Till Divorce Do Us Part Marry Me
IVYAs I drove down to Mark’s house, the thought of the shared invitation card lingered in my mind. How could I have been so foolish as to have left it there? Fine, I didn’t exactly leave it there, but if I wasn’t in a haste to get far away from Oscar, I would have actually taken my time with picking up the contents of my bag that had fallen.“How could you let this happen?” I berated myself.In the box Alexa sent to people she wanted to attend her launch party, she included an extra invitation, because she knew that the men might want to either come with their wives or mistresses. “Why the heck did she even invite Mark?” I asked myself angrily.Alexa was nothing but an opportunist. She had always been a sneaky girl, and the only person who knew her exactly for who she was were myself and my mum. First of all, she swindled her way into Mark’s life, knowing that we were engaged to be married. After I was able to get her to leave Mark, she goes ahead with a bloody launch party.“Men’s

ALEXAThe day for my fashion brand launch party was finally here!I could hardly stay still as Eva did the final fittings on the most beautiful dress I had ever seen, and even better, I was wearing it. Indeed, I argued with Noelle about being the best dressed female even though it was my own show, but now, I could see that she was right.Noelle was always right about everything.Goodness, with how beautiful I looked just staring at the mirror, and Eva wasn’t even done yet, I wanted to hug and kiss Noelle for being my stone of support, and for not letting my own thoughts get the better part of me.“Please, try and stay still,” Eva said gently and professionally.One thing I noticed about her was how much she had been in her best effort to impress me, and I wondered if it was naturally her work ethic, or she was just doing this because of my perceived new status.“How did Ivy take it when you told her that you couldn’t make her dress?” I had to ask.When Eva had told Noelle and I that s

ALEXAMy whole world crumbled right in my very eyes as I saw the news and the picture of the engagement right.“I have always known that Mark Ronaldo is an asshole,” Noelle was speaking angrily. “How can he just move on with Ivy after everything you did for him? Gosh, he is such a blind bat,” Noelle added.“Noelle, please, I want to be alone,” I said, my voice almost coming out in a whisper, and that was because I was trying not to shed the tears that were threatening to come.“Alexa, this is not the time for you to go all mushy and heartbroken and emotional,” Noelle said motivationally. “I am certain that they wanted you to feel this way, which was why the announced the damn engagement yesterday evening, a day before your big day. You must never allow that to happen. I only showed this to you because you insisted that Mark could bring Ivy along, and knowing that cunning stepsister of yours, I knew that it would eventually come out, and I did not want you to be taken unprepared,” Noel

MARK“You look dashing, honey,” Ivy purred as we met in the living room. “And we look perfect together,” she added with a smile on her face.It was time for Alexa’s party, and although Ivy’s dress looked fabulous and it was fitting for what I was also wearing, especially with the fact that we were a couple again now, I just couldn’t bring myself to feeling happy.The last twenty-four hours had been spent thinking about my choices and decisions.“Are you sure you really want to marry Ivy, especially with the fact that you have a sexual condition, and worse, thoughts of another woman in your head?”I had continued asking myself, but then again, my inheritance and position was at stake. I had already decided that after this party, I would be returning back to work.Mr. Devon was right; if I had paid rapt attention to the company’s policies, I would have known what was at stake, and at such, I would never have allowed that divorce pull through, but then again, it wasn’t until Alexa asked

ALEXAI was about starting my speech on the stage when I caught sight of Mark and Ivy who just entered the hall. Fortunately, I hadn’t already begun, otherwise their entrance would have stalled my speech, and everyone, or most people would have noticed. They were both dressed in matching colors, an obvious indication that they were a couple, and as Ivy clung dearly to Mark’s side, they almost looked like a pair made in heaven.Anyway, I had to quickly remind myself that I was on the stage, and that every prominent man in the hall were here because of me, waiting to address them. Whatever I would say now would determine if all this was worth it or if I was going to sink, and I reminded myself that I didn’t want to sink at all.“Good evening gentlemen and their ladies,” I started after taking a few deep breaths. I had already determined in my heart not to look in Mark and Ivy’s direction so that I wouldn’t lose focus. If I was to do this, I would have to do it well. “Thank you all for

ALEXAI went right into the dressing room, panting like a deer that had just completed a marathon. My heart was thumping really fast and my head was beginning to bang loudly.Noelle came in almost immediately.“Alexa, I am so sorry,” she said instantly. “I tried to prevent the coordinator from allowing her say a single word, but I couldn’t, and also, I did not want to give the crowd a bad impression,” Noelle explained hastily as though it was her fault.Yeah, it was because I didn’t also want to give out a wrong impression that I allowed Ivy mockingly and stylishly bully me. What she asked was a very sensitive question, and that alone was enough to ruin everything that we had both worked for. One thing that was for sure was that people were more than interested in knowing family secrets and stories. If they knew what was going on between my dad and I and why he wasn’t present, half of them might take their leave and never contact me for a business contract.“It is not your fault, Noe

MARK“Why would you do that?” I whispered to Ivy, almost angry.My voice would have been high because of how angry and disappointed I was, but I knew better than to be loud. It would draw attention to us, and it wasn’t good for my reputation. “It was just a question,” Ivy said without remorse.“This isn’t the reason why I allowed you to come with me, Ivy. You shouldn’t have done that,” I scolded her.It had been some minutes since Alexa hurried off the stage, and even though her best friend was doing a very good job with covering up for her, I was worried about the outcome of her disappearance. I know I shouldn’t even be bothered, but I just couldn’t help it.There was something about Alexa Silver now that struck me.She was very different now. Seeing her in that dress and on stage addressing men of power, wealth, and influence intrigued me. She had now become the perfect definition of the woman of my dreams. I never knew that Alexa could be this beautiful and bold, and while she spo

IVYI wanted to scratch Alexa’s face the moment she uttered that trash from her mouth, but Mark prevented me. I did not really care about creating a scene, because I had nothing to lose, but then again, Mark had been warning me off since I asked just one question.“How dare she?” I asked, fuming.“Just behave yourself,” Mark said.He looked and sounded more embarrassed than upset, and I wondered if he was regretting the fact that I picked out our matching colors for this event.“Why do you keep taking her side over me, Mark?” I asked.It was getting on my nerves too much and I hated it. “Since we arrived you have had your eyes glued on her and everything I have done has been disgusting to you,” I complained, because it was the damn truth.“Ivy, the right thing to do at an event is to act formal and cordial, but I doubt you have any knowledge of that, seeing that you barely even attend business functions and events. The only thing you are familiar with is parties and travels,” Mark sa

MARKOnly one day at the company and one minute with the stakeholders had made me realize the depth of risk I was into. They were truly nothing but greedy and hungry men, seeking to take the company away from me.However, the fact that I was now engaged would put them on hold for now.“You should get married soon, because they would always look for ways to ensure that they get what they want, which is the company. The company’s clause is that the CEO must stay married otherwise he would be declared unfit to run the company. You have already breached that twice now. I would not advise you to do it again,” Mr. Devon had warned.“But what sort of clause is that? Why should it ever be there in the first place? What are they bloody stakeholders doing in the company?” I had asked Mr. Devon.“Now is not the time to start questioning what you cannot change,” Mr. Devon had answered tightly. “What you should be concerned about is ensuring that they have no reason to pull you out,” Mr. Devon had

ALEXA“I am sorry, I shouldn’t have just jump on you like that,” I quickly untangled myself from the hug, feeing flushed with embarrassment.“It’s okay,” Oscar said. His voice sounded calm and it made me relieved. However, he was still a stranger whom I had agreed to meet with last minute just as curtsey, and because Noelle would not have let me have peace until I accepted to have lunch with him.“Please, sit,” he offered a seat to me and I sat down almost immediately.The brunt of my encounter with my dad and Clara was still weighing heavily on my head, and just being here made me feel less sad. Also, there was something soothing about Oscar’s presence that just made me feel less horrible about everything that had happened.“Thank you,” I said.“You have been crying,” Oscar said.It was not a question but a statement of fact, one that showed that he was very observant of me, because right before I came into the restaurant, I had dried my tears. “What happened?” Oscar asked, his voi

ALEXAI wasn’t sure that this was the right thing to do, and I swallowed hard as I stood right in front of the home I grew up as a child.The week had started well enough and things were going on just fine, especially with Noelle’s help, but I just couldn’t shake off the feeling of my dad off me. I did not mean to hide it away from Noelle, but I feared that she might dissuade me from trying out my luck again.I knew that she was only looking out for me, but then again, I just couldn’t sit by and not do anything.This was the very first time that my dad and I were having such misunderstandings. We had never fought before, talk more of getting thrown out of the house, so there was no way I could just wait for him to come around. What if he never did?So I had told Noelle that I was going out on a lunch date with Oscar.It was true, because I actually sent him a text message, but I left earlier than the time I scheduled to see Oscar because I wanted to try another shot at gaining my fath
Till Divorce Do Us Part Another Failed Attempt
IVYI waited for Oscar to arrive at the restaurant that I paid for. He wouldn’t meet up at a hotel, so I decided to opt for a restaurant, and it did take a whole lot of convincing to be able to drag him out here.Well, it had been twenty minutes, and there was still no sign of Oscar.For the first time since Oscar and I got together, I became worried that he would stand me up. Oscar usually ran to me instantly, but ever since he met Alexa, he had been acting like a tough nut.“If it wasn’t for me, he would never have gotten anywhere close to Alexa,” I sulked angrily.A part of me was already feeling embarrassed that he might not show, but when I was almost giving up, I caught sight of Oscar strolling into the restaurant. Then I waved for me to notice where I was seated. It as a risky thing to meet up here, which was why I intentionally got dressed in a formal outfit, so that I could easily tell a lie if anyone saw us together.Things were looking good between Mark and I, and soon enou

MARKMr. Devon’s tone was warning and dangerous, but I was a Ronaldo, and born in us was a stronger and more dangerous blood. The company, regardless of their share and input in it, which I considered a mistake on the past after Mr. Devon explained everything to me, was still legally mine, and I would do anything possible to ensure that they never got their greedy hands on it.By the time Mr. Devon and I arrived at the conference room, the three men who were the stakeholders, Mr. Tom Hardy, Mr. Gerald, and Mr. Glazer, were already seated and waiting for me. The moment we entered, they all stood up in reference and acknowledgement to my presence. I was almost impressed at their courtesy when I remembered Mr. Devon’s words loud and clear in my head.“Don’t be fooled by their gestures, Mark. They act respectful and nice, but beneath that façade is their readiness to pounce on you and take everything that belongs to you.”When those words rang in my head, I maintained a stern face, refu

MARKMr. Devon arrived some few minutes later and I was relieved to see him, because his presence drove away thoughts of Alexa and what I wanted to do with her.“Did I keep you waiting?” Mr. Devon asked as he took his seat.“Not for long,” I answered. “I have already called for a meeting which should commence soon, but I wanted to speak to you and get clarifications on some things before we proceed to the meeting. Being that I haven’t been here physically, I do not want to go in there and embarrass myself,” I confided with Mr. Devon.He was not just the company’s advocate, he had also been a friend of the Ronaldo family for years now, so it was safe to say that he was a trusted man.“I am relieved that you heeded to my advice,” Mr. Devon said, sounding as though I should be worried or scared about something, which was just ridiculous, considering the fact that the company belonged to my family, and by extension, me.“I don’t understand why this has to be like this,” I said. “I am the

MARK“Impossible.”That was the word that kept coming to my head as thoughts of Doctor Jones’s ridiculous suggestion kept swimming back into my head. As much as I tried to dismiss it, it just wasn’t happening. The thought was taking control of my mind, especially with the dream I had about Alexa over the night.In the dream, I had been able to persuade Alexa into coming to the house. Then I had made a special dinner with flowers and candle lights, and she had been pleased. “You have never done anything like this for me before, Mark,” Alexa had said in the dream, and her voice had been soft and tender, just like I had always known it to be, but somehow, it sounded pleasantly better in my ears.“Henceforth, I am going to be doing this and a lot more,” I had promised Alexa deeply.Then we had gone ahead and talked while we ate. It had been completely different, and it had felt too real.“I tried to make our home into something like this, but you squashed my efforts the entire time,” Ale

ALEXANoelle continued to pester me about Oscar, the stranger I met at my launch party until I had no choice but to tell her everything that happened.“So from mistakenly entering into your waiting room to rescuing you from being ridiculed?’’ Noelle asked, fascinated.“And in all honesty, he helped me gain more courage and confidence to come back on stage. We just stayed back in the waiting room and talked. Noelle, he is effortlessly a good companion that took me right out of my mood,” I told Noelle.Her eyes lit up almost immediately.“Does that mean that you have met your prince charming?” Noelle asked, sounding excited.O shook her head furiously even before she could finish the question. “Don’t be ridiculous, Noelle,” I said. “I barely even know him,” I added.“Yet he made you feel better and sent you flowers,” Noelle said. “That is something that you have never received from any man before, including that ex-husband of yours who is already even engaged to someone else,” she added
Till Divorce Do Us Part The Only Solution
MARK“How is my general health condition?” I asked Doctor Jones who had come in early the next morning for my general checkup.It wasn’t the day for my doctor’s appointment, but being that I would have to return to going to the company every single day, I needed to be certain that I wasn’t putting my health at risk. The last thing I needed was fainting or passing out in the presence of everyone else.It was bad enough to ruin my reputation.“From what I am looking at, we have a little problem with your health,” Doctor Jones said and I looked at him instantly, worried and alert.“Problem? How do you mean?” I asked him, worry etched on my face. This was really the last thing I wanted to hear right now. Mr. Devon had already informed me that the stakeholders would not hold out for me any longer, especially with the fact that I was now unmarried. Besides, I really wanted to fully and completely be whole again, and the last thing I needed right now was to be told of more health challenges
