LOGINALEXAMark calling me only made me more upset, and because of the way with which I had gotten into the house, I began to feel some sort of pain in my lower abdomen.“Damn you, Mark,” I muttered to myself painfully, putting the entire blame on Mark.No matter what, Mark would always hurt me.For years, I had loved him and given my heart to him alone, but continuously, he had continued to make my life a living hell, hurting my feelings over and over again with his infidelity, lies, and deception.Realizing that he was at the hospital with Mona yesterday had made me more pissed off than I had been in weeks.Tears gathered in my eyes as I made my way up to my bedroom. I really didn’t want to speak to anyone and thankfully, Noelle and Shirley were out working, leaving just me and Lona in the house.She might be somewhere around, hence, why she hadn’t shown herself to me when I came in slamming the door, but right now, it was what I needed.The last thing I wanted was to have to face anyone
MARKAfter dropping off Alexa, I headed back to my company. As expected, Alexa had gotten out of my car in rage, went in, and slammed the door shut.I was certain that if I had followed her into the house, or attempted to, she would have locked me out again.This left me confused because I couldn’t tell why she was upset and who exactly she had spoken to, but it definitely wasn’t Claudia.On my way, Brent called me.“Hey, Brent,” I said the moment I picked up the call and it connected.Right now, speaking to someone else was very helpful because it would get my mind off Alexa at the moment.I would have really loved to find out what the problem was and of course, try to fix things as I had been doing, but how would I be able to achieve that when I didn’t even know what she was enraged about?“Mark, are you driving?” Brent asked me.“Yes, I am,” I responded. “What is it?” I asked Brent.“You still haven’t said a word about when you and Alexa would come in to sign the court papers,” Bre
IVYI waited for Lina Barry to call me again with everything in me.“Are you always going to get this restless whenever you want to hear from her?” Jack asked me.“It is none of your business,” I responded without looking at him, snapping at him.Since Lina Barry called the first time, I hadn’t given Jack much attention. Also, he was rarely in the cabin.Right now, my only focus was getting my mother’s money from Donald Shell, which was automatically mine, and getting away for good. No one knew about this plan of mine, not Jack, or my mother, or Lina Barry, or Drew.And I intended to keep it that way.It was better that way.“If you keep at it like this, you are going to get her caught,” Jack said.I turned to him and glared at him.“Are you worried about me being traced to this cabin or what?” I demanded.I almost added being worried about my safety, but I knew now that Jack didn’t give a damn about me. The only thing he was worried about was remaining unknown and unseen, and of cour
Thanks to everyone who waited for me to come back. You're truly a gem! 💎💎💎❤️🥰MARKSomething in me told me that Alexa hadn’t forgotten her purse back there, but I just couldn’t pinpoint it.And then, when I saw her coming back out after a while, I knew that something was wrong. Not that Alexa was exceedingly excited before now, but there was this fire of rage burning in her eyes, and I could see it even before she got close enough.“Did you get the purse?” I asked carefully.Again, as a Ronaldo, I was never raised to be afraid of any man, especially a woman, but somehow, lately, there was this fear in my chest that came with dealing with Alexa.Or maybe it was because I was just afraid that I would lose her forever.When I found out that I was in love with Alexa Silver, I became worried about not ending up with her, but it wasn’t the same now. I couldn’t really tell if it was because of the baby, but I just didn’t want to lose Alexa.I didn’t want to end up with someone else eithe
ALEXAMark came earlier than I thought he would, or maybe I even thought that he wouldn’t come to the house at all.Noelle slept over, but she was already out with Shirley to check out a few styles for me while I got ready for my parental class today.Mark walked in just when I finished having breakfast.“Good morning, Alexa,” he greeted.Even though it was his regular work suit, Mark looked dashing as always. Every time I saw Mark, regardless of what he was wearing at that particular time, he always stole my breath away for a millisecond.But I would rather swim in the deepest ocean than let him know that his presence still had an effect on me.“Good morning,” I responded tightly.“Are you ready?” Mark asked.“Yes, I am, but I didn’t think you would come here,” I responded.“The class is for the both of us, Alexa, and so far, I haven’t missed out on any of it, so why would you think that I wouldn’t come?” Mark asked me.I shrugged and said, “You would have gone to the hospital instea
MARK“Mark, are you there?” Vector asked me.Apparently, he had realized that I had zoned out and was no longer paying attention to what he was saying. I couldn’t even tell how much longer Vector had been speaking.My head had been doing a lot of thinking.How would I handle Alexa and Mona at the same time?Mona was determined to get in the way of Alexa and me. Now that she had gone the legal route, there was nothing I could do to stop her. Yes, I was able to get Claudia to postpone our parental class so that I could make the doctor’s appointment with Mona, but for how long?How long would I be able to keep up with that until Alexa gave birth?Even if I was able to manage it, the truth was that it would never stop. Mona would always continue to try, and I knew now that the more her pregnancy grew, the more attention she would seek.I just couldn’t deal with it.Why didn’t Alexa just agree to this?Agreeing to go with me to Versailles for a few months would have bought me some time to
ALEXAToday being a new day, I decided to concentrate on spending time in the attic and getting rid of old and useless things.I just wanted to get my mind off two disturbing things; the harsh reality that hit after Donald Shell announced to the public of the new name he had changed the company to.
ALEXAFor a couple of seconds, I was rendered speechless.“What?” I said through rasped breath when I was eventually able to say something, but it came out in a whisper that I didn’t even think that Noelle would have heard me.“Yes, Alexa, I am engaged,” Noelle said.Her excitement was even realer
MARK“You are going to regret this, Mark Ronaldo. Don’t ever think that the battle between us is over,” Donald Shell eventually said.If he was trying to threaten me, he didn’t succeed.“I think we now know that you don’t hold anything over me,” I told him confidently and with a smirk.“But I do ha
MARK“I am not here because of you, Mark, and I have been given right to come here,” Clara said firmly.“Don’t move an inch,” I said to the cops warningly as I brought out my cell phone.They were obviously the ones leading Clara, and they would be the ones to stop her from proceeded further into t
