LOGINMARK“Don’t think that I don’t know my rights, Brent, or whatever it is that you are called,” Mr. Devon told Brent with a snarl.He was becoming more and more desperate, but Brent was ready for him.I would have been too weak and devastated to do anything right now. “No one is arguing about that, Devon Charles. Of course, you will have the right to a lawyer, and you could represent yourself in court, but Mark Ronaldo, my client, will be charging you to court,” Brent told him firmly.Mr. Devon turned to me one more time, and I could see the desperation and hidden worry in his eyes.“Mark, don’t do this to me…don’t fall for this,” he said, sounding as though he was trying to plead his way through. “I am innocent of all this,” he added.“He is not going to respond to you, Devon Charles,” Brent chipped in, but Mr. Devon was determined.He continued talking to me anyway.Because of Brent’s interference, he couldn’t come anywhere close to me. Brent ensured that he stayed between Mr. Devon
MARKBrent spent the next couple of hours laying down everything that he had uncovered from the company, all of it detailing back to Mr. Devon.Embezzlements for years.Revealed secret plans to take over the company from me.Apparently, Mr. Devon had been stealing huge sums of money from the company for years now, down to when my dad was still alive. No one ever suspected him because of the bond he built with my dad, and eventually, with me, and also, he was a lawyer who was skilled at what he was doing.“These are all lies leveled against me!” Mr. Devon barked even before Brent could finish taking us through every uncovered secret.The more he revealed, the more I shuddered deep inside. I couldn’t believe that Mr. Devon could be the wolf in sheep clothing attacking the company. It all felt very disturbing, and I never would have thought that it would make me this weak.“Including trying to get me attacked just so that I wouldn’t get into this and sending a threat note?” Brent asked
ALEXAGina was quite reluctant, and it took a while to convince her before she offered to help.“I don’t want to get into any trouble,” she had kept saying.“What trouble are you talking about?” I had asked, confused. “You are the only one I can think of right now who can get a good truck, and I need one right now to move things out of this building,” I told her.“Well, I can send you the cell number of someone you can call,” Gina suggested.“I need you, Gina, not a stranger!” I had blurted out in desperation and exasperation. “What could I have possibly done that you wouldn’t even do that for me right now? I am being evicted,” I had added.Tears had begun to flow, and I was getting weaker.“Please, Gina, I am asking that you help me,” I pleaded deeply with her. “In less than an hour, if I don’t leave, things are going to get really messy for me,” I added.After a few seconds of hesitation, Gina eventually spoke.“I will be right there,” she had responded.After the call, I turned to
MARKIt was Brent who called, so I had to hurriedly go to him, and I wouldn’t have gone because the situation at hand with Alexa, but Brent said that it was very crucial.He was headed to my company, and so I had no choice but to be there as well.However, on my way to my company, I hastily called Vector.“Mark, is everything okay?” Vector asked the moment he picked the call. “How is Alexa?” He asked, sounding more worried.“She is the reason I am calling,” I responded.“What’s wrong?” Vector asked.“I hope you are not having a busy morning, but I need you to leave whatever you are doing right now and go to Alexa’s business company right now,” I instructed him.“She went to work today?” Vector was stunned.“Donald Shell is trying to act funny,” I stated.“I knew that he wouldn’t just give up like that…damn,” Vector said hatefully without even hearing the full story.“Listen, Vector, I need someone I can trust around her right now,” I hastily said. “I am on my way to my company, but it
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
