IVY“Are we going to ever have anything decent to eat in here?” I snarled at the server as the mashed potatoes landed on my plate.This was just frustrating.If I had other options, I honestly wouldn’t be eating the crap they kept serving in this facility.“Stop complaining,” she told me.“I never did, but this is just tiring. How do you expect the patients to get well when you don’t serve what you should?” I fired at her.“Maybe if you took your medication seriously, you would be out of here,” she barked at me as well.I looked at her, wishing I could so something terrible to her, like smash her head against the wall, but that would only make my situation worse, so sucked my teeth, and then turned and walked away.I sat down and tried to eat, but I was having difficulty eating much.I couldn’t help but recall when I still had the freedom and luxury, and life was good. There were chefs who prepared exotic meals in the home, and if that wasn’t happening, I was visiting luxurious and ex

ALEXAAfter my brief conversation with Vector, which left me rather uncomfortable, I stayed off Mark’s path. I realized that Mark was in my dad’s suite, and I ensured to stay away until he left before I proceeded to see my dad. I didn’t want to come face to face with Mark. At least, not at that moment. Granted, I would be seeing more of his face in the next couple of days, but now that I had the chance not to, I took it.This would be the first time in a really long time that I would be this close to Mark. The last time we were this close and seeing each other this regularly was when we were still married.I shook off the thought as I folded my last dress into my box and zipped it up.There was no need reopening cans of worms. Last night, I had spent some time with my dad, and that was after acquainting myself with his personal nurse, the one that Mark had arranged for him. I knew that Clara would have to see him sooner or later, especially now that I would be away, but my mind was

ALEXAWith everything sorted and cleared out, I got some groceries on my way to the hospital.My dad already had enough, but for me, he couldn’t have enough, so I got him everything I could think of. I felt more at ease knowing that even in my absence, he would be well taken care of, and with that, I could pass the night at my apartment so that I would be able to wake up with a good enough energy. This wasn’t because of Mark. It was so that I would be energized to do the needful when we arrived there.“It’s all work,” I had to remind myself.I had packed up everything that Eva made for me, and well, a few other new clothing I had gotten from the tour but never had any reason to wear, and they were vanity lace thongs.Lots of them.Again, I had to remind myself that it was nothing but work, but then again, I just couldn’t resist it. They had been sitting in my wardrobe since I got back from the tour, and I just felt like this was a good reason to use them, especially when Gina mentio

MARKAfter I had done all that I needed to do, I felt relieved and fulfilled.It was already getting late in the evening, and I wanted to finish up everything before returning to my house and having a good night’s rest so that I could be better prepared for the trip in the morning.“It’s happening!” I said to myself with satisfaction.Donald Shell had wanted to ruin things for me like he always did, but then, thankfully, I had Brent, who knew just the right thing to do and the right channel to use.Brent had told me that as long as I was right and there was a footage, I needn’t have to worry. If Donald wanted to contend it, the court would ask him to provide a footage, and so far, I hadn’t heard any roaring or barking from Donald.Even if he came up with witnesses; paying those that worked with him and were present to testify against him, I also had a witness, so he knew that he had lost on all sides. I really wished that I was this smart and sensitive with Oscar’s case. If I had bee

ALEXANoelle and I spent the rest of the day working on things that needed to be sorted out before leaving.“I still need to go and check up on my dad when I leave here,” I told Noelle after checking the time and seeing that it was getting late.“Are you going to be spending the night there?” She asked.“I haven’t decided yet,” I answered.There was still the issue of getting someone that needed to be with my dad all the time. Mark did say that he would handle it, but I would be a fool to actually trust that he would. Mark had disappointed me a couple of times, and more importantly, I didn’t want him to think that I was actually relying on him.However, I didn’t explain that part to Noelle.“You haven’t said what you are going to do about Mark’s purchase,” Noelle reminded me carefully.She had broached the subject earlier, but I brushed it off.“Right now, Noelle, I am not thinking about that,” I said. “It’s just clothes which I was going to sell out anyway,” I said.“And you are not

ALEXAGina’s reaction made me realize that perhaps, Noelle hadn’t been bluffing all this time. This wasn’t to say that I already believed Noelle, but there had to be something to Gina’s reaction when she heard about the actress, Lina Barry.However, I didn’t want to bother about it, so I left her and went to my store.“Welcome, Miss Alexa,” my secretary greeted. “It feels like you have been away for ages,” she teased.“I feel like I have been away for long too,” I said.The moment I walked in, I felt as though I had walked into my home. This was my business. My home. My hard work. My legacy.Even though my dad’s company had been bequeathed to me, it would never feel like this, and that was because I started this from scratch. I would not be continuing from where anyone stopped, and this made me realize that this was my identity.And I felt immensely proud of it.I had been happy about my business, but right now, I felt deeply proud, and I couldn’t even express it. The feeling was too

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. I was jus

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
