Semua Bab Till Divorce Do Us Part: Bab 71 - Bab 80

MARKI hadn’t expected to meet Alexa the mood with which I met her, considering how our last meeting had ended, and more so, with Noelle, her best friend and the one person I knew could not stand the sight of me. The first time I had met Alexa was at Mr. Silver’s birthday party, fully organized by Alexa whom I wasn’t even talking to at that time. Ivy and I had recently gotten engaged, so aside from the relationship I had with Mr. Silver, it only seemed right that I attended.I hadn’t even paid much to Alexa, because frankly, all I had wanted to do was get married to Ivy and have a good life. Her stepsister was not really a concern to me, especially as Ivy had been so bitter against her the one and only time that she had spoken about her.“Oh gosh, I can’t stand her either; always doing the most,” Ivy had hissed and rolled her eyes in disgust.I had thought that she was referring to her stepsister again, but when I looked, it had been someone else who was at the other corner of the li

ALEXAI remember pacing around, worried sick at the hallway while waiting for my dad to give me answers.He had only informed me about Mark’s accident without giving me details of his condition, so I had been deeply worried. Even though he was dating Ivy and already engaged to her, I was still in love with him. It was crazy, I knew, but I could not kill my feelings for him no matter how much I tried.So the thought of Mark Ronaldo being dead crumbled my heart already, and as I paced about, waiting impatiently for my dad to come out of his bedroom, I prayed fervently in my heart that he would not be dead.“How could you be so insensitive, Clara?!” It had been my dad’s scolding voice coming from his bedroom. His room door was ajar, so it gave me the liberty to eavesdrop. I had tried to peep in, but from the angle that they stood, I could not see them, so I merely listened. I hadn’t even known that Clara had gone into his bedroom.“How am I being insensitive?” Clara had asked angrily.“

ALEXA“I cannot believe that you agreed to do this, Alexa!” Noelle had said loudly.It had been the first time that she had agreed to come visit me at the hospital after I told her that I was staying with Mark just to ensure that he was doing okay.And for family obligations, of course.I had chipped that in to make her react less than I expected, but it hadn’t worked. Noelle had been livid and disappointed, and she hadn’t spoken to me for a month. It had been the first time that Noelle and I had stayed apart for that long, but not even her anger could prevent me from staying by Mark.He was in coma, but it felt like he was alive to me.Doctor Jones still hadn’t seen any positive changes in him aside from the fact that he was breathing fine, but I had stayed hopeful. Every single day, without fail, I talked with Mark and read him a book and told him about what was happening in the news.Blogs. Scandals. Gossips.To me, Mark Ronaldo was alive, and I hadn’t let anyone or his reports for

MARK“Doctor Jones, I need answers right now,” I demanded firmly.I always suspected that something wasn’t just adding up, but no one seemed to be saying anything to me. Each time I asked Vector or talked to him about it, he always acted in a way that made me suspect that he was hiding something, but since I couldn’t get hold of it, I always let it slide.Now, I was determined not to.“You are my doctor and you are obligated to tell me everything that I need to know,” I declared firmly.When Doctor Jones looked at me again, his eyes were normal and neutral.“Listen, I think I will just write a new list and get you discharged. If you stick to you, this will not have to repeat itself again,” Doctor Jones said.There was something in his voice that told me that he was lying to me, or maybe hiding something. That thing had left his eyes and was now in his voice. As Doctor Jones turned to leave, I knew that he was trying to escape me, but I didn’t let him, so I held his hand firmly.“You d

MARK“Everyone knows that Alexa has been madly in love with you from the very first day she set her eyes on you, way before we even met.”The words still kept ringing in my head even as I arrived back at my mansion in good health. It was as though I was hearing the love word for the first time.Alexa was in love with me before now? Did she know me before I arrived at Mr. Silver’s house that fateful day?I didn’t get any answer to all the many questions that were flying through my head, majorly because after Ivy stormed out, I was too stunned to have said anything. Then Alexa had turned and walked out too.It had been a brief moment of emotions for me, especially, and before I could come out of it and ask Alexa about what Ivy said, I was told that she had already left. Now I was back at my house, strong and better, but with confusion in my head.There was also the revelation that Doctor Jones revealed to me, which was intense, and that too, I did not get answers to it. Ivy ensured that
