Fake!

Syrus’s POVSyrus was sleeping late into the morning; as he still didn’t have the emotional and mental capability to return to the company just yet, when his phone began to ring.Groaning in annoyance, because Syrus was gradually getting used to sleeping into the night, he reached forth to his bedside drawer and grabbed his phone.It was his secretary.“I am on leave,” Syrus said into the phone, his voice husky due to the fact that he was still sleepy.“Good morning, Mr. Syrus, and I am sorry to be interrupting your morning like this, but I think there is an emergency that needs your attention,” his secretary spoke gently into the phone.“Isn’t that why I have head staff?” Syrus queried her.He just wanted to get back to his sleep. Syrus fought literally every night to get some sleep, because the option of attending Anderson’s burial to honor him and risk being disowned or not attending and living with the guilt in his heart weighed heavily in his heart. So every single night, Syrus e

Her Informant

Vivian’s POV“Will you be okay?” Diana asked as she proceeded to leave after Marie eventually left us.“Can I come with you for a few hours?” I asked Diana.The only thing I wanted to do right now was to get away from the house at the moment. There was nowhere else I could go, but at least, I needed some time away from the house to allow things to cool off a little.“Sure,” Diana said. “You are lucky that I came with the car,” she told me.I quickly wrote a small note and kept it on the kitchen counter, saying I was stepping out with Diana for a few hours so that they would not worry about my whereabouts. Marie was obviously hurt and offended, and I could not exactly tell if it was because I hid it from her or majorly because it was connected to the people that she did not like. That warning she gave was stern and firm, and it just made me sad.“Thank you, Diana,” I said as we proceeded to her parked car.“You do know that even if you don’t go anywhere Marie is not going to just jump

Where CEO's Have No Power

Syrus’s POVSyrus still could not believe the things his secretary told him.A fake contract? Impossible!The City’s Business Council was a more reputable body than that, which was even why Syrus was still confused about giving the same contract to another company and announcing them publicly as their chosen company.Syrus arrived at their premises almost an hour later. He tried to calm himself before entering the building, knowing that their security and policies were very tight. If he even tried to create a scene or act out of character, he would be kicked out of the premises before he could even blink his eyes. Syrus knew that they were done with their launch party, so he was certain that Mr. Dobson must be in his office.“Hello, please, I would like to be directed to Mr. Dobson’s office,” Syrus told the receptionist whom he met the moment he entered the serene building.“Do you have an appointment, sir?” She asked professionally.“No, I don’t,” Syrus shook his head and said.He ha

Unexpected Reaction

Vivian’s POVWhat Leon told me left me in shock. However, because of the curious presence of Diana, and neither Leon nor I wanted her to know anything about it, Leon promised to come by later to see me and tell me all about it.When I arrived back at the house, Marie was already making dinner. I didn’t have a single appetite, I had already done most of the chores for that day, and most importantly, there was still some sort of friction between Marie and I, so I just went into my bedroom without even alerting her that I was back. Besides, Marie preferred most times to do the cooking all by herself, uninterruptedly. Deep down, I just felt that my days here were numbered. There was a whole new layer of Marie that I hadn’t seen before, and with that, I could not even decipher what her next decision would be. In my bedroom, I looked around, and a wave of emotions rushed through me.This was home to me.I had no idea what I would do if Marie decided to fire me. She had already strictly warn

The Only Way Out

Vivian’s POVI stopped and turned, shocked by Marie’s revelation. I couldn’t even say a word. I just stood there as my mouth fell open, astonished.“Yes, Vivian,” Marie said, nodding her head with sadness. “Oh my goodness! Marie, I am so sorry to hear this,” I said and meant every word of it after I was able to regain myself. “It is okay, Vivian. We have both come to terms with it, which is why we are both living our lives cherishing every single moment spent together,” Marie said. “Vale’s worry was dying before getting the chance to fix things and reconcile with his children, but whether or not that happens, the news of the triplets being his grand babies would be a gift to him,” Marie added.I was more stunned and devastated. I could not even imagine Mr. Vale dying, and the thought of that happening without Syrus knowing the truth and reconciling with his father simply made me shudder. “He has that short a time?” I asked in fear.Mr. Vale did not seem that sick to me, and the onl

Still Compassionate

Vivian’s POV“Vivian, are you okay?” Marie asked as she came into my bedroom.I was trying to fold up some of my clothes. After talking to Leon yesterday and filing that case against Ted, I just couldn’t explain it, but I had been feeling quite terrible. I shouldn’t be feeling sour, because first of all, Ted had committed a grievous offense by involving in the murder of Jane, and every other horrible thing he had tried to do to me, and secondly, it would save him from the wrath of the drug lord. I knew I was being biased and unfair in feeling this way about it, but Ted was still my brother no matter what, and the last thing I wanted was for him to rot in jail or be gruesomely murdered by the drug lord like Jane. I spent the entire night asking myself if I should have done it or not, knowing that I had already filed the report and I would not be able to take back my statement. Leon advised me to tell them vividly that I knew he killed Jane. That way, they would have a strong case to ke

Deeper Things

Vivian’s POV“I do not know you,” I simply said without giving her the handshake that she wanted even though she already mentioned Belinda’s name.I refused to be fooled or deceived. I had been through a lot already to just let anyone fool me. She did not look familiar at all. Belinda had never mentioned her name to me, so she was most probably lying. Also, Belinda and I had been best friends since we were kids, so if she had other friends, I would know. I didn’t have other friends before now; I already considered Diana and her twin brother, Leon, as my friends in this city, and so Belinda didn’t also have friends when we were still together.She smiled instead. “You know, I have never taken the phrase ‘this is such a small world’ seriously until now. I never believed that I would run into you,” she said.I became uncomfortable and alert instantly, because she was suddenly beginning to sound suspicious.“Are you going to leave me alone or would you have me call security for harassment

A Rightful Visitor

Georgia’s POVGeorgia waited for Ken in her apartment. They had an appointment on what they had discussed before, and it was time to meet up.Georgia deliberately chose night time, because in doing so, she was almost certain that she would have no interruptions. However, deep down, Georgia was truly worried, because if Ken was found anywhere near her, she would be in trouble. Whatever they were going had to be in secret.Even though Georgia scheduled their meeting for that time of the night, she still wasn’t entirely comfortable with the arrangement, because there was only one person that was likely to visit unannounced at whatever time of the day that he deemed fit, and that person was Syrus Vale, the one person that should never see her with Ken.Georgia knew that Syrus was coming to her apartment at will because he got it for her. Somehow, she knew that Syrus felt he had every right to barge into her space without informing her before the time.Anyway, Georgia stopped thinking abou

Tit For Tat

Syrus’s POV“We need to talk,” Syrus said angrily, and without waiting for permission, he slightly brushed past Georgia and entered the living room.“Is everything okay?” Georgia asked from behind Syrus.Syrus noticed that Georgia seemed shocked and apprehensive to be seeing him. Shocked, he could understand, because he was barging in on her, but then again, this wasn’t his first time being here unannounced. Then as Syrus entered the living room, the smell of a man’s cologne hit Syrus’s nose. Georgia definitely had a man in her apartment, and from the strong smell of the cologne still in the air, it was obvious that whoever her guest was left a few minutes ago. The only worry that Syrus was beginning to have was that he had been in Georgia’s parking lot for about five minutes, and he didn’t see anyone leave Georgia’s house. Also, the cologne smelled awfully familiar, but unfortunately, Syrus could not decipher where or on whom he had smelled it. He kept sniffing and sniffing silently

The Long-standing Enemy

Syrus’s POVSyrus stayed frozen in his spot for a few seconds, wondering if he heard Georgia correctly. Then slowly, dreadfully, he turned and faced Georgia again.“What did you just say?” Syrus asked.“You heard me, Syrus Vale,” Georgia answered, her confidence now on the rise. “You are not a saint after all, are you?” She asked pointedly.“What gun and murder are you talking about?” Syrus asked, trying to twist the whole thing even though he could already feel like he had lost the argument already.“The day you picked me up to help you with Bonnie’s situation and I took a few minutes to fix my makeup. When you stepped out of the car, I searched around for a piece of tissue to wipe my gloss stain off, and that was when I opened the glove compartment and saw it. Syrus, you and I know that that wasn’t a licensed gun,” Georgia narrated.Syrus knew then that he was in a big hole of trouble.“Why didn’t you say anything until now, huh? You wanted to use it against me, right?” Syrus asked,
