ALEXA

As much as I hated this, I had no other choice, but even walking into the boardroom again with my dad and seeing Mark Ronaldo’s face ignited the anger in me.

Especially as seeing him brought the words back to my head.

However, I had to keep my anger and bitterness aside just as I promised my dad that I would.

We spent quite a while talking in that empty office, and he did have a hard time trying to convince me, but what broke my defense was when he broke down in tears.

“This company is far gone, Alexa,” he had said, deeply sad and dejected. “It is worse than what you are even seeing, and I assure you that you cannot do it on your own, especially with your brand that you also have to run. You need someone, Alexa, and the only person I can trust that will not steal from us is Mark Ronaldo. I mean, if you don’t believe me, isn’t this empty office space enough reason for you?” He had asked me deeply.

That was when I had realized that truly, this was an office that was supposed to b

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Too Fragile

    MARK“You haven’t moved an inch since I left you here, Mark,” Vector said as he returned to the hospital reception.It had been hours since Mr. Silver went into surgery.It had been hours since Alexa declared that she didn’t want to set her eyes on me.Reyna had waited for another hour, but when she realized that Mr. Silver wasn’t going to be out of the Theater any time soon, she had had to leave.“I will be back with flowers for Mr. Silver. I just have to pick up some groceries,” she had told Vector and me.And then another hour later, Vector had excused himself.“I am famished, man,” he had said. “My stomach is rumbling, and if I don’t get something to eat, I might just be rushed into the ICU as well,” he had teased. “Are you also going to be leaving?” He had asked.“Not yet,” I had responded.Vector had left, and now, he was back and with a pack of food.“I went to your company, thinking that you might have gone to get some work done, but I was informed that you haven’t been to the

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   My Haunting Shadow

    ALEXAI might have dozed off for a few seconds, or maybe minutes after the nurse left, I wasn’t sure, but when I opened my eyes again, the aching in my head had dissipated.She did inform me that Mark was waiting with his friends to see me, and my guess was that he would be with Vector, and I had said no.I was too ashamed and embarrassed to even let Mark see me in this condition.He warned me, but I was too stubborn to listen.I should have just stuck to the deal we got with Mr. Porshia and Gregory, but I messed things up because of anger, and then I let Donald Shell fool me with his niceness and friendliness. Despite the fact that I had filed a restraining order against Mark, he still came to see me. A part of me felt that he didn’t come to gloat, but I wasn’t sure, and more than that, I was too ashamed to set eyes on him, so it was best if he just stayed away from me.“I don’t want to see anyone, especially Mark Ronaldo. Please, ensure that no one does,” I had told her, and I mean

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Unchanged Mind

    MARKAfter Vector left to speak with the hospital management, my mind drifted back to one of the worst days of my life, and my blood ran cold.Some years back, my dad had had a heart attack.Thinking back now, it dawned on me why he had had the heart attack.The company was going through some major setbacks, and he was trying everything possible to fix things. Unfortunately, he didn’t think to tell me about it. He had thought that I didn’t need to know, or that I couldn’t handle it.Until my dad’s demise, he never thought I was mature enough to handle the company.“Handling a company is not the same thing as taking care of your car, Mark,” he had said to me. “You will need a tough skin and a hard heart to swim through, and you are still too young and fragile to understand it,” he had told me.None of the words sat well with me because I had been eager to work in the company. Not that I wanted to take over the company while he was alive, but I would have appreciated working for him, bu

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   We Wait

    MARK“Is she okay?” I couldn’t help but ask, but my jaw tightened when Donald Shell asked the same question at the same time.“Is she okay?” He also asked.I glared at him, and he returned my glare.“She passed out from shock at her…the company,” the doctor managed to say.I understood his confusion at the right pronoun to use because of the recent news of Donald Shell taking over, but his information made me more upset.“And yet, you are here asking if she is okay as if you have no idea what happened to her?” I turned and asked Donald through clenched teeth.“I am only here to ensure that she is okay,” Donald retorted.Vector touched my arm to get my attention, and when I turned to him, he leaned into me and spoke in a whisper so that no one would hear what he was saying.“I don’t think you should pay any attention to Donald Shell,” Vector said to me. “It is obvious why he is here; to gloat, and seeing you riled up will only give him the satisfaction that he wants, and I don’t want t

    MARK“I know for a fact that Alexa did not sign the company off to that bastard,” I said to Vector. “I can bet my life on that. She would never do something like that,” I added.“I know that too, Mark, but right now, there is little or nothing we can do about it,” Vector said.My veins tightened with rage, and it was even more upsetting because I couldn’t do anything to Donald Shell. Alexa wasn’t making things easy for me.“I warned her about that jerk, Matty Farm, or whatever the heck his name is,” I said through clenched teeth.“Now is not the time for you to say that to her hearing, Mark,” Vector cautioned carefully.“I wasn’t going to do that,” I retorted.“Besides, she is going through something worse right now,” he said.And almost immediately, I knew that it was beyond what I just ready, and I began to wonder if there was more to what I read. I had become more enraged to even read to the end of the news. The highlight was enough for me.“What are you talking about?” I asked.“H

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Taking Over

    MARKA call from Vector woke me up, making me grumble with annoyance.“Isn’t it too early to be calling anyone?” I asked when I eventually picked up the call.I knew that if I didn’t pick up, Vector would probably continue calling, and now that he had interrupted my sleep, I wouldn’t be able to go back to it.“It’s already past seven in the morning, Mark,” Vector said.I checked my clock on my bedside table and realized that Vector was right. I must have slept off too deeply to even hear when my alarm went off, and that was because I hadn’t slept well like this in a really long time.“And usually, you should be up and getting ready to go to your company by now,” Vector added.I sat up straighter on my bed and wiped my eyes.“I own the company, Vector, and I still have the right to whatever it is that I want to do, and I can go there whenever I want,” I reminded Vector.“You and I know that you are not that kind of CEO,” Vector said.“Okay, now that you have succeeded in waking me up,
