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 Sleeping in Ethan's new room was like an extra level of luxury. Since I came back to live with him a month ago I have been staying in the guest room much to Ethan's chagrin.I had told him that I forgave him last night, but the truth I didn't want to admit is that I don't think I could ever not forgive Ethan no matter what he does and that is what scares me.Last night when he knelt before me showing that level of vulnerability I felt emboldened. And then there was that kiss, the way his mouth dominated mine, I couldn't have resisted such intense pleasure even if my life depended on it. The way he touched, knowing the exact spot to touch to turn me on, it was like my body was pulled tight by a string and he was the one holding the string.I grew wet again just remembering how many times he took me as I stretched out upon his soft bed sheets with morning sunlight filtering in through the curtains. He must have gone to work already, I thought.He has always been the morni
Ethan's POV Last night was electric. The sex was exhilarating. Every touch, every orgasm was breathtaking. I lost count of how many times I made Alexia come. Who knew my beautiful angel was a sex minx, even when I wanted to stop so she could rest because of her condition, the little minx wouldn't have that. It was only when the body couldn't take it anymore as exhaustion took over that she finally slept off. I wanted to wake her up this morning to give her a good morning kiss but she was sleeping so beautifully that I couldn't allow myself to disturb her rest. I can't wait to see Alexia. Leaving her sleeping peacefully on my bed this morning was one of the hardest things I have ever done, which is why I left specific instructions to Chloe to tell her to come see me as soon as she arrived.The door to my office opens and the most beautiful woman in the world walks in. She looks so gorgeous. She wore one of the outfits I got for her recently. I never knew seeing a woman put on cloth
Alexia’s POV “Chloe sounded serious when she said you wanted to see me immediately. Did something happen?” I asked while straightening my clothes as I attempted to hide the fact that I just had mind-blowing sex at work.Ethan chuckles in amusement as he watches my poor attempt at discretion.“Darling, I am sorry to say this…” he doesn't appear sorry. “But I think it's too late for that, when everyone within six feet of this office probably heard you screaming my name a few minutes ago.” He grinned in pure male satisfaction.I rolled my eyes at him, huffing in mock indignation at his antics. “Just answer the bloody question Ethan!” I glared at him.“Oops someone is still all tense and worked up, maybe I need to relieve you some more of that pent up energy.” He said, wiggling his eyebrows. He must have noticed how infuriated I am because he immediately added, “Nothing happened, I just wanted to see my wife, besides I was horny and since I can't very well get it from someone else, I ne
2 months later Ethan's POV “Mum, what are you doing here?” I asked in shock as I rose from the couch I was lying on, totally forgetting the book I was reading a few minutes ago.My mother shrugged like she didn't just barge into my home this sunny afternoon as she strides fully into my sitting room and takes the seat opposite mine. I watched as she placed her bag on the ground, a picture of serenity like she didn't just barge into my home without notice.“Mom, I asked a question,” I repeated as I sat up.“Well, since Mohammad won't go to the mountain, the mountain has come to Mohammad. I have decided to come see you since you won't deem it fit to come see your mother.” Oh, she started with the blackmailing game. This can't be good, especially knowing Alexia is currently sleeping upstairs and could wake up at any moment from now. I don't want her to wake up to Mum's drama. I have to make sure I wrap up this impromptu meeting as soon as possible.Sighing deeply, I turned to fix her w
Alexia’s POV My keeps ringing incessantly on my nightstand. I placed a pillow on my head in an attempt to muffle the sound but the damn thing was still blaring. Whoever was calling, was determined to blow off my phone. Groaning in annoyance, I threw the pillow away and heaved myself up a little as I stretched to pick up the phone from the nightstand. I didn't bother to check who was calling before answering the phone. “Hello, Alexia darling!” A voice shrilled excitedly. My eyes widened in surprise. Could it be who I think it is? I thought as I took the phone from my ear to check the number before placing it back on my ear.“Alexia, are you still there?” Ethan's Mom asked.“Umm, yes I am still here ma'am, uh Good morning.” I stuttered, still shocked that she called me. How did she even get my contact?“Good! So I was thinking about going shopping for the babies at one of my friend’s shops. She has a kiddies shop downtown. So I wanted to find out the sex of the babies to guide me in
Alexia's POV “Hi Girlfriend!, I have missed you.” Stacey said as she came over to place a kiss on my cheek before going over to sit on the couch opposite mine.“I missed you too. I am glad.” I said smiling as I tuck in my dress.We are at one of the relaxation centers not too far from my place. She had called me earlier this morning after I had finished having breakfast to ask me to come along for an impromptu girls hang out. I was initially reluctant to go out because I know Ethan would have had a fit if he found out I wasn't sleeping at home but rather went out. I was tired and bored of staying indoors all day. Since I stopped working this week, I have been holed up in this doing nothing really productive. So when Stacey called, after a bit of initial hesitancy, I jumped on the offer.“You look gorgeous for an 8 months pregnant woman.” Stacey said teasingly. “Thank you darling. You look beautiful too! See as your skin is glowing!.” I meant what I said. She was wearing a gray and
Ethan’s POV “Darling I am home!” I shouted as soon as I entered the house.I was met with silence. Could it be that Alexia has already fallen asleep? I wondered as I kept my briefcase on the table and took the stairs two at a time as I bounded up to our bedroom. Twisting the knob and pushing the door open, my gaze goes straight to the bed which has been properly made but very empty. I immediately became pensive as all manner of frantic thoughts whirled around my head.I ran down the stairs as I head for the kitchen “Elsie!” I bellowed frantically before I could even round the corner to the kitchen.“I'm coming!” She yelled as she came running to meet midway. She looked startled as she nervously straightened her apron that was askew and wasn't that flour sticking to her cheeks? I guess she was probably fixing dinner when my call interrupted her. I know I should feel bad about that, but I subconsciously waved the errant thought away as I focused on the reason I called her in the fi
