Comparing Both men

ALEXAWalking out of the detective’s office after my statement just didn’t make me feel better, as I thought it would, and maybe it was because I only did what Donald expected of me.He hadn’t fully expressed that he wanted me to press charges, but every conversation that we had had was towards that angle, and I wondered briefly why I was interested in doing what he might have liked.Donald was right outside waiting for me.“How did it go?” He asked me instantly.“I just want to leave here. Can we go now?” I asked.“Yes, of course,” Donald said and ushered me out of the station.We got into his waiting convoy and drove out almost immediately. I didn’t want to spend another second at the station having any conversation, because deep down, I was worried that Mark would come out of the detective’s office.I just didn’t want to set eyes on him…at least not now.There was no possible way that I wouldn’t see him again, especially with the decision I made to press charges, but that would be

The Vouch

ALEXA“Should I ask him to come in?” My secretary asked when I delayed in responding.“Yes, please,” I quickly responded.Why wouldn’t I want my dad to come in? I was just shocked to my bones that he was at my store for the very first time. The last time I tried to get through to him was futile, and hearing that he was right here unexpectedly made me very nervous.I waited with bated breath for him to come in.He came in and our eyes met, and we just stood there staring at each other for what felt like eternity. There were intense emotions in his eyes that I could not even read.“Alexa…” he called through rasped breath.“Dad,” I answered, almost breathlessly. It was as though we hadn’t seen each other for eternity. The atmosphere was a little awkward, but then again, I didn’t feel the anger and disappointment he had felt about me the last time there was a rift.“Please, sit down,” I offered and he sat. Then I also sat down.One thing I noticed was that he didn’t look angry, but he l

One Man She Listens To

MARKAlexa wanted to press charges against me.It sounded so unreal even as I thought about it in my mind. Images of Alexa when we were still married flashed through my mind. She was meek and submissive. She rarely talked back at me or even had the nerve to look at me in the eye.The first time she ever displayed any level of audacity was the day that she asked for a divorce.“And that is when you should have acted very fast,” a voice in my head mocked me.It had just been the both of us that day when Alexa had blurted that she wanted a divorce. However, I allowed my ego and pride get in the way, and that was because I believed that she couldn’t stick to her words. Since I got out of coma, Alexa was always there; taking care of me, tending to my needs, ensuring the smooth running of our home, and nurturing me to sound health, and all the while, she portrayed an attribute of a calm woman who didn’t have a voice of her own.I had taken her for granted.Thinking about everything that wa

Like Father Like Daughter

MARKI stopped for a minute and wondered what the lawyer was doing coming from Mr. Silver’s office. Seeing someone like that only meant one thing; Mr. Silver was ready to either give away his company or bequeath it to someone else.I shook off the thought for a minute and proceeded to his office.“Mark Ronaldo, it is such a pleasure to see you,” Mr. Silver said as he ushered me to sit.He poured into two glasses some wine and handed me a glass.One of the men in the city of Paris that I admired a lot was Mr. Silver. We barely got to see each other often, because over the years, he had stopped attending most social functions, and also, our companies didn’t deal on the same thing. However, I had always known that he was a man of integrity and honor, which was why he never really got to the top of the business ladder.He was always so welcoming and cordial even though he might not have anything to benefit from me. It was the respect that I had for his personality and the trust in him tha

Legal Advice

MARK“Mr. Mark Ronaldo, who happened to be the savior of his ex-wife, Miss Alexa, when she was attacked, has been accused of actually perpetrating the act. Her attacker confessed to being hired by Mr. Mark Ronaldo, and Miss Alexa, although now on a tour with one of the city’s most popular pop-stars, has decided to file a case against Mr. Mark. It looks like Paris is going to have some drama when Miss Alexa gets back.”That was the blog news I woke up to. I was enraged, because the lie was spreading, and it shouldn’t be. I might have taken this whole situation for granted, but now, I realized that Alexa was more than ready for war. No one else would have released this to the pubic except her. The cops have no business engaging the blogs about what goes on in their station.“You have got to be kidding me,” I muttered to myself.This wasn’t a good dent on my image and reputation and it seemed as though my silence had been taken for granted. Initially, I didn’t take any drastic actions b

Out For Vengeance

MARKAt first, I thought that Mr. Devon was just kidding, even though I knew that he wasn’t a man that told jokes often, but when I looked at his expression, he seemed very serious about what he just said.“Why should I stay away, Mr. Devon?” I asked him.This was certainly not what I was expecting from him at all. “What you have been accused of is just as criminal as murder, or close. You have been accused of plotting with a man to attack your ex-wife, Mark,” Mr. Devon recounted.“I know what I have been accused of,” I interrupted him impatiently.I hated to get into an argument with Mr. Devon of all people, but then again, this wasn’t something that I wanted to just accept.“And I am innocent,” I added firmly.“We already established that fact, Mark, but until proven otherwise, the public does not share the same sentiment. What you should have done when Alexa decided to file a case against you is ensure that it never gets out to the public,” Mr. Devon said.“And that was because I

The Need For Ego Restoration

MARK“Why would she order for him to be released?” I asked the detective tightly.This wasn’t making any sense to me. First of all, Donald used his bloody influence and power to prevent me from seeing Oscar, which I should have fought back but I didn’t, and now, Alexa had demanded that her attacker be released?“Are you sure she wanted him to be released?” I asked again almost immediately, because I could not seem to wrap my head around it. “But she is already out of the country on tour. When did she give this order?” I questioned further.I knew that I should calm down and give him the opportunity to answer my questions, but I just couldn’t. This was not what I had expected at all.I had expected resistance, and of course, I was very ready to pull my weight, but definitely not this.“She made the request right before she went for her tour,” the detective answered.“But why would she order for him to be released?” I asked again, stirring us back to my first question.The detective shr

Gut-Wrenching

IVYI was just arriving at Oscar’s apartment when I noticed that his door was open. I didn’t even get a second to comprehend what was going on when I sensed that someone was in there was well.The situation unsettled me, and thankfully, I followed my instinct to stay off Oscar’s porch so as not to be seen. At least, it would be better to know who was in there with Oscar before showing my face, especially with the scary call that Oscar had made to me.Even now, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of dread that the call placed on me.It was easy to get away from the house, because Mr. Silver and my mum were so engrossed in their silly and annoying argument about Alexa that they didn’t even notice when I went upstairs, picked my bag, and hurried out of the house.For once, I acknowledged that their argument was a miracle to me, otherwise, my mum would have bombarded me with questions, and eventually prevented me from leaving. It didn’t matter whether Oscar was in danger or not, and even if

Start Talking, Please

MARKI paced back and forth in my living room, utterly and completely restless.Oscar is dead.“I shouldn’t have gone there. Damn, I shouldn’t have,” I kept telling myself.I had never been this restless, confused, and regretful in my entire life. The farther this whole case went, the deeper it pulled me in. I still had Alexa’s allegation file against me, and now this.It was a good thing that no one saw me there.I sighed with relief, but it didn’t stop my heart from racing. Who could have killed him? That was the most gruesome murder I had ever seen. Even after running off, I still couldn’t get it off my vision, so much so that the moment I got into the house, the first thing I did was to hurry into my bathroom and empty everything that I had eaten.Usually, violence and crime scenes weren’t my strong points, so I had been very lucky to never have to witness it.If I had known that this was the case, I wouldn’t have bothered going over to his apartment. It was barely twenty-four hour

Never Admit To Anything

MARKI kept my head bowed for some minutes, just trying to think of the next thing to do. Vector was right.I never wanted to be found in this situation, but apparently, it seemed that I would need an ally since I already involved Vector. Allegations of being paid to threaten a woman’s peace was one thing, and something that I could easily get out of, but a murder was a completely different case.And sometimes, money and influence might not help.It was even worse, more complicated and dangerous when the person who was murdered had my name in his mouth before he died. Everyone already heard what he accused me of, and if they found out that I visited him at his house, no one would believe that I already found him dead, especially as I ran off without alerting the cops.This was really a dicey situation, and never in my wildest imaginations did I think that I was going to be in this situation.All because of Alexa.Wouldn’t it be better if Vector knew about my recent obsession with Ale
