ALEXANoelle took me to the lawyer that she was certain would handle the case just well for me.“I heard he is one of the best in Paris, and if there is anything he needs to uncover, he is going to get it done in the blink of an eye,” she had told me.“Then that means he is going to cost an arm and a leg, Noelle, and you know that with everything that has happened, I really don’t have enough money to afford a high-class city lawyer,” I had responded.“I will handle the cost, Alexa, you don’t need to worry. We just need to put Clara in her place once and for all,” Noelle had told me, making me feel deeply relieved.Even though I really hated to accept favors from people, there was really nothing I could do at this point because I needed it, and thankfully, it was coming from no other person but my best friend.We eventually arrived at his office and got in.“Please have a seat and I will inform you when he is available to see you both,” his personal assistant told Noelle and me.We sat

MARKThe second court hearing went almost smoothly. Mr. Devon was good at defending himself, but Brent came fully prepared as well. It seemed like it was a real battle in the courtroom, and by the time the case was adjourned, I felt deeply relieved.“I really wish that this would be over sooner,” I told Brent as we got out of the courtroom.Mr. Devon’s wife and son seemed more devastated than the last time I saw them, and as advised by Brent, I tried to keep my eyes away from them. However, as soon as the court case was adjourned, they were quietly escorted out of the premises by Mr. Devon’s driver.“I would have loved to tell you that this would be over soon, but I cannot guarantee that,” Brent told me. I sighed deeply.The whole situation was taking its toll on me, especially as I couldn’t get the fact that Mr. Devon, a man my dad trusted completely and I also trusted, actually attempted to murder me out of my head.The thought of it still scared me.“As long as Mark is going to

ALEXASeeing Mark Ronaldo after a really long time shook me to the core, more than I even expected.As I walked away from Gerald’s small company, my chest kept beating rapidly. I had thought that I wouldn’t be moved. Heck, I never even imagined that I would have to set my eyes on him again.Seeing him at Mona’s new gift store was hurtful but definitely not this much because I saw him from a distance, but seeing him so closely that if I had just stretched my hand, we would have touched.I had felt his nearness, his presence, his smell, and my entire body had been affected by it, and that made me even more frustrated.“Miss Alexa?” Shirley called.After leaving Gerald’s small company that he ran with his two friends, I had gone to my apartment where I was handling my business for now to meet Shirley so that I could finalize their business deal for the week.I wanted to get it over and done with so that I would be able to concentrate on the case with Clara before they would need my serv

MARKMr. Devon had been nothing short of the devil himself.All this time, and till the very moment that everything got revealed, Sydney Bowman had been working as the company’s accountant.Mr. Devon faked a firing letter, making my dad believe that he was truly fired. Meanwhile, Sydney Bowman had been out there stealing more money for himself and Mr. Devon and using it to build his business.“Would you be willing to come out and testify in court?” I had asked them.Even though they had already confessed to this, I still couldn’t use it against Mr. Devon or Sydney Bowman. They would have to agree to want to publicly testify against him for them to pay for what they had done.They had stared at each other after the question.“We will have to think about it, Mark,” Tom Hardy had been the first to speak.I was a little bit disappointed because I thought that they would jump at the offer.“You all said a while ago that you could not wait to see Devon Charles paying for what he did,” I tri

ALEXAMy heart was beating rapidly. “I can’t breathe, Noelle,” I managed to tell her.My chest was heaving so fast that it was almost impossible to breathe. It was as though the movement in my chest was too fast that my lungs couldn’t take in air.“Hold on, Alexa!” Noelle said.She hastily got out of the car and came over to my side of the car, and then she held my back with one of her hand while she held my chest with the other.“Just breathe, Alexa, slowly…” Noelle urged me calmly.Her hands on me were like magic. It was as though she was steadying the speed in my chest and creating space for my lungs to be able to take in breath.“Gentle, Alexa. Don’t force it. Just take it one breath at a time,” she continued to urge me.I didn’t fight Noelle’s help.Instead, I succumbed to it and even listened to her deeply. Slowly, my rapidly beating heart began to slow down a little.Noelle didn’t let go of me until I was breathing properly.“Gosh, Alexa, you scared me,” Noelle said, sighing w
