LOGINIVY“Hey, you,” she called with a sneer.It was the bitter nurse again, but I was almost getting used to her nasty attitude.It was time for my doctor’s appointment, and I was ready and eager…so eager that I was finding it hard to even act like I wasn’t.Thankfully, Lina Barry hadn’t been to my room for about two days now, and I hadn’t been to hers, otherwise she would have bombarded me with questions as to why I seemed eager and excitement to go for my appointment.Everyone here, including the really insane ones, hated that time of the week, and so it would become suspicious if Lina Barry or anyone else realized that I was beginning to look forward to it.I walked to the nurse, ready to hear that it was time for my doctor’s appointment. I knew it was time anyway; I had been waiting for this moment since I woke up today.“Come with me,” she responded.“What for?” I asked her.This wasn’t the regular statement that she would make when she came to call me for my doctor’s appointment, so
MARKI didn’t think that trying to get a new secretary could be this difficult. In the last two hours, I couldn’t even find any of the candidates I could stand.“Are there no competent people in this city?” I asked in exasperation.The day was almost coming to a close, and I still didn’t get anyone suitable that would resume the next day and continue from where my former secretary stopped.I called the hiring department again.“I have had enough for one day,” I said, rubbing my temple with my thumb as I began to feel the beginning of a migraine. “More than ten candidates and not a single one came close,” I added.“We are sorry about that, Mr. Mark,” she responded.“Maybe tomorrow, but for today, I can’t stand another incompetent human being,” I added.“Alright, Mr. Mark. We will ensure that we send better candidates tomorrow,” she said.“I would love that,” I responded.“Do have a lovely evening, Mr. Mark,” she said before I ended the call.“Good heavens!” I exclaimed in total exhaust
ALEXAGoing to confront Mark made me even more livid than I had ever been, and as I made my way back to my apartment, the anger in me threatened to explode.I didn’t think I had ever meant it before when I said that I didn’t want to see or speak to Mark Ronaldo ever again, but right now, I meant it.He might try to reach out again like he always did; I was certain of that.“But I won’t allow that to happen anymore,” I told myself firmly. “I am not going to be a fool to him or anyone anymore,” I added.I should have been firmer in cutting him off after he signed the divorce papers, but instead, I had entertained every bit of him, including the times he had hurt and disappointed me greatly.How could I have even had sex with the same man who left me for my stepsister, Ivy, and even cheated on me with her while we were married, and meanwhile, he was treating me poorly the entire time?How could I have done that?The more I thought about it, the more pained and upset I became, and I could
MARKI only became less worried when I got a call from the cop this morning.“Mr. Mark, she is back to her apartment,” he had told me.I had sighed with deep relief because all night, I was worried sick about Alexa. Even after Vector left, I tried to rest a little, but I just couldn’t.What if Alexa had gone somewhere and hurt herself?What if Donald Shell had gotten to her again?Different thoughts flew through my mind all night, almost making me lose my mind, so much so that by morning, I knew that if I didn’t get dressed and come to my company, I was going to lose it completely.I could be at my company and still be searching for Alexa, and if by mid morning I didn’t find her, I would take things to a more serious extent, but then the cop had called, relieving me of that.“How is she? Does she look fine?” I asked him.“She looks the same, sir,” he responded.I wasn’t surprised by his response because I knew that Alexa would still be hurting from everything that she had gone through
ALEXAI woke up feeling better than I had been the previous day, but Gina wasn’t in bed, and when I turned around, she was getting dressed for work.“Good morning,” she greeted. “Good morning, Gina,” I said, rising from the bed. “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to sleep this late,” I apologized.“You were tossing and turning all night,” Gina said.She was still sounding a little harsh, as though she still didn’t want me to be here, but I pushed that out of my mind. She was like that when I arrived last night, and even till when we slept off, and it didn’t make me leave, so it wouldn’t start making me feel bad, and besides, I would have to leave this morning anyway. I was certain that my secretary would have gotten to my apartment already.However, Gina’s statement made me recall how terrible last night had been.I had thought that being with someone else would keep me from experiencing the dreams, but I was wrong.I had the nightmare again.Donald Shell came taunting me, and it was even w
