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 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

    MARKReyna returned to my office to show me the schedule that she had come up with.She didn’t start working for me, but first, she needed to go through the schedules and create her own template, and I gave her time to do so.An hour later, she came back to my office and showed it to me.I couldn’t deny how impressed I was at her competence, but then again, Reyna had already proven to me that she was more than capable.“Is there anything you would like me to adjust, correct, take out, or add?” Reyna asked professionally.“Not a single thing,” I responded. “I am just going to send you a list of what I have on my table to get done for the rest of the week, and you can fix them in the schedule so that you can remind me about them when it is time,” I added.“Of course, Mr. Mark,” she answered.I thought that she would return to her desk, but she didn’t.“Is there anything else?” I asked, looking up at her.The sadness in her eyes was still very much there, and it reminded me of my own pai

    ALEXAA rumbling sound in my stomach forced me awake.“Am I hungry?” I asked myself, almost in disbelief.For the entire day yesterday, I wasn’t sure I had anything to eat. Heck, I was lying down in the hospital all day and grieving the passing of my dad. However, I still didn’t expect that I would be this famished.It was as though my stomach was completely empty and on fire.“When have I ever been this hungry?” I asked myself as I got out of bed.My first instinct was to get something to eat because the hungry seemed to be feasting on my system. I had thought that with everything that was going on, I wouldn’t have an appetite.Quite frankly, I didn’t even want to eat anything, but with the hunger in my stomach, I couldn’t even control it.I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth quickly, but just as I stepped out of the bathroom, Shirley called.“Good morning, Miss Alexa,” she greeted as soon as I picked up the call.“Shirley, is everything okay?” I asked because I just wanted

    MARKI resumed work as early as possible, and after interviewing two more persons but finding none of them worthy, I gave up.“Damn it,” I said to myself.I pulled out my cell phone and dialed a number. She picked up almost immediately.“Good morning, Mr. Mark,” Reyna greeted.“Is this too early to call knowing that you no longer go to work?” I asked considerately. “You might be taking a rest,” I added.“No, Mr. Mark, I have been up,” she answered. “Is there something I can do for you?” She asked me politely.“You might not know this, but I fired my secretary and got her arrested for teaming against me,” I said, getting right to the point.“I am sorry about that,” she apologized.I waved my hands off dismissively as though Reyna was right here and she could see me.“You don’t have to be sorry about it, Reyna. She is only facing the consequences of her actions,” I responded. And then I went on with what I was trying to say.“I have been interviewing a couple of potential candidates, b

    ALEXAWhen I got to the door, I pushed it open and it obeyed me. Maybe I didn’t think that it would because I was too weak to even apply any form of force.I was weak emotionally and physically.All I wanted to do was get to my dad’s bedroom, take out all his clothes, lay them on his bed, and curl up right there. That was exactly what I had done when my mum passed; it helped me to stay sane for a while. Hopefully, it would do the same now.Or maybe it wouldn’t because of the shame and guilt I was feeling deep inside. It was eating me up so badly that I could hardly breathe.“I understand the terms. You have laid them out before,” a voice said.I stopped, trying to catch the voice and where it was speaking from.“You know I have been nothing but obedient and diligent,” the voice said again, and this time around, I was able to catch the voice.It was Clara talking and the voice was coming from the aisle downstairs.At first, I had thought that it was the kitchen, but knowing Clara, she

    ALEXA“It’s a little late, ma’am,” Shirley told me when she saw that I was ready to leave the hospital.“I should be saying that to you, Shirley,” I responded tightly.My heart was still in chaos.“You are my secretary, and it is way past your closing time,” I added by reminding her.She stayed quiet for a little bit before speaking again.“I don’t mind being here,” Shirley said. “And I don’t mind spending the night with you…just in case you need anything,” she added, offering carefully.I shook my head.“Not to sound ungrateful, Shirley, but there will be no need for that,” I responded firmly.And Shirley knew that at this point, she couldn’t force her way into anything.The door opened and the doctor walked into the ward, just as we were about to leave, and he became instantly surprised.“I thought to come and check up on you and ensure that you are resting,” he said worriedly. “Where are you going?” He asked.“Home,” I responded.“But I haven’t discharged you yet,” he said.“Only t

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Guilt. Regret. Shame

    ALEXAI felt the presence of people, or maybe someone around me before I opened my eyes, and I really wished I didn’t.I thought I was dead.I wanted to be dead.“Thank goodness you are awake,” the doctor said.My eyes were still a little blurry, but I could see the nurse standing somewhere in the ward, along with Shirley, and the pitiful look in their eyes was evident.“Is he truly dead?” I asked.My heart was so heavy that I wondered how I was able to even speak. While I stayed unconscious, that was the only thing I could think about, and by God, I really wanted to be dead.“Yes, Alexa,” the doctor answered pitifully.Streams of tears flowed down my cheeks and I didn’t bother with controlling them. The tears were nothing compared to the ache and emptiness in my heart. I never thought I would ever have to experience this sort of tragedy.“We really tried to resuscitate him, but his system was failing, and that was due to the fact that his heart was already weak, even before the heart
