MARK

I was working in my study when I heard a subtle knock on the door. I groaned in annoyance, because I really did not like anyone to be interrupting me while I worked.

This was another occasion where I missed having Alexa around. When she still lived here, she knew that I hated to be disturbed when working, even though I never mentioned it outright to her, so she often ensured that no one came close to my study. Instead, she mostly handled everything until I was done and out.

It wasn’t just this part; the food, routine, coffee, which she knew just how to prepare it according to the way I liked it, and of course, picking out my outfit without being asked. Then, I usually felt like she was overplaying her part, especially for a woman whom I woke up from coma only to discover that she had become my wife.

“How the hell did it happen?” I had asked when I was left with just Ivy and her mother before I was moved out of the hospital. “You should have been my wife and not her, so what hap

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   His Answer

    ALEXAAfter I managed to get Clara to leave, I sat back close to my dad and watched him sleep. He was fragile and weak, but he was resting well.Thankfully, it wasn’t very severe.I yawned tiredly, and my stomach rumbled with hunger, and I realized that I hadn’t had something to eat the whole day.“I should get some food from the cafeteria,” I said to myself.It shouldn’t be more than ten minutes, and I was certain that my dad wouldn’t be up before I got back because I didn’t even want to leave his side. If I wasn’t this hungry, I wouldn’t have stepped away from him for a second. Now that I had been forced to take the trip to Toronto, I might as well spend the time I had with him now.Speaking of Toronto, I called Eva as I walked out of my dad’s suite and she picked up almost immediately.“It’s always a pleasure to get a call from you, Alexa,” Eva said with excitement.She wasn’t excited because we were friends. Rather, she was excited because of the money she would get from getting d

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   No Longer Daddy's Little Girl

    ALEXAAfter my dad fell asleep, I stayed by his bed and watched him. I had already called my secretary to inform her that I wouldn’t be coming to the office any time soon.I didn’t bother to call Noelle because we still hadn’t resolved whatever it was that caused her to leave angrily.“I hope you get well real soon, dad,” I whispered as I looked at his resting and fragile sleeping form. “You still haven’t properly walked me down the aisle and played grandpa to my kids,” I added with a low voice.Tears gathered in my eyes.These were things that we had always talked about during our father-daughter moments when I was still much younger.My dad would walk me down the aisle. It would have been himself and my mum, but she passed on too early, and then, when I started to have kids, he would be the most doting and loving grandpa anyone had ever met.Those had been our dream, but years later, we hadn’t even fulfilled any one of it. I did get married, but it was to a man who was in coma with

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Ti Match Her Energy

    MARKMy visit to the hospital came with different emotions.I was upset that Donald went ahead to officially announce their relationship. It didn’t matter to me that Mr. Silver didn’t seem interested. I couldn’t even bank on that. The man was sick, and he must have felt that that was the wrong time to make such an announcement. Besides, wasn’t he having dinner the other evening with the same Donald?I felt disrespected by Noelle’s actions, but then again, it was inconsequential to me. I didn’t have to deal with her, and so far, we had not had the chance to run into each other. Since there was nothing going on between us, I wasn’t bothered by her hostility. However, I would not tolerate being disrespected for any reason.Then, I felt excited that Alexa and I would eventually be making the trip.“It’s a business trip, Mark,” I had to remind myself, but it didn’t stop me from feeling the way I was feeling. This would be the first time I would be taking a business trip with a woman, and i

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Heartfelt Conversation

    ALEXAI wished my dad had said no, but he hadn’t, and now, I had no choice but to start preparing for a trip to Toronto with Mark Ronaldo.“You don’t look happy,” my dad said after Mark left.“Why should I be?” I asked without pretending. “Why are you unhappy?” He asked me.“You are sick, dad, and we are not sure if you are going to get discharged before the weekend, and you are ready to push me away from you, and that is not fair,” I started emotionally. “We have been apart for a while now, especially after the rift, and now that I have the opportunity to spend time with you, you are willingly pushing me away,” I added.He smiled coyly, and I wondered what I had said that could have been so funny that he had to laugh about it.“What is funny?” I asked him.“Are you sure I am the only reason you don’t want to go to Toronto?” My dad asked me.I looked away slightly, and his smile increased into an ear-to-ear grin.“What other reason could there be?” I asked him.He paused for a minute

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The New Doc

    IVYI looked at the result again and again on my bed as I had been doing for the past week, my annoyance growing.“This is a set up,” I muttered to myself.They were the same words I had been saying to myself too, and at some point, I was worried that it was going to drive me insane.But I knew exactly what I was saying.“Ivy Silver,” the nurse in charge called.I ignored her and continued to look at the paper. Annoyance had caused me to crumple the paper and unfold it over and over again. I wanted to rip it into shreds, but I couldn’t. I didn’t. Not that I would be penalized for tearing the result, because they had a dozen of it in their document.This was just my copy to remind me of the evil and lies that was going on.“Stop pretending like you didn’t hear me call you, Ivy,” she warned with a scolding voice, but I didn’t pay her any mind.When I arrived her recently, I did everything I ought to do. I played by the books just so that they would realize that I wasn’t crazy, but it di

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Arousing Stubbornness

    MARKAlexa was being unnecessarily stubborn and hostile, and she had made me say things that I hadn’t even meant to say.Of course, I freaking cared that she was with Donald Shell. I would have cared if he was another man, because deep down, a tiny part of me wanted Alexa, but somehow, what was supposed to be a civil conversation between two adults had spiraled into exchange of words.Right there in the hallway.Why couldn’t we just have a conversation without Alexa spewing hateful and angry words and also pushing me to say things that I didn’t mean? And now, she was turning down an offer that I managed to secure for the good of her company.“This isn’t one of those offers you turn down, Alexa,” I said, trying to make her see reasons, but it was as though every time I opened my mouth, Alexa became more infuriated.“I don’t give a damn, Mark,” she declared.Alexa and I were standing close to each other, and somehow, her feistiness was arousing me. It was crazy to be feeling this way a
