The Worst That Could Happen

ALEXA“Oh, you are awake,” the nurse said as she walked into my ward.Even though I couldn’t see outside of the window right now, I knew that it was dark already. Somehow, I had dozed off after seeing the news, but it had been one of the worst sleeps I had had recently.From running away from Donald Shell who wanted to destroy me by all means to nosy press who wanted to get information. Between the two of them, I couldn’t tell which plagued me more, but I was just glad and relieved to be awake.“Yes, I am,” I answered. “What about my dad?” I asked almost immediately.The moment I opened my eyes, I thought about him with deep worry. She had told me that he was still in surgery, but that was hours ago.“He is out of surgery,” she answered with a small smile.And that was enough to tell me that he wasn’t dead.“Did he make it?” I had to ask.Regardless of the smile she gave me, I was still too worried not to ask.“Yes, he did,” she answered.“I want to see him right now,” I said, trying

Guilt. Regret. Shame

ALEXAI felt the presence of people, or maybe someone around me before I opened my eyes, and I really wished I didn’t.I thought I was dead.I wanted to be dead.“Thank goodness you are awake,” the doctor said.My eyes were still a little blurry, but I could see the nurse standing somewhere in the ward, along with Shirley, and the pitiful look in their eyes was evident.“Is he truly dead?” I asked.My heart was so heavy that I wondered how I was able to even speak. While I stayed unconscious, that was the only thing I could think about, and by God, I really wanted to be dead.“Yes, Alexa,” the doctor answered pitifully.Streams of tears flowed down my cheeks and I didn’t bother with controlling them. The tears were nothing compared to the ache and emptiness in my heart. I never thought I would ever have to experience this sort of tragedy.“We really tried to resuscitate him, but his system was failing, and that was due to the fact that his heart was already weak, even before the heart

Our Home

ALEXA“It’s a little late, ma’am,” Shirley told me when she saw that I was ready to leave the hospital.“I should be saying that to you, Shirley,” I responded tightly.My heart was still in chaos.“You are my secretary, and it is way past your closing time,” I added by reminding her.She stayed quiet for a little bit before speaking again.“I don’t mind being here,” Shirley said. “And I don’t mind spending the night with you…just in case you need anything,” she added, offering carefully.I shook my head.“Not to sound ungrateful, Shirley, but there will be no need for that,” I responded firmly.And Shirley knew that at this point, she couldn’t force her way into anything.The door opened and the doctor walked into the ward, just as we were about to leave, and he became instantly surprised.“I thought to come and check up on you and ensure that you are resting,” he said worriedly. “Where are you going?” He asked.“Home,” I responded.“But I haven’t discharged you yet,” he said.“Only t

Loneliness and Death

ALEXAWhen I got to the door, I pushed it open and it obeyed me. Maybe I didn’t think that it would because I was too weak to even apply any form of force.I was weak emotionally and physically.All I wanted to do was get to my dad’s bedroom, take out all his clothes, lay them on his bed, and curl up right there. That was exactly what I had done when my mum passed; it helped me to stay sane for a while. Hopefully, it would do the same now.Or maybe it wouldn’t because of the shame and guilt I was feeling deep inside. It was eating me up so badly that I could hardly breathe.“I understand the terms. You have laid them out before,” a voice said.I stopped, trying to catch the voice and where it was speaking from.“You know I have been nothing but obedient and diligent,” the voice said again, and this time around, I was able to catch the voice.It was Clara talking and the voice was coming from the aisle downstairs.At first, I had thought that it was the kitchen, but knowing Clara, she

A New Catch

MARKI resumed work as early as possible, and after interviewing two more persons but finding none of them worthy, I gave up.“Damn it,” I said to myself.I pulled out my cell phone and dialed a number. She picked up almost immediately.“Good morning, Mr. Mark,” Reyna greeted.“Is this too early to call knowing that you no longer go to work?” I asked considerately. “You might be taking a rest,” I added.“No, Mr. Mark, I have been up,” she answered. “Is there something I can do for you?” She asked me politely.“You might not know this, but I fired my secretary and got her arrested for teaming against me,” I said, getting right to the point.“I am sorry about that,” she apologized.I waved my hands off dismissively as though Reyna was right here and she could see me.“You don’t have to be sorry about it, Reyna. She is only facing the consequences of her actions,” I responded. And then I went on with what I was trying to say.“I have been interviewing a couple of potential candidates, b

My Home

ALEXAA rumbling sound in my stomach forced me awake.“Am I hungry?” I asked myself, almost in disbelief.For the entire day yesterday, I wasn’t sure I had anything to eat. Heck, I was lying down in the hospital all day and grieving the passing of my dad. However, I still didn’t expect that I would be this famished.It was as though my stomach was completely empty and on fire.“When have I ever been this hungry?” I asked myself as I got out of bed.My first instinct was to get something to eat because the hungry seemed to be feasting on my system. I had thought that with everything that was going on, I wouldn’t have an appetite.Quite frankly, I didn’t even want to eat anything, but with the hunger in my stomach, I couldn’t even control it.I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth quickly, but just as I stepped out of the bathroom, Shirley called.“Good morning, Miss Alexa,” she greeted as soon as I picked up the call.“Shirley, is everything okay?” I asked because I just wanted

Not The Time

MARKReyna returned to my office to show me the schedule that she had come up with.She didn’t start working for me, but first, she needed to go through the schedules and create her own template, and I gave her time to do so.An hour later, she came back to my office and showed it to me.I couldn’t deny how impressed I was at her competence, but then again, Reyna had already proven to me that she was more than capable.“Is there anything you would like me to adjust, correct, take out, or add?” Reyna asked professionally.“Not a single thing,” I responded. “I am just going to send you a list of what I have on my table to get done for the rest of the week, and you can fix them in the schedule so that you can remind me about them when it is time,” I added.“Of course, Mr. Mark,” she answered.I thought that she would return to her desk, but she didn’t.“Is there anything else?” I asked, looking up at her.The sadness in her eyes was still very much there, and it reminded me of my own pai

Strip Her Off

ALEXAShirley arrived a while later, just when I had just finished having breakfast.“You have access to my apartment now, so ensure that everything runs smoothly,” I told her.“I will, ma’am,” she responded.“And if there is anything I need to know, you can just call me or send me a message or an email,” I added.Shirley nodded.I noticed that she had something else bothering her that she would have liked to say, but she was hesitating.“What is it?” I asked her.“It’s nothing, Miss Alexa,” she responded.It was a lie, but I didn’t even have the courage and strength to press her for details.“Alright then,” I said.Shirley left after that and I sat back at the dining table and just allowed the heaviness and hollowness to wash over me. It was even a surprise for me that I could eat a full plate of food, or maybe it was because I was deeply famished.Clara, after recovering from the shock of my demand, had scoffed and stormed upstairs to pack her things, and I could barely wait to see

Always A Way Out

MARKAs much as I wanted to defile Brent’s words and still go ahead to see Alexa just to find out how she was doing, I couldn’t because I knew he was right.Now wasn’t the time to play around my company.Mr. Devon had already done enough damage. He had taken years to plot the takeover, and one single mistake by me could give him all he ever wanted, leaving me empty and at a loss.“Well, this is your fault, Alexa. If you hadn’t filed that restraining order, this wouldn’t be happening,” I told myself.I didn’t want to feel bad or guilty for not being there for her because I wanted to. However, Alexa Silver didn’t want to.Even at the hospital, she had firmly stated that she didn’t want me to see her.However, I would still need to know about the funeral arrangements because even her restraining order wouldn’t stop me from paying my last and final respect to Mr. Silver, a man I had known and respected for about ten years now.As Canon drove me out of my company, I called Reyna.“Is there

Troubles Of My Own

ALEXAI stood by my words and ensured that by the time Clara was leaving, she left without a car. She left empty-handed.I went the extra-mile by asking one of the securities in the house to search through all her belongings just to ensure that she didn’t sneak in anything into her bags. “You are going to regret this, Alexa, I promise you,” Clara had threatened when she was being escorted out of the house.She was visibly pained and humiliated, but I wasn’t moved by that. None of that could be compared to the damage that she had done since she was brought into my family.“I don’t want to see traces of her anywhere near this premises,” I told the securities, loud enough for Clara to hear. “If you ever do, you are going to be arrested for trespassing,” I had added.The moment Clara was dragged out of the premises and I was certain that she had left and she would never be coming back, something happened inside of me.I felt deep relief.It was as though Clara’s presence here was making
