The Audacity

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-09 21:09:01

Vivian’s POV

I 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

    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

    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

    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!   Putting Plans To Actions

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia could not get over Nancy words. She had never thought of it like that. However Nancy’s words drew Georgia back to a painful past that she was trying so hard to get rid of. It had been the most traumatic experience of her life, one that she kept buried in her past forever, and if she had known that she would be in this position, she would have lived a better life.Years ago, when Georgia was living wild and being completely nonchalant and carefree about her life, she had gotten herself involved in something terribly bad that she could not admit it to anyone, except one person who unfortunately knew about it; her mother. After it had happened, Georgia had gone to the hospital for a proper check up in a hospital that she was sure no one she knew had ever frequented the hospital.“What is it?” Georgia had asked with apprehension as the doctor walked up to Georgia with the test result in his hand.“The result isn’t good, I’m afraid,” he had said with a forlorn expressi

    Vivian’s POV“You are definitely wearing this dress,” Belinda said and tossed a red dress at me.I could not believe that she brought out that dress from my wardrobe. I took the dress and stared at it; it was a red dress with tiny hand straps low v-cut at the back, and a long slit.“How did this dress get here?” I asked Belinda.“Are you kidding?” Belinda asked as she stared at me like something was wrong with me. “Were you drunk when I picked this dress at the boutique the other day?” Belinda asked giggling.“You did?” I asked her. In truth, I had no idea that she had picked the dress, because the entire time, I was reminiscing on what had happened with Georgia and I just let Belinda do the shopping for me.“Gosh, you are a sorry case,” Belinda teased.“Belinda, we are having a co-parent meeting as arranged by the hospital, that’s all. It is not a date,” I tried to remind Belinda even though I already knew that it was a complete waste of time.“If they didn’t want it to be a date, wh

    Vivian’s POVI sat in a cab and wondered if Syrus would fall for Belinda’s crazy idea. Left to me, I would have gone without making an effort, but then, again it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get Syrus jealous after treating me like I meant nothing at all to him.My phone rang and when I checked the caller ID; it was Syrus. I wondered why he was calling me. If it was to cancel, it would really break my heart after all the effort I put into getting dressed. I took out a tiny mirror from my purse and stared at my reflection again. I could not deny that Belinda did an outstanding job on my face, and involuntarily, my mind drifted towards Georgia, and I started to wonder if Syrus would still think Georgia was finer and hotter than I was.“No, Vivian, you shouldn’t be doing this,” I shook my head and said to myself. “You are beautiful and enough and Syrus was the wrong man for you, that was why he couldn’t value you,” I told myself.Then I focused more on the beauty that Belinda had made of my

    Vivian’s POV“Why would you call me that?” I asked breathlessly. Hearing Syrus call me “Viv” just brought a whole lot of unpleasant memories. It made me recall all the times we were good together even though it was fleeting, and because I didn’t see it coming, my breath got stuck in my throat for a minute.Syrus cleared his throat as though he had made a mistake. “I shouldn’t have,” he said instead.I sighed and let it slide, reminding myself that this was not a romantic date no matter how stunning I looked, and I should not take anything of Syrus seriously. He had me once and he had lost me. According to Belinda, never give a man the chance to treat you badly twice.“It’s fine. Let us get to why we are here,” I told Syrus.Suddenly, the urge to get through with it and leave Syrus’s presence became overwhelming. We began to talk about what we wanted for our babies and the kind of parenting that would suit us both. Like we had been advised, we talked about things that would work for u

    Syrus’s POVSyrus had paid Anderson’s family a visit after the heartbreaking news of his passing. He had been thoroughly devastated by the news, especially because he didn’t get enough time with Anderson to tell him what he needed to know.“You died without explaining to me the issue with my parents, and what exactly to do with Ken,” Syrus said, as though Anderson was right in front of him. Syrus didn’t tell his mum, because he knew that she never liked the man, but he had stayed in his room and wept. That was the closest thing to a father that Syrus ever had, and it pained him deeply that he didn’t even give Anderson enough of his time. After Anderson fell ill and couldn’t continue working at the company, Syrus had simply never paid him a visit. Yes, he had been completely financially responsible for Anderson, but that had been it, and now, Syrus regretted it deeply. He wished his only time of visiting Anderson was the only time. He wished he had actually taken out time to visit And

    Georgia’s POV“…your contract with this TV show is over.”Georgia kept hearing those words in her head as she headed out of the venue. She could not believe her ears. It was as though she was hearing a weird sound in her ears.“Just like that, they have kicked me out,” Georgia asked as she booked a cab. “I seriously need to get Syrus to buy me a bloody car, and fast!” Georgia said in between.She felt used and tossed like a piece of trash. She never knew about this policy about TV shows and their stars. All along, Georgia had simply thought that a contract was all she needed, but it was obvious that that wasn’t the case. “I should have done everything possible to keep Brenda there,” Georgia said to herself angrily.More realization began to dawn on her; as a star, one of the things about her career is that once one TV show drops a star, the others who had already signed a contract might likely also drop the star. Being in the business for this long had made Georgia realize that most

    Georgia’s POVAfter Georgia managed to get Nancy out of her apartment by lying, as usual, she pondered on a lot of things.Somehow, deep inside, Georgia knew that if she did not take hold of things, Syrus and his family would find a way to get out of her hook. Regardless of what Georgia now knew about Syrus, she also could not neglect the fact that Syrus held some power and influence in the country. If it had been easy, Ken would have come out with the truth already. Georgia wasn’t stupid; she had been in the streets and playing this game for as long as she could possibly remember, and she knew that if one wasn’t careful, even she and Ken would not be able to take down Syrus.Besides, Georgia had no motive to run Syrus down; if she did, how would she get the life she had envisioned? Georgia was too invested in the family of Vale to begin her strategy all over again with another wealthy and influential family. She knew how the system worked, and if Georgia wasn’t careful, if she wasn’

    Georgia’s POVThis was the first time that Georgia was standing right in front of Nancy and she was not just speechless, but she was also feeling uncomfortable. “Can I come in?” Nancy asked in an icy cold voice.Georgia cleared her throat and said, “Yes, of course.”Then she moved out of the way for Nancy to come in. Georgia could not stop wondering how Nancy managed to know where she now lived. She remembered that the last time they spoke, she hadn’t made mention of any house, and the fact that Nancy was right here, uninvited by Georgia and her look of displeasure was a clear enough indication that this wasn’t a case of peaceful visitation. Georgia watched Nancy enter slowly into the living room and looked around, and because Nancy’s back was back facing Georgia, she could not exactly tell Nancy’s reaction or emotions. Was she upset? Was she enraged? Was she aggravated? Georgia could not tell.“This is quite a lot,” Nancy said, her voice sounding bland.Georgia was almost tempted t

    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

    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“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

    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
