay off his debt, I had thought that that was the height of betrayal from my family members, but this was worse than I could take.Ted now had blood in his hand!I shuddered at the remembrance of it. Thankfully, when Leon brought me back to the house, Marie and Mr. Vale had been too engrossed with having their lover’s time together to even notice that I was drenched in dread, so I had just delivered what I was sent and I went into my room. I could not even bring myself to eat anything. In fact, the thought of food made my stomach retch.This was no longer a case of drug dealing; it was a murder case. First of all, Ted had gotten involved in drugs, which was even a great crime in the country. Then he had killed Jane in cold blood simply because she had betrayed him. To make things even scarier, he had planted a pi

    Syrus’s POVSyrus got home at past midnight, drenched and drained. His mission with Ken had failed woefully. After asking Ken that question, Ken had laughed at him to scorn.“If you didn’t, then who did?” Ken had asked without remorse. “You were the one with the wedge hammer that day; I only walked in and saw that you had just murdered the Frenchman,” Ken had said.Syrus had almost fallen defeated, because on a face level, that had been what had happened, but Syrus was determined to get to the bottom of it. More than anything else, he wanted to get this guilt hanging over his head; this guilt that Ken was now threatening to use against him. Syrus was a businessman, and he knew what deadly scandals could do to his company. Once the news got out and the world knew that he had murdered someone, he would never recover from it, and Syrus had gone too far to let anything stop him now. He had sacrificed too much to let a sin from the past crawl up to destroy everything. “I don’t remember an
