MARK

I 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

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   For Who?

    ALEXA“How are you feeling now, Alexa?” The doctor asked as he came for another round of checkup.“I feel a lot better,” I told him.And that was the truth.The pain I was feeling in my lower abdomen had disappeared and I could turn freely.“I can see that,” the doctor said with a warm smile.“Is the positioning of the baby better?” Noelle asked worriedly.She stayed back after our conversation, and that meant Shirley had to leave. Noelle told her that she was here to take care of me now and that Shirley was, of course, welcome to come and visit at any time.And now, I felt really guilty.Despite what Noelle was going through, she was already acting all protective and caring of me, and yet, the first chance I got, I was quick to cut her off without even listening to what she had to say.It wasn’t fair.Once again, I had allowed my anger to overrule my emotions, and it made me think of Mark; of how I had also pushed him away without giving him a listening ear.“The baby is doing just f

    MARK“Mark Ronaldo, we are so glad that you could make it all the way here,” the head of the company told me.“I was hoping that we would be able to get everything signed in an hour or two,” I responded with a nod.He also nodded.There were other business associates dressed in fine and expensive suits. I arrived a while ago and they had had to run me through their expectations for the project in the next six months and I understood their need for that.“We will have it drafted out immediately,” he said.I was surprised.“It’s not ready yet?” I asked, turning to the business associate that I had kept in touch with for days now.With the explanation he gave over the phone, I thought that it was ready, and that all I had to do was fly in and sign. Getting a private plane to fly me down here wasn’t easy, and if it wasn’t for my influence and money, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve that.I was really hoping that I wouldn’t have to spend more than two hours here so that I could get rig

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Mention Of His Name

    IVYI couldn’t stop thinking about my visit to my mum. There were two things that basically occupied my mind; running into Detective Kent and what Donald Shell owed my mum.“With how well disguised I was, I doubt he will be able to recognize me,” I said to myself.If he did, he would have acted that way, but from the way he stared at me, it was obvious that he didn’t catch my face. To him, he had simply almost knocked a stranger down.And so I didn’t think much about it.However, the money...One hundred thousand dollars!I wasn’t even thinking of the percentage from the company. Knowing how greedy Donald Shell was, I knew that he would never give anything from the company he stole from Alexa and her father even though it was in a small percentage.“I need that money,” I muttered to myself.My mum was going to rot in jail for the rest of her life. There were no chances of her ever coming out because Alexa would never forgive her for killing her father, and so I wasn’t thinking about h

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Reason To Forgive

    ALEXAI woke up from my nap, expecting to see Shirley beside me, or no one else, but I was surprised to see Noelle sitting beside me.For a moment, I thought that I was dreaming or seeing a ghost, but she was real as could be.“Noelle,” I called, my breath coming out in a gasp.I was more shocked from seeing her than upset because she was the last person I expected to see. The last time I spoke to Noelle, she was out of the country, but now, here she was, staring at me with gloomy eyes.“Alexa, you are awake,” she said.There was something about Noelle’s voice that expressed nothing but sadness, and she looked very weak and pale.“What are you doing here?” I asked her.Before I took a nap, Shirley and Reyna were here after Reyna gave me the flowers that she had gotten for me.“I had hoped to see you for the first time in the year at your house, but I guess the universe had other plans. Anyway, I am happy that you are fine,” Reyna had said lightly.Then she and Shirley had talked off m

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   An Easy Decision

    MARKThe doctor didn’t need to say more before I understood everything he meant, and the ones his mouth didn’t speak, his eyes conveyed.He knew that Alexa needed protection.But would she let me protect her?“Mark,” Vector called, distracting me from my thought.I turned to Vector, who was standing close to Reyna.“Are you okay?” Vector asked me worriedly.They were both staring at me with deep worry.“Did the doctor say something about Alexa that we should be worried about?” He asked me further.“No, he didn’t,” I said, shaking my head.“Are you sure?” Vector asked more deeply.“Yes, Vector, I am sure,” I responded.“I texted Shirley, and she told me that it was okay for me to come in and say hi to Miss Alexa...Miss Alexa didn’t mind,” Reyna said carefully.She didn’t want to hurt me, and at the same time, she wanted to let me know before going in with her flowers. I was envious and a little upset, but not at Reyna; it wasn’t her fault that Alexa chose to see her over me.“It’s fine

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Weight Of His Words

    MARKVector and I waited at the reception area for the doctor to return and tell me that I could see Alexa.“You need to calm down, Mark,” Vector told me, but I lashed out at him.“Don’t freaking ask me to calm down!” I barked at him.He had no idea what was running through my mind.After Reyna’s call, I had been left utterly clueless. She didn’t give me much information to work with.The doctor wasn’t saying much either.At this very moment, I had no idea how Alexa or my baby was doing. I had no clue what happened that led Alexa to be rushed to the hospital.Weren’t we here for our parental classes a while ago?Alexa was hale and hearty for crying out loud!“I am sorry,” Vector said. “I am just worried that you would give yourself a heart attack or fall sick if you continue like that,” he added with deep care.But I wasn’t concerned about all that.“The only person who deserves any form of worrying over is Alexa and my baby,” I snapped and Vector raised his hand in surrender, choosin

    MARKA call from Vector woke me up, making me grumble with annoyance.“Isn’t it too early to be calling anyone?” I asked when I eventually picked up the call.I knew that if I didn’t pick up, Vector would probably continue calling, and now that he had interrupted my sleep, I wouldn’t be able to go
