Till Divorce Do Us Part Painful Rejection
ALEXANoelle and I finished from the press office where we went to get my brand name registered and labeled.We had eventually come to the conclusion of “Alexa’s Touch On Men – ATOM” and it was just perfect! I could rarely wait for the launch now as we had been able to achieve a lot over the last couple of days. Almost everything was set. We had been able to book the hall for the launch party and contacted vendors and event planners to help fix the event.“I just want everything to be perfect,” I told Noelle over and over again.“And it will be, Alexa, relax,” she said, chuckling.The day before, Alexa and I arranged the invitation boxes in a grand and stylish way, and according to our guest list, sent them out through a courier service.“If we must get these billionaires to attend and sign me for contracts aside from your dad’s influence in getting them there, then the invitation must be something that would soothe their pride and status,” I had told Noelle.“Of course,” Noelle had

ALEXAThe tears flowed freely, and even when Noelle came over to me and joined me on the floor to console me, I could not stop crying.“He rejected my invitation, Noelle,” I said amidst the tears and bitterness.“You are going to hurt yourself if you continue crying like this,” Noelle said, her voice filled with pity and sympathy towards.I had been skeptical about sending an invitation to him because I was scared and worried about being turned down, but I had no idea that it would hurt me this much. My heart was broken into several tiny pieces, and my throat was tight.“I can’t stop crying,” I told Noelle as more tears flowed. “What if he never forgives me? What if I have lost my dad just because of one reckless night at the club?” I asked, my voice breaking as I cried profusely.Noelle figured that if she continued talking, it would likely fall on deaf ears, because she could feel my pain and brokenness from my tears and the sound of my voice. So instead, Noelle gathered me in her a

ALEXAA few years back, shortly after the doctor announced that Mark had woken up from his coma and I had happily announced to dad and Clara about the good news, I had received a call from Clara.It had been a surprise, because Clara never called me, and the first thought that had come to my mind was that something was wrong with my dad.“Clara?” I had answered the phone with a dreadful anticipation.“Where are you?” Clara had asked, sounding displeased over the phone, which wasn’t new, because she had never masked her dislike towards me, even in the presence of my dad.“At home, fixing the house and making arrangement for Mark’s return home,” I had answered innocently.Indeed, right after Mark woke up, he had demanded to be taken out of the hospital; he had wanted to continue his treatment from the comfort of his mansion, and away from the nosy eyes of bloggers and gossips.Unfortunately, I hadn’t been right there when he had woken up; I had gone for a quick grocery shopping for the

ALEXAHow could I have said no to Clara’s demands when her threats were real? How could I not bow to what she and Ivy wanted when everything my dad ever built was hanging on the line?How couldn’t I be considerate?I had agreed painfully, even though it shattered my heart, but I had hoped that Mark would not want Ivy anymore. At least, if he pushed her away, then it would no longer be any fault of mine.“Let’s go to the hospital together and get this over and done with,” Clara had stated firmly.I had swallowed hard and nodded.Maybe I should have been bold enough to tell my dad the kind of woman Clara was, especially the first time I had found out that she was cruel and dangerous, but I just couldn’t. I was too scared and worried about my dad. He had been so lonely and unhappy, and being around Clara drove all that loneliness away.How could I break his heart like that, but now, I was suffering the brunt of my decisions to stay quiet.“I can’t wait to see Mark!” Ivy had squealed in d

ALEXA“All this happened?” Noelle jumped up from the bed, astonished.She could barely believe what I just narrated to her, and I understood her shock, because despite our closeness, I decided to keep this part of it from her.“Yes, it did,” I answered sadly.“And you kept it all away from me?” Noelle asked.“I was too ashamed to tell you,” I told Noelle as fresh wave of tears spilled down my cheeks. “You warned me against marrying Mark and playing maid after Ivy dumped him, besides, it was Ivy he chose and not me, but I didn’t listen. I stubbornly went ahead and married a man in his sick bed without his knowledge and took care of him dutifully, but it was because I loved Mark genuinely,” I added.“You have always loved Mark Ronaldo, and he is the wrong man for you, Alexa, but you still should have told me,” Noelle insisted, feeling sorry for me and angry about what I just told her.“I was just too ashamed, especially when he looked into my eyes and denied me, Noelle. It hurt like hel

MARK“How does the invitation make you feel?” Vector asked me.Well, Vector was a friend of mine. My best friend, in fact, but that did not mean that I would tell him everything, or exactly how I felt.I was a man of great pride, and that was because it was a common trait in the Ronaldo lineage.“You are a man, and your ego is all that you have. It is what the men in this family are known for, and it is the only thing you have to hold onto,” my dad had told me several times when he was alive.Every single male in the Ronaldo’s family had been known for their untamable pride and ego, and my dad had ensured that he put it inside of me before he died. There was no room for anything called emotions or sympathy or sentiments.“No one ever owns and runs an empire when they have the heart of a woman,” I had often been told, especially when I told over the family business.And in truth, neither of his words had been wrong for any reason. While some of the CEO sons I had grown up with had allow

IVYI had been giddy and elated since Mark asked me to be his date to Alexa’s launch, and I could not contain my excitement.“Hello,” I spoke into the phone as soon as the call connected. “Miss Ivy, it is so good to hear from you,” my stylist answered from the other end of the phone.She was one of the most expensive and stylish female stylists in the entire city, and because of who I was, it was only logical that she became my personal stylist as well. If female celebrities and high class women in Paris were making use of her services, then why shouldn’t I? Besides, since I started to hang out with Mark Ronaldo, even before the accident, it was only reasonable to use stylist such as herself.If Alexa had decided to become a female stylist, she would have failed woefully, because she would never have come any close to my stylist, and that was all the consolation I needed.“Yes, it is,” I said happily. “I need a custom-made dress,” I told her, not wanting to waste too much time over t

IVYThis was the second time I was getting a call from Oscar after the visit he paid to me unexpectedly when I had spoken with the girl I set up with Mark.As I waited for him at the hotel room that he said he paid for us to meet, I wondered if I was doing the right thing or not. In truth, I only accepted to meet with Oscar because he was gradually becoming a pest. Fine, after the time we spent together out of Paris, I had thought that he would stay away like he did when I got together with Mark before the accident. The last thing I needed right now was a clingy ex-lover, especially as things seemed to be working our way.Thankfully, Oscar was smart enough to pick a very cheap and private hotel. Usually, I would have been disgusted by the fact that he was choosing a cheap hotel, but then again, Oscar was just being as careful and smart as I would be.No blogger would think to go anywhere close to a cheap hotel, because they knew that rich, powerful, and influential people would never

Till Divorce Do Us Part A Stubborn Thought
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

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

ALEXAThe launch party had actually turned out to be better than I envisioned it to be, especially when Ivy tried to ruin it for me and ridicule me. By the time the party ended and Noelle and I found our way home, half of the men we invited had already booked a contract with me.“ATOM to the world, Alexa!” Noelle yelled in pure delight as we entered the living room.It was almost midnight and I was exhausted as could be, which was why Noelle’s enthusiasm surprised me greatly. I began to walk up the stairs with the intention to get to the bedroom, take a warm bath, and just sleep off the stress until dawn without thinking or worrying about anything else.At least, I still had a couple of days before I officially began working as a brand owner.“Where are you going?” Noelle asked and I managed to stop and turning around.I could not help the look of astonishment that filled my face when I saw Noelle holding a bottle of champagne and two wine glasses.“Gosh, no please,” I literally plea

IVY“Oscar!” I called in a whisper the moment I caught sight of him rounding the corner.It was a good thing that Mark was very engrossed in talking to the gentleman that he did not notice my reaction to seeing Oscar beside Alexa and hearing them both say that they were now together.I could have sworn that my heart exploded in that moment, and since then, I had been looking for every opportunity to talk to Oscar. I could not help it even if I wanted to. Fortunately, Mark had gone to use the restroom, and I hoped that he would stay there longer.Oscar turned and the moment he saw me, he walked to me with a cynical smile on his face.The corner we stood was very private and secluded, so no one would actually notice that we were standing and talking there. More so, these wealthy and influential men had no business sniffing their noses in places like this, and they were all carried away with trying to get a contract with Alexa or just mingling.Damn, I could not have hated Alexa more tha

MARKI thought my heart would explode when the young man appeared right beside Alexa and made that statement.At first, Alexa did not say a word, and I thought it was a silly prank, but I was wrong.“Yes, he is with me,” Alexa nodded in agreement.The other gentleman chuckled uncomfortably. It was obvious that he was lusting after Alexa earlier regardless of the fact that he was standing with another woman, which was very disgusting by the way, but now, he seemed flushed and disappointed. Well, I hoped that my own reaction to his was masked, because I would hate for people to think that I was affected by Alexa being with another man, especially after flaunting another woman.“Great news!” The gentleman said a little too loudly. “Women need men in their lives, especially those who run a business like this one,” he said, almost sounding dumb.I knew men like him; they had wives at home and also mistresses, but they were never enough for them. As many times as possible, they always wante

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

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

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
