Ryan POVEverything happening today felt strange to me, but I had to learn to get used to it.I pulled out my phone from my pocket when the vibrations of messages popping in became too much, and I quietly scrolled through it.But a message I saw made me frown. It was about the underground hotel; the issue was still up again, and I sighed.I switched off my phone before I placed it on the vanity table in front of me.I placed my hand on her waist, pulling her closer before I leaned my head on the couch and closed my eyes, feeling as she stirred in her sleep.The door opened, and someone walked in, but I didn't care to open my eyes, knowing that it was Jayden.The couch deepened beside me, and I heard him say, "Responsibility no.1."He grumbled, and I finally opened my eyes and turned to him."How stressful would this be?""You wouldn't want to know, Ryan, but you always have me by your side. I'll start practicing on how to be an uncle anyway," he said, smiling at me, and I sighed."You'
Ryan POVI picked out a plate and began filling it with different foods from each of the food lined up, selecting the ones that were healthy. I made sure to add her nuggets, which were the only junk.Once I finished, I walked back to her, carefully placing the plate on the kitchen counter."Here it is, start eating," I said, looking her in the eyes.She looked down at the food and started whimpering."Don't you like it?" I asked, and she shook her head."But–" I began saying, but trailed off."What is it?" I asked, noticing how she was behaving. She was feeling discomfort."I'm tired," she said, whimpering and moving her body as if she was trying to adjust to the discomfort she felt."Ryan, it's making me feel strange. I don't know what's happening to me," she cried in panic, and I sighed.I hugged her, raised her singlet, and placed my hand over her stomach, which was still flat as usual. I tried using a connection I felt to soothe the discomfort she felt, as it was obviously leading
Scarlett POVI was seated on a chair in the gym, provided for me after I walked in.I felt like coming to the gym when I woke up, not to work out, but to find Ryan since I didn't know his room, and it was definitely not on the third floor.Unable to locate him, I concluded he might have gone out, given his mention of urgent work. The gamma's workouts were interesting, so I decided to stay. I was rendered speechless by their muscular bodies as they took off their shirts to start their workout."I just came in time," I grumbled under my breath, squealing happily.My mouth was left open as I watched them exercise in the gym. They didn't seem bothered by my presence, and I felt comfortable licking my lollipop and enjoying the view."Hey, Jayden," I called happily, waving at Jayden who was working out. He turned and threw a kiss in the air, which I caught, smiling.I also noticed JR, shirtless and not working out but on his phone. He seemed to be looking at me.Ignoring that, I kept watchin
Scarlett POV"Scarlett," in the bathroom, Ryan's voice disrupted my sleep. Grumbling, I opened my eyes, feeling disoriented."Yes?" I mumbled, sitting up."Come here," he said again, and I looked around, but I couldn't spot him in the room."Where are you?" I asked, whining, lying back down."In the bathroom.""Why do I need to meet you there, Ryan? You're disturbing my sleep," I complained, feeling like my rest had been stolen.He didn't respond, and realizing I should go to him, I reluctantly got out of bed and approached the bathroom door."I'm here," I announced, standing in front of the door, only to be unexpectedly pulled inside."Ryan!" I cried out as I collided with him. My hand clutched my stomach, wincing in pain."Did I hurt you?" he asked, his hands gently caressing my stomach."Let me go," I said, pushing his hands away. Why did he pull me like that?As I turned to leave, he pulled me back, more gently this time. Holding me close, his hands rested on my waist."I'm sorry,"
Scarlett POVWhen he finished, he set aside the scrub and carried me to the shower."We'll stand and have a shower together. Standing isn't difficult, right? Or should I carry you?" He asked as he positioned me under the shower.I shook my head, and he switched on the shower, immediately drenching us both with water.The water was warm and soothing. I had missed bathing under a shower since I had been using a bathtub here.My hair was drenched, and water ran down from my hair to my face and down my body.Water kept spewing from the shower onto us, and he pulled me close to him, resting my head on his chest as we bathed together.His left hand was wrapped around my waist, and we stood like that for a while. Then he held my hand, which was hugging him."Four months before you start having a bump in your stomach," he whispered into my ear, bringing my hand to the front, away from his back.He guided my hand downwards until I touched it, his hard dick.I froze, biting my bottom lip as he u
Scarlett's POVI woke up alone in bed and rubbed my eyes sleepily, feeling a bit disoriented.Ryan was no longer in bed. When I turned around, I saw him already dressed, knotting his gold-colored necktie. He wore tight-fitting white pants, a white long-sleeve shirt, and a suit with black laces at the back and front.His neatly brushed hair was slicked back. After finishing with his tie, he walked over to the counter and picked up his gold watch, putting it on his wrist.I caught a glimpse of a slightly ajar door and was surprised to see another room within his room. It was like a well-organized boutique, with clothes and shoes neatly lined up on shelves and in various closets. No wonder his outfit looked amazing. If only I had woken up earlier to see him getting ready. Oh well, at least I didn't wake up and find him gone."Would you be leaving soon?" I asked, turning my attention back to him. He looked up from what he was doing and noticed me."You're awake," he simply said before retu
Scarlett's POVWhen we broke away from the hug, I poured out my feelings to him. "I came with Ryan, but he left without me. The security gave me a hard time, and I feel really depressed right now," I confessed truthfully.Jayden glanced at me as I had a sad pout on my lips. Then, he turned to the security personnel.Suddenly, I heard the sound of chairs shifting. When I turned, I saw only the heads of the security guards behind the counter because they were all on their knees.Jayden faced me again and inquired, "What did they do?""He said I'm here for charity help since I don't have an ID, and he sent me out before you came in," I explained. Jayden's face contorted in a frown."Who sent you out?" he asked, and I turned to the security personnel. The insolent man had a pleading look on his face, but he avoided eye contact with me.I walked back to him and pointed, while Jayden nodded in understanding."Come out," Jayden ordered, and the security guard immediately stood up and walked
Scarlett's POVAfter leaving Ryan's office, I headed for the elevator. There were others in the elevator too, so I stood at a corner, patiently waiting to reach the tenth floor where I was going.When the elevator reached the tenth floor, only a few people remained inside. I stepped out with a heap of papers in my hands.The corridor here was crowded with people running about. I was walking on my own when a lady suddenly bumped into me. It was unexpected, and I almost lost my balance. The papers I held went flying out of my hand and scattered all over the floor.I turned to the lady who had bumped into me and saw her packing her littered files. Hurriedly, I began packing mine while people passing by avoided stepping on and ruining the papers. Unfortunately, some people trampled on them without any care.As we were picking up the files, the crowd in the corridor started to thin out. The lady's papers that had dropped weren't as numerous as mine, and in no time, she was done picking her
