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 POVI wake up to see that Ethan is still sleeping peacefully on his side of the bed so I decide to check my phone and then I see over a dozen missed calls and text messages. It takes me a few seconds to register that the messages are from my brothers. I try to think of why my brothers would be calling me so much but then it clicks. I immediately jump out of bed like it’s made out of coals.“What is it?” he mumbles his voice still thick because of sleep“Today is their graduation,” I say rushing to gather my things and drag Ethan out of bed.“Your brothers?” he asks with a yawn while cleaning his eyes“I was meant to be with them since yesterday but because of everything that happened,d I forgot. I feel so terrible” I tell him, my eyes starting to water“Okay calm down, what time is the actual graduation” he asks me also trying to gather his things even though I know he would prefer to stay in.“It’s by 10 am Ethan and it’s already 7 am,” I say failing to hide the panic I feel

Alexia’s POV We get to the twin’s school a little after 11:30 and I know they are already halfway through the program but I still rush into the auditorium I manage to find a seat at the back. The event happens in a blur but I manage to spot my boys at the front with the other graduating students. Pride swells in my chest, I mean they grow up so fast. Just a few years ago I was so scared not knowing how we would survive without our parents around but by some miracle we pulled through together. Even though things didn’t turn out the way I thought it would be for example I am married to someone I barely know and because of said husband and his dramatic family I couldn’t stay with my brothers as promised. As soon as the event ends, I rush towards my brothers and give both of them a big hug. They look so mature in their gowns and everything I couldn’t hold the emotion back. “Stop you are embarrassing us” Austin says and laughs but Aiden doesn’t laugh. He seems upset, I guess I deserve i

Ethan’s POVThe night was perfect until Alexia had to wake up in a hurry. I never expected things to turn out the way they did but I can’t help but say I don’t regret a thing. I was right about Melinda, that girl has no boundaries and the fact that my mother supports her is just plain annoying. I had the best night with Alexia and I started to see her as more of a person and not the key to getting my father’s company.Now we are panicking and rushing to her brother’s graduation. I mean the way she cares about these boys is so cute even though I would never be able to relate to being an only child and all. What got to me was that a part of me felt guilty for being the reason she missed most of it but then again, another part of me didn’t regret a single thing.“So, where do you want to go?” I ask Alexia now that she is a little calm. I have been driving in circles for over an hour just to give her time to get herself together again. Her eyes are still puffy and it looks like she has be

Alexia’s POVThe drive home was fun, I don’t know how to explain it but it felt like a weight had been lifted after Ethan told me nothing happened between him and Melinda. I know I’m not meant to care about whatever he does with his life but the truth is I would rather he sleeps with an entire football field than Melinda. Call me petty but that is just how it is. After that whole hitch was settled, I genuinely felt lighter, like maybe this whole marriage arrangement with Ethan wouldn’t be so bad after all I started to feel genuinely happy about being married to him and I am starting to have faith that these three years will work out just fine.We get home and as soon as we try to go upstairs a voice booms “where on earth have you two been?” we turn around at the same time to see his mother standing crossed armed looking like she is about to devour both of us.“We just needed some time away mother” Ethan replies, I don’t think I have the confidence to say anything after the way I left

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
