MARK

“I don’t think I want to stay away any longer,” I told Mr. Devon after the tension between us seemed to have died down.

And that was exactly how I felt.

“Now is even the worst time to return to the company,” Mr. Devon stated. “The reason this company is not being torn down right now is because of your absence. They will rip you apart if they know that you are back like nothing happened while there is a murder allegation against you,” Mr. Devon added.

I opened my mouth to speak, but it dawned on me that the news of the murder allegation wasn’t out yet.

People only knew that Oscar had been murdered, but Ivy’s accusation wasn’t out in the open yet, or Vector’s admittance to a part of the crime.

“But how can they rip me apart over something they haven’t heard?” I asked Mr. Devon.

He seemed slightly uncomfortable, as though he had said something he wasn’t supposed to say, but he was quick to maintain his composure.

He cleared his throat. “I meant to say that they would rip you apart

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   We Meet Again

    ALEXADonald gracefully opened the car door and I entered into his car, but I wasn’t feeling entirely comfortable.Donald was sweet and charming, and if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have become this rapidly successful, which made me feel as though I owed him in a way, but the closer he got, the deeper I felt that he wanted more.I had known him for a while now, and he had been completely sweet and gentlemanly, treating me in ways that no man had ever treated me, but I still wasn’t attracted to him. More than that, I didn’t want to have any romantic relationship with anyone for now.Or even any time soon.“Are you okay?” Donald asked as we pulled into the main road.He was using his convoy today.“Yes, I am,” I lied.I was having the feeling that he would profess his love any moment from now, and it made me anxious, majorly because I didn’t know what my response would be. I didn’t want to be with Donald intimately, but then again, turning him down would make me feel like I was being u

    ALEXA“What do you say, Noelle?” I asked Noelle, still breathing heavily.“Alexa, are you sure?” She asked me.“Yes, I am,” I responded. “This tour I went with the pop-star has elevated my business and it will be too much for me. There is no way I will be able to handle a thousand clients at once,” I said.“A thousand clients?” Noelle asked in astonishment.“That’s the request I currently have, Noelle, and I have a feeling that there will be more to come. I want to expand my business and make it global, Noelle, but I cannot do that alone,” I stated. “There is so much to be done and my assistant and I will not be able to handle it on my own,” I added.I was pleading with my eyes for Noelle not to turn me down.“But why me?” Noelle asked. “There are so many people that are looking for business investments like this one, and they will be perfect for the job,” Noelle said.She was sounding almost breathlessly as well.“This business means the world to me, Noelle. I cannot trust anyone els

    ALEXAI went to my store that morning and Noelle promised to stop by later. Meanwhile, I had already made an appointment with the detective who advised that the earlier I filed the case, the better.Ever since I heard the news of Oscar’s death and how Mark had ordered for his release, I had been having a torrent of emotions. The urge to see him which I had earlier had vanished completely.“But why was he allowed to release Oscar,” I had asked the detective.“Because he has the power and influence, and also, you didn’t file any case, so we couldn’t have been able to hold him back,” the detective had explained. “Miss Alexa, there is so much that you need to know about, but this isn’t a phone conversation. I will strongly advise that you come to the station and file the case as soon as possible, otherwise, he might just get away with another crime,” he had added deeply.And I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Apparently, Mark was more dangerous as I thought, and the more things were being

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   My Enemy Uncovered

    MARKNo matter how hurt and disappointed I was with Vector for what he did, I knew that I still needed to see him.It was worse going out to public places now, because of the stares I now got, which was as a result of the news that Ivy spread about me. I would have sent a message to debunk it, and even recruit Doctor Jones to disclaim it, since everyone knew that he was my doctor, but then again, that wasn’t the biggest problem in my life right now.Alexa was back in Paris, and she would definitely be filing that case against me, and with Oscar murdered, it would get messier.So I needed to focus on the case, and I needed to see Vector.I arrived at the station and waited for Vector to be brought into the interrogation room. The moment he was brought, we stared at each other, each holding something in mind against each other.I wondered what Vector would have in mind against me when I was supposed to be the angry one. “Leave us,” I instructed the cop who brought Vector in.He had gon

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Too Many Shocking News

    ALEXAThe news of Oscar’s death shook me in ways that I never expected.“He was gruesomely murdered in his apartment,” Noelle had told me.Never did I expect that something like that would happen, and although he tried to hurt me, I still didn’t want him dead.Arrested, yes, but certainly not dead.“In his apartment?” I asked, shocked. Before I left for my tour, Oscar was still in prison, and the legal arrangement was that I would file against Mark upon my return, so how did he get released?“Who released him?” I asked Noelle and she shrugged.“I am as clueless as you are, Alexa,” Noelle responded.She only just got back into Paris as well, but I wanted to ask a lot of questions. My entire body was shaking with the news, and I wanted to know exactly what was going on.“It seems to me like a lot has happened since I travelled,” I muttered.“A whole lot more than you think, Alexa,” Noelle said. “Most of which are surprising to me as well when I read the blogs,” Noelle added, hinting at

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Absolutely Nothing

    IVY“Where is my mum?” I asked the maid after walking around and not finding her around the house.I wondered where she could be, because she hadn’t gone anywhere in days.As a matter of fact, she hadn’t gone out since the incident of Oscar’s death. It was as though she deliberately stayed to keep watch over me, especially when I left the house to visit Mark without her knowledge.“You shouldn’t have done that, Ivy. Now the news is out there and you are only just ruining things even more,” she had said, feeling more disappointed than ever.I was used to her feeling of disappointment and anger now, and I felt no remorse for what I did. I still feel no remorse at all. Whatever I did was the best I could do for Oscar. With the news out, I was certain that Mark would be hiding away in shame.“She said she would be going to the salon, and she has left,” the maid responded.“When did she leave?” I asked, surprise that she would actually leave the house without informing me.Not that we had
