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
MIA'S POV After breastfeeding my baby, I was heading downstairs to have a fresh breath because I had been sitting inside the room for a whole month. When I got to the sitting room, I saw Alex and his ex-girlfriend arguing. I stood on the stairs listening to all they were saying until Bryan started crying, which made them look in my direction. Ella called me baby mama and a bitch, she doesn't know I'm married to Alex because we had a small wedding. I also heard she was coming to stay in the mansion. I'm going to avoid her the best I can, because I'm very sure she is here for trouble. While I was still breastfeeding Bryan, Mark came into the house. He didn't bother to greet me or my baby, he just followed Alex to his office. After a while, they came downstairs, and Alex told me that he wanted to see me. "Mia, I want to see you. Let's go to my office to talk better," Alex said. "You don't have to tell me anything, I heard everything, and I'm ok with it as long as she doesn't cross
lace. MIA'S POV While I was surfing through the internet, I saw a message from a strange number. The message was: "I have your sex tape. Don't think you can hide forever. I'm going to release the video online tomorrow by 12:00 pm. If only you can do what I say, then I might consider you, and I will not release it." I was shocked. A sex tape? The person said I'm not the type of lady that sleeps around. If the person thinks he/she can get me with this little thing, it is not possible. I'm not going to fall for this. Alex is the person that deflowered me, and I haven't slept with any other person apart from Alex, so I just ignored the message and continued with what I was doing. ALEX POV Hello, Mr. Ian," my private investigator said. "Yes? Any information?" I asked. "Yes, sir. Miss Ella and her husband got divorced seven months ago," The Private Investigator told me. "What caused the divorce?" I asked. "What I researched is that she was cheating on him, and her son isn't for h
MIA'S POV There was tension in the room, and Alex's expression hardened as he confronted Ella. He was determined to ensure Ethan's safety. The boy was innocent and did not understand what his mother was doing. I really pitied him. I just wished he had a better mum. "Ella," I called. "We want what's best for Ethan, and we believe it's important for all of us to be happy," I said, since Alex was not ready to speak first. "Wow, his baby mama wants to give me advice. Alex, can you see what you have caused?" Ella said sarcastically. "Will you keep quiet and let her finish what she is saying?" Alex shouted at Ella. Ella's eyes shifted between us, her emotions clear. She had her own plans, and she was ready to bring anyone down. As the conversation continued, it became clear that Ella had more on her mind than just co-parenting. "Ella, we already know the truth about Ethan," I said, watching her reaction. She laughed, but I knew it was fake, the kind of laughter that hides fear. "
