ALEXA“I am sorry, I shouldn’t have just jump on you like that,” I quickly untangled myself from the hug, feeing flushed with embarrassment.“It’s okay,” Oscar said. His voice sounded calm and it made me relieved. However, he was still a stranger whom I had agreed to meet with last minute just as curtsey, and because Noelle would not have let me have peace until I accepted to have lunch with him.“Please, sit,” he offered a seat to me and I sat down almost immediately.The brunt of my encounter with my dad and Clara was still weighing heavily on my head, and just being here made me feel less sad. Also, there was something soothing about Oscar’s presence that just made me feel less horrible about everything that had happened.“Thank you,” I said.“You have been crying,” Oscar said.It was not a question but a statement of fact, one that showed that he was very observant of me, because right before I came into the restaurant, I had dried my tears. “What happened?” Oscar asked, his voi

MARKOnly one day at the company and one minute with the stakeholders had made me realize the depth of risk I was into. They were truly nothing but greedy and hungry men, seeking to take the company away from me.However, the fact that I was now engaged would put them on hold for now.“You should get married soon, because they would always look for ways to ensure that they get what they want, which is the company. The company’s clause is that the CEO must stay married otherwise he would be declared unfit to run the company. You have already breached that twice now. I would not advise you to do it again,” Mr. Devon had warned.“But what sort of clause is that? Why should it ever be there in the first place? What are they bloody stakeholders doing in the company?” I had asked Mr. Devon.“Now is not the time to start questioning what you cannot change,” Mr. Devon had answered tightly. “What you should be concerned about is ensuring that they have no reason to pull you out,” Mr. Devon had

ALEXA“There was something off about all the things he said over lunch, Noelle,” I told Noelle as we sat at the dining table to have dinner later that day.“Really?” Noelle asked, her mouth filled with food, so much so that she would have choked if I hadn’t handed her the nearest glass of water.I had to wait for her to be stable before responding.“He mentioned places that I hadn’t been to in the last year,” I explained to Noelle. “You know that I dedicated all my time into nurturing the home that Mark and I were supposed to share as a couple. Every errand was run by the maids while I handled literally everything in the home,” I added, and it was true.Oscar had mentioned that he began noticing me a year ago, which just didn’t add up, coupled with mentioning names of places that I had not stepped foot in for a long time now.“Did you tell him that he was lying?” Noelle asked me.I shook my head. “I didn’t tell him. In fact, I allowed him say whatever he liked even though I knew he wa

MARKI had to invite Vector to be present when interviewing the potential maids even though I had already initially given the task to Ivy, which she seemed excited to do.Somehow, a part of me just didn’t trust her to do a fantastic and perfect job like Alexa would have done, and I was right, because after seeing her interview about six women, I knew that she was doing a horrible job at it.“How come she can’t even find a suitable maid for me?” I asked Vector, sounding low so that Ivy would not hear what I was saying.We were all sitting in the living room, but because my living room was spacious enough, Ivy and the women being interviewed occupied one part of the living room while Vector and I stayed at the other corner of the living room. If Alexa had been in charge, there would not even have been need for me to stick around like a supervisor. When Alexa was here, I knew next to nothing about the affairs of my home, and I never envisioned that I would be, but with the way Ivy was g

MARKI completely speechless seeing Alexa in my living room…the living room we once shared as a couple, unexpectedly.She looked downright angry, but it was nothing compared to the shock I was feeling for her unannounced visit, and I instantly began to wonder what she could be doing here.“What are you doing here, Alexa?” Ivy asked angrily and harshly.“I am not here for you, yet,” Alexa answered confidently.Each time she spoke since the divorce, she always seemed like someone who I hadn’t known, or was even married to. Alexa Silver had become a feisty woman that dominated the room that she was in, and it made me drawn to her even more. Right now, although no one knew about it, I was deeply aroused. It was a good thing that I was wearing something that prevented my arousal from being obvious.The words of Doctor Jones flashed through my head and I quickly shook my head to dismiss it. She certainly did not barge in here to let me have my way with her or experiment with her, so that w

IVYAs soon as Mark and Alexa walked out of the living room to Mark’s study, I knew that I couldn’t take it. I just couldn’t stand here and watch Alexa work her charms on Mark, even though I was angry with Mark for demanding privacy with Alexa instead of kicking her out.I began to follow them angrily, determined to disrupt whatever private meeting Mark wanted to have with her when I felt a strong arm grab my wrist.For a moment, I thought that it was one of Mark’s bodyguards, and I was ready to bite his head off when I realized that it was Vector. I had totally forgotten that he had been in the living room as well all along.“What is the meaning of this, Vector?” I asked Vector, glaring at him.“Don’t do anything stupid,” Vector said, carefully releasing my hand. “Let them be, Ivy,” Vector said.It was not a command; no, there was no way Vector would be able to command me, because he knew exactly what I held over his head, but it sounded more like a plea.“You are asking me to let th

ALEXAThe only reason I agreed to speak with Mark in the privacy of his study was simply because not only did I want answers to my question, but I also didn’t want to have to face Ivy. Seeing her face just made me very upset.Or so I told myself to make me feel less stupid for agreeing a freaking privacy meeting with Mark Ronaldo over something he could have very well answered in less than five seconds.The moment we entered the study, I was reminded of our electrifying kiss that last time I was here, and I immediately regretted my decision, but turning back now was not an option.“Can I have my answer now?” I asked Mark instantly.I did not want him to get the notion that I was enjoying being alone with him. Just as being in his study reminded me of the kiss, being here also reminded me of the years of neglect and abandonment, and not appreciating me enough.In all, I hadn’t forgotten who Mark Ronaldo was to me.“Why are asking these questions, Alexa?” Mark asked me.“I didn’t come i

MARKI could rarely believe that Alexa agreed to it. I had almost thought it was a dream, but when we went back to the living room to meet Ivy and Vector and Alexa did not walk out, I knew that she meant the acceptance.“Can she leave now?” Ivy asked the moment Alexa and I came out of my study.She looked angry and upset, but then again, she was the least of my worries. Meanwhile, Vector had a look that I could not quite explain.“No, she is not leaving now,” I answered, deliberately ignoring the look on Ivy’s face.“And why not?” Ivy asked, astonished and upset.“Because she is going to be helping me with the interview,” I announced.I had been tempted to tell Alexa about Doctor’s Jones’s prescription, but if I did, I knew that she would think I was crazy, and she would leave and never speak to me again; the Alexa I knew now was very well capable of doing that. So I decided to use her services in the area that seemed reasonable. Surprisingly, and fortunately for me, Alexa hadn’t need

MARKEverything that had happened in the last couple of hours continued to plague my thoughts. Ivy had lied to me, and I had been stupid enough to let the one woman who stood with me and nurtured me back to health instead.I really wished now that I could turn back the hands of time. I would have stopped that divorce by every means possible. Now it dawned on me why I could only get aroused by Alexa Silver. It was like that with her because she was the only one my body was connected to when it was shut down in coma. Everyone around me had lied. They all knew, yet they had allowed me to live in lies for years! Doctor Jones knew; maybe he should be the one to get arrested first. Vector, the one person I thought was my best friend also knew, but he decided to take Ivy’s side. All along, I had thought that he had a fond likeness for Alexa, which was why all the years that we were married, he never had any ill thing to say about her. Yet, he had also lied to me.Ivy’s deception had been t

ALEXAReturning to my office seemed like a horrible idea, because I could not stop being agitated. Fortunately, my assistant didn’t have any more bad news for me, so I simply asked her to change the door sign to close and close for the day.He knows now; what next is going to happen?Or maybe I might be the one over-thinking things or overreacting. Mark had never cared about me, not even after I nursed him back to good health and stayed by his side for years. No, he never cared. Most men would have already known that I was hopelessly in love with him by then, but Mark Ronaldo, because he was still in love with Ivy, was too blind to see.Why else would I accept to marry him in the blink of an eye? Why would I still stay even after Ivy returned and tried to get him back? Even if I had taken care of him when he was in coma, I should have left the moment he woke up, but I didn’t. It had been for devotion, but every other sacrifice I had made wasn’t.It was for love.I continued to pace ab

IVY“I just want to hide my head in shame, mum,” I said to my mum as I buried my face in my hand. “We have worked so hard to get here, and now I have ruined everything,” I sobbed deeply.She stayed quiet, as she would usually do most times, and her silence always spoke the loudest volumes, because I knew without a doubt that she was already plotting something, which was why I was always confident to run to her for everything.She always had solutions to every single problem.After I left Mark’s ward at the hospital, I had realized that I made a terrible mistake by revealing Alexa’s feelings for him, but then again, I had been in the most agitated state, not knowing what to do and the words had just come out.It had saved me from that confrontation, but I had ruined things in the process.“Mark is going to call off the engagement; I am sure of it,” I continued when she remained quiet. “Maybe I could have found something else to say, but at that time, I was too nervous to think of somet

MARK“Everyone knows that Alexa has been madly in love with you from the very first day she set her eyes on you, way before we even met.”The words still kept ringing in my head even as I arrived back at my mansion in good health. It was as though I was hearing the love word for the first time.Alexa was in love with me before now? Did she know me before I arrived at Mr. Silver’s house that fateful day?I didn’t get any answer to all the many questions that were flying through my head, majorly because after Ivy stormed out, I was too stunned to have said anything. Then Alexa had turned and walked out too.It had been a brief moment of emotions for me, especially, and before I could come out of it and ask Alexa about what Ivy said, I was told that she had already left. Now I was back at my house, strong and better, but with confusion in my head.There was also the revelation that Doctor Jones revealed to me, which was intense, and that too, I did not get answers to it. Ivy ensured that

ALEXAMark’s question, although directed at Ivy, made me stop right where I was. My heart thundered loudly as I stood by the door and watched, waiting to listen for what Ivy’s response would be.Right after Noelle left, Ivy showed up and hurried past me to Mark’s ward and I had followed her immediately, trying to stop her, without even knowing how she got wing of the situation.Ivy was also frozen where she stood.The doctor seemed tense too.The only person that wasn’t in a tight situation, or wasn’t tense was Mark. He was furious, and it made me deeply worried, because I hadn’t seen him like that before.“Have you lost your tongue?” Mark asked, his brow corking and demanding an answer from Ivy.From Ivy’s standing position, I could still see Mark clearly.Ivy remained quiet and Mark grew increasingly upset.“I have just asked you a question, Ivy,” Mark demanded harshly.“What’s wrong?” Ivy managed to ask. I couldn’t see her face because she was backing me and facing Mark, but I cou

MARK“Doctor Jones, I need answers right now,” I demanded firmly.I always suspected that something wasn’t just adding up, but no one seemed to be saying anything to me. Each time I asked Vector or talked to him about it, he always acted in a way that made me suspect that he was hiding something, but since I couldn’t get hold of it, I always let it slide.Now, I was determined not to.“You are my doctor and you are obligated to tell me everything that I need to know,” I declared firmly.When Doctor Jones looked at me again, his eyes were normal and neutral.“Listen, I think I will just write a new list and get you discharged. If you stick to you, this will not have to repeat itself again,” Doctor Jones said.There was something in his voice that told me that he was lying to me, or maybe hiding something. That thing had left his eyes and was now in his voice. As Doctor Jones turned to leave, I knew that he was trying to escape me, but I didn’t let him, so I held his hand firmly.“You d

MARKI woke up feeling a slight headache and when I looked around and found myself in a familiar hospital ward, I was not entirely shocked or confused.Just dreadful.Being here reminded me of when I was here years ago, and I did not feel good about it. Instantly, I wanted to leave. There weren’t many things fixed to my body, which meant that I wasn’t in serious condition, and that would mean that I could leave.The door opened and Doctor Jones came in just then.“I see that someone is awake,” Doctor Jones said lightly as he walked over to my bed.“I feel good,” I said quickly, because knowing how Doctor Jones could be, he might begin to insist upon keeping me here for some more days.He smiled, knowing exactly what game I was playing at and what I was trying to avoid. “You are not the one to say if you are fine or not,” Doctor Jones said.I scoffed. “You might be a doctor, but you certainly cannot know my body more than I do,” I retorted. “If you have any plans of keeping me here lo

ALEXA“I cannot believe that you agreed to do this, Alexa!” Noelle had said loudly.It had been the first time that she had agreed to come visit me at the hospital after I told her that I was staying with Mark just to ensure that he was doing okay.And for family obligations, of course.I had chipped that in to make her react less than I expected, but it hadn’t worked. Noelle had been livid and disappointed, and she hadn’t spoken to me for a month. It had been the first time that Noelle and I had stayed apart for that long, but not even her anger could prevent me from staying by Mark.He was in coma, but it felt like he was alive to me.Doctor Jones still hadn’t seen any positive changes in him aside from the fact that he was breathing fine, but I had stayed hopeful. Every single day, without fail, I talked with Mark and read him a book and told him about what was happening in the news.Blogs. Scandals. Gossips.To me, Mark Ronaldo was alive, and I hadn’t let anyone or his reports for

ALEXAI couldn’t have said no to my dad’s request even if I had wanted to. There was no way I could have said no.Mark needed me even though he didn’t know it, and it had been an opportunity for me to actually be close to the man I loved for the very first time. I had always seen him from afar off, even when he came to the house to either pick up Ivy or have a discussion with my dad.“I am hoping that this will not take too long,” Mr. Silver had said as I prepared to go to the hospital to take care of Mark an hour after he told me. “Hopefully, he would be back on his feet. Leaving him alone would spark dirty rumors, and it is not good for us. You will have to step in and look after Mark since Ivy has abandoned her duty, but I promise you, Alexa, that you will get rewarded for this,” Mr. Silver had said.I was almost tempted to tell my dad that I did not need to be rewarded or compensated for taking care of Mark Ronaldo at a time when he needed it most. I loved Mark Ronaldo, and I wou
