ALEXA

Regardless of how I felt, I decided to go for the welcome dinner. I just couldn’t bail out now. As long as I was going in my car and not dependent on anyone, I felt a little better.

Besides, I could easily leave if I felt any form of discomfort, or if Donald tried anything that would make me uncomfortable.

“Hi, Alexa,” Donald greeted the moment I parked my car and stepped out of the car.

He was right there, holding a bouquet of flowers again.

I was a little shocked because I didn’t see hi

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Never Good Enough

    IVYSince I got out of the mental home, this was the second place I felt safe. However, this felt better than Lionel’s fiancée’s apartment because even though I knew that this wasn’t a permanent arrangement, I wouldn’t have to worry about leaving right away.And that was all I could ask for at the moment.Gloria was being a good host already.She stayed completely out of my way. Sometimes, it was almost as though she didn’t live here. She already told me the days the housekeepers came in to do some cleaning, so I made sure to stay out of the way.Other than that, she gave me access to have whatever I wanted as she provided nearly everything in the house.There was nothing I lacked.It wasn’t like living with Alexa who didn’t give a damn about my welfare and threatened me every passing day about leaving or exposing me.Here was safe.More than that, my window faced the busy city of Paris, giving me the opportunity to gaze at the beauty of the city day and night. Some days, I wished tha

    ALEXAI squeezed my eyes shut before the first drop of tears could escape my eyes. Instead of letting them out, I allowed them to burn every fiber of my being.Gosh, I was broken beyond words.The sight of Mark Ronaldo walking out of my house, his shoulders tight after hearing that I didn’t want to see him again was glued to my memory, and I allowed it to linger there.As much as I hated to see him go, especially with how beautiful things had been between us in the last few days, but once again, I was reminded that Mark Ronaldo was not the man for me.He had never been.Ivy was right.From the very beginning that I fell madly and helplessly in love with him, Mark Ronaldo had never been mine, but over and over again, I had allowed the love I had for him to cloud my senses. If I had been sensible enough and able to control my emotions, I would never have allowed myself get into any entanglement with Mark.I would have left him at that hospital to die.Yes, the doctor played his part, bu

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Stinging Betrayal

    ALEXAMy hand connected with Mark’s cheek before I could control myself. The age inside of me knew no bound, and seeing Mark the moment I was driven in didn’t make me feel any better.“Stop the car right in front of Mark,” I had instructed the cop driving me.And he had obeyed.Even before I slapped Mark, my chest was already hurting me so badly that I could barely breathe.Mark was stunned to his bones, and embarrassed as well because we were right in the presence of the cops.They had seen me hit him.Physical violence had never been my thing, but the sting of pain and betrayal consumed me.Maybe I shouldn’t have believed Mona. I had no right to believe her; she was a stranger to me as far as I was concerned, but I found myself believing her. She wouldn't have said it if it wasn’t true.How she got to know wasn't a question I could answer for myself, and I didn’t even try to answer it, especially with the way I was feeling.“What has gotten over you?” Mark asked me, still stunned an

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Her Return

    MARKGetting myself some new clothes didn’t take as long as I thought it would. I only had to pick one or two clothes that I could change with, knowing that I wouldn’t be living with Alexa forever.I would have to return to work the very next day, which also meant that I would have to deal with Mona being in my house.I still couldn’t stop thinking about Vector being engaged.“We will be having the wedding really soon because we don’t want a prolonged time to prepare. We just want something small and intimate, but of course, I would have told you about it before we even started planning,” Vector had said.A tinge of jealousy had washed through me even though I later became happy for Vector.Vector and I had been friends for years now, and thinking about it now, I had always had everything more than Vector, and some things before he did.For example, Vector’s family wasn’t as wealthy as mine. He didn’t inherit any company from anyone, unlike me.Not that they were poor, but Vector had

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   What I Never Knew

    ALEXA“What are you doing here?” I asked Mona.Those were the first words that came out of my mouth. Seeing her came as a shock to me even though I knew already that this was a public space.“What else do people do here?” Mona asked me.The sinister smile was very much there.Seeing Mona reminded me of all the hurt that she had caused me, and I realized instantly that I didn’t want to indulge her. I shouldn’t have even said anything to begin with. I should have completely ignored her.“You know what, I can’t do this with you,” I said and turned to walk away, but Mona followed me.Somehow, it seemed as though we were the only ones left in the baby store. I knew I caught sight of other shoppers, but my eyes couldn’t seem to find them anymore.“I hear you are pregnant,” Mona said.I groaned internally.Of course, she would have heard; everyone in the city had heard, but it still made me very uncomfortable. Mona never lived in Paris, and if not for instances like this, we would never have

    MARK“Mona, what are you doing here?” I asked Mona, not bothered by how harsh I sounded. Mona looked slightly crestfallen.“I don’t know you to be hostile, Mark,” she responded.“How did you even find my house?” I asked her.“You are quite popular in this city, Mark, so finding out where you stay
