What's wrong? Are you okay?

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-08 21:06:38

Alexandra's POV.

Grabbing my stomach with a hand, I tried to place the other on the table only to toss a glass over in the process.

The crashing sound made me the center of attention but it was soon resolved.

Leaning over, Ethan held my shoulder, “Are you alright?" He asked.

“Yeah." I nodded but he still wouldn't let go.

To convince him I was fine like I had claimed, I forced a smile at him, only then did he release his brow which he had creased.

This time around, he was walking right next to me and at intervals, I could feel his hot gaze on me which made me even more uncomfortable.

My nauseousness got even more worse but I held myself back from throwing up or showing any signs, hoping I would be able to bear it until I returned home.

We were almost nearing the door when I swirled around and with the speed of lightning, I made my way towards the bathroom.

I was just in time, else I would have made a mess of myself and the restaurant if I was a minute late.

    Alexandra's POV My stomach clenched tightly at my father's words. Hospital? No, I wouldn't let that happen. Doing that was a risk I wasn't even going to venture into as my father was definitely going to find out that I didn't take out the child. Before now, I was breathing heavily so I switched to occasional pants. “Hold on, I will call the ambulance right away." Father said in a breath, pulling out his phone from his pockets He was almost dialing the emergency contact when I grabbed his hand, and with all the strength I could muster, I sat up. “Dad," I called, my hand resting on my forehead as I threw my feet off the bed. “Stay still." He hushed, trying to make me lie on my back but I was obstinate. “I'm fine, you shouldn't call the ambulance." I mumbled, pushing my hair off my face. For a moment, father didn't say a word as he kept staring at me in disbelief. "I’m being sincere here, I'm fine.” I flashed a smile at him when he still wouldn't budge. It seemed father was

    Alexandra's POV.The moment the lights went off, there was chaos in the living room as everyone was speaking at the same time, unwilling to listen to what the next person had to say. Flashlights pooped out from all corners but it was not enough to illuminate the whole room, though it managed to cover some places. Looking around, I found my father speaking to a man and immediately after the man took his leave, he hit his palms together to get the attention of everyone present. With a loud and firm voice, he said, “I apologize for the inconveniences, we are going to fix the issue right away.” His words were able to placate the guests and the murmuring died down. Finally, the light was restored and the engagement ceremony continued in a full swing. At the end of it, I retired to my room. I had just stepped into my sleeping gown when I heard a knock and with no doubt, I was certain it was father on the other end. Staring at the door, I made no move towards it. "I know you are not

When she was done, the fashion designer in charge of my gown came through, helping me into the customized gown father had gotten for me. To make this marriage leave an indelible mark in the mind of all the guests he had invited, father had spent a fortune. By the time they were done with helping me prepare for my wedding, I wore a different look that made the smile on my lips broaden. “I'm so beautiful." I mumbled, checking out myself in the mirror while the ladies chuckled behind me. “I had only applied a little make up on your face, nothing else. You're already beautiful." The beautician complimented.So not to be left out, the fashion designer also chipped in her own compliment before they both left my room, leaving me to myself.

Ethan broke the silence with an awkward chuckle but father didn't respond; instead, he fixed his gaze on me. What am I going to do now? — I questioned, my chest heavy with different thoughts threatening to take away my sanity as the tension in the room became even more thick. “You didn't take out the child like you made me believe." Father spoke for the first time with a voice barely above a whisper but I heard him clearly. The disappointment in his tone which was also laced with anger couldn't be missed too and for a moment, I felt life sipping out of me slowly. Gulping, I tried to speak but words refused to form.

I was no longer the heiress of Scott Enterprise, neither was I the daughter of Edward Scott. Grabbing my duffel bag which held a little of my belongings, I stepped out of the premises and didn't stop walking despite having nowhere in mind to go. Father had given a strict warning that he didn't want to see me anywhere near his property. If he could disown me without batting his eyelids, handing me over to the police for trespassing was an easy task for him too. The look I was getting from passersby made my skin crawl.Without having to ask them, I knew they were wondering why a lady in a wedding gown was walking on the road and clutching a duffel bag.

    Alexandra's POV I took the last step into the room and sighed, my shoulders slumping down as I did that. “He isn't here” I muttered to myself, then picked my phone up, putting a call across to my cousin, Theresa. She picked on the first ring and her low voice came from the other end of the phone. “Home already?” Theresa asked, and I nodded like she could see me from where she was. “Yes, I'm home, but he isn't here, Asher didn't come home again” I complained, tears welling up at the corner of my eyes, blurring my vision. “Calm down Sandra” Theresa said, but I couldn't. I sniffled back tears but they still came trickling down my face. “It's been like this for months, Theresa” I said, my voice barely above a whisper as I said those words. “Maybe he is just late, he will be home soon, he just got off work, remember?” Theresa said, her voice muffled as if she was being cautious as someone was around her. Knowing this, I didn't want to inconvenience her further with my problems, an

    Asher's POV. My gaze turned to Sandra in shock, I wasn't expecting her sudden visit, it wasn't a visit, she had caught me cheating on her. I cussed under my breath, the betrayal gnawing at me for getting caught. “Asher, you?” She finally said after being awfully quiet for minutes, her voice sounding cool like someone who was fine with what she had discovered but I knew better than to believe that. I slid my boxers on right under the blanket as I fastened my belt and Theresa hissed, only concerned about the fun getting disrupted. Getting off the bed, I walked closer to her, still in shock as I never expected this, not even in the years to come. Her eyes darted from me to Theresa who got off the bed also, the blanket covering her naked body. “Sandra, it's not totally what you think!” I said, my hands moving to touch her but it only grazed her skin as she moved a step backward stopping me. “You've been cheating on me??” She asked, her voice cracking as I hated the way she sounded,

I fell unconscious for minutes that seemed like eternity but Asher didn't care about me, but his baby who his mistress was carrying. “Barren” The word still echoed in my mind even when I tried to shake it off, he saw me as someone who's barren, he called me a BARREN WOMAN. I had never known Asher was so desperate to get a child. We never talked about it the hard way, we were never bothered by it but I was wrong, I was only being kept in the dark. I stood up, my whole body feeling weak, I shook my head hoping to face reality but all that had happened came flashing before my eyes again. It felt too cruel to be true.

    Alexandra's POV.The knock on my door made me nuzzle more deeply into my bed, using my pillow to shield my ears from the annoying knock but it was to no avail. Whosoever it was at the other end of the door was determined to get me off my bed. Frustrated and angry, I tossed my pillow aside and with my hair all over my face, I groped towards the door, pulling it open. “What do you want?" I managed to hold myself back from yelling at the domestic staff that was behind my door. “You look a mess." She commented and instantly, I shoved my hair from my face. Leaning close, shs whispered, “A man is here to see you, going downstairs this way isn't ideal.” Her words made my heart stop beating as my mouth dropped open but I didn't say a word. “Hurry, he had been waiting for a while now." She said but before I could make further enquiries she was nowhere to be found.Reluctantly but quickly, I cleaned up to meet whoever my visitor was. Deep down, I was praying and hoping that it doesn't t

    Alexandra’s POV.Father stilled at my response. Wasn't this what he wanted?Since he had managed to make me go against my will, he should be all over the moon with happiness. “What? Did I make the wrong decision?" I snarled at him, unable to hold back the anger that was welling inside of me. Shaking his head slowly, he lowered himself on the couch. Holding my hands, he peered into my eyes, “Are you sure about this?" He asked. Parting my lips, I wanted to give him an immediate response but I kicked against it. In my angry state, I had no control over my words so the best option was to remain mute and if my response was so crucial, it should be done with sign language. “Alex," He called, eliciting a nod from me. Fulfilled, he hit his palms together in triumph while on the other hand, I was bemoaning my fate. While I was still seated in the living room, my father made a call to the hospital to book an appointment for me the next day. All through the night, I couldn't get a wink

    Alexandra's POV.Ignoring father's hot gaze on me, I hurriedly made my way towards the stairs, grasping my gown as anger overwhelmed me. Before the Blackwood’s came in, I already told father I wasn't ready to get into any marriage right now but he feigned not to have heard me. “Young lady, come back here. We aren't done with our conversation yet." Father yelled at me but I refused to acknowledge him. I had nothing to say to him; he should save his words and let me be. Getting to the top of the stairs, in my haste to get away, I bumped into a domestic staff, slowing my pace and letting father catch up with me. Grabbing me by my arm, he pulled me down the stairs until we were standing in the middle of the living room, sizing each other up. “Why are you doing this to me father?" I groaned, my heartbeat becoming erratic as tears filled my eyes. “Because I want the best for you." He slurred in his speech. Pushing his hand forward, he tried to touch me but I veered backwards, still g
