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 calm, and it somehow made me feel relaxed in his presence.I still couldn’t place it, but there was definitely something about Donald that made me relaxed and comfortable in his presence one minute, and a completely opposite feeling the next. I haven’t been able to explain why I feel that way, but the feeling is definitely there.“No, you didn’t,” he said. “And it is important for women to get as much time as it pleases them when using the ladies. I am just glad that you could use their services here,” Donald added.“Thank you for always understanding,” I told him and meant it.“I promised you that I would always be here, and I meant it,” Donald stated. “I am not a man that throws words aroun
MARKThe moment my eyes fell on Alexa and Donald, my blood boiled.With anger.With jealousy.With disgust.And I didn’t miss the sneering look on Donald’s face.For a second, Alexa slowed down and our eyes met, but it was a moment that I recognized as battle. She looked away as Donald led her into the station hand in hand.That was all I needed to know that they were officially seeing each other.“So Alexa left me for him?” I asked myself, my blood boiling in annoyance.Also, I knew that she was here to officially file the case and the last thing I wanted was to remain standing like a log while they paraded themselves as a pair. I proceeded to leave, but I heard Donald’s voice.“Mark,” he called.I turned and faced Donald with the meanest and coldest glare that I could ever muster and he retaliated with his own glare.I wanted to wipe off the smirk on his face.“You have the look of a sore loser,” he sneered.“And where is Alexa? Did she let you come back to talk me to? Because a whi
ALEXADonald gracefully opened the car door and I entered into his car, but I wasn’t feeling entirely comfortable.Donald was sweet and charming, and if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have become this rapidly successful, which made me feel as though I owed him in a way, but the closer he got, the deeper I felt that he wanted more.I had known him for a while now, and he had been completely sweet and gentlemanly, treating me in ways that no man had ever treated me, but I still wasn’t attracted to him. More than that, I didn’t want to have any romantic relationship with anyone for now.Or even any time soon.“Are you okay?” Donald asked as we pulled into the main road.He was using his convoy today.“Yes, I am,” I lied.I was having the feeling that he would profess his love any moment from now, and it made me anxious, majorly because I didn’t know what my response would be. I didn’t want to be with Donald intimately, but then again, turning him down would make me feel like I was being u
ALEXA“What do you say, Noelle?” I asked Noelle, still breathing heavily.“Alexa, are you sure?” She asked me.“Yes, I am,” I responded. “This tour I went with the pop-star has elevated my business and it will be too much for me. There is no way I will be able to handle a thousand clients at once,” I said.“A thousand clients?” Noelle asked in astonishment.“That’s the request I currently have, Noelle, and I have a feeling that there will be more to come. I want to expand my business and make it global, Noelle, but I cannot do that alone,” I stated. “There is so much to be done and my assistant and I will not be able to handle it on my own,” I added.I was pleading with my eyes for Noelle not to turn me down.“But why me?” Noelle asked. “There are so many people that are looking for business investments like this one, and they will be perfect for the job,” Noelle said.She was sounding almost breathlessly as well.“This business means the world to me, Noelle. I cannot trust anyone els
ALEXAI went to my store that morning and Noelle promised to stop by later. Meanwhile, I had already made an appointment with the detective who advised that the earlier I filed the case, the better.Ever since I heard the news of Oscar’s death and how Mark had ordered for his release, I had been having a torrent of emotions. The urge to see him which I had earlier had vanished completely.“But why was he allowed to release Oscar,” I had asked the detective.“Because he has the power and influence, and also, you didn’t file any case, so we couldn’t have been able to hold him back,” the detective had explained. “Miss Alexa, there is so much that you need to know about, but this isn’t a phone conversation. I will strongly advise that you come to the station and file the case as soon as possible, otherwise, he might just get away with another crime,” he had added deeply.And I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Apparently, Mark was more dangerous as I thought, and the more things were being
MARKNo matter how hurt and disappointed I was with Vector for what he did, I knew that I still needed to see him.It was worse going out to public places now, because of the stares I now got, which was as a result of the news that Ivy spread about me. I would have sent a message to debunk it, and even recruit Doctor Jones to disclaim it, since everyone knew that he was my doctor, but then again, that wasn’t the biggest problem in my life right now.Alexa was back in Paris, and she would definitely be filing that case against me, and with Oscar murdered, it would get messier.So I needed to focus on the case, and I needed to see Vector.I arrived at the station and waited for Vector to be brought into the interrogation room. The moment he was brought, we stared at each other, each holding something in mind against each other.I wondered what Vector would have in mind against me when I was supposed to be the angry one. “Leave us,” I instructed the cop who brought Vector in.He had gon
