Reasons To Do It

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-03 23:56:42

Vivian’s POV

“What in God’s name did you do that for?” Belinda asked, looking at me in shock, but before I could respond to her, the knock came again.

I turned immediately and opened the door, and there stood the delivery lady.

“Excuse me, ma’am, but you are Vivian, and you sure know Mr. Syrus Vale?” She asked.

“Yes, and yes, but I still do not want any of them,” I said firmly, my voice sounding a little harsher than I intended it to, but I was already getting too upset to care about how I sounded.

“Ma’am, it has all been paid for, I assure you, and they are all special orders,” she pressed.

“Are you deaf or something?” I lashed out at her, and she threw her head back in shock.

“I was just doing my job,” she said, less pushy now.

Well, I guess she now realized that there was no talking me into accepting what I already clearly did not want to accept in the first place. Belinda hastily jumped in front of me, and in the middle of the tension that had begun to build between us.

    Syrus’s POV“Hi, Bonnie, are you free today?” Syrus asked when Bonnie picked the call.He could not believe how uneasy it was for him. This would be the first time Syrus was calling Bonnie over anything at all. They existed as siblings, but that was as far as it went, and Bonnie felt it too, because she was somewhat confused at the question.“What do you want?” Bonnie asked harshly.Syrus would have ended the call at such rudeness, but he knew that as long as he was gunning for something, he had to tolerate her attitude, so he swallowed, and prepared himself for a tough challenge.“I just wanted to apologize for how I handled things with you earlier,” Syrus said.He was barely even done when Bonnie said, “Apology accepted. Can I go now?”Syrus was shocked. It was safe to say that he did not know that Bonnie had such a distasteful attitude. Most of the women in the corporate world and from wealthy homes lacked manners. Half of the time, they were rude and uncouth, which was why when Sy

    Georgia’s POV“You have always been sweet, Georgia,” Adrian said after he got off from Georgia.Without saying a word, Georgia got out of the bed and went into the bathroom to clean up. She did not spend much time there, because she really wanted to get away from here. Georgia came out and picked her bag, ready to leave.“No tip?” Adrian said, looking at Georgia with a sly smile.“What for?” Georgia asked, irritated.“Well, I did all the work, Georgia, why you just laid here like a log,” Adrian said.The words would have gotten to Georgia if she didn’t know who Adrian was, and what their deal was about. She internationally did not do anything at all, because this was more for Adrian than it was for her.“You have all the tip you need already, Adrian. You just had your way with a rising star; you should be thankful,” Georgia said.She would rather hang on a tree than give her money to anyone at all. Besides, if she could, she would have just paid Bonnie the loan instead of sharing a be

    Vivian’s POVI refused to feel horrible about my argument with Belinda; she had been overstepping her boundaries anyway, even though I was already feeling like a mess.To keep me from being bored, as and a result, feeling regretful, I decided to check out some jobs on the internet. Maybe if I got lucky, I would get a job. I meant it when I said I did not want to lean solely on Syrus, and even though I knew I could not get a job that would miraculously give me the money to save Ted, I knew I just needed to get my life back on track.“You have been wasting away for too long,” I told myself. “It’s time to get back out there and get your life together,” I added as I continued to check through job sites.Most of the job openings I found that I felt I could do with a reasonable pay needed recommendation.“There you are, Vivian; hooked,” I said, feeling sorry for myself. Looking around me now, I realized that I had no one else to get a simple recommendation from, which was pathetic. I did n

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Disappointing

    Vivian’s POVMore than ever before, I was ready to do what everyone expected of me; get the money to save Ted from Syrus Vale. In a way, they were right. If I hadn’t chosen to go with Syrus, my dad would never have had his first cardiac arrest, and Ted would not have needed to get his hands dirty. The days were going by really fast, reminding me that I had less time left. All of this just made me recall the first time they all found out about Syrus.That day, I had been in my room when Syrus’s call came in. Quickly, I shut the door, and if I had known, I would not have done that, because one of the rules they had forced on me was to never shut my door. I had a dressing room where I did everything girly that needed to be done without being seen or interrupted, but my main bedroom was never to be locked.“Hi,” I said with a gleeful grin when I picked Syrus’s call. “Hi, Viv,” Syrus’s husky voice had boomed through the receiver, making me blush over and over again.Being with Syrus and

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   It Is Over

    Vivian’s POVQuietly, I came out of my bedroom and went to the living room. The hostility I met in the living room almost made me run back to my room.Dad, Manny and Ted were all glaring at me.“Vivian?” Dad started with a very gruff voice; one I had heard him only use on either Manny or Ted when they had done something really bad.“Yes, dad,” I answered meekly. Maybe it was the fact that I suspected that they already knew, that was why I acted guilty. Maybe if I had acted confidently, they probably wouldn’t have rounded me up like that.“Why did you have your bedroom locked?” Dad asked, looking at me squarely. “You know it is against the rules to leave your bedroom door locked,” he added grossly.“But this isn’t fair,” I said calmly. “What isn’t?” Dad asked me.“Why don’t I get to lock my bedroom but Manny and Ted are always locking theirs whenever they choose?” I dared to ask.I could literally feel Manny and Ted’s intense gaze piercing into my skin.“So we are now questioning the

    Vivian’s POVAfter that declaration by my dad, everything else became tumultuous, until I eventually, stubbornly, moved out to be with Syrus, forfeiting my inheritance in my family.As I turned and looked at Syrus in the apartment he rented for me now, I made up my mind, yet again, that getting the money from him was the right thing to do. If she could leave her family for him, then he might as well save them from losing Ted to the cruel hands of a ruthless drug lord. “Are you going to shut the door and come in?” Syrus asked me, confused as to why I am still standing by the door and looking lost.“Aren’t you going to ask me why I am here?” Syrus asked sarcastically, but I did not get his sarcasm.My head was still trying to get around to asking Syrus for the money.“Why?” I asked lamely.“The last time I was here, you acted as though I shouldn’t be,” Syrus said, shrugging.Then when I did not say anything else aside staring at him, Syrus looked closely at me, worried.“Vivian, what i

    Syrus’s POVThe moment Syrus dashed out of the apartment, he hurried into his car and sped off. He took out his phone and read through the text message he had received when Vivian was still ranting.“I have found what you hold dear the most, Syrus Vale, and I am going to destroy your world with it.”Syrus could not stop thinking about it. If this was true, then he truly had a lot to be worried about. That singular message brought back Syrus’s dark past that no one knew about, not even his own mother. Years back, a man from the family’s company had visited them uninvited. At first, Nancy had been skeptical about letting them in; since Syrus’s father abandoned her, she became angry and bitter towards everyone that was closely associated with Mr. Vale. At that time, Syrus had just finished college, and was still thinking of what next he would do with himself.“What do you want here, Anderson?” Nancy had asked rudely.Syrus and Bonnie sat beside her on the sofa while Anderson, a senior

    Syrus’s POVSyrus was not just shocked, but weak. All his life, he had been told that he would inherit his father’s company. The Vale company was one of the biggest companies in the country, who wouldn’t look forward to taking over? “I don’t understand, Anderson,” Syrus told Anderson.He might be young, but he knew the consequences of what Anderson had just told him.“This wasn’t what you said back home yesterday,” Syrus reminded him, his heart beating rapidly, in case he had forgotten what he said. “I know exactly what I said, Syrus,” Anderson said. “But you don’t expect me to just spill this out to the women, do you? Your mother and sister would not be able to take it like a man would,” Anderson added. “Nancy would literally die, and that would be on me.”Syrus nodded; Anderson was right. Now, Syrus understood Anderson’s words better when he said coming to see him was important when giving him his complimentary card. “Besides, it is not official yet, so the board would have my he

    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, ahd 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.

    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

    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

    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 you 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 be

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

Even if she didn’t need to meet anyone, she sure knew how to go about what she wanted.This wasn’t an exception.Every time she had a deep conversation with Nancy, she always ended up knowing what to do. “I will not allow Syrus to play me for a fool,” Georgia told herself with determination as she drew close. She had already prepared herself for what she was going to do, and there was no way she would not achieve her end result today. Georgia’s phone rang, making her sigh in relief.“About time,” Georgia said to herself before taking the call. “I thought you were going to wait,” Georgia said.“You have used our servic

    Vivian’s POV“Hi, my name is Vivian, and I am here for the interview,” I said to the person I met at the counter with the description I was given.After what I overheard from Manny and Ted, and with the uncertainty of the meaning of their words, I just knew that I couldn’t sit idly by and wait for any of them to sell me off. Hearing that dad had the intention of using me to offset his debt and that Manny and Ted were even in on it shattered my heart. I couldn’t confront Manny about what I overheard, or even force him into explaining what he meant by those words, but the words didn’t sit well with my spirit. I couldn’t ask Dad about it either, because it dawned on me that I had been living a lie for the longest time. I had gone into the storm room and cried regrettably for hours, and after that, I had begun checking sites for jobs online.I spent the entire night looking for urgent recruitments.I knew that I would have to get a job to support myself ahd the triplets when they eventual

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia’s heart did a flip-flop at Syrus’s declaration; she hadn’t expected him to say what he just said.“Is that the bone of contention now?” Nancy rose to Georgia’s defense.Neither Syrus nor Nancy knew but Georgia had instantly began to shake inside at Syrus’s declaration. She knew that she would have to be prepared, because now that she had placed herself in this position, she would have to go through it till the very end. She could not back out now. She could not risk anyone finding out that she was lying, because not only would it affect her career, the Vale family would never have anything to do with her. That would be two losses, and she could not afford that.“Mum, please stay out of this,” Syrus said angrily.His words seemed to have gotten Nancy more upset as she leaped to her feet in a fit of rage.“I have stayed out of your life way too long and that is why we are in this mess in the first place!” Nancy blew hot.“What are you talking about?” Syrus asked.G

    Syrus’s POVSyrus paced about the living room boiling with rage. Davis stood close to one of the couches, confused. He did not know whether to sit, although he would very much like to, but then again, he had no idea if it would aggravate Syrus. Syrus had made him come to the house as well after the saga at the office. This was part of the scenarios that Davis always liked to avoid, because in situations like these, especially when he was dealing with a man like Syrus Vale, it would never end up well.Then Nancy sat in the living room, her expression unreadable as she watched Syrus walk about and boil with rage.“That son of a bloody bastard!” Syrus bellowed. “How dare he? As a result of what he had done, I have lost the one contract that meant the world to me!” Syrus continued to blow hot.Davis was quiet, because he did not know what to say, and at the same time, he did not want to say the wrong things. With how angered Syrus Vale appeared to be, he could fire Davis in a heartbeat,
