ANMELDENMARKVector arrived at my house a few minutes after asking him to come. “Brent will be here soon,” I told him as soon as he arrived.“Why will Brent be coming here?” Vector asked me, sounding confused. “What is going on, Mark?” Vector questioned further. “You sounded like this was urgent,” he added.I hadn’t mentioned anything to Vector because in the last two days, Vector had been very busy with his own job, and also, I was busy trying to get Brent to revoke the damn restraining order.Not going to Alexa in the last two days since Noelle came to my office had been the most restraining thing I had ever had to do. It was a little easier because Noelle was still in the country, but she left today, and I would have to pick up from where she left off.And I really didn’t want another day to pass by without inserting myself in Alexa’s life whether she wanted me to or not.Thankfully, Brent had been working hard enough, and I was also ensuring that a lot of money went into it.Before now,
ALEXAShirley arrived with the last of my things from my apartment. Being that I couldn’t renew the rent, I had to let it go.I also couldn’t afford to get another place, so the only option was to move the few of my things back to the house.As Shirley arrived with the last of them, I felt the ache in my chest.“Thank you, Shirley,” I told her deeply and I meant it.“You are welcome, Miss Alexa,” she responded.I already decided to set them up in my dad’s study since it was vacant for now. Donald Shell already stole the company, so the study wasn’t in use anymore. As soon as Shirley was done, I sent the last payment to her and she received it almost immediately.“Thank you for the money,” Shirley said.“You deserve more than that, Shirley. I really thought that you would have resigned by now, but you haven’t,” I told her, and from the depth of my voice, she knew that I meant everything I was saying. “The business hasn’t closed down completely, and I still have hope,” Shirley said wi
MARKAfter hearing all that Noelle had to tell me, I had to sit down for a bit because I was weak to my toes.“Can I count on you, Mark?” Noelle asked more deeply.“I don’t know what you think of me, Noelle, but I am never going to let anything happen to my child, and Alexa, of course,” I managed to respond.Jeez, I was going to be a father!“I am going to count on you for that, Mark,” Noelle told me. “I would require one favor from you, though,” she added.“What is it?” I asked her.“Don’t tell Alexa I told you,” Noelle said. “She was really adamant about keeping it a secret from everyone, and she would never forgive me if she knew that I went behind her to say this to you,” Noelle added.I became angry all over again.That Alexa really had the intentions to never tell me that she was pregnant for me made me really upset. How could she do this to me?I could have been there for her for almost three months now, but she shut me out completely, and if things weren’t difficult for her, I
MARK“Did you even hear what I just said?” Noelle asked when she didn’t get a reaction from me.I was stupefied beyond words.Very little things made me speechless as a Ronaldo, but this was something I wasn’t expecting at all. “What did you just say?” I asked Noelle in return.She scoffed impatiently.“Alexa is pregnant,” Noelle repeated.It was obvious that she was really pissed off, and I worried that she might turn right around and walk out of my office, but I still couldn’t get over the shock of what she just said.I was more than thirty years old and never for once had I heard something like this in my entire life. I wasn’t even expecting this.“And the baby is mine?” I asked Noelle as my heart began to palpitate.“Yes, it is,” Noelle responded.And I went back to being dazed all over again.Alexa was pregnant with my child. Alexa was pregnant for me. I got Alexa pregnant.My head just kept replaying the news in different ways and every single one of them made me shocked to my
MARKBrent showed up at my office to drop off the last of my company’s documents that he had been using to work for me. Now that everything was over, he didn’t need to keep them.“It’s been a really long time since I last saw you,” I told Brent lightly, and it was true.“I have been very busy,” he responded.I didn’t doubt Brent because he was a very skilled lawyer, and as a result, everyone wanted to use him to sort out their differences.“This is the only time I could sneak out of my time to come and deliver these to you,” he said, referring to the documents.“Thank you, Brent,” I said.Without Brent, I would probably have lost my company to Mr. Devon. Now, because of the same Brent, Devon and his cohorts were now in jail, serving time for their crimes.“But this doesn’t mean that you have stopped being my company’s lawyer,” I reminded him.“Of course not, Mark, but for now, you really don’t have anything to be worried about,” he said.I nodded in agreement.Even the accountant tha
ALEXAI was already up and freshened up when I heard a knock on the door. I jumped slightly in fright as my first thought was that it was Ivy.“Who is it?” I asked.I told myself right after that I didn’t need to be afraid, but then again, the thought of just having Ivy here didn’t make me feel good at all.What if she ended up revealing this big secret I was keeping?“It’s Noelle,” Noelle responded.I released the breath I didn’t even realize that I was holding.“Come in,” I said.The door opened and Noelle walked in.“You didn’t have to knock,” I told her.Knocking had made me jumped, but I didn’t say that to Noelle.“I wanted to be sure that you were awake,” Noelle said as she came close to me. “How are you doing?” Noelle asked deeply.“Fine,” I simply responded.“I am guessing you didn’t have a good night’s rest,” Noelle said, daring me to deny it. “I know you, Alexa, so maybe you should think deeply before you think of lying to me,” she added, sounding a bit lighter.I sighed.“H
MARK“May I come in?” Reyna asked after knocking.“Of course, Reyna, you can,” I responded and Reyna walked into my office.“Is there something you need?” I asked her.“Not exactly, Mr. Mark, I only wanted to tell you that the payment has been successfully made and every man who sought a refund had
MARKI arrived at court in time for the trail, but Vector called me just before I got in.“Mark, how is it going?” He asked me as soon as I picked up.“About to begin,” I responded.“Oh, okay. I really wish I was there physically to throw in my support, Mark,” Vector said deeply.I didn’t doubt him
ALEXA“It’s a little late, ma’am,” Shirley told me when she saw that I was ready to leave the hospital.“I should be saying that to you, Shirley,” I responded tightly.My heart was still in chaos.“You are my secretary, and it is way past your closing time,” I added by reminding her.She stayed qui
MARKI thought that Mr. Porshia would change his mind about coming to see them after he learned the truth, but he didn’t, and so I left my company and went to meet them at the address that was sent to me.It was just a couple of minutes drive from my company, and in no time, I arrived there.Canon
