Alice

I 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, trying to sound convincing. "Yeah, I guess."

"Oh please," she scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Spare me the nonsense. You two don’t even act like real lovers. Are you even getting married?"

A surge of irritation flared inside me.

"Yes, we are getting married," I said, my voice firm. "And I think you should leave now. I need to get some rest."

She sneered, her gaze scanning me from head to toe. "Why don’t you prove it then? Prove that you and Xavier are really getting married, and it’s not just one of his tricks."

"What do you mean by 'tricks'?" I asked, taken aback, my frown deepening.

"The last girl we brought, he said he was going to marry her, but what happened?" she laughed, shaking her head. "You're not the first one, and you won't be the last."

I glared at Wendy, nodding my head with such confidence.

"Fine," I said, huskily. "You want proof? I'll prove it. I'll stay with him in the same bedroom tonight, and you'll see that we aren't only truly getting married but genuinely in love with each other."

Wendy’s lips twisted into a crooked smile, a frown quickly forming on her face. I could see the disbelief and irritation in her expression.

I turned and walked away, with her following closely behind. I stopped and turned to face her. "What are you doing?"

Wendy's grin grew wider.

"I want to see you enter the room. I want to hear everything you and Xavier have to discuss. Besides," she said, taking a step closer to me, "I'll be the one staying in your bedroom tonight. Maybe then you and your lovely Xavier can continue your celibacy after tomorrow."

I felt a surge of annoyance, but I said nothing. I turned and continued walking, my mind racing with thoughts of Xavier's past. What Wendy had said echoed in my mind: "The last girl we brought, he said he was going to marry her, but what happened?"

I couldn't shake off the feeling that I might not be the only woman in Xavier's life. Was he a ladies' man? A Casanova? A playboy? The doubts swirled in my mind.

She stopped me before I could go further. "That's my brother's bedroom," she said, pointing to a huge, beautifully carved wooden door.

My eyes widened as I took in the intricate details on the door.

I breathed deeply, hesitating for a moment before knocking on the door.

And now here I am, standing before Xavier, who stared at me with a confusing mixture of emotions.

I took a few steps back, my eyes locking with his, but I couldn’t hold the gaze and quickly looked down. My back hit the door just as I saw his feet moving closer. Xavier closed the distance, his face now inches from mine.

I swallowed hard, my heart racing in my chest and then slowly took my gaze up to stare at him right back.

Xavier's eyes seemed unwavering, and I wondered how he could meet my gaze without flinching. He placed his hand against the door, trapping me, and I caught the scent of cigarette smoke on his breath.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice low and husky.

I swallowed again, my voice barely above a whisper. "I...I just want us to act normal, okay? Wendy is outside, and she wants me to prove—"

Xavier's eyes sparkled with amusement, interrupting me immediately. "Prove that we're really getting married?"

I nodded quickly, feeling a flush rise to my cheeks. He chuckled, the rich deep sound sending shivers down my spine.

"Wendy is at it again," he said, his voice laced with humor. "This is how she normally catches whoever is my fake fiancée. I'm not the type to share beds with… women in my place."

He added with a smirk on his handsome face. "Guess you'll be getting caught today."

"So, what's going to happen to me now?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "Am I going to be chased out? I don't have anywhere to go…"

As I stood there, I couldn't help but think about where I would go if I was chased out. I had no money, no one to turn to. My ex-husband had betrayed me, my step-sister had betrayed me, and even my friend Naomi had betrayed me. I felt utterly alone and vulnerable.

The thought of leaving sent a wave of panic through me. I wasn't even stable yet. I needed time to gather my thoughts, to save some money, and to get my life together. But now, I was battered and shattered, my emotions raw and exposed.

How could I possibly start over when I was still reeling from the past? The uncertainty was suffocating, and I felt like I was drowning in my own fears.

Xavier's expression softened, and he shook his head. "Don't worry, I won't let you be chased out, especially when you have a little me in your womb."

As he said this, his hand instinctively went to my stomach, but he hesitated, and I felt a flutter in my chest. That was when I realized that this baby in my womb could be his weakness.

I shouldn't play with you, little one! I thought.

Xavier's eyes locked onto mine, and he pulled me into a tight hug, his hands wrapped around me. "I'm going to kiss you hard now," he whispered, his breath sending shivers down my spine. "And I want you to try to make some, you know, loud sounds while we kiss."

I felt a surge of confusion. "What? Why?"

Xavier's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Because I know Wendy is still listening from behind the door. We need to make this convincing."

Before I could respond, Xavier's lips crashed against mine, his tongue sweeping in between my lips, taking hold of my mouth. The kiss was intense, passionate, and utterly overwhelming. I felt my lips parting, allowing him deeper access, as our tongues tangled together.

I could taste the mixture of sweet red wine and hints of cigarettes, but I was too deeply in not to break the kiss despite being a hater for cigarettes taste and smell.

As we kissed, the sounds of our lips meeting and parting filled the air - soft smacks, gentle suction, and husky breaths. My moans were muffled by Xavier's mouth, but I couldn't help the soft whimpers that escaped.

Xavier's hands roamed my body, pulling me closer, as our kiss deepened. I felt his chest pressing against mine, his heart pounding in rhythm with my own. The sounds of our kiss grew louder, more urgent, as if we were trying to devour each other.

Suddenly, he pulled back, his lips inches from mine. "I guess that is convincing enough?" he whispered.

I nodded, still breathless, as Xavier's lips curled into a sly smile.

"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

    XavierAs I returned home from work, I couldn't stop thinking about the camera I had found back at the office, or rather, in the bathroom. Lost in thought, I entered my mansion and didn't even realize I had passed my sister Wendy standing by the staircase until she grabbed my arm. Startled, I turned to see her looking at me with a concerned expression."Hey, what's up?" she asked. "I kept calling you, but you didn't reply. You were about to pass me by before I had to grab you. What's wrong, Xavier?"I sighed deeply, pulling my arm away from her hold. "I'm fine."Wendy's expression changed to a bright smile. "By the way, I love your wife - she's very nice. I think I'm going to give her a plus.""Okay," I muttered, nodding.Lost in thought, I didn't notice Alice, my wife, standing at the top of the stairs. She started to walk down, then paused and looked up at me with a bright smile. Quickly running down the stairs, she hugged me tightly."Welcome, dear husband," she said cheerfully.We

    AliceI was in my bedroom, scrolling through my phone on the bed when I suddenly remembered that I had left my underwear in Xavier's bedroom. I had been in his room earlier that day, and I was mortified that I had forgotten something so personal.Quickly, I jumped up and ran to his room, opening the door without knocking. I just had to get my underwear back, which was actually a bra sewn onto lacy-looking panties.As I entered, I was taken aback by the sight of Xavier standing there, blood trickling down from his nose to his mouth. I rushed to him, concern etched on my face, and held his huge face in my small hands."What happened? What's wrong with you?" I asked, my voice trembling with worry.But he just slightly pushed me away from him, his expression unreadable. "I'm fine," he said gruffly. "Why did you just enter without knocking?""I just wanted to get something that I forgot, and I was in a haste, sorry about that," I said, my eyes fixed on his bloody nose. "But what's wrong wi

    AliceAs soon as we stopped shouting, I grabbed my underwear from him and ran away without looking back. I burst into my bedroom, threw the panties on the bed, and slumped face-down on the bed.I started kicking my legs in embarrassment, pulling my hair, feeling like I was going to drown in shame. I had just seen Xavier's naked body!But then I stopped myself, thinking, "Wait, why am I acting like this? It's not like I've never seen his body before."Memories of our one-night stand flashed through my mind, and I scoffed as redness and heat flashed on my face.I composed myself, stood up, and left the room for dinner. I headed downstairs to find Wendy already at the dining table, asking, "Why didn't you come earlier? Now I'm almost done with the food," she said, a smirk on her lips.I forced a smile and sat down, starting to eat my dinner. Wendy looked at me with curiosity. "What about your husband? Isn't he coming downstairs to eat dinner?""I think he'll be coming downstairs soon," I

    XavierAs I walked out of the bedroom, I covered my face in embarrassment, my back against the door."What the fuck did I do?" I muttered to myself.Hold on. Did I just kiss Alice's forehead? I recalled the kiss, wondering why I did it. Because that made no sense. I also wondered what could be going on in my head. She must be wondering why I kissed her in such a sensitive area without any explanation, and it's not like Wendy was there with her usual staring, annoying eyes."She must think I'm a psycho," I sighed, shaking my head in frustration, but I composed myself upon seeing a few maids walk past me, bowing their heads.I pushed the thought aside and rushed off, entering my room. Then, I laid down on the bed, but the memory of the kiss lingered, echoing in my mind.What have you done, Xavier? Why was I too impulsive? Or was I just stressed? Should I really stay off work like Alice has advised?Just as I was trying to shake off the thought, my phone rang. I checked the screen and sa

"I'll get you a new shirt, sir. And I'll clean up this mess."I nodded, still trying to process what had just happened. "It's okay, Lily. Just...just be more careful next time."She nodded, with her gaze down, and quickly exited the room, leaving me to wonder what had just occurred. Then, she came back and cleaned up the mess. When she was done, she scurried out.As I stood there, trying to keep away the documents from my table, I couldn't help but think that this day was already off to a strange start. Just then, Lily returned with a crisp, white shirt, and handed it to me."Please, sir, wear this," she said, with a small smile."Hmm. Thank you…" I said softly, my voice trailing off.Lily's expression turned slightly wistful. "Don't worry about this, sir. It's actually mine. I've

    AliceI stood by the door, waiting for Xavier's car to pull up. I had seen his car from the window and heard the honk, so I rushed down. As soon as I saw him step out of the car, I smiled and hurried over to him. Then, I quickly took his briefcase and jacket, greeting him with a warm "Welcome home."Xavier raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by my sudden display of affection. "What's with the sudden behavior?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.I just smiled and replied, "Just come in, I have something to tell you."He nodded with furrowed brows, and we walked in together, passing by the grand staircase and entering his bedroom. As we stepped inside, I finally got a good look at him and noticed the white shirt he was wearing."Why is this shirt so tight on you?" I asked, tugging at the fabric slightly. The shirt looked out of place on him, and I couldn't help but wonder where it came from."Something happened at work," he replied, and my eyes widened."What's that?" I asked,

    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!

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.

"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.

    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

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.
