ALEXAI had already decided that since the new office building had been successfully rented and decorated, I wanted us to move everything there so that we would have bigger space.“I am so happy!” My secretary bubbled with excitement. “This feels like a dream, because you started in less than half a year ago, and now, we are expanding!” She added happily.“It means more work and time requirement,” I reminded her.“I know that, and I am very prepared for it,” she responded with genuine enthusiasm.I didn’t mean to be a killjoy. I was supposed to be acting all excited, because this was a big change for me, and I was actually feeling happy deep inside, but I just couldn’t act that way outwardly.Maybe it was because in the last couple of days that had passed, I had avoided going to my dad’s company, or mine now, which I still felt was technically his, and more than that, Mark had been sending me emails but I just kept ignoring them, because I didn’t want to set eyes on him. His words sti

MARKI arrived at work really early because like I said before, I was more than determined to fix things around my company and bring it to the top.The receptionist had already been replaced by someone else from the company, which was simply relieving to me.I grabbed the intercom and dialed my secretary’s line.“Come into my office,” I told her.A few minutes later, she walked into my office.“You sent for me, sir,” she said.“Have you forwarded all I asked you to send to me?” I asked her, checking my computer. “I can’t find anything here,” I added.She had a skeptical and confused look on her face, but she didn’t answer the question.“I just asked you a question,” I stated firmly.“No, I haven’t been able to,” she responded.“And why is that?” I asked her, already getting upset. “I asked you to send everything that belonged to this company to me, all of them from Mr. Devon, and you are yet to get that done,” I queried her without sparing words. “Are you tired of working here? Do you

ALEXA“Gina?” I called her when I noticed that the color in her face completely disappeared.She seemed to snap out of her thought when she shook her head.“I asked what you have against Donald Shell,” I repeated.“Nothing,” Gina said.“But your reaction doesn’t state that it is nothing,” I insisted.“Honestly, I don’t have anything against him. To me, he is just like another man who is popular in the city, and I don’t really fancy them much,” Gina said. Then she hastily went on to ask, “I hope you don’t mind.”“No, I don’t mind, actually,” I said.I gave the wine to her and we sat down together.“I find that a little hard to believe,” Gina said carefully, but her tone was very light.It was exactly the kind of refreshing company that I wanted, and I just enjoyed talking to Gina. We weren’t of the same age, but it felt as though we were, and also, it was as though we had known each other for long.I smiled.“The truth is that, I used to like men like that,” I said in a reminiscing man

ALEXATrue to her words, Gina arrived at my doorstep in ten minutes.“That was fast,” I said when I opened the door and saw her standing there.“What you mentioned didn’t seem like a big problem, so I figured that I would come over and get it done immediately,” Gina responded.She sounded too professional for my liking.“Come in, please,” I said.I stepped aside for Gina to walk in and she did.Then I began to feel guilty for dragging her all the way to my apartment because I was craving companionship and she was the only one I wanted.The truth was that, being that I had always been around people all my life, I was still finding it slightly difficult to adjust to this new lifestyle. I liked it, actually, but then again, getting out of the habit of always having company and enjoying solitude was something that would take time adjusting to.“Where is what you talked about?” Gina asked.“Gina, is there a problem?” I blurted, because I didn’t like the way she was acting around me.She wa

ALEXAAfter leaving my dad’s company, I called Noelle.“Hi, Alexa, I have been waiting for your call,” Noelle said worriedly the moment the call connected.“Well, the meeting is over now,” I said tightly.I didn’t want her to catch the deep pain and anger in my voice, because that would make her more worried, so I tried to sound blank instead.“How did it go?” Noelle asked.“It went well,” I answered directly.There was no point in mentioning to Noelle that I would be working side by side with Mark Ronaldo. First of all, she didn’t like him, and secondly, I wasn’t in the mood for that. Talking about it might make me break down in tears, and I didn’t want to scare the cab driver.“Just well?” Noelle asked.Even though I wanted to prevent her from worrying, I still didn’t succeed.“Yes, Noelle, it went just well,” I told her.“Okay, but when you get here you will get me all the details, right?” Noelle asked me and I swallowed.That was exactly why I decided to call her right after getti

ALEXA As much as I hated this, I had no other choice, but even walking into the boardroom again with my dad and seeing Mark Ronaldo’s face ignited the anger in me.Especially as seeing him brought the words back to my head.However, I had to keep my anger and bitterness aside just as I promised my dad that I would.We spent quite a while talking in that empty office, and he did have a hard time trying to convince me, but what broke my defense was when he broke down in tears.“This company is far gone, Alexa,” he had said, deeply sad and dejected. “It is worse than what you are even seeing, and I assure you that you cannot do it on your own, especially with your brand that you also have to run. You need someone, Alexa, and the only person I can trust that will not steal from us is Mark Ronaldo. I mean, if you don’t believe me, isn’t this empty office space enough reason for you?” He had asked me deeply.That was when I had realized that truly, this was an office that was supposed to b

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
