ALEXAI waited for Mark for another one hour before freshening up and heading downstairs. I tried not to be disappointed, but deep down, I was.“He is not your lover, Alexa. He doesn’t owe you anything,” a voice in my head reminded me.But I couldn’t stop to wonder if he had run back into the arms of Mona.First of all, the call when we were having a good time last night. Secondly, the way he had picked up his cell phone before walking out of the room. And now, he had spent more than two hours since he left.It was more than one hour ago that I called him, and he assured me that he was going to be here soon, but till this very moment, there were no traces of Mark Ronaldo.“How did I go back to believing Mark?” I asked myself as disappointment washed over me. “Time and time again, he has shown me that he is not reliable, but I keep going back to trust him. It must have been the horniness…”It was easy for me to blame it on being constantly horny because I couldn’t think of any reason w

ALEXAThree hours later and Mark still hadn’t arrived. I tried not to let it get to me, but I just couldn’t.“He doesn’t owe you anything, Alexa,” a voice in my head kept telling me each time my anger and frustration kept rising.“Lunch is ready, ma’am,” Lora told me.I had had to have brunch without Mark even though I thought that he was going to be here way before that time.Brunch was over about two hours ago.It was time for lunch now, and yet, no traces of Mark Ronaldo.“Would you like to come to the dining table or do I have to bring it here?” Lora asked me.Since I came downstairs, I hadn’t gone back to the bedroom.I kept telling myself that I wasn’t waiting for Mark’s return, but a part of me knew that I remained in the living room watching meaningless shows that I had no interest in with my eyes constantly glancing towards the front door, hoping that Mark would walk in any minute.But that hadn’t happened.“Why don’t you hold on for a few more minutes, Lora?” I asked her in

ALEXAHis gaze was so daring that I became more uncomfortable and a little scared.“I…I don’t know what you are talking about,” I lied, stuttering a little.I had no idea how I managed to still have the courage to lie to his face, but those were the words that came out of my mouth, and of course, he didn’t believe me.“Alexa,” he called a little warningly.He called my name as though he had known me for a really long time, and somehow, he reminded me of Donald Shell, and that was enough to send shivers down my spine.The cops noticed his tone and how uncomfortable I was, and they decided to step in quickly.“Sir, I think you need to leave,” one of them said tightly.Doctor Lionel didn’t turn to look at the cop who had spoken to him. Instead, he kept his gaze firmly on me, but he had softened his gaze now.“Do you want me to leave?” He asked me calmly.Of course I wanted him to leave!I didn’t want him here to begin with. If I had known that he had come because of Ivy, I wouldn’t have

MARK“Mark, you haven’t answered my question,” Mona said, following me downstairs.“And I will not, Mona. I have every right not to answer your question,” I responded fiercely.I hated the fact that Mona had now made my house unbearable for me. The entire day, she had stayed here and I hadn’t been this miserable and frustrated in a really long time. I could only imagine how it would have been if I had spent the night here with her.If Alexa hadn’t called, I probably would have slept here.“Are you in love with Alexa? Is she the reason why you don’t want to love me in return or take responsibility for your baby?” Mona pushed stubbornly.By the time I got to the foot of the stairs, I was already livid.I swirled around and faced Mona angrily.“Listen, Mona, I am not going to answer questions I don’t want to answer to,” I said.“That means it’s true,” Mona said as realization dawned on her. “If you are avoiding the conversation this much and refusing to answer a simple question, it means

ALEXA“Did you enjoy dinner, ma’am?” Lora asked me.“Yes, I did,” I answered.I was certain that the food was good because since Lora got here, she had always made delicious meals, only that I was so pissed off that I didn’t feel the taste of the food in my mouth. It was as though I was shoving dust down my throat.But I couldn’t tell Lora that because it wasn’t her fault.I was pissed off.All day, Mark Ronaldo neither showed up nor called.Was he looking for an opportunity to leave?Since I accepted Mark back into my life, there hadn’t been anything sexual between us. Not even a relationship. Even though we didn’t categorically state it, we both knew that we weren’t back together; it was all for the baby.Thinking of it now, Mark and I never really dated.In Toronto and a few weeks after we got back, it was just sex. There was never a relationship definition, and it was just the same as what was happening right now. If I hadn’t called Mark last night, he wouldn’t have spent the nigh
