A Method That Works

IVY

“I just want to hide my head in shame, mum,” I said to my mum as I buried my face in my hand. “We have worked so hard to get here, and now I have ruined everything,” I sobbed deeply.

She stayed quiet, as she would usually do most times, and her silence always spoke the loudest volumes, because I knew without a doubt that she was already plotting something, which was why I was always confident to run to her for everything.

She always had solutions to every single problem.

After I left Mark’s ward at the hospital, I had realized that I made a terrible mistake by revealing Alexa’s feelings for him, but then again, I had been in the most agitated state, not knowing what to do and the words had just come out.

It had saved me from that confrontation, but I had ruined things in the process.

“Mark is going to call off the engagement; I am sure of it,” I continued when she remained quiet. “Maybe I could have found something else to say, but at that time, I was too nervous to think of somet

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Another Negotiation

    ALEXAReturning to my office seemed like a horrible idea, because I could not stop being agitated. Fortunately, my assistant didn’t have any more bad news for me, so I simply asked her to change the door sign to close and close for the day.He knows now; what next is going to happen?Or maybe I might be the one over-thinking things or overreacting. Mark had never cared about me, not even after I nursed him back to good health and stayed by his side for years. No, he never cared. Most men would have already known that I was hopelessly in love with him by then, but Mark Ronaldo, because he was still in love with Ivy, was too blind to see.Why else would I accept to marry him in the blink of an eye? Why would I still stay even after Ivy returned and tried to get him back? Even if I had taken care of him when he was in coma, I should have left the moment he woke up, but I didn’t. It had been for devotion, but every other sacrifice I had made wasn’t.It was for love.I continued to pace ab

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Anniversary Present

    ALEXAThe phone screen burned into my eyes, the moans filling the quiet room like a sick joke. “Oh yes, harder, Mark, please fuck me harder!” My stomach twisted as I watched my husband thrust into another woman, her voice shamelessly calling out his name. The same name I had whispered in the dark when he was unconscious in that hospital bed, clinging to life. The name I had prayed over when I fought to bring him back. And this was my reward? This betrayal—on the night of our fifth anniversary? On my birthday? My fingers trembled as I gripped the phone tighter. A notification popped up, a fresh slap to my face. "Do you like the birthday gift I sent you, dear sis?" I didn’t need to check the sender. I could already see Ivy’s smug face in my mind, could hear the gloating in her voice. "See? Just a flick of my finger and he comes running back. Don’t think your pathetic care ever mattered. To Mark, you’re just a poor nanny." A poor nanny. A mocking smile curled my lips. Tha

    ALEXAMark halted mid-step, his broad shoulders tense as he turned to face me. His blue eyes, so sharp and cold, narrowed dangerously as they fixed on my smaller frame. “Excuse me?” His voice was low, quiet, but there was an unmistakable warning in it. I refused to back down. My heart was pounding, but I kept my chin high, my voice steady. “Let’s get a divorce,” I repeated, staring straight at him. For a moment, he just looked at me. Then, a slow scoff left his lips, his expression twisting into something between amusement and disbelief. “Is this your attempt to get back at me?” he asked, tilting his head slightly. His gaze shifted toward the dining table, where the untouched meal sat—an entire evening’s worth of effort wasted. Then, just as quickly, he looked back at me. “Because what?” His voice dripped with condescension. “I didn’t spend your birthday with you? Or is it the anniversary?” There was no remorse, not even a sliver of guilt in his tone, and that hurt mor

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   I've Made Up My Mind

    MARKThe next morning, as I stepped out of my room, ready for work, I noticed something—something was off. The house felt… empty. Too empty. “Good morning, Mr. Ronaldo,” Jennifer, the housekeeper, greeted as she approached with a cup of coffee. Alexa had sent her away last night for our "special occasion," yet here she was, back in her usual routine. “Your morning coffee, sir.” I took the cup and sipped. The taste was familiar, just the way Alexa always made it when I had a long, exhausting day. Was this her way of asking for an apology? If it was, it wasn’t enough. No one had ever dared to raise their hand against me before. If she wanted forgiveness, she should have the decency to say it to my face. I handed the cup back to Jennifer and glanced around. “Where’s Alexa?” Jennifer flinched at my question. My eyes narrowed. “I asked you a question.” She hesitated before blurting out in a rush, “I apologize, sir, but earlier this morning, the madam packed her bags and l

    ALEXAAfter a few hours at the boutique and salon, I barely recognized myself. My hair, once dull and lifeless, was now a vibrant shade of red with golden streaks running through the ends. My nails were perfectly polished, my skin glowed, and the red, figure-hugging dress I wore left little room for self-doubt. It clung to my curves, accentuating everything Mark had once ignored. I looked good—better than I had in years. But as I stared at my reflection, a strange feeling crept over me. Regret. Not for leaving him. But for wasting so much time waiting for love that was never meant for me. For hoping, praying, and breaking myself just to earn scraps of affection from a man who never truly saw me. That ended today. "Well?" Noelle’s voice broke through my thoughts. She stood behind me, arms crossed, watching my reaction closely. "What do you think?" I turned to her, a slow smile spreading across my lips. "I feel…" I paused, then let out a breath. "Like me." Noelle grinn

    ALEXA“Let go of her, right now!”That was Noelle’s voice, and it was what brought me back to reality. Everyone present at the club was now looking at us, and Mark’s hand still held onto my wrist possessively…and painfully.“Let her go, Mark,” Noelle ordered again when it seemed as though Mark was deaf to her orders.“Stay out of this,” Mark eventually said, glaring at Noelle. His voice was throaty and husky, and I wondered if it was as a result of what happened between the two of us; if he felt it too, or if it was as a result of his anger.“Why should I?” Noelle asked, facing Mark fearlessly and boldly.She had never liked him, and knowing Noelle the way I did, I knew that she would definitely use this opportunity to get at Mark for what he made me go through. She hardly ever saw him, because she could not stand his presence.“Last time I checked, she was your ex-wife, Mark,” Noelle added.Mark smirked. “You are mistaken, Noelle,” he simply said, leaving Noelle’s eyes to budge out i

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Something For Your Ugly Mood

    MARKI tried to take my eyes off Alexa and the throng of men that were shamelessly dancing with her on her mini-stage, but I just couldn’t, and it was very obvious that she was enjoying it.Frankly, if I didn’t know Alexa well enough, I would have sworn that she wasn’t the woman on that stage; maybe her lookalike, but definitely not her. I had never seen Alexa that sexy and alluring, and as I watched, my jaw clenched in annoyance. How dare those godforsaken paid male prostitutes have the nerves to touch Alexa that way? Worse, her witch of a friend, Noelle, continued to scream and urge her on, and even more annoying that the money Alexa sprayed on them were mine.“Mark,” Vector called. “Mark,” he called again, and when Mark still didn’t answer or even take his eyes away from Alexa and her escapade, Vector decided to snap his fingers.“What?” I asked, turning to Vector, my eyes blazing with anger and rage. “What is it?” I asked him gruffly.“You have been staring over there for too lon

    MARK“Everyone knows that Alexa has been madly in love with you from the very first day she set her eyes on you, way before we even met.”The words still kept ringing in my head even as I arrived back at my mansion in good health. It was as though I was hearing the love word for the first time.Alexa was in love with me before now? Did she know me before I arrived at Mr. Silver’s house that fateful day?I didn’t get any answer to all the many questions that were flying through my head, majorly because after Ivy stormed out, I was too stunned to have said anything. Then Alexa had turned and walked out too.It had been a brief moment of emotions for me, especially, and before I could come out of it and ask Alexa about what Ivy said, I was told that she had already left. Now I was back at my house, strong and better, but with confusion in my head.There was also the revelation that Doctor Jones revealed to me, which was intense, and that too, I did not get answers to it. Ivy ensured that

    ALEXAMark’s question, although directed at Ivy, made me stop right where I was. My heart thundered loudly as I stood by the door and watched, waiting to listen for what Ivy’s response would be.Right after Noelle left, Ivy showed up and hurried past me to Mark’s ward and I had followed her immediately, trying to stop her, without even knowing how she got wing of the situation.Ivy was also frozen where she stood.The doctor seemed tense too.The only person that wasn’t in a tight situation, or wasn’t tense was Mark. He was furious, and it made me deeply worried, because I hadn’t seen him like that before.“Have you lost your tongue?” Mark asked, his brow corking and demanding an answer from Ivy.From Ivy’s standing position, I could still see Mark clearly.Ivy remained quiet and Mark grew increasingly upset.“I have just asked you a question, Ivy,” Mark demanded harshly.“What’s wrong?” Ivy managed to ask. I couldn’t see her face because she was backing me and facing Mark, but I cou

    MARK“Doctor Jones, I need answers right now,” I demanded firmly.I always suspected that something wasn’t just adding up, but no one seemed to be saying anything to me. Each time I asked Vector or talked to him about it, he always acted in a way that made me suspect that he was hiding something, but since I couldn’t get hold of it, I always let it slide.Now, I was determined not to.“You are my doctor and you are obligated to tell me everything that I need to know,” I declared firmly.When Doctor Jones looked at me again, his eyes were normal and neutral.“Listen, I think I will just write a new list and get you discharged. If you stick to you, this will not have to repeat itself again,” Doctor Jones said.There was something in his voice that told me that he was lying to me, or maybe hiding something. That thing had left his eyes and was now in his voice. As Doctor Jones turned to leave, I knew that he was trying to escape me, but I didn’t let him, so I held his hand firmly.“You d

    MARKI woke up feeling a slight headache and when I looked around and found myself in a familiar hospital ward, I was not entirely shocked or confused.Just dreadful.Being here reminded me of when I was here years ago, and I did not feel good about it. Instantly, I wanted to leave. There weren’t many things fixed to my body, which meant that I wasn’t in serious condition, and that would mean that I could leave.The door opened and Doctor Jones came in just then.“I see that someone is awake,” Doctor Jones said lightly as he walked over to my bed.“I feel good,” I said quickly, because knowing how Doctor Jones could be, he might begin to insist upon keeping me here for some more days.He smiled, knowing exactly what game I was playing at and what I was trying to avoid. “You are not the one to say if you are fine or not,” Doctor Jones said.I scoffed. “You might be a doctor, but you certainly cannot know my body more than I do,” I retorted. “If you have any plans of keeping me here lo

    ALEXA“I cannot believe that you agreed to do this, Alexa!” Noelle had said loudly.It had been the first time that she had agreed to come visit me at the hospital after I told her that I was staying with Mark just to ensure that he was doing okay.And for family obligations, of course.I had chipped that in to make her react less than I expected, but it hadn’t worked. Noelle had been livid and disappointed, and she hadn’t spoken to me for a month. It had been the first time that Noelle and I had stayed apart for that long, but not even her anger could prevent me from staying by Mark.He was in coma, but it felt like he was alive to me.Doctor Jones still hadn’t seen any positive changes in him aside from the fact that he was breathing fine, but I had stayed hopeful. Every single day, without fail, I talked with Mark and read him a book and told him about what was happening in the news.Blogs. Scandals. Gossips.To me, Mark Ronaldo was alive, and I hadn’t let anyone or his reports for

    ALEXAI couldn’t have said no to my dad’s request even if I had wanted to. There was no way I could have said no.Mark needed me even though he didn’t know it, and it had been an opportunity for me to actually be close to the man I loved for the very first time. I had always seen him from afar off, even when he came to the house to either pick up Ivy or have a discussion with my dad.“I am hoping that this will not take too long,” Mr. Silver had said as I prepared to go to the hospital to take care of Mark an hour after he told me. “Hopefully, he would be back on his feet. Leaving him alone would spark dirty rumors, and it is not good for us. You will have to step in and look after Mark since Ivy has abandoned her duty, but I promise you, Alexa, that you will get rewarded for this,” Mr. Silver had said.I was almost tempted to tell my dad that I did not need to be rewarded or compensated for taking care of Mark Ronaldo at a time when he needed it most. I loved Mark Ronaldo, and I wou
