Mr. CEO We're Done! You Messed Things Up!
Syrus’s POVSyrus went back to his office, leaving strict warnings to his secretary not to let anyone into his office.Then Syrus soaked himself in grief.Vivian’s father had hit him where it hurt the most. Syrus remembered the first time he had realized his father’s absence; he had eavesdropped on his parent’s argument without his knowledge.“Are you going to keep doing this?! What about Syrus and Bonnie? How do I keep making excuses for you?!” Nancy had yelled at Syrus’s extremely absent father.Growing up, Syrus had barely seen his father. He and Bonnie only saw him once a year, or twice if he was being generous to them. “I don’t care what you want to tell them, Nancy!” His father had bellowed angrily.Syrus had been shocked and hurt. Their mother had told them constantly that their father could not attend their school parties, prom, school games, birthdays, because he was extremely busy with building the company, and she had made them understand that it was necessary that their f

Vivian’s POVAs I sat across from Ken on the table, I asked myself how I got entangled in all of these.“Would you like some cheese and eggs?” Ken asked with a smile. “They are definitely good for you, especially for the babies,” Ken said, and without waiting for my response, he turned to the waitress standing by and said, “Kindly get two plates of cheese and eggs, and lukewarm glasses of water for us.”“Coming right up,” she said and left.Ken turned to me. “Does she remind you of Jane?” He asked.I shook my head, unwilling to indulge in the conversation. The last thing I wanted was to be here with Doctor Ken, having lunch. Surprisingly, Lori had come to me with a flowing gown that had rose petals all over, and yapping about Ken, her cousin.“I am so delighted that Ken seems to have developed some sort of interest in you,” Lori had said as she pushed the dress gently to me. “He has been way too single for long, and that needs to change,” she had said with a girly giggle. It was the f

Vivian’s POVIt was as though I was dreaming, because what kind of conversation was I having with my supposed doctor? How did I get into this mess? I definitely did not do anything to deserve this! All I had done had been to get registered just like every other pregnant woman, so this just doesn’t make any sense to me.“What do you know about me?” I asked, my heart beating rapidly. Somehow, I was scared of what Ken would say. I know I had met a couple of tricky and bad people; Georgia was one of them, but this was on a different level, and to think that I just walked right into it.“I know that you are the ex-wife of Syrus Vale, who is still very much alive,” Ken divulged.My mouth fell open in shock.“How did you know?” I asked Ken, shocked to my very core. This was a random meeting, not planned, right? Lori could not have set me up like this. She did not strike me as someone who was capable of doing such, besides, she had given me a harmless recommendation, so how did Ken know? “I

Georgia’s POVGeorgia waited for Jessica to arrive before she would leave for her interview. It was in two hour’s time, and if Jessica made it to her hotel room in time, then she would be able to meet up with her appointment.Georgia had been staying in the hotel discreetly since she left Syrus’s house. She did not want to return to her aggrieved and bitter mother, because she knew that somehow, her mother would know that her ploy to get Syrus in bed again was futile.But thankfully, she had Syrus’s mother’s so she really does not need her mother’s negative energy. However, Georgia was gradually running low on cash.“Thank goodness for this interview that I have been able to secure,” Georgia told herself. This was a big show, and after she was done, she would be paid a handsome fee; that was what basically excited Georgia, not that she gave a damn about the bloody show. Once she gets her fee, she would be able to pay for a few more days at the hotel, while she also lobbied for anothe

Vivian’s POVI returned to the room restless, agitated, and more disoriented.I thought of avoiding Ken, but I could only achieve that when I leave the town, and that would be highly impossible seeing that Jane’s death is still under thorough investigation.I was desperate to know how Ken got to find out secrets about me, because he refused to divulge. I wasn’t even answering Syrus’s name, so did his investigation lead him to Syrus? There were questions running through my head that I needed answers to. Questions like why did Ken pick me out of all his patients to get close to. He was an attractive, good-looking young man who could get any woman he wanted, so why me, a pregnant, lonely woman who waits tables at a small coffee shop?I left my room and went over to the coffee shop. Deep down, I had the feeling that Lori was involved in all of these. Deep down, I knew that Lori knew something, because she was the one who directed me to her so-called cousin’s hospital. She had also been th

Georgia’s POVGeorgia paced around her hotel room as she dialed Syrus’s cell number over and over again. She needed to do something really fast, otherwise this juicy deal would slip through her fingers, and on the other hand, if she is dropped by the show, the whole world would know, and it would be disastrous for her.“Pick your damn phone, Syrus!” Georgia yelled in frustration, almost smashing her phone on the wall. She was growing increasingly frustrated, because she had little or no time. If she could not get Syrus to join her in the interview as her partner, just as she had labeled him to be, then she would be dropped like a piece of old meat.And if that happens, Georgia’s career, the same one she had built with blood and sweat would take a downward turn, and that would be the end of her, and her godforsaken mother would laugh her to ruin.Georgia would rather die than let that happen,She continued to dial Syrus’s number. “Please, Syrus, pick up the phone!” Georgia begged eve

Georgia’s POV“Excuse me, but my money only expired a few hours ago,” Georgia said, her heart pounding slightly.This was obviously not good at all, because she did not have a dime with her, and this could get dirty if it ever gets out.“According to the policy of our hotel, you are either to renew payment or face eviction thirty minutes after expiry, and Miss Georgia, you have way exceeded that limit,” one of them said.“Can you give me a couple of minutes? I promise to pay up,” Georgia pleaded, even though she did not have anyone in mind that would give her any money, but she just needed them to give her some space so that she could think and act fast.This was certainly not good for her career.If Georgia knew that they upheld such a strict policy, she would not have lodged here in the first place. When Georgia moved into the hotel some days back, and she had been given their policy booklet to read, she had only flipped through without actually reading it, because she had felt that

Georgia’s POV“Ma’am, you need to leave the premises,” one of the hotel managers said, bringing Georgia out of her thoughts.She really had to do something, and she was trying to think of what to do really fast, because these people were not bluffing, and they might throw her out at any moment. Should Georgia go out there like this, the bloggers would eat her up mercilessly.“Ugh, my head!” Georgia threw her hand to her head, feigning a migraine.“What is it?” One of the managers asked, concern masking his voice. “Is everything okay?”Instead of answering, Georgia acted as though she was suffering from dizziness as a result of the migraine and she staggered backwards, almost collapsing to the ground, but one of the security guards swung into action immediately. He grabbed Georgia gently before she could fall to the ground and led her to the couch at the reception.“Get her some painkillers and water!” One of the hotel managers barked.The others dispersed immediately, rushing to get

Mr. CEO We're Done! When Love Falls Into Place!
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! The Planners Of Love!
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! A Love Worth Having
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! Fight For Love And Forgiveness
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! Water Under The Bridge
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. I was jus
Mr. CEO We're Done! Finally Set Free!
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! Ugly Realization
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! The Cat Is Finally Out Of The Bag!
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
Mr. CEO We're Done! Father And Son Mistake
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
