Arousing Stubbornness

last update publish date: 2025-09-05 21:45:47

MARK

Alexa 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 wo

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Worst Things Happen To Me

    ALEXA“You have done more than enough for the day, Shirley,” I said to Shirley as soon as I walked into my dad’s living room, which was now mine anyway.My chest was hurting with fury. It was even a miracle I was speaking without exploding.Noelle and Shirley followed me into the living room as well, and they did so really quickly. As a matter of fact, since we left the fair a while ago, they had been quiet, which was good because one word from anyone and I would have lashed out at them even though they hadn’t done anything wrong to me.We went to my apartment to place everything right back to where it should be, and Shirley still drove back with us.I didn’t know why she bothered to, but I didn’t ask her.It was late already.“I just tried to do my job,” Shirley said with a calm voice.For hours at the fair, we got not a single contract. Donald Shell managed to scare off the one person that had had the courage to walk up to me. Shirley’s attempt to bring customers to our stand had be

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Game Between Two Women

    MARKAfter my company was crowned the winner of the fair, which of course, was a big deal, the rest of the fair was filled with celebrations, even down to the night.That was usually how the fair ended.But for me, it didn’t feel like a victory, especially as I didn’t see Alexa. The crowd was much, but again, I would see Alexa in any crowd whatsoever, so why didn’t I see her?“Congratulations, Mr. Mark Ronaldo!” Those were the words I kept hearing, and I tried to put up a smile so that it doesn’t look like I wasn’t happy to have won.Where was Alexa?“I am so happy for you, Mark,” Mona said, hugging me tightly and warmly.“Thank you, Mona,” I said.I felt slight guilt because all this time, I was thinking of Alexa and dying to set my eyes on her. Mona had been nothing but caring and supportive, and she didn’t deserve to be treated like this. Didn’t I assure myself that I had gotten over Alexa Silver?Why couldn’t I get her off my mind for hours now?I blamed Vector for bringing her t

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Just To See Her

    MARK“Are you really going to go over to her?” Vector had asked me when I made to leave after he pointed me in the direction of where Alexa had her business stand.“I just want to see her, that’s why,” I had responded to Vector.“But why?” Vector had asked. “You said you were moving on from her, and you are even in a relationship with Mona now,” he had reminded me. “What would you say to her if you went to her now? Do you want to trigger her? Do you want to upset her?” Vector had questioned me deeply.“Why are you being defensive over her, Vector,” I had asked. “I am not being defensive, Mark Ronaldo. I am just being very realistic, and it’s only fair that you go back to your lover whom you have been flaunting since the fair began, and stick with her,” Vector had said, almost angrily.Not that Vector really wanted me to be with Mona. I figured that he was just upset. He had always wanted me to be with Alexa and no one else.“What is the meaning of this?” I had asked Vector.“I just d

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   His Tiny Revenge

    ALEXA“I don’t know why Noelle is taking so much time,” I muttered to myself, becoming more and more uncomfortable being left alone.After what he said to me, my eyes began to dart about, seeking Donald Shell.I didn’t want him to appear without my notice. Now that I had been alerted, I wanted to stay conscious. Maybe that way, I wouldn’t be so scared.But inside of me was already shivering.“Gosh, I think I am going to be sick,” I said to myself as I placed my hand on my chest.The feeling at the pit of my stomach, mixed with dread, was making my head spin. Right now, I just wanted to leave. I didn’t care about the fair anymore or even my business; I hadn’t even had a single person look in my direction, and Shirley had been gone for a while now and yet nothing anyway.If leaving would make me feel better, keep my baby safe, and get me far away from Donald Shell, I would gladly forfeit it.If only I had raised the money, I would have flown out of Paris right this instant; that was how

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   In My Mind

    MARKSince Vector told me about seeing Alexa, I hadn’t been at rest. Against the wishes of my heart, my eyes kept wandering around, hoping to catch a glimpse of Alexa somewhere around.“Mark!” Mona called, drawing my attention back to her.“Huh?” I asked dumbly.“You haven’t heard a word of what I said,” she said.And she wasn’t lying.Mona had almost become invincible to me and I was really struggling to pay attention. It made me wish now that she had other friends so that she would give me some space. Vector had walked away with the excuse of wanting to explore after Mona returned with drinks, and I knew that he didn’t want an awkward situation with her, so he would rather just leave.“What were you saying?” I asked Mona even though I wasn’t particularly interested in anything she might have to say.“I was talking about moving in together,” Mona said.My eyes widened in shock.“Hell no!” I said instantly and vehemently, so much so that it made Mona sad. “What I mean is that it is t

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Never Leaving His Enemy

    ALEXATaking my eyes away from Marcus and Mona, who didn’t see me was quite easy, but taking it off my mind was completely impossible.Noelle and Shirley didn’t understand why I had to ask us to move to another corner. They hadn’t seen them too, and so I had to act before they did.I didn’t want to catch sight of Mark and his lover acting all loved all in the fair every single time I turned.“This is better,” I told Noelle and Shirley when we found a better spot.“It’s coming out nicely,” Noelle said gleefully.“And hopefully, it is going to be a fantastic day,” Shirley added.They were so optimistic that I didn’t have a choice other than to force a smile and nod in agreement. All I wanted was for something good to come out of today’s fair so that I could raise some money for the trip I wanted to make.That was all I was interested in.“Can I get you something to drink?” Noelle asked me. I was going to say that I wasn’t in the mood to have anything, and Noelle noticed it, so before

She wasn’t crying…yet, but she had traces of tears already.“Alexa, what’s wrong?” I asked her worriedly.This wasn’t the Alexa I left in the room. Actually, she wasn’t exactly thrilled. She had seemed l
