MARK

I hadn’t expected to meet Alexa the mood with which I met her, considering how our last meeting had ended, and more so, with Noelle, her best friend and the one person I knew could not stand the sight of me.

The first time I had met Alexa was at Mr. Silver’s birthday party, fully organized by Alexa whom I wasn’t even talking to at that time. Ivy and I had recently gotten engaged, so aside from the relationship I had with Mr. Silver, it only seemed right that I attended.

I hadn’t even paid much to Alexa, because frankly, all I had wanted to do was get married to Ivy and have a good life. Her stepsister was not really a concern to me, especially as Ivy had been so bitter against her the one and only time that she had spoken about her.

“Oh gosh, I can’t stand her either; always doing the most,” Ivy had hissed and rolled her eyes in disgust.

I had thought that she was referring to her stepsister again, but when I looked, it had been someone else who was at the other corner of the li

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Finally Remembered

    IVY“Hey,” Lina Barry called.This was the third time this week she was coming to me and trying to strike a conversation but I just wasn’t paying much attention to her.“You haven’t told me what is going on, Ivy. Since the day you were supposed to have your doctor’s appointment but couldn’t because of the work you were forcefully assigned to, you haven’t been yourself,” she added extensively.I stayed quiet.“I thought you didn’t like the doctor’s appointment thing. No one here does,” she finished.“Paying for the sins of someone else isn’t exactly nicer,” I eventually responded with a snap.“I am sorry about that, Ivy,” Lina Barry said.I went back to staying quiet, but she didn’t leave.“I have just been very lonely and bored, Ivy,” Lina Barry added wistfully. “It is Sunday, and I was thinking that we could just take a stroll around the mental home and do nothing…you are the only friend I have come to have around here,” she finished.Lina Barry was sad.I was livid.That damn nurse

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Troubles Of My Own

    ALEXAI stood by my words and ensured that by the time Clara was leaving, she left without a car. She left empty-handed.I went the extra-mile by asking one of the securities in the house to search through all her belongings just to ensure that she didn’t sneak in anything into her bags. “You are going to regret this, Alexa, I promise you,” Clara had threatened when she was being escorted out of the house.She was visibly pained and humiliated, but I wasn’t moved by that. None of that could be compared to the damage that she had done since she was brought into my family.“I don’t want to see traces of her anywhere near this premises,” I told the securities, loud enough for Clara to hear. “If you ever do, you are going to be arrested for trespassing,” I had added.The moment Clara was dragged out of the premises and I was certain that she had left and she would never be coming back, something happened inside of me.I felt deep relief.It was as though Clara’s presence here was making

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Always A Way Out

    MARKAs much as I wanted to defile Brent’s words and still go ahead to see Alexa just to find out how she was doing, I couldn’t because I knew he was right.Now wasn’t the time to play around my company.Mr. Devon had already done enough damage. He had taken years to plot the takeover, and one single mistake by me could give him all he ever wanted, leaving me empty and at a loss.“Well, this is your fault, Alexa. If you hadn’t filed that restraining order, this wouldn’t be happening,” I told myself.I didn’t want to feel bad or guilty for not being there for her because I wanted to. However, Alexa Silver didn’t want to.Even at the hospital, she had firmly stated that she didn’t want me to see her.However, I would still need to know about the funeral arrangements because even her restraining order wouldn’t stop me from paying my last and final respect to Mr. Silver, a man I had known and respected for about ten years now.As Canon drove me out of my company, I called Reyna.“Is there

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Strip Her Off

    ALEXAShirley arrived a while later, just when I had just finished having breakfast.“You have access to my apartment now, so ensure that everything runs smoothly,” I told her.“I will, ma’am,” she responded.“And if there is anything I need to know, you can just call me or send me a message or an email,” I added.Shirley nodded.I noticed that she had something else bothering her that she would have liked to say, but she was hesitating.“What is it?” I asked her.“It’s nothing, Miss Alexa,” she responded.It was a lie, but I didn’t even have the courage and strength to press her for details.“Alright then,” I said.Shirley left after that and I sat back at the dining table and just allowed the heaviness and hollowness to wash over me. It was even a surprise for me that I could eat a full plate of food, or maybe it was because I was deeply famished.Clara, after recovering from the shock of my demand, had scoffed and stormed upstairs to pack her things, and I could barely wait to see

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Not The Time

    MARKReyna returned to my office to show me the schedule that she had come up with.She didn’t start working for me, but first, she needed to go through the schedules and create her own template, and I gave her time to do so.An hour later, she came back to my office and showed it to me.I couldn’t deny how impressed I was at her competence, but then again, Reyna had already proven to me that she was more than capable.“Is there anything you would like me to adjust, correct, take out, or add?” Reyna asked professionally.“Not a single thing,” I responded. “I am just going to send you a list of what I have on my table to get done for the rest of the week, and you can fix them in the schedule so that you can remind me about them when it is time,” I added.“Of course, Mr. Mark,” she answered.I thought that she would return to her desk, but she didn’t.“Is there anything else?” I asked, looking up at her.The sadness in her eyes was still very much there, and it reminded me of my own pai

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   My Home

    ALEXAA rumbling sound in my stomach forced me awake.“Am I hungry?” I asked myself, almost in disbelief.For the entire day yesterday, I wasn’t sure I had anything to eat. Heck, I was lying down in the hospital all day and grieving the passing of my dad. However, I still didn’t expect that I would be this famished.It was as though my stomach was completely empty and on fire.“When have I ever been this hungry?” I asked myself as I got out of bed.My first instinct was to get something to eat because the hungry seemed to be feasting on my system. I had thought that with everything that was going on, I wouldn’t have an appetite.Quite frankly, I didn’t even want to eat anything, but with the hunger in my stomach, I couldn’t even control it.I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth quickly, but just as I stepped out of the bathroom, Shirley called.“Good morning, Miss Alexa,” she greeted as soon as I picked up the call.“Shirley, is everything okay?” I asked because I just wanted
