MARK

“What do you mean by that?” I asked him.

His voice sounded deep and dreadful and it sent shivers done my spine. It wasn’t really about the words in particular, but the way he said it.

“There is always more to it than meets the eye, Mark. Just be careful around him,” Mr. Gerald said and walked away.

When he walked away, I almost began to dwell on the thought, but I quickly pushed it off my thoughts. Mr. Gerald wasn’t worth it.

He was hurt and pained that his sins had caught up with him, and like every other loser, he was looking for someone to take down with him. I always laughed out loud at his words of being careful. This was the same man who wanted to take away my company.

“He is such a joker,” I said to myself.

I was almost embarrassed that I allowed his empty warning and baseless words to send shivers down my spine.

They were all angry with Mr. Devon who had chosen to be loyal and committed to the growth of my company rather than to join them in stealing it, and he wanted me

Mark is weak, like stepsis', walking away when he should stay and play thr cards on the table. He hasn't told Alexa what reveals have changed his mind. She's probably thinking that he wants to renew her as a servant.

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Nowhere To Be Seen

    MARKI paced around my living room floor, worried sick.“You are going to bore a hole through your floor, Mark,” Vector told me.“She is not at her apartment, Vector, and the cop has no idea where she could possibly have gone,” I snapped. “That was his damn job!” I bellowed in annoyance.“Not to upset you, Mark, but his specific job was to watch over her apartment and to ensure that no one came in to harass or assault her,” Vector said. “He only did the right thing by informing you of what he thought,” Vector added.I glared at him.He knew that I didn’t care for his damn opinion in moments like this, and yet, he gave it anyway, making me more upset.“Were you expecting him to follow her around?” Vector asked.“You have just upset me, Vector,” I responded.“I am sorry,” he apologized, raising his hand in surrender like he always did.“If you know you are going to be pissing me off all night, then you might as well leave,” I told Vector.“I am here because you sounded deeply worried ab

    ALEXAGina and I stared at each other for a few seconds without saying a word, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what I just saw.Noelle had always been hammering on the uncanny resemblance between Gina and the forgotten actress, but I never paid her any mind.Even when she showed me this exact picture and I had noticed that the younger girl looked like Gina, I hadn’t dwelt on it.Gina’s hair color was different now, and the picture was taken several years ago, so she didn’t look exactly like that anymore, but now, I realized that it was because Gina had changed her looks.“You are Lina Barry’s sister,” I repeated.“No, I am not,” Gina said, snapping.She hadn’t said a single word since, and the first thing she thought to do was deny something that was glaring?The way she even held the picture possessively and tightly to her chest as though it would be taken away from her confirmed my suspicion.“Yes, you are,” I responded firmly. “But how…?” I started to ask, but confusion made my

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Out Of Pity

    ALEXAGoing to my dad’s house would have been an option if he knew what was happening, but there were reasons why I didn’t want to.My dad would immediately suspect that something was wrong if he saw me there because he knew that I wouldn’t just show up there to spend the night on my own accord.I didn’t even think I wanted to go back there and have to see Clara.There was only one place my mind could think of, and I found myself right in front of her door. I intentionally did not go with my car because I didn’t think I could drive in my state of mind.I rang the doorbell and Gina opened the door.Her eyes widened with shock when she saw me.“Alexa, what are you doing here?” She asked me.“Hi, Gina,” I greeted, trying to force a smile.Gina looked around outside her apartment hastily, and fear crossed her eyes, making me wonder why she seemed so afraid to be seeing me here.“It’s just me,” I answered the question that she didn’t ask, but that didn’t seem to pacify her.“What are you d

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Day Of Doom

    MARK“I bet you don’t, huh?” Mr. Donald asked further, sneering.Of course, I remembered vividly; only recently anyway.I had driven to a hotel where I suspected Ivy had been because that was the first time I had suspected her of something. I heard her talking about it on the phone, and so I had followed her.Then when I followed her into the room, and found her with Oscar, I had stormed out in annoyance and hurt, gotten into my car, and driven out of the hotel, and then the accident had happened, leading to a coma.I didn’t remember the accident long after I came out of coma, otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen for Ivy’s lies and gotten back together with her, but I later did, and I hadn’t forgotten about it ever since.“I do,” I responded, turning to Mr. Devon again. “But what has that got to do with this?” I asked.I thought that our conversation was over, and that I already knew what I needed to know, but apparently, I was wrong.“Do you also remember that we did have a conversation

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Greedy Ingrate

    MARKBrent and I spent most of the day in the station as he tried to make a lawsuit against Mr. Devon. He was right about my secretary being caught. She didn’t even go very far enough.She was caught trying to flee the city.“Please, Mr. Mark, it wasn’t intentional,” she pleaded.She knew that she didn’t have a lawyer to get her out of this situation, and so the fear in her was palpable.“Mr. Devon lured me into it,” she continued to plead.“He didn’t force you into it, and you could have turned him down, but you were too greedy, despite the fact that I paid you well enough,” I told her.“At first, I thought it was just an affair, but much later, he started talking about taking over your company,” she confessed.I would have been shocked if I hadn’t heard this same confession from Mona, and this only went on to mean that Mr. Devon had just one pattern; lure them in with an affair that was mingled with money, gifts, and whatever things he provided for them, and when he had roped them

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Pessimistic

    ALEXAThe news had gone viral. Indeed, rumors spread faster than wildfire, and in the space of a few hours, most of our clients, especially the high-profile ones had called to withdraw their contract.“I am certain that by the end of the day, we would have no other client,” I lamented wistfully.It was even worse because I would have to refund those who already paid for the job to be done.“Please, ma’am, don’t be pessimistic,” Shirley said.“The earlier I begin to count my losses, the less painful it would be for me,” I responded.That wasn’t true, but right now, my heart was still too heartbroken to process anything. Donald Shell wasn’t bluffing when he said that he could make everything about me crumble, and it was happening right in front of my eyes.I was tired of crying. I couldn’t think of anything to do that would make my predicament better, and as I stared at all the outfits in my living room, I just felt completely broken and worthless.This wasn’t the excitement I had whe
