Chapter 29 "Kevin!" She squeaks excitedly, as she stands up to her feet, and hugs the tall man that just walked up to them. "It has been a while, Alicia. Look at you. You're looking so gorgeous. You've grown so big," The Kevin guy says, checking her out. "And you too. You're so handsome, like more handsome than before," Hearing her compliment another man in front of him, he slowly grits his teeth and tightens his hand on his thigh as he glares into space. He shouldn't be angry, but he can't help it. Why the fuck would she be so comfortable with another man, huh? He just fucking told her to stop talking to another man before they left home earlier, how can she be so inconsiderate? "Are you in love with her?" His subconscious mind asks him, and he scoffs. Hell no! He can't possibly be in love with her, right? She's older than him for fuck sake, how can he be in love with her? "I'm just angry that he doesn't respect me enough," He assures himself, trying so hard to be calm and handl
Chapter 30Tears stream down her cheeks as she stands on the balcony of their suite, staring at the picture in her locket. "Where are you, Felix?" She shuts her eyes and throws her head back as more tears stream down her cheeks. It's not the memories that hurt, but the fact that she still so much loved him even after everything that happened between them, the fact that she still can't get over him, no matter how much she tried to, over the years."Are you thinking of me too?" She whispers, even though she knows that there's no possibility of him missing her. He would've reached out to her if he missed her, right? 'If you want to get over Felix, you have to do something that'll get him off your mind. Maybe getting involved with another man' recalling what Lilian told her some years ago, she sighs briefly. Where the hell is she supposed to start? "Are you OK?" Hearing Ren's voice behind her, she quickly locks the locket and hides it beneath her dress as she turns to see him walking o
Chapter 31Next morning at Ren's suite... The early morning sunlight shines brightly and penetrates the room from the window, blinding Alicia's eyes as soon as she forces them open. Waiting to get used to the brightness, she finally forces her eyes open minutes later and stares up at the ceiling. Looking to the side of the bed, she sighs briefly when she doesn't get a glimpse of Ren. "Where is he?" She mumbles, sitting up on the bed and running her fingers through her hair tiredly. "Shit!" She curses under her breath when she recalls the incident of the previous day, and sighs briefly. Their day was ruined yesterday, all thanks to Emily that had to show up. For some seconds, she stop to think about her action yesterday. Why the hell was she so outrageous? Not that she's in love with him, so why the hell was she so pissed that he was talking with another woman? Still lost in thoughts, the bathroom door suddenly opens, and Ren walks into the room with just a white towel wrapping ar
Chapter 32After a round of hot sex in the morning, he falls flat beside her on the bed, both breathing hard as they stare up at the ceiling. That was the first fucking mind-blowing sex they ever had. "Why did you do that?" He suddenly asks, causing her to glance at him in confusion, wondering what he's talking about. "Yesterday at the cinema..." He says to clarify her confusion, and she bites her bottom lip, returning her gaze to the ceiling. How the hell is she supposed to tell him that she was angered because he was talking to another woman? That is crazy, right? "Nothing, I was just having mood swings," She shrugs, even though it's obvious that she's lying now. An awkward silence assumes the air afterward, as too many thoughts parade through her mind. Why the hell is she getting too comfortable with this man? Why's she attached to him, that she can't even resist this urge to always have him? What the hell is this dude doing to her for fuck's sake? "Where are we going today?"
Chapter 33 The next day Alicia tosses on the bed for the umpteenth time as she struggles to open her eyes, but they are just too heavy for her to open. She yawns, and finally sits up tiredly on the bed, running her fingers through her hair. "Are you OK?" Hearing Ren's voice, she raises her gaze to see him standing in front of the mirror with only a towel hanging around his waist, and his body dripping wet. He must've just finished having his bathing. "No, I'm not," She replies sluggishly, and yawns again, touching her forehead as she feels so dizzy. "What happened? Do you need to visit the hospital?" Worried, he asks as he walks over to the bed, and sits beside her. "Hmm, I think so," She replies to him. "I will take you to the hospital. I think you should have your bathe before we go to the hospital," He suggests, and she nods her head. Dragging herself up from the bed, she walks sluggishly into the bathroom, and slams the door behind her, while trying to keep her eyes o
Chapter 34 "Are you OK?" Ren asks as he drives her home a few minutes later, and she nods her head. She has been quiet since they got the news of her pregnancy, which had him thinking that she's not happy about it. Maybe he shouldn't have done this if it was going to hurt her. "Hmm," She hums, and he slowly nods his head. As much as he wants to further ask her a few questions, he feels that there'll be no need for that, since she may not be in a good mood now. Staring out through the window, she rubs her stomach with her hand, having mixed feelings. She's so happy that she's finally going to have a child but sad that she's in a fake marriage with Ren. This was not how she has always wanted to live her life, but all thanks to Felix that ruined everything for her. She bites her bottom lip, throwing her head on the headrest while having her eyes closed. Is she even ready for this? Will she be able to give her child the love he or she deserves later? What about Ren? What if they fin
Chapter 35"Are you cheating on me? Who is that girl?" Those words slip out of her lips before she can control them. She bites her bottom lip, realizing what she just said. She's not supposed to be jealous even though he's cheating on her. She doesn't have feelings for him, so what the hell does she care if he's fooling around with other women? "You are pregnant for him, and he should respect that," Her subconscious mind gives her a reason why she should be angry, and of course, she's going to hold on to that, because why not? "Alicia..." He calls and pauses to comport himself. "Don't call me, Ren. Who the hell was that woman you were talking to on the phone? Is she more beautiful than me? What the hell does she have that I don't?" She snaps angrily at him as tears well up in her eyes. Now, this is getting crazier. "Come on, babe... I wouldn't do that, OK? Why would I cheat on you? You are my only woman," He finally moves from where he's standing and pulls her into his arms. "Let
Chapter 36 "What's your plan for the child," He asks the question she has been dying to hear, and she gulps down nothing nervously, unsure of what 5o says. How's she supposed to tell him that she has fallen for him? How's she going to tell him that she doesn't want to divorce him again? "I don't know," She shrugs when she can't come up with anything to tell him. An awkward silence assumes the air as they both stare at each other, with his hands wrapped around her waist, as he gets lost in her beautiful eyes. How the hell did he end up loving this woman when it wasn't the plan? "When did you say we're leaving?" She breaks the awkward silence, and he shrugs. "In two days. I called mom already," He replies to her, and she nods her head. "In that case, I think I should start packing up then," She says as she manages to wriggle out of his arms, and walks over to the closet. Her heart beats rapidly against her chest, and she gulps down nothing nervously. "D
