All Chapters of Till Divorce Do Us Part: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

ALEXA“Are you really going to take over your father’s company?” Noelle asked me when I returned to the store.“I don’t have a choice here,” I responded.“But it is going to be too much for you,” she stated.“I know that already, Noelle,” I told her. “I am still thinking about everything,” I added.Noelle understood that I wanted to be alone for a moment and think about things, and she gave me space, but that didn’t last long enough, because Donald showed up at the store with flowers.I wasn’t in the mood to see him either, but I didn’t let him know that.“Is this a bad timing?” Donald asked as he settled into the chair in front of me.Noelle was handling things with my secretary in the main store, so it was just Donald and I left in my office which I now shared with Noelle.“No, it’s not,” I lied.Donald was being really polite that I didn’t want to make him feel a certain kind of way.“I wanted to check up and you and see how you were faring, as friends,” he added with a warm smile

MARK“You just can’t do this out of the blue, Mr. Silver,” I told him, my jaw very tight.This wasn’t something I was expecting, and it certainly wasn’t something I would ever have to accept. It was a good thing that the email and call were just to inform me about it and not that I had accepted it.“Please, let’s go into my private office,” Mr. Silver offered.“I know that Ivy has been sent to rehab, which is the only reason I wouldn’t have wanted to come here,” I said tightly. “I don’t intend to spend any time here listening to anything. I just want clarification on things and I will be out of here,” I added.Mr. Silver sighed.“Listen, Mark, this is very important. Ivy might not be here right now, but the walls have ears, and I would rather have this discussion where I am certain that it would be very discreet and safe,” he said extensively.“I didn’t come here for a discussion,” I told him. “I am only here to tell you that I will not be accepting it, not for whatever reason,” I add

ALEXA“I am so excited! I can barely wait!” Noelle said in excitement as we drove to the new space that was suggested to us.We were to meet the housing agent and also, check out the building.I already knew that I was going to expand when I returned from the tour with the pop-star, because my money and number of clients went up, and the space I started with wouldn’t be enough anymore.“I can barely wait too!” I responded with equal, or even more excitement.I could not express how excited I was about this big shift.I should have done this long before now, but I came back and there were a lot going on, but now, I was ready. Also, being that my dad had added another responsibility to me, I needed to get this fixed up before I could think of focusing on the company.“Finally, I will get a bigger space for my business,” I expressed with joy. “It’s like a company building,” Noelle stated.“Yes, only that it is more structured in the line of my business,” I stated. “There will be consult

MARKI walked into a grilling store ready to have a great time all by myself.It had been way too long since I went out alone or even ate out. Since the coma, I had been on strict diet, which had really prevented me from exploring foods from restaurants and cafés, but today, I wanted to take the risk, and the moment I walked into the grilling store, I knew that it was worth it.The pleasing aroma drifted into my nostrils and I quickly took a seat at one of the tables.“Welcome to our grilling store, sir,” the server, a sweet young lady, said in a cherry-like voice. She was holding a tablet which I believed was used to take the orders of customers who came into the store.“What’s your name and what can we offer you?” She asked.It didn’t bother me much that she wasn’t quite familiar with my face, being that I was influential in the city. I just wanted to have a good time and a full stomach, so I didn’t quite allow it to bother me.“My name is Mark Ronaldo,” I told her.There still was

ALEXAI could barely stop thinking about those words long after Donald left.How could Mark say something like that about me? Like I was a cheap whore he could pass around easily. I had always known that Mark never loved me, but did he have to be so condescending and humiliating. Even if I was in doubt before, that statement was all I needed to know that not only did Mark not love me, he didn’t even want me.“Alexa?” Noelle called worriedly.“Yes,” I responded, snapping out of my thought.“Are you okay?” Noelle asked.“Yes, I am,” I answered.“Are you sure?” She questioned deeply.“Yes, why do you ask?” I asked Noelle.“You have tears in your eyes, Alexa, and since Donald left, you have been lost in thought,” Noelle observed.“I am fine,” I lied, blinking back tears that I didn’t even notice were there to begin with.Gosh, why was I even feeling horrible over this?I already knew this from the very beginning. All Mark’s actions had done nothing but told me just how much he didn’t giv
