The scar from the injury incurred at Oscar’s apartment was taking its precious time to heal, and I knew that I should continue hiding in the house to prevent nosy gossips from carrying the news, but with what I read about Alexa being attacked and Oscar being arrested, I just couldn’t continue staying holed up.

I had been isolated for days, but not once did Mark think to call or even ask about me.

I was scared and worried that he had moved on without me, especially with the stunt I pulled a

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Standing In The Way

    MARK“You haven’t answered my question, Mona,” I told her tightly.“Oh, but I have,” Mona responded.Then she sat back down, gently placing the bottle of champagne on the table.“I came to celebrate with you, and I figured that since we would be parents soon, we should spend the New Year together,” she added. “And where are you coming from at this time of the night?” Mona asked, staring at me.“We are not going to be a family, Mona,” I blurted out angrily, ignoring her question.She was gradually becoming a problem I couldn’t get rid of.“I am pregnant for you, Mark,” Mona reminded me.And I really wished that she wasn’t.I knew I was being cruel right now, but I couldn’t it.Blaming Alexa for being the reason I got together with Mona; if she hadn’t pushed me away, I would never have considered Mona, would have been good, just as I had earlier done, but the truth was that I couldn’t blame her.Alexa didn’t ask me to be with another woman.I could have kept to myself and stayed celibat

    MARKOn my way back home, I called Vector; I just couldn’t wait.“Vector, were you sleeping already?” I asked the moment the call connected.It was almost midnight already, so it was quite possible that Vector might have slept off, but from the sound of his voice, it didn’t seem like he was sleeping, and even if he was, I didn’t mind waking him up. Vector was my best friend for a reason.“No, I wasn’t,” Vector responded. “And why do you sound so excited?” Vector asked.But before I could give an answer, he had already figured it out.“This is about your night with Alexa, isn’t it?” He asked me.“Yes, it is,” I answered, relieved that he hadn’t totally forgotten that I was spending the eve with Alexa.“Hmm, it must have gone well with the way you are sounding,” Vector stated with suspicion in his voice.“I asked her to marry me,” I blurted out.“What?” Vector was stunned to his bones. “You didn’t tell me that you were going to do something like that,” Vector added.“I didn’t think I wa

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Before New Year

    ALEXA“He asked me to marry him, Noelle!” I yelled into the phone as soon as Mark drove out and Noelle picked up.It was about a few minutes to the New Year.Mark and I had surprisingly spent more hours at the local diner, way more than we had ever spent with each other, and after his proposal, I could barely wait to talk to Noelle.I wasn’t certain she would pick up, but I was too desperate not to try.“What?” Noelle was stunned to her bones. “Who?” Noelle asked even though we both knew who I was referring to.“Mark asked me to marry him a while ago, Noelle,” I blurted out again.I just couldn’t get into the house, so I stopped in the living room to speak with Noelle. Every part of me was acting in a way I couldn’t even understand. I didn’t know how best to explain it.Mark Ronaldo and I were married for five years before our messy divorce, but this was the first time he was actually asking me to marry him…a few hours to the New Year!“Are you serious?” Noelle sounded more stupefied.

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Out Of The Blue

    MARKSince Alexa wanted to talk about something else, I didn’t have a choice but to oblige her. Thankfully, she wasn’t asking something that might ruin the mood, and hopefully, I would be able to find my way around telling her how I felt.“Well, Reyna helped me make the necessary arrangements,” I told her.The moment I did, I caught something flash in Alexa’s eyes, but I really couldn’t tell what it was because it disappeared almost immediately, but it dawned on me that it probably had to be because Reyna once worked for her and her father.“I am sorry about getting Reyna to work for me,” I cleared my throat and said.The air between us was changing, and I really didn’t want it to, but then again, avoiding it wasn’t the solution to it.“It’s fine,” Alexa said, but I didn’t feel that way.I shook my head.“I don’t think I ever apologized for it,” I said.“What’s there to apologize for? If you didn’t hire her, someone else would have,” Alexa responded.She didn’t sound very pissed off,

    MARKWhy in heaven’s name would Mona choose this moment to call?I really should have switched it off, but I didn’t even remember that I had a working cell phone after I saw Alexa walking down that stairs in that dress.Everything else in my head disappeared.And now, she chose this moment to call. I intentionally didn’t speak to Mona at all because I wanted this moment with Alexa to be special.She could have called me during hours of the day, but she didn’t until this very moment. As soon as I ended the call, I ensured that I turned off the phone and kept it in my pocket so that I wouldn’t have to deal with such distractions.Tonight was special.I didn’t want anything or anyone to ruin it.“I am so sorry about that, Alexa. It was someone from work, and I don’t want us to be distracted,” I lied.Gosh, I hated lying to Alexa.She would hate me if she found out about the lie and the big secret I was keeping from her, and I dreaded that as well because more than anyone else, I knew how

    ALEXA“Mark,” I said, the words coming out in a gasp of breath.Mark stopped and turned to me worriedly.“Is anything wrong?” Mark asked me. “You don’t like it?” He asked further.He was so worried that I could see it in his eyes.I shook my head.“No, Mark, it’s not that,” I responded.“Then what’s wrong?” I questioned further.Mark was so tender and careful that it warmed my heart. It was as though he was being extremely careful not to hurt me or break my heart.If only he had been like this from the very beginning…“There’s nothing wrong, Mark,” I said, making him confused. “It’s just that this is so beautiful,” I eventually said.And that was because my breath had been taken away.Mark sighed with deep relief knowing now that it wasn’t something he had done wrong.The interior was decorated in a cozy and an older pattern. It reminded me of when I was much younger.Although, unlike Mark, I didn’t get to spend time with any of my grandparents as they passed when I was a kid, but the
