My Mistake

ALEXAMark was the one who sent the chocolate candies and not Donald.Heck!If I had simply read the damn note card, I would have known, but I didn’t, and now, I was restless; restless because even though I didn’t still like Mark, I could have taken the chocolates and enjoyed it.When the chauffeur dropped me off at my office and I left, I hurried into my office.I already talked with Eva on the outfits and designs and I wanted, and I trusted that she would deliver, and that was the reason I had gone late to the meeting, but I hadn’t even minded, because it felt like I was making Mark pay for what he did.Maybe I should have stood him up completely, but then again, wouldn’t that have been too petty?Barely had I settled into my office when Noelle walked into my office.“Were you waiting for me to come?” I asked Noelle as she made herself comfortable.“Yes, I was,” she didn’t bother to deny it.“And don’t you have anything else to do other than wait for me?” I asked her. “What if I had

To Warn Him Off

MARK“Brent was attacked because of me,” I said out loud as I paced from one side of my living room to another.“Who could have done this?” Vector asked, worried and confused.“There is no other enemy I have other than Donald Shell,” I stated.Vector stayed thoughtful for a while.“Donald Shell, are you sure?” Vector asked.“This is a very silly question to ask,” I snapped at Vector and again, he raised his hands up in surrender.“I just want you to be sure before throwing allegations around,” he said.“And I know exactly what I am talking about,” I insisted.“Forgive me for asking, Mark,” Vector said, pleading in advance already. “But I am curious; why do you think it is Donald?” He asked.“Wasn’t Brent the lawyer who helped me get out of the hole that Donald wanted to dig for me?” I asked Vector.“True, he is,” Vector answered.“So what is the essence of your question?” I asked Vector.“This was weeks ago, Mark, why would Donald send a note to Brent asking him to leave you alone whe

Look What He Made Me Do

ALEXAFour hours later, I was still lamenting on the silly mistake I made, especially when I tried again to see if I could order the chocolate candies from the other city and they just weren’t responsive.It had dawned on me that Mark did not only fly them across cities to get to me, but he also used his influence and power and money to achieve that.But how did he get my address?That thought didn’t even linger much because I was more worried about what I had lost than how he got my address. I completely threw away an opportunity to enjoy something that I still loved all because I didn’t take one millisecond to check the card that came with the package.My doorbell rang and a silly part of me thought that Mark had sent another delivery, and I hurried to the door.I couldn’t even hide my disappointment when I saw that it was Noelle, and she walked into my living room, almost brushing me out of the way.“Noelle, I didn’t let you know my apartment so that you could be barging in wheneve

I Hate It Here

IVY“Hey, I want to use the cell phone,” I told the woman in charge of all the ladies in rehab.Everyone referred to her as Lady.She was bulky and mostly sulky, and she only gave us access to the phone once every month even though her fee was super high.Thankfully, I could still access by account, and that was exactly what I had been using to sort out some of my personal needs.“Your fee,” Lady said as she stretched her hand open.I dropped the notes on her palm.“This is way too high for just a few minutes worth of phone call, Lady,” I grumbled.“If you weren’t sick in the head, you would be out there with the freedom to use your cell phone and talk for God knows how long,” she sneered.Her words cut through my heart painfully.“I am not insane,” I told her.That was exactly what I had been trying to say to everyone since I got here, including the doctors, but it seemed like the more I did, the more they thought I was really having mental issues. I had been dreaming more about Osca

Sexy And Bossy

MARK I was expecting that what happened at Donald’s office would have made it to the news by now, because knowing him, he was excellent at lying and manipulating situations to suit him, and that was the exact reason I went with Vector.But there was nothing like that.“Because the bastard knows he is guilty,” I said to myself.It had been days since it happened, and yet, nothing. Donald might be feared by other businessmen, but not me, and soon, I would be able to expose him for all the atrocities that he had been committing.Any, I threw the thought away from my head and concentrated on the drive to Silver Company Limited.It was the day of the rescheduled meeting, and I could not believe that even after the anger from the last meeting, I had actually counted the days till the next meeting and looked forward to it.“You know you are dying to see Alexa,” a voice in my head teased me.I didn’t bother to deny it because a part of me knew that it was true, but then I silenced it, especi

Make It Public

ALEXAThe rest of the meeting went by in a flash. Besides, right after Mark said he knew someone he could call, we didn’t have much to talk about.“I will await your feedback then,” I simply said.Then Reyna had brought some biscuits and tea, and even though she didn’t say who it was from, I already knew that it was from Mark. I wasn’t stupid. However, I didn’t touch any of it. I did notice the way Reyna stared at Mark when she came to serve us, but I looked away, because if I looked for too long, I would become jealous.“And when should I be expecting it?” I asked Mark.“If all goes well, I will get in touch with you tomorrow,” Mark answered.“An email will be fine,” I told him stiffly, not bothering to look at Mark.I was still angry about what he made me do, and I still intended to speak with him about it, but I was waiting for the meeting to be over.“Alright,” Mark said after a few seconds of hesitation.We fell silent, and Mark’s ringing phone saved the moment. “May I?” Mark as
