Alice

I wiped away tears, trying to calm myself down. "So, what about us?" I asked, my voice shaking. "Do you think I can just...accept some kind of polyandry relationship? Hell no."

My husband and step-sister exchanged glances, and then burst into laughter. I frowned, feeling more confused than ever. Why were they laughing? Nothing was funny here.

He shook his head, still chuckling. "Wait a minute, did you actually think that I would even want to be with two women at once?"

I raised an eyebrow, my heart racing. "What are you even saying? Isn't that what you wanted? Isn't that what you've been doing!"

I wish I realized that I was talking nonsense, but I was too troubled to accept reality.

He shook his head again, his expression cold. "I'm throwing you away, Alice. Don't you get it? I want your step-sister, not you."

I clenched my teeth, wiping away my tears as I struggled to compose myself. "Don't expect me to leave," I said, my voice firm. "I'm not leaving. That husband snatcher is the one to leave."

He and step-sister exchanged a knowing glance, and she stood up, moving closer to my husband. "I think it's time," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "This is when we pull the last card."

I frowned, confusion and anger swirling inside me. "What the hell are you both talking about? What last card?" I demanded. "And can you please stop murmuring at each other? I'm the wife here, you're just a mistress."

My husband's expression turned cold, and he walked over to his desk, opening a drawer and pulling out a document. "Not anymore," he said, his voice dripping with malice. He walked up to me, holding out the papers. "Sign them now."

As I gazed at the document, my eyes widened in horror. Divorce papers. The words seemed to leap off the page, striking me like a physical blow. I felt like my breath had been knocked out of me.

I shivered, my heart racing.

"Eth… Ethan. What...what is this?" I stuttered, calling out my husband's name for the first time since I'd entered the room. "Please, just tell me this is a prank. I beg you."

But his expression remained cold and unyielding. He pushed me, his hands hard and unforgiving. "Sign these papers quickly, Alice. I need to end things between us, so that I can be with the one I truly love."

He pulled my step-sister closer, his arms wrapping around her like a possessive claim. I felt another fresh wave of tears well up, my heart cracking badly it hurt.

"Please don't do this to me," I begged, my voice cracking. "You know I still love you so much. Remember our promises. Remember–

"And remember those were just lies!" he yelled, his eyes devoid of empathy. "Sign the papers now, Alice. Before it gets any worse."

That was when I realized it was really over. I'd given up. With shivering hands, I picked up the pen, my signature scribbled across the page in a messy, tear-stained scrawl.

I couldn't bear to look at Ethan, but I caught sight of his signature on the page, already signed and dated. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks: he'd really planned this all along.

"I think it's time for you to leave now," Ethan sneered, his eyes glinting with hatred. "Pack your things and leave right now. Get out of my house."

I felt a stinging sensation in my eyes as more tears poured down. "You know I have no place to go and no one to turn to," I said, my voice shaking. "How could you do this to me? I'll make sure that you two regret your actions."

Ethan and my step-sister burst into laughter, mocking me.

"What will you do exactly?" she taunted, a smirk on her lips. "There's nothing you can do. You're useless, and worthless. In fact, you're no one."

Her words cut deep, and I couldn't help but blame myself. I was a housewife, dependent on Ethan for everything. I had no money, no job, and no independence.

I took a deep breath and gathered what little dignity I had left. I packed my bags, my hands shaking as I zipped them up. Then, I took one last look at the home I had shared with Ethan, before walking out the door.

As I stepped out into the cool evening air, I burst into tears. I didn't know what to do or where to go.

However, after much thinking, I decided to go to Naomi, a friend, someone I had known since college. I hailed a taxi and got in, the driver's sympathetic glance in the rearview mirror only making me cry harder. Maybe, my step-sister was right, I was truly worthless.

As the taxi drove away from the only home I had known for years, I felt a sense of loss and despair wash over me. This was really the end of it all.

I finally arrived at Naomi's place, exhausted and emotionally drained. After giving the door a weak knock, Naomi opened the door, and her eyes widened in concern as she took in my appearance.

"Oh my God, what happened?" she asked, rushing to my side. She scanned my pale-looking face, swollen red eyes, and the bag slung over my shoulder.

I felt a lump form in my throat as I tried to speak. Naomi ushered me inside, sat me down, and handed me a glass of water which I sipped.

After composing myself, I started telling Naomi everything that had happened. I told her about Ethan's affair, the divorce, and how he had kicked me out of our home. Naomi listened attentively, and she gave out different expressions; shock, anger, sympathy, and probably more.

As I finished my story, Naomi wrapped her arms around me in a warm hug. "You can stay here with me," she said. "There's no problem at all. I'm managing, but I can help you out for a few months until you get back on your feet."

I felt relieved. Naomi had recently gotten a visa and would be leaving the country soon, but she was willing to let me stay with her until I found a new job and a place to live.

"Thank you, Naomi," I said, my voice choked with emotion.

"It's my pleasure," she replied.

As the night wore on, I turned to Naomi and said, "You know, I really need to get out for a bit. Let me go grab a few drinks outside."

Naomi nodded understandingly. "Okay, go ahead. I should've followed you, but I don't feel like drinking. There's a bar not too far from here."

I thanked Naomi and left, making my way to the bar. Inside, I ordered a drink and took a sip, feeling the cool liquid slide down my throat.

As I drank my second bottle, I noticed a handsome man sitting alone at the bar. He had politely declined the advances of a few women, and I found myself drawn to him.

With a reckless abandon I hadn't felt in years, I walked up to him. "Hey, Mr stranger, do you have a girlfriend?" I asked bluntly and shamelessly.

He looked at me with a mix of surprise and amusement. "No," he replied.

"Are you married?" I asked.

"No," he replied.

"Do you have a guy partner?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me as I thought he might be gay.

He shook his head. "No."

I leaned in, my heart pounding in my chest. "Okay, that's good," I whispered, before pressing my lips to his in a passionate kiss.

As our lips parted, I gazed into his eyes, and felt a jolt of electricity run through my body. His eyes burned with desire, and as he kept staring at me, his pupils dilated.

I thought, if Ethan could do it while we were still married, why can't I do it now? I knew it was a foolish justification, but it felt like a way to get revenge.

I whispered seductively against his ear, "How about we go have sex?" My voice was husky, and I could feel my heart racing with anticipation.

The man's eyes flashed with surprise, but then a slow smile spread across his face. He nodded, his eyes never leaving mine, and took my hand, leading me out of the bar into the night.

    AliceI snapped my eyes open, and the morning sunlight danced across my face. As I quickly sat up, my gaze swept around the unfamiliar room. That's when I saw him - the man from the one-night stand, lying beside me."What have I done?" I whispered to myself as I hastily threw off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed, reaching for my clothes. But before I could grab them, the man's hand closed around my wrist.Startled, I gasped and turned to face him. "What...?" I began, but he cut me off."Do you think this is some cliché romance movie where you can just run away?" he asked, raising a brow.I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself despite the embarrassment I was feeling. "I...I'm sorry about last night. I was just out of it. I'm really sorry."Without waiting for his response, I grabbed my clothes and dashed into the bathroom.After getting dressed, I stepped out to face the man standing before me.

I couldn't shake the feeling that my life was going out of control.As I entered the house, I noticed something was off. The door was unlocked, and Naomi was nowhere to be found. I remembered she was supposed to be at home since she had resigned from her job. I also noticed that her bags were missing.At that moment, I felt uneasy. Where was she? And why had she left without saying anything?I called out her name, but there was only silence. Something was definitely wrong.I stood there, wondering if Naomi had traveled. She had gotten her visa last week, and it was possible she had left today. But without saying goodbye? It seemed so sudden, so unfair.I felt a pang of disappointment and hurt. Why hadn't Naomi told me she was leaving?But that was when I remembered I had a baby inside of me. "I'm sorry... I just can't keep you," I said, shaking my head

    XavierAs we stepped out of the helicopter, I assisted Alice down, mindful of her delicate condition. Her eyes widened in awe as she took in the grandeur of my mansion.And I couldn't help but smile, a gesture I normally reserved for rare moments. Alice's wonder was infectious, but I quickly suppressed my emotions, reverting to my usual stoic demeanor."Wow, it's so beautiful," Alice breathed, her gaze roaming over the mansion's facade.I nodded curtly, gesturing for her to follow me. As we walked toward the entrance, I informed her, "I'll show you to your room."Before we reached the grand staircase, Alice suddenly grasped my hand, halting my stride.I turned to her, my voice detached, "What is it?" My eyebrow rose in question, betraying a hint of curiosity.Alice's eyes locked onto mine, her expression uncertain. I waited for her to speak, my gaze unwavering."What's it, Alice?"

    AliceI sat on the bed, my mind racing with thoughts. Why was Xavier so mad? Did I do something wrong? I kept replaying our conversation in my head. I told those men I was pregnant... Was that wrong? Perhaps Xavier didn't want anyone to know that I was carrying his baby. All men are totally the same, isn't it? I should have really known better, especially since I was a divorcee. Trusting men was supposed to be the last thing I should think of.My thoughts swirled, making me feel restless. I needed to talk to Xavier, to clear the air. I decided to call him, my heart racing with do. I brought out my phone and hesitated for a moment. What if he yelled at me? What if he replied in his typical arrogant and cold manner?I took a deep breath, bracing myself for the worst. I pressed the call button and closed my eyes tightly, waiting for him to answer.Xavier finally answered the call, and after a brief silence, I said, "Hello," my voice gentle and subdued."I can hear you, Alice.

    Xavier Wendy turned to me with a frown on her face, yanking her arm away from mine. "Eww, gross, Xavier! Why can't you quickly deny the statement that I'm your fiancée and tell her that I'm your little sister?" she asked, her voice laced with annoyance. I frowned, taken aback by her outburst. Wasn't she the one who blurted that out senselessly? She should be the one to correct herself. "Can you even speak up for yourself, Xavier?" she asked, clearly exasperated. I finally found my voice, my tone firm but calm. "Can you leave? We'll talk later." Wendy raised an eyebrow, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Alright, bro," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Before I could even react, she smacked me squarely on the ass, laughing as she walked away. I watched her leave, my expression stern, emotions in turmoil. I was embarrassed, completely caught off guard by Wendy's unexpected behavior. She was out of her mind—no question about it. As I turned back to face Alice, I coul

    AliceI stared at Xavier, who was staring back at me in confusion. How did I end up here? Just a few minutes ago, I was in my room, trying to catch some sleep. My mind had been restless all day, thinking about what my best friend had done to me. She had left without warning, abandoning me with no explanation and almost getting me killed by some wicked strangers.As I lay on my bed, trying to calm my racing thoughts, I heard a knock at the door. I got up to answer it, and that's when I saw Wendy standing in the hallway with a mischievous smirk on her face."To what do I owe this sudden visit?" I asked, doing my best to hide the frown tugging at my lips."I should be the one asking you that," she shot back, her left eyebrow raised mischievously. "Shouldn't you be in your husband's room, sleeping beside him?"I bristled. "We decided not to sleep together until our wedding, which is coming up soon.""Oh, so you two are practicing celibacy?" Wendy laughed, shaking her head.I nodded, tryin

    Alice"Why... Why don't you sleep on the bed?" I suggested after a long silence, our eyes locked on each other."I'll sleep on the couch," Xavier replied, his voice still deep. "You can take the bed.""You know what?" I said, scratching the back of my head. "Why don't we just sleep on the same bed?""Excuse me?" he muttered, amusement dancing in his brows."I mean, it's not that bad," I shrugged. "It could help us get comfortable before we get married, right? Besides, it's a king-size bed."Xavier glanced at the bed, and I let out a nervous laugh, walking towards it, my hands spread apart."I mean, it's so huge! Ten people could sleep here and still not touch each other.""Touch each other?" he asked.I swallowed hard. "Not like that! I mean, skin brushing against each other and all that. Pfft!""Hmm, I guess you're right," he nodded, raising both brows, a hand against his jaw.I laughed again, still nervous. "Exactly! So, it's fine."Xavier nodded, and we both climbed into bed, lying

    XavierAs our lips met, I felt a rush of excitement. The kiss was electrifying, and I could sense Alice's passion. But I broke it off suddenly, leaving her breathless and wanting more.I gazed at her for a moment, her eyes slowly opening, still cloudy with desire. Her lips were parted, inviting me to continue. I chuckled, amused by her reaction."What are you doing?" I asked, prompting her to quickly open her eyes, blinking fast."Oh, the kiss is already over?" she asked, her voice husky as she covered her lips.I smiled, and she quickly looked away. "So, I guess you aren't pulling off your gown?" I teased.Alice nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Yes...but I think we should stop the game now. Good night."She turned away, closing her eyes. I crawled to the other side of the bed, lying down and staring at the door. A smile still played on my lips as I touched my bottom lip, remembering the kiss. I couldn't stop smiling.I woke up that morning to find Alice still sleeping peace

    XavierI narrowed my eyes, and slowly softened the look on my face before letting a smirked crawl over my lips."Did you really think I'd forget you, Alice? Once bitten, twice shy, don't you think?"Alice looked taken aback. "What? You… you remember?""I remember everything, I chuckled, nodding my head. "I was only trying to pull your leg. You know, like those cliché movie scenes."As I spoke, I winced in pain, clutching my chest. Alice had slammed her hand against there, and I could see the anger and grief in her eyes. She was about to hit me again when the doctor intervened, gently prying Alice away. "Ma, please calm down. He's still recovering "She resisted, her eyes flashing with emotion. "No, I won't calm down! Did you see what he just did? He pretended not to know me!"I shook my head, a hint of a smile on my lips. "I'm sorry, Alice. I didn't mean to scare you.""How could you act like you don't know me?"

    AliceA WEEK LATERAs I gazed lovingly at my baby, I couldn't help but smile. She was so peaceful, breastfeeding and moving softly in my arms. I saw Xavier's features in her tiny face, and my heart swelled with love.Just then, the door opened, and Xavier's parents walked in, beaming with smiles. "Oh my goodness!" Xavier's mother exclaimed, rushing towards me. "Look at her! She looks just like Xavier!"I smiled warmly, feeling a pang of sadness. "Yes, she does."Xavier's mother cooed over the baby, admiring her tiny features."What about Wendy and her husband?" I asked. "They also promised to see me today.""They'll be here soon," Xavier's father replied. "They just stopped to...visit Xavier first."My eyes clouded with sadness, and I nodded silently. Xavier's father asked gently, "Don't you miss him?"Did he even need to ask? My face showed how much I missed him. It's been a weak already!"I miss him so much…" I replied, my voice trailing off. "But there's nothing we can do now, can

    AliceI slowly opened my eyes, wincing in pain. My head throbbed, and my body ached all over. As my gaze cleared, I realized I was in a familiar room - my ex-husband Ethan's bedroom. I sat up with a start, my heart racing.What was I doing here? I looked around, taking in the familiar surroundings. Even the bed was the same one where I'd caught Ethan and my step-sister Kate together. The memory still stung.I tried to piece together how I'd ended up here. Then, it hit me - Ethan had kidnapped me from the shopping mall. I'd been so scared, and now I was trapped.Determined to escape, I stood up, holding my stomach. I was still getting used to my pregnant body. I made my way to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. I tried again, but it wouldn't budge.Panic set in. I started banging on the door, shouting, "Let me out now! Let me out before you regret bringing me here!

    XavierI sat in the meeting, surrounded by CEOs and billionaires, discussing business deals and strategies. But my mind kept wandering, my heart skipping a beat for no apparent reason. I rubbed my chest, trying to shake off the odd feeling.Lumber, sitting beside me, noticed my discomfort. "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. As I walked out of the conference room, my secretary handed me a bottle of water. "Here, sir, drink this. It'll help calm your nerves."I took a sip, feeling a bit more centered. Then, I remembered my wife, and how I'd promis

  • 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

    AliceI walked slowly down the staircase, gripping a large, brown envelope containing the divorce finalization papers. Reaching the bottom step, I paused, looking up to see Xavier descending towards me. 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'll marry you."Xavier's face lit up with joy, and he slid the ring onto my finger. He stood up, his eyes never leaving mine, and kissed me like he never had before. I reciprocat

I couldn't ask for more."Shouldn't we call your parents, at least?" I asked, thinking of Wendy and how worried she must be. 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. "I love you so much, wifey.""I love you too," I replied, my heart full.Xavier's expression suddenly turned serious, and he swallowed hard. "Alice?" he called, his voice low and gentle."Yes,

However, my phone was still missing, and I suspected Phoebe had hidden it. I decided to purchase a new phone that same night and thankfully remembered Alice's phone number.I tried calling her, but she didn't answer. I tried again and again, but still, no response. Growing concerned, I decided to check her social media profiles. But when I reached her Instagram page, I found it had been deactivated.Confused and worried, I began searching for news about Alice.
