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

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“There was something off about all the things he said over lunch, Noelle,” I told Noelle as we sat at the dining table to have dinner later that day.“Really?” Noelle asked, her mouth filled with food, so much so that she would have choked if I hadn’t handed her the nearest glass of water.I had to wait for her to be stable before responding.“He mentioned places that I hadn’t been to in the last year,” I explained to Noelle. “You know that I dedicated all my time into nurturing the home that Mark and I were supposed to share as a couple. Every errand was run by the maids while I handled literally everything in the home,” I added, and it was true.Oscar had mentioned that he began noticing me a year ago, which just didn’t add up, coupled with mentioning names of places that I had not stepped foot in for a long time now.“Did you tell him that he was lying?” Noelle asked me.I shook my head. “I didn’t tell him. In fact, I allowed him say whatever he liked even though I knew he wa

MARKI had to invite Vector to be present when interviewing the potential maids even though I had already initially given the task to Ivy, which she seemed excited to do.Somehow, a part of me just didn’t trust her to do a fantastic and perfect job like Alexa would have done, and I was right, because after seeing her interview about six women, I knew that she was doing a horrible job at it.“How come she can’t even find a suitable maid for me?” I asked Vector, sounding low so that Ivy would not hear what I was saying.We were all sitting in the living room, but because my living room was spacious enough, Ivy and the women being interviewed occupied one part of the living room while Vector and I stayed at the other corner of the living room. If Alexa had been in charge, there would not even have been need for me to stick around like a supervisor. When Alexa was here, I knew next to nothing about the affairs of my home, and I never envisioned that I would be, but with the way Ivy was g

MARKI completely speechless seeing Alexa in my living room…the living room we once shared as a couple, unexpectedly.She looked downright angry, but it was nothing compared to the shock I was feeling for her unannounced visit, and I instantly began to wonder what she could be doing here.“What are you doing here, Alexa?” Ivy asked angrily and harshly.“I am not here for you, yet,” Alexa answered confidently.Each time she spoke since the divorce, she always seemed like someone who I hadn’t known, or was even married to. Alexa Silver had become a feisty woman that dominated the room that she was in, and it made me drawn to her even more. Right now, although no one knew about it, I was deeply aroused. It was a good thing that I was wearing something that prevented my arousal from being obvious.The words of Doctor Jones flashed through my head and I quickly shook my head to dismiss it. She certainly did not barge in here to let me have my way with her or experiment with her, so that w

IVYAs soon as Mark and Alexa walked out of the living room to Mark’s study, I knew that I couldn’t take it. I just couldn’t stand here and watch Alexa work her charms on Mark, even though I was angry with Mark for demanding privacy with Alexa instead of kicking her out.I began to follow them angrily, determined to disrupt whatever private meeting Mark wanted to have with her when I felt a strong arm grab my wrist.For a moment, I thought that it was one of Mark’s bodyguards, and I was ready to bite his head off when I realized that it was Vector. I had totally forgotten that he had been in the living room as well all along.“What is the meaning of this, Vector?” I asked Vector, glaring at him.“Don’t do anything stupid,” Vector said, carefully releasing my hand. “Let them be, Ivy,” Vector said.It was not a command; no, there was no way Vector would be able to command me, because he knew exactly what I held over his head, but it sounded more like a plea.“You are asking me to let th

ALEXAThe only reason I agreed to speak with Mark in the privacy of his study was simply because not only did I want answers to my question, but I also didn’t want to have to face Ivy. Seeing her face just made me very upset.Or so I told myself to make me feel less stupid for agreeing a freaking privacy meeting with Mark Ronaldo over something he could have very well answered in less than five seconds.The moment we entered the study, I was reminded of our electrifying kiss that last time I was here, and I immediately regretted my decision, but turning back now was not an option.“Can I have my answer now?” I asked Mark instantly.I did not want him to get the notion that I was enjoying being alone with him. Just as being in his study reminded me of the kiss, being here also reminded me of the years of neglect and abandonment, and not appreciating me enough.In all, I hadn’t forgotten who Mark Ronaldo was to me.“Why are asking these questions, Alexa?” Mark asked me.“I didn’t come i

MARKI could rarely believe that Alexa agreed to it. I had almost thought it was a dream, but when we went back to the living room to meet Ivy and Vector and Alexa did not walk out, I knew that she meant the acceptance.“Can she leave now?” Ivy asked the moment Alexa and I came out of my study.She looked angry and upset, but then again, she was the least of my worries. Meanwhile, Vector had a look that I could not quite explain.“No, she is not leaving now,” I answered, deliberately ignoring the look on Ivy’s face.“And why not?” Ivy asked, astonished and upset.“Because she is going to be helping me with the interview,” I announced.I had been tempted to tell Alexa about Doctor’s Jones’s prescription, but if I did, I knew that she would think I was crazy, and she would leave and never speak to me again; the Alexa I knew now was very well capable of doing that. So I decided to use her services in the area that seemed reasonable. Surprisingly, and fortunately for me, Alexa hadn’t need

Till Divorce Do Us Part Fallen Responsibility
ALEXAI remember pacing around, worried sick at the hallway while waiting for my dad to give me answers.He had only informed me about Mark’s accident without giving me details of his condition, so I had been deeply worried. Even though he was dating Ivy and already engaged to her, I was still in love with him. It was crazy, I knew, but I could not kill my feelings for him no matter how much I tried.So the thought of Mark Ronaldo being dead crumbled my heart already, and as I paced about, waiting impatiently for my dad to come out of his bedroom, I prayed fervently in my heart that he would not be dead.“How could you be so insensitive, Clara?!” It had been my dad’s scolding voice coming from his bedroom. His room door was ajar, so it gave me the liberty to eavesdrop. I had tried to peep in, but from the angle that they stood, I could not see them, so I merely listened. I hadn’t even known that Clara had gone into his bedroom.“How am I being insensitive?” Clara had asked angrily.“

ALEXA“Alexa, you need to slow down or you will pass out yourself,” Noelle said as I paced around the hallway on Mark’s private ward.I couldn’t slow down, as Noelle was asking me to, because there was so much at stake.“How can you expect me to be calm, Noelle?” I asked, almost barking at her and transferring my aggression to her. “He is not dead, Alexa, and we brought him here discreetly. All we have to do is hold on for a few more minutes to hear the doctor’s report, that’s all, but with the way you are going, you will destroy the floor in no time,” Noelle cautioned.“You have no idea what is at stake, that’s why,” I said, looking at Noelle who was sitting unbothered for a brief moment. I knew she did not like Mark at all, so maybe she shouldn’t have come with me when Mark passed out right in front of all of us without warning, because she looked so relaxed and unbothered, and it infuriated me. “If anything happens to Mark Ronaldo, I am doomed,” I told Noelle.“Stop sounding lik
Till Divorce Do Us Part Unexpected Reception
MARKI hadn’t expected to meet Alexa the mood with which I met her, considering how our last meeting had ended, and more so, with Noelle, her best friend and the one person I knew could not stand the sight of me. The first time I had met Alexa was at Mr. Silver’s birthday party, fully organized by Alexa whom I wasn’t even talking to at that time. Ivy and I had recently gotten engaged, so aside from the relationship I had with Mr. Silver, it only seemed right that I attended.I hadn’t even paid much to Alexa, because frankly, all I had wanted to do was get married to Ivy and have a good life. Her stepsister was not really a concern to me, especially as Ivy had been so bitter against her the one and only time that she had spoken about her.“Oh gosh, I can’t stand her either; always doing the most,” Ivy had hissed and rolled her eyes in disgust.I had thought that she was referring to her stepsister again, but when I looked, it had been someone else who was at the other corner of the li

ALEXAI had been devastated since I read the news. I could not believe that this could be happening after I had helped Mark to get what he wanted.I sat in my desk and tried to fight the impending tears.“It is just one customer, Alexa; do not beat yourself up about it. You still have other customers who wouldn’t be moved by what they read in the news,” I told myself, but the encouragement was not working.I was feeling so sad and dejected, and unsure of what to do. Should I call the client who pulled out personally to explain things or what should I do? I couldn’t even begin to decipher how I would be able to manage the situation. Being a woman who knew exactly how the business world worked from my years of working with my dad, I should have known that scandals are not palatable for businesses, especially ones like mine which was just starting out.My phone rang, and I thought it was Noelle, so I picked up instantly without checking who the caller was.“Thank goodness you called,” I
Till Divorce Do Us Part A Shameless Act
ALEXAThe day was already filled with a lot of work as I went through new designs and arranged my fashion catalogue. I already had a personal assistant who took care of taking bookings from my clients, so I did not need to worry about my schedule. I had a client coming in at mid noon, so while I arranged my wardrobe, I patiently waited for him.Noelle called at almost twelve; she had been at her parent’s all day. Since our argument the other day, she had simply gone over to her parent’s, because the tension had been too high. I appreciated the space, but I also felt horrible. The only thing that had kept my mind off it was work, but seeing her call now almost devastated me all over again.“Noelle,” I said into the phone. “I want to apologize for…” I started but Noelle interrupted me.“Don’t be silly, Alexa, there is no reason for you to be apologizing!” Noelle said. She sounded happy and bright, and I wondered what had changed. “Really?” I asked.“Of course,” Noelle said. “I shouldn

MARKI had an agreement with Alexa, which she stuck to, and it would only be right to do the same for her, but deep down, I knew that I wanted to stick to the agreement because I wanted to get close to her. If I did something that mattered deeply to Alexa by getting her one of the topmost clients in the city, she might feel indebted to me.So as I sat in my office, I began to make a list of wealthy and powerful men who owed me one or two favors, just for Alexa. However, Mr. Devon’s presence interrupted me.“Are we supposed to be meeting right now?” I asked him. He seemed somewhat taking aback by my question, especially with how it came out. “I just wanted to know, because I am surprised that you are here at my office,” I explained.In truth, I did not like the fact that I had been interrupted, especially at a time like this, so I wanted to know if it was important. My explanation made Mr. Devon at ease as he took his seat.“I have been thinking about our last conversation,” Mr. Devon

ALEXA“Why did you stay back and help his ass?” Noelle asked angrily.She didn’t even let me get into the house and relax before bombarding me with questions. She had been calling me nonstop as soon as I left Mark’s house, and I had to pick up and explain what happened briefly to her so that she would not blow up my phone.And now, I was having this feeling that I had made a terrible mistake.“I am tired, Noelle. Please, can we do this another time? Maybe later after I have rested,” I tried to plead with Noelle, but I already knew that it was futile, being that she was angry as hell at me.“We are having this conversation right now, Alexa!” Noelle said loudly, standing in my way and preventing me from going up the stairs. “Have you forgotten so soon what he put you through?” Noelle asked angrily.“No I haven’t forgotten,” I answered even though it sounded like a rhetorical question.How could I have forgotten what Mark Ronaldo put me through? With him, I went through the worst neglect
Till Divorce Do Us Part Brilliant Idea
IVYThe anger in me could not be contained as I drove back home.“How dare Mark treat me like that, especially in Alexa’s presence?” I fumed.Between driving and dwelling in thoughts, I could not tell which was more overwhelming. I thought of parking just to catch my breath so that I would not drive too fast or cause an accident, but I wanted to get home to my mother so badly, so I continued driving.“Something tells me that Mark invited Alexa himself but they both pretended that she came in unannounced,” I said to myself, my anger rising to the surface.I was not as stupid and naïve and Alexa, so I knew exactly when I was being played for a fool, and that was exactly what was happening right now. Mark was playing for a fool, and I would not allow it. It was already bad enough that I was at the brink of losing Oscar to Alexa, but that would never happen with Mark Ronaldo.I scoffed at the irony of the situation; first, Alexa married Mark instead of me, but I was able to get him back,
