MIA'S POV After our visit to the hospital, Alex has been so nice to me, taking care of me in the little way he can. I was in the sitting room with Alex surfing through, when we heard noises outside. It can't be me the person wants to visit. I'm very sure because Chole is my only friend and almost all the guards know her now, and she has easy passage into the house now. When the noise didn't die down, Alex stood up to go outside to check what was going on. As he reached the entrance and was about to open the door, a lady burst into the living room with a little boy with her. The door almost hit Alex. I looked at the person strangely and looked back at what I was watching, because I don't know the person nor have I come across the person, they must be Alex visitor. “What do you want? Rebecca,” Alex asked, he was full of anger. His facial expression has changed, he looks like someone ready to burst. “I'm not going to ask the second time. What do you want, Ella?” Alex asked for th
A month passed by, and it felt like a year to Mia because too many things happened in that month. First of all, she got to know that Chloe had started working at the 'Ryan Industries'. It was shocking to know how much she disliked Mark, or maybe pretended to. About the regular checkups, Alex was there with her, and thankfully there were no complications. But after that day, he had been more aloof and cold. The court marriage information had been dropped to the press, because it meant letting the news spread everywhere because there was this procedure to allow objections to their marriage from anyone, and that would mean exposure. So now it was a normal wedding with all the rituals, they are doing that at Mark's mansion to avoid unnecessary attention. The wedding was just two days ahead, and she had yet to inform Chloe. Oh, how she was going to be killed with just her looks. The matter back at the orphanage had been solved as well, and she was glad that she had visited them and l
"I want to see a peacock!" Mia demanded "I showed you one." Alex responded. "That was on television." She glared at him angrily, and he sighed deeply. It was six in the morning when she had come barging inside his room, and tapped on his arm continuously until he woke up and demanded to see a peacock out of nowhere. His first reaction was to think of it as a dream, and go back to sleep. But then she started crying loudly, which caused him to wake up with a jerk. He looked at her crying state and realised that he wasn't dreaming and that it was happening in reality. Taking a deep breath and running a hand through his already messy hair, he stared at her with drowsy eyes. "What is it?" He whispered hoarsely, and she sniffed, looking at him. "I want to see a peacock." She demanded rubbing her nose, and he kept staring at her for a good two minutes until he realised she wasn't kidding. "Mia, we'll go to the zoo some other time. Now sleep, it isn't good for the baby." He muttere
Ever since Mia moved to Alex's room, her cravings increased and her request also increased and for Alex, his headache increased. He never imagined a pregnant woman's mood swings to be this dangerous. "Mr. Ian!" She yelled, as he shut his eyes tight when he heard her yell his name for the nth time. He couldn't even work in peace for ten minutes straight without her demanding or requesting something or another. "What do you need?" He asked in a calm tone, as she entered the room. He deliberately didn't look her way because whenever he would do so, she would start with her waterworks, for God knows what reason. "I need someone to talk to," she complained more, whining, and he nodded, engrossed in his laptop. "You have your best friend, call her." He suggested it, and she gritted her teeth in annoyance. Firstly, he is ignoring a pregnant woman, and now saying such nonsense things. "Mr. Ian, she isn't free to sit and chit chat with me. She has a job." she spoke in an angry tone,
'Gay? He's gay? Oh my God, that is why he married me. Because he didn't want to come out as gay in front of the whole world? Oh my God!' Mia thought, as she started to breathe abnormally as she heard Mark's words and silence from the other side. She didn't hear Alex accepting it, but neither did he deny it. "Mia? Mia, relax." Chloe tried to calm her down, but she wasn't listening. Her breaths turned harsh, and she started gasping for air. Hearing Chloe's panicked voice, both Alex and Mark moved outside and saw Mia's condition. Alex moved forward and tried to hold her shoulders, but she kept pushing him away. "Mia, what's wrong? Breathe, just breathe." Mark breathed deeply, asking her to do the same, and she tried to concentrate. He held her shoulders, and she let him, which made Alex look at her and Mark. A few minutes later, she was back to normal and sitting on the bed with Chloe by her side and the two men standing a little far apart. She drank some water, because Chloe in
Two months flew by with constant bickering, horrifying mood swings, a little tears here and there, some playfulness from Mark's side, some shopping spree with Chloe, and so much more. After the kiss Alex and Mia had shared on the gay issue, Alex was back to being cold, but he wasn't that distant. He was typically the Alexander Ian she once knew. Mia was in her last month of pregnancy, and she could deliver the baby at any time, so she was advised to be extra careful, which Alex, Maek, and Chloe took care of. "Mr. Ian," Mia called out, sitting on the bed, while a sigh was heard the next moment. "I'm right beside you, Mia." Alex stated, and she smiled sheepishly. It seems like it has become a habit to call out his name without acknowledging whether he is near or far. "I just need to use your laptop." She demanded, and he stared at her. When he made no movement to pass her the laptop, her eyebrows furrowed and her lips set in a thin line. "Why do you need it?" He questioned her,
Alex's lips twitched and he smiled at the feeling of his baby in his arms and seeing him up so close. It was difficult for Mia to control the gasp that escaped her mouth because she saw him smile for the very first time, and the monster truly had a beautiful smile. "He's tiny, just like you," he whispered, and she should've taken offence at being called tiny, but in that moment she didn't even register his words. The door opened, and Mia looked at Mark and Chloe stepping in. When her eyes landed back on the father and son duo, she frowned because the smile he had earlier had vanished. What did she expect? For him to keep smiling the whole day? Chloe came beside her and hugged her, before looking at the baby in Alex's arm, while Mark stood beside him. "I want to hold him." Mark declared, and Chloe frowned at him. "I will hold him first, I'm his aunt." Chloe argued with Mark, and he made a pity face at her. "So what am I? A stranger?" Mark asked as he scoffed, and Chloe
(ONE MONTH AFTER THE BIRTH OF BRYAN). ALEX POV We were preparing Bryan's bath. Although there are maids that can assist Mia, I chose to do it to be part of their lives, and I wanted to create a fatherly bond with my son While I was still bathing him, one of the maids came to inform me that someone wanted to see me. "Who??" I asked. "Mrs. Ella, sir," the maid answered. What does she want again? I thought, "I will be down in a few minutes," I declared. After assisting Mia with bathing Bryan, I went to the living room, where Ella and her son Ethan were seated. "To what do I owe you this visit?" I uttered. "Hello Lexy, I'm here again with your son," Ella said. "Son you say, how am I sure that I am a biological father?" I asked. "You don't have to be sure, he is your son, you can do a DNA test if you like." Ella spoke with confidence. "If you want to do the DNA test, make sure I'm informed," she added. "I laughed, so what do you want now, Ella?" I asked her. "I don't nee
