Mag-log inMARKAlexa had given me an assignment and not doing it right away made me feel as though she would know all the way from her house and maybe punish me or change her mind.Changing her mind would even be punishment to me at this point.“What if you both go to Versailles and Alexa still wouldn’t talk to you?” A voice in my head asked me.I recalled immediately that after announcing that she would marry me and even declaring that it had to be that weekend, Alexa had made it the worst wedding in not just the entire Paris, but for me as well.At some point, I might have appreciated it if she hadn’t agreed to marry me.Till this very moment, Alexa and I were acting more like strangers rather than married. It was even worse because when we weren’t married, at least, we were having sex and she was talking to me.What if this would be worse?The thought of Alexa making things more difficult and complicated for me in Versailles almost made me shudder, but I was quick to shake it off.No matter
MARK“Hello, Mark,” Alexa said again when I didn’t give her a response.And that was because I was still stunned and confused.Alexa knew just how to make me speechless by the random decisions that she was making.First of all, she made me believe that she wasn’t going to be changing her mind, and then secondly, she wasn’t even talking to me after calling me several times and I didn’t pick up.Calling me right now to just ask that kind of question took me completely off guard.If I hadn’t committed Alexa’s voice to memory, I might have thought that this was someone else, but it was Alexa, loud and clear.“Um, yes, I am here,” I cleared my throat and said.I couldn’t even move a muscle right now. My entire body had gone rigid completely.“Did you hear what I asked?” Alexa asked me.She sounded as though she was running out of patience.“How soon can we move to Versailles?” Alexa asked me again.“Um...soon,” I responded.In all honesty, I was still very confused.If Alexa had been like
MARKMona thought that driving her back to my house meant that I wanted her to spend some time here, but she was gravely wrong.The drive back from the baby store was filled with silence.Mona tried to start a conversation, but the tightness of my jaw and the hardness of my face was enough to warn her off. For the first time, Mona was slightly afraid of my reaction, so much so that she had behaved herself without having to tell her.“Get a cab,” I told Mona the moment we both got down from my car after parking at the parking lot.I was already signaling to one of my domestic staff members to come over.“Mark, are you...” Mona started to ask with a tone of shock, but she stopped when the staff member got to where we were both standing.“Welcome back, Mr. Mark,” he greeted with a bow.He was smart enough not to extend that respect to Mona because I would have been very pissed off at him.“What do you need me to do, sir?” He asked me.“She is getting a cab, so I need you to help her tran
ALEXANoelle was too stunned to even speak for some minutes, and at a point, I almost wondered if she had gone deaf suddenly.“What did you just say?” Noelle asked me, eventually breaking the silence between us after my announcement.I just didn’t feel the need to say something until Noelle had responded, and that was why I stayed quiet and waited for her.Now that she had spoken, I walked over to one of the couches and settled into it. Then I began to sip from my latte, trying to get all the rest that I could.It was as though I had been standing for hours or days already, but now that I was sitting, I just felt more relaxed and at ease.“I have agreed to go with Mark to Versailles for some months,” I repeated firmly.Noelle knew already that I wasn’t the kind of person to play a prank, and even if I wanted to, it certainly wouldn’t be something revolving around Mark. If I could do without mentioning his name or even thinking about him, I wouldn’t bother about it at all.“Why?” Noell
ALEXA“Stop the car,” I told the cop after a while.We were halfway to the house and I just needed him to stop.My chest was still beating very fast and I was drowning in every negative emotion possible. I was also beginning to feel a slight pain in my lower abdomen, and that made me worried to my bones.Was it coming again?The doctor already warned that if it happened again, I would lose my child, and if that should happen, who would I have to blame but myself?Mark and Mona would still have a child together...a son at that...Mark’s heir, and at the end of the day, I would be the loser.I couldn’t believe that even after the doctor’s warning, which wasn’t even more than twenty-four hours ago, I already let myself get riled up.“Ma’am, is everything okay?” The cop asked me worried.Some tears did flow from my eyes after I got into the car and asked him to drive me home, and even without looking at him, I knew that he had been worried, but at the same time, he hadn’t wanted to pry.“I
MARKBarely ten minutes after the cop adhered to my instruction and drove the car away from me a bit, I saw Alexa storm out of the baby store in a rage.“Damn, what’s going on?” I asked no one in particular.There was no one else in the car except me.Even though Alexa was a few steps away from me, I could sense that she had tears in her eyes.Instantly, I opened the car door, but just as I was about to step out of the car, I stopped. I recalled that I was hiding from Alexa.Also, she was walking really fast.A part of me felt that if I got down and went to her, she would become even more enraged because somehow, I had a feeling that whatever she was angry about had to do with me.When Alexa walked into the baby store about twenty minutes ago, she had seemed relaxed and fine, but now, she was upset, teary, and in a hurry to leave. She didn’t even look anywhere else other than where the car was parked.I watched her get into the car and the cop drove out.I was certain that she command
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
