Time For Them To Know

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-13 22:46:49

Vivian’s POV

“Are you okay, Viv?” Marie asked later that night.

I winced at the sound of me being called “Viv,” because that was the name that only Syrus called me. However, Marie did not notice that I winced, and I was grateful for that, because then she would ask for an explanation, and I would not be able to tell her.

Unfortunately, I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about Mr. Vale’s decision to attend Anderson’s funeral in Syrus’s city. My mind had been going in different directions, and I allowed it to completely consume me, so much so that I didn’t even know that Marie had entered the kitchen. I was wiping the kitchen and doing some light cleaning before going to bed after dinner.

I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to Marie. “Yes, I am fine,” I said. I was only just troubled, but then again, I couldn’t tell her that.

“Are you sure? You have been acting weird, and I noticed that you didn’t eat as much as you usually do at dinner,” Marie observed.

I wondered how she managed

However, she had visited one of the other TV shows who had reached out to her about signing an even bigger contract, which came with some tours, a full season of screen time, and of course, a higher amount of money for being their star for the season. Georgia already decided that now that she had a better idea of how it worked, she would ensure that she bent the hands of the interviewer they would assign to her.“I am not going to make the mistake I made with Brenda,” Georgia had vowed to herself on her way there.Meanwhile, she was still going to ensure that Brenda paid for what she did; Georgia was never going to let anyone do her dirty and go scot free.When Georgia had arrived at the premises, she had been given a b

    Georgia’s POV“Come in; it’s very late,” Georgia said as she opened the door more widely for Syrus to come in.She could not wrap her head around what he was doing at her apartment in the middle of the night. This was so unlike Syrus.Anyway, Georgia shut the door and turned to Syrus who had already flopped on the chair tiredly.“Are you okay?” Georgia asked. “Should I get you a glass of wine?” Georgia asked with concern.“A glass of water would do. I think I might be a little patched,” Syrus answered.“I will be right back,” Georgia said and hurried into the kitchen. Then she came out a while later with a glass of water and handed it to Syrus who drank it thirstily. Watching him, Georgia was having a wave of mixed reactions and emotions. Just seeing him so vulnerable reminded her of a lot of things, like the ugly secret that he was hiding from the world that Ken told her about; it made Georgia feel like she had an edge over him. Then it also made Georgia remember the night that Syru

    Georgia’s POV“So who is it this time around?” Georgia asked as she looked at Syrus, sitting on her couch, with anger and spite.Yes, in this very moment, after recalling how he repeatedly broke her heart insensitively, she hated and despised Syrus Vale. If it wasn’t her need for him and his family fortune, she would have looked for a way to destroy Syrus long before now. She had put up with him for way too long, and it had made her hate him.Georgia hadn’t realized this until now. “Huh?” Syrus asked, lost on her question for a minute.Georgia smiled skillfully, sat close to him and rephrased her question. “You said you needed my help, so what is it?” Georgia wouldn’t even be surprised if he opened his mouth and told her that he had fallen in love with yet another woman. The thing with these rich and famous people was that they never cared for anyone else but themselves. They were very selfish. Georgia had never met anyone who was famous in this city, and came from a wealthy family

    Syrus’s POVI woke up feeling lighter than I was yesterday, all thanks to Georgia and her shoulders to always cry on.Last night had been the most devastating night I had ever witnessed, and in all honesty, I still woke up feeling sore, but it wasn’t as bad as it was yesterday, because of Georgia. The only person I could think to go to was Georgia, because she had always been there, and more importantly, Bonnie liked her so much that Georgia would not even need to prod for too long before she would get the information that Syrus needed. Syrus had two tasks; make sure Bonnie’s blackmailer never gets to torment anyone else again, and get to meet her boyfriend. Syrus was pained, but if he was someone that Bonnie truly cared about, and judging from what Syrus saw last night, he knew that there was something between them. So Syrus wanted to meet him personally so that he could give his protective rules over Bonnie, and also warn him to never ask Bonnie to sneak out again. Syrus would ensur

    Syrus’s POVThe moment Bonnie made that announcement, Syrus was downright relieved. It was as though a huge burden had been lifted from him.He had feared that Bonnie was going to hide him from Syrus, which was why he had rushed over to Georgia’s, but apparently, he had been wrong about his baby sister.If only he had waited…Anyway, Syrus concluded there and then that he would spare some time to spend with Bonnie so that he would know the person that he had grown up with all his life.“Congratulations,” Syrus said.“Yeah…congratulations,” Georgia also said, but Syrus noticed that there was a slight change in her voice.He turned to Georgia and asked quietly. “Are you okay?”Georgia seemed uneasy all of a sudden, and Syrus was trying to understand why, but before Georgia could respond to him, Bonnie chipped in.“Let’s head over to the bar and toast to it!” Bonnie said happily.Her joy was so palpable that for a minute, Syrus feared that he might be jealous of her.

She had only wanted to mention him to Syrus as the blackmailer, so that should Syrus decide to confirm from Bonnie, it would not fall back on her, just to teach him a good lesson, but now, she could not mention his name.“I should have acted faster than now. I should have done something before now,” Georgia grumbled to herself.She knew that as a smart woman, she should never ignore her instincts, and now, she was at a crossroad. She could not mention his name now a

  • Mr. CEO We're Done!   Found!

    Vivian’s POVI came out of my bedroom to go into the laundry room to do my laundry when I heard Mr. Vale and Marie talking. Usually, I shouldn’t be eavesdropping, knowing that it was wrong, but I just couldn’t resist it, especially when I heard what they were talking about.“I honestly don’t think going with me to Anderson’s funeral is wise,” Mr. Vale was saying. “I have been trying to tell you this since you informed me about your interest to come along, but you have refused to listen,” he added, sounding upset.This wasn’t just a conversation; it seemed like it was an argument and Mr. Vale sounded angry. This would be the first time I would overhear them sounding like this. They had always been the perfect lovebirds with laughter and love around them.“I am not going to let you dissuade me from coming along, and that is final,” I heard Marie respond stubbornly.“Nancy is most likely going to be there, as well as Syrus,” Mr. Vale stated, already exasperated.“Which is even the more

    Vivian’s POVMy heart skipped as we saw Marie, and it felt as though I was going to die at that moment. The horror in her eyes scared the hell out of me, and I knew instantly that they were going to get me kicked out.“You are Syrus’s ex-wife?” Marie asked.We had all been staring at each other in shock, so Marie had to still be the one to break the ice. If I had known that she was going to come out sooner, I would have never allowed us to have the conversation. Besides, I didn’t even know that this was what Diana wanted to talk about. In more ways than one, I just knew that I was very screwed.Diana and I got up; Diana had shock in her eyes while I was both still shocked and very scared to death. Marie seemed to be having a hard time breathing as it seemed as though she was now about to start panting. “I am so sorry, Marie,” was all I could even bring myself to say right now.There was no justification to what I had done, and what even made me more scared and worried was the fact th

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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
