Mr. CEO We're Done! Choose
Vivian’s POVTaking the job even without knowing what it entailed aside from the fact that it was in another city and it was a housekeeping job was crazy, but I had no choice.In fact, I think that was what I really needed.I still had some sort of fear and anxiety, especially regarding the fact that the last time I went away, I had gotten myself into a deeper mess that I almost didn’t survive, but from what I was told, this wasn’t another small town, and this couple were not struggling financially, so it wasn’t much of a big deal. I had taken it, and I would still take it, because right now, I just needed to get away from my family, Syrus, and Belinda, because it was as though I was surrounded by people whom I thought I knew but didn’t actually know. This time around however, I had decided to do things differently. So when I arrived at home, I asked to speak with Manny and Dad; Ted wasn’t home again. Ted was another major reason why I just couldn’t continue living here, especially

Vivian’s POVAs the train rode by, I occupied my eyes with the beauty of the city that I was seeing. Not like I hadn’t seen most of them before, but now, I paid attention with the mind to actually enjoy what I was seeing. I had been quiet the entire time, and thankfully, no one sat close to me to even engage in a chatter. I wasn’t even feeling up to it in the first place. My heart and mind were numb and shut down, and I really wanted it to be so before I reached my destination.Syrus didn’t choose me, again.I decided not to think about his rejection so that I wouldn’t cry or feel horrible about myself.“He didn’t choose you, Vivian. You have to pick yourself up and move on,” I had told myself minutes before the train arrived.The next city where I would be meeting with my new employers was just about an hour away, so I had little time to dwell on my predicament.I was all alone now.I knew that I would feel the pain of his stark rejection, but not now. Right now, I just wanted to begi

Vivian’s POVThis had to be the greatest shock of my entire existence!“Are you okay?” I heard the voice of Marie as she called out, jolting me out of my reverie.I was standing right in front of Mr. Vale, Syrus’s father!So as not to act like a lunatic, I shook my head and quickly grabbed my bag that had fallen from my hand.“Yes…yes, I am okay,” I stuttered. “I, um…just lost my balance for a second,” I lied. It was not a good thing to say, especially with the kind of job I had come to do, but I couldn’t think of a better explanation for my actions without screaming the truth.Marie chuckled lightly and good-naturedly. “Oh, that’s great; I was worried for a bit,” she said.“Let’s allow her into the house, honey,” Mr. Vale said to his wife softly. The gentleness and love in his voice was evident and palpable.“Please, come in,” Marie said with a warm smile as they led me in.I thought the environment was serene, but it did not prepare me for what I was expecting to see in their living

Syrus’s POVSyrus waited patiently for the people he was expecting to arrive. He was no nervous that he stayed in the boardroom waiting instead of his office. “Direct them all to the boardroom; I’ll be there until they get here,” Syrus had earlier informed his secretary.Some minutes later, Davis arrived. Syrus had told his secretary to reach out to him through emails, because he was too prideful to do it himself, knowing that he was the one who fired Davis himself.“Good day, Mr. Vale,” Davis greeted as soon as he entered Syrus’s office.“Davis, I am glad you arrived before their representatives,” Syrus simply said.Then he gestured for Davis to take his place at the table. Any moment from now, the representatives from the City’s Business Council would arrive. Somehow, there was just some sort of awkwardness between Syrus and Davis, which shouldn’t be so to Syrus, because he was Davis’s boss, and without him, he would not have attained half of what he had attained, which was why Dav

Syrus’s POVAnyway, regardless of what Georgia wanted to talk about, Syrus was certain that it wouldn’t be something deep or serious. Aside from what they had shared in the past, Georgia was his friend, and she had always looked out for him in ways that no one else had. Also, he would not allow anything and anyone to stop his joy. So Syrus decided that he would still go home first, take that toast, before meeting up with Georgia later.Syrus grabbed his things, ready to leave.“You may close for the day,” he announced to his secretary.“You seem to be in a great mood, Mr. Syrus,” his secretary said with a surprised smile.“I am in a great mood, and make sure you prepare for something bigger,”Syrus said as he walked out.Right now, he wasn’t thinking of anything else other than the contract he just signed.“I did it!” Syrus kept telling himself.He wished that he could see his dad and tell the man to his face that he was succeeding with the company he almost ran to the ground. If Syrus

Georgia’s POVGeorgia could already sense what was going on, and she knew instantly that if she hadn’t gone when she did, Bonnie would have broken their agreement.“Silly spoilt brat,” Georgia cursed under her breath.Gently and slowly, Syrus released Bonnie’s hand and as Georgia’s eyes met with Bonnie’s, she gave her a stern glare, as though reprimanding her fit what she was certain that she almost did. Now that Bonnie was free, she dashed upstairs even as Syrus’s eyes followed her in deep sadness. Georgia watched the both of them and she smiled internally. It made her satisfied that she was actually the one behind everything, but they had no idea. Well, Syrus would have known that someone was threatening Bonnie a few minutes ago, but thank goodness for her timely intervention. After Georgia had texted Syrus that they needed to see and Syrus was a minute late from the time she gave him, Georgia had immediately felt that Syrus was about to stand her up, and she didn’t want that to hap

Vivian’s POVThis had to be the most peaceful night that I had ever spent in a long time.The room Mr. Vale and Marie had given to me was spacious, yet comfy and warm. Outside my window was Marie’s garden where she had flowers such as hibiscus, roses, lilies, and even barbados. I could not remember the last time I saw something as beautiful and colorful as what she was seeing. The scents of the flowers also drifted effortlessly into my room, making it just perfect for me to ease into blissful sleep. The serenity and peace of their home did not cause me to sleep late into the morning. I had to remind myself that I was here on a job, and my performance would determine if they would keep me. More than ever before, I wanted to stay. Here, I knew that I was safe and secure, unlike Leo and Lori’s coffee shop where I faced all sorts of lies, deceit, secrets, and danger. Rising from my bed, I went into the bathroom, freshened up wore a baggy shirt and long shorts; these had been my recent ch

Syrus’s POVSyrus placed a call through to his bank manager while he sat in his office. Georgia’s request was still fresh in his head, unable to give him rest. Syrus knew that he should still insist on a pregnancy test in a hospital of his choice, but now just wasn’t the time. Besides, her pregnancy was still early, so he had time, in the sense that even if Georgia was truly pregnant, he would be able to force her into checking the paternity of the child. Also, not that Georgia’s request was too much for him, because he had more than enough money to afford it, but it just kept bugging his mind.Syrus trusted Vivian a hundred percent in this situation, but coming down to Georgia, he just couldn’t seem to trust her, even though they had been friends and she had been a good person to him.“Good day, Mr. Vale,” the bank manager’s voice cut through Syrus’s thoughts.“I have a request to make,” Syrus said, going right to the point.“Right away, Mr. Vale,” the bank manager said eagerly.“I a

Mr. CEO We're Done! When Love Falls Into Place!
Vivian’s POV“Today, we have gathered in holy matrimony to join two love birds, whose love could not be altered with the wave of time; Marie and Vale,” the priest started beautifully.I couldn’t stop smiling as I watched Marie and Mr. Vale, dressed to perfection: Marie in a white flowery down and Mr. Vale in black pair suits. 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
Mr. CEO We're Done! The Planners Of Love!
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! A Love Worth Having
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! Fight For Love And Forgiveness
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! Water Under The Bridge
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. I was jus
Mr. CEO We're Done! Finally Set Free!
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! Ugly Realization
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! The Cat Is Finally Out Of The Bag!
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! Father And Son Mistake
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
