ALEXA

As soon as I got into my office, Noelle came in. I had barely settled in for the day when she walked in. As much as I wanted my space for a while, I just didn’t ask her to leave.

“Good morning, Alexa,” she greeted.

“Good morning, Noelle,” I responded.

Noelle sat down and stared at me for so long until it began to make me a little uncomfortable.

“What is it, Noelle?” I asked her.

“I just feel like our friendship is dwindling,” Noelle said.

“Noelle, I am not in the mood to have this convers

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Worsen Situation

    ALEXA“Every time I think it cannot get worse for me, it just spirals out of control,” I lamented painfully to Noelle.Tears gathered in my eyes and I knew that I wouldn’t even try to stop them from falling.“Gosh, this is too much for me to handle,” I added bitterly.And from the sound of my voice, Noelle could tell that I was at my breaking point.From dealing with no success at the fair and Donald Shell’s threats, and Mark’s betrayal and sting of success in my face to Ivy’s return…I could literally see my life shattering right before my very eyes.Ivy went upstairs to her old bedroom some minutes ago.Of course, I couldn’t say no to her bargain.What choice did I have?Knowing Ivy, she would do what she threatened to do if I had asked her to leave, and I couldn’t bear that, especially now that Donald Shell had resurfaced and threatened to take his little revenge. I knew that his taunt at the fair was just the beginning of something worse to come.Which was exactly why I really need

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Her Bargain

    ALEXA“You are alive?” I asked, still unable to believe my eyes.Noelle was also stunned into speechlessness. We both saw the news about Ivy’s death together, so how come was she here right now?“Surprise…!” Ivy said with a coy smile.I would have said I was seeing a ghost but Ivy sure didn’t look like a ghost, and I didn’t believe in ghosts, and even if I did, Noelle couldn’t be seeing ghosts at the same time, right? So, Ivy wasn’t certainly a ghost.She was alive and right here at this very moment.“How is this possible?” Noelle asked, eventually coming out of her shock.Ivy turned to Noelle with an unpleasant stare.They never got along well from the very beginning. Noelle never liked Clara or her daughter, Ivy, and she never hid it.“This is between families,” Ivy sneered at her.Noelle scoffed.“I know you have been away for a while, Ivy, so I am certain you must have missed it, but listen up, you are no longer a member of this family,” Noelle stated firmly. “Your mum was divorce

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Worst Things Happen To Me

    ALEXA“You have done more than enough for the day, Shirley,” I said to Shirley as soon as I walked into my dad’s living room, which was now mine anyway.My chest was hurting with fury. It was even a miracle I was speaking without exploding.Noelle and Shirley followed me into the living room as well, and they did so really quickly. As a matter of fact, since we left the fair a while ago, they had been quiet, which was good because one word from anyone and I would have lashed out at them even though they hadn’t done anything wrong to me.We went to my apartment to place everything right back to where it should be, and Shirley still drove back with us.I didn’t know why she bothered to, but I didn’t ask her.It was late already.“I just tried to do my job,” Shirley said with a calm voice.For hours at the fair, we got not a single contract. Donald Shell managed to scare off the one person that had had the courage to walk up to me. Shirley’s attempt to bring customers to our stand had be

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Game Between Two Women

    MARKAfter my company was crowned the winner of the fair, which of course, was a big deal, the rest of the fair was filled with celebrations, even down to the night.That was usually how the fair ended.But for me, it didn’t feel like a victory, especially as I didn’t see Alexa. The crowd was much, but again, I would see Alexa in any crowd whatsoever, so why didn’t I see her?“Congratulations, Mr. Mark Ronaldo!” Those were the words I kept hearing, and I tried to put up a smile so that it doesn’t look like I wasn’t happy to have won.Where was Alexa?“I am so happy for you, Mark,” Mona said, hugging me tightly and warmly.“Thank you, Mona,” I said.I felt slight guilt because all this time, I was thinking of Alexa and dying to set my eyes on her. Mona had been nothing but caring and supportive, and she didn’t deserve to be treated like this. Didn’t I assure myself that I had gotten over Alexa Silver?Why couldn’t I get her off my mind for hours now?I blamed Vector for bringing her t

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Just To See Her

    MARK“Are you really going to go over to her?” Vector had asked me when I made to leave after he pointed me in the direction of where Alexa had her business stand.“I just want to see her, that’s why,” I had responded to Vector.“But why?” Vector had asked. “You said you were moving on from her, and you are even in a relationship with Mona now,” he had reminded me. “What would you say to her if you went to her now? Do you want to trigger her? Do you want to upset her?” Vector had questioned me deeply.“Why are you being defensive over her, Vector,” I had asked. “I am not being defensive, Mark Ronaldo. I am just being very realistic, and it’s only fair that you go back to your lover whom you have been flaunting since the fair began, and stick with her,” Vector had said, almost angrily.Not that Vector really wanted me to be with Mona. I figured that he was just upset. He had always wanted me to be with Alexa and no one else.“What is the meaning of this?” I had asked Vector.“I just d

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   His Tiny Revenge

    ALEXA“I don’t know why Noelle is taking so much time,” I muttered to myself, becoming more and more uncomfortable being left alone.After what he said to me, my eyes began to dart about, seeking Donald Shell.I didn’t want him to appear without my notice. Now that I had been alerted, I wanted to stay conscious. Maybe that way, I wouldn’t be so scared.But inside of me was already shivering.“Gosh, I think I am going to be sick,” I said to myself as I placed my hand on my chest.The feeling at the pit of my stomach, mixed with dread, was making my head spin. Right now, I just wanted to leave. I didn’t care about the fair anymore or even my business; I hadn’t even had a single person look in my direction, and Shirley had been gone for a while now and yet nothing anyway.If leaving would make me feel better, keep my baby safe, and get me far away from Donald Shell, I would gladly forfeit it.If only I had raised the money, I would have flown out of Paris right this instant; that was how

    ALEXA“Alexa, what is going on?” Noelle walked into my bedroom and asked me.“What’s going on?” I asked her in return.“Why haven’t you filed the case yet?” Noelle asked.“And how did you know that I haven’t done it?” I asked Noelle again, using questions to answer her questions.“Stop playing with

  • 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.

    MARKI kept my head bowed for some minutes, just trying to think of the next thing to do. Vector was right.I never wanted to be found in this situation, but apparently, it seemed that I would need an ally since I already involved Vector. Allegations of being paid to threaten a woman’s peace was o

It was as though something was pulling me, and if I didn’t get this out of the way right now, I would be restless.“Are you okay?” Do
