Alice

I 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. Just get straight to the point. I'm busy," he replied.

"I just want to apologize," I began, but he interrupted me sharply.

"For what?" he asked.

"For telling those men I was pregnant."

"Can we talk later?" he said, his tone curt. "Like I said before, I'm busy."

I felt a pang of disappointment. "Okay, no problem. See you later then."

As I was about to end the call, my stomach growled loudly, reminding me that I hadn't eaten since morning. Goodness, this was embarrassing! I could only hope that he hadn't heard me, but…

Xavier quickly asked, "Hold on, are you hungry?"

"Hmm, no, I mean yes... I guess so," I stuttered.

"Alright then," he simply said, and ended the call.

I snarled, feeling a bit frustrated. "Why did he ask if I was hungry if he was just going to respond plainly and end the call like that? He didn't even ask if I wanted to eat or if he could bring me something."

What a husband I married! I know our marriage was just on paper and all, but couldn't he at least pretend to be considerate?

"So annoying," I seethed, and my stomach rumbled, vibrating excessively like I hadn't even eaten in weeks.

As I lay down on the bed, my stomach rumbled again, protesting its emptiness.

I laughed, rubbing my belly. "My baby must be hungry too," I said to myself.

While still lying down, I couldn't help but admire the beautiful ceiling above me. The intricate design and elegant chandelier were mesmerizing. I still couldn't believe that this magnificent room belonged to me, Alice Brown.

Just as I was getting comfortable, I heard a knock on the door. I stood up, wondering who it could be. Was it a member of Xavier's family or one of the workers I saw in the garden earlier? It couldn't be Xavier because the last time I remembered, he said he was busy with office work and whatnot.

I walked up to the door, trying to peek through the peephole, "Who is that?" I asked.

A soft, polite voice replied, "It's us, madam. The cooks. We've brought you some food."

I opened the door to find a tray of steaming hot food. My eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, but I never ordered all of this?"

"Master Xavier called us and told us that his wife was hungry," the eldest cook, who seemed to be the head chef, replied with a smile on her face. "He instructed us to prepare food for you and bring it to you immediately."

I felt a mix of emotions: surprise, gratitude, and a hint of warmth towards Xavier. He had been thoughtful and considerate, even if he hadn't shown it earlier.

"Wow," I said again, smiling.

The food was mouthwatering, with a delicious aroma that filled the air. After arranging the food on the side table, the cooks left, bowing their heads to me. I had to bow down as well, because I was clearly not used to this lavish lifestyle.

As I sat down at the table, I felt overwhelmed by the spread before me. I wondered where to start, but my eyes landed on the filled glass of red wine.

I picked it up and took a sip. The rich wine didn't disappoint; it had a really nice taste, refreshing my palate. "Ugh, this is so good," I thought, savoring the flavor.

I started eating and drinking, enjoying the meal immensely. The wine was exquisite, and I couldn't help but think that it was even better than the expensive wine my ex-husband, Ethan, and I had served at our wedding.

As I ate, I felt my hunger dissipate, and eventually, I had to stop, feeling satisfied. I covered the remaining food and headed to bed.

I fell asleep quickly, but my rest was short-lived. I was jolted awake by a voice saying, "Hey, who are you?"

I opened my eyes, disoriented, and sat up in bed, only to see a figure before me.

"Who are you?" I demanded, trying to see the speaker in the blur. "And what are you doing here?"

"I should be the one asking you that," the person said, her feminine voice resounding.

As the figure came into view, I saw that she was a young, beautiful, and tall lady. But before I could process anything, she grabbed my hair and pulled me off the bed.

"Let go of me!" I cried out in pain.

The lady continued to pull my hair, screaming at me. "Are you some thief? What the hell are you doing here?"

I felt a surge of pain and fear as she pulled my hair even harder with no remorse. Just as I thought things couldn't get worse, I heard Xavier's voice.

"Wendy!" he shouted.

The lady and I turned, and I saw Xavier walking towards us, a look of fury on his face.

"Wendy, what are you doing here?" he demanded his brows furrowed.

But before he could get an answer, Wendy pushed me back onto the bed, held Xavier's arm, and said, "He's my fiancé. What are you doing in our room?!"

My eyes widened in shock, and I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. Fiancé?

    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

    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

    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.

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 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.

  • 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.
