ALEXA

I went to my store that morning and Noelle promised to stop by later. Meanwhile, I had already made an appointment with the detective who advised that the earlier I filed the case, the better.

Ever since I heard the news of Oscar’s death and how Mark had ordered for his release, I had been having a torrent of emotions. The urge to see him which I had earlier had vanished completely.

“But why was he allowed to release Oscar,” I had asked the detective.

“Because he has the power and influence, and also, you didn’t file any case, so we couldn’t have been able to hold him back,” the detective had explained. “Miss Alexa, there is so much that you need to know about, but this isn’t a phone conversation. I will strongly advise that you come to the station and file the case as soon as possible, otherwise, he might just get away with another crime,” he had added deeply.

And I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Apparently, Mark was more dangerous as I thought, and the more things were being

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Double The Trouble

    ALEXAMaybe I was being selfish, but I really wanted Mark to put me first for once.“He is a man, Alexa, of course, he would only do what pleases him,” a voice in my head told me.Mark might never hurt me like Donald tried to, but he was not any different; he would always put his pride and company above me, as he had always done from the very beginning.I was never going to be a priority, and as I stared at the paper that he had given back to me before he left, I realized that I was all alone now.“Miss Alexa,” my secretary called, drawing my attention back to the reality.Mark promised that he would be here in an hour time, but he had failed me in the past before, so why should I trust him now?As a matter of fact, Mark Ronaldo was the only man who had failed me over and over again, and had broken my love and trust for him, so there was no way I could count on him now…not after what just happened to me.“Yes,” I managed to answer.I couldn’t even go into the building because of how I

    ALEXAI stared at the eviction notice, still trying to come to terms with what I was looking at.“What do we do, Miss Alexa?” My secretary asked me again. “It says that we have just three hours to move out of the property,” she added.“What?!” Mark reacted in shock.Since we got here, I hadn’t answered his questions as to what the problem was, and that was because I couldn’t even open my mouth to speak.I couldn’t think straight.Being here and seeing the letter gave me a different feeling; like I could literally see my life crashing right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do about it.When Mark still wasn’t getting an answer from me, he took the paper from me to take a look at it, and I didn’t stop him.I was too weak to even try.Mark read through it in a second.“Why eviction?” He asked worriedly. “I thought this property was bought,” he added.“Leased to me, not bought,” I managed to respond.“And then why is this coming right now?” He asked with deep concern. “Has he

    ALEXA“Are you sure?” I asked my secretary.My heart was thumping already.“What’s wrong?” Mark asked worriedly.He hastily kept the breakfast he was holding aside and came closer to me.“Yes, Miss Alexa,” she responded over the phone. “I am staring at it right now,” she added.“This early?” I asked, still completely filled with shock and horror.Even as I asked her, I glanced at the time. Gosh, it was barely seven in the morning, and I was already being delivered a devastating news.Coupled with the fact that internally, I was still battling with what happened at Donald house last evening, and the horrifying dream I had about him.“Yes,” she said. “What should I do, Miss Alexa?” She asked me.I could feel the fear and trembling in her from the sound of her voice, and I knew that this wasn’t something I could handle over the phone.“I am on my way,” I responded before ending the call. “Jesus!” I muttered in exasperation.I couldn’t believe that this was happening to me right now.“Wha

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Be By Her Side

    MARKI knew that she was having a bad dream about Donald Shell when she started struggling in my arms, even before she mentioned his name.The room wasn’t completely dark, so I could see Alexa’s face, and when I saw that it was contorted in anguish, I felt the deep pain in my chest.And the anger rose to the brim and overflowed.Just when I thought I couldn’t get angrier and more vengeful, Alexa reacted to it and the anger came to me all over again. Goodness, I really wished I could squash Donald Shell with my bare hands.“It’s just a dream, Alexa,” I told her, holding her tight.And to think that I was even going to leave her alone to spend the night all by herself. If she hadn’t asked me to stay, I would have left with Vector, and that made me feel horrible about myself.“What kind of man would that have made you?” A voice asked me.Alexa would have dealt with this on her own, and that would have left her even more devastated and wrecked. Alexa opened her eyes and saw me.“I am he

    ALEXA“Can I get you anything?” Mark asked as I lay in bed.“You don’t know your way around the kitchen,” I reminded him.“I didn’t say that I was going to cook you something, Alexa. I said I could get you anything that you wanted,” he corrected.“It’s too late to order anything,” I said.“You will be surprised what Mark Ronaldo can pull off with just one phone call,” Mark responded.He brought my thick blanket and placed it on me, allowing me to get warm, and I didn’t protest.When I saw that he and Vector were leaving, I knew that I just couldn’t let him leave. There was a cop outside my apartment, but that didn’t seem safe enough. The only safety I knew I was ever going to feel was from Mark, and I was too shaken to let pride stop me from asking him to stay.“As long as you don’t bring up anything that has to do with earlier,” I had added.Mark had accepted, and ten minutes later, he had been able to put me in bed.After Vector left, Mark had suggested that I took a hot bath.“It i

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Her Choice

    MARKTo say that I was flabbergasted would be an understatement. For the life of me, I couldn’t understand why Alexa would give that response.“Are you serious right now?” I asked her in utter disbelief.Vector was equally stunned to his bones.“You don’t want Donald Shell to pay for what he did?” I asked, wanting to be sure that Alexa knew exactly what she was saying.“I didn’t stutter, Mark,” Alexa answered.What could Donald Shell have done to her that turned Alexa into this? Here I was, trying everything I could to ensure that he wouldn’t go scot free, but she clearly wanted to protect him, and I didn’t even understand why.She literally ran into my arms in utter shock and fear when we were able to get into Donald’s living room, and she had been crying ever since, but here she was, acting as though nothing had happened.“Maybe this is because Mark called Brent without informing you first,” Vector said, sounding exceedingly calm.He didn’t want to infuriate Alexa or trigger her mo
