ALEXA

Finally, the dinner that seemed to be stretching for so long ended, much to my relief.

“Alexa, honey, do you want to maybe join me in clearing the table?” Clara asked, getting back to her acting.

She had been quiet for long, and that was majorly because the conversation had shifted from false pretenses and silly compliments to business talk.

But she would not fool me with any of her acting.

“That’s the job of the maids,” I stated as we all got up. “Didn’t they set the table?” I asked her.

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Only In Paper

    ALEXA“Congratulations, Mr. Mark,” Shirley and Reyna sang to Mark who merely smiled tightly and nodded in acknowledgment.He wasn’t happy.Well, that would make two of us.They turned to me and said, “Congratulations, Mrs. Alexa.”And that made my heart beat instantly because it stuck to me.Mrs. Alexa.If the called the full name, it would be Mrs. Alexa Mark Ronaldo. Well, until the court papers, I wouldn’t be referred to as that. However, the sound of that tasted really bitter on my tongue, and I already knew that I wanted nothing to do with that name.“Thank you, Shirley and Reyna,” I responded with a forced smile.I didn’t feel like being here, and thankfully, the damn wedding was over and I could leave. If Reyna and Shirley had questions, they had decided against it already.If they were disappointed by how I appeared for my own wedding, they didn’t show any signs of it, which was a good thing because they should know that they didn’t have any right to the choices that I make.Af

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Just a Guest As Well

    IVYJack returned an hour later and made us some soup from what he got while hunting. We all ate in silence and I didn’t bother with Lina Barry’s presence.Jack was already used to being quiet, and so he pretended as though he couldn’t see the tension between us.I couldn’t find the phone Jack used in communicating with Drew. What Jack didn’t know was that I had tried several times to look for it but I just couldn’t find it. It was as though he kept it somewhere in this cabin that I couldn’t reach.But where?The cabin was a small one. Was it possible that Jack would have hidden a phone in this cabin and I would not be able to find it?Or did he always take it out with him whenever he left the cabin?This left me confused and frustrated at the same time.Since Grace systematically kicked me out of her house, I had been unable to get access to any cell phone, and it would really be useful to me at this time.After the meal, we were quiet for some time and the air grew thicker. Eventual

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Crispy Vow

    ALEXAI stood and stared at everyone and no one in particular. Just as I had wanted, only four people aside from Mark and the priest were in the church.Just the way I wanted it.But even though I wasn’t staring at anyone in particular, I knew that all eyes were on me. They turned to look at me the moment I appeared on the door.And I could see their shock.Yes, I chose to pick one of the dresses in my wardrobe that still fitted. As a matter of fact, I had chosen one of the dresses I had worn before even though I had a few new dresses, deliberately ditching the two wedding dresses.At this very moment, they were still lying on my bed, staring at the roof and wondering why on earth I hadn’t taken any of them.Everyone in the church, including the priest, were wondering why I had appeared as a guest. Even Reyna and Shirley were more dressed than I was.They were coming for my wedding, so they had put in extra effort to look beautiful, including Noelle. Gosh, Mark looked radiantly handso

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Where Is The Bride?

    MARK“Then, that is all I need to hear,” he said with a smile. “The court is going to also issue you a certificate, containing every legal proceeding, but that will be handled by your lawyer. This is all we offer here,” he added.“I know that,” I responded.Brent would have that sorted out as soon as he got back. And why the heck wasn’t he back anyway?“Good,” the priest said with a nod.“Are we starting now?” I asked him.The only question in my head was whether Alexa had arrived yet. I had thought that he had sent for me because he wanted to have a lengthy discussion with me even though it was almost nine already.“In a minute or two,” he responded.“Alright then, I will just wait in the church for you,” I said, desperate to find out if Alexa had arrived or not.“Of course, Mr. Mark,” he said.I got up and walked out of his office.As I feared, Alexa still hadn’t shown up.Noelle was speaking to Shirley by the entrance door and Vector was talking to someone on the phone in another c

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Are You Ready To Get Married?

    MARK“Mr. Mark, good morning,” Reyna greeted with a smile.She was oblivious to the rising tension in our midst, and that was a very good thing because we needed something or someone that would make the atmosphere better.This was even far from what a wedding was supposed to look like. The hostility already building in the air made it worse.As a man of my status in Paris, I had attended a lot of prestigious wedding. It was really embarrassing to me and to the Ronaldo family that this was how I was getting married...for the second time, damn it.No press, all the men that mattered in the city was absent, no wedding reception, no honeymoon...absolutely nothing!All thanks to Alexa, and with how displeased I was right now, I didn’t think I would be able to forgive Alexa for making me lose something that mattered most to me.“Reyna, how are you?” I asked her, shaking the thought off my head so that I wouldn’t appear as upset as I was getting.“Very well, sir, and congratulations on your

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Savior Of The Moment

    MARKVector and I arrived at the church early enough. Noelle, Shirley, and Reyna were already there and there were a few flowers to adorn it.“This church is too freaking small,” I said under my breath to Vector as we made our way into the church to meet with the women. “I know it is what Alexa wanted. I wouldn’t have felt bad about it if there would have been a reception afterwards,” I added.I could barely control the anger that was rising inside my chest.“Remember what we talked about, Mark,” Vector said.No, I hadn’t forgotten about it, but it didn’t make me feel any better.“I know, Vector, but this is a wedding, and it is not something I am going to do after now,” I grumbled and Vector understood what I was talking about.It wasn’t as though it was a birthday celebration that could be done better the next year. For the second time, I was getting married, but somehow, I just couldn’t get what I wanted.“Would you rather have a lavish wedding and not have Alexa at all?” Vector as

    MARK“We lived by your money, Mark. We were in love, and I took care of Oscar with your money,” Ivy continued with confidence. It was as though something had been let loose in her and she couldn’t hold herself back. She continued talking without control and care as to whether or not her words were

    ALEXAI came out from the restroom where I had to hurry to and found Donald waiting patiently by the lobby.“Are you okay?” He asked gently.“Yes, I am,” I responded. “I hope I didn’t stay long in there and kept you waiting in the process,” I said, watching Donald.But his expression was warm and c
