Till Divorce Do Us Part Irresistible Sin
IVYThis was the second time I was getting a call from Oscar after the visit he paid to me unexpectedly when I had spoken with the girl I set up with Mark.As I waited for him at the hotel room that he said he paid for us to meet, I wondered if I was doing the right thing or not. In truth, I only accepted to meet with Oscar because he was gradually becoming a pest. Fine, after the time we spent together out of Paris, I had thought that he would stay away like he did when I got together with Mark before the accident. The last thing I needed right now was a clingy ex-lover, especially as things seemed to be working our way.Thankfully, Oscar was smart enough to pick a very cheap and private hotel. Usually, I would have been disgusted by the fact that he was choosing a cheap hotel, but then again, Oscar was just being as careful and smart as I would be.No blogger would think to go anywhere close to a cheap hotel, because they knew that rich, powerful, and influential people would never

ALEXA“Everything is set for your party,” Noelle said, much to my relief.She had selflessly and willingly taken on the job of my personal assistant, making sure that everything was falling into place easily.“Why do I sense that there is a but in that statement?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.I could literally read Noelle’s facial expression even though her lips were not saying the words.“Your dress for the launch,” Noelle answered. “You are fashion enthusiast for men, not women,” Noelle reminded me.“I know that, but what are you trying to say?” I asked.“I am trying to say that you are in no way going to pick out your own outfit for this event,” Noelle said.“But why not?” I asked, confused. “The men who would be coming will be the center of attraction, not me. So who cares if I wear a pair of jean trousers and cotton sweater?” Noelle shook her head at me in disappointment, and I really resisted the urge to laugh at how frustrated and exasperated she was just dealing with me.“Lis

IVY“Are you leaving so soon?” Oscar asked, lying lazily and stark naked on the rumpled bed.The entire room smelled of our wild and passionate lovemaking; I could feel it, smell it, and even taste it, and I wondered if someone else would also see it or feel in from me.I knew that I should have taken a shower, but the cheap hotel did not sit well with me. I did not want to use anything that would react on my skin and scar me before the day of the party; Mark would not be happy, so I would rather risk it and get back home to take a quick shower and get myself out of the smell of sex.“What do you think this is?” I asked harshly. “A girl like me shouldn’t even be in a place like this,” I added disdainfully.I tried to imagine quickly what the blogs and headlines would think if they ever caught me in a place like this, and I almost felt horrified. They would roast me alive, and everything would be destroyed in the blink of any eye.I could not afford that.“But that wasn’t what you were

MARK I was working in my study when I heard a subtle knock on the door. I groaned in annoyance, because I really did not like anyone to be interrupting me while I worked.This was another occasion where I missed having Alexa around. When she still lived here, she knew that I hated to be disturbed when working, even though I never mentioned it outright to her, so she often ensured that no one came close to my study. Instead, she mostly handled everything until I was done and out. It wasn’t just this part; the food, routine, coffee, which she knew just how to prepare it according to the way I liked it, and of course, picking out my outfit without being asked. Then, I usually felt like she was overplaying her part, especially for a woman whom I woke up from coma only to discover that she had become my wife.“How the hell did it happen?” I had asked when I was left with just Ivy and her mother before I was moved out of the hospital. “You should have been my wife and not her, so what hap

ALEXAIt was two days to my launch party and as the day drew closer, my heart began to palpitate. I was a nervous wreck even though I tried to act brave and strong.What if this didn’t work? What if my ability to style men was just a tiny talent that should stay in the room and not out there in the open? What if it turned out being a horrible disaster and I became a laughingstock at the end of the day? Thankfully, Noelle was out visiting her family for lunch, awarding me enough time to actually stay alone and sit with my thoughts.Since my divorce from Mark and the beginning of this brand launch planning and everything, I hadn’t had time to myself, and I felt like I was drowning away. Noelle had been constantly present and also a huge part of my success so far, but I really needed this moment.This would be the only time I would have alone before the party, and I intended to make good use of it.After dwelling in my thoughts, worries, and anxiety, I decided to talk myself out of it a

IVY“Are you insane?! You chose Alexa over me?!” I almost exploded.In fact, I exploded. I took a glance at my mother and she had the look of shock and anger in her facial expression. “I am so sorry, Ivy,” Eva said over the phone.“Damn it, Eva!” I barked at her. “First of all, who the heck is Alexa for you to choose her over me? I have been using your services for years now and you do know who my man, right?” I queried her.“In business, Miss Eva, it is not just about who has been patronizing for long or the kind of man you are with at the moment. Business is competition and profit, Ivy,” Eva said, sounding like a fucking greedy bitch.If she was standing right in front of me, I would have slapped her right across the face for talking to me in such a manner after everything, and worse, for my sworn enemy, Alexa. Well, maybe she knew that I could possibly be violent when enraged and so she had decided to give me this wretched information through the phone.“Really?” I asked, getting

IVYAs I drove down to Mark’s house, the thought of the shared invitation card lingered in my mind. How could I have been so foolish as to have left it there? Fine, I didn’t exactly leave it there, but if I wasn’t in a haste to get far away from Oscar, I would have actually taken my time with picking up the contents of my bag that had fallen.“How could you let this happen?” I berated myself.In the box Alexa sent to people she wanted to attend her launch party, she included an extra invitation, because she knew that the men might want to either come with their wives or mistresses. “Why the heck did she even invite Mark?” I asked myself angrily.Alexa was nothing but an opportunist. She had always been a sneaky girl, and the only person who knew her exactly for who she was were myself and my mum. First of all, she swindled her way into Mark’s life, knowing that we were engaged to be married. After I was able to get her to leave Mark, she goes ahead with a bloody launch party.“Men’s

ALEXAThe day for my fashion brand launch party was finally here!I could hardly stay still as Eva did the final fittings on the most beautiful dress I had ever seen, and even better, I was wearing it. Indeed, I argued with Noelle about being the best dressed female even though it was my own show, but now, I could see that she was right.Noelle was always right about everything.Goodness, with how beautiful I looked just staring at the mirror, and Eva wasn’t even done yet, I wanted to hug and kiss Noelle for being my stone of support, and for not letting my own thoughts get the better part of me.“Please, try and stay still,” Eva said gently and professionally.One thing I noticed about her was how much she had been in her best effort to impress me, and I wondered if it was naturally her work ethic, or she was just doing this because of my perceived new status.“How did Ivy take it when you told her that you couldn’t make her dress?” I had to ask.When Eva had told Noelle and I that s

ALEXAI patiently waited for Noelle to return to the apartment that we now shared together. I just wanted someone that I could talk to, and there was no one else that I wanted except my best friend.Things had spiraled out of control in the blink of an eye.In less than forty-eight hours, a lot of things had been revealed and changed. First of all, the threat that came from Clara and Ivy again, and secondly, Mark trying to get back with me. I wasn’t dumb, I knew that that was why he came to my store.Thinking about it put me in a rollercoaster of emotions.I was angry, because after everything I had sacrificed for Mark, he never thought that I loved him until he had to hear it from Ivy. If Ivy hadn’t made that revelation which I was certain that she regretted, otherwise they wouldn’t have come to my store trying to keep me away from Mark, Mark would never have wanted me.Then I also had the tiny feeling of regret.If all of these had happened without Ivy and her mother in the picture,

IVY“How did it go?” Clara asked.I understood her eagerness and dragging me right into her bedroom to question me as soon as I arrived from Mark’s house, because I had almost the same feeling right before I went.“Tell me, Ivy, how did it go?” She pushed eagerly.“I think Mark fell for it,” I answered.Well, he was pretty speechless after I showed him the video. I knew that he would have loved to deny it, but then again, it was a glaring truth he could not deny, and so he had been silent and quiet, and not wanting to make it stale, I had walked out.“You think?” Clara asked, her eyebrows furrowing. “Ivy, that wasn’t the answer I expected from you,” she added.“We didn’t come to a conclusion,” I told her. “Did he kick you out of the house?” Clara asked worriedly.“Of course he didn’t, because he wouldn’t dare,” I said with a smile.My mother was always right about everything! After using the video to get what we wanted months ago, I had wanted to delete it completely from my phone be

MARKThere was nothing that I could have said that would have changed Alexa’s mind. The resolve in her eyes had been firm.There was nothing else I could have done than to walk away with the last dignity that I had.Leaving didn’t mean that I would stop trying. Everything just happened, so I tried to understand that Alexa was still dealing with the emotions of her secret being revealed. All I needed to do was to give her enough time, and also impress her.“She cannot continue to turn me down when she eventually sees how important I am to her business,” I said to myself.Alexa was a businesswoman now, and surely, she would come to understand the power of influence and power over businesses sooner than later.As I drove back home, I began to think of ways to step in as her savior. I wasn’t a man who chased after women, but right now, the only thing I could think of doing was chasing Alexa Silver and wooing her all over again. Something shifted in me the moment Ivy made that huge reveal,
Till Divorce Do Us Part Her Answer
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
Till Divorce Do Us Part A Method That Works
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
Till Divorce Do Us Part Avoided Confrontation
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
