Pepper POV

Can a person truly feel this much happiness?

I kept asking myself that question while I stared at my ring. Set in platinum gold, the solitaire diamond that sits at the center winked at me.

I giggled and sighed a contented sigh.

The door to the bathroom opened, and my fiancé, yes! I would like to call him that since we already sealed the deal. We are engaged! My mind shouted.

“You look happy,” Victor said, advancing towards me.

He was naked from the waist up, and his body was wrapped in a towel. He was drying his hair with another towel, and he was looking straight at me.

I opted for honesty.

“I just could not believe that we are getting married again.”

“Why?” He looked clueless. “I told you I wanted to marry you again. Right at the beginning, I had been open about it. All I want is your readiness.”

The sincerity in his tone touched me like nothing ever could.

“Are you really sure you are ready to marry me again?”

He sounded unsure.

“Don’t you believe me? It’s offensive. May

    Samuel POVAfter I sent Donny and Pearl back to their hotel, I decided to drop by the Women’s Project to sort out my things.I went to my office with the intention of getting my important files.I was about to leave when I decided to drop by Pepper’s office to smooth out some details of my work. I was hoping we could discuss the candidates I had shortlisted to replace me and help speed up the transition process.I just did not expect to overhear the conversation between her and Shan.Early this morning, I was feeling down.I can’t shake the disappointment I felt after hearing the hesitation of Shan about moving in with me in California.I hated the fact that she was choosing to stay here rather than come with me. Of course, that meant that Shelly would be staying here, too.I don’t think I can stand that kind of set-up.Shan and Shelly are my family. They belong to me.We should be together, not miles apart.Last night, I kept wondering why Shan would refuse to come with me. Without

    Pepper POVTwenty minutes later, I called Shan to my office.It took Victor and me twenty minutes to calm down after the torrid kiss we shared.I wanted to berate him for doing this behind my back, but I guess I was overwhelmed by the knowledge that he would stop at nothing to keep the children and me by his side.Victor has repeatedly shown me how far he would go to have us in his life. He would stop at nothing to be with us.Sometimes, it made me wonder if I was deserving of his love because, let’s face it, I was able to walk away from him when the going gets tough. When our relationship ended, I did not think twice about divorcing him.Until now, I still rued that fact. I had given up on us.I was the one who ended us. Not him.“You look preoccupied. Are you still angry at me?”I shook my head in response to his question.I knew he was waiting for me to explain.“I was just thinking that if our roles were reversed, would I be able to show the same commitment you have shown me?”I

    Victor POVPepper fell silent.I was waiting for her to say something. It looks to me as if she was in deep thought, mulling over my words.I know how important Samuel and Shan were to him, and I don’t want her to break their friendship because of work.Surely, there is always a way. So long as people keep meeting each other halfway.In every relationship, compromise is the key.I recount in my head the many instances where Pepper and I accommodate each other’s opinions, biases, and prejudices.It was not always easy to agree with each other, but there had to be a meeting point somewhere as long as the people involved were willing.Nothing in life is impossible. Only difficult.Even the toughest rock can crack when exposed to water. It will take time, but it will happen.I smiled when I saw her capitulating.I saw the facial expressions that flitted on her face. She was debating inwardly.“You know that it was not easy. I fired Samuel, but I never told him to leave New York.”“And wha

    Pepper POVMy brows furrowed in confusion after hearing Victor's barrage of information.Frankly, I have not thought of the ramifications of my decision yesterday. When I fired Samuel, I was not thinking straight. I only thought that I wanted to relieve him from becoming a ping-pong ball.He can’t go back and forth between my parents and me. I can’t compromise his profession like that.Shan’s case also slipped my mind.Since I arrived this morning, I have been so busy that I haven't had time to chat with Shan. Come to think of it, I haven’t checked on her since we parted yesterday.Some friend I was.I wanted to berate myself, but what good would it do? The deed had been done.I made a mental note to check on her later, after I reviewed the dossier Samuel sent me for his possible replacement.There were four candidates, and I was thoroughly combing through each one’s information.Samuel’s a tough act to follow.It would be hard to replace him, but what can I do? At some point, I know

    Victor POVDonny Ferguson looked stunned.It gave me immense pleasure to see the reaction on his face. The knowledge that I was able to surprise him brought me satisfaction.He seemed so confident that I would refuse to accept his challenge, but now that I did, he sure did not know how to deal with it.I shook his hand and nodded at his wife.“When am I going to start?”Donny looked flustered at my question.Maybe he had not thought that far. He looked around us. It was as if he were seeking answers on the four walls of the VIP room where we were.Once we had settled the details of my comeback, we parted ways.Pepper was still awake when I got home. She was reading a book, which she put down when she saw me coming into our room.“How was your meeting?”She got up from the bed to greet me with a small peck on the lips. I responded with more enthusiasm. I pulled her body toward me to inhale her natural scent.I could not help thinking that this woman is my home.“Why the long sigh?”I

    Victor POVI parked my car in the paid parking lot outside the hotel where Pepper's parents are staying, but I did not go out immediately.Instead, I let out a deep exhale while throwing the back of my head on the headrest of the driver's seat of my car.Anticipation of our looming showdown was foremost in my head.My hands felt clammy while I gripped the steering wheel, and I hastily rubbed my sweaty palms on the front of my pants.I looked out the window at the facade of the building and felt a looming sense of foreboding that this would not turn out as I expected.I have half a mind to turn around and leave, but what the h*ck!I was already here.I asked for this meeting, not them.The elder Fergusons, from what I heard from Matthew, are only staying in the country for a week.Assuming the next few days will be busy for them, considering the takeover, I asked Samuel to arrange a meeting for us, which they accepted immediately.I don't have high hopes about the meeting. I was not ex
