Victor POVFor a while, the triplets adjourned to a changing room inside the venue to change from their party outfits into clothes suited for fun outdoors.“Let’s go!’ Asher excitedly clutched at my hand so we could get out of the changing room. He was grinning mischievously.“Are you happy, Asher?” I could not resist asking my boy.He nodded.“Very, Daddy! I love it here!” he cried, his eyes shining and his voice practically bubbling with joy.Aaron seconded his brother’s pronouncements. Unlike Asher, he did not take my hand. Instead, he walked ahead of us.“Aren’t we going, Dad?” Asher prompted.I shook my head.“Your sister and mother.” I reminded himAsher turned, ready to check on them, when the door to the changing stall opened and Althea came out.“Daddy! We are here! Let’s go!”Althea jumped and clapped her hands.She was a ball of boundless energy, her laughter ringing out as she bounced up and down.“Where’s your mom?” I asked.“Here,” Pepper announced, emerging from the cha

Victor POVI did not know that my wish to talk to Pepper’s parents would be granted in just a matter of days. The night before, I was surprised when Matthew told me that they had agreed to a meeting.Pepper did not know about it because I wanted to keep it to myself first.I plan to tell her after the fact since I do not want to worry her unnecessarily.She was busy with the children. The day before, her parents invited her and our kids for a day out, and when they came back, there was no mention of our impending meeting.I figured the older Fergusons did not tell her, and I wondered why.In keeping with the Fergusons’ decision to keep Pepper well out of it, I decided to keep mum about the meeting.Hence, my decision to come up with the excuse that I needed to report to the office.She did not find the idea peculiar since Matthew does not report as often these days, unlike my first weeks convalescing.Lately, my assistant only shows up during critical moments. Sometimes, I volunteer

Victor POV“No.”The refusal came off my lips unbidden.The request, or shall I say the threat, came sharp and sudden. It was something I had not prepared for, but come to think of it, I understand where Donny Ferguson is coming from.I hurt his daughter in the past.If I were in his shoes and it happened to Althea in the future, I would have done the same thing.I would squeeze the person who hurt my daughter to a pulp.I would not be magnanimous or forgiving.I will seek revenge because no one has the right to hurt my daughter.I shook my head.This was an unforeseen complication I had not counted on.I had no idea. Never had it crossed my mind that the Fergusons were the new investors or that there was an existing agreement between my father and Donny Ferguson for the sale of the whole company before I married Pepper.The money infused was a guarantee that I would marry his daughter.“Why didn’t you enforce ownership six years ago? Why do you have to spring this on me now?”Talk abo

Victor POVMr. Ferguson expressed so many objections to the condition I set forth in our agreement, but I demolished each one of them.“I only wanted to marry Pepper, and the only condition I was asking for was your permission. In return, I am giving you full control of the company. I am signing away the bulk of my wealth, and you are refusing me?”He looked stunned when I began to assert myself.Early in the meeting, he was the dominant one. He controlled the meeting and how it played out, but in the end, when I agreed to his terms and gave him everything back, I slowly began to feel my power.Maybe he thought I would refuse to let go of the company. He did not expect that it would be so easy for me to sign away everything.The weight had been lifted off me when I finally realized what I stood for.Nothing in this life matters if there is no Pepper, Aaron, Asher, and Althea with it.With the decision made, I felt a certain kind of peace. The peace that comes with choosing family over

Victor POVPepper gently tapped my back. From time to time, she would brush her fingers through my hair. Then, her stroking hands would return to my back to rub it with her palms.I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself, but every time I would think of her smile and the trust in her eyes when she took out the ring from the box and pushed it to her ring finger, I could not breathe.I thought she would reject me."Why didn't you reject me?” I shook my head incredulously.“This is such a lousy proposal. I did not even prepare a party for you." There was so much remorse in my voice.Patience was never one of my best traits. Besides what Donny Ferguson said, kept ringing in my head.He said Pepper was out to get me. I did not believe him, and this was my way of knowing.I broke down in tears because I was half expecting Pepper to reject me.The pain I inflicted on her was so deep that I don't think I deserve a second chance."Stop crying."Pepper pulled back, and our eyes met."Do
