Vivian’s POV

“What does that even mean?!” I asked, angrier now.

“What doesn’t it mean? 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.

    Vivian’s POV“Twenty thousand dollars?!” For a moment, I thought my ears were playing tricks on me, but from the look on Manny’s face, I knew he was not joking. Why would he? Who would joke about something as important as this?Manny took a seat, dejected. He looked like he was dressed for work, but I couldn’t ask him.“Dad’s medical bills certainly shouldn’t have cost that much,” I said with certainty. Not like I had any valid proof, but I just couldn’t believe it at all. “You weren’t here, Vivian, so you have no idea what it was like,” Manny said.There was still the underlying tone of anger and resentment which I just recently figured out, and it really broke my heart. Well, I guess everyone in my family now officially hates me.“I know that, but…” I tried to talk, but Manny interrupted me.“What about that Jane girl?” Manny asked out of the blue. I blinked several times, because for a moment, I could not understand Manny’s question, and he noticed my confusion.“The girl you m

    Georgia’s POVIn private now, Georgia held her hand to her chest and released the breath that she had been holding.“That was freaking close!” Georgia said in shock.While she sat there and watched the banter among Syrus, Nancy and Bonnie, Georgia had been praying that Bonnie wouldn’t be pressured into telling the truth, thereby mentioning her name.She was really smart enough to have told Bonnie to wire it over to her, because she knew without a doubt that Syrus definitely tried to trace that money. “I have to think of something,” Georgia said to herself in thought.She received the mail of her officially approved contract with the TV show, which meant that the money would soon be paid to get. It also meant that she would soon begin her tour. All things seemed to be working well for Georgia. Now, her only problem was Bonnie. Georgia had a deep feeling that if Syrus applied just the right pressure, she would slip. She knew Bonnie and the soil she was made from. Bonnie was too soft at

Georgia watched Bonnie give Adrian a side look, and she raised her nose up.“All of you from wealthy homes are always looking down on people at first look,” Georgia said to herself in disdain.She was familiar with that kind of look all too well, because when she was trying to make her way to the top, she faced a lot of criticism from wealthy and influential people. Georgia also knew that if she wasn’t where she was now, Bonnie would not give her a first look at all.“Well, all that is about to change,” Georgia said as she paid attention to the pair. She arranged it in such a way that made her hear everything they were talking about.“I am waiting on someone, and you are in her seat,” Bonnie said in her rich, proud, and sophisticated voice that made Georgia want to drag off all the wealth and influence

    Vivian’s POVI had been fuming with anger since I left my home. How could Manny suggest something as outrageous as that? Why would he even think that I would want to collect such a huge amount of money from Syrus.I got into the apartment and slammed the door angrily. I grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen first to calm my thirst, but it did nothing to quell the anger deep inside of me. It was bad enough that they were already treating me as the black sheep of the family, and now, they want to guilt-trip me into this.I called Belinda on the phone immediately. I knew she was at work and probably busy, but if I did not talk to anyone, I might explode, and Belinda was the only one I could talk to. Belinda picked at the first ring, making me super relieved.“Girl, you do realize that I am at work, right?” Belinda said in her light nature, as always. “Do you want me to order that breakfast now?” She asked.“I am sorry, Bel, but I just needed to talk to someone,” I said, and now that

    Vivian’s POV“Mrs. Nancy Vale,” I said breathlessly.I wasn’t particularly expecting anyone, but definitely not Syrus’s uptight, sophisticated, condescending and downright blunt mother. Without even asking if she was welcome in or acknowledging that at least I said her name in exchange for a polite greeting, she shoved me off the door and sashayed into the apartment, her exotic and expensive cologne lingering in the air.I stood by the door, frozen in shock, and maybe a little bit of fright. Since I divorced Syrus and moved out of their house, I completely stopped thinking about her and her cruelty and hostility towards me, until now, everything just came rushing back, especially the first day I met her.“Where are you taking me today, Syrus?” I had asked, giggling happily as I rode with Syrus in his brand new car.He had insisted that he wanted to see me, so as usual, I went out of the house with the constant lie that I had something to do at Belinda’s house.“Do you want to guess?”

    Vivian’s POVI froze at the sound of her cold and harsh words to me. It was the first time I was hearing her voice, and those were the words that came out of her mouth.I opened my eyes in the apartment now and turned around to face my reality. “How did you find this place?” I asked her as I turned and saw her looking around the apartment.“Why can’t you leave my family alone?” Nancy turned to me and asked, her eyes as cold as ice.“I have divorced Syrus,” I reminded Nancy, refusing to feel intimidated by her presence and words.When I was still married to Syrus, I tolerated every trash they threw at me, because I desperately wanted to make things work. I desperately wanted to be accepting and feel the sense of belonging, because I had neglected my family, and I had never lived without the presence, love, and joy of being around a family. But now that we were divorced, I realized that I did not need to accommodate any of her hostility. In fact, I realized that right after the divorce

He had just ordered a few things for Vivian; some of the things that would make her comfortable for now, and this time around, he was paying with his personal funds. He did not want to have to deal with anyone policing him about his finances, especially his mother.Syrus was still troubled about the huge sum of money Bonnie moved from the family account. This was the first time that she was doing something like that, and he was even more surprised that his mother took her side, or was she in on it too? He never got to know.“What in the heavens did she use that money for?” Syrus asked himself, greatly troubled. “What could she have needed it for?” He pondered.He was beginning to develop a mild headache as a result of trying to understand why she would do something like that, because Bonnie was well catered for. In fact, she had everything she needed, and all t

    Vivian’s POVWhen I heard the doorbell ring later that evening, I jerked in shock. Did Nancy return to continue with her threats and harsh words?I just sat there, contemplating. It was early evening, and I doubted anyone else would be visiting. Besides, I didn’t have any friends, and the only friend I had was Belinda. It couldn’t be Manny, because he did not know that I lived here. It couldn’t be Syrus; since the last time I told him to leave, he hadn’t returned or even called, and he would probably be nose deep into work right now, so my best guess was Nancy. She probably forgot to throw in a few more threats and punching words, and she decided to return to say them. Yes, Nancy Vale was petty like that.So I just sat there, contemplating while the doorbell continued to ring, although I already concluded somewhere in my mind that I did not want to let her in. Perhaps, if she continued that way, the neighbors would alert the cops on her, because she was threatening the peace of the e

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

Syrus Vale, CEO and heir of the Vale company.”Syrus opened his mouth in shock.“We are so happy!” Nancy said as she and Bonnie exchanged happy smiles. “Finally, a baby with the right woman!” Nancy gushed some more.But Syrus wasn’t listening to his mother, as he continued to read the rest of the story online.“Recall that a while back, there had been speculations about a relationship going on between Georgia and Georgia confirmed that they were dating. 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

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

    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
