MARKGerald, Tom Hardy, and Glazer came at the right time and testified against Mr. Devon.Mr. Devon was very shocked at their presence. He tried to get himself out of their testimony, but their evidence was too glaring enough that for the first time, I found Mr. Devon stuttering in court, and that made me very delighted.“The next court hearing is going to be the final court hearing. The verdict will be passed then,” we were told.I couldn’t say that I was disappointed. At least, I knew now that the whole drama was coming to an end, but then again, there was still a little bit of doubt and worry.What if Mr. Devon won at the end of the day?I had seen cases where it seemed like the case was going in favor of one person, only for the judge to turn around and give verdict in favor of the other person. I would hate for that to happen to me.“Hey, Vector, do you think you could give me the contact of the nurse you hired to oversee the wellbeing of Mr. Silver when he was alive?” Brent as

MARKI arrived home later than usual because work has been very hectic and I was also thinking about the final court verdict, which was just two days away now.The closer the day drew, the more nervous and worried I became.Reyna had to leave before me because she was meeting up with Shirley, Alexa’s secretary, so that she would fill Reyna in on the funeral preparations. As long as Alexa hadn’t expressly said I couldn’t come, I would not miss it for anything in the world, only that I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere close to her.Thankfully, the verdict would have been made, regardless of whatever outcome it was, and I wouldn’t have to worry about going anywhere close to Alexa.“What a day,” I muttered to myself.I couldn’t exactly tell if I was feeling this way because of how hectic my dad had been or the fact that I couldn’t stop thinking about Alexa Silver and how desperately I wanted to see her again.“Hi, Mark,” Mona greeted.I stopped in utter shock.There she was, right in the m

ALEXA“Why would we need to speak with her again?” I asked Brent, my heart beating already.“Like I said, I got in contact with the nurse, and she did say that even after she was asked not to go anywhere close to your dad, she still found her way to him,” he explained.I became confused.“I don’t understand this,” I admitted. “My dad knew what was at stake. He was aware that she might have been trying something fishy. He even filed for a divorce because he stopped trusting her,” I added. “So, why would he still allow Clara to come anywhere close to him?” I asked.It was as though I expected Brent to have answers to questions that I didn’t have.“Clara didn’t make the moves directly,” Brent said. “She knew that she wouldn’t stand a chance if she did,” he added.“So how did she go about it?” I asked.“The housekeeper, Dina,” Brent revealed.I gasped in shock.“Are you sure?” I asked him carefully even though I had already believed what he just told me.“That’s what she said,” Brent said

MARKThe memory with Noelle, which we had both sworn to bury forever, made me more confused as to why she would ever come to my house.Getting together with Alexa made her more hostile.Poor Alexa didn’t know that the major reason Noelle was fiercely against our marriage and the love that she had for me was because of what happened between us several years ago. We swore never to say it to anyone, and I was certain that we had both kept the promise.But now…“Mark, are you even still here at all?” Vector called, drawing my attention back to the present.“Yes, I am,” I lied and Vector knew almost immediately that I had lied.“I was saying that we both know that Noelle left because she saw Mona in your house, and I recall that I have actually talked to you about having her around,” Vector said carefully.“Are you berating me right now?” I asked even though that was exactly what he was doing.“No, Mark,” he lied. “I am merely pointing out why Noelle turned and left before you could even c

IVYI stayed away from everyone and starved myself for days because the dawn of every new day reminded me of the battle I had lost.For weeks, I gave in to a beast just so that I could plan an escape, only for him to take a transfer from the mental home completely.Doctor Lionel was never coming back.I was doomed.Apparently, he had been taking advantage of other women too, maybe the ones who were also as sane as I was. They could have given in to him as well because they wanted to also escape, or maybe it was just because they were starved sexually.My mission had solely been to escape.Since Oscar was murdered in cold blood, every sexual urge had died since then. He might have been the reason I was in this mess to begin with, but he was the only man that ever truly satisfied me to the fullest, or maybe it was because I was deeply and genuinely in love with him.So whatever I did was just for survival.Quite frankly, I didn’t care if he was also doing the same thing with other women
