IVY

I patiently waited for the girl I had done the business with at a lounge that I was certain few or no one would even recognize me, and soon enough, she sashayed into the lounge.

“You are right on time,” I told her the moment she sat down on the other table that I had paid for us.

“I don’t joke with my business,” she said.

“Of course you don’t,” I also said.

Then I pulled out an envelope from my purse and gave it to her; it was the rest of the payment upon our agreement. If she succeeded in getting the job done, she would be paid in full, but if not, she would forget that we ever met.

She had gotten the job easily and perfectly, and if I was such a generous being, I would have given her a hefty tip.

“That is what I owe you,” I told her as she glanced into the envelope. “As agreed, our deal is done and sealed, and we owe each other nothing, so I never knew you and you never met me. Understood?” I asked her, wanting to be certain that we were on the same page.

“Understood,” she ans

    ALEXA“Are you sure about what you are saying?” The detective asked Oscar. “You do know that if this turns out to be a lie, you would be in a more terrible situation. You don’t just go about mentioning names, especially the likes of Mark Ronaldo, who is a man of repute in this city,” he informed Oscar deeply.“I understand the consequences of what I just did, and I am not lying. He came to me and presented me with an offer that I couldn’t resist,” Oscar insisted.“Do you have any evidence…maybe a recorded conversation, or even a check that he must have given you as payment for the done deal?” The detective asked.“No, unfortunately, I don’t,” Oscar answered. “He made sure that I didn’t record anything, and we met at a private place. Then he assured me that if everything went well, he would pay me in cash, but it didn’t, so I don’t have anything to show as evidence, but it is true,” Oscar narrated.Tears gathered in my eyes, and as soon as I blinked, they spilled down my cheeks.I bega

    ALEXAThe look on Donald’s face was enough to make me deeply worried.“What confession?” I asked Donald skeptically.Donald walked into my office, coming closer to me.“I have been up and doing since the attack, because I don’t want it to happen to you again, and more importantly, I wanted to get to the bottom of everything,” Donald said with so much care and concern in his voice.My heart warmed greatly at the sound of his words, because it felt really good to have someone who cared and was worried about me, but it didn’t stop me from feeling skeptically about the next things I would hear from him.“You have done more than enough already, Donald, and I appreciate you for it,” I told Donald and I meant it. “We are friends, Alexa, and friends look out for each other,” Donald said deeply. “And I wanted you to also know who your real enemies are so that you can be wary of them, because you are a businesswoman now, and you are bound to have enemies, even the ones that appear to be harmle

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Standing Up For Him

    ALEXAAfter trying for half of the day to reach Noelle, she eventually picked up her phone.“Please, don’t tell me that you are too busy to talk right now,” I said as soon as the call connected, because that was what she had been saying since she travelled, and I was tired of it.I really needed someone to talk to. To be more specific, I needed my best friend, because everything just felt confusing and overwhelming, especially now that things were beginning to work out well for my business.“I think I can talk for now,” Noelle said, much to my relief. “What’s going on?” Noelle asked.“I got attacked last night,” I blurted out.“What?!” Noelle screamed in shock. “Are you kidding me?” Noelle asked.She became worried and alerted instantly, which was something that I liked about her. I wished that she had also been with me at the time of the incident, because we would have handled it together.“No, I am not, Noelle,” I answered, the weight of what happened to me settling on my shoulders

    MARKI arrived at the station and met with some of the cops there, and it was a relief that they knew who I was even without having to introduce myself, because that would mean that I could use my influence and social standing to get what I wanted.“I am here to see Oscar; he was brought in last night,” I requested.They looked at each other skeptically.“Did you hear what I just said?” I asked, getting angry and irritated.I expected that they would waste no time in granting my request, but they just stood there, staring at me. The look in their eyes said that they wanted to do my bidding, but then again, they had been given some instructions of some sort.“First of all, every citizen has the right to see anyone in custody, except the judge says otherwise, and Oscar was brought in last night, so he hasn’t been brought before a judge yet,” I reminded them.I did not state the fact that they should have allowed me to see him, judging by the fact that I was a man of influence, wealth, a

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Possible Stalker

    ALEXAI arrived at my store feeling refreshed and better than I thought I would feel. Contrary to my worry, spending the night at Donald’s house had brought me more peace.Donald was a complete gentleman.He didn’t make any attempt to touch me inappropriately or use the opportunity of my presence in his house to take advantage of me. His bed was soft, big, and soothing, and by morning, Donald had ensured that breakfast and coffee were made available for me.Aside from Noelle, I had never felt this protected by anyone before, and it made my heart swell with gratitude.“I am sorry about what happened at your apartment last night,” my secretary told me as soon as I stepped into the store and we exchanged pleasantries.“It’s in the news already, right?” I asked, rolling my eyes.It was impossible not to be in the news once you were already in the spotlight. It came with my career path, and I had already decided to accept my fate.“Yes,” she answered.“I am happy that he didn’t get to harm

    MARKI didn’t sleep a wink all through the night. I couldn’t stop thinking about Alexa and Donald. If I was doubting that something might be brewing between them before, it was confirmed last night.“Gosh, I can’t believe that Alexa chose Donald’s house over mine, a home we once shared as a couple,” I groaned in annoyance.Donald’s bragging words flashed through my head, and the mocking look he had in his eyes last night as he took Alexa away already showed that he had declared himself the victor.“Damn!” I exclaimed in exasperation.I might lie and pretend to everyone else, but I couldn’t deny the fact that I was deeply scared and worried about Donald taking Alexa from me. If it was another man, regardless of his money and social status, I might not have been this worried, but Donald Shell?I knew him well enough to know that he was a snake that could get anything he set his mind to.Years ago, if it wasn’t for Vector, I would have signed away my company to him. There was no doubt th

    ALEXADonald’s guestroom was beautiful and well decorated, and even more, the bed was plush and soft. The moment I set eyes on it, I wanted to fall on it instantly.“Everything you need is right here, ma’am,” Donald’s help said politely. “But if you need anything else, please do not hesitate to call me with the room intercom,” she said.I nodded in gratitude. “I will put that in mind, thank you,” I told her.The bedroom had an intercom that was close to the bed, which meant that I could call at any time, but I knew that there was no way I would do such a thing. Even though she was a help, she also deserved to sleep at night, and I knew that if it wasn’t for my sudden presence, she would not be up and about her job.“I think you should freshen up and come downstairs for something to eat,” she said.“Uh, no, I don’t think I have appetite to eat anything,” I told her and I meant it.I just wanted the night to be over already.“I am sorry, ma’am, but Mr. Donald insisted that I prepared so

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Final Destination

    ALEXAI didn’t even know where Donald was taking me. He reached out to my hand as we sat at the back of his fancy car and snaked his fingers around mine.I didn’t want to go to his house.Regardless of the fact that I had told Mark that I wanted Donald instead, I didn’t want to go with him. I still didn’t know enough about Donald to spend a night at his house, and in all honesty, I would have preferred doing that at a house I shared with Mark for years than a stranger’s house.Gosh, what was I thinking?I couldn’t deny that I had acted hysterically back at Mark’s house, and that was due to what happened, but right now, my decision had changed.We had been quiet, and it was making me a little uncomfortable, and I also had questions to ask, so I cleared my throat calmly.“How did you know that I was there?” I asked, referring to Mark’s house.I hadn’t even dialed his number yet, which I wasn’t going to do anyway; I had only pretended that I wanted to just to make Mark jealous, and he sh

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Taste Of His Medicine

    ALEXAI wanted to turn it down. It was in my eyes to turn down Mark’s offer, or no, his directive, but even the cops saw that I was shaking.“I think that would be the best option until your door is fixed and you are over the trauma,” the cop had said.That was the only reason I followed Mark, and I insisted that it wasn’t because I was very scared. Even if Mark hadn’t offered, I would not have slept in the apartment.“He could have hurt me, or even killed me,” I said to myself, shaken to my bones.I have never experienced something like this before, and I worried that I would not be able to get over the fear and trauma soon enough.On the drive to Mark’s house, the house we once shared as husband and wife, we stayed completely quiet. My wrist where Oscar had held me tightly ached badly, and without being told, I knew that it would have a red parch already.I closed my eyes to keep back the tears that were threatening to fall. I didn’t want to cry in front of Mark. It was bad enough
