Georgia’s POV“What are you talking about?” Georgia asked Ken. “What common thing could we possibly have?” Georgia asked him.Ken walked around the living room slowly instead, gazing around and taking in the beauty and luxury of her living room, making Georgia slightly uncomfortable, and she began to wonder if she hadn’t made a mistake letting him in.“You haven’t answered my question,” Georgia said as she began to think quickly about what she could possibly lay her hands on with immediate alacrity, knowing that the tale about having emergency number on speed dial and working cameras were lies.“I will answer it, but I think we need to get to know each other better,” Ken said as his hand carefully caressed Georgia’s leather couch. “Your interior is breathtaking. I must commend that you have an eye for good taste,” Ken complimented slowly.He was gradually bidding his time and slowly building the bridge. He knew what he came here to accomplish, and he also knew that the only way to go
Georgia’s POV“Tell me everything I need to know,” Georgia said to Ken.She could barely contain her glee for this useful information. Before now, Georgia had wished that she knew something ugly and dirty about Syrus, his family, or the family’s company, so that should Syrus make an attempt to leave her after his family had publicly paraded her as their chosen daughter-in-law, she would have something to hold them by. She had tried to find something, but nothing was forthcoming. Albeit, Georgia just knew that there had to be something. She had been in this game long enough to know the ways of wealthy and powerful men, and she just knew…“At what cost?” Ken asked.Georgia was taken aback. He came to her willingly with information and claims that they had something in common, and now he was seeking something in return?Georgia scoffed. “So it’s now scratching my back, I scratch yours now? I never asked for this, Doctor Ken. You showed up at my house unannounced demanding for something i
Syrus’s POVSyrus got home, more exhausted than he had been. He was able to get Davis out of his hair. He already knew that he would not be able to tell anyone about what he was going through, and at the same time, he still hadn’t been able to come up with how to get the truth about what happened years ago with the Frenchman.“If only Anderson was kind enough to just tell me how to go about it easily without the hassles,” Syrus said to himself. He knew that Anderson would tell him if it was in his right to do so, but that did not change the fact that he wished Anderson had the solution to his problem, because there was no one else who knew about his past except Anderson, and of course, the slimy, sneaky Ken.Syrus got into the living room, and he was reminded of how he left the house and the issue with his mother. The living room seemed quiet and serene, and Syrus was hoping that he could just sneak into his bedroom and hide until the next day when he would leave for work, because h
Georgia’s POV“Things are always just effortlessly working out for me!” Georgia said in excitement.She didn’t even need to find a doctor that would do what she wanted to do; Ken had promised to help her through it, unlike her former doctor who was preaching honesty.“Well, maybe it is because I have labored too hard to get to where I am now, and everything is just falling into place now,” Georgia continued.She and Ken had spent about two extra hours making plans, and she could hardly believe that she was getting everything sorted out. All she needed to do now was find a way to fix the pregnancy test thing with Syrus, and then she would be able to get him to make things official with Syrus.Georgia couldn’t wait!The pregnancy solution wasn’t the only thing that kept Georgia in cloud nine since Ken left. The fact that she had his secret in her palm now made her very gleeful. Now, she could very well twist Syrus’s hand into doing her bidding, because from what she gathered with her co
Vivian's Pov"Bullshit!" I cursed from the bottom of my chest as I watched the TV. The news channel headlined "Top actress and supermodel Goergia see linking arms with CEO of Vale Tech - Syrus Vale." I threw the coffee mug I was holding shattering the television. I had seen these reports before, but this one hurt more.That good for nothing husband promised to come home for my birthday, yet here he was, not just late, but fooling around with another woman, not just any woman but his ex-fiance to boot. I was the one who married him in the end, but it never felt like Syrus left her behind.I looked at the dinner table, still set with candles and the meal I spent hours making. The cake I baked sat there, untouched, its frosting melting. My hand shook as I picked up my phone and saw a message. It was a photo from Georgia. She rested her head on Syrus’s shoulder while he smiled, a smile I hadn’t seen in years.My breath caught in my throat. I felt stupid for holding onto hope. My frie
Vivian's PovI didn’t take a single penny from the divorce settlement. Syrus scoffed as I walked away, probably thinking I was foolish for leaving behind the wealth and status his name came with. What he never understood was that I had never touched the money he gave me. I had supported myself all these years, refusing to depend on him for anything.When I returned to the mansion to collect the last of my things, I heard laughter from the living room. I paused, recognizing the voices of my mother-in-law, Nancy and Georgia.“She said she’s divorcing my son! As if that greedy woman would ever walk away from this family’s wealth,” my mother-in-law cackled.“It’s a shame,” Georgia added, her voice dripping with fake sympathy. “If things had been different, I might have been your daughter-in-law instead.”“Oh, don’t say that, dear. Vivian and Syrus were never a good match. You two would have been perfect together.”I pushed open the front door, and the two women on the couch went silent. A
Vivian's PovI stood there, watching the man I once loved display his blind devotion to Georgia, and I couldn’t help but question how I had been so foolish for so long. I felt no desire to linger in their twisted drama any longer. As I turned to leave with my belongings, Georgia’s voice stopped me.“I would never admit to something I didn’t do! Why can’t you believe me? Do you really think I ruined your marriage out of spite? I’ve barely been around you two. I’m only here to film a movie. Why must you target me?”Though she spoke to the room, her words were clearly aimed at me. I almost laughed at how ridiculous this family had become—one fool blindly in love, another conniving for personal gain, and Syrus, seething with misplaced hatred, ready to lash out at me any second.Syrus turned to me, venom dripping from his voice. “If you didn’t set this up, then who did? Who else would go after Georgia like this, besides you?”I sighed, too tired for this nonsense. I addressed Georgia direct
Vivian's PovTwo hours later, Georgia emerged from surgery, and the doctor’s awkward expression caught my eye.Syrus, absorbed in concern for Georgia, didn’t seem to notice. “How is she? Will she be okay?”The doctor cleared his throat. “Her injuries weren’t severe. We’ve stitched the cuts and are running some tests as a precaution. She should stay overnight for observation, but she’ll be fine.”I couldn’t help but smirk to myself. Just as I suspected, the whole ordeal had been blown out of proportion. The medical staff seemed embarrassed by the fuss, dragging out the process to cover up how minor it really was.Syrus, relieved, hurried after Georgia’s stretcher. He didn’t spare me a single glance. I watched him go, a deep ache spreading through my chest. The man I had loved for so long didn’t even see me anymore. I wanted to scream, but I stayed silent, letting the grief settle over me.My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I froze when I saw the name on the screen. I let it go to voicema

Georgia’s POVGeorgia knew that she could not hide away from the Vale’s family. Actually, she even had no intentions to hide; she wanted to be a part of the family fully, for stability, fame, money, and power. Georgia just needed to get some of her things fixed up at the moment.When she got mistakenly hit and the call ended, Brenda did not call her back to even apologize for the way she spoke to Georgia.“I am going to teach her a lesson she will never forget,” Georgia told herself.She had a meeting at the show later that week, and she intended to deal thoroughly with Brenda. Georgia was already on her way to the top, and she intended to use her power to the fullest. When she was struggling to get to the top, she was treated harshly and cruelly by wealthy and powerful people. Now that it was getting to Georgia’s turn, she intended to be just as ruthless and merciless to those beneath her, or more.Georgia was interrupted when she heard a knock on her door. She had been back from h
Syrus’s POV“Excuse me, Mr. Syrus, your lawyer is here to see you,” Syrus’s secretary informed him.“But I don’t have any appointment with him,” Syrus said.“Should I tell him to book an appointment for another day?” His secretary asked him.“Just send him in,” Syrus said. What was the point of asking Davis to leave when he had already gotten to his office.Syrus arrived at work earlier than most of his staff members, because after his mother pushed him out of her room, he just went into his bathroom, got dressed, and left the house. Besides, he also needed to show up at work and continue with his job. He hadn’t come to the company since the scandal, and he knew that he could not run away forever, or just wait around for Ken to drop the bomb that would explode his life. Since Syrus got to the office, he had hardly done anything, because his mind had been reeling with different thoughts. He was more confused than ever before; Anderson would not tell him what he needed to hear, and his
Georgia’s POVGeorgia arrived back in town late last night using a VIP flight, and she had just gone over to her apartment and had a good rest.The tour had lasted for only a few days, although Georgia had wished that she had stayed longer, maybe like a week, because the thought of coming back to face Syrus and his demand was just something she was not in the mood to handle right now.Pictures and videos from her tours had been circulating the internet, and while on tour, Georgia had gotten a call from an equally high class TV show wanting to strike a contract, which came with TV shows and a tour to four different countries, along with juicy incentives and publicity. The money they offered was something that Georgia had never been offered before, and she almost screamed her head off after the call.“I am a fucking rich star!” Georgia has squealed in her hotel room.Then she had ordered the most expensive wine in the hotel, bills on the TV show of course, and she had celebrated her suc
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
