Big Leap

ALEXAI went to my store that morning and Noelle promised to stop by later. Meanwhile, I had already made an appointment with the detective who advised that the earlier I filed the case, the better.Ever since I heard the news of Oscar’s death and how Mark had ordered for his release, I had been having a torrent of emotions. The urge to see him which I had earlier had vanished completely.“But why was he allowed to release Oscar,” I had asked the detective.“Because he has the power and influence, and also, you didn’t file any case, so we couldn’t have been able to hold him back,” the detective had explained. “Miss Alexa, there is so much that you need to know about, but this isn’t a phone conversation. I will strongly advise that you come to the station and file the case as soon as possible, otherwise, he might just get away with another crime,” he had added deeply.And I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Apparently, Mark was more dangerous as I thought, and the more things were being

Forced Willingness

ALEXA“What do you say, Noelle?” I asked Noelle, still breathing heavily.“Alexa, are you sure?” She asked me.“Yes, I am,” I responded. “This tour I went with the pop-star has elevated my business and it will be too much for me. There is no way I will be able to handle a thousand clients at once,” I said.“A thousand clients?” Noelle asked in astonishment.“That’s the request I currently have, Noelle, and I have a feeling that there will be more to come. I want to expand my business and make it global, Noelle, but I cannot do that alone,” I stated. “There is so much to be done and my assistant and I will not be able to handle it on my own,” I added.I was pleading with my eyes for Noelle not to turn me down.“But why me?” Noelle asked. “There are so many people that are looking for business investments like this one, and they will be perfect for the job,” Noelle said.She was sounding almost breathlessly as well.“This business means the world to me, Noelle. I cannot trust anyone els

We Meet Again

ALEXADonald gracefully opened the car door and I entered into his car, but I wasn’t feeling entirely comfortable.Donald was sweet and charming, and if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have become this rapidly successful, which made me feel as though I owed him in a way, but the closer he got, the deeper I felt that he wanted more.I had known him for a while now, and he had been completely sweet and gentlemanly, treating me in ways that no man had ever treated me, but I still wasn’t attracted to him. More than that, I didn’t want to have any romantic relationship with anyone for now.Or even any time soon.“Are you okay?” Donald asked as we pulled into the main road.He was using his convoy today.“Yes, I am,” I lied.I was having the feeling that he would profess his love any moment from now, and it made me anxious, majorly because I didn’t know what my response would be. I didn’t want to be with Donald intimately, but then again, turning him down would make me feel like I was being u

Family Of Ruin

MARKThe moment my eyes fell on Alexa and Donald, my blood boiled.With anger.With jealousy.With disgust.And I didn’t miss the sneering look on Donald’s face.For a second, Alexa slowed down and our eyes met, but it was a moment that I recognized as battle. She looked away as Donald led her into the station hand in hand.That was all I needed to know that they were officially seeing each other.“So Alexa left me for him?” I asked myself, my blood boiling in annoyance.Also, I knew that she was here to officially file the case and the last thing I wanted was to remain standing like a log while they paraded themselves as a pair. I proceeded to leave, but I heard Donald’s voice.“Mark,” he called.I turned and faced Donald with the meanest and coldest glare that I could ever muster and he retaliated with his own glare.I wanted to wipe off the smirk on his face.“You have the look of a sore loser,” he sneered.“And where is Alexa? Did she let you come back to talk me to? Because a whi

Too Much To Take In

ALEXAI came out from the restroom where I had to hurry to and found Donald waiting patiently by the lobby.“Are you okay?” He asked gently.“Yes, I am,” I responded. “I hope I didn’t stay long in there and kept you waiting in the process,” I said, watching Donald.But his expression was warm and calm, and it somehow made me feel relaxed in his presence.I still couldn’t place it, but there was definitely something about Donald that made me relaxed and comfortable in his presence one minute, and a completely opposite feeling the next. I haven’t been able to explain why I feel that way, but the feeling is definitely there.“No, you didn’t,” he said. “And it is important for women to get as much time as it pleases them when using the ladies. I am just glad that you could use their services here,” Donald added.“Thank you for always understanding,” I told him and meant it.“I promised you that I would always be here, and I meant it,” Donald stated. “I am not a man that throws words aroun

An Initial Savior

ALEXAI hurried out of the station with Donald on my heels.“Hey, Alexa, slow down!” He called out.It wasn’t until I arrived at his car that I actually slowed down. It was as though something was pulling me, and if I didn’t get this out of the way right now, I would be restless.“Are you okay?” Donald asked with a worried voice.“Yes, why wouldn’t I be?” I asked, almost panting.“You just stormed out of the detective’s office in the middle of a conversation and you didn’t stop when I was trying to get your attention, so it got me really worried,” he said.“Oh, that…I am sorry I walked out that like,” I said. “Do I owe the detective an apology?” I asked.Donald was making it look like it was disrespectful that I walked out just like that, although he sounded genuinely worried, or maybe it was just my restless nature getting the better of me.“No, Alexa, not necessarily, and I need you to calm down,” Donald said, urging me to inhale and exhale, but I didn’t really pay much attention to

My Answers

ALEXAI got into the living room and the emptiness greeted me.I sighed.Where did all the love and laughter that filled the air here when it was just me and my dad before he married Clara and she moved in with Ivy? Why had it gone?Why mind drifted quickly to years ago that didn’t seem like years ago right now.“Honey, will you be okay if I got married again?” My dad had asked one evening when we were trying to have a good time right here in the living room.I hadn’t thought of it at all, but he had wanted an answer.“Would it make you happy?” I had asked him in return.The thought of him getting married again just never crossed my mind and as he brought it up, all I could think about was him.“I have been lonely for a while now, Alexa,” he had told me calmly.“But you always have me here, and we do most things together. I even do some work for you,” I had pointed out to him, surprised that he would say that.He had become gloomy and sad.“Or do I spend too much time with Noelle? I c

Discredibility

MARKMy conversation, or confrontation, with Donald still hadn’t left my memory.Alexa went to the station to officially file the case, which wasn’t actually a bother to me, but then involving Donald in it fully was my major concern.Not that I was afraid of Donald, but I knew him well enough to know that he was back to Paris to take his pound of flesh on me, and he didn’t mind if he had to through Alexa for that. He knew that he had absolutely nothing on me, so he wanted to use this opportunity to get back at me.“I need to be two steps ahead,” I told myself.I would be damned if I allowed Donald to win this fight.I called Mr. Devon, and thankfully, he picked on the first ring. If he hadn’t picked, I would have either gone to his house or the company, damning all consequences. This wasn’t the time to play by any fucking rules.Almost all the horrible scandals had happened to me in the last couple of weeks, so what could be worse?“Mark,” Mr. Devon answered.“Mr. Devon,” I responded.

Out Of Grief

IVYWaiting for my mum to get back was like the most difficult thing I had done in a really long time.The wait was killing me.For some days in a row now, she had been going out every single day, and I wondered briefly where she was always going to, but the maid always had someplace to say.It was either to the salon or the boutique.Today, it was the salon.As soon as I heard footsteps, I knew she was the one and I hurried out of my bedroom. We met at the hallway.“What is it, Ivy?” She asked in a worried whisper. “You look like something is horribly wrong,” she observed.“You haven’t checked up on me for days now, mum,” I accused her.But it was the truth. As a matter of fact, I was a little worried that she was intentionally avoiding me.The grief was gradually wearing off and I had begun to see things with a clearer mind, and even my actions were no longer irrational.“I have been occupied,” she said quietly.“Since when did you become too occupied for me?” I asked her, deeply hu

Let It Sink In

ALEXA“Alexa, what is going on?” Noelle walked into my bedroom and asked me.“What’s going on?” I asked her in return.“Why haven’t you filed the case yet?” Noelle asked.“And how did you know that I haven’t done it?” I asked Noelle again, using questions to answer her questions.“Stop playing with me, Alexa, because this is serious,” Noelle said tightly.“I guess Donald Shell told you then,” I said. “When did you two become so close that he talks to you about everything?” I asked Noelle, looking at her.“First of all, if you had told me what was going on yourself, I would not have heard it from Donald, and secondly, we are not close. He only called me out of concern for you,” Noelle explained. “He said you both got to the station and you abruptly hurried out, and that nothing he said could make you change your mind,” Noelle added.“Jeez, can everyone just chill already?” I snapped angrily.Why was he reporting me to Noelle as though I was a child who couldn’t make her own decisions?
