로그인IVYDrew stayed longer than I expected because he did mention that he had something to do and he just came to drop off those things for me.Jack also returned from wherever he had gone, and then he went on to make that liquid he took the day before. Since Drew already brought me some things, he wasn’t worried about what I would eat, and I didn’t bother him much about it.“I never knew you cared this much about me, Jack,” I teased him after we were all done eating and Drew still lingered. “You told Drew to send me some things while pretending like you didn’t care and never wanted me here,” I added with a grin.But Jack’s jaw tightened with annoyance.“Don’t push it, Ivy,” he warned sternly.“Ew, I was just kidding,” I said, disappointed that he couldn’t even take a joke.“Jack doesn’t do jokes,” Drew chipped in lightly.Well, it was a good thing that he wasn’t anything like Jack.For the few hours that Drew and I had spent together now, I came to realize that he wasn’t like his father,
MARKThat wasn’t what I was expecting to hear. It wasn’t even the reason I came.After the news, I had hurried out immediately, and just when I was halfway, with Cannon Dexter driving me, of course, Reyna had called me.“What is it?” I had asked her, almost snapping at her.Reyna knew why I needed to leave, and even Vector understood, only that he couldn’t come with me and I didn’t even need him to, and so I couldn’t understand why she was calling me back some minutes later.“I just got a text from Shirley, sir,” Reyna had told me.And that my heartbeat increased rapidly.“What did it say?” I had asked her.“She is with Miss Alexa right now, but I think you need to get there as fast as you can,” Reyna had informed me before I ended the call.Cannon Dexter was already going very fast, but I told him to go faster, not bothering about speed limit and being pulled over for driving too fast.The news clearly mentioned Alexa in conjunction to Ivy being alive. Why were the blogs asking Alexa
ALEXAHis warning made me deeply afraid, but there was only one answer that I could give. My fear was that he might think that I was lying to him.I would never forgive myself if Noelle was hurt because of me.She didn’t deserve to be dragged into this.“Listen, I don’t know where Ivy is. She left on the eve of New Year,” I answered carefully.“Aha...so, you are finally confirming that she was indeed at yours, right?” He asked me icily.“I thought you weren’t doctor Lionel?” I asked suspiciously.The voice was still very different, but Doctor Lionel was the only one who confronted me about Ivy being here. He was the only one who knew her and felt that she wasn’t dead. He was the only one who was convinced that she was here at my house even though I argued otherwise.“How many times do you want me to repeat myself?” He asked me angrily. “You promised not to be stubborn, but you are really pissing me the hell off,” he snapped.“I am sorry,” I hastily apologized.The only reason I was ap
ALEXA“Who is this?” I asked, my heart racing very fast.Noelle didn’t have a brother, else I would have thought that he was the one calling me, and the voice didn’t sound anything like Noelle’s father’s voice.Besides, Noelle wasn’t the kind of person that gave people her phone.Why was he calling?“You are asking the wrong question, Alexa,” he said icily.I swallowed hard.Shirley was staring at me with worry and concern, but I couldn’t stop just to talk to her. I didn’t even know what was going on yet, but I was already having the odd feeling that it wasn’t good.“What are you doing with Noelle’s phone?” I asked.“Another wrong question, Alexa,” he responded.He called my name with familiarity, as though he had known me way before now, but for the life of me, I wasn’t sure that I had ever heard the voice before. It wasn’t even remotely familiar.“Where is Noelle?” I pushed further.I was already acting frantic, and that was because my heart was filled with terror. Shirley took her
ALEXAAfter Mark left, I decided to take a nap, and much to my surprise, I slept for much longer than expected. Judging by how I was feeling, I had thought that I would be too restless to even close my eyes, but the moment I lay on my bed, I fell asleep.Well, it had to do with the pregnancy, because I had realized lately that it was always wearing me out quickly. Sometimes, I got tired for no reason, and sleepy most times as well.And I still would have been sleeping if Lora hadn’t knocked on my door.“Miss Alexa, good afternoon,” she greeted after I asked her to come into my room. “I am sorry I interrupted your rest,” she added.“It’s fine, Lora. I have been sleeping for a bit anyway,” I told her, thinking that she was coming to talk to me about lunch.I was already having the craving for something.Aside from the fatigue, drowsiness, and of course, horniness which I had tried to push aside since Mark and I fought, I was also feeling hungry every hour. It seemed as though I wanted
MARKAlexa’s words struck deep into my bones, and it wasn’t just about the words; it was the deep pain and bitterness that I felt in her voice.And that broke me.As I drove back to the company, I began to wish that there was something I could do to reverse the past, but how could I?When I got to my company, Vector was already waiting for me in my office, and Reyna followed me in.“Reyna, what is it?” I asked her dully as I sank into my chair.“I wanted to inform you about the list of vendors and itinerary put down for the wedding. I will need you to make some confirmations before I proceed,” Reyna rambled on, without realizing the mood that I was in.“Those won’t be necessary any longer, Reyna,” I told her, much to her confusion.Vector was surprised.He hadn’t said anything since I walked in and that was because he was trying to give Reyna and me the space to talk.“Why not, sir?” Reyna asked me. “Does Miss Alexa have a different plan?” She questioned almost immediately.Reyna knew
ALEXA“Shall we go downstairs?” My dad asked me right after his statement about Clara.He didn’t even give me the time to process what he just said or ask to know exactly what he meant by that statement.“We are not done talking, dad,” I reminded him.“I know, Alexa, but it is wrong to keep a guest
ALEXA“He wants a dinner date with my dad,” I found myself complaining to Noelle the moment I got back to my office.Of course, Noelle didn’t share my worry, and I began to wonder why on earth I had told her.She was smiling.“This isn’t funny, Noelle,” I chided her.“Why not?” Noelle asked.“How i
ALEXAI had already decided that since the new office building had been successfully rented and decorated, I wanted us to move everything there so that we would have bigger space.“I am so happy!” My secretary bubbled with excitement. “This feels like a dream, because you started in less than half
MARK“Mark, can we talk?” Mr. Devon asked me after knocking and I asked for the door to be opened.I wasn’t really thinking when I did. If I had known that he was the one, I probably would not have let him come in. I had just returned from meeting up with Alexa which didn’t turn out well anyway, an
