"You don't have to worry yourself about that ma. I only did what I did because I hate to see injustice being done to people. And now that I know you have seen that man for who he truly is, I think my job here is done and I can finally leave. I don't need anything from you ma.""Please, you must at least stay and have some drinks with us to celebrate." The mother insisted and Alex immediately caught on to what she was trying to do. She did not want him to just stay and talk, she wanted to boost about his relationship with her daughter to her friends and use that to feel great again. Alex smiled as he caught on to the woman's plan and decided that he would not be a part of such drama. He had more pressing issues to attend to. "Have a wonderful night," he said with a tone of finality and turned to face Todd. "Still upset with me?" Todd asked."Well, more disappointed than upset. After all, you invited me to your party and did not care to follow up to know if I would be coming or not.
Ivy did not like Alex's face when she opened the door for him. She had stayed awake all through the night expecting his return. She even went out of her way to make dinner for both of them even when he told her not to. She did not care because she knew that it made her happy to do all these for him. But his face made her think twice about her actions. "Is everything okay?" She asked as he avoided her and walked inside. "Yeah, can I get a glass of water please?" Alex asked calmly as he took a seat on his couch. "Sure," the girl responded and rushed to the fridge to bring his water. After giving him the glass, she stood by his side as he down the entire glass of water and handed the glass back to her. "Thank you." He said and leaned into the couch. Ivy took the glass and returned it to the kitchen counter. When she came back, she saw his eyes closed and his face worried, but he wasn't sleeping. "Alex what's wrong? What happened there?" He asked. "Well, I don't actually know where
Ivy staggered as she heard the news. She never thought it would run so deep or hurt so badly and she was amazed to see it do. "What did you say?" She asked after a while of silent. Alex had allowed her to stay quiet. He never said a single word to her and he tried his best to not allow his emotions to show on his face but he was sure that he was doing a terrible job already because when Ivy looked at him, somehow her eyes welled up with more sadness in them. "Alex, what did you just say to me?" She asked again. Her voice was still coming out as a whisper. If Alex was not sure before of how she felt about him, he became sure immediately he heard her voice. It sounded so sad and so much filled with sorrow."I said that I am in love with someone else," he repeated himself and watched as tears formed in her eyes. She sniffled, fighting back the tears that wanted to fall and looked at him in sadness. "who is she?" She finally asked and Alex wondered where she got the strength from. He
Alex knew her body well and he wanted to explore it but he was also a man that knew how to control himself. He took his hand off her boobs and stood up from the bed."Go and get dressed, Ivy," he said with a hint of finality ending all thoughts of anything sexual happening between him and her in her head. He could see the disappointment on her face but he knew that one day, she would be thanking him for what he did. "Fine," Ivy said with disappointment written all over her face. She walked into the bathroom and Alex heaved a sigh of relief. The woman did not look that upset with him and he knew that he would have to be careful with the words that he said around her. It would take just a little thing to provoke her and he did not want that to happen. Ivy came out few minutes later, dressed in her night gown that wasn't revealing in any way. She had tried to keep everything hidden and Alex could only hope that the look of her beautiful skin would not make him want her again. "You ca
Ivy was shocked. She had never seen Alex that angry before and she never thought that she would ever see him that upset. She did not know who this person was but she could tell that the woman had a very strong grip on him and had him feeling things she could not understand. "Okay, calm down," Ivy said as she sat upright. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pass that frustration to you but it's just really annoying to have to endure all of these feelings." "Why? Haven't you felt this way before?" She asked. "The last time I felt this way, it was for a woman that did not even deserve it. Somehow, I just end up choosing the wrong people all the time. My last girlfriend, she left me because I was broke and she went to an old man who could give her money." "Are you serious? I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Ivy apologized."Well it was really painful. I know I tried to act macho and I fooled some people to believe that I wasn't hurt but I was. I was deeply hurt and I don't think that

"Good morning handsome," Alex was awoken by the sweet sound made by Ivy's melodic voice. She did not even try to hide her excitement of waking up next to him and Alex loved the feeling as well. He wasn't romantically attracted to her but he did care for her like he would a sister. After all, she did everything in her power to ensure that he was okay and strong, it was only fair that he showed her the same care that she did to him. "Is everything okay? You are not saying a word!" Ivy asked when he laid in bed silently. "Nothing. I just never thought we would get to the point of being this close." "How do you mean?" "Well you are lying next to me in bed and I don't have this overwhelming zeal to push you off. I just never thought it would come to be." "Does it make you happy or sad that it's like this?" She asked. "It makes me happy," Alex said with a soft look in his eyes and for the first time, Ivy felt a strange surge of emotions running through her. She had never felt that wa
Alex stepped into his company and he was met with a tensed atmosphere. Everyone looked at him as if they had been waiting for his arrival and he suddenly did not know why they all came to work so early. It wasn't even 8am and it seemed like everyone that his company had ever employed were in the office. Including Aurora. He saw her walk towards him when he entered the building and she kept taking slow steps towards him as if she was weary to walk hastily and get him upset. Alex gave one look in her direction before he turned and walked towards the elevator. He did not need to tell Andres to try and keep the woman away from him. Andres was observant enough and he knew how to restrain her when she got too close. Alex heard the commotion coming from them behind him and he wondered if she had seriously expected that she would be given the opportunity to just talk to him after what she had done. He did not even try to say anything about what she did. He did not even answer her when she
