Agreement

MARK“Brent, I want this to end as quickly as possible,” I said in exasperation as we arrived at court.It had taken longer than expected.More than a month now and the case hadn’t been closed. Apparently, Mr. Devon was even smarter than I ever thought. Representing himself had even given him more grounds than I anticipated.This was not to say that Brent hadn’t been fighting a good battle.I simply wanted this to be over and done with, and of course, have my company back.This was like a nightmare that just wouldn’t go away, and it had prevented me from moving on and even getting some contracts for my company.“Well, it seems like your wish is about to be granted,” Brent said.“You have been saying this to me for over a month now,” I reminded him.“Have you lost faith in me?” He asked me, feigning what seemed like astonishment.“No, I haven’t, but it doesn’t mean that I like the fact that this just keeps stretching,” I responded. “What are you talking about?” I asked him.“Gerald and

His certainity

MARKGerald, Tom Hardy, and Glazer came at the right time and testified against Mr. Devon.Mr. Devon was very shocked at their presence. He tried to get himself out of their testimony, but their evidence was too glaring enough that for the first time, I found Mr. Devon stuttering in court, and that made me very delighted.“The next court hearing is going to be the final court hearing. The verdict will be passed then,” we were told.I couldn’t say that I was disappointed. At least, I knew now that the whole drama was coming to an end, but then again, there was still a little bit of doubt and worry.What if Mr. Devon won at the end of the day?I had seen cases where it seemed like the case was going in favor of one person, only for the judge to turn around and give verdict in favor of the other person. I would hate for that to happen to me.“Hey, Vector, do you think you could give me the contact of the nurse you hired to oversee the wellbeing of Mr. Silver when he was alive?” Brent as

Warning Her Off

IVY“Waiting for your doctor’s appointment again?” Lina Barry asked as she appeared right in front of me.“Yes,” I responded without thinking.This time around, I was more desperate for the time of the appointment. How I was able to wait for an entire week was beyond me. Now that it was here, it was as though I couldn’t wait any further.I was simply waiting for the nurse to arrive and call me.And I didn’t notice that Lina Barry was staring deeply at me until her eyes almost bore holes in my head.“What is it?” I asked her absent-mindedly.“For weeks now, Ivy, you have been acting so desperate and eager whenever it was time for your doctor’s appointment,” Lina noted.And that was when I realized that she was going to tow that path again, and that was majorly because I was failing at hiding my desperation and eagerness. “What exactly is going on?” She asked me.“I just want to get it over and done with, really,” I responded.It was a lie, but who cared?Lina Barry sat close to me and

Friends?

MARKI arrived home later than usual because work has been very hectic and I was also thinking about the final court verdict, which was just two days away now.The closer the day drew, the more nervous and worried I became.Reyna had to leave before me because she was meeting up with Shirley, Alexa’s secretary, so that she would fill Reyna in on the funeral preparations. As long as Alexa hadn’t expressly said I couldn’t come, I would not miss it for anything in the world, only that I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere close to her.Thankfully, the verdict would have been made, regardless of whatever outcome it was, and I wouldn’t have to worry about going anywhere close to Alexa.“What a day,” I muttered to myself.I couldn’t exactly tell if I was feeling this way because of how hectic my dad had been or the fact that I couldn’t stop thinking about Alexa Silver and how desperately I wanted to see her again.“Hi, Mark,” Mona greeted.I stopped in utter shock.There she was, right in the m

Sickly Look

ALEXAI got out of the shower and proceeded to get dressed because Noelle and I were going to see Brent almost immediately, but I felt my head spinning, and if I didn’t grab the wall beside me instantly, I would have fallen to the ground.Thankfully, Noelle chose that moment to walk into the bedroom.“Alexa, oh my gosh, what’s wrong?” She asked me as she rushed to me.“Could you help me to the bed?” I requested.“Of course,” she said.And then she helped me get to the bed. I sat down, thinking that I would feel better, but I could literally feel the entire room turning upside down. Something was happening inside my head that I really couldn’t explain.“I think you should lie down,” Noelle suggested.She didn’t even give me the chance to protest or not. The moment she said that, she simply urged me into a lying position, albeit gently.“Do you need water?” She asked me.“No, Noelle, I am not thirsty,” I responded.“What about some painkillers?” She offered.“I don’t have a headache,”

Questions I Can't Answer

ALEXA“Why would we need to speak with her again?” I asked Brent, my heart beating already.“Like I said, I got in contact with the nurse, and she did say that even after she was asked not to go anywhere close to your dad, she still found her way to him,” he explained.I became confused.“I don’t understand this,” I admitted. “My dad knew what was at stake. He was aware that she might have been trying something fishy. He even filed for a divorce because he stopped trusting her,” I added. “So, why would he still allow Clara to come anywhere close to him?” I asked.It was as though I expected Brent to have answers to questions that I didn’t have.“Clara didn’t make the moves directly,” Brent said. “She knew that she wouldn’t stand a chance if she did,” he added.“So how did she go about it?” I asked.“The housekeeper, Dina,” Brent revealed.I gasped in shock.“Are you sure?” I asked him carefully even though I had already believed what he just told me.“That’s what she said,” Brent said

We Have Met Before

MARKI tried to get in touch with Noelle Vasquez after that day, but there was no way to reach her, and I didn’t know if I should have tried harder.“Miss Alexa is fine, sir,” Reyna had told me when I had asked because I was deeply worried that something might have happened to Alexa.What other reason would Noelle show up at my house?“Shirley assured me that she was feeling very good, aside from the tiredness that occasionally overwhelmed her, which is normal because she has started planning her father’s funeral in full,” she had added.That was a relief, but still, I couldn’t stop worrying and wondering, so much so that it continued to plague me even on my way to the court.Vector was sitting at the back of my car with me.“Are you still bothered about Noelle’s unexpected visit?” Vector asked when he noticed how bothered I was.“Of course, Vector,” I responded without even bothering to mask it. “Noelle hates me, Vector. I have met many people who don’t like me, but she cannot even s

Confusing Question

MARKThe memory with Noelle, which we had both sworn to bury forever, made me more confused as to why she would ever come to my house.Getting together with Alexa made her more hostile.Poor Alexa didn’t know that the major reason Noelle was fiercely against our marriage and the love that she had for me was because of what happened between us several years ago. We swore never to say it to anyone, and I was certain that we had both kept the promise.But now…“Mark, are you even still here at all?” Vector called, drawing my attention back to the present.“Yes, I am,” I lied and Vector knew almost immediately that I had lied.“I was saying that we both know that Noelle left because she saw Mona in your house, and I recall that I have actually talked to you about having her around,” Vector said carefully.“Are you berating me right now?” I asked even though that was exactly what he was doing.“No, Mark,” he lied. “I am merely pointing out why Noelle turned and left before you could even c

Game Played Differently

MARK“Why would you even think of something like that?” I asked Vector, utterly stupefied by his question.“Why wouldn’t you even think of something like that, Mark? You don’t think it’s a possibility?” He asked me.“No, I don’t think it is, and like I said before, it was just a brief kiss on the lips that didn’t mean anything,” I responded. “And in case you have forgotten, this happened years ago. Noelle doesn’t have any feelings for me, and she certainly didn’t come to my house because of a damn kiss or to confess any feelings,” I added with annoyance.We were getting close to the courthouse now and my anxiety was increasing, which was adding to the anger and confusion I was already feeling.“I was just trying to think of a reason,” Vector said calmly.“So now that that is out of the way, what could her reason possibly be?” I asked again. “I just can’t think of a reason why she would have come,” I added.“Have you tried reaching her?” Vector asked me.“I don’t have her cell number,”

My Tormentor

IVYI stayed away from everyone and starved myself for days because the dawn of every new day reminded me of the battle I had lost.For weeks, I gave in to a beast just so that I could plan an escape, only for him to take a transfer from the mental home completely.Doctor Lionel was never coming back.I was doomed.Apparently, he had been taking advantage of other women too, maybe the ones who were also as sane as I was. They could have given in to him as well because they wanted to also escape, or maybe it was just because they were starved sexually.My mission had solely been to escape.Since Oscar was murdered in cold blood, every sexual urge had died since then. He might have been the reason I was in this mess to begin with, but he was the only man that ever truly satisfied me to the fullest, or maybe it was because I was deeply and genuinely in love with him.So whatever I did was just for survival.Quite frankly, I didn’t care if he was also doing the same thing with other women
