ALEXA’S POVDespite the altercation we had this morning, Mark still spoke to the cops about this?I couldn’t deny my surprise, but other than that, I could barely understand how this made me feel. I didn’t stop them from doing their job. It wasn’t something I had thought about, but seeing that Mark had been thoughtful enough to do it for me, I wouldn’t decline.I also wanted to feel safe.When I arrived at my company, I went into my office and began to sort through the designs for the day.My secretary knocked and entered a few minutes later.“Do you want something?” I asked her.Noelle wasn’t here; I checked her office the moment I got in, but I was hoping that Stacy Bandwit wouldn’t pull through with her threat any time soon.I had thought of reaching out to her, just to inform her that I hadn’t been able to get in touch with Noelle, so as to pacify her, but I changed my mind…for now.“I wanted to inform you that Miss Noelle is back from her short trip,” my secretary told me, soundi

MARKThe first call I received for the day was from Brent, and I picked up with way too much agitation.“The man from the bank has something for you, Mark,” Brent told me.My heart was filled with relief, but at the same time, it was pounding with agitation.“That is great!” I said.“It came faster than I predicted,” Brent responded.“Do I come over right now?” I asked Brent.I was already at my company, and I had a lot of work to do already, but this was also very important, and I didn’t mind pushing my schedule forward just for this.“I am a little tied up for the most part of the day, and so is he,” Brent told me. “I have two court cases today, and he also has engagements,” he added.“I do have a ton of work to do as well,” I said.“So, why don’t we meet up later this evening?” Brent asked me. “I think my house will be perfect, so that we are sure that there are no walls with ears,” he added.“That is great,” I responded. “Vector will join us,” I added.“Okay, Mark, see you in the

MARKThe banker left a few minutes later, leaving Vector, Brent, and me.“So, what do you have in mind to do?” Brent asked me.But I couldn’t answer right away.“He is still in utter shock, Brent,” Vector said. “I think he needs time to process this and come up with a response while you continue with the investigation,” he added.Vector was also stunned to his bones; it could be felt in the sound of his voice, but he was able to provide an answer better than I could.“That is totally understandable,” Brent said with a nod. “But whatever you do, Mark, just make sure you don’t confront him or make him suspect what you know now,” Brent advised me.As though that would be easy to carry out, but I didn’t argue with Brent.“We should leave, Vector. Let me drop you off,” I told Vector.Vector and Brent looked at each other and nodded in understanding.“I will keep in touch, Brent,” I told him before Vector and I walked out of his living room, and Brent nodded again.“Take your time, Mark, bu

MARK“I love you, Alexa,” I whispered as I stared at a sleeping Alexa.The entire night, we had submitted ourselves to our desire that could not be quenched, and when we had eventually slept off, it was in each other’s arms.I woke up before Alexa, giving me the opportunity to watch her sleep, and my heart swelled with the feelings I had for her.“If only I could say these words to you,” I added.I would have confessed my true feelings to Alexa Silver in a heartbeat, but things weren’t still clear between us. There were still complications.Donald Shell was still in the picture.Also, it still felt like we were enemies; enemies who couldn’t control the desires they had for each other.I had been with different women since I was in my late teens, but never for once did I ever feel this drawn to a woman. Alexa was like a well of desire that couldn’t be filled, and unfortunately, she was also the first woman I was facing this complication with.“I wish things were simple,” I said to myse

ALEXAWhat happened in my apartment felt like something that only happened in the movies, and I needed time alone to process it.When I came out of the bathroom and didn’t see Mark, my first thought was that he was seeing a movie in the living room, and I had mistaken the masculine voices for those in the television, only for me to come out and see both of them by my door.One inside, and the other, standing with a bunch of flowers at my door.“Damn,” I said worriedly.I wasn’t particularly concerned about Donald, because I didn’t have anything to do with him that would make him feel as though he was being cheated on, but this wasn’t just a scenario that I ever thought I would have to deal with.Worse, we were already getting to become really good friends, and now this…The pain in Donald’s eyes was evident.Thankfully, Mark left with his pant, so there wouldn’t be need for me to go to him again, or for him to even come to me, but I didn’t want things to be like that between Donald an
