The Marriage Contract 2-24
(24th. June. Friday.)Alexa sat on her couch in a brooding sensation. She felt alone in a house as big as hers. For years, it's been that way and it made her wonder how long she can cope with it.She doesn't have any friends she can call out to and will immediately listen.She wondered if Leo actually care about what she might be feeling. He can't even at least give himself a leave from work.Apparently, when he's working, he's really into it.She decided to call the only friend she seem to have. The only close one.After two rings..."Hey." Alexa smiled over the phone."Hey, Alexa. How are you?""I'm fine, Em. I'm just wondering if you're busy. If you have the chance for us to meet."Emily blinked. "Oh, um, I'm sorry Alexa, but I'm not free"Alexa's face fell. "Really?""Yeah? Is there anything you want to talk about?"Alexa shook her head. "No. Nothing. It's actually fine. I should leave you to your work." She said and hung up with a sigh as it was expected.She doesn't know if Emil

(25th. June. Saturday.)"Don't bother yourself too much in it, honey."He looked at his wife and shook his head. "I don't trust him, Mia. He was a friend of me and Renard, and right from time, he has always been wild, a bully. I don't like him being around.""Renard doesn't seem to think the same way, Eric. They're really close."Eric nodded. "Yeah they are, and that's why I can't stop Renard from getting involved with Harrison. It's his life.""Just hope he's careful. Harrison seems to be bad news."Eric nodded again. "Indeed."Then he looked and saw his daughter. "Hey, how long have you been there?"A clash and impact on the ground made Alexa open her eyes and woke up. She narrowed her sleepy eyes on her son picking up what he fell. "Damien?"Damien looked at his mom with widened eyes. "Oh. Sorry, mom. Daddy sent me to get something." He said arranging things back.Alexa sighed and sat up. "What thing?""Nothing to bother about, mom." He said, then he climbed on the bed toward her a

(28th. June. Tuesday.)Leo walked into the dining in amusement upon seeing his wife and kids arranging the food she prepared on the table. "Now I'm feeling this day is special since it can only explain why my wife woke up early today."Alexa walked toward him with a smile, wrapping her arms around his neck, and gave Leo a kiss he definitely did not expect. He was taken aback by it. "Whoa, babe. Is there an occasion?" He said holding her sides."Does kissing you mean there's an occasion?"He looked at the table. "For one, breakfast looks serious, and for zero, what woke you up?" He asked looking at her.Alexa dropped her hands, placing them on his. "Happy birthday, Honey."Leo's face fell..."Happy birthday, dad!"He looked at his children and back at Alexa. "I told you....""It's best we don't go through this now. The kids are watching, let's eat." She said leaving Leo's hold.Leo blinked and turned to his kids. "I'm sorry about this, but daddy's got an important meeting to attend..."
The Marriage Contract 2-27
Leo and his kids got home, and they immediately ran to their mom who strode down the stairs upon hearing the car arrive.She smiled as they hug her. "Hey..." She said, trying her best to be in a good mood. Truth be told, the morning drama took a toll on her. It felt like it's been a long while since Leo angrily yelled at her."You guys should go freshen up this instant," Leo told the kids, wanting to have a moment with his wife.The kids nodded and ran up the stairs toward their rooms.Leo walked closer, dropping his suitcase on a table before walking past it and halting in front of Alexa.At that moment, she felt like there was tension brewing in the air. Leo's face was blank and unreadable, so she couldn't decipher what his words could be to her."So,..." He let out a throaty chuckle that didn't change his blank expression. "I saw your gift."At that moment, thoughts began bombarding her head. She wasn't sure what to think. Did he like it? Did it spice his anger more? She wasn't sur
The Marriage Contract 2-28
(29th. June. Wednesday.)Getting all dressed up, Leo's phone suddenly buzzed. He furrowed his brows at it and picked it from the vanity using his thumbprint to open it.His jaw dropped at what met his face. He looked at his sleeping wife and back at the content on his phone, his emotions flaring up, his chest rising up and down in rapid breaths emanating anger. He could feel his blood rush through his whole being as he stood there still like a statue.He wanted to get himself. To shake his head saying it was nothing. To discard it. But he couldn't find himself doing it at the moment. His anger has completely taken over at the sight.He heard Alexa moan and turned, completely facing her as she lay on her side facing where he stood like nothing was happening. His eyes on her were red in anger. He felt like...he felt...Alas, he shook his head shaking off the thoughts. It's impossible. He knows her perfectly well, so it's damn impossible. There's something bad brewing in the air. It was
The Marriage Contract 2-29
Since Leo got back home from work, he hasn't been himself. He was completely lost in thought and most of all had some kind of distance from his wife.Why is he doing this? He trusts his wife so much, but why is he avoiding her? She could notice and sense there was something wrong and if things turn out to be true, that's when the truth and his true nature comes out.He doesn't want it. That feeling of betrayal, he has had his fair share of it. He could explode if it turns out his wife truly was cheating on him with someone else.But for now, she can't know til he gets to the bottom of things and if someone out there was the cause, he is gonna go to the end of the earth to find and if not his right sense, murder that person.Alexa tilted her head at him sitting on the couch. It was like his whole being, a vortex of anger swirled inside him. Did someone wrong him at work? He looked so damn lost in thought, and his... red-looking eyes were directed toward nothing.What should she do?He
The Marriage Contract 2-30
Four days later. (4th July. Monday.)He looked around everywhere, a huge sigh coming out of him as he felt the air of the place he left. A place he missed. A place that contains what he treasures most.Getting to the lobby of the airport as he dragged his luggage, he spotted someone waiting for him, holding a piece of carbon paper with his name written on it.He smiled and sneaked up to her. "Hey." He whispered causing her to jump slightly.But then she gasped when she saw the face of who she's wanted to see for long. "Stefan!" She immediately pulled him into a hug and he responded. "I miss you so much."Stefan left the smile on his face since he missed her too, although there was a drastic change in her, but he recognized her as his little sister even though when he left, she was just ten.He pulled away and looked at her beautiful face. "You're really all grown up, Tessa."Tessa's smile widened at the comment. "Yeah.""Let's go home. We don't want to keep mom impatiently waiting for
The Marriage Contract 2-31
Alexa couldn't believe her eyes seeing Stefan in front of her. It was beginning to feel like yesterday he just suddenly left. "Oh my God, Stef...how...where have you been? You just left." She asked.They were already on the couch and somehow Leo wasn't feeling comfortable."It's a family issue. I had to leave." Stefan explained.Alexa's mouth formed an O. "Oh wow." She breathed out still feeling like she was trapped in a dream. "It was...it was sad when we suddenly lost touch. You just left without many details. We went to your home, but your mom wasn't giving us an answer...although,..." She stopped remembering something.Stefan lowered his head knowing what she was going to say. "Yeah. That was why I left. My dad needed me, so we both left. I couldn't stay with her.""And now? You're back because...?""He's dead. He passed away last week."Alexa blinked and leaned against the couch very close to Leo who just let them catch up. She was taken aback a bit by it, her face enveloped in s
