MARKMy visit to the hospital came with different emotions.I was upset that Donald went ahead to officially announce their relationship. It didn’t matter to me that Mr. Silver didn’t seem interested. I couldn’t even bank on that. The man was sick, and he must have felt that that was the wrong time to make such an announcement. Besides, wasn’t he having dinner the other evening with the same Donald?I felt disrespected by Noelle’s actions, but then again, it was inconsequential to me. I didn’t have to deal with her, and so far, we had not had the chance to run into each other. Since there was nothing going on between us, I wasn’t bothered by her hostility. However, I would not tolerate being disrespected for any reason.Then, I felt excited that Alexa and I would eventually be making the trip.“It’s a business trip, Mark,” I had to remind myself, but it didn’t stop me from feeling the way I was feeling. This would be the first time I would be taking a business trip with a woman, and i

ALEXAAfter I managed to get Clara to leave, I sat back close to my dad and watched him sleep. He was fragile and weak, but he was resting well.Thankfully, it wasn’t very severe.I yawned tiredly, and my stomach rumbled with hunger, and I realized that I hadn’t had something to eat the whole day.“I should get some food from the cafeteria,” I said to myself.It shouldn’t be more than ten minutes, and I was certain that my dad wouldn’t be up before I got back because I didn’t even want to leave his side. If I wasn’t this hungry, I wouldn’t have stepped away from him for a second. Now that I had been forced to take the trip to Toronto, I might as well spend the time I had with him now.Speaking of Toronto, I called Eva as I walked out of my dad’s suite and she picked up almost immediately.“It’s always a pleasure to get a call from you, Alexa,” Eva said with excitement.She wasn’t excited because we were friends. Rather, she was excited because of the money she would get from getting d

ALEXAI still couldn’t shake off Donald’s words.“My answer is no.”I never sought permission from him, and yet, he had the audacity to give an answer. It wasn’t even his audacity that scared me; it was the dread in his eyes when he had said those words, and the words after that.“What do you mean by that?” I had managed to ask him.“You know what is going to happen if you go against my wish, Alexa,” Donald had responded coyly. “This is not even up for debate,” he had added.About an hour after he left, I was still feeling the shivers of his threat. He wasn’t throwing words around. There was nothing like the gentlemanly and sweet Donald Shell that I had known from the beginning. I knew that he was referring to filing a case against Mark Ronaldo for assaulting him, and I didn’t want that.Because I didn’t want to stop working with Mark.“What exactly do you want?” A voice in my head asked me, and my shoulders sagged tiredly.I was infuriated by the mere presence of Mark Ronaldo, so why

MARKI left Brent thinking about our conversation and his revelation. Something about Brent made me believe every word that came out of his mouth, so if he said it was someone from my company, he was right.And it was not Donald Shell.“Shit,” I exclaimed.I was embarrassed with my actions because I shouldn’t have confronted Donald without proof. Thinking about it now, there was really no real reason why Donald should attack and threaten Brent, but I hadn’t even thought about it deeply or logically. Instead, I had simply acted on my rage towards Donald Shell. More like I wanted him to be guilty of something.“When am going to think clearly before leaping?” I asked myself.I was too embarrassed to even tell Brent that I had gone ahead and confronted Donald. That would have made me look foolish and unreasonable, and that was the last way I wanted anyone to see me, especially another man.When Vector’s call came in, I picked up immediately to prevent me from persecuting my own self.“Vec

MARKAfter getting ready, I drove all the way to the hospital to see Doctor Jones. It was a different hospital, and I wished that it wasn’t, so that it would be easier to just see Mr. Silver, but regardless, I already included in my morning schedule.“Hey, I have a schedule with Doctor Jones for this morning,” I said when I walked into the reception.“He is expecting you already, sir,” the receptionist told me.I went straight to his office, and I found him seated behind his desk.“Mark,” Doctor Jones said as he stood up the moment I walked into his office. “I didn’t know that I was going to see you,” he added.I sat down without saying a word, or even without being told to. Being in his office made me recall his own part of the betrayal, and it made me angry. Maybe if I had been able to get him arrested or jailed for being unprofessional, I would have felt a little better, but then again, doing that would only complicate things more.And again, the discretion of my health after the
