(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. "
Alex didn't allow his friend and Chloe to visit them, he kept them out of his penthouse and tried to spend his time with Bryan, who seemed to be slowly recognising him. Two weeks had passed, and although most of the time Bryan would be asleep, that didn't quite sit well with his father. "Why is he sleeping so much? In fact, all he does is sleep." That was the complaint made by Bryan's father, which made Mia laugh aloud. "Mr. Ian, babies tend to sleep the most at this stage because they need it, and if you're so irritated, please become his nanny so that I can rest well." She had teased him, and surprisingly, he just gave her a bored look instead of a cold face. Bryan would flap his hands whenever free, or roll on his stomach and sleep. He was closer to his mother, but of course he recognises his father now as well. He would stare at Alex's face for as long as he was trying to memorise it, and Alex would stare back. The staring game always had Mia rolling in laughter because bot
“Mark.....” “Don’t, Chloe, just leave me alone now.” He ordered, and she retracted her hand but didn’t budge from her spot. She wasn’t going to leave him like that. “I won't, Mark. You need to calm down; it’s okay.” Mark spun around and glared at her, which made her halt in her sentence. She watched as a muscle in his jaw ticked and the fire in his eyes as he glared at her. “It’s okay? You weren’t even going to tell me if I hadn’t forced it out of you. Why didn’t you call me yesterday, Chloe? It could have been dangerous.” His voice raised at her, and she felt her temper rising. “But I managed, and anyway, you were busy.” She snapped, and Mark’s eyes went to hers. She sounded like a jealous girlfriend, but she couldn’t help it. “I was busy, huh? So you didn’t want to disturb me, or you were angry because I left with her?” He took a step towards her, and she looked away, immediately taking a step back. It continued until her back hit the wall, and she had nowhere to go. “Tell
Alex kept a pillow on Bryan’s side so that he wouldn’t roll over and fall, and the next minute he was by Mia's side, as he scooped her in his arms. “Mr. Ian, what are you doing? Put me down!” Mia whispered yelled, dangling her legs but Alex paid no attention as he walked towards the door. Just as he reached the door, it opened and Chloe walked in. She stared at Mia in Alex's arms and gave a blank look, "what was going on?" She asked, confused. “Good that you’re here, I’m taking her out to have a chat, till then, stay with Bryan.” he ordered, as he walked out without waiting for her reply. Chloe was still standing there clueless when Bryan stirred and turned to the other side, which caused her to sprint towards the bed. She carefully settled down on the bed and adjusted the pillow properly before smiling down at him. Outside, as Alex reached his car, he set her down and she immediately stepped away from him glaring all the time. “What do you want, Mr. Ian?” She hissed, and he sig
The next few weeks were hectic for Alex, and he had only so much time to spend with Bryan. He would leave early and be back at midnight. Most times, Bryan would be asleep, and he would never disturb his son's sleeping hours for selfish reasons. George walked into his cabin after receiving permission. He stood in front of Alex. Alexander, who had been busy reading some documents, looked up when the room remained silent even after a few minutes. "What is it?" He asked, and George blinked before taking a deep breath and placing an envelope on his desk. Alexander glanced at him and then at the envelope on his desk before he picked it up. As he investigated the content inside the envelope, his face remained glued to the letter. After staring long and hard, his eyes went to George, who still stood before him. "Who gave you this?" He asked "It was already on my desk when I arrived, sir. I also asked the receptionist if she allowed any outsider inside without an appointment, but sh
