Knight In Shining Armor

ALEXAThe look on Donald’s face was enough to make me deeply worried.“What confession?” I asked Donald skeptically.Donald walked into my office, coming closer to me.“I have been up and doing since the attack, because I don’t want it to happen to you again, and more importantly, I wanted to get to the bottom of everything,” Donald said with so much care and concern in his voice.My heart warmed greatly at the sound of his words, because it felt really good to have someone who cared and was worried about me, but it didn’t stop me from feeling skeptically about the next things I would hear from him.“You have done more than enough already, Donald, and I appreciate you for it,” I told Donald and I meant it. “We are friends, Alexa, and friends look out for each other,” Donald said deeply. “And I wanted you to also know who your real enemies are so that you can be wary of them, because you are a businesswoman now, and you are bound to have enemies, even the ones that appear to be harmle

Beyond Reasonable Doubt

ALEXA“Are you sure about what you are saying?” The detective asked Oscar. “You do know that if this turns out to be a lie, you would be in a more terrible situation. You don’t just go about mentioning names, especially the likes of Mark Ronaldo, who is a man of repute in this city,” he informed Oscar deeply.“I understand the consequences of what I just did, and I am not lying. He came to me and presented me with an offer that I couldn’t resist,” Oscar insisted.“Do you have any evidence…maybe a recorded conversation, or even a check that he must have given you as payment for the done deal?” The detective asked.“No, unfortunately, I don’t,” Oscar answered. “He made sure that I didn’t record anything, and we met at a private place. Then he assured me that if everything went well, he would pay me in cash, but it didn’t, so I don’t have anything to show as evidence, but it is true,” Oscar narrated.Tears gathered in my eyes, and as soon as I blinked, they spilled down my cheeks.I bega

Hard Truth

ALEXASo many things filled my mind as I approached Mark’s house. I was still struggling to believe what I heard from Oscar’s confession, and Donald’s words, but the evidences were glaring.More like the more I tried to find Mark innocent, the more things unfolded against him.Was I a fool for thinking that Mark wasn’t capable of harm? Was I stupid for thinking that he was different from the other wealthy and powerful businessman in the city? Growing up, I had been aware that they were all a bunch of cruel and dangerous men.“Why aren’t you as wealthy as the other businessmen, dad?” I had asked my dad when I turned twenty.He had been working hard and tirelessly to grow his business, but it never got bigger than I knew it to be. It had been as though he was just stagnant, and being that I had begun to help him out with emails, ledgers, and files, I began to realize that he was neither going forward nor moving backwards, which had made me deeply curious.So I had asked him one day when

Attention-Seeking Motive

IVY The scar from the injury incurred at Oscar’s apartment was taking its precious time to heal, and I knew that I should continue hiding in the house to prevent nosy gossips from carrying the news, but with what I read about Alexa being attacked and Oscar being arrested, I just couldn’t continue staying holed up.I had been isolated for days, but not once did Mark think to call or even ask about me.I was scared and worried that he had moved on without me, especially with the stunt I pulled at his house, but my mum kept assuring me that after the conversation she had with him, he would not think of calling off our engagement.I was also bothered about Oscar not even bothering to reach out, especially being that he was the reason I was in this condition in the first place, but that was not before news of him breaking into Alexa’s apartment and assaulting her circulated the internet.“Now I know why you haven’t been thinking about me,” I said to myself painfully as I got dressed.It w

Too Late

IVYI had no option but to wait for them to finish up their round of argument, of which my mum didn’t win this time around, unfortunately.Mr. Silver stormed out of the house in a rage, while my mum stormed upstairs.As soon as I noticed that she was coming up the stairs, I decked and hid quickly by the staircase where she would not be able to see me. Then when she walked past me angrily, I hurried downstairs and out of the living room. I wasn’t going to let her or whatever argument she was having with Mr. Silver prevent me from doing what I wanted to do, especially now that I had a new motive in mind.In no time, I was on my way to the station to see Oscar.I just had to see him and talk to him.Since I heard the news, I had become restless, and knowing the newfound popularity that Alexa was annoyingly gaining, she might want to pull some weight against Oscar, especially now that she had a certain Donald Shell by her side.My mum had been raising hell and brimstone since she informed

Risk For Love

IVY“You need to leave, ma’am,” the cop told me.Oscar had been dragged roughly back to the cell, and it hurt me deeply that I could do nothing to stop or help him. In that moment, I wished that I had some sort of power to get him out of this situation. I was scared of leaving, because I had no idea when I would be able to see him again.What did he mean by it was already too late?“Why did you drag him away like that?” I asked defensively, standing up for Oscar. “He didn’t do anything wrong!” I added.“I would leave if I were you,” he said, ignoring my outburst, and as though it was an afterthought, he whispered warningly to me, “And you should never tell anyone that you were here.”Shivers ran down my spine at the tone and words that he used.“Why not?” I asked curiously.Not that I would have announced to the world that I came to see Oscar, because he was nothing but my secret lover, but I still wanted to know why I was being warned in that dreadful and fearful manner.“Two powerfu

Special Invitation

MARKThe rest of the day went like a blur. I was restless before Alexa showed up with her questions, but after she left, I was more restless than I had ever been.She seemed very hurt and disappointed and upset, and those were emotions that I hadn’t seen in her eyes before, or maybe it was because I was getting to pay attention to Alexa.I tried to concentrate at work, but it was very difficult for me, so much so that I had to call my secretary.“Cancel every other appointment and work I have to do today,” I told her the moment she picked up the call.I didn’t give her the chance to ask any questions, which I knew that she would want to ask, because it was unusual for me to just cancel every appointment in the middle of the day. I shut my office door and paced around, confused.I would have called Vector, but being that all this time, I had been denying everything, I couldn’t, so I changed my mind.“Should I go after her?” I asked myself.It was a thought I considered, even a few minu

Hurtful Realization

MARKMy ears had to either be playing tricks on me, or the cops had suddenly taken to playing silly pranks.“Excuse me?” I expressed in shock.“What is going on here?” Mr. Devon asked protectively.He was acting as though he was my dad who saw the need to protect me, and it warmed my heart that he would stand up for me, but there was a more serious situation on ground, so I couldn’t even dwell on that.“It is just an invitation,” the first cop said calmly.It doesn’t stop it from being beneath my status and reputation. Worse, coming to my company to arrest me, who happened to be the owner and CEO of the company.How pathetic and embarrassing could that be?My annoyance grew.“Why am I being invited to the station regarding Alexa’s attack?” I asked them.Alexa was here just a few hours ago, so I didn’t quite understand what was going on. Her last question was if I went to the station to see Oscar, and she had left without even giving me the chance to explain what I went there for.Did

My Decision To Make

ALEXAI honestly didn’t want to show up at the station, but I was informed that I needed to by Donald. “It is important that you are there so that you can make up your mind on if you want to press charges or…whatever decision you come to,” Donald had told me.Then he had offered to come with me to the station.I didn’t want him to, but Donald had a way of inserting himself into whatever he wanted to be a part of.“You look restless and tense since you got back from confronting Mark; I don’t want him to unsettle you more,” Donald had also insisted.During the drive to the station, I had thought of asking Donald about the things he said about Mark and I which happened when he was not in Paris, but I was too consumed with the thoughts of Mark that I decided not to bother with it for now.I couldn’t even tell which hurt the more; that Mark actually connived with Oscar to cause me harm just so that he could prove a point, or that I had been in love with a man that I didn’t even know all t

Who Is This New Her?

MARKDonald and I waited for Alexa to make her decision and my heart thundered hard against my chest.A big part of me told me that she would insist that he stayed right here; she came with him after all, didn’t he? And that would also make Donald more pompous than he was already feeling.Then I couldn’t deny that another reason I was agitated was how embarrassing this would be for me. Donald would definitely have a filled day sneering at me and taunting me for being chosen to stay, but I was a Ronaldo, and the last thing I would let anyone do to me was strip me of the use of my power and influence.I meant what I told the detective, and if Alexa decides that this meeting wouldn’t hold if Donald wasn’t right here with her, then I would have to use all my pulling strings and fight this till the very end. It wasn’t something I wanted to do, because I didn’t want to drag Alexa down that road, not because I was worried about the outcome, but then again, with Donald, it would always be war
