ALEXA

“What is this about, Noelle?” I asked.

I dragged Noelle into the restaurant’s restroom after getting over the shock, which took about fifteen minutes for me, because I couldn’t quite understand what was going on.

“He said he wanted to surprise you,” Noelle said, slightly wary about my reaction because I was visibly upset.

She had noticed and had had to quietly asked those trying to take pictures to put their cameras down to give us privacy, but to me, that was a pointless move, because they had already started taking pictures the moment I walked in.

“Are you serious right now?” I asked, clearly disappointed in Noelle. “After everything we talked about and I made it clear that I didn’t want to be around Donald Shell for now?” I asked her, my voice laced with disappointment and anger.

“No, Alexa, you only said you didn’t want him to know your new address, and I stuck to that. He has been asking me since you stopped living at my apartment but I never told him,” Noelle tried to expl

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Ti Match Her Energy

    MARKMy visit to the hospital came with different emotions.I was upset that Donald went ahead to officially announce their relationship. It didn’t matter to me that Mr. Silver didn’t seem interested. I couldn’t even bank on that. The man was sick, and he must have felt that that was the wrong time to make such an announcement. Besides, wasn’t he having dinner the other evening with the same Donald?I felt disrespected by Noelle’s actions, but then again, it was inconsequential to me. I didn’t have to deal with her, and so far, we had not had the chance to run into each other. Since there was nothing going on between us, I wasn’t bothered by her hostility. However, I would not tolerate being disrespected for any reason.Then, I felt excited that Alexa and I would eventually be making the trip.“It’s a business trip, Mark,” I had to remind myself, but it didn’t stop me from feeling the way I was feeling. This would be the first time I would be taking a business trip with a woman, and i

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Heartfelt Conversation

    ALEXAI wished my dad had said no, but he hadn’t, and now, I had no choice but to start preparing for a trip to Toronto with Mark Ronaldo.“You don’t look happy,” my dad said after Mark left.“Why should I be?” I asked without pretending. “Why are you unhappy?” He asked me.“You are sick, dad, and we are not sure if you are going to get discharged before the weekend, and you are ready to push me away from you, and that is not fair,” I started emotionally. “We have been apart for a while now, especially after the rift, and now that I have the opportunity to spend time with you, you are willingly pushing me away,” I added.He smiled coyly, and I wondered what I had said that could have been so funny that he had to laugh about it.“What is funny?” I asked him.“Are you sure I am the only reason you don’t want to go to Toronto?” My dad asked me.I looked away slightly, and his smile increased into an ear-to-ear grin.“What other reason could there be?” I asked him.He paused for a minute

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The New Doc

    IVYI looked at the result again and again on my bed as I had been doing for the past week, my annoyance growing.“This is a set up,” I muttered to myself.They were the same words I had been saying to myself too, and at some point, I was worried that it was going to drive me insane.But I knew exactly what I was saying.“Ivy Silver,” the nurse in charge called.I ignored her and continued to look at the paper. Annoyance had caused me to crumple the paper and unfold it over and over again. I wanted to rip it into shreds, but I couldn’t. I didn’t. Not that I would be penalized for tearing the result, because they had a dozen of it in their document.This was just my copy to remind me of the evil and lies that was going on.“Stop pretending like you didn’t hear me call you, Ivy,” she warned with a scolding voice, but I didn’t pay her any mind.When I arrived her recently, I did everything I ought to do. I played by the books just so that they would realize that I wasn’t crazy, but it di

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Arousing Stubbornness

    MARKAlexa was being unnecessarily stubborn and hostile, and she had made me say things that I hadn’t even meant to say.Of course, I freaking cared that she was with Donald Shell. I would have cared if he was another man, because deep down, a tiny part of me wanted Alexa, but somehow, what was supposed to be a civil conversation between two adults had spiraled into exchange of words.Right there in the hallway.Why couldn’t we just have a conversation without Alexa spewing hateful and angry words and also pushing me to say things that I didn’t mean? And now, she was turning down an offer that I managed to secure for the good of her company.“This isn’t one of those offers you turn down, Alexa,” I said, trying to make her see reasons, but it was as though every time I opened my mouth, Alexa became more infuriated.“I don’t give a damn, Mark,” she declared.Alexa and I were standing close to each other, and somehow, her feistiness was arousing me. It was crazy to be feeling this way a

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Words That Hurt

    ALEXA“What?!” I asked in shock.This was the least of the things I had expected Mark to say.“Are you aware that my dad is sick and the weekend is just two days away?” I asked him.“Please, calm down,” Mark said calmly, obviously trying to calm me down, but I wasn’t having it.“Don’t tell me that, Mark,” I lashed out. “How can you be this insensitive?” I asked him angrily. “My dad could have died, Mark. Did you notice how sick and weak he is right now?” I questioned further.“I already made the call before I got the call that he was sick,” Mark said.The first thing that managed to creep inside my head was the fact that someone called Mark before I could get the hospital receptionist to do that. As for Donald, at least, I already knew that he was contacted by both Noelle and Clara, but they would never have called Mark, because they didn’t like him. Well, Clara did before, but not anymore, especially since things didn’t work out between Mark and her daughter, Ivy. I noticed it from

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   In The Ward

    ALEXAI walked into the ward to join everyone else, with only a few seconds apart from the time Donald walked in, and in the space of leaving Noelle and entering the ward, I had taken like a hundred deep breaths to keep myself calm so that I would be able to continue handling what seemed like a difficult situation.For the sake of my dad.I would never have done anything that would bring Donald and Mark in the same space. As much as I knew that they had never really been cordial to each other, I also didn’t like how being in their midst made me feel.No woman liked to be caught between her ex-husband and a man who was interested in her.“Honey, are you okay?” Donald asked me the moment I walked in.He hadn’t even had the chance to talk to my dad before I walked in. I noticed that Mark was standing close to my dad, and it was as though they had been talking since he got rushed to the hospital. The picture they created was that of a sick father having a moment with a son he cherished so
