MARKAfter Vector and I made an agreement; ensuring that I pulled all my weight for him was the least that I could do after taking such great fall for me, we went out of the detective’s office to join everyone else.This time around, we didn’t take as much time as when I went into his office to speak with Ivy.“Miss Ivy is still insisting that it was you she saw running out of Oscar’s residence on the day he was murdered,” the detective said immediately.It was as though he had been waiting for us to come out, and not just that, ever since I got to the station, he had been acting in a way that said he wanted the allegation to be true so badly.My eyes glanced down at his fingers, because I wanted to check if he was itching to have me handcuffed and thrown into jail.Before now, I had no business with this detective. There had never been any connection or relationship between us, because first of all, there had not been the need for me to come to the station or have anything to do with

MARKReturning to my apartment made me feel like a bloody loser. I had already made Mr. Devon know what to do and there was no deliberating on the issue; I would give up everything to fight for Vector, but after we parted ways and my driver began the drive to my residence, I felt the weight of everything that had happened recently settle in my chest.My chest became tight and I felt like a horrible human being.None of this would have happened if I hadn’t be unable to control my emotions by going over to Alexa’s apartment that night all because I desperately wanted to speak to her. I wouldn’t have been able to save her from Oscar’s attack, but then again, with how everything was going now, I doubted that Alexa would have ended up hurt.For all I knew, Oscar might have mentioned my name all the same even if I hadn’t shown up there.My mind began to take a new dimension in evaluating the situation.What if all of this was planned? I understood that Alexa never knew that I would show up

IVYMy blood surged with so much anger and pain when I watched Alexa’s documentation on the internet, and worse, she had so many people already watching it.Every viewer was asking her to make more documentary videos. They wanted more. They loved what they were seeing. They could not get enough of Alexa Silver, the men fashion stylist who recently just got into business and is already taking the lead.It was almost as though Alexa was taking the spotlight from the pop-star. Wasn’t she supposed to be in the background and non-existent? I could not contain my anger and jealousy. I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it, almost tearing it apart with my teeth.“Who the fuck does she think she is?” I asked myself angrily.I dumped my phone and paced around. Years back, I could proudly and happily stick my tongue out at Alexa, because I got the man her father wanted to pitch to her. It was me Mark Ronaldo met first, liked, and asked out on a date, and not Alexa, the golden daughter of Mr.

MARK“We lived by your money, Mark. We were in love, and I took care of Oscar with your money,” Ivy continued with confidence. It was as though something had been let loose in her and she couldn’t hold herself back. She continued talking without control and care as to whether or not her words were hurtful to me. Something in her had snapped, and she couldn’t help herself.I couldn’t control the level of hurt that cut through my heart as she continued to spill what I had no idea about. “I could have lived happily ever after with Oscar,” she said and broke into sobs.“You would have been happy with someone who wanted Alexa so badly that he wanted to hurt her?” I asked Ivy.This just didn’t make sense to me any longer.“He didn’t love Alexa! He was only after her for her money, but you ended up killing him and asking your friend to cover up for you,” Ivy yelled.I shook my head pitifully. No matter the turn of event, I would always be grateful that this happened, because I would never

MARKIvy’s revelation made me utterly restless. I had thought that the feeling of betrayal that came from finding out that I was simply a means to an end for herself, her mother, and her lover, would be heartbreaking enough.But Vector stealing from me?I wanted to not believe it so badly, but a huge part of me couldn’t deny the feeling that Ivy was right. She was in a grieving state, and people in that emotional state rarely resorted to lies. Besides, there were questions that she asked that made me believe that she was right?Vector had no reason to support Ivy in her lies. He did not owe her anything, and also, Vector never really liked Ivy. He was only cordial to her because of our relationship, so why would he stay quiet when he knew that Ivy and her mother were lying to me?I felt the raw sting of betrayal rush through me, and suddenly, the house was too hot for to stay.I felt trapped and grounded. Since the first accusation broke out and Mr. Devon advised not to show up at my
