ALEXANDER I was shocked to find Bailee wasn’t there when I woke up. Since finding out she was pregnant, she had been sleeping like the dead, and her body seemed to have its own timer. She slept until around eight, but then she couldn’t go back to sleep no matter how tired she was. It was cute see
BAILEE I regretted it the instant the words came out of my mouth. All of my irrational thoughts and paranoia came crashing down as the room fell silent, and I could swear I could hear Alex’s heart stop as he realized that he had impregnated a crazy woman. “What is happening right now?” Daniel,
BAILEE Alex got a call from the office right after our conversation, and I used the excuse to escape the situation. I was in Brinley’s room to get her up and ready for daycare. I was very careful to avoid everyone in the house as I dressed her, grabbed a homemade breakfast bar for Brinley, and go
BAILEE “Your what?” Alex’s voice made all three of us jump and turn toward the doorway leading to the store. “You’re here!” I exclaimed with unreasonable excitement as I stood, my feet protesting the movement as my belly bumped the desk and stumbled back slightly. My eyes landed on the paper ba

BAILEEI held my breath as the housekeeper pushed open the hotel room door. The woman gave me a pitying look as I slipped her the cash I had promised in exchange for her help getting into my husband’s luxury suite. Caleb had been so rushed for his ‘urgent business meeting’ that he had forgotten his laptop. Like the loving wife I was, I raced over to grab it for him. I had made it my goal to make his life at home as easy on him as possible by helping where I could with the cooking and cleaning since he worked so hard to provide for us. It was never good enough for him, but little things like bringing him his laptop would surely make him happy.Only I had frozen in horror when I saw the messages popping up on his computer from his phone. The smiling, poorly clad woman stared back at me. I could see her nipps through her lace underwear, and she had one hand down between her legs, covering herself.His assistant. Lorna: I got your gift. I’m at the Rosewood Hotel. Don’t make me wait
