I Lost Him

ALEXA

I thought I was going to die right there and there; not just from seeing him, but seeing him and Ivy seated so close to each other.

“What…what is going on here?” I muttered, staring like a zombie, hoping that had been like one of the dreams I had been having about him.

I had hoped to wake up and realize that it was all a dream, but I had been wrong.

Ivy had seemed happy, and I could see her blushing stupidly.

“She is back,” Ivy had simply said dully.

It had been as though my presence made her bored. Well, we were never friends, so the feeling was nearly mutual. What I had wanted to know instantly was what the man of my dreams was doing in our living room, close to Ivy.

I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. My throat had suddenly become dry. Air had suddenly deserted my lungs, and I feared that my knees would give way and I would embarrass myself by fainting.

Mark Ronaldo wasn’t even paying much attention to me I had been paying to him. It was as though he was

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Bruised Ego

    MARK“Are you going to sign this one?” Vector asked me.“No, I will not,” I simply answered and I meant it. “But why not?” Vector asked, sounding perplexed. “You clearly do not love her, Mark, and you were not even committed to the marriage, so why not just let her go? You burnt the first papers, and now you don’t want to get this one signed?” Vector prodded.“Whose side are you on?” I fired at Vector, glaring at him.He knew I did not like it when people questioned my choices and decisions and yet he always tried to do it.“I am on your side,” Vector said.I shook my head. “No, you are not, because if you were, we would not be having this damn conversation,” I said.“I am on your side, Mark,” Vector insisted. “And that is why I feel like the best thing to do is sign the divorce papers and let her go once and for all. You love Ivy and she is the woman you love, so divorce Alexa and be with Ivy fully,” Vector said.Somehow, his words only aggravated me.“Do you know how insulted I fee

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Just Say The Words

    ALEXAAfter we have had something to eat, Noelle dragged me to her living room, and I groaned, because I thought she wanted us to watch something on TV together.Frankly, I wasn’t in the mood for that. I haven’t even been in the mood for anything lately.“Noelle, can I just go to bed?” I asked even though it wasn’t even dark yet.“No, you can’t,” Noelle refused adamantly.Her apartment was large and comfortable; Noelle’s parents were wealthy, and because she insisted on living alone, her dad had bought her the apartment as her birthday gift. As we sat in the living room, I expected her to switch the channels to her favorite, but she didn’t.“I wanted us to discuss about you, Alexa,” Noelle said, making me surprised.“What about me? Are you about to ask me to leave?” I asked.Noelle laughed briefly and shook her head. “You know I would never do that, but you have been beating yourself up since your dad asked you to leave the house, and I have watched you soak yourself in guilt over wha

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Long Time No See

    IVY I patiently waited for the girl I had done the business with at a lounge that I was certain few or no one would even recognize me, and soon enough, she sashayed into the lounge.“You are right on time,” I told her the moment she sat down on the other table that I had paid for us.“I don’t joke with my business,” she said. “Of course you don’t,” I also said.Then I pulled out an envelope from my purse and gave it to her; it was the rest of the payment upon our agreement. If she succeeded in getting the job done, she would be paid in full, but if not, she would forget that we ever met.She had gotten the job easily and perfectly, and if I was such a generous being, I would have given her a hefty tip.“That is what I owe you,” I told her as she glanced into the envelope. “As agreed, our deal is done and sealed, and we owe each other nothing, so I never knew you and you never met me. Understood?” I asked her, wanting to be certain that we were on the same page.“Understood,” she ans

    ALEXA“He what?!” Noelle’s voice was pitch high, almost bursting my eardrums. “That asshole has got some balls!” She emphasized.“Yes, he definitely has,” I admitted calmly.“And why are you so calm about it?” Noelle asked, looking at me with both shock and suspicion.“Because two mad girls cannot sail a ship, Noelle,” I simply said.I understood Noelle’s anger, and I know she would not believe that I was more upset than she was; why wouldn’t I be when I was the victim in this situation? But I decided not to even push it. This was the second divorce papers that I was sending to Mark. I never got any response for the first one which he was supposed to have signed peacefully and returned to me, so I had another one sent to him, only for us to get a message from Mark that I would have to go back to the house we both shared together for him to sign it. Noelle had been fuming dangerously, and as a result, I had to suppress my anger so that we would not bring down the roof.“He is a jerk,”

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Very First Time

    MARKI knew Alexa would come. I fucking knew it!I sipped from my glass of wine in satisfaction as my butler informed me o Alexa’s presence. Thankfully, I was doing some work in my study, so it was perfect timing.“Bring her here,” I ordered him.Then he bowed slightly, nodded and left.Who did Alexa Silver think she was trying to divorce me as though I was a piece of trash to be tossed after being used? What would the media say about me? “Come in,” I said when I heard a gentle knock, knowing that it was Alexa, and she opened the door and walked right in.Then my breath stopped for a minute; damn, she was freaking breathtaking.Seeing her at Dancing Devils had been enticing, but right now, she was gorgeous and sexy as hell. I never saw Alexa dress like this when we still lived together, and now, seeing her beautiful and radiant she looked, something stirred in my pants, for the very first time.“May I?” Alexa asked when I just sat there and stared.Then I cleared my throat and shook

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Last Laugh

    ALEXAI didn’t see the kiss coming, and so before I could away, I was already soaked in it. Mark pried my mouth open with his tongue to gain access into my mouth and I allowed him. And I kissed him right back.It felt good. It felt perfect. It felt amazing!We were married for five years, and who would have thought that Mark and I never kissed each other? I guess if people knew our names would be on the Guinness world record. Well, once, I had tried to kiss Mark when he was still sick and comatose, but it had just been a peck on the lips. When Mark recovered fully, he could barely look at me, talk more of physical intimacy. He rarely even slept in the bedroom that we shared together. As such, I had no idea that Mark Ronaldo was a great kisser and my entire body tingled at being deeply and passionately kissed by the one man I had ever truly loved.We continued to explore each other’s lips, kissing and nibbling, and then I felt Mark’s arousal on my belly. It became more intense as Mar

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Desperate Measures

    IVYI got dressed and headed downstairs. I ensured that I dressed up in a way that Mark liked, and also in a way that would arouse him.The only person I had told since I got back and got together with Mark that he hadn’t been able to get it up with me was my mum; she was the only one I always confided in anyway. From the sex video I sent to Alexa, she would definitely think that it was me in that video, but it wasn’t.Knowing that Mark was finding it hard to get erected with me, I had to pay someone else to get it done, and thankfully, she did a pretty excellent job.“I just have a lot on my mind going on,” Mark had often told me, but I knew they were all excuses.Before the accident, he could barely get his hands off me. We were always wrapped up in each other’s arms, but now, it seemed as though I was no longer attractive to him. So if Mark couldn’t get erect for me, how did he do it with Alexa? I confronted him about it, and he didn’t bother to deny it, which meant that it was tru

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Something Isn't Adding Up

    MARKStaying in my study and soaking myself in work was just my only way to cope with the divorce and everything that happened that day.Truly, Alexa was nothing like I knew before.My worry now talking about it to anyone, especially that friend of hers. I tried to imagine Alexa telling Noelle how she allowed me to kiss her and then ended up not liking it, and of course, they would giggle over it and make jest of me, and if I was unfortunate, it would get to the blogs, and I would be doomed forever.Jeez!I couldn’t even bring myself to telling Vector what happened. When he had asked, I had simply told him that the divorce was finalized and I had set Alexa free, but deep inside, I knew exactly what I was feeling. Deep down, I wished I hadn’t set her free.“Is my kissing terrible?” I asked myself.I hadn’t been able to do much since I sat on my chair for hours now, because Alexa’s hurtful words kept playing in my head, and it was making me sick to my stomach. Damn, I had my first kiss

    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

    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
