Her Chance To Speak

MARKI didn’t have an exact expectation aside to see that Alexa was safe and unharmed, but what I didn’t expect was to have her in my arms like this.Alexa held onto me for dear life, and as I held her in return, I could feel her shakiness deep inside, and that alone confirmed my fear.I looked up, and my eyes met Donald’s, and even though I hadn’t heard a word from Alexa, I wanted to kill him with my bare hands.“What is this about, Ronaldo?” Donald asked, visibly upset.“I should be asking you that,” I responded angrily.I was still holding Alexa, and she was still clinging to me with dear life, and I didn’t even want to let her go.Goodness, I didn’t think I had ever seen Alexa this shaken with fear, and I worried that even though from what I could see, it didn’t seem like any physical harm was inflicted, but I wasn’t sure. What could he have done to her to make her this shaky and scared?What if we hadn’t shown up?“I don’t appreciated being barged into my home, Ronaldo,” Donald s

My Vows

MARKI was stunned to speechlessness at Alexa’s response.Even though we didn’t see anything, it was obvious that either something had happened, or it had been about to, and she had to lie?“Are you sure, Miss Alexa?” The detective asked deeply.“Whatever it is, you can talk to the cops,” one of the cops cajoled with a friendly tone.“He is right; I simply came over with a gift to have a good time with him,” Alexa responded.Goodness, wasn’t anyone hearing the tremble in her voice?A tear dropped from Alexa’s eyes, and everyone else pretended that it was nothing!“Or would you like to go with us to the station to put down any statement?” Vector asked.“Why is she being forced?” Donald asked. “Do you both want something bad to happen so badly that you are willing to push her into telling a lie?” He questioned further. “And as for you, Mark Ronaldo, I am going to sue for trespassing and barging in. Don’t think that you are going to get away with this,” Donald threatened me.His audacity

A Crying Woman

ALEXAWe drove in the car that Mark had come in, and I neither asked any questions nor protested.There was a man at the back of the car, but I didn’t pay him any mind or even look at him for too long. Right now, I just wanted to be in my apartment to process what had been about to happen to me.Without having to say anything, Mark had instructed Vector to drive my car while he drove this one and we both sat at the front seats.“My apartment, please,” I simply said.“Are you sure, Alexa?” Mark asked.I nodded and shut my eyes, trusting that Mark would stick to what I wanted.I suspected that he would want to take me back to his house, but I didn’t think I wanted to be there either. The truth was that I didn’t even know what I really wanted right now, but I guessed that a familiar environment would do me a world of good.Mark’s house was a familiar environment, but then again, it came with too many bad memories, and that would only heighten what I was feeling right now.The drive was s

More Determined To Bring Him Down

MARK“What are you supposed to tell me?” Alexa asked.Vector and I reacted in shock instantly because we weren’t expecting Alexa, and when we turned, she was standing right there, by the kitchen door.“I heard your voices from the living room,” Alexa added.Her eyes were swollen with sadness and fear, and very red from all the tears that she had been shedding. It broke me to see her like this, but then again, I was worried about her hearing our conversation.I totally forgot that her apartment wasn’t exactly big, and as such, she could have easily heard us.“What did you hear?” I couldn’t help but ask.Vector had been reminding me that I said I wanted to confess my love to Alexa, and I told him that now wasn’t the time. He insisted that now was a better time to tell her about how I felt about her; maybe that would make her feel better, but I declined because I just couldn’t.Not right now.And that was when Vector had asked when I intended to since I kept insisting that now wasn’t the

Her Reaction

MARKI stopped in confusion when I didn’t find Alexa in the living room, and instant worry filled my body.“Where could she have gone?” I asked myself.Alexa was broken and devastated, and whatever she might have gone through could drive her into hurting herself, and the mere thought of that made me more worried.I was about to call out for Vector desperately when I figured that she could be in her bedroom. I decided to go and check for her there first before alerting Vector.And thankfully, Alexa was in her bedroom, lying down like a lump of wood on her bed.“I was worried sick for a second,” I told her, standing by the door.As much as I wanted desperately to go to her and cuddle her up, I didn’t. I just couldn’t. Seeing Alexa looking like that broke something inside of me, and it was even worse because I didn’t know what transpired in that locked living room. Well, hopefully, I would know that when Alexa would give her statement to Brent.“Did you call my dad and tell him about th
