Mag-log inMARKI drove all the way to Vector’s apartment after the conversation, which he even ended the call. I had never heard Vector so upset with me like that before.And rightly so.It was important for me to sort this out before I left because I would hate to leave with Vector and I not on speaking terms.Not that Vector would ever be able to keep a grudge with me.Right from when we became friends, Vector had never been able to keep malice with me. Even the times when I had been the one at fault, Vector had been the first to come around.At first, I had honestly thought that it was because of my status and the family I came from; power and influence, and it aided in boosting my ego because I was raised to believe that I could always have anything and anyone around.It had been working for me for years.All I needed was to speak to Vector and we would be good.The only reason I was going over to his house was because I didn’t want him to think that I didn’t care at all. I was jealous for
ALEXAI could feel Noelle’s strange stare on me and for a while, she hadn’t stopped looking at me.“Noelle, you are going to bore a hole through my head staring at me like that,” I told her.Noelle was quiet for a few seconds, as though she was trying to calculate what she would say to me, but I was patient, knowing that no one could change my mind now.She was right about me wanting to move to Versailles for a few months to get Mark away from Mona, but I wasn’t lying when I said it was also for my sanity.Mona would continue to do all it took to get on my nerves and it wouldn’t be healthy for the baby and me.“You have changed a lot, Alexa,” Noelle eventually said.“How do you mean?” I asked her, staring back at her and curious at the same time.“The Alexa Silver I knew before she met and fell in love with Mark Ronaldo is nothing like this,” Noelle said without giving me a direct answer.“How was she like?” I asked.“She was very cautious, lively, and she would never do anything to h
MARKAlexa had given me an assignment and not doing it right away made me feel as though she would know all the way from her house and maybe punish me or change her mind.Changing her mind would even be punishment to me at this point.“What if you both go to Versailles and Alexa still wouldn’t talk to you?” A voice in my head asked me.I recalled immediately that after announcing that she would marry me and even declaring that it had to be that weekend, Alexa had made it the worst wedding in not just the entire Paris, but for me as well.At some point, I might have appreciated it if she hadn’t agreed to marry me.Till this very moment, Alexa and I were acting more like strangers rather than married. It was even worse because when we weren’t married, at least, we were having sex and she was talking to me.What if this would be worse?The thought of Alexa making things more difficult and complicated for me in Versailles almost made me shudder, but I was quick to shake it off.No matter
MARK“Hello, Mark,” Alexa said again when I didn’t give her a response.And that was because I was still stunned and confused.Alexa knew just how to make me speechless by the random decisions that she was making.First of all, she made me believe that she wasn’t going to be changing her mind, and then secondly, she wasn’t even talking to me after calling me several times and I didn’t pick up.Calling me right now to just ask that kind of question took me completely off guard.If I hadn’t committed Alexa’s voice to memory, I might have thought that this was someone else, but it was Alexa, loud and clear.“Um, yes, I am here,” I cleared my throat and said.I couldn’t even move a muscle right now. My entire body had gone rigid completely.“Did you hear what I asked?” Alexa asked me.She sounded as though she was running out of patience.“How soon can we move to Versailles?” Alexa asked me again.“Um...soon,” I responded.In all honesty, I was still very confused.If Alexa had been like
MARKMona thought that driving her back to my house meant that I wanted her to spend some time here, but she was gravely wrong.The drive back from the baby store was filled with silence.Mona tried to start a conversation, but the tightness of my jaw and the hardness of my face was enough to warn her off. For the first time, Mona was slightly afraid of my reaction, so much so that she had behaved herself without having to tell her.“Get a cab,” I told Mona the moment we both got down from my car after parking at the parking lot.I was already signaling to one of my domestic staff members to come over.“Mark, are you...” Mona started to ask with a tone of shock, but she stopped when the staff member got to where we were both standing.“Welcome back, Mr. Mark,” he greeted with a bow.He was smart enough not to extend that respect to Mona because I would have been very pissed off at him.“What do you need me to do, sir?” He asked me.“She is getting a cab, so I need you to help her tran
ALEXANoelle was too stunned to even speak for some minutes, and at a point, I almost wondered if she had gone deaf suddenly.“What did you just say?” Noelle asked me, eventually breaking the silence between us after my announcement.I just didn’t feel the need to say something until Noelle had responded, and that was why I stayed quiet and waited for her.Now that she had spoken, I walked over to one of the couches and settled into it. Then I began to sip from my latte, trying to get all the rest that I could.It was as though I had been standing for hours or days already, but now that I was sitting, I just felt more relaxed and at ease.“I have agreed to go with Mark to Versailles for some months,” I repeated firmly.Noelle knew already that I wasn’t the kind of person to play a prank, and even if I wanted to, it certainly wouldn’t be something revolving around Mark. If I could do without mentioning his name or even thinking about him, I wouldn’t bother about it at all.“Why?” Noell
ALEXAToday being a new day, I decided to concentrate on spending time in the attic and getting rid of old and useless things.I just wanted to get my mind off two disturbing things; the harsh reality that hit after Donald Shell announced to the public of the new name he had changed the company to.
ALEXAFor a couple of seconds, I was rendered speechless.“What?” I said through rasped breath when I was eventually able to say something, but it came out in a whisper that I didn’t even think that Noelle would have heard me.“Yes, Alexa, I am engaged,” Noelle said.Her excitement was even realer
MARK“You are going to regret this, Mark Ronaldo. Don’t ever think that the battle between us is over,” Donald Shell eventually said.If he was trying to threaten me, he didn’t succeed.“I think we now know that you don’t hold anything over me,” I told him confidently and with a smirk.“But I do ha
MARK“I am not here because of you, Mark, and I have been given right to come here,” Clara said firmly.“Don’t move an inch,” I said to the cops warningly as I brought out my cell phone.They were obviously the ones leading Clara, and they would be the ones to stop her from proceeded further into t
