Something Isn't Adding Up

MARK

Staying in my study and soaking myself in work was just my only way to cope with the divorce and everything that happened that day.

Truly, Alexa was nothing like I knew before.

My worry now talking about it to anyone, especially that friend of hers. I tried to imagine Alexa telling Noelle how she allowed me to kiss her and then ended up not liking it, and of course, they would giggle over it and make jest of me, and if I was unfortunate, it would get to the blogs, and I would be doomed forever.

Jeez!

I couldn’t even bring myself to telling Vector what happened. When he had asked, I had simply told him that the divorce was finalized and I had set Alexa free, but deep inside, I knew exactly what I was feeling. Deep down, I wished I hadn’t set her free.

“Is my kissing terrible?” I asked myself.

I hadn’t been able to do much since I sat on my chair for hours now, because Alexa’s hurtful words kept playing in my head, and it was making me sick to my stomach. Damn, I had my first kiss

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Possible Stalker

    ALEXAI arrived at my store feeling refreshed and better than I thought I would feel. Contrary to my worry, spending the night at Donald’s house had brought me more peace.Donald was a complete gentleman.He didn’t make any attempt to touch me inappropriately or use the opportunity of my presence in his house to take advantage of me. His bed was soft, big, and soothing, and by morning, Donald had ensured that breakfast and coffee were made available for me.Aside from Noelle, I had never felt this protected by anyone before, and it made my heart swell with gratitude.“I am sorry about what happened at your apartment last night,” my secretary told me as soon as I stepped into the store and we exchanged pleasantries.“It’s in the news already, right?” I asked, rolling my eyes.It was impossible not to be in the news once you were already in the spotlight. It came with my career path, and I had already decided to accept my fate.“Yes,” she answered.“I am happy that he didn’t get to harm

    MARKI didn’t sleep a wink all through the night. I couldn’t stop thinking about Alexa and Donald. If I was doubting that something might be brewing between them before, it was confirmed last night.“Gosh, I can’t believe that Alexa chose Donald’s house over mine, a home we once shared as a couple,” I groaned in annoyance.Donald’s bragging words flashed through my head, and the mocking look he had in his eyes last night as he took Alexa away already showed that he had declared himself the victor.“Damn!” I exclaimed in exasperation.I might lie and pretend to everyone else, but I couldn’t deny the fact that I was deeply scared and worried about Donald taking Alexa from me. If it was another man, regardless of his money and social status, I might not have been this worried, but Donald Shell?I knew him well enough to know that he was a snake that could get anything he set his mind to.Years ago, if it wasn’t for Vector, I would have signed away my company to him. There was no doubt th

    ALEXADonald’s guestroom was beautiful and well decorated, and even more, the bed was plush and soft. The moment I set eyes on it, I wanted to fall on it instantly.“Everything you need is right here, ma’am,” Donald’s help said politely. “But if you need anything else, please do not hesitate to call me with the room intercom,” she said.I nodded in gratitude. “I will put that in mind, thank you,” I told her.The bedroom had an intercom that was close to the bed, which meant that I could call at any time, but I knew that there was no way I would do such a thing. Even though she was a help, she also deserved to sleep at night, and I knew that if it wasn’t for my sudden presence, she would not be up and about her job.“I think you should freshen up and come downstairs for something to eat,” she said.“Uh, no, I don’t think I have appetite to eat anything,” I told her and I meant it.I just wanted the night to be over already.“I am sorry, ma’am, but Mr. Donald insisted that I prepared so

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Final Destination

    ALEXAI didn’t even know where Donald was taking me. He reached out to my hand as we sat at the back of his fancy car and snaked his fingers around mine.I didn’t want to go to his house.Regardless of the fact that I had told Mark that I wanted Donald instead, I didn’t want to go with him. I still didn’t know enough about Donald to spend a night at his house, and in all honesty, I would have preferred doing that at a house I shared with Mark for years than a stranger’s house.Gosh, what was I thinking?I couldn’t deny that I had acted hysterically back at Mark’s house, and that was due to what happened, but right now, my decision had changed.We had been quiet, and it was making me a little uncomfortable, and I also had questions to ask, so I cleared my throat calmly.“How did you know that I was there?” I asked, referring to Mark’s house.I hadn’t even dialed his number yet, which I wasn’t going to do anyway; I had only pretended that I wanted to just to make Mark jealous, and he sh

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Taste Of His Medicine

    ALEXAI wanted to turn it down. It was in my eyes to turn down Mark’s offer, or no, his directive, but even the cops saw that I was shaking.“I think that would be the best option until your door is fixed and you are over the trauma,” the cop had said.That was the only reason I followed Mark, and I insisted that it wasn’t because I was very scared. Even if Mark hadn’t offered, I would not have slept in the apartment.“He could have hurt me, or even killed me,” I said to myself, shaken to my bones.I have never experienced something like this before, and I worried that I would not be able to get over the fear and trauma soon enough.On the drive to Mark’s house, the house we once shared as husband and wife, we stayed completely quiet. My wrist where Oscar had held me tightly ached badly, and without being told, I knew that it would have a red parch already.I closed my eyes to keep back the tears that were threatening to fall. I didn’t want to cry in front of Mark. It was bad enough

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Rivals' Scuffle

    MARKComing to Alexa’s apartment and finding Oscar trying to hurt her made me realize that the urge to turn around and come to her apartment wasn’t just the mere impulse of wanting to have a conversation with her about Donald.Seeing Oscar’s hand on her made my blood boil with anger.When I had gotten close to her apartment, I had stopped, because somehow, I still didn’t want anyone to know that I was here even though it was almost the middle of the night and the possibility of that was unlikely, I had sensed immediately that something was off.“I asked you to let her go right now,” I warned Oscar.The living room light was still on, but I could tell that something wasn’t right, and when I touched the doorknob, it had opened easily and quietly. I was married to Alexa for years to know that she wasn’t careless with doors. Then I had seen them, but that wasn’t before I had quickly sent a message to the cops, just in case her intruder was armed.“I knew something wasn’t right about you,

    ALEXA“You and I aren’t going to be spending another minute in my house, Oscar,” I said, countering Oscar’s statement. “You either leave now or I will call the cops on you,” I threatened.My heart was still beating hard against my chest, and I had a feeling that Oscar knew that I would not be able to call the cops, because my phone wasn’t in my hand and my hand bag was close to him.“Why don’t you want me?” Oscar asked, refusing to move an inch.Of course, he wasn’t moved by my threat, because he was smart enough to see the obvious.I looked around the living room again, trying to see if there was anything close to me that I could grab, because the longer Oscar stayed in the apartment with me, the scarier I became.He hadn’t moved from the position he was since I walked into the living room and found him there. He looked dangerous and creepy, and I was very worried about what he had in mind to do. Besides, no one would break into anyone’s house without the intention of hurting them or

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Change Of Plans

    MARKI had to linger in the restroom area for some minutes to soak in the embarrassment and anger that Donald had placed on me before returning to my table.When I walked back into the room, my eyes connected with Donald’s and I could see and feel his mocking look. Also, there was this creepy determination in his eyes that told me that he meant every single word he said about being with Alexa.My blood boiled, but more than I was willing to admit, I feared that Donald would win.I feared that he had already won and Alexa had already fallen for his charms.“You went after him, didn’t you?” Vector asked me as soon as I took my seat.“What made you say that?” I asked him in return.“Because it is very obvious, Mark. The moment he got up and went to the restroom, you also got up and went in the same direction,” Vector said. Then he continued. “Everyone here can see that you hate Donald and is affected by his presence.”“That is not true,” I denied flatly.“Have you seen your face, Mark?”

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   An Insistent Guest

    ALEXA I arrived at the apartment tired and exhausted, but very relieved that I had gotten one issue handled. At least now, I know that I would not be seeing Oscar’s face.He would not have the opportunity to even see me and ask me why I turned down his contract, which was a good thing. I didn’t even want to know what he and Ivy might have planned towards me. Right now, especially with this new project I just got, I just wanted to focus on my business and stay happy.I dumped my hand bag on the couch and proceeded into the kitchen to grab a glass of milk.My secretary and I had worked late into the nigh today, because as the days drew nearer when I would travel with the pop-star, we got busier with planning and putting together outfits. So far, all the samples I had sent to his PA have been approved.In her words, they were all spectacular and the pop-star would be wowed!“I should call Noelle and tell her what I found out today,” I said to myself as I gulped down the milk, but then
