Hopefully she w
ALEXAI thought I was going to glide down the stairs after missing my step and break my neck, or worse, lose the pregnancy until I felt a firm hand grabbing me and stopping me from falling.It was Ivy.“Are you okay?” She asked me.As I missed a step, my phone fell from my hand, which was also as a result of the shock of the message I received from Donald Shell, but thankfully, it didn’t crack or glide down the stairs.Without waiting for me to give her a response, Ivy helped me to pick up my phone, and then she gave it to me. I was still in so much shock about everything that I snatched the phone from Ivy’s hand in hostility.I didn’t even acknowledge that she had stopped me from a ghastly fall and even picked up my cell phone.“Alexa, are you okay?” Ivy asked me again.Since she returned, I noticed that she rarely came downstairs, or maybe when she did, I wasn’t aware, but she rarely did, and even now, she was careful about being on the stairs with me because anyone might walk in, a
ALEXA“Why isn’t Noelle picking up my calls anymore?” I asked myself.I was getting more frustrated and upset.Noelle was acting way too suspicious and it was upsetting me.I did say I wasn’t going to call her ever again because I felt betrayed by the fact that she was the one who had leaked the news, but after my altercation with Mark, I just needed someone to talk to so badly, and I found myself reaching out for Noelle again.I was still upset, but I just wanted to talk to Noelle.A part of me wanted to know what it was that prompted her to do something like that, and also tell her about what was going on.The doctor called a while later.“Miss Alexa, are you doing okay?” He asked me as soon as the call connected.“Yes, I am,” I answered.Surprisingly, the last couple of hours hadn’t made me lose the baby, but that didn’t mean that I should subject myself and the baby to stress.The doctor already strictly informed me that even mental stress could lead to complications and loss of t
MARKI didn’t continue driving until I was certain that I could. For now, the realization would keep hitting all over again, but right now, I had to focus on other things.As I continued driving, I called Reyna.“Good day, Mr. Mark,” she said as soon as she picked up the call.“I know you are not supposed to be working at this very moment, but this is very important,” I stated.“Is this about Miss Alexa?” Reyna asked.“How did you guess?” I asked, surprised.“I saw the news on the blogs, sir,” Reyna said. “I had no idea that she was pregnant, and neither did Shirley; I just got off the phone with her,” she added.Then who could have leaked the news to the public.It was obvious now that it wasn’t Alexa who told the public about it. Someone else had done it, and now that it wasn’t Alexa’s secretary because she didn’t know, I couldn’t think of anyone else that could have done it.But I became curious to find out instantly.“Okay,” I simply said because I didn’t want to further discuss m
MARKBy the time I left Alexa’s house, I was still fuming with rage, but one thing was clear now; she wouldn’t be able to shut me out any longer.As soon as I drove out, I called Brent.“Hey, Mark,” Brent said as soon as the call connected.“I am glad you could pick up right now,” I said.I knew how busy Brent was, and the day had been very hectic as well. Brent was with me a few hours ago to hand the papers to me, and he already told me that he was very busy, so I was really relieved and grateful that even in the midst of his busy schedule, he could still take my call.“You are more than a client now, Mark,” Brent said.“Great,” I responded. “Do you have a moment?” I asked Brent.“I am trying to grab a sandwich before I head right back into the courtroom, but yes, I think I can spare a moment. As a matter of fact, you are lucky you called when you did,” Brent explained, making me more relieved.“I am glad I did,” I responded.“Have you shown Alexa the paper now?” Brent said.“She did
ALEXAMy heart stopped beating for a moment, and just when I thought I was going to die, it picked up again, but faster this time around.When I saw that the news had broken out, my first thought wasn’t even Mark Ronaldo. I hadn’t even thought of him.My initial thought had gone to Donald Shell, which was why I was too scared to open the door until I heard Mark’s voice, and now, my heart was racing really fast.The restraining order had been revoked and I knew nothing about it.I didn’t take a close look at the paper, but I knew that Mark Ronaldo wouldn’t show up at my door with a fake report from the authorities.“Alexa, open the door!” Mark barked from outside.I jumped frightfully.He hadn’t left.I thought that after slamming the door, he would leave, but he hadn’t. His knocks were louder and more disturbing now and I didn’t know what to do.“I am not going to leave until you open the door and we have a conversation, Alexa. I mean it,” Mark raved angrily.I swallowed hard.Mark wo
ALEXAI honestly didn’t want to show up at the station, but I was informed that I needed to by Donald. “It is important that you are there so that you can make up your mind on if you want to press charges or…whatever decision you come to,” Donald had told me.Then he had offered to come with me to
MARKMy ears had to either be playing tricks on me, or the cops had suddenly taken to playing silly pranks.“Excuse me?” I expressed in shock.“What is going on here?” Mr. Devon asked protectively.He was acting as though he was my dad who saw the need to protect me, and it warmed my heart that he
MARKAfter Vector and I made an agreement; ensuring that I pulled all my weight for him was the least that I could do after taking such great fall for me, we went out of the detective’s office to join everyone else.This time around, we didn’t take as much time as when I went into his office to spe
MARKI paced back and forth in my living room, utterly and completely restless.Oscar is dead.“I shouldn’t have gone there. Damn, I shouldn’t have,” I kept telling myself.I had never been this restless, confused, and regretful in my entire life. The farther this whole case went, the deeper it pull
