His Name

MARK

The name Donald Shell brought back a lot of horrible memories that I thought I had left buried inside, especially when he left the city.

As I thought of him and his face flashed in my head, my mind flashed back to one of the worst days of my life.

I had just been appointed as the CEO of the company, taking my rightful inheritance and position, and it was revealed to me by Mr. Devon, who had always been there that the company had been going through some rough patches, majorly because some bad deals have been made.

I was hardworking and determined, so I wanted to fix things at all cost.

“What do I do now, Mr. Devon?” I had asked him, because even though I wanted to fix things, I didn’t exactly know where to begin from.

“Some people have been exposing the secrets of the company,” Mr. Devon had revealed to me.

I trusted him so much, and I still do, because even before I officially became the CEO, he had always been very helpful. He was a man that was very trustworthy. My dad trusted

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Always A Way Out

    MARKAs much as I wanted to defile Brent’s words and still go ahead to see Alexa just to find out how she was doing, I couldn’t because I knew he was right.Now wasn’t the time to play around my company.Mr. Devon had already done enough damage. He had taken years to plot the takeover, and one single mistake by me could give him all he ever wanted, leaving me empty and at a loss.“Well, this is your fault, Alexa. If you hadn’t filed that restraining order, this wouldn’t be happening,” I told myself.I didn’t want to feel bad or guilty for not being there for her because I wanted to. However, Alexa Silver didn’t want to.Even at the hospital, she had firmly stated that she didn’t want me to see her.However, I would still need to know about the funeral arrangements because even her restraining order wouldn’t stop me from paying my last and final respect to Mr. Silver, a man I had known and respected for about ten years now.As Canon drove me out of my company, I called Reyna.“Is there

    ALEXAShirley arrived a while later, just when I had just finished having breakfast.“You have access to my apartment now, so ensure that everything runs smoothly,” I told her.“I will, ma’am,” she responded.“And if there is anything I need to know, you can just call me or send me a message or an email,” I added.Shirley nodded.I noticed that she had something else bothering her that she would have liked to say, but she was hesitating.“What is it?” I asked her.“It’s nothing, Miss Alexa,” she responded.It was a lie, but I didn’t even have the courage and strength to press her for details.“Alright then,” I said.Shirley left after that and I sat back at the dining table and just allowed the heaviness and hollowness to wash over me. It was even a surprise for me that I could eat a full plate of food, or maybe it was because I was deeply famished.Clara, after recovering from the shock of my demand, had scoffed and stormed upstairs to pack her things, and I could barely wait to see

    MARKReyna returned to my office to show me the schedule that she had come up with.She didn’t start working for me, but first, she needed to go through the schedules and create her own template, and I gave her time to do so.An hour later, she came back to my office and showed it to me.I couldn’t deny how impressed I was at her competence, but then again, Reyna had already proven to me that she was more than capable.“Is there anything you would like me to adjust, correct, take out, or add?” Reyna asked professionally.“Not a single thing,” I responded. “I am just going to send you a list of what I have on my table to get done for the rest of the week, and you can fix them in the schedule so that you can remind me about them when it is time,” I added.“Of course, Mr. Mark,” she answered.I thought that she would return to her desk, but she didn’t.“Is there anything else?” I asked, looking up at her.The sadness in her eyes was still very much there, and it reminded me of my own pai

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   My Home

    ALEXAA rumbling sound in my stomach forced me awake.“Am I hungry?” I asked myself, almost in disbelief.For the entire day yesterday, I wasn’t sure I had anything to eat. Heck, I was lying down in the hospital all day and grieving the passing of my dad. However, I still didn’t expect that I would be this famished.It was as though my stomach was completely empty and on fire.“When have I ever been this hungry?” I asked myself as I got out of bed.My first instinct was to get something to eat because the hungry seemed to be feasting on my system. I had thought that with everything that was going on, I wouldn’t have an appetite.Quite frankly, I didn’t even want to eat anything, but with the hunger in my stomach, I couldn’t even control it.I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth quickly, but just as I stepped out of the bathroom, Shirley called.“Good morning, Miss Alexa,” she greeted as soon as I picked up the call.“Shirley, is everything okay?” I asked because I just wanted

    MARKI resumed work as early as possible, and after interviewing two more persons but finding none of them worthy, I gave up.“Damn it,” I said to myself.I pulled out my cell phone and dialed a number. She picked up almost immediately.“Good morning, Mr. Mark,” Reyna greeted.“Is this too early to call knowing that you no longer go to work?” I asked considerately. “You might be taking a rest,” I added.“No, Mr. Mark, I have been up,” she answered. “Is there something I can do for you?” She asked me politely.“You might not know this, but I fired my secretary and got her arrested for teaming against me,” I said, getting right to the point.“I am sorry about that,” she apologized.I waved my hands off dismissively as though Reyna was right here and she could see me.“You don’t have to be sorry about it, Reyna. She is only facing the consequences of her actions,” I responded. And then I went on with what I was trying to say.“I have been interviewing a couple of potential candidates, b

    ALEXAWhen I got to the door, I pushed it open and it obeyed me. Maybe I didn’t think that it would because I was too weak to even apply any form of force.I was weak emotionally and physically.All I wanted to do was get to my dad’s bedroom, take out all his clothes, lay them on his bed, and curl up right there. That was exactly what I had done when my mum passed; it helped me to stay sane for a while. Hopefully, it would do the same now.Or maybe it wouldn’t because of the shame and guilt I was feeling deep inside. It was eating me up so badly that I could hardly breathe.“I understand the terms. You have laid them out before,” a voice said.I stopped, trying to catch the voice and where it was speaking from.“You know I have been nothing but obedient and diligent,” the voice said again, and this time around, I was able to catch the voice.It was Clara talking and the voice was coming from the aisle downstairs.At first, I had thought that it was the kitchen, but knowing Clara, she
