ALEXA

Regardless of how I felt, I decided to go for the welcome dinner. I just couldn’t bail out now. As long as I was going in my car and not dependent on anyone, I felt a little better.

Besides, I could easily leave if I felt any form of discomfort, or if Donald tried anything that would make me uncomfortable.

“Hi, Alexa,” Donald greeted the moment I parked my car and stepped out of the car.

He was right there, holding a bouquet of flowers again.

I was a little shocked because I didn’t see hi

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Full Of Drama

    MARKInstead of going to my company, I went to Vector’s apartment. I didn’t even bother calling him this time around because I didn’t want it to go to voicemail or to even get excuses from him.I also didn’t care whether or not he was still upset with me.When I got to his apartment, I knocked firmly and repeatedly until Vector opened the door. Thankfully, his car was packed in his garage, so I knew that he was home.“Jeez, Mark, do you want to tear down my door?” Vector asked as he opened the door.I brushed past him and walked into his living room.“If I have to, yes,” I responded tightly.“What is going on?” Vector asked me.He still looked sleepy and tired, but I really didn’t care. What was important right now was what I was dealing with, and I expected Vector to act with the same level of urgency.“Were you sleeping?” I asked Vector.“Yes, I was, Mark,” Vector answered. “It is still early in the morning,” he added.“No, it is not, and you shouldn’t still be in bed at this time,”

    ALEXA“Hey, Alexa, I am stepping out,” Noelle told me, popping her head into my bedroom.It was still early, but I had already had a quick breakfast and freshened up.“Where are you off to?” I asked Noelle.She could tell the instant worry that appeared on my face. I still hadn’t forgotten that just the day before, she was abducted and Mark was running helter-skelter to get her out.I had told her Mark’s role in setting her free. I didn’t know what that would do, seeing that Noelle was already taking Mark’s side, but I just felt like she needed to know about it.“Relax, Alexa, I am fine,” Noelle told me, but I still didn’t feel good about Noelle going out on her own.“Let one of the cops go with you,” I suggested worriedly.“Nothing is going to happen to me and you need to stop worrying about me like I am a baby,” Noelle told me, but I didn’t listen to her.I got up from the chair I was sitting on.“Noelle, please,” I pleaded.But Noelle had this funny look on her face that I didn’t q

    IVY“Couldn’t get some sleep, huh?” Jack asked me as soon as I strolled out of the only bedroom in the cabin, yawning as though I could swallow an elephant.“How did you know?” I asked him casually.But he wasn’t wrong, though.I didn’t sleep a wink last night. I kept thinking of the fact that everyone, especially Donald Shell and Doctor Lionel, knew that I was alive.They were the two enemies I was hiding away from, but now that they had found out, I had no doubt that they would look for me.“Were you spying on me?” I asked further, trying to get the thought of my mind, but of course, it was futile.I tried to do the same all night, but nothing worked.“Your eyes tell it all,” Jack simply responded.Indeed, he wasn’t a man who took jokes, and even though I knew that now, I just couldn’t stop teasing him and upsetting him in the process every now and then.“You are right; I couldn’t sleep,” I said, standing in front of the small kitchen.Then my nose caught a sniff of a pleasant aroma

    MARK“Are you being serious right now?” I asked Mona as my anger intensified.Her words were still ringing in my head and I was really hoping that she would have been joking when she said that, but deep down, I also knew that she wasn’t.“You know me, Mark,” Mona threatened.“No one will believe you,” I responded, trying to dissuade her, but Mona chuckled drily and mockingly.“No one will believe me?” She asked, as though she couldn’t believe that I would ask such a ridiculous question. “Ever since I moved down to Toronto, the only man I have ever been seen with, especially in a romantic way, is you,” she continued. “Have you forgotten the fair?” Mona asked me.Damn.I ground my teeth in annoyance.Mona really held me at my balls. Truly, we seemed pretty cozy and in love on the day of the fair, and it was all thanks to Mona who was being overly clingy. Vector did warn me about it, but I never listened to him.Now, I was wishing that I had been obedient to Vector’s words of advices. Th

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Midnight Threat

    MARKWatching them leave was such a relief. They left in a rage, especially Mona; even if her parents tried to act calm and civilized, I could tell that they were enraged, but I was very glad that I was able to kick them out.Maybe if I had put my foot down from the very beginning with Mona, we wouldn’t have gotten to this stage.For the first time in a really long time, I was going to have a peaceful night rest, but I predicted that too soon.Almost at midnight, and just when I had placed my head on the pillow to sleep, my phone rang. It was my security.“What the heck is it?” I asked grumbly and grumpily.Unless there was a world war, he wasn’t supposed to freaking be interrupting my sleep, especially one that I had hoped to really enjoy.“Miss Mona is out here, sir,” he informed me.I sat up straighter instantly as the sleep vanished from my eyes. I wasn’t even sure that I heard him correctly.“What?” I exclaimed in shock.“Miss Mona is here to see you, sir,” he repeated, more clea

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   A Tinge Of Threat

    MARKI tried to call Vector, but his cell number kept going to voicemail.“Damn, Vector, why do you have to be unavailable now?” I asked myself in exasperation.Mona and her parents were still in my freaking living room, refusing to leave, and I didn’t know what else to do.It wasn’t even being here that made me exasperated. It was the statement from Mona’s father.“You have gotten our daughter pregnant, and the only acceptable thing to do is get married to her even before the bump starts showing.”The words were one thing, but the sound of his voice was enough to tell me that he wasn’t bluffing. I never really paid attention to the beliefs of the people from Toronto because at the time Mona and I got together several years ago, we weren’t thinking of having children, and I was still being extra careful.Vector did say that he was having dinner with Keisha’s parents, but still, I wanted him to be available for me.I was used to Vector always being at my beck and call.The fact that he

    ALEXA“As much as Alexa is the best male fashion stylist in Paris, I don’t want her services.”Those were his words, and I heard him loud and clear. This time around, it wasn’t some recorded evidence. I heard them with my own ears and I didn’t miss any words.Not that I doubted what Donald had reco
