MARK

“What do you mean by that?” I asked him.

His voice sounded deep and dreadful and it sent shivers done my spine. It wasn’t really about the words in particular, but the way he said it.

“There is always more to it than meets the eye, Mark. Just be careful around him,” Mr. Gerald said and walked away.

When he walked away, I almost began to dwell on the thought, but I quickly pushed it off my thoughts. Mr. Gerald wasn’t worth it.

He was hurt and pained that his sins had caught up with him, and

Mark is weak, like stepsis', walking away when he should stay and play thr cards on the table. He hasn't told Alexa what reveals have changed his mind. She's probably thinking that he wants to renew her as a servant.

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The More Reason To Be Worried

    ALEXAOne of the cops drove us to Vector’s house. While Reyna sat in front, Noelle and I sat at the back.Noelle held me closely as though I would collapse if she didn’t. Well, I couldn’t even tell her not to because I needed someone close to me right now.“You have to try to stay calm, Alexa,” Noelle told me in a calm and low voice. “I am sure that this is just a mix up and he is fine,” Noelle added.Even though Noelle was worried and scared as well; although not even close to how I was feeling, she also seemed calm at the same time.Well, I didn’t expect her to be this frantic.She wasn’t the one in love with Mark Ronaldo and carrying his child, and she certainly didn’t know what it felt like to lose a loved one...that was probably why she couldn’t understand Nelson’s grief; not that I would ever say that to her anyway.But I have lost two people I loved deeply.First, it was my mum. The pain didn’t cut deep because I was very young when she passed, but till this very moment, I stil

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   The Fear Of Losing Him

    ALEXA“What happened?” I asked Reyna for the umpteenth time.“Alexa, you need to calm down because of the baby,” Noelle told me with deep care and worry because she could already see how agitated I was.My chest was going up and down too fast.The thought of Mark getting hurt scared the heck out of me.“Reyna, please, you don’t have to say anything right now,” Noelle told Reyna.I swirled around and faced Noelle.“Why would you tell her that?” I asked Noelle, my anger rising even though she was only looking out for me. “Didn’t you hear what she said about Mark missing?” I demanded from Noelle again.“I heard that, Alexa, but we cannot have that handled if you are like this,” Noelle answered. “For heaven’s sake, think about the health of your baby. The doctor did tell you not to get worked up, especially emotionally,” she added.I didn’t like Noelle’s words even though they were right.Anyway, I forced myself to take quick deep breaths, and when I was done, I turned to Reyna. I was sti

    IVY“Why is he taking so much time? Where has he gone?” I asked myself as I began to feel too lonely in the cabin.I even dozed off after forcing those half-cooked vegetables down my throat, and now that I was up, he still wasn’t back.“Who just leaves without telling anyone where they are going to?” I grumbled to myself.There was no one to answer the questions in my head and I didn’t have the answers myself. I thought of going out to check, but then I recalled that he asked...no, firmly instructed me not to go out of the cabin.The doors were locked.Not sure of what to do, I got up and began to walk around.From the window, I could tell that it was getting dark outside.“I can’t believe I am going to spend the night here...and maybe many other nights,” I muttered to myself.Tears gathered in my eyes almost immediately.This wasn’t the plan and I wasn’t happy about it.Yes, I was curious to meet and know the man who gave birth to me, but it didn’t mean that I was ready to live with

    ALEXA“Alexa, you still haven’t decorated the nursery,” Noelle told me hours later.It was almost evening now and soon enough, Lora would be back with dinner. It felt as though eating was the only thing I did now, and sleeping as well, and I could tell that my stomach was an inch bigger every passing hour.Standing in front of the mirror some minutes ago, I saw a completely different person.“I know,” I responded.I had woken up from my third nap in the day and had come out of the room to look for Noelle, only to find her in the baby’s room, staring at everything that had been bought but yet to be unpacked and arranged.“Why not?” Noelle asked. “These things have been here for God knows how long,” she added.“I know that, Noelle,” I repeated.“Then why haven’t you decorated?” Noelle asked me, and almost immediately, her tone softened. “Are you too heavy to do it?” She asked me further with deeper concern.“No, Noelle, that’s not it,” I responded.“Then what has been stopping you?” Noe

    IVYA plate of chopped vegetables landed in front of me. With the way Jack threw it, everything almost spilled out of the plate.I stared at it in horror.“What the heck is this?” I asked him.“Lunch,” he responded stiffly.Since I got here, the only thing I had taken was water and I was surprised that he had chosen to serve me with this.“I can’t eat these!” I said with utter dissatisfaction. “They are not even well cooked,” I added.He turned and glared at me.“Well, that’s all you can get here, Ivy,” he said with a sneer.“Don’t you have anything else like a real food?” I asked him with horror.There was no way I could feed on these and be satisfied. They didn’t even look enticing.They almost reminded me of the poor food that was being served at the mental home, only that these were vegetables and not real food.My stomach was already rumbling with hunger.I hadn’t had anything good to eat the entire day and I was beginning to feel it in my stomach. If I was still in Gloria’s apar

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Confessions At The Table

    ALEXALora served Noelle and me lunch and we both ate in silence. I noticed that Noelle had been sober and dull.Since the last conversation we had, she hadn’t said much. It just seemed like she was walking around the house carrying a badge of sadness.I appreciated the fact that she was here, but then again, I preferred it when Noelle was her lively and bubbly self.“Have you heard anything from Nelson?” I asked Noelle, breaking the long silence between us.We were almost done eating anyway.Noelle shook her head sadly.“Have you tried to call him?” I asked her further.“Several times, but it keeps going to voicemail,” Noelle responded.I could feel the deep sadness in the sound of her voice and I felt for her. It was obvious that she really loved Nelson and was looking forward to ending up with him.For the first time, I was seeing Noelle broken by a love that seemed to be going through its own challenges.Noelle never understood what it had felt like to be in a situation like this.
