Mr. CEO We're Done! Failed Appointment
Vivian’s POV My stomach churned in annoyance. I had hoped that Syrus would fail, so that I would have an excuse not to get him involved, but it seems that he took the whole thing more seriously than I anticipated.“Welcome, Syrus,” Doctor Pedro greeted Syrus with a grin.I gritted my teeth to prevent me from screaming in anger. It was just painful to see that everyone else adored and liked Syrus without knowing how hurtful he could be. Syrus wore one of his suits that suited him well like it was made personally for him. The first time I saw Syrus in that pair of suit, it was as though he had fallen off from a magazine. I took my eyes away to avoid looking at him, or even catching me staring.“Why would I not make it?” Syrus deliberately turned to me with a quizzical gaze.“Well, you are almost late,” I said defensively.“Almost, but not late. According to my wristwatch,” Syrus said glancing at his expensive watch, “I am right on time,” Syrus said, his voice reeking of arrogance and pr
Last Updated : 2024-10-08Mr. CEO We're Done! A Crazier Idea
Vivian’s POV The moment I got out of the hospital, I walked so fast that even if Syrus intended to catch up with me, it would not be easy for him. I ensured that I came out first and fortunately, found a cab waiting. The last thing I wanted was Syrus following me out of the hospital and blaming me for ruining our first appointment.I knew that it was my fault, but I would rather swallow a frog than admit that it was my fault.I described Belinda’s address to the cab driver and he sped off immediately. Instinctively, I turned to check if Syrus had attempted to catch up with me to explain things, or even ask me how I was faring, but I caught sight of him leisurely walking out of the hospital and walking straight to his parked car without even looking around.More than I would like to admit, it hurt me deeply that Syrus was being so nonchalant about my feelings and emotions. By tomorrow, I would have to see him in that office again, and there was nothing I could do about it. I placed my

Vivian’s POVI felt better after visiting Belinda and talking about the hospital episode with her. It was even easier than I thought to admit to her how everything had made me feel, and even better that she did not judge me at all, instead, came up with a wild idea that she had me smiling and shaking my head as I did my job the next day.The appointment was not until hours later, and although Belinda had fought to go with me for moral support, I managed to dissuade her; it wasn’t necessary, and besides, I did not want Syrus to think I came with someone to bully him, because that is exactly what Belinda was hoping to do…bully the jerk.Then Belinda had given me hours of strict lectures about her extremely crazy idea. At first, I did not want to deal with it, but then again, Syrus wasn’t exactly a wonderful husband to me, and it just seemed like the right thing to do. My head was bowed and engrossed with what I was doing, plus the thoughts in my head that I did not see Dan show up in f
Last Updated : 2024-10-09Mr. CEO We're Done! The Audacity
Vivian’s POVI stared at Georgia, and for some seconds, I did not know how exactly to react at her audacity. “How did you know I work here?” I asked. It was not the question I had wanted to ask, but then that was what came out of my mouth instead. This was my workplace, and certainly not the place for this kind of conversation. Well, maybe Georgia knew that she couldn’t show this level of audacity without getting a piece of how I felt if she had accosted me in a different place. Before Georgia could open her mouth to speak, the two ladies, who always talked about her walked in and saw Georgia. They gasped, star-struck.“Oh my goodness!” They screamed in delight and rushed over to us. I could see the look of pride in Georgia’s eyes at their reaction and the smile that played on her lips was that of mischief, and I rolled my eyes in disgust.“It is really you, Georgia!” the squealed in delight as they spoke together at once, as though they had been preparing for this day for years.

Syrus’s POV “You are fifteen minutes earlier,” Doctor Pedro said as I walked into his office, surprise written all over his face. I smiled and sat across from him. “Yes, I am,” I said.“Then let’s hope Vivian will not keep us waiting today,” Doctor Pedro teased.I nodded and said with a smile, “Let’s hope so,” But deep down I wanted Vivian to be late so that I could gloat.Knowing her plans now, I did not want to take any chances. This would be the first time I would be a father, and I would not take any chances at all. When Georgia had told me about it, I almost did not believe her.“Vivian is pregnant with triplets,” Georgia had blurted out the moment she stepped into the living room.“Excuse me?” I had been very confused“You heard me right, Syrus,” Georgia said as she sat next to me.“How did you know?” I asked. Not that I believed completely, because before the divorce, there were no signs that Vivian could be pregnant, although not that I paid much attention to her body, but w
Last Updated : 2024-10-10Mr. CEO We're Done! Worked Like Magic!
Vivian’s POVIt took me every ounce of courage and discipline not erupt in laughter at Syrus’s expression. Indeed, Belinda deserved an Oscar for coming up with this idea that I had thought was crazy and not something I could do.“You will have to put Syrus on his edge of his seat with an attitude he will not see coming,” Belinda had said before diving into the rest of the plan she already cooked up in her head.And honestly, I had just wanted things to slide with Syrus after contacting my workplace for consideration, but when Georgia had appeared to threaten and humiliate me, I knew I just had to take Belinda’s advice.I had been somewhat surprised to have found Syrus sitting in the doctor’s office and waiting, but because I came fully prepared, I did not let my shock to take the better part of my emotions. “Are we ready to see what we have in there?” Doctor Pedro asked Syrus and I as I laid on the stretcher. After the agreement to act as adults and be peaceful, he had ushered us in
Last Updated : 2024-10-10Mr. CEO We're Done! Something Fishy
Syrus’s POV“What are you doing here?” I asked Georgia.I did not mean for my voice to sound so rude and harsh, and I caught the look of embarrassment that washed over Georgia’s face, especially as Vivian was just walking away. Hopefully, Vivian was too far away to have heard me talk to Georgia like that, but nonetheless, seeing her just caught me by surprise.“I came to give you emotional support,” Georgia said, her voice indicating that she was truly hurt by how I had welcomed her. “You don’t sound too happy to see me,” Georgia pouted. “I left an important shoot just to be here for you.” I sighed not knowing what to say or do at this point. I remember giving Georgia the permission to tell the world that we had begun dating, but I did not sign up for this. Right now, there is a whole lot of processing that I need to do, especially with my kids well on the way, and Vivian’s recent behavior. I only wanted to please Georgia, because ever since my divorce, she had been nothing but suppo
Last Updated : 2024-10-11Mr. CEO We're Done! The Schemers
Georgia’s POVBeing a rising star and taking lots of interviews did not prepare Georgia for the hurt that came with Syrus’s rejection.She swallowed hard and tried to catch her breath, and it was even a good thing to her that Syrus was not paying attention to her. She knew her pain was evident, but if Syrus really looked into her eyes, then he would know the extent to which he had hurt her.Georgia began to boil with anger and jealousy; anger at Syrus for not appreciating the fact that she was still with him after all this time, and jealousy at Vivian. The witch must have planned the pregnancy, Georgia was sure of it. She was an actress by extension, and she was familiar with a lot of tricks people engaged in just to get what they wanted. Vivian already realized that Syrus was never going to stay loyal and faithful to her the way she would have wanted him to, and so she had decided to trick him into a forced commitment.Georgia had been happy that she had successfully pushed Vivian in

Mr. CEO We're Done! A Hard Choice
Vivian’s POVI cramped myself in the store room trying to sleep, but the sleep was not forthcoming.I could not stop thinking about how hurt I was. At first, it seemed as though I wanted to regret leaving the apartment, but then again, my self-worth and dignity which Syrus had destroyed over and over again were on the line. I knew that without Syrus Vale and his financial support, I could take care of myself and my babies, especially now that it seemed as though my family had accepted me now.Well, except for Ted.The last time that I had seen him was when he appeared at my door and warned me to stay quiet about the pictures that I had seen, and I noticed that he had locked up the room. I couldn’t say a word of it to dad or Manny, but I couldn’t just let it slide as though I didn’t see anything as disturbing as that. For now, I was more bothered about my predicament with Syrus and the recent development with Georgia to worry so much about Ted, after all, he was free and back home now.
Mr. CEO We're Done! Something Can Be Done
Georgia’s POV“You need to get him to marry you.”Those were the firm words of Nancy that kept tugging at Georgia’s heartstrings. For the first time, Georgia highly respected Nancy, because she was a woman who got everything she wanted, and at last, her son turned out to be the CEO of Vale company. Georgia had wanted to leave, but Nancy insisted she slept over. “You are family now,” Nancy had said. “Begin to act like it.”Georgia had been ecstatic that she was already accepted by Nancy and Bonnie, and she knew that it would not take much for her to get Syrus to accept her too. She had to act up and claim what was supposed to be hers, but Georgia did not end up like her. Nancy did manage to get Syrus’s father to marry her and even had two children for him, but at the end of the day, he still left her to be with the same woman he had loved from the very beginning. Nancy did not exactly say that, but Georgia knew from the way Nancy told the story to her that she knew that Syrus’s father
Mr. CEO We're Done! Her Responsibility
Georgia’s POVGeorgia could hardly contain the joy in her heart when Syrus told those representatives that things were officially between them, and she was more than certain that the bloggers around definitely got that information. Georgia had never been happier in her entire life!The party lasted for another hour and Syrus was able to seal the deal, but the moment the guests dispersed, Syrus entered into his car and drove out of the house.“Ignore him,” Nancy told Georgia as they made their way to the living room. “He can only sulk like a child, but what is done is done,” Nancy added.Soon, they settled into the couch in the living room beside each other. Georgia could not tell where Bonnie was, but she did not care much. Somehow, this was just a moment between she and Nancy.“Thank you for this party, Nancy. It was amazing,” Georgia said and meant it.“You belong here now, Georgia,” Nancy said in response to Georgia’s appreciation, making Georgia’s heart melt.“I love all of this,
Mr. CEO We're Done! Are Things Official
Syrus’s POVSyrus plastered a smile on his face and went to join everyone else at the party. It was obvious that everyone was enjoying themselves except Syrus. The only thing he wanted right now was to ensure that Vivian had not fallen into the hands of Ken a second time.Nancy started by giving the opening speech. “I want to thank you all for honoring our invitation even though it was on a short notice. I am Nancy Vale as you all know, and this is the first grandchild that my son, Syrus Vale is producing,” Nancy began.Syrus ground his teeth in annoyance. Unfortunately, he could not correct his mother’s statement while she was making her speech, and he had to smile through the godforsaken lie. He had told his mother countless times that Vivian’s babies were his, but somehow, she adamantly refused to accept it, and she chose to drop that announcement right in front of everyone that mattered, and in a situation when Syrus could neither correct nor stop her. There were a few confused st
Mr. CEO We're Done! Game Master
Syrus’s POVSyrus would give anything to be anywhere else other than at this godforsaken party, but his mother had threatened him and forced him to be here, so now he had to put on a fake smile and pretend to be happy.When they arrived at the party in their home garden, Syrus was surprised at the guests his mother had invited in just a few hours. Worse, they were men that Syrus highly respected.“My mother has finished me,” Syrus muttered to himself.There was no way he would be able to act otherwise in front of these people. Syrus was growing increasingly up, and his cheeks were beginning to hurt him from displaying fake smiles. Syrus came out of the mansion with his mother and sister behind, while Georgia clung to his side, holding his hands. There were cameras flashing at them, almost blinding Syrus, and still, he could not frown or show that he was greatly displeased by any of these. After he had managed to endure all that, Syrus managed to pull his mother away while Georgia cont
Mr. CEO We're Done! Don't Say A Word
Vivian’s POVTed’s voice almost sent my heart flying out of my body, especially when he talked about someone going through his things. I actually thought I placed the pictures the exact same way I saw them, or maybe I got them wrongly.Ted was matching to Dad’s bedroom but I guess he got stopped by Manny, because all of a sudden, his angry footsteps stopped, and although I didn’t hear what Manny said, I heard his voice say something to Ted, and Ted exploded.“She is here?!” Ted yelled at the top of his voice.It was obvious that he was referring to me, and my heart broke that Ted was still very upset with me. Manny had stopped resenting me, at least, and Dad seemed like he had forgiven me, but not Ted, and I wondered why; he was free now, so what could be the problem?“Why is she here? She is going to cause more trouble for us!” Ted could not stop yelling.The more he talked, the scarier and more uncomfortable I became, and it was evident in my actions, because each time he bellowed,
Mr. CEO We're Done! A Hard Question
Georgia’s POVGeorgia arrived at the Vale’s residence and was pleasantly surprised by the “little” party that Nancy had said they were throwing for her. A few guests had already begun to arrive, but Georgia did not want to go straight to the family garden. She knew that the party would not begin without her, so she already knew that Nancy and Bonnie were probably still in the house. Besides, they would have hired party planners to get things done while they stayed in the house and got ready for the small party. From the few guests that Georgia saw arrive, she could already tell that they were not people of the middle class. Georgia was not surprised, because the Vale family were an elite family in the country, so it was expected that their acquaintances would be of the elite social grouping also. “They are upstairs, and they have been expecting you,” one of their recently hired domestic workers said to Georgia the moment Georgia entered the living room.Georgia knew that she was ref
Mr. CEO We're Done! Disturbing Pictures
Vivian’s POVMy hands have literally been shaking since I saw those pictures. First of all, one of them was the picture that was placed on Jane’s body after she was killed, and the second one showed that Ted also knew the man, not just Jane alone. In the picture, Ted held Jane tightly and lovingly; anyone could see that they were romantically involved, and this man stood by both of them as all of them smiled into the camera. They looked happy in the picture, and they also looked closely acquainted.I became bothered and my heart began to beat rapidly. As I looked at the pictures, my hands began to shake; there was something about the pictures that unnerved me, because it was obvious that Ted knew him, because it was the same man that released Ted to us when we went to pick him up after paying for his release. Different thoughts ran through my head and I could not even wrap my head around everything that was going on. Ted definitely had some explaining to do to me! Thinking about Jane
Mr. CEO We're Done! Overjoyed
Georgia’s POVGeorgia was still holed up in her room when her phone rang; it was Nancy. Georgia picked without hesitation.“Georgia!” Nancy’s excited voice boomed over the receiver; it was so infectious that Georgia had to also smile.“Nancy, I should have called, but I got carried away with work…” Georgia began to lie, because she knew that from the sound of Nancy’s voice, she was calling about the news of her pregnancy that was making the rounds on social media.“Say no more!” Nancy said, cutting Georgia off. “I am not happy that I had to find out about my grand baby on the blogs, but my heart has been filled with joy,” Nancy said, bubbling with excitement.Georgia did everything on purpose, and after she called someone she knew to post the story, she knew the reaction that she expected. Georgia was always right on everything, especially when she knew that it would benefit her. “Oh Nancy, you make me smile,” Georgia said, and for the first time, she was being honest.“You remember t
