MARK“Mr. Mark, good morning,” Reyna greeted with a smile.She was oblivious to the rising tension in our midst, and that was a very good thing because we needed something or someone that would make the atmosphere better.This was even far from what a wedding was supposed to look like. The hostility already building in the air made it worse.As a man of my status in Paris, I had attended a lot of prestigious wedding. It was really embarrassing to me and to the Ronaldo family that this was how I was getting married...for the second time, damn it.No press, all the men that mattered in the city was absent, no wedding reception, no honeymoon...absolutely nothing!All thanks to Alexa, and with how displeased I was right now, I didn’t think I would be able to forgive Alexa for making me lose something that mattered most to me.“Reyna, how are you?” I asked her, shaking the thought off my head so that I wouldn’t appear as upset as I was getting.“Very well, sir, and congratulations on your

MARKVector and I arrived at the church early enough. Noelle, Shirley, and Reyna were already there and there were a few flowers to adorn it.“This church is too freaking small,” I said under my breath to Vector as we made our way into the church to meet with the women. “I know it is what Alexa wanted. I wouldn’t have felt bad about it if there would have been a reception afterwards,” I added.I could barely control the anger that was rising inside my chest.“Remember what we talked about, Mark,” Vector said.No, I hadn’t forgotten about it, but it didn’t make me feel any better.“I know, Vector, but this is a wedding, and it is not something I am going to do after now,” I grumbled and Vector understood what I was talking about.It wasn’t as though it was a birthday celebration that could be done better the next year. For the second time, I was getting married, but somehow, I just couldn’t get what I wanted.“Would you rather have a lavish wedding and not have Alexa at all?” Vector as

ALEXAIn a few hours, Mark and I would be married again.The thought woke me up this morning and till now, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I still had about an hour and some minutes to get dressed. The address Shirley sent to me wasn’t far away from the house.In ten to fifteen minutes, I should arrive there.Why didn’t I feel the need to get dressed?On my bed were Noelle’s wedding dress gift and my mum’s wedding dress, both staring at me and my heart trying to decide which of them I should wear.My mum’s dress would be tight because of the bump; she wasn’t pregnant when she got married to my dad, but Noelle’s dress would fit absolutely well. Still, there was still the dilemma and the tugging in my heart, telling me that I was doing the wrong thing.I was giving Mark Ronaldo the power to have control over my life again.He did for five years and I lived in misery. Only a foolish person would agree to take that path again. It was even worse now because someone else was also pregnan

IVY“Finally, she comes out,” Lina Barry said, sipping from a cup of coffee.She was drinking my coffee.Jack must have made it for her, and from all indication, it was obvious that Jack had gone out as he always did.I had no idea where Lina Barry slept or how she managed. After storming into the room and locking the door, no one had bothered to disturb me about opening it, and maybe I should feel relieved for it.I just didn’t like how comfortable Lina Barry seemed to be getting already, especially after her reaction last night.Lina Barry still looked very thin and sickly, but then again, the anger and hostility in her eyes seemed to have disappeared.“Good morning, Ivy,” Lina Barry greeted when I didn’t respond to what she said earlier.Still, I didn’t respond to her.Instead, I went over to the small kitchen, and that was when I noticed that Jack had also made me a steaming cup of coffee. All I needed to do was pour it in and start to drink. Nevertheless, it didn’t make me feel b

MARKA knock on my bedroom door woke me up, and the first thought that came to my head was that Mona had come again to try her luck.I groaned in exasperation.When would she leave me alone?But it wasn’t Mona. The door pushed open and it was Vector.“I can’t believe that you are still sleeping at this time,” Vector said.He went over to my window and drew out the curtains, letting the daylight into my room and straight into my eyes.“Ugh, Vector!” I groaned some more.Then I got off the bed and reached for my phone, but to my surprise, it wasn’t even seven in the morning yet.“Come on, Vector, the wedding isn’t supposed to hold until nine,” I grumbled.“Do you want to get there at nine?” Vector asked, taking a seat in my bedroom couch.I could see that he was dressed in a new pair of suit. Just as I was about to speak, Reyna called me.“Well, it seems you all are determined to keep me up this early,” I murmured before taking the call.The day before had been a whole lot for me, and e

IVYI was expecting some form of excitement from Lina Barry, being that I was doing what she wanted me to do, which was get her out when I got out, but I was wrong.For a moment, I thought I had made a mistake coming from her because of the strong coldness in her eyes.“Lina,” I called again. “It’s me, Ivy, and I have come to get you out,” I explained the situation as though she didn’t understand it.“You have been released for weeks, Ivy,” Lina Barry said tightly.Was she upset?What freaking right did she have to be upset? I was doing her a favor, it wasn’t like I owed her anything. Lina Barry should be grateful that I was the reason she was finally getting out after spending years in the mental home.What was wrong with her?“Are you serious right now?” I asked Lina, barely able to keep my annoyance from showing. “I came to get you as soon as I could,” I said, my voice increasing.Drew decided to step in.“Hey, we need to get out of here first before you two start exchanging words,

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
