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

    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

At first, it seemed as though I wanted to regret leaving the apartment, but then again, my self-worth and dignity which Syrus had destroyed over and over again were on the line. I knew that without Syrus Vale and his financial support, I could take care of myself and my babies, especially now that it seemed as though my family had accepted me now.Well, except for Ted.The last time that I had seen him was when he appeared at my door and warned me to stay quiet about the pictures that I had seen, and I noticed that he had locked up the room. I couldn’t say a word of it to dad or Manny, but I couldn’t just let it slide as though I didn’t see anything as disturbing as that. For now, I was more bothered about my predicament with Syrus and the recent development with Georgia to worry so much about Ted, after all, he was free and back home now.

    Georgia’s POV“You need to get him to marry you.”Those were the firm words of Nancy that kept tugging at Georgia’s heartstrings. For the first time, Georgia highly respected Nancy, because she was a woman who got everything she wanted, and at last, her son turned out to be the CEO of Vale company. Georgia had wanted to leave, but Nancy insisted she slept over. “You are family now,” Nancy had said. “Begin to act like it.”Georgia had been ecstatic that she was already accepted by Nancy and Bonnie, and she knew that it would not take much for her to get Syrus to accept her too. She had to act up and claim what was supposed to be hers, but Georgia did not end up like her. Nancy did manage to get Syrus’s father to marry her and even had two children for him, but at the end of the day, he still left her to be with the same woman he had loved from the very beginning. Nancy did not exactly say that, but Georgia knew from the way Nancy told the story to her that she knew that Syrus’s father

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia could hardly contain the joy in her heart when Syrus told those representatives that things were officially between them, and she was more than certain that the bloggers around definitely got that information. Georgia had never been happier in her entire life!The party lasted for another hour and Syrus was able to seal the deal, but the moment the guests dispersed, Syrus entered into his car and drove out of the house.“Ignore him,” Nancy told Georgia as they made their way to the living room. “He can only sulk like a child, but what is done is done,” Nancy added.Soon, they settled into the couch in the living room beside each other. Georgia could not tell where Bonnie was, but she did not care much. Somehow, this was just a moment between she and Nancy.“Thank you for this party, Nancy. It was amazing,” Georgia said and meant it.“You belong here now, Georgia,” Nancy said in response to Georgia’s appreciation, making Georgia’s heart melt.“I love all of this,

    Syrus’s POVSyrus plastered a smile on his face and went to join everyone else at the party. It was obvious that everyone was enjoying themselves except Syrus. The only thing he wanted right now was to ensure that Vivian had not fallen into the hands of Ken a second time.Nancy started by giving the opening speech. “I want to thank you all for honoring our invitation even though it was on a short notice. I am Nancy Vale as you all know, and this is the first grandchild that my son, Syrus Vale is producing,” Nancy began.Syrus ground his teeth in annoyance. Unfortunately, he could not correct his mother’s statement while she was making her speech, and he had to smile through the godforsaken lie. He had told his mother countless times that Vivian’s babies were his, but somehow, she adamantly refused to accept it, and she chose to drop that announcement right in front of everyone that mattered, and in a situation when Syrus could neither correct nor stop her. There were a few confused st

    Syrus’s POVSyrus would give anything to be anywhere else other than at this godforsaken party, but his mother had threatened him and forced him to be here, so now he had to put on a fake smile and pretend to be happy.When they arrived at the party in their home garden, Syrus was surprised at the guests his mother had invited in just a few hours. Worse, they were men that Syrus highly respected.“My mother has finished me,” Syrus muttered to himself.There was no way he would be able to act otherwise in front of these people. Syrus was growing increasingly up, and his cheeks were beginning to hurt him from displaying fake smiles. Syrus came out of the mansion with his mother and sister behind, while Georgia clung to his side, holding his hands. There were cameras flashing at them, almost blinding Syrus, and still, he could not frown or show that he was greatly displeased by any of these. After he had managed to endure all that, Syrus managed to pull his mother away while Georgia cont

    Vivian’s POVTed’s voice almost sent my heart flying out of my body, especially when he talked about someone going through his things. I actually thought I placed the pictures the exact same way I saw them, or maybe I got them wrongly.Ted was matching to Dad’s bedroom but I guess he got stopped by Manny, because all of a sudden, his angry footsteps stopped, and although I didn’t hear what Manny said, I heard his voice say something to Ted, and Ted exploded.“She is here?!” Ted yelled at the top of his voice.It was obvious that he was referring to me, and my heart broke that Ted was still very upset with me. Manny had stopped resenting me, at least, and Dad seemed like he had forgiven me, but not Ted, and I wondered why; he was free now, so what could be the problem?“Why is she here? She is going to cause more trouble for us!” Ted could not stop yelling.The more he talked, the scarier and more uncomfortable I became, and it was evident in my actions, because each time he bellowed,

    Georgia’s POVGeorgia arrived at the Vale’s residence and was pleasantly surprised by the “little” party that Nancy had said they were throwing for her. A few guests had already begun to arrive, but Georgia did not want to go straight to the family garden. She knew that the party would not begin without her, so she already knew that Nancy and Bonnie were probably still in the house. Besides, they would have hired party planners to get things done while they stayed in the house and got ready for the small party. From the few guests that Georgia saw arrive, she could already tell that they were not people of the middle class. Georgia was not surprised, because the Vale family were an elite family in the country, so it was expected that their acquaintances would be of the elite social grouping also. “They are upstairs, and they have been expecting you,” one of their recently hired domestic workers said to Georgia the moment Georgia entered the living room.Georgia knew that she was ref

    Vivian’s POVMy hands have literally been shaking since I saw those pictures. First of all, one of them was the picture that was placed on Jane’s body after she was killed, and the second one showed that Ted also knew the man, not just Jane alone. In the picture, Ted held Jane tightly and lovingly; anyone could see that they were romantically involved, and this man stood by both of them as all of them smiled into the camera. They looked happy in the picture, and they also looked closely acquainted.I became bothered and my heart began to beat rapidly. As I looked at the pictures, my hands began to shake; there was something about the pictures that unnerved me, because it was obvious that Ted knew him, because it was the same man that released Ted to us when we went to pick him up after paying for his release. Different thoughts ran through my head and I could not even wrap my head around everything that was going on. Ted definitely had some explaining to do to me! Thinking about Jane

Georgia picked without hesitation.“Georgia!” Nancy’s excited voice boomed over the receiver; it was so infectious that Georgia had to also smile.“Nancy, I should have called, but I got carried away with work…” Georgia began to lie, because she knew that from the sound of Nancy’s voice, she was calling about the news of her pregnancy that was making the rounds on social media.“Say no more!” Nancy said, cutting Georgia off. “I am not happy that I had to find out about my grand baby on the blogs, but my heart has been filled with joy,” Nancy said, bubbling with excitement.Georgia did everything on purpose, and after she called someone she knew to post the story, she knew the reaction that she expected. Georgia was always right on everything, especially when she knew that it would benefit her. “Oh Nancy, you make me smile,” Georgia said, and for the first time, she was being honest.“You remember t
