ALEXA

I wasn’t sure that this was the right thing to do, and I swallowed hard as I stood right in front of the home I grew up as a child.

The week had started well enough and things were going on just fine, especially with Noelle’s help, but I just couldn’t shake off the feeling of my dad off me. I did not mean to hide it away from Noelle, but I feared that she might dissuade me from trying out my luck again.

I knew that she was only looking out for me, but then again, I just couldn’t sit by and not do anything.

This was the very first time that my dad and I were having such misunderstandings. We had never fought before, talk more of getting thrown out of the house, so there was no way I could just wait for him to come around. What if he never did?

So I had told Noelle that I was going out on a lunch date with Oscar.

It was true, because I actually sent him a text message, but I left earlier than the time I scheduled to see Oscar because I wanted to try another shot at gaining my fath

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Taking A Firm Stand

    ALEXA“Why did you have to get an apartment?” Noelle asked me hours later.At first, she hadn’t pressed the issue, and we went back to working, but she was obviously troubled by the news and she could barely stay still about it.Especially as the clock was gradually ticking by.“I just wanted to live on my own,” I told Noelle.My response didn’t make her feel any better.“This is because of what I did, right?” Noelle asked, almost at the verge of tears. “Gosh, I have unintentionally kicked you out of your apartment,” she added wistfully.I shook my head.“Noelle, please, not everything is about you,” I said.“That’s not true,” Noelle objected. “I pissed you off and you decided to get an apartment to stay away from me,” she added sadly.I refused to feel guilty about making a decision by myself for the very first time. “Indeed, what you did pissed me off greatly, Noelle, but one thing it did was give me clarity,” I tried to explain.“And that clarity led you into realizing that you ne

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Just One Analysis

    MARK“My client, Mark Ronaldo, has been unjustly accused of conspiring with Oscar when he was alive, while his friend, Vector, has been accused of murdering Oscar,” Brent started.“Accused?” The attorney asked in a sneer.“Is there an issue with what Brent just said?” The judge asked the attorney.“Yes,” the attorney said.“What is it?” The judge asked.My eyes turned at that moment, and it met with Ivy’s. She definitely wanted me to get nailed for this; I could see it clearly in her eyes.“The person accused here was Mark Ronaldo, not Vector. A witness attested to seeing Mark run out of the apartment, but somehow, Vector jumped in and claimed that he was the one who was seen. The report is here, my lord,” the attorney said.He sounded really smart. I realized that Brent knew exactly what he was saying when he said that the state picked the absolute best to fight against me.And I knew without a doubt that this had all of Donald Shell’s involvement in it.“I know that this is an enclo

    ALEXANoelle and I sat in my office, alone. When she told my secretary not to let anyone in to see us, I was hoping that she also included Donald Shell.He was the last person I wanted to see right now.“You came,” Noelle started. “I have been worried sick about you and trying to reach you, but you have been unreachable,” she said.“My secretary told me and I did tell her to inform you that I was okay,” I said drily.Right now, even though I wanted to, I just wasn’t feeling anything. Deep inside, there wasn’t any form of emotion running through me. I just sat there, bland.“She told me, Alexa,” Noelle said, feeling sad. “Where did you pass the night?” She asked.“At a hotel,” I told her.Noelle sighed, visibly hurt by that information.“Listen, Alexa, I am sorry about everything that happened,” Noelle apologized. “Maybe I came off too harshly, but trust me, it is because I want the best for you,” she stated.“But have you ever considered the thought that maybe I might also know what i

    MARK“Are you two ready?” Brent asked Vector and I before we stepped into the court.As explained, there were no reporters or paparazzi or bloggers. The only persons present were Detective Kent, Brent, Ivy, Vector, and I. Even Donald, as much as he might have wanted to, couldn’t come because it was a private hearing.“Yes, we are,” I answered for both of us.The detective already led Ivy into the courtroom.“That’s good,” Brent said.His voice was tighter and more professional than usual, and I understood that it was because we were seeing him at court now.This was our first time.“Brent?” I called.“Yes,” he responded.“I just want to really thank you for this,” I said, my voice thick with emotion. “You have no idea how much this means to me,” I added.If I hadn’t been a Ronaldo, I probably would have had tears in my eyes by now, because truly, I doubted he even knew how much he was being helpful. Never would I have imagined that anyone could have a court case devoid of the media wh

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Hanging Over Us

    MARK My driver drove Vector and I to the court. It turned out that Brent’s application to get us a private hearing of the case pulled through and the hearing was today.I decided to use my driver because I didn’t want to drive the car myself.Vector and I were too agitated and nervous for that.“Brent is such a fantastic lawyer,” Vector said, breaking the silence between us.We hadn’t said much to each other since Brent called the day before to give us the positive news. Not that we were beefing each other, but the truth was that Vector and I had been consumed with the thought of what the outcome might be.The end of this would either be the freedom for Vector and me, or it would turn our lives upside down.Vector would be affected greatly; he might even spend the rest of his life in jail if it goes badly, because he already took the fall, and I would definitely be dragged into it.Our lives might as well be over.So those were the thoughts that consumed us, so much so that we couldn
