ALEXA

Five years ago…

I waited for Mark to get dressed for his doctor’s appointment with Doctor Jones. He would never have me in the bedroom when he wanted to get dressed, and he always excused himself whenever I wanted to freshen up.

Every time he stepped out, it always broke my heart because deep down, I wanted Mark Ronaldo to touch me.

Two weeks and he wouldn’t even let me come anywhere close to me on the bed.

When I saw Mark coming down the stairs slowly and almost painfully, I was tempted

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   No Longer Engaged

    MARKFive years ago…“Don’t drive fast,” I told Ivy as she drove out of my house.“Why? You used to like driving fast, Mark,” Ivy said lightly, almost making me upset.“I got into coma because of a car accident and you are asking me this kind of question?” I asked her, displeased that she could say something like that.I didn’t even recall how I used to like my driving, but certainly not fast at the moment. The thought of even being inside this car was already life-threatening for me, only that I wasn’t saying this to anyone because of pride.“Jeez, I was just teasing, Mark,” Ivy said.“Just drive slowly,” I instructed her firmly.“Of course, Mark. I am neither stupid nor insensitive,” she responded.She was the one who suggested that she wanted to take me to my doctor’s appointment when she came around yesterday, and I accepted because she was the most familiar face around me before the accident.I was still trying to get used to seeing Alexa all the time around me, especially on my

    ALEXAFive years ago…I waited for Mark to get dressed for his doctor’s appointment with Doctor Jones. He would never have me in the bedroom when he wanted to get dressed, and he always excused himself whenever I wanted to freshen up.Every time he stepped out, it always broke my heart because deep down, I wanted Mark Ronaldo to touch me.Two weeks and he wouldn’t even let me come anywhere close to me on the bed.When I saw Mark coming down the stairs slowly and almost painfully, I was tempted to hurry to him and help him, but I was afraid that he would hate it and snap at me. He was full of pride and if he had his way, he wouldn’t take any form of help from me.Mark was dressed in the clothes I brought out for him.Since we got back from the hospital, I had been the one taking care of Mark’s clothes. I always chose what he would wear, and surprisingly, he had never complained or refused that part of my help.“Oh…” I muttered to myself when I noticed that Mark Ronaldo had shaved up.I

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Never Mine

    ALEXAFive years agoThe first tear slipped out of my eye the moment I entered the kitchen.The pain was just unbearable.Worse, I could hear Ivy’s laughter from the living room, and I could bet that Mark was smiling as well. Only God knew whatever the heck they were talking about that sounded funny.Two weeks I had been with Mark Ronaldo since he got discharged from the hospital and returned home, and not once had he been kind to me, or even as much as shared a joke, and now this.My phone rang, disrupting my thought. When I saw that it was the doctor, I picked up.“Doctor Jones, good afternoon,” I greeted with deep pain in my heart.“Alexa, how are you?” He asked me.“I am fine,” I lied.Heaven knew I was far from fine.“Are you sure? You sound really dull and downcast,” he noted. “Is something wrong?” He asked with deep care.“No, Doctor Jones, nothing is wrong,” I insisted on lying.I just couldn’t bring myself to telling the doctor, who was almost a stranger, or even anyone else

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   And She Shows Up

    ALEXAFive years agoNoelle didn’t speak to me for the next one week after breaking the news to her. She was livid as hell, and a part of me didn’t blame her.From the very first moment I told her who I had fallen in love with, she had kicked against it. She had insisted that Mark Ronaldo wasn’t the right man for me.“Why? Do you even know him personally?” I had asked Noelle, surprised at her vehement rejection. “No, I don’t know him personally, but what I do have is experience with me, and so I know a man who is only going to hurt you and never love you when I see him,” she had responded.And then it got worse when he got engaged to Ivy instead.“I told you he would never love you and he would only end up hurting you,” Noelle had reminded me.But tried as hard as I wanted to, I couldn’t stop loving Mark Ronaldo even though he was engaged to my stepsister. It was wrong, but I couldn’t.It was painful to watch him shower Ivy with love and attention, especially after I saw him first, b

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Married To Him

    ALEXAFive years ago…Taking care of Mark Ronaldo in his house was more difficult than I ever imagined. The mood swings became incessant.He was erratic, rude, and very distasteful.I could barely satisfy him.He allowed me to stay in his bedroom after that night, but he left a strict warning.“On no account should your body ever touch mine.”And I stuck to that.As long as he allowed me to stay in the room to keep close watch on him, I didn’t mind. The doctor later told me that after we spoke, he had to call Mark to properly explain to him the severity of his situation, and that if he wanted to get well, he would have to let me take care of him.The doctor’s mistake had been not explaining things properly to Mark, and that was because he didn’t think Mark would resist assistance.However, things didn’t get better.It had been almost a week now and Mark was not treating me any better. He snapped at practically nothing. He was always acting as though he couldn’t stand the sight of me.

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   In The Dark

    ALEXAFive years ago…When it got dark, I went back to Mark’s bedroom. I just couldn’t let him sleep alone because he was still recovering. He might not understand that he needed care and close watch, but I knew that well enough. The doctor had also made me assure him that I would take care of Mark and always keep a close watch on him.Even without the doctor’s words, I still would have cared about Mark because I loved him dearly with all my heart.“Who is it?” Mark asked the moment I entered the room.It was completely dark.I entered noiselessly, but Mark was quick to detect my presence, which meant that he wasn’t even sleeping. After eating and taking his medication, I had thought that he would have gone right to bed, but he hadn’t.That made me to believe even more that he needed my presence.“It’s just me, Alexa,” I responded calmly.“Did you want something?” He asked, his tone stiff and gruff.“Uh, no,” I responded.“Did you keep your things in this room?” Mark was quick to ask
