“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   A Long Trip Away

    IVYI watched the housekeepers put my boxes in the car trunk as my eyes gathered tears.So this was to be my life now?There was absolutely nothing wrong with me, but with his power, the detective had switched everything and declared me mentally unstable.And now, a rehabilitation center.“Ivy,” Mr. Silver called and I turned.He hadn’t said a word since the whole incident. As a matter of fact, I hadn’t even set eyes on him until right now. My mum was driving me to the airport where I would be received by the rehab officials, and I didn’t think I would see him.I turned and looked at him.My mum was yet to come downstairs.“I know you might feel like I don’t love you as a father should, but I do,” he started.Right now, I couldn’t feel any emotion. Staring at him and listening to him, my mind was blank and my heart was stiff. Everything seemed to have turned against me. Nothing was ever going to be normal in my life again. I would be that woman who went to rehab forever. The stigma wo

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Far From Moved On

    MARKIt was now another long hours of waiting for Brent’s call whether or not the judge had ruled out the case or if it was going to become a full-blown court case.Way more than twenty-four hours and it was making me go mad.Unable to wait all by myself, I called Vector. After the private hearing, Vector had gone back to his apartment. The result would determine if we would be finally free or plunged into a deeper hole. I had thought that being alone in my mansion was the right thing to do; at least, it would give me private time to think about not just the case, but everything that had happened in the last couple of weeks, and how to reshape my life.But it turned out to be a terrible mistake.Every beep and call made me jump in anxiety, thinking it was Brent and being dead worried about what the result might be, and then, I hadn’t been able to think about anything else other than the case.Vector picked up almost immediately.“Mark, I was just about to call you,” Vector said.“Why?

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Surprise

    ALEXA“Oh my goodness!” Noelle opened her mouth in shock when I gave her the news.After signing the paper, I couldn’t wait any longer, especially when my dad said he needed to have a personal meeting with his lawyer.The city’s lawyers left almost immediately I signed the paper.“We will have the conversation in due time,” my dad had told me when I said I couldn’t wait.“We need to,” I told him firmly.I only signed it because of what he said. He still had a lot of explaining to do.“I will get in touch with you on how we can meet and have a deep conversation about it, and I will tell you everything,” he had said.“Okay, dad,” I had responded.But when I had turned to leave, he had stopped me.“Alexa?” He had called.“Yes, dad,” I had answered.“This is just to let you know that this isn’t a hidden affair, just in case you see it on the internet,” he had told me.“Even when it has not be officially finalized?” I had asked in shock.Then my dad had smiled thinly and said, “Your signat

    IVY“What?!” I exploded in shock.Everything I knew happened in less than twenty-four hours, and my mum was talking about a press release.“What press statement?” I asked.I felt like I was going insane. I could barely contain my emotions and control myself. It was just like when Oscar died.It was happening to me again.I hurried into Mr. Silver’s bedroom.“What press statement?” I asked again.“Did you go to the court yesterday to testify?” My mum asked.“Yes…I did,” I answered. The words seemed to be coming out too fast, making me stutter in the process, or speak as though I had no idea of what I was saying.“Why did you?” She asked.She was deeply pained, but more than that, she was very upset with me.“Because…the detective…Detective Kent called me to come and testify for the private court hearing of the case,” I answered hastily.“And you didn’t bother to tell anyone?!” My mum exploded in anger, her voice hitting the roof.I took two steps back for fear of being attacked by her

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Not His Favorite

    IVYI wanted to tell my mum what I just found out, badly, but she was rarely available.“I need to tell someone,” I said to myself as I paced from one side of my bedroom to the other.I thought of calling Alexa since I didn’t have any friends, but I quickly changed my mind. She was the last person that I would ever call. I still hated her, and she never liked Oscar anyway. If she hadn’t pushed him away so badly, he would not have felt the need to attack her.She still had a fault in all this.I thought of calling Mark, but he would never want to speak with me.“Gosh, I can’t believe I ruined everything with Mark over false allegations,” I sobbed with regret.My mother was right. I shouldn’t have accused Mark that way, and seeing that he had been innocent all along made me feel even more terrible, because now, I had neither Oscar nor Mark.My head was spinning in different directions.If the judge rules in favor of Mark, investigations would still continue. They must find the killer,
