MARK

My anger at seeing Donald increased by a hundred degrees. I wanted to ask what he was doing here, but I remembered that he now held a significant position in Alexa’s life, much to my annoyance.

As soon as he got to us, he exchanged a harmless and friendly hug with Noelle, the same person who was being hostile to me a second ago.

“What are you doing here?” Donald asked me the exact question I wanted to ask him, making me more upset.

Again, he was beating me to the game, but I decided not to

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   In My Mind

    MARKSince Vector told me about seeing Alexa, I hadn’t been at rest. Against the wishes of my heart, my eyes kept wandering around, hoping to catch a glimpse of Alexa somewhere around.“Mark!” Mona called, drawing my attention back to her.“Huh?” I asked dumbly.“You haven’t heard a word of what I said,” she said.And she wasn’t lying.Mona had almost become invincible to me and I was really struggling to pay attention. It made me wish now that she had other friends so that she would give me some space. Vector had walked away with the excuse of wanting to explore after Mona returned with drinks, and I knew that he didn’t want an awkward situation with her, so he would rather just leave.“What were you saying?” I asked Mona even though I wasn’t particularly interested in anything she might have to say.“I was talking about moving in together,” Mona said.My eyes widened in shock.“Hell no!” I said instantly and vehemently, so much so that it made Mona sad. “What I mean is that it is t

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Never Leaving His Enemy

    ALEXATaking my eyes away from Marcus and Mona, who didn’t see me was quite easy, but taking it off my mind was completely impossible.Noelle and Shirley didn’t understand why I had to ask us to move to another corner. They hadn’t seen them too, and so I had to act before they did.I didn’t want to catch sight of Mark and his lover acting all loved all in the fair every single time I turned.“This is better,” I told Noelle and Shirley when we found a better spot.“It’s coming out nicely,” Noelle said gleefully.“And hopefully, it is going to be a fantastic day,” Shirley added.They were so optimistic that I didn’t have a choice other than to force a smile and nod in agreement. All I wanted was for something good to come out of today’s fair so that I could raise some money for the trip I wanted to make.That was all I was interested in.“Can I get you something to drink?” Noelle asked me. I was going to say that I wasn’t in the mood to have anything, and Noelle noticed it, so before

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Not Today

    MARKThe fair was almost in full swing now and I was feeling better about it. “This is the first time I am attending a fair, Mark,” Mona told me.Since we arrived about thirty minutes ago, she had been clinging to my side, not wanting to let go, and because I understood that she was new to this because she had spent almost all her life in Toronto, I didn’t say anything about her clinginess.Mona had spent the night with me. We had had sex. This morning, we both got dressed and came here together.My team was already making sure everything was in place so I could actually enjoy the fair, and I was allowing myself to.“Do you like what you see?” I asked Mona even though I could already guess the answer.“Yes, I do!” Mona said. “And I think I am going to have some fun!” She added.“I believe so too,” I said.Soon enough, other people started arriving. I knew that in no time, the whole place would be crowded by most of Paris, but it would be fun and beautiful; I didn’t have any doubts ab

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Fears

    ALEXAThe D-day was here!“How do you feel already?” Noelle asked me as we got prepared to leave for the event. Shirley was assisting the handymen to get everything ready into the van we would be using for transportation.“Do you want the honest truth or just an answer?” I asked Noelle.“Of course, the honest truth,” Noelle answered.“I am nervous,” I admitted.Noelle came closer to me and held my hands in hers.“I am not going to ask you not to be because it is normal to feel that way, Alexa. Today is a very big day,” Noelle said deeply. “What I don’t want you to do is worry your head about how it is going to go,” she added, as though she could ready my thoughts.“I am worried too, Noelle,” I revealed.“Everything is going to be fine,” Noelle tried to assure me.“And what if it doesn’t?” I asked her.I couldn’t stop thinking of the possibility of that. For a while now, things hadn’t been going on well for me. It was almost impossible for me to be optimistic with all that had been h

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Her Firm Belief

    ALEXAI tossed and turned, needing to drink something, but I wasn’t craving water. I wanted something like milk or juice, so I got up from the bed and proceeded downstairs.A lot of things were running through my mind, making it difficult for me to find sleep.There was the case of Ivy’s death.She was never a good stepsister to me and we never got along well. There was never a time that we were cool with each other, but hearing that Ivy was dead shook me more than I ever thought.I didn’t like Ivy, but I never would have wanted her dead.And then the more important issue that was giving me sleepless nights as the cost of travelling and getting stuff for my baby.The fact that I couldn’t afford them broke my heart.Everything was so bad now financially.As I got closer to the kitchen, I heard Noelle’s voice; she was obviously talking to someone on the phone, and my first instinct was that she was communicating with Nelson. They talked often.I smiled.Now, I wasn’t overly jealous of t

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Eve

    MARK“After going through everything, I can now conclusively say that we are ready for the fair,” I said to the entire team that had been working on the project for weeks.They were all relieved.It had been a hectic couple of days. Everyone was stretched to their limit, but they knew what lay ahead already. In my company and at a time like this, they already knew what to expect.“Tomorrow is the fair, as we all know,” I added. “We are all supposed to bring our A-game into this. There will not be an award or crowning of any company, but we all know and understand what this means,” continued.They nodded in agreement.“We are all going to close now. You are advised to go home, have a good rest, and prepare for a great day tomorrow, and if this goes well, every one of you is definitely getting a raise,” I told them.They were pleased to hear that and I meant it.“That will be all for now,” I finished.“Thank you, Mr. Mark,” some of them said.“Have a great night, Mr. Mark Ronaldo,” othe

I hadn’t seen or heard anything about him in the blog, and if the news didn’t come from Mr. Devon, I would have doubted it.Donald Shell is a big name, or was a big name, so why would he be back in Paris and no one was talking about it?
