As Alice walked up to me, I remained still, my eyes fixed on her. Even without the wedding dress, she radiated a captivating aura. My chest fluttered, and I felt lost in thought.

She tapped me gently on the shoulder, breaking the spell. "Xavier, are you alright?" she asked, concern etched on her face.

I swallowed hard, composing myself. "I guess so," I replied, my voice low.

She smiled. "We aren't done here, right? Because you need to wear the—"

"Yeah. I'll go put it on right now," I interrupted, nodding.

With the staff's assistance, I headed to the dressing room. Moments later, I emerged, dressed in the tailored suit.

Alice's eyes widened as she stood up, applauding. "Wow, you look dashing, handsome Mr. Xavier Blackwood!" she exclaimed.

I smiled, feeling a sense of pride. "Thank you," I said, bowing slightly.

He continued to wade deeper into the water, determined to find the ring.I yelled again, "You won't even find the ring! Stop it already!" But Xavier was too focused on his quest. He didn't seem to care about the danger he was putting himself in.I sighed deeply and ran to Lexi, grabbing his arm. "Please, save him before he does something stupid!" I begged.Lexi's expression turned grim. "There's nothing I can do. I can't swim, and... Xavier can't swim either."My eyes widened in horror. "What? Xavier can't swim?

A glance at her revealed a faint shiver, her shoulders trembling slightly. The cold had finally caught up with her. My hand reached for the heater controls, cranking up the warmth. As the air vents blew gentle heat, I shed my jacket, draping it over her shoulders."I'm fine, I'm fine," she protested, her voice weak."No," I objected, a heavy glint in my eyes.

"Is everything alright, sir?" he asked, concern etched on his face.I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself. "Yes, I'm fine. Just a bit...off," I replied, unsure of what was wrong."Maybe you should get some rest, sir?" he suggested. "You've been working non-stop for weeks."But I shook my head, determined to push through. "Let's just finish this up, and then I'll take a break."The meeting finally came to a close, and I stood up, shaking hands with the other executives.

  • Baby for Mr CEO   Mother's POV

    MariaAs I sat in my favorite armchair, reflecting on my life, I couldn't help but think about my son, Xavier. Had I truly given him the best possible life? The answer, I realized with a pang of guilt, was no.I had been a distant, uninvolved mother, never taking the time to understand my son's desires or dreams. Instead, I had dictated his path, choosing his career and making decisions on his behalf, right from a young age.A few years ago, Xavier had brought Phoebe to meet me, telling me about his plans to marry her and how much he loved her. But I had refused to accept her. In my mind, I would choose the perfect woman for my son, and Phoebe didn't fit the bill.So, behind the scenes, I had manipulated events to sabotage Xavier's business, watching with a sense of satisfaction as it crumbled. My son was devastated, unable to understand why his company was failing. Little did he know, it was his own mother who was responsible.I recalled the conversation I had with Phoebe, telling he

His polished shoes clicked against the stairs, echoing through the hallway.As he approached, he extended a hand, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, this is it. I can officially call you my ex-wife, right?"I smiled, inhaling the scent of his cologne as I took his hand. "Not for long, Xavier," I replied, our handshake brief but firm.We broke apart, and together, we walked towards the car waiting for us outside. The driver stood by the door, tipping his hat as we slid into the backseat.As the car glided smoothly into motion, Xavier turned to me, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "Divorce has never tasted so sweet," he whispered, his eyes crinkling at the corners.I smiled, my heart skipping a beat. "I can't help but agree," I replied, our lips meeting in a tender, s

    AliceBefore I could even process my emotions, Xavier dropped to his knees, his eyes locked on mine. He pulled out a small jewelry box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a stunning diamond ring. His voice trembled as he whispered, "Alice, please... divorce me. Let's divorce from this contractual marriage of ours and marry right. Please marry me."I felt like I couldn't breathe for a second there. We were married, yes, but it was a contractual arrangement, a business deal between us. But now, Xavier was asking me to break free from that contract and marry him for real.I stared at him, my mind reeling. His eyes were glassy with tears, and his voice was laced with emotion. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.And then, like a dam breaking, tears flooded my eyes. My voice shook as I whispered, "Y-yes...

I remembered how much she used to call me, crying and bawling all night to my ears.Now, Xavier telling me not to reach out to anyone yet was something strange."Not now," he whispered, his eyes locked on mine. "Right now, I just want to ease the tension, look at you, talk to you, and feel our baby."I smiled, my hand instinctively going to my swollen belly. Next month, our little one would arrive, and I couldn't wait to see Xavier hold our child in his arms.He kissed my lips gently, his eyes filled with adoration.
