ALEXA

“What?!”

I couldn’t believe what I just read.

I looked up and all the men’s eyes were on me, and they weren’t obviously playing. This wasn’t a damn prank or some silly games.

They were serious.

“My dad is handing the company over to me?” I asked in shock.

“As his rightful heir, yes,” my dad’s lawyer stated.

“What?” I exclaimed in shock. “Why would he do that?” I asked.

“Because Mr. Silver is taking an early retirement, Alexa,” one of the city’s lawyers answered.

“I still don’t understand. He just said that he is not sick, so what in God’s name is going on here?” I asked furiously.

“He doesn’t have to be sick, dying, or even dead to hand over the company to you,” another lawyer explained. “You have always been the next in line, and Mr. Silver has refused to make changes to that, so here you are,” he added.

The paper shook as my hand trembled.

This was a lot to take in, and definitely not what I was expecting. Not that I had a particular thing in mind that I was expecting follow

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Darkness

    ALEXAI didn’t think that I would be able to sleep in my apartment, but I did.There was the nightmare about Donald Shell, taunting me again, but I had woken up just when he wanted to attack me, and I didn’t sleep for the rest of the night.It had been almost morning anyway, so I didn’t bother much about going back to bed.I had stayed up until morning, trying to think about what to do with the outfits in my possession so that I could refund the clients who withdrew their contracts.Again, I didn’t want them to sue me for not refunding them; that would only create worse scandals.By morning, I was sighing with relief, and I almost felt the urge to throw myself a party for surviving the night regardless of the nightmare.I hadn’t had a choice but to sleep in my apartment, as I couldn’t show up at Gina’s apartment anymore. The cop had been changed, and so what was the worst that could happen?“Good morning, Miss Alexa?” Shirley, my secretary, greeted me as she came into my living room.

    MARK“Are you sure that you don’t want to contend that restraining order?” Vector asked me as we made our way into a restaurant.It was a little late, but I wanted to just be somewhere else that wasn’t my house.I felt that way hours ago when I became exhausted from holding interviews, and according to the plan, I should have been with Alexa right now, but she hadn’t allowed that to happen.Vector had suggested Dancing Devils after Brent left.“How dare you suggest that club to me?” I had asked Vector with unmasked anger.“What’s wrong with going there?” Vector had asked innocently. “We used to hang out there a lot, and now that he has it back, it was back to working in full swing,” he had added.But it was when Vector said the last statement that realization hit him.“Oh, I am so sorry, Mark, I didn’t think of it like that,” Vector had gone on to apologize.“Of course you didn’t,” I had responded tightly.There was no way I would find myself in the club of a man who cowardly backed o

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Mess

    IVY“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

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Termination Of Contract

    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

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Her Storm

    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
