I fell in love way before we made that trip to Toronto, but I only realized it when we were there,” I added.“Wasn’t that where you both had sex the first time?” Noelle asked me sarcastically.I didn’t like the tone she used in asking the question.“What has that got to do with anything?” I asked Noelle in return.“All these years, you neglected Alexa and treated her poorly, but the moment you got the chance to get in between her legs, you suddenly think you are in love with her?” Mona asked me.Good gracious!“Are you also in love with Mona too?” Noelle questioned me further.“Noelle, please, stop,” I begged her tiredly.I couldn’t risk Noelle going to Alexa like this. I would be completely fucked.“I am not going to stop, you fucking piece of shit!” Noelle barked at me.With the way she was raising her voice, I was worried that Alexa might hear her because I did believe when she said that Alexa wasn’t
MARKNoelle was Alexa’s best friend and the one person I knew had always had Alexa’s back. For years, she fought against Alexa being with me.If it wasn’t that Alexa needed my protection and Noelle wouldn’t be available to give it, she would never have come to me.So, opening up to Noelle about Mona being pregnant for me was really tricky.What if Alexa was standing right there and listening to her? What is they were both waiting for a reason for Alexa not to want to be with me forever? What if Alexa was looking for something to use against me to keep the baby away from me?I didn’t know much about the legal proceedings and Brent was currently unavailable, but I strongly believed that if Alexa presented this to the court, they would grant her whatever she desired. A man getting two women pregnant while not being married to either of them wasn’t something that the court would take lightly.Alexa would win even without fighting.But then again, how long would I be able to keep this a se
MARK“We look forward to kickstarting the contract with you, Mark Ronaldo,” the head of the company told me as we exchanged handshakes.I nodded.“I do too,” I responded.After signing the contract, we had had to sit down for another two hours to discuss on the next step to take, which was contrary to what I had expected.At first, it had seemed like we were just going to talk about it for five minutes, and then it stretched to thirty minutes, and then to one hour. I kept checking my watch, and when I saw that it was already two hours, I knew that I couldn’t keep staying here.I needed to leave.The flight back was only two hours and some minutes, and if I made it back right now, I would get to Paris before nightfall.Hopefully, I would be able to see Alexa. By then, she might have felt less upset with me.“Expect us Monday morning in your office, okay?” He said. “And after that, you already know that since you won’t be coming here, and we will have to be flying down to Paris every no
ALEXA“Mona is pregnant,” I repeated for the umpteenth time when Noelle and I got to my living room.I couldn’t stop thinking about it.My heart was beating really fast.“Obviously,” Noelle said, acting calm.I sat down, but I just couldn’t get it off my chest. There was only one question in both our minds that we hadn’t asked each other.I knew this because I had known Noelle for years now.Eventually, I decided to ask.I couldn’t hold back any longer. Eventually, we would have to talk about it.“Who is she pregnant for?” I asked Noelle.Noelle looked away.She was also thinking the same thing I was thinking, but I was too scared to voice it out, or maybe she was as well.“Mark told me before the new year that he broke up with her, but I didn’t ask him for how long. They were literally together during the fair, which was just a few weeks ago,” I narrated, my heartbeat racing very fast.As I spoke, my head was doing all the calculations, and so was Noelle.I didn’t see any bump on Mon
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
MARK“Don’t think that I don’t know my rights, Brent, or whatever it is that you are called,” Mr. Devon told Brent with a snarl.He was becoming more and more desperate, but Brent was ready for him.I would have been too weak and devastated to do anything right now. “No one is arguing about that,
MARK“I bet you don’t, huh?” Mr. Donald asked further, sneering.Of course, I remembered vividly; only recently anyway.I had driven to a hotel where I suspected Ivy had been because that was the first time I had suspected her of something. I heard her talking about it on the phone, and so I had fo
ALEXA“Are you sure?” I asked my secretary.My heart was thumping already.“What’s wrong?” Mark asked worriedly.He hastily kept the breakfast he was holding aside and came closer to me.“Yes, Miss Alexa,” she responded over the phone. “I am staring at it right now,” she added.“This early?” I aske
MARKIt was Brent who called, so I had to hurriedly go to him, and I wouldn’t have gone because the situation at hand with Alexa, but Brent said that it was very crucial.He was headed to my company, and so I had no choice but to be there as well.However, on my way to my company, I hastily called
