Ethan's POV “Sir, your 10 o'clock is here.” Alexia said as she pushed my door open to step in. “Seriously? You are still calling me sir?” “Aren't you my boss?” She countered “You know what I mean.” I insisted “Please remind me what you meant, because the last time I checked I am still your P.A and as such I have to address you as sir.” She said not willing to shift grounds. “Please send him in.” I said not ready for a fight. Since we got back together, it seems the old sweet Alexia was replaced with this argumentative Alexia. I don't know if the pregnancy also contributed to her being antsy. She jumps on every opportunity to fight with him. Despite the argument though, I would still choose her over everyone else. I would rather she argue with me than totally shutting me out of her life.. Besides, I find her arguments really endearing, though I will never admit it to her. “Okay sir.” She said as she walked out of my office. I know she did that to intentionally get a rise ou

Alexia’s POV “Thank God you are back! How was the doctor's session?” Jeff asked immediately after I stepped into the car. “It was okay, the doctor gave the all-clear report when after he examined me. Did something happen while I was inside?”Jeff exhaled before starting the car. “Well, your husband almost blew my phone up with incessant calls to find out if you were okay.”“Sorry about that. But why didn't he call me?” I asked curious.“He called your number but you weren't answering so he decided I was going to be the one to give him every minute update.” He said exasperated.Oh, shoot! I placed my phone in silent mode when before going into the doctor's office because I didn't want it ringing and disrupting the meeting. I didn't even remember to check to see if some calls came in.I dipped my hand into my purse and pulled out my phone. As I screwed through it, I saw that I had 12 missed calls. Eight were from Ethan and two were from Stacey. 10 missed calls? One would think there w

Alexia’s POV “Elsie please go get the door.” I said bringing out the fancy silver wares we are using for dinner tonight from the box we usually keep them.“Okay, ma!” Elsie said, covering the pot of porridge she was dishing from and heading out to the sitting room.After bringing out all the silverware I thought we would need, I proceeded to pick out a matching set of cups. This is the first dinner we will be hosting since Ethan moved out of the mansion and even though Ethan and I have our issues, I still want the dinner to be perfect and memorable.I just brought out the last cup when Stacey walked into the kitchen with Elsie’s following after her.I smiled widely at her. I'm so happy to see her. It's been so long since we last saw.“Hey!” I said rushing over to draw her into a hug.“Hey yourself! How come I got to find out about my best friend hosting a dinner from my boyfriend? What happened to girls before hoes?” She said in mock outrage, pulling away from the hug.My face fell.

Ethan's POV “That will be all guys. I have to go now.” I said picking up my suit from the armchair. The board members all stood up. “Thank you Mr Blackwoods. We are sorry for eating into your time.” Harrison the secretary of the board said as he gathered his folders to leave.“You are welcome. Do keep me informed on whatever you guys resolve on the issue as they all head out of my office.I quickly grabbed my suitcase and flung my suit jacket over my shoulder as I followed after them.The meeting with the board wasn't supposed to last this long. I thought it would just take us an hour to finish only to be shocked that it exceeded two hours.It was an emergency meeting by the board called on to discuss Kenneth and Bridget’s position in the company. Since Kenneth was the head of technical department of Blackwoods it was very imperative that we get someone to fill his space. Although it kills me to admit it, he was the best at what he does, so it has been one hell of a task getting so

Alexia’s POV“Thank you once again for allowing me brothers to train with your players. Though they have been preoccupied with studies, I am certain now that the holidays are around the corner they would most likely return to the basketball pitch.” I said, sitting on the chair Ryan pulled out for me. I gave him a sweet smile as I took a look around the dining table “Alexia, you know you don't have to keep thanking me for that every single time we meet,” Nathan said with an eye roll.I smiled gratefully at him as I allowed my gaze to move to each of our friends tonight. Stacey and Ryan are already here, and Nathan and his gorgeous wife too, the only people missing right now are Jeff and his family as well as my husband who is supposed to play host with me for this dinner. Now I understand what the phrase “being late to your party” truly means; because why would Ethan plan a dinner and still be late for the dinner?I take out my phone to call him again for the third time. He still doe

Ethan's POV “You look absolutely ravishing.” I can't help but compliment Alexia. She was the first person my eyes were drawn to the minute I stepped into the dining room. The dress accentuated her curves as it molded to her body like a second skin. Her protruded belly even adds to her allure. “Thank you, but I think my big belly may have ruined the effect. I feel like an inflated balloon.” She whispered disparagingly.“Sweetheart you are the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever laid my eyes on. I wish you could see that. You look perfect.” I reassured her with a smile, before handing over my suitcase and jacket to Elsie who had been standing dutifully behind us waiting to take them to my room.“Thank you.” “You are welcome sir!” she said hurrying away.I sat on the seat at the head of the table beside Alexia. I only want to ever be beside her. Now seated, I turned my attention to our amazing friends who have honored us by gracing our home with their presence. Friends, I could

Alexia’s POV “Dinner was lovely. I had so much fun. Thank you so much for having us over.” Stacey said as Ethan and I walked Ryan and herself to the door. Both of them are the last to leave after the dinner. Jeff and his family just left a couple of minutes ago, while Nathan and Grace had to leave first because of their daughter.The dinner turned out better than I expected. It was so much fun having all of them around. The teasing, the laughter, the fun, I haven't had that before. I have always been a loner. The only friend I had until Stacey was Bridget and with how badly that friendship turned out I was scared of letting anyone into my space.However, having these guys around for dinner tonight, made me realize that there are still good friends out there and how lucky I am to have them in my corner.“True! Thank you too Alexia darling!” Ryan said, smiling with mischief in his eyes.“Why is it only Alexia getting all the gratitude? What about me? Besides, that's my wife you are ca

Ethan's POV “You hurt me, Ethan, you did. My heart can't handle another betrayal.” Alexia said with a voice filled with pain.The pain in her voice wrenches my guts. I hate myself all over again for being the person responsible for that. “I am deeply sorry for hurting you. I know I have said it before, but I promise you that I will never cause you pain again. I didn't know Linda was such a despicable person.” I confessed honestly.It was the truth. I saw Linda as my childhood friend who had my back. I couldn't have imagined that she would stoop so low to lure me into sleeping with her and even proceed to fake a pregnancy.“Now that I know who she is, I have decided to cut ties with her.” I leaned forward as I wiped the tears flowing down from her cheek with my thumb. “Please stop crying, darling. I feel awful. If you forgive me, I promise I will spend the rest of my life dedicating myself to putting a smile on your face.” I swore meaning everything I said.She peered into my eyes as

Alexia’s POV “I don't want the pink dress. I want to put on the blue dress.” Amy pouted, shifting away from the pink dress like she found it offensive. My little girl looks beautiful with her red hair, Ethan's blue eyes, and a face so perfect “The pink dress is better and it brings out your eyes.” I tried reasoning with my 2-year-old daughter.Today is Allen and Amy's 2 years birthday and Ethan and I are throwing a party for them.The others will soon be here and Amy is still delaying us further.“No mummy. Blue is better because it's the color of my daddy's eyes. I rolled my eyes at her, not surprised by her response. Everything is always about Ethan, to say that my little girl and Ethan are close would be putting it mildly. I have been having this dress argument with her for the past 10 minutes and I'm about to insist she puts on the dress when Ethan walks into Amy's room.“Daddy!” Amy squealed excitedly as she ran at Ethan. I smiled ruefully as I watched Ethan pick up Amy and th

Ethan's POV “Look at my handsome grandson. Isn't he the cutest baby ever?” Mom cooed as she bent over our baby boy sleeping peacefully in his crib. A small smile played on my lips. I haven't seen her this excited in a very long time.“Yeah, he certainly is.” Dad, who is also standing behind her, agreed. “If only that dumb skull over there would allow us to see our granddaughter!” He added drily, shooting a furious glare at me. “I am not letting anyone near my princess, just yet. She needs to spend quality time with her daddy.” I repeated for the hundredth time today, scowling at my Dad and Mom. Just before they could retort, the door to our hospital room was pushed open and Nathan, Ryan, Stacey, and Grace walked into the room.“Great, the entire crew is here!” I grumbled surly. Amelia shoots me a dark look.“Ethan, be nice! They are here to celebrate with us and see the newest members of the family.” I shrugged. I know I was being an ass but can anyone blame me for wanting some alon

Alexia POV. “Come on Alexia, just one more push.” my doctor said for what must be the 20th time. “That’s what you said the last twenty times.” I groaned, glaring at the doctor. I know she is just doing her job but I can't help but feel frustrated. I have been in labor for the past thirty minutes and I still haven't pushed out a baby. I can feel my body tiring and the pain is like nothing I have ever felt before. “Darling just one more! I know you can do it.” Ethan who has been beside me this whole time said, still holding my hand. He looks just as frazzled as I look. I had the irrational urge to laugh as I stared at his rumpled look, imagining the reaction of his staff if they could see their prim and proper CEO looking anything but prim. As I imagined their faces, a fit of hysterical laughter burst out of me as both the doctor and Ethan exchanged twin looks of confusion, probably wondering if I had finally lost it, which just made me laugh harder. A high-pitched cry suddenly c

Alexia’s POV “You are the reason we are late for this dinner! So be ready to handle your mom's complaint.” I said, shooting an accusing look at Ethan as he helped me out of the car.“Don't worry! You can blame me, you can blame me.” He was laughing. I struggled to hold on to my anger as the laughter I had been holding on tried to bubble up at his playfulness. I love Ethan's playful side. It's a side very few people are privileged to see.He took my hand in his ass and ushered me into the mansion.The dining room was as grand as I remembered but it still looked cold and sterile. Our dining room isn't as big and grand as this but I will pick it over this one anytime, any day because of the warmth it exudes.The long table was elegantly set with silverware, crystal glasses, and ivory candles that cast a warm glow across the room. At one end, Ethan’s mom was already fussing over the placements, rearranging flowers and adjusting napkins, her excitement barely contained.As we entered the

Ethan's POV “Gentlemen, I think what you guys have come up with is good but if we want to truly broaden our space in France we could do better than this.” I said viewed the projections on the screen.I leaned back on my chair. One of the benefits of being the CEO is that you are privileged to sit at the head of the table and take in the reaction of your team. I noticed that at more comment some of my team members nodded their agreement while some were still frowning like they don't totally agree with me, which is actually okay by me. I am comfortable enough in my space to allow dissenting opinions so long as the reasons are good. In my view it helps in business.Liam lifted his eyes to meet mine like he was about to say something and just as I was about to tell him to go ahead, my phone buzzed quietly on the table. I glanced down, and a small smile tugged at my lips when I saw it was Alexia's name flash on the screen. This one she is calling me in the middle of work, she must be m

Alexia’s POV I thought about all I had learned this morning as I approached Nathan’s office. What she had found was more complicated than she’d anticipated, and she knew she needed Nathan’s support to get to the bottom of it.I tapped lightly on the frosted glass door, hearing the muffled “Come in” from inside. Taking a deep breath, I stepped in, finding Nathan behind his desk, absorbed in his computer screen, closing the door behind me, as I walked up to his desk. The sound of the door closing, jolted him as he looked up in surprise, his eyes lighting up when he saw her.“You are back so soon?” He asked, sounding surprised.I smiled at him. “Yes, at least for now. I have spoken to a few of your staff, and I think I will speak to the others later. I don't want to rush things so whoever is responsible wouldn't suspect we are unto him or her.Nathan raised an eyebrow, interest immediately piqued. “Did you find anything from the few of them you spoke with?”I nodded, settling into th

Alexia’s POV I munch on the apple Elsie placed in my front earlier. I feel restless as I sit here just eating food and watching TV. I wonder how those stay-at-home moms do it. I envy them because these past couple of weeks off work have me feeling antsy and restless.Our sitting room which was bathed in a soft, afternoon light, with the faint scent of her favorite lavender candle lingering in the air, would usually cheer me up a bit, but today the reverse was the case.I was just reaching for the fashion magazine Stacey brought when she came to visit last week when my phone buzzed.Seeing Nathan’s name flash on the screen, I answered with a calm voice, trying to hide the surprise I felt. This should be the first time I am getting a call from him. "Hey, Nathan! What’s up?""Alexia, sorry to call out of the blue like this," he began, his tone unusually serious. “I know you are on bed rest and shouldn't be doing any work, which is why I feel like shit calling you, but I have exhausted

Ethan's POV I leaned back in my chair, my sharp gaze fixed on the report in front of me. For the umpteenth time, I wish Alexia was here to help me with this. Fielding reports was her area of expertise, not mine.I glared at the series of financial graphs glowing from my tablet screen, if only I could magically wish them away, thought, sighing deeply.Despite the report's importance, my mind was elsewhere. I rubbed a hand across my jaw, lost in thought, wondering if I should take a rare moment off and spend some time with his wife.I have been on these reports for the past two hours and I haven't made much of a progress.Just when I was about to push the report aside and take some much-needed break, my phone rang, jolting me from his reverie. Dad's name flashed like a beacon on the screen and a flicker of surprise coursed through me. I certainly wasn't expecting a call from him. He seldom called unless it was about business.“Dad,” I answered, my voice sounding professional, though w

Ethan's POV I picked up my suit jacket from the back of the chair I had hung it earlier, ready to call it in. It's been one hell of a day filled with a series of meetings. I had barely catch my breath since I got back from my visit with Ken.As I strode out of my office, locking the door behind me, I noticed the lobby was nearly empty, which isn't strange seeing as I am almost always the last to leave the office. Chloe had gone home about an hour ago.I walked through the main hall keeping my stride calm but purposeful.I know looked more relaxed than heI had in the series of meetings as if I was shedding the CEO mantle with each step toward the exit.I took the elevators to the down floor today. I want to conserve the little energy I have left because I intend to play some fun games with Alexia when I get home. I already anticipated the thrill of playing with her would be elicited inside.Stepping out from the elevator I strolled to where my car was parked outside and opened the p
