Alexia’s POV“Well, we could also bring up you leaving said event with your very good friend Melinda” I retort“Nothing happened” he defends himself quickly. For an innocent person he does look a bit jumpy“I didn’t ask if anything happened because you are legally allowed to do whatever but I can say the same for myself. Nothing happened between me and your best friend” I assure him even though he doesn’t deserve it.“Good because that would be a very big conflict of interest” he says and I nod“You can leave now” I tell him and he nods. When will this awkward stage end? I am tired of doing this back and forth with Ethan every single bloody day. If I am not sorting a misunderstanding with Ethan then I am tolerating his mother or something. There is always one thing or the other. I just miss when things were normal. Speaking of normal, the twins will be graduating soon and then it will be their birthdays. I haven’t even thought of what to gift them.“Hey pretty lady” Bridget walks in a

ETHAN'S POVIt was already past 9:00pm when I finished perusing the report from the security and technical department about the Embezzlement allegations against Alexia. This is the second report they are sending to me and yet nothing new has unfolded. I sigh, feeling frustrated.I have always seen myself as someone who can unravel any complications and come to the bottom of it. However this Alexia’s is proving to be very difficult.On one hand I know within me, though I do not have any proof yet, that Alexia is not the person embezzling the company funds. Which is the reason why I need to catch the real culprit. In a few months from now, I will be taking over from my father as the new CEO, and I don't want to take over a company where there is a clever thief running free and framing others to cover up for their crime. I will get to the bottom of this no matter how tricky it may be, I silently vowed, not just because of the promise I made to Alexia's but to bring the person involved

Ethan's POVMy phone keeps ringing incessantly on the drive home. I wonder who will be calling so frequently at this time of the night. After the stunt Melinda pulled the other time, I doubt she would try this same thing again. But very few people have my number, so I am wondering who this caller could be. I searched for a space to park the car until I saw a relatively good place by the roadside. I parked the car and turned off the ignition. Picking up the phone, I accept the call as I see Ryan's name on the screen.“Hey, Ethan! Where are you, man?!” He yelled over the phone. I pulled the phone from my ears before he blew off my eardrums. I could hear loud noises in the background.“I'm on my way home Ryan” I replied without bothering to greet him. Let's just say I'm still a little peeved about how he spent more time with my wife at the party than I did with her, and I am her husband!“Get your ass over to Club 360 there is a bi..big…part…y going on here,” he said slurring“Ryan, are

Alexia’s POVI take a deep breath trying to calm myself so my brain can think. I mean for goodness’s sake they couldn’t tell me their rent was due sooner than this? I could have used my salary or something but it’s too late already and I am not sure whether I want to ask Ethan for help at all.“We are sorry we didn’t say anything sis, we thought we could handle it,” Aiden says looking as tense as I feel.“How well has handling it gotten you?” I retort sarcastically. I start pacing trying to think of the best way to handle this.“How much time do we have?” I ask praying to God we still have time to sort this out“Two months max,” Austin says. I sigh in relief, that is more than enough time to raise the funds. Now I just have to figure out how to do just that. I might need to ask Bridget for help. Sometimes being this helpless is depressing but there isn’t much I can do. “Is there any other pressing issue you would like to bring to my attention or we are good?” I ask, I don’t think I c

Alexia’s POVI wake up and do my usual morning routine but as I’m about to leave the house Ethan’s driver stops me“Good morning, ma’am, my boss said I should be taking you to work and bringing you home” When did Ethan start caring about how I transported myself?“Then who will drive him?” I ask knowing he wouldn’t give away his driver for me. that’s not how things work. “I don’t know but I am in charge of you now ma’am,” he tells me. I don’t know how I feel about giving away my freedom but it does save me from spending so much money for Ubers. Now I am starting to feel like his wife.I sigh but step into the vehicle, no need to argue with the poor driver. He doesn’t seem to like me much though, I guess he can join the queue of people who hate Alexia, the list keeps increasing.I get to the office in no time, the driver is actually very efficient and he didn’t try to engage me in unnecessary small talk but as soon as I get into the office Bridget walks in.“Hey Bridget” I greet my be

Alexia’s POV What could Ethan’s mother possibly want from me? the woman hates my guts and now she is forcing me to meet her visitor. This can’t be good; I am finding it hard to shake off the feeling that she has ulterior motives. “So, you mean my mother-in-law instructed you to bring me home to meet her guest?” I ask him needing more confirmation because it all sounds like a prank. “yes,” he replies and even adds a brief nod. I don’t think I like my odds one bit. “Okay then” I reply. I keep quiet since there was nothing else to add to the conversation We continue to drive to the mansion my mind a tornado of thoughts, trying to figure out what Mrs. Blackwood could want from me. I know she doesn’t miss me; she doesn’t even consider you her daughter-in-law. My brain tells me even though I already know that. I think hard trying to remember anything about a visitor coming to the mansion but my memory fails me. Once we arrive at the mansion, I take slow calculated steps into the hou

Alexia’s POV“Now tell me what happened” is the first thing he says to me as soon as we start driving off. I still can’t believe he took my side instead of Melinda’s but I take a deep breath and then begin to narrate everything in detail. Making sure he understood that I didn’t plan on attacking Melinda it just happened but I even added the fact that I didn’t feel guilty about it.“That is why no one should mess with you” he laughs after I finish telling him what happened. He doesn’t seem angry about my actions at all in fact if anything he looks amused.“You aren’t mad I fought with your childhood friend?” I ask him“Well, I wouldn’t advise you to go around slapping people who piss you off no matter how annoying they might be. Melinda is dangerous and she isn’t going to let it go. Even though I won’t allow anything to happen I still recommend not engaging her” he pauses for a few seconds then continues “but morals aside I can’t help but admit she might have deserved it. Do I support

Alexia’s POV“What are you talking about?” I ask him deciding playing dumb is the best way to go.“You know what I mean but I’ll cut you some slack because we are here” That’s when I look up and see where we are. We are at an amusement park.“Isn’t it locked or something? I mean it’s late already and they have closing hours” I ask worried if we would even be allowed in.“Well, you should start to know dear wife that I have my ways” he teases then gets out of the car before I get the chance, he opens my door for me and stretches his hand out which I take.“Oh really? That’s convenient” I laugh. He leads me through a passage I am not familiar with. I mean of course I know this place but I have always followed the front door. My blood rushes with adrenaline. I feel like we shouldn’t be sneaking into this place but here I am with my fake husband following a secret passageway into an amusement park.“So how did you find out about this secret passage?” I ask, wanting to find out more.“I to

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
