Alexis's POV “Of course not” I answered, was that even possible? A life where I would be tired of her? Even if all she had to offer was her shenanigans, I was ready to go along with it all. I would bear it all as long as it meant her being by my side. I thought I was doing a good job, hiding my emotions and everything that I had to battle with. My mother had stomped after me wanting to know what had happened after Genevieve had burst into tears but I knew there was no way I could tell her, she would be as heartbroken as I was right now.“Why would you even think about that? How is it possible for me to get tired of you?” “ Then what do you want me to think?” Her lips parted as she questioned. “ I know you might take it as me overthinking, but I am not. I know you like the back of my palm, Alex. I do” “ And I am telling you everything is fine, you don't have to worry yourself about anything” She let out a sigh before turning to the side. “If that's what you are going to say, t
Alexis's POV My heart dipped while I watched her rush past, trying to get past me into the lift before she turned to me, her face lighting up with a smile before she exhaled. “ I loved how today ended, I will love to do this more often with you” “ We will’ I answered, just so she won't think anything was wrong judging by how quick she was to get that. “ Sure?” She turned to me, flipping her head to the side. “ Will you go with me more often? The next date is on me.” “ Nortia” my eyes clogged with crystal on it which I shoved away because she was doing every single thought to make me have a change of heart even when she had no idea what I had planned and it wasn't even helping. I had promised, to make sure she had no regrets, given her my words that I was the only one who will never hurt her, and had seen through to it, I have intended to see though to that to the very end but it seems I couldn't, things just didn't work out the way one wanted it. “What’s wrong? Your eyes, did
Alexis's POV “Have you thought about what to do yet?” Getting out of the house has been hard to make but I have done so, stretching it into weeks. I have been trying to think about what exactly I was to do but every single thing came to a stop at the same point, that I had no business keeping Nortia with me. If I was to protect Genevieve, letting Nortia go was the only issue I was posed with and what I had to make sure happened “ Get the lawyer, it is difficult for me to do this, but I have to let her go” “ There have been requests to see you, most of which are from her and she sounds heartbroken” “ Pass them over” I instructed before flipping my head around as I reached for the landline while placing it against my ears. Nortia's voice came out fine at first but it ended up with her telling me about how her day went and when I will be back to see her, my hands clenched the phone as I wished that was going to be all. That just listening to this would have me running home but I
Nortia's POV Another day went by and Alexis was nowhere to be found, with each day that ran past, I was left thinking about my actions and his as well. Reaching him has been impossible as all the calls bounced back to me with an excuse of him working. I would have gotten his mother to talk to him, but I knew it would make matters worse than it already was so I clung onto that one part of me that believed he was busy and maybe when he is done, he will come back to me. Even when it was difficult to think about it that way, I shove away the thought that accumulated which was all streamlined to him cheating on me, he wasn't a cheat, that was something I could attest to. He could be a whole lot of things but the man I was married to was not a cheat as he had proved it on countless occasions and I have been made to know what he would be capable of and what he wouldn't be capable of. When the bell had rung out announcing someone at the door, I shoved the pillowcase on my leg away bef
Nortia's POVGenevieve was at the door immediately the word slipped out, tapping on it. I could tell how glad she was at what had just happened and I couldn't wait to go out to let her know. Slipping the test kit in-between my palm, I pulled the door open, when she stood in front of me. “ You are pregnant?” I could sense the hesitation in her tone, the one that wasn't there when she told me to confirm. “ Will it be bad if I say I am?” “ How exactly will that be bad? It will change everything, every single thing, it will. Life will be meaningful again, it will be worth living again” “ Ahaha” I let out, trying not to show that her words have been off in a way because she had said something about life being meaningful again.“ What do you mean by it will change everything? Is there something I don't know about?” It seems I was kept in the dark about something everyone else knew but I didn't have any idea about. “ No, of course not. Why would you even think that? All I am saying i
Alexis's POV Her eyes moistened as she peered at me, not wanting to believe what she had just been told. My hands fistened into a clench trying so hard not to stretch out my fingers to flick out the tears that had brimmed in her eyes. “What…are you saying?” She let out a cackle of hoarse laughter. “ I know you don't mean that but even at that, you shouldn't say something like that, I almost believed you there” she let out amusedly, beads of laughter accompanying it. “Nortia” I called, trying to get her to listen to me because she wasn't doing that at the moment. “ Nortia!” I called again, firmer than the last, forcing her attention on me. She halted, her eyes fixated on me as she waited for me to say what it was that I had to say. “I am being serious right now, it is over. Here” I tucked the file into her opened hand, the one that had divorce paper written on it. Her eyes dilated before they stared at the file she had in between her hand. “ You don't mean this, do you?” her to
Nortia's POVI wanted it to be a joke, it had to be an expensive joke as it had happened so suddenly and there was no reason why he would do such a thing, we haven't had any arguments that would warrant this, so why exactly had this happened? The tears ran down my cheek, unending and no matter how hard I tried to make it stop, it just wouldn't stop, there were a lot of things that I wished had gone wrong instead of this, our marriage. Where had it all gone wrong? Where exactly was it that I didn't take note? Was it when I had insisted that he should let me be? Was that it? Had I taken it to the extreme? I plopped to the ground, chewing on my lips. I would have taken the money, that was what I owned but even at that moment, my rage had taken over. It would have been stupid to take that, I was never going to believe that he didn't love me. Alexis did, he loved me so what exactly had happened? My hand patted my chest, which ached so bad I was unable to take in air. My hands clenched
Alexis's POV Peering outside the window, I tried to ascertain what she would be doing right now, the gateman had stepped in not too long ago, given me details of how she had stepped out briskly not listening to anyone speaking to her before she walked out. He hadn't tried to stop her because no one else was supposed to but that didn't stop him from walking in here to get an answer on if she was supposed to be out there. I had waved him off, with a flick of my wrist, watching as he did what I had instructed without saying a word, now left to my thoughts, I had placed a call to Gerald giving orders that he should get in here, to take the papers to the lawyer. Time was ticking and although I really wanted to know what my parents would say if they found out what I had done, I will keep that away for now. My mom wasn't going to like it, I wasn't going to as well, everything was out against me and I really wanted a break, one from everything. When he was taking more time than he was s

Nortia's POV I woke up to the bed empty, and cold, with Alexis nowhere to be found. Pushing myself up the bed, I searched around, calling his name to find out where he was but I got no answer. Sighing, I turned to the side,my reflection in the mirror as I did so. The dress I was to wear today hung by the side, a red gown to compliment my curves, one which ran straight to my knees and had a slit running up to my thighs. Hiding in a giggle, I selected a blue one for Alexis, one which I was so sure will work in tandem with his skin color.Pouting, I waited for him to walk in which was to no avail, letting out a rasp breath, a hand underneath my chin, I made my way to the window, flinging it wide open. We were supposed to have left earlier on,seeing how the sky had inked, I wondered if there was going to be any need. I was really looking forward to this, fiddling with my hands, I decided to take a shower, I felt sticky and stiff in a giggle, I did. The warm water aided in soothing my
