ALEXA

We arrived at the restaurant and went to the table that Donald had reserved for the both of us.

“It’s a beautiful restaurant,” I complimented.

One thing I had noticed about Donald was the fact that he was always intentional about everything. His flowers were always fresh, expensive, and with great fragrance, and the few times I had allowed him to take me out were always to really nice places.

“You think so?” Donald asked.

“I know so,” I responded as he pulled out a chair for me.

I sat down before Donald went over to his own chair and took his seat. Right now, I felt less hurt and pained than I was, which made me conclude that I made the right choice in accepting his invitation to lunch.

“But it’s a little empty and scanty,” I stated as I looked around.

For a beautiful restaurant, I had expected to see guests and patrons. Donald smiled.

“This is our moment, Alexa, and I didn’t want it to be ruined or interrupted,” Donald said, sounding romantic.

That made me feel a little uncomfo

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   My Mission

    ALEXAI looked at my wardrobe, trying to figure out what to wear. This was the first time I was looking at my clothes and had no idea what to wear.“You know that it’s because you are meeting with Mark today,” a voice in my head told me.I wish I could deny it, but I couldn’t. Besides, there wasn’t anyone here that would judge my thoughts even if I decided to say them out loud. This was one of the reasons I enjoyed getting my own apartment. Even though I had some form of privacy when I still lived with Noelle, it just wasn’t the same.It was as though she always knew my thoughts even before I spoke them out loud.“What’s wrong with thinking about a good choice because I am meeting with Mark Ronaldo?” I asked myself.I looked at my clothes again, one after another, and I was looking for the one that would be something else; I didn’t even have the perfect word for it.And yes, I wasn’t going to feel bad about it.I wasn’t looking for something extraordinary because I still loved Mark an

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Most Dangerous Shark

    MARKI had just finished going through the last document I intended to work on when Vector called me.“Vector,” I said into the phone.“Have you gone to bed yet?” Vector asked me.“Not yet, why do you ask?” I asked.“I was thinking we could hang out at Dancing Devils tonight,” Vector suggested. “It has been too long since we last went out,” he added.“Not too long, Vector,” I said.It was ironical that weeks back, Vector would not have been talking about hanging out at the Dancing Devils because of everything that had happened that could have ruined our lives completely.“But you do get the point, don’t you?” Vector asked.“Yes, I do…” I said, dragging the last words because I wanted to think about it.I didn’t have any other plans other than wrapping up with the files and going to bed. I was already in a bad mood because of what I ran into at Mr. Silver’s house. However, thankfully, I had work, and so it took my mind off it for a while.Thinking about it now, I might go to bed with t

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Verdict

    ALEXAFinally, the dinner that seemed to be stretching for so long ended, much to my relief.“Alexa, honey, do you want to maybe join me in clearing the table?” Clara asked, getting back to her acting.She had been quiet for long, and that was majorly because the conversation had shifted from false pretenses and silly compliments to business talk.But she would not fool me with any of her acting.“That’s the job of the maids,” I stated as we all got up. “Didn’t they set the table?” I asked her.I wouldn’t have minded clearing the table. It wouldn’t have been a big deal. Besides, all the years I was married to Mark, I cleared the table every single time, but I wasn’t doing that with a woman who suddenly began to act nice because a wealthy man was coming home with me.I could bet that if Ivy was still here, she would have made an attempt to match them together. Wasn’t that what she did with Mark? She knew that I had liked him, and that my dad had wanted to introduce him to me, but she b

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Getting Acquainted

    ALEXAI watched Mark leave, and still couldn’t tear my eyes away from the door until Donald held my hand and squeezed it gently.Affectionately.“Huh?” I said dumbly, turning to him as though he had said something to me.He smiled instead.“Down to earth, Alexa,” he said nicely.I shook my head to get rid of any form of distraction, and that was the exact moment my dad returned to the table.“Apologies for taking longer than necessary,” my dad said in a gentlemanly way.“It’s fine, Mr. Silver. Your wife and daughter have been good hosts,” Donald said.He was lying.Clara and I had an altercation while my dad was away and I lost concentration for a few minutes, but yet, he chose to lie.“Then, I am a lucky man,” my dad said with a smile.“And I am an even luckier man to be a part of this beautiful family,” Donald responded. I almost cringed at that.“I suppose your business with him went well?” Donald asked gently, in a way that didn’t say that he was prying, even though that was exac

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Flared Up

    ALEXAWhat was Mark doing here?!I did see a file in his hand, and after leaving with my dad, it was obvious that he was here for business talk, so why was I unsettled?I wasn’t feeling unsettled because I had now come to hate Mark. Rather, I was feeling this way because he saw me with Donald, and I couldn’t explain why.I didn’t even look at him for the few minutes he stood in front of us. I couldn’t look at him, and I wanted him to leave as quickly as possible.“Alexa?” Donald called.I heard the sound of his voice somewhere far away in my head, because I was far gone in thought.“Yes?” I answered, turning to look at Donald.“Are you okay?” Donald asked charmingly.“Yes, I am fine,” I told him, but I wasn’t.“Are you sure?” He asked me.“Yes, I am,” I responded.“Alexa is used to feeling lost most of the time, so I think this is one of those times,” Clara said with a smile, but I heard the insult laced with those words.And I just couldn’t take it.I turned to her instantly.“Why wo

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Speak Or Stay Quiet?

    MARKI felt like a stranger who had just walked into an intimate family get-together and ruined it, but I couldn’t just turn around and walk away even if it was what I wanted to do.“Mark,” Mr. Silver said, sounding slightly surprised to see me.“Donald, dear, would you like some more water?” Clara asked her guest sweetly.And this guest happened to be sitting right next to Alexa. They were the perfect picture of a couple who had come to visit her parents for dinner. If I had any idea that this was going on, I would not have bothered coming at all.“Not yet, Mrs. Silver,” Donald responded calmly. “Your food tastes delicious by the way, and thank you for having me,” Donald added nicely.I wasn’t dumb. I knew exactly what it was that they were doing. Clara was intentionally being petty. Ivy and I never worked out, and she wanted to show me what being welcomed into the family felt like. As for Donald, he had smirk on his face that seemed like only I could see.“You should sit and join us
