Chapter: Not As WorseALEXAGina was quite reluctant, and it took a while to convince her before she offered to help.“I don’t want to get into any trouble,” she had kept saying.“What trouble are you talking about?” I had asked, confused. “You are the only one I can think of right now who can get a good truck, and I need one right now to move things out of this building,” I told her.“Well, I can send you the cell number of someone you can call,” Gina suggested.“I need you, Gina, not a stranger!” I had blurted out in desperation and exasperation. “What could I have possibly done that you wouldn’t even do that for me right now? I am being evicted,” I had added.Tears had begun to flow, and I was getting weaker.“Please, Gina, I am asking that you help me,” I pleaded deeply with her. “In less than an hour, if I don’t leave, things are going to get really messy for me,” I added.After a few seconds of hesitation, Gina eventually spoke.“I will be right there,” she had responded.After the call, I turned to

Chapter: Stay With HerMARKIt was Brent who called, so I had to hurriedly go to him, and I wouldn’t have gone because the situation at hand with Alexa, but Brent said that it was very crucial.He was headed to my company, and so I had no choice but to be there as well.However, on my way to my company, I hastily called Vector.“Mark, is everything okay?” Vector asked the moment he picked the call. “How is Alexa?” He asked, sounding more worried.“She is the reason I am calling,” I responded.“What’s wrong?” Vector asked.“I hope you are not having a busy morning, but I need you to leave whatever you are doing right now and go to Alexa’s business company right now,” I instructed him.“She went to work today?” Vector was stunned.“Donald Shell is trying to act funny,” I stated.“I knew that he wouldn’t just give up like that…damn,” Vector said hatefully without even hearing the full story.“Listen, Vector, I need someone I can trust around her right now,” I hastily said. “I am on my way to my company, but it

Chapter: Double The TroubleALEXAMaybe I was being selfish, but I really wanted Mark to put me first for once.“He is a man, Alexa, of course, he would only do what pleases him,” a voice in my head told me.Mark might never hurt me like Donald tried to, but he was not any different; he would always put his pride and company above me, as he had always done from the very beginning.I was never going to be a priority, and as I stared at the paper that he had given back to me before he left, I realized that I was all alone now.“Miss Alexa,” my secretary called, drawing my attention back to the reality.Mark promised that he would be here in an hour time, but he had failed me in the past before, so why should I trust him now?As a matter of fact, Mark Ronaldo was the only man who had failed me over and over again, and had broken my love and trust for him, so there was no way I could count on him now…not after what just happened to me.“Yes,” I managed to answer.I couldn’t even go into the building because of how I

Chapter: Yet Again ALEXAI stared at the eviction notice, still trying to come to terms with what I was looking at.“What do we do, Miss Alexa?” My secretary asked me again. “It says that we have just three hours to move out of the property,” she added.“What?!” Mark reacted in shock.Since we got here, I hadn’t answered his questions as to what the problem was, and that was because I couldn’t even open my mouth to speak.I couldn’t think straight.Being here and seeing the letter gave me a different feeling; like I could literally see my life crashing right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do about it.When Mark still wasn’t getting an answer from me, he took the paper from me to take a look at it, and I didn’t stop him.I was too weak to even try.Mark read through it in a second.“Why eviction?” He asked worriedly. “I thought this property was bought,” he added.“Leased to me, not bought,” I managed to respond.“And then why is this coming right now?” He asked with deep concern. “Has he

Chapter: The NoticeALEXA“Are you sure?” I asked my secretary.My heart was thumping already.“What’s wrong?” Mark asked worriedly.He hastily kept the breakfast he was holding aside and came closer to me.“Yes, Miss Alexa,” she responded over the phone. “I am staring at it right now,” she added.“This early?” I asked, still completely filled with shock and horror.Even as I asked her, I glanced at the time. Gosh, it was barely seven in the morning, and I was already being delivered a devastating news.Coupled with the fact that internally, I was still battling with what happened at Donald house last evening, and the horrifying dream I had about him.“Yes,” she said. “What should I do, Miss Alexa?” She asked me.I could feel the fear and trembling in her from the sound of her voice, and I knew that this wasn’t something I could handle over the phone.“I am on my way,” I responded before ending the call. “Jesus!” I muttered in exasperation.I couldn’t believe that this was happening to me right now.“Wha

Chapter: Be By Her SideMARKI knew that she was having a bad dream about Donald Shell when she started struggling in my arms, even before she mentioned his name.The room wasn’t completely dark, so I could see Alexa’s face, and when I saw that it was contorted in anguish, I felt the deep pain in my chest.And the anger rose to the brim and overflowed.Just when I thought I couldn’t get angrier and more vengeful, Alexa reacted to it and the anger came to me all over again. Goodness, I really wished I could squash Donald Shell with my bare hands.“It’s just a dream, Alexa,” I told her, holding her tight.And to think that I was even going to leave her alone to spend the night all by herself. If she hadn’t asked me to stay, I would have left with Vector, and that made me feel horrible about myself.“What kind of man would that have made you?” A voice asked me.Alexa would have dealt with this on her own, and that would have left her even more devastated and wrecked. Alexa opened her eyes and saw me.“I am he

Chapter: 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

Chapter: 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

Chapter: A Love Worth HavingVivian’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

Chapter: Fight For Love And ForgivenessSyrus’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

Chapter: Water Under The BridgeVivian’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.

Chapter: 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
