“You need to leave, ma’am,” the cop told me.

Oscar had been dragged roughly back to the cell, and it hurt me deeply that I could do nothing to stop or help him. In that moment, I wished that I had some sort of power to get him out of this situation. I was scared of leaving, because I had no idea when I would be able to see him again.

What did he mean by it was already too late?

“Why did you drag him away like that?” I asked defensively, standing up for Oscar. “He didn’t do anything wrong!” I added.

“I would leave if I were you,” he said, ignoring my outburst, and as though it was an afterthought, he whispered warningly to me, “And you should never tell anyone that you were here.”

Shivers ran down my spine at the tone and words that he used.

“Why not?” I asked curiously.

Not that I would have announced to the world that I came to see Oscar, because he was nothing but my secret lover, but I still wanted to know why I was being warned in that dreadful and fearful manner.

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Company I Want

    ALEXAAfter leaving my dad’s company, I called Noelle.“Hi, Alexa, I have been waiting for your call,” Noelle said worriedly the moment the call connected.“Well, the meeting is over now,” I said tightly.I didn’t want her to catch the deep pain and anger in my voice, because that would make her more worried, so I tried to sound blank instead.“How did it go?” Noelle asked.“It went well,” I answered directly.There was no point in mentioning to Noelle that I would be working side by side with Mark Ronaldo. First of all, she didn’t like him, and secondly, I wasn’t in the mood for that. Talking about it might make me break down in tears, and I didn’t want to scare the cab driver.“Just well?” Noelle asked.Even though I wanted to prevent her from worrying, I still didn’t succeed.“Yes, Noelle, it went just well,” I told her.“Okay, but when you get here you will get me all the details, right?” Noelle asked me and I swallowed.That was exactly why I decided to call her right after getti

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Worse Than I Thought

    ALEXA As much as I hated this, I had no other choice, but even walking into the boardroom again with my dad and seeing Mark Ronaldo’s face ignited the anger in me.Especially as seeing him brought the words back to my head.However, I had to keep my anger and bitterness aside just as I promised my dad that I would.We spent quite a while talking in that empty office, and he did have a hard time trying to convince me, but what broke my defense was when he broke down in tears.“This company is far gone, Alexa,” he had said, deeply sad and dejected. “It is worse than what you are even seeing, and I assure you that you cannot do it on your own, especially with your brand that you also have to run. You need someone, Alexa, and the only person I can trust that will not steal from us is Mark Ronaldo. I mean, if you don’t believe me, isn’t this empty office space enough reason for you?” He had asked me deeply.That was when I had realized that truly, this was an office that was supposed to b

    MARK“I don’t think this is going to work,” I said to Mr. Silver’s lawyer.First of all, Alexa’s explosion had taken me by utter surprise. Granted, we weren’t particularly a fan of each other, and I knew that.Heck, I didn’t even plan to ever set eyes on her again, and I was only seated here because of Mr. Silver and what he claimed I owed him, otherwise, I would have absolutely nothing to do with Alexa Silver.But that hostility and venom in her eyes were something I had never seen in her before.I had seen all shades of annoyance and reactions based off of anger, especially since after our divorce, but never this, and I wondered what I could have done that made her to react that way. If I could act cordial and composed in a formal gathering such as this, why couldn’t she?“Why would you think so?” He asked me.I was surprised that he would be asking me that kind of question.“Did you not see her reaction or are you just pretending to ignore it?” I asked the lawyer.The man was exces

    ALEXA“What is he doing here?” I asked hotly again when I didn’t get the response I was looking for.“Alexa, please, can you sit down for a bit?” My dad asked me politely, but I exploded hotly.“I am not sitting down until he leaves!” I bellowed.The hatred I felt deep inside of my reverberated in my eyes, so much so that it made my dad and his lawyer worried. As for Mark, I didn’t even bother to look at him, because I didn’t want to see what his reaction to my outburst was, and more than that, I didn’t even want to set eyes on him.The words he said to Donald came into my head again, infuriating me even more.“Alexa,” my dad called gently.“No, dad!” I yelled, not bothering with the fact that I was sounding disrespectful to my dad in the presence of two other men. “Tell him to leave right now!” I barked louder.I couldn’t even bring myself to mention Mark’s name; that was how bitter and infuriated I was.They were all quiet, watching me with worry in my eyes, as though I was crazy or

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Moving On

    ALEXAI could barely stop thinking about those words long after Donald left.How could Mark say something like that about me? Like I was a cheap whore he could pass around easily. I had always known that Mark never loved me, but did he have to be so condescending and humiliating. Even if I was in doubt before, that statement was all I needed to know that not only did Mark not love me, he didn’t even want me.“Alexa?” Noelle called worriedly.“Yes,” I responded, snapping out of my thought.“Are you okay?” Noelle asked.“Yes, I am,” I answered.“Are you sure?” She questioned deeply.“Yes, why do you ask?” I asked Noelle.“You have tears in your eyes, Alexa, and since Donald left, you have been lost in thought,” Noelle observed.“I am fine,” I lied, blinking back tears that I didn’t even notice were there to begin with.Gosh, why was I even feeling horrible over this?I already knew this from the very beginning. All Mark’s actions had done nothing but told me just how much he didn’t giv

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Bubbles Of Hate

    ALEXA“What do you think, Alexa?” Noelle asked me.“About what?” I asked, pretending not to understand the question she was asking.I already made payment, and today, we were back to the property to supervise the decoration and set up of our equipment.“Come on, Alexa, stop acting dumb,” Noelle said.“I am not acting dumb, Noelle. I am simply concentrating on the job that is being done, and that is what you should also be doing,” I said to her.“We aren’t even the ones getting it done, so please,” Noelle countered.“But paying close attention is why we are here. How would we spot any errors if you and I are talking?” I asked Noelle.“You are just trying to avoid this particular topic, and you have been doing it since yesterday. You were free from me because you spent the night at your apartment, but I will not allow you go scot free again today,” Noelle said. “We are talking about it and that is final,” she declared.I almost forgot that Noelle had a degree in pushing for answers and
