Finally Remembered

IVY“Hey,” Lina Barry called.This was the third time this week she was coming to me and trying to strike a conversation but I just wasn’t paying much attention to her.“You haven’t told me what is going on, Ivy. Since the day you were supposed to have your doctor’s appointment but couldn’t because of the work you were forcefully assigned to, you haven’t been yourself,” she added extensively.I stayed quiet.“I thought you didn’t like the doctor’s appointment thing. No one here does,” she finished.“Paying for the sins of someone else isn’t exactly nicer,” I eventually responded with a snap.“I am sorry about that, Ivy,” Lina Barry said.I went back to staying quiet, but she didn’t leave.“I have just been very lonely and bored, Ivy,” Lina Barry added wistfully. “It is Sunday, and I was thinking that we could just take a stroll around the mental home and do nothing…you are the only friend I have come to have around here,” she finished.Lina Barry was sad.I was livid.That damn nurse

So Much To Catch On

IVY“What happened to him?” I asked when I was able to get over my shock and the thought that was going through my head already.“Are you alone?” She asked me for the first time.I glanced at the nurse who was glaring hatefully at me. She seemed like she would have liked to know what my mum was saying, but unfortunately, she couldn’t, and that seemed to infuriate her more. However, that wasn’t even the only worry I was having.What if the calls were being recorded somewhere?As a mental home, they might want to keep track of things their patients said and the conversations they had with people outside the mental home, but then again, I couldn’t say that to my mum because if I did, the nurse would hear.For now, the only person that might have to be worried about words being said was me.“Not exactly, but it’s pretty clear,” I said.I didn’t want to go all out and say the words, and thankfully, my mum got the memo.“Thank goodness,” she responded.“What happened to him?” I asked, my h

About Her

MARKI arrived at my company really early in the morning.My first court case against Mr. Devon started today, but it wasn’t until twelve noon, and so I wanted to get a lot of work done before then because I wasn’t sure if I would be in the mood to even work after the first court hearing.More than that, I was eager to hear from Reyna regarding what we talked about over the phone last week.Thankfully, she was equally early.All through the weekend, I tried to keep my eyes on the news and blogs. It was my first time, but I was desperate to find out what was going on with Alexa, being that I couldn’t go anywhere close to her.Vector had taken a short trip to see his grandparents over the weekend, and so he couldn’t be of help to me.Unfortunately for me, aside from the news of Mr. Silver’s passing, nothing else had been revealed, and I figured that Alexa was probably keeping things private.That was typical of her.As a matter of fact, I had the feeling that she wasn’t even the one who

First appearance

MARKI arrived at court in time for the trail, but Vector called me just before I got in.“Mark, how is it going?” He asked me as soon as I picked up.“About to begin,” I responded.“Oh, okay. I really wish I was there physically to throw in my support, Mark,” Vector said deeply.I didn’t doubt him.More than anyone else, Vector had been a pillar of support even in ways that I never thought possible.“I believe you, Vector, but you don’t need to worry,” I said even though deep down, I couldn’t shake off the worry that was creeping into my heart.“Have you set eyes on Devon Charles yet?” Vector asked me.“I will have to get into court before I do that, right?” I asked rhetorically.“Right,” Vector chose to respond. “Although, Brent told me a while ago that he has been trying to appeal to the court to get bailed, but he has been declined on all occasions,” I told Vector.“He wants to handle this out of prison?” Vector asked.“Yes, but Brent isn’t going to let that happen,” I responded.

Cold Condolence

ALEXA“Good morning, ma’am,” one of the housekeepers greeted me.She knocked and I let her into my bedroom.“I brought coffee,” she said.“Don’t worry about it. I am not in the mood for coffee, and if I want some, I will make it myself,” I responded.“Oh, alright,” she responded.She turned to leave, but then I recalled something.“Are you the one mostly cooking here?” I asked her.Clara mostly replaced the workers, so after I left the house, she did a whole lot of replacements, making it difficult for me to keep track of who was what in the house, especially since I stayed away. Most of the staff members didn’t even really know who I was.“Yes, ma’am, especially since the chef was fired,” she answered.“Why was the chef fired? What did she do?” I asked.“Um, I don’t know. It was Mrs. Clara who fired her,” she responded.Of course, Clara wouldn’t need to explain to anyone, especially a domestic staff member, as to why she fired someone she employed.I never thought of it, but right no

Cleared Off

ALEXADonald Shell’s cold condolence disturbed me for the entire night, and it got worse when I had yet another nightmare about him.I woke up panting and sweating.“How long is this going to keep happening to me?” I asked myself dejectedly.The whole thing was taking its toll on me, and unfortunately, Donald Shell’s taunting had followed me all the way here.And then I realized that I was very famished.“Not again, ugh!” I lamented as I fell back into bed.I really wish that my body could become numb to all the sorrow, pain, and hunger. That way, I might be able to live like every other normal human being because it just felt as though I was the only one going through a difficult time in the whole of Paris.The hunger in my stomach wouldn’t back down, and eventually, I knew I had to rise up and go find myself something to eat in the kitchen.It wasn’t exactly dawn yet, but the good thing was that I could cook. Serving Mark Ronaldo and nursing him back to health for five years had bu

Never Mind

MARK“May I come in?” Reyna asked after knocking.“Of course, Reyna, you can,” I responded and Reyna walked into my office.“Is there something you need?” I asked her.“Not exactly, Mr. Mark, I only wanted to tell you that the payment has been successfully made and every man who sought a refund had gotten their monies back,” she said.I wasn’t surprised.“Didn’t you give me this information after it was done yesterday?” I asked her.“Yes, I did, but I didn’t also add that Miss Alexa will not be getting any lawsuit all because of you,” she said.Reyna was smiling and that made me slightly uncomfortable.“Did you remember to inform her secretary that it must be done anonymously?” I asked.That was what mattered to me more right now.“Yes, sir,” Reyna answered.“That’s good, because I don’t want Alexa to even have an idea that I know about what is going on with her business, much more, trying to help. You already know that she is as stubborn as can be,” I added.“Yes, Mr. Mark, I underst

The Chase

ALEXAToday being a new day, I decided to concentrate on spending time in the attic and getting rid of old and useless things.I just wanted to get my mind off two disturbing things; the harsh reality that hit after Donald Shell announced to the public of the new name he had changed the company to.Everything that had happened in the last couple of days had happened so fast that it still felt like a dream. I wasn’t doing anything about it, like fighting Donald Shell; I couldn’t anyway, but then, a tiny part of me just kept thinking that I would wake up one morning and everything would turn out to be a bad dream or a silly prank.But the information made me realize yet again that it was real.I had lost my dad’s company forever.“Forgive me, dad. Forgive me, mum,” I had pleaded and sobbed all night, even down till the early hours of this morning.It had been about three days since the news, and every time I thought about it, it still felt like it was just announced a few minutes ago, m

The Sit-down

ALEXA“Look what you have…” I started to berate Dina, who had the decency to stop and help the person she had knocked to the ground, but I stopped when I saw who it was.I stood there, shell-shocked…unable to move and breathe.“I am so sorry, ma’am,” Dina apologized.I had thought that Dina would continue making her way out of the house, and even though she had succeeded, she would have been held back by the time she got to the gate, but she didn’t. Instead, she stopped to pick up the guest who had fallen on the floor.“Weren’t you looking, and what the heck is going on here?” She asked, obviously and rightly upset from being knocked down like that. “I could have broken a bone,” she lamented further.“I am sorry,” Dina apologized again. Then she cleared her throat and said, “I will just be in the kitchen.”She wasn’t looking at me when she said that, but she was referring to me.She turned and made her way to the kitchen, and I didn’t stop her. Suddenly, I wasn’t bothered about what

Reconciliation

ALEXAI wasn’t sure I was pleased with Shirley giving out information to anyone, especially Noelle, without my knowledge and consent.“You have been in touch all this time?” I asked Noelle, trying to pretend that I wasn’t displeased, but she noticed my countenance instantly.“Listen, Alexa, I know that we haven’t been in good terms for a while now and I do have my part to blame in all this, but the truth is that I am really sorry,” Noelle went on to apologize. “But I need you to know that I am here now,” she added deeply.“Have you two been in touch all this time?” I repeated thickly.Emotions were building up inside of me and I was trying hard to fight it.“No, we haven’t,” Noelle answered wistfully when she saw that I wasn’t paying attention to what she was saying. “But as soon as I got back, she was the first person I called,” she added.“Why?” I asked.“When I left Paris with Nelson, we weren’t on speaking terms, but I can assure you that I didn’t stop thinking about you for a sin
