It was now only Kirklin and Alexandra in the Conference Room and both of them couldn’t wait anymore as they had missed each other so much.Alexandra peeped to ensure no one was around and she jumped on her CEO Lover. Kirklin grabbed her by the butt and gave her a tight hug.He put her down and said “My mischievous Queen, I’ve missed you sooo much”“You caught me unawares when you entered this morning. I almost screamed and jumped on you when I saw you… Why didn’t you tell me when we spoke earlier you’d be coming back today” She asked as she pouted her lips which made her look cute and sexy.Kirklin couldn’t resist her look as he was eager to eat her up. He kept on smiling as he always did whenever he looked at her and said “I actually canceled my last meeting when I couldn’t concentrate any longer. It’s been a week that I’ve not been with my queen…Come on, let’s go to my office”.As Alexandra turned to walk out with him behind her, he grabbed her by the tummy and pulled her close to h
Alexandra with a teary voice said to her CEO Lover “Kirkie, you are an extremely good person. I’ve enjoyed a whole month of a blissful relationship with you. Thank you for loving me fiercely and making me feel special”Kirklin was confused as to why she was saying all these words.She sniffed back her tears and continued “Kirkie, please whatever happens in the future…”Kirklin cut in and furrowed his eyebrow as he said “What do you mean… what’s going on with you Xandra? ... anyway, let’s go to the ER immediately…I’m not comfortable with the way you look so pale all of a sudden”.He called the Ops Director immediately to take charge since he and Alexandra were going out. He also called Mrs. Shookus to reschedule his external meetings as soon as she returned to work including the one in Belgium the next day.Alexandra could no longer oppose going to the hospital with him because she was very weak and it would be insane to go to the hospital by herself.Kirklin went to her desk to get he
Alexandra came out after she was done with the test. She was asked to wait outside for 10 minutes before the result would be out. She held her bag to her tummy and didn’t look at Kirklin as she sat on the row of chairs opposite his. She brought out her phone and drafted an email which she addressed and left in her draft. The 10 minutes wait was the longest she had ever experienced in her life and Kirklin just looked on as calmly as possible but he was boiling on the inside. The golden moment came and it was a new person who came out to invite her to meet with the doctor as the other one had closed since it was the change of shift period. This new personnel who didn’t know that she had requested not to do the test due to emotional readiness approached her with a huge smile to invite her inside. This would be the first time Alexandra would wish someone didn’t give her this kind of smile so before the staff could utter anything, she got up immediately and asked to be seen alone as she
Kirklin knew their relationship was over as it would only be natural for her to go and sort things out with her baby's dad.“Or could it mean she was trying to push the responsibility of the pregnancy to me but failed because I didn’t go in raw?…No, that can’t be…she was the one that insisted I should use protection”. Different thoughts ran through his mind as he couldn’t fathom why she had a sexual affair with him and another person at the same time. Her dishonest act of sleeping with him while pregnant for someone else disgusted him so much and he hated himself for it.He asked in his heart that the baby in her womb forgives him because he would never have done such a gross act if he knew she was pregnant. He wanted to leave the hospital immediately and even leave London completely because of the guilty conscience he felt towards the baby in her womb.He had hoped to get married and settle down to the simple lifestyle of London but that wouldn’t be possible anymore because he would
The slap would have qualified to compete in the world’s best slap if it had successfully landed on Kirklin’s face but he dodged it by grabbing her hand immediately she raised it up. “You still have the audacity to hit me after stabbing my heart? ... Xandra, you are indeed an unrealistic woman…You know how much I loved and cherished you wholeheartedly. Do I deserve to be treated this way?... Well, now that you’re leaving, the only memory I want to remain with me is the time I first set my eyes on you… your hard work at our…erm… my company… also the sweet moments of intimacy and unreserved laughter that we … {chokes}… that we had together… I’ll treasure these beautiful moments in my heart till I depart this world… Take good care of yourself and your baby and I wish you happiness” He said with a shaky voice. Alexandra who had been furious with the way he mocked her suddenly calmed down a bit after all he said. She knew she had hurt him deeply but she herself couldn’t come to grips with
Alexandra got to the Air BnB that she booked for one month. Her hosts were a nice middle-aged couple named Mr. and Mrs. Laurent (pronounced Lor-onn). Their only son was in the French military and he had been posted to a war zone so he rarely came home.Alexandra communicated with them in fluent French and introduced herself as Alexa. They liked her even more after she told them her name.Mrs. Laurent showed her around the accommodation and told her to be free to call them if she needed help. Alexandra thanked her and went straight to the bathroom to have a warm bath. As she took off her clothes, Kirklin’s distinctive sensual scent filled the atmosphere. They had made love the day before in the office and she still had hickeys left by him all over her body. Both of them were crazily in love with each other.Events that happened within the past 24 hours had devastated her and turned her sweet life upside down all of a sudden. She thought of Kirklin and wondered what he would be doing. S
As for Kirklin; he had searched everywhere in Paris for Alexandra but couldn't stumble on her. He even hired private investigators but they couldn’t find any trace of her. He dialed her phone number about 150 times every day with the hope that it would ring one day but nothing happened.She wasn't on any social media app and it was difficult to locate her. He remained in Paris for 2 months after she left him and he took time off every form of business activity just to look for her and brood over his loss.He still hoped she would return to the London Company one day so he halted his plans to hand over to Gems Group. He returned to London after 2 months and worked his ass off to keep himself busy. He had forwarded her resignation email to the Human Resources Director and informed him he was the one that granted her permission to attend to some private issues so they should waive any applicable penalty for her sudden notification.Alexandra had spoken with Mrs. Shookus and Ms. April on
The doctor examined her and discovered one of the twins had a rare condition of low blood supply and would require immediate blood transfusion as soon as she was born. This was due to a kind of trauma that was transferred to her as a reason of excessive stress and depression from the mother. Although it was an uncommon condition, it had a remedy which was to get the baby’s exact blood type and transfuse it into her within 24 hours of birth.Alexandra nearly passed out upon hearing the news. She didn't wish for her kids to pass through any trouble whatsoever. She felt she had gone through enough in her life and she prayed her kids had a smooth ride but this news made her heart jump.The doctor told her since she was the mother and there was a possibility of her baby having her blood type, she would need to donate the required amount of blood ahead of delivery. She prescribed iron medication for her to take and also advised her to eat lots of food rich in iron to boost her blood level i
Alexandra and Kirklin decided to let bygone be bygone and start their marriage on a clean sheet. Kirklin was grateful that she had the heart to still forgive him despite all he did to her. He promised to stay by her side and be the best husband to her till death do them part. He took her to his parent's house that evening and Keith and Kelsey were happy that he had decided to turn over a new leaf and treat his wife rightly. Kirklin called Samantha after they got back to their house to inform her that he wasn't interested in their affair anymore and warned her he would get the police involved if she made any attempt to come near him. Samantha was heartbroken by the call and she knew that was the end to the money she was collecting from Kirklin. She decided to focus on her other clients to siphon money from them. Kirklin was too ashamed of himself so he needed to ensure Alexandra got her health and good looks back. He took her on a one-month honeymoon to Hawaii where both of them hope
On his last attempt at checking the presidential suites, he knocked on the door of the last suite and there was no response. By this time, the crew had deployed the rescue boats and had started moving passengers into them based on levels of vulnerability.Kirklin banged on the door several times and he suspected Alexandra must be inside as the other 9 suites had other occupants.He dashed off to a tool room that was nearby and he got an axe which he used to successfully break open the door. Alexandra was sleeping beautifully under the duvet and Kirklin shouted her name which made her jump. She was at first annoyed as to why he was on the cruise, and he had forcefully come into her room.“There’s an emergency sweetheart… People are being evacuated…. Come with me now” he said hurriedly.She was so scared that she didn’t know what to do and the ship appeared to have tilted its side. Kirklin asked her to put on her pair of jeans immediately and a coat so as to keep warm a little. He hande
Kirklin regretted how he had caused their beautiful love affair that started as a CEO-Assistant relationship to deteriorate to the extent that he assaulted, abused, and victimized her. He hated himself for all his actions, but he had to sort Alexandra out first before he would think of himself. Alexandra cried so much and became very tired. Kirklin carried her to sit on the sofa and put her head on his chest so she could let out her tears. She narrated how she had attempted suicide and Kirklin pleaded with her never to think of suicide as an option to get out of a messy situation. “Sweetheart, suicide is not an option when you are in trouble. Think of what could happen positively the next minute you are gone. Think of the sorrow you would cause your loved ones after you are gone. I know life could be hard at times but there is always light at the end of every tunnel. All that is required is to hold on just one more time. I’m glad that you were able to speak with your foster parents
Kirklin hugged her and said “Babes, please forget all that happened and let’s start afresh, can we?”. He asked with a puppy face that he hadn’t made in years. Alexandra looked away as she couldn’t answer him because he had deeply injured her self-esteem, deprived her of a good life, and victimised her. “It’s not as easy as you think, Kirklin… I’m the one that went through the awful things and it’s difficult to live with the same man that caused my heartache” she replied. “I understand Xandra, I will not force you but please withdraw the divorce and let us concentrate on building our lives around these kids first, please… Now that they’ve started to have a balanced life, let’s not disrupt it with our marital issues”. He pleaded. Alexandra’s whole existence was for her kids as they were the priority she wouldn’t trade for anything. She said to him “Kirklin, now that you are the father of some of my babies, I would want you to be a part of their lives because it has always been my in
Kirklin got up, threw a fist in the air, and sat back on the bed. He didn’t understand how he got himself into this huge mess. “How can I convince Xandra that I’m sorry and let her know I won’t repeat any of those behaviors again?” He thought. “The poor girl cannot even trust or love you anymore, d*ckhead!” He exclaimed to himself as he smacked his forehead. He brought the bracelet out from his pocket and opened the drawer that Alexandra had brought it out from in order to return it. As he opened the drawer, he saw a very familiar item; his executive pen that had gone missing some years ago. He was confused over why it was in Alexandra’s drawer as he had never used that bedroom for anything. “This pen got missing at the hotel in Paris if I’m not mistaken?” he thought. Suddenly the door opened and he looked back. It was Alexandra who had come to pick up her things as she was ready to leave his house for good and stay with her parents-in-law pending the finalization of their divorce
Kirklin suddenly came to his senses as soon as he saw the original bracelet. He shouted repeatedly “Ohhh my goodness… Ohh my goodness…. Oh my goodn… {he then burst into tears at the revelation}. He continued to bawl uncontrollably as he recalled all that have happened over the years that he was blinded to. *** He just realized that it was Alexandra whom he accidentally took her first time at the restroom in Paris, and she was the one he gave the bracelet *** *** It just occurred to him that the accidental pregnancy that caused the turmoil in their relationship was his *** ***He thought, as he continued to cry upon realizing that the twin girls Abrielle and Annabelle are his biological children ***. This particular thought made him cry a lot in regret of his actions. *** “So, Alexandra has been innocent all these while and I messed up her life and mine as well”. He thought. *** *** If only he had been patient enough for her to explain herself on that day at the hospital, they cou
As Alexandra turned back to ask Kirklin about the bracelet, she saw him looking dejected and sad. “Could he be truly sorry?” She thought to herself but she soon shoved off the feeling as he didn’t deserve her empathy and she further determined in her heart to remain focused on their divorce. Kirklin, I never meant to intrude into your private life and I have never taken any of your things before. But there was a day I needed some money to go to the hospital and you wouldn’t give me any so I came here to check if I could find any amount to take me to the hospital but I didn’t see any money so I left.Kirklin continued to look at her calmly as she spoke. “I checked that last drawer and saw 2 bottles of perfume and a bracelet. Where did you buy the bracelet?” she asked. Kirklin didn’t understand what she meant at first as he appeared lost. He furrowed his eyebrow and said, “The bracelet?” “Yes, can I go and bring it out,” she asked. “Sure,” Kirklin said as he stretched out his hand
“Same with me” Alexandra cuts in. “But there was no how you could father another man’s child and you wouldn’t be able to trust me again due to what happened. By the way, you’ve been saying I almost made you lose your life and left you unconscious for months because of the feelings you had for me. Do you know I was the one that called the emergency service for help when I saw you unresponsive in your car?”“You did whaaat! Exclaimed Kirklin.“Yes, I banged on your car door consistently to get you up and I got drenched in the heavy rain with my suitcases. You were able to control your car to open and you were lucky enough that the ambulance arrived at the nick of time. Kirklin, I allowed every ill feeling we had during the day pass because I needed you to be alive and have a good life even if it would be without me. Unfortunately, you came back to life to take my own life…. That same night, I asked the front desk personnel if I could see the man that was just brought in whom I had calle
Alexandra looked at him and said “Sir, I think it’s rather late for any compromise. It’s okay if we talked about all that happened but it won’t change my mind cos you have completely ruined my life over the fact that I was unknowingly pregnant for someone else while in a relationship with you…. Kirklin, I lost my virginity accidentally to a stranger and I didn’t know that I was pregnant as a result of the mistake. You and I started an affair a few days after the act and I didn’t know that I was pregnant, else I wouldn’t have agreed to be your girlfriend. If you remember clearly on the Saturday meeting that you fixed…... {sniffs back tears} …I was really sad and you wanted to know what was wrong with me but I was not comfortable divulging it to you then. I was devastated by the mistake I made that led to me losing my virginity. We started dating a few days later and by this time, you had brought so much joy to me that I completely forgot about the horrible event which made me very sad
