All Chapters of Till Divorce Do Us Part: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

ALEXAWhat I just saw brought back all the anger in me and disoriented me internally.And I could not explain the jealousy I felt in the pit of my stomach. Mark was such a shameless man. How long had he known Reyna that something was already going on between them? I had loved only Mark since I was born, but right in my presence, he had gone back to Ivy twice and even engaged her. It was barely six months since the drama with Ivy and Oscar that caused Mark’s relationship with her to crash completely, and yet, he was already showing interest in another woman.Whereas, I couldn’t even bring myself to like someone else or be attracted to them.I was so angry and jealous that I didn’t even realize that the doctor was talking to me.Mark had to nudge me back to reality, and I hated that he had to touch me.“Alexa, are you okay?” The doctor asked.“Yes, why?” I asked dumbly.“You zoned out for a minute, and I have been trying to talk to you, but you weren’t responsive,” he answered.“I am f

ALEXAMark had taken me completely by surprise. I had expected him to cower at what I just said and plead, but instead, he had been unflinching.What was going on that no one was telling me about?I continued to think about it even while I sat by the side of my dad in his ward.“Alexa, what is running through your mind?” He asked me.“Nothing,” I lied.“I gave birth to you and raised you, Alexa, you should know that you cannot easily lie to me, so tell me what is going on,” he urged. “I have been watching you chew your lip since, and that only shows that something is bothering you,” he added.He was right, but that didn’t mean that I could tell him everything. The only thing I wanted from him right now was for him to get well and discharged.Aside from my conversation with Mark, I was still worried about the one we had with the doctor. Even though Mark already said he would hire someone to look after him for the meantime, I still didn’t want to leave it to him. This was my dad, and a

MARKI didn’t have an answer to Reyna’s question, but then again, there was no going back now. Not like I wanted to anyway.Whatever her reaction might be, I would just wait to see it, and hopefully, it wouldn’t infuriate her so much that she would turn down my request to be her client.After I dropped Reyna off at the company, I knew that there was something else I also needed to sort out.Donald was gradually becoming a nuisance and I wasn’t having it.I called Brent.“Brent, are you fit to have a discussion?” I asked him as soon as the call connected.“Yes, I am,” he answered.“Then I am on my way to you,” I told Brent before ending the call.While I drove over to Brent’s house, I called Vector.“Vector, I need a favor from you,” I said. “How busy are you right now?” I asked him.“Not too busy to help out,” Vector said, sounding as though he was both pleased and surprised that I was asking for help.As a Ronaldo, and being Vector’s close friend for years, he knew that I rarely aske

ALEXAAfter Eva left, and that was me being satisfied with all the dresses she brought, as usual, I could barely stop thinking about her remark about Gina.The only difference between Eva and Noelle was that she didn’t make the comparison in Gina’s presence. Maybe that would have made Gina to feel uncomfortable.But why was it making her feel uncomfortable?“Do you want some of the cookies I made?” Gina asked me with a free spirit.“Yeah, sure,” I said.Gina brought some and I had a taste, and I couldn’t deny how good it was, so much so that I moaned in delight as it melted on my tongue.Gina giggled.“This tastes like heaven, Gina,” I complimented her, and I meant it.“Thanks, Alexa,” she said. “The fact that you like it means a lot to me,” she added.“Where did you learn to make such delicious cookies?” I asked her.“Um, from my mum,” Gina answered with pride. “She bakes cookies, fruit breads, and even chocolate candies,” she added.I smiled fondly at Gina, and she smiled back.“You

ALEXAGina’s reaction made me realize that perhaps, Noelle hadn’t been bluffing all this time. This wasn’t to say that I already believed Noelle, but there had to be something to Gina’s reaction when she heard about the actress, Lina Barry.However, I didn’t want to bother about it, so I left her and went to my store.“Welcome, Miss Alexa,” my secretary greeted. “It feels like you have been away for ages,” she teased.“I feel like I have been away for long too,” I said.The moment I walked in, I felt as though I had walked into my home. This was my business. My home. My hard work. My legacy.Even though my dad’s company had been bequeathed to me, it would never feel like this, and that was because I started this from scratch. I would not be continuing from where anyone stopped, and this made me realize that this was my identity.And I felt immensely proud of it.I had been happy about my business, but right now, I felt deeply proud, and I couldn’t even express it. The feeling was too
