LOGINALEXAI couldn’t tell for how long, but I knew that I dozed off again.While I was unconscious, a lot of things happened in a world I didn’t understand. It was as though I was being operated upon and there were a ton of doctors hovering over me, and that made me uncomfortable.I was glad to be able to open my eyes to a place I knew; the hospital ward, but then again, it brought me back to my misery, and instantly, I began to shed tear.My baby was gone.“Alexa,” Noelle called gently.This time around, I didn’t even realize that someone was in the ward with me. The moment Noelle spoke, I knew that she was the one.Her voice was crystal clear in my head.I turned and looked at Noelle, who stared at me with a worried look.Before I dozed off again, I recalled that Shirley was here. Maybe that was even hours ago and she had left.“Noelle,” I whispered sadly as more tears streamed down my cheeks.My heart was breaking all over again and I couldn’t stop it. I already knew that I wouldn’t be
MARKI started calling Alexa back, but her cell phone just wasn’t connecting anymore.“My goodness, what the heck is going on?” I asked myself as I began to grab everything I needed to leave.My heart was racing really fast.A part of me knew that Alexa wouldn’t have called so many times if there wasn’t something urgent. Goodness, I really hoped that she was okay.“Mr. Mark! Is everything okay?” Reyna asked worriedly when she saw me bursting through my office door like a lunatic.Still, I didn’t even have the time to pause and stop.“I am leaving for the day!” I managed to answer as I hurried into the elevator.Now was not the time to stand still for even a second and wait.Cannon Dexter wasn’t present at the moment because I told him earlier that his services wasn’t needed at the moment. I drove Alexa to the hospital myself and back, and so I hurried into my car and began to drive out.There was no part of my brain that asked me to slow down because I was really going too fast, and h
ALEXAI had thought that I would pass out before the cop reached the hospital, but I didn’t. However, the pain kept intensifying.“Please, hang on, ma’am. I am trying my very best to get you there as fast as I could,” he had kept telling me.Being that he was a cop, he was able to drive at a higher speed to get me to the hospital, faster than any regular person would have done. And then he had called out to those in the emergency.The response had been swift and I had been rolled into the ICU and my doctor instantly alerted. He had come and begun to work on me. The first thing I noticed he did was to numb my pain before doing everything else.“Doctor, what is wrong? Have I lost my baby?” I had asked him.“Just relax and let me take a look at what is wrong, okay?” The doctor had requested calmly and warmly.But I had been very impatient. I had wanted to keep asking and insisting that he told me what I needed to know, my heart panting in horror and with fear of losing the baby, but shor
MARKThe meeting I had with my senior staff members took longer than expected. Usually, meetings like this would take about two to three hours, but this time around, even after four hours, we weren’t done.There were so much to talk about.“This is our first meeting of the year,” I told them. “We should have held this meeting in the first week of the year, but I have been caught up with other things,” I added, my eyes scanning the room.The men nodded in understanding, but a part of me could see them trying to figure out what had kept my attention for the very first time.Everyone who worked for me knew that if there was one thing I didn’t joke about, it was my company, but for the first time in my entire existence, I was saddled with something else that I just couldn’t get out of no matter how hard I tried.Or maybe they weren’t trying to figure it out. Maybe it was my own thoughts that were messing up with my head.Of course, they all knew that I got married recently, but what they
ALEXA“Oh, goodness, I can’t lose my baby,” I cried some more.The pain had increased so badly that I couldn’t even move my legs anymore. Every passing second, the pain in my lower abdomen increased. It was like a shooting star that almost tore my body into two parts.Worse, Mark wasn’t picking up.After calling him almost ten times, I realized that he wouldn’t pick up.Was he upset that I hadn’t spoken to him all through the drive back from the hospital? Was he mad that I hadn’t allowed him to come in with me?Jeez, he literally just left here about an hour ago.How could he not pick up my calls, especially as I was repeatedly calling? Didn’t it occur to him that it would have to be extremely urgent and life-threatening for me to be calling him?I had no doubt that if it was Mona, he would have picked up immediately.Another sharp pain shot through me and I cried out in pain. Unfortunately, no one was upstairs with me and could hear me.I tried to call Noelle and Shirley one more tim
MARK“Sir, you have a call you are yet to answer,” Reyna told me the moment I settled into my office.For her to be giving me this information meant that the call had come through my company’s landline, and it was official.“Any idea who it is?” I asked Reyna.“A certain Mr. Shaw,” she responded.“Oh, shit,” I lamented.He was the business associate I had been speaking with, and this information just reminded me that I ought to have spoken to him since the last time we talked.“Are you going to take it now or should I tell him that you are unavailable at the moment?” Reyna asked professionally.“I will have to take it now,” I responded.“Alright, sir,” Reyna said.Then with a nod, she walked out of my office.Just as I was about to take the call, my cell phone chimed with a text message notification. Subconsciously, I checked first to see what it was about, and I realized that it was a huge mistake because I shouldn’t have.“Hey, honey, don’t forget that we have baby shopping by the w
ALEXAToday being a new day, I decided to concentrate on spending time in the attic and getting rid of old and useless things.I just wanted to get my mind off two disturbing things; the harsh reality that hit after Donald Shell announced to the public of the new name he had changed the company to.
ALEXAFor a couple of seconds, I was rendered speechless.“What?” I said through rasped breath when I was eventually able to say something, but it came out in a whisper that I didn’t even think that Noelle would have heard me.“Yes, Alexa, I am engaged,” Noelle said.Her excitement was even realer
MARK“You are going to regret this, Mark Ronaldo. Don’t ever think that the battle between us is over,” Donald Shell eventually said.If he was trying to threaten me, he didn’t succeed.“I think we now know that you don’t hold anything over me,” I told him confidently and with a smirk.“But I do ha
MARK“I am not here because of you, Mark, and I have been given right to come here,” Clara said firmly.“Don’t move an inch,” I said to the cops warningly as I brought out my cell phone.They were obviously the ones leading Clara, and they would be the ones to stop her from proceeded further into t
