I stood outside, the cool night air enveloping me as I took a long drag on my cigarette. The ember glowed brightly in the darkness. "Thompson, it's about Lily," I said, my voice low and serious.

Thompson's hesitation was palpable, even over the phone. "What about Lily, sir?" he asked cautiously. "Don't tell me you're having second thoughts about her?"

I reassured him quickly, "No, Thompson, nothing like that. I'd like to meet her." My words hung in the air, filled with a sense of longing.

His tone remained neutral. "You'd like to meet her, sir?" he repeated, seeking clarification.

I nodded, even though he couldn't see me. "Yes, I want to pay her a visit. I know her mental health is fragile, and she can't meet anyone right now, but I'd like you to find a way to make it happen."

"Alright, sir," he responded. "I'll arrange something. I'll let you know when it's a good time."

I ended the call, taking another drag on my cigarette. My mind began to wander, drifting back to the messag

    AliceAs I stared at him, confusion washed over me, followed by a creeping sense of fear. Was he leaving me? After the baby was born, of course - I knew the contract would end after a few months. But if I calculated correctly, he wasn't supposed to be alive by then. So, what was going on?I swallowed hard, my voice shaking. "Just before you go…? What does that mean?"Xavier's response was a cryptic smile, one that made my skin crawl. "Nothing," he said, waving his hand dismissively. "Let's head inside. It's already late, and I'm hungry."Without waiting for my response, Xavier turned and headed toward the house. I followed, my mind racing with questions.As we entered the dining area, the staff were setting out a sumptuous feast. Xavier made his way to the table, and soon, Wendy and Lexi joined us. We sat down together, the tension between Xavier and me palpable, even as we began to eat.As we sat around the dining table, my mind kept wandering back to the conversation with Xavier ear

    AliceI grasped Wendy's trembling hands, offering what little reassurance I could. "Everything will be alright," I said softly. "Things happen."Wendy's eyes welled up with tears as she shook her head."It was a big mistake, Alice. Something that shouldn't have happened. We just got drunk, and...and we did it. We had sex, but I didn't think it would lead to this. I wasn't on birth control, and I suddenly started feeling nauseous and began vomiting. When I took the test...I was pregnant…. Two months already."Wendy pulled out the pregnancy test from her pocket and handed it to me. I took it, my eyes locking onto the two pink lines. Memories came flooding back – the day I found out I was pregnant with Xavier's child, the mix of emotions that had overwhelmed me. I felt a pang of empathy for Wendy.I wrapped my arms around Wendy, holding her close. "Everything will be fine," I whispered.She sobbed uncontrollably, her body shaking with each cry. "I hope so," she stammered. "I really didn'

  • Baby for Mr CEO   What a news!

    AliceI glanced at my phone, noticing a message from Xavier. I sighed, feeling a mix of relief and frustration. He had apologized again for not being able to take me to the hospital himself, explaining that the driver would be delayed due to traffic. He had emphasized that I shouldn't go out on my own, reassuring me that the driver would pick me up and take me to the hospital safely.I rolled my eyes, feeling a twinge of annoyance. But as I read through the message again, I couldn't help but smile at Xavier's concern for me. I set the phone aside and stood up, deciding to pass the time by watching TV.I settled into the plush armchair in the living room, flipping through channels until I landed on my favorite series. As I watched, I found myself becoming completely absorbed in the story, laughing and crying along with the characters. Time flew by, and before I knew it, I had been watching for hours.Just as I was getting to the climax of the episode, I heard the sound of the front doo

    Xavier(Flashback to last night)I studied Alice's face, trying to read her expression. She seemed distant, her eyes clouded with thoughts. I wondered what Wendy had told her."Alice?" I pressed, my voice gentle. "What's going on? You can tell me."Alice's gaze dropped, her shoulders sagging slightly. I sensed a hesitation in her, a reluctance to share something."Is everything okay with Wendy?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.Alice's eyes flickered up to mine, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flash of concern. But it was quickly replaced by a neutral expression."Yeah, everything's fine," Alice said, her voice measured.I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. Alice wasn't exactly the best liar. I knew she was hiding something, but I decided not to push the issue...for now."I'll go to bed now. Good night," she murmured, before sliding under the sheets and turning away from me.I watched her, a mix of concern and curiosity still lingering in my mind. But as the silence stretched, I realized

    XavierI ignored Phoebe's attempt to divert her gaze, and she gave a small smile. "I guess I'll just drink without clinking glasses even if it hurts."Phoebe took a sip from her glass, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Hmm! Tastes strong and so nice.My irritation grew with each passing moment, and I couldn't help but feel like she was toying with me."What the hell are you doing here?" I asked again, my voice low and even.Phoebe smiled, seemingly oblivious to the undercurrent of anger in my tone. "You haven't answered my question yet," she said, her voice dripping with nonchalance. "What are you doing, drinking like this? You know it's not good for your health."My frown deepened, my eyes flashing with annoyance. "That's none of your business," I growled. "What I want to know is, what the hell are you doing here? And how did you find out that I was here?"Phoebe's smile never wavered. "Oh, it was easy," she said, her voice light and airy. "I follow your secretary's postings on Ins

    Xavier"Stop the car!" I screamed at the driver, my heart racing with fear. "Fucking stop!"The driver slammed on the brakes, and I leapt out of the car, sprinting towards Phoebe. She was still standing in the middle of the road, her eyes fixed on some point in front of her, as if waiting for the inevitable.I ran as fast as I could, my legs pumping furiously as I desperately tried to reach her before the truck did. Memories of our past flooded my mind, memories of our laughter, our tears, our kisses.We were lying on the bed, our lips locked in a passionate kiss. I laughed and asked her, "So, I guess you're trying to do the battle of kisses, huh?"She laughed and said, "Yeah, come get it!" Her lips pouted, inviting me to kiss her again. And I did.As I ran, tears streamed down my face, blurring my vision. I didn't even realize I was crying. All I knew was that I had to save Phoebe.Just as the truck was about to hit her, I launched myself at her, wrapping my arms around her waist and

    AliceAs the night wore on, I paced around my room, tears brimming in my eyes. The doctor's words echoed in my mind: "Mrs. Alice Brown, I'm afraid your baby's growth is restricted. The ultrasound shows the baby's not developing at a normal rate. We need to run more tests to determine the cause and the best course of action."Before I knew it, I burst into tears again. Wendy entered my room, concern etched on her face, and tried to comfort me. "Everything will be fine, Alice," she said. "Please stop crying already."I glared at her, frustration and fear simmering inside me. "You've said that for the umpteenth time already, and I don't think everything will be fine. What's going to happen to my baby?"She sighed deeply and hugged me, calming me down. "When my brother comes, you need to tell him everything, okay? I'm certain you two will be able to talk it out."I swallowed hard and nodded. "I will. I just need to think about it first. I'm actually scared of telling him just yet.""Okay,

    XavierAs I lay beside Alice, I didn't want to wake her up. She needed her rest, especially with the baby on the way. I cared about her, and the thought of causing her or the baby any discomfort was unbearable.I carefully got out of bed, trying not to disturb her. I headed to the shower, letting the warm water wash away the fatigue. After dressing, I grabbed my wallet and phone and headed downstairs.The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as I entered the dining room. Wendy and Lexi were laughing and chatting over breakfast. I walked over to the table, poured myself a cup of coffee, and took a sip.Wendy looked up at me, concern etched on her face. "You came home late yesterday?""Yeah," I nodded, taking another sip of my coffee."Why, though?" she asked."You don't need to know," I replied, noticing the coldness in my tone which I didn't quite care about.Wendy's eyes sparkled with curiosity, but she didn't press the issue.

    AliceI shook Xavier's shoulders, my voice escalating into a frantic scream. "Xavier, wake up! Xavier, please!"But he lay motionless, his eyes closed, his chest still. I slapped his face, my fingers trembling with desperation. "Xavier, wake up!" Still, there was no response. No flicker of movement. No whisper of breath.Panic set in, my heart racing like a jackhammer. I leapt out of bed, my legs buckling beneath me. I stumbled out of the room, down the hallway, and into the doctor's office, my screams echoing off the walls. "Please help me! My husband isn't waking up! What's happening?"The doctor's face turned ashen, and he sprinted after me, his team of nurses and hospital staff hot on our heels. "We need to move, now!" the doctor yelled, his voice low and urgent.As we burst back into the room, the medical team descended upon Xavier, their faces set with determination. "We have to save him," one of the nurses whispered, her voice laced with desperation. "We can't let him slip away

    XavierI took a deep breath before explaining. "I met Phoebe that day because I didn't want to meet her.""And what does that mean?" she asked, her brows furrowing."I was at the bar, minding my own business, when she showed up out of nowhere. I tried to brush her off, told her I didn't want her around, but she was stubborn. She kept making excuses, trying to get my attention."Alice's eyes narrowed, her interest piqued."When I decided to leave, she followed me," I continued. "And then... she almost committed suicide by running into the middle of the road. I had to save her, of course."Alice's eyes widened in shock, and then a radiant smile spread across her face. "I just love this man so much," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "He's such a savior."I couldn't help but smile back at her, my heart skipping a beat. I brushed it off as a side effect of my illness, but deep down, I knew it was something more.As Alice leaned in, her heart pounding in her chest, I felt her w

    XavierAs I chewed the food Alice fed me, I felt a surge of gratitude toward her. She was taking care of me, nursing me back to health. I swallowed the bite and smiled weakly. "I think I'm okay now," I said, trying to reassure her.But Alice wouldn't have it. "Eat, please," she coaxed, her eyes pleading with me. I didn't have a choice; I took another bite, the flavors dancing on my tongue.Just as I was savoring the taste, Alice asked, "Are you really going to die?" Her words caught me off guard, and I choked on the food. Coughing, I struggled to catch my breath.She quickly handed me the water bottle, and I drank hurriedly, trying to calm down. When I finally composed myself, Alice apologized, "I'm sorry if that triggered you..." But she didn't back down. "Are you still going to die?"I looked at her, a mix of emotions swirling inside me. I forced a laugh, trying to reassure her. "No, I'm not gonna die, okay? I'm fine."Alice's eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing. "You're lying to me,"

    AliceI sat in the doctor's office, my heart shattering into a million pieces. The words she spoke felt like a dagger to my chest, leaving me breathless and bewildered."What did you say again?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. The doctor's sympathetic gaze only made my anxiety spike."Your husband has Pineal Cystoma," she repeated, her tone gentle but firm.I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. "What the hell is that?" I demanded, my eyes welling up with tears. My voice cracked as I spoke, betraying my desperation.The doctor's expression softened further. "It's a rare brain condition, Alice. I'm so sorry."I couldn't process the words. "My husband is fine," I insisted, denial clawing its way up my throat. "What do you mean he has some stupid sickness I've never heard of?"The doctor's eyes filled with compassion. "I'm afraid it's not just a sickness, Alice. Pineal Cystoma is a serious condition...and your husband doesn't have much time left."My mind reeled as she spoke,

    Xavier"Will you speak already and stop staring?" I demanded, my patience wearing thin. The doctor's smile faltered, and she cleared her throat."Firstly, I would like to apologize. So, I'm so sorry, Mr. Blackwood," she began, her voice hesitant. "It appears we made a terrible mistake. The test result wasn't actually for your wife, Alice. It belonged to another patient."My mind reeled as the doctor's words hung in the air. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut."I'm deeply sorry for my negligence," the doctor continued, her eyes filled with regret. "As for your real test result..." She opened her drawer and pulled out a file. "We received it this morning, and I was about to contact you, but I forgot. I'm glad you both came in."I snatched the file from her hand, my heart racing. I scanned the pages, my eyes devouring the words. And then I saw it – the test result, confirming that our baby was healthy.A wave of relief washed over me, followed by a rush of joy.

    AliceXavier's sudden grip on my hand was like a vice, his fingers digging deep into my skin. I winced, trying to wiggle my hand free, but he only tightened his hold. My wrist throbbed in protest, the pain shooting up my arm."Xavier, please," I begged, trying to keep my voice steady. "You're hurting me."But he didn't respond. Instead, he pulled me along, his strides long and purposeful. I stumbled, trying to keep up with him."Where are you taking me?" I asked, my voice rising in alarm.Xavier's face was set in a grim mask, his eyes blazing with anger. He didn't answer, just kept pulling me along."Xavier, please calm down," I tried again, my voice softening. "Just listen to me, okay?"But he wasn't listening. He was beyond reason, his emotions simmering just below the surface. I'd never seen him like this before, his anger and frustration palpable.We reached the car, and Xavier yanked open the door, pushing me inside with a rough gesture. I landed hard on the seat, my wrist throbb

    XavierAs I stepped out of the psychiatric rehab facility, the cool evening air enveloped me, a stark contrast to the sterile atmosphere I had just left behind. I slipped my hand into my pocket and retrieved a cigarette, the familiar ritual a comforting escape. I lit the cigarette with a flick of my lighter and took a long drag, feeling the nicotine coursing through my veins.My eyes drifted upward toward the sky as my mind began to wander. I knew I shouldn't be smoking, not with my health condition, but I couldn't bring myself to care. What was the point anyway? I was going to die soon, no matter what.As I stood there, lost in thought, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me. "Sir, please wait!" a voice called out. I turned to see a woman running toward me, her face etched with worry and fear. She was panting heavily, her chest heaving with each breath.I watched her approach, my curiosity piqued. As she drew closer, I asked, "What's the problem?" My voice was calm, but my mind was

    AliceI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. The room was quiet, except for the soft hum of the air conditioner. I reached for my phone on the bedside table and dialed Wendy's number, but she didn't pick up.I sighed and tried Lexi's number instead. He answered on the first ring."Hey, where are you?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.There was a pause on the other end, and then Lexi whispered back, "What's going on? Why are you whispering, sis?""Never mind," I replied, rolling my eyes. "Has Xavier gone to work yet?""Yeah, he left some minutes ago," he replied.I sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "I just woke up."Lexi's tone turned curious. "Why does it seem like you're trying to hide from Xavier?"I sighed, feeling a pang of frustration."I'm not hiding from Xavier, actually. I just wanted to stay off him for some days."Lexi's voice turned skeptical. "Why?"I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "I'm mad at him."Lexi's tone turned firm. "I

    XavierI took a deep breath, my eyes locked on Lily's. "I want to apologize for treating you poorly back then," I said, my voice laced with remorse. "I gave you a cigarette and then rejected you because of it. I'm truly sorry about that."Lily's face scrunched up, and she shook her head. "No, I think I deserved it," she whispered, her voice cracking.I shook my head firmly. "No, you didn't. If I hadn't done that to you, you wouldn't have been triggered to seek revenge. I'm sorry, once again." My eyes pleaded for forgiveness. "I just came to unburden myself, to pour out my feelings. I acted like shit back then, and I'm deeply sorry."Lily's gaze met mine, her eyes brimming with tears. She searched my face, as if seeking the truth behind my words."Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "Why did you reject me when you gave me the cigarette? Why did you do that? It still confuses me to this day." Her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice cracked with emotion.I felt a pang
