Lexi’s POV“Can I see the rest of the apartment?” I asked after checking the interior, “I meant outside and stuff?” I added when I realized that she doesn’t understand what I meant.Ma’am Deborah, the landlady of the apartment I’m checking out, and I walked out of the house and to the backyard.Everything about the apartment was Serene, it had a garden view and it’s so silent that I knew if I wanted to, I could actually hear myself think.The landlady is also a nice woman and I saw no reason as to why I shouldn’t take this, it’s affordable and if I wanted to, I could get a pet dog for my babies and I.“So,” ma’am Deborah’s voice put a halt to my thoughts as I turned to see her smiling widely at me, “Do you like it?” She asked and I nodded, making my way closer to her.“I love it, I mean, it’s everything anyone could ask for and I’m not greedy.” I laughed, she took my hand and followed me back into the house.I was ready, I could see myself living a happy life here and I really don’t w
Ivan’s POVIt’s been more than two long weeks of staying at home and I can’t wait to finally return to work, especially after all of the madness that I’ve had to endure.Thank goodness this Lexi is finally gone and out of my life.Groaning, I turned to plant a kiss on Celine’s forehead as I stood to get ready for work as I already have tons of meetings lined up for me with other paperworks to tend to.Finally ready for work, I made my way out of the house and to the car. I’ve spent weeks of my life allowing people to do things for me so I decided that I was going to resume doing things by myself.Despite being alone in the car, the air inside seemed tense. I felt so hot from within me that I had to loosen my tie and undo the first three buttons of my shirts.The drive through this road was bringing back memories, different memories that I couldn’t really place a finger on but I knew it was with a special someone and oddly enough the person doesn’t seem to be Celine.I closed my eyes t
Ivan’s POVThe meeting ended and I couldn’t be any more grateful. I brought out the prepared contract and passed it to everyone on the table and I watched their facial expression change.“You know what, Mr Alessio?” One of them finally spoke, breaking the silence. Whatever is going to come with what he intends to say wouldn’t be good news, I just know it.“We need some time to really think about it, we need to know if we’re really ready to invest such a huge amount of money into this so please, give us some time to think about it.” He smiled as they all returned the piece of papers back to me.My chest tightened and my fist clenched in anger, I could feel my blood boiling and I knew that their decision to think about it was probably because of my assistant, the same assistant I know absolutely nothing about.“It’s fine, I understand it’s a huge step to take so please take all the time you need.” I smiled even though that’s not the answer I planned on giving them.It’s strange, none of
Ivan’s POV“I’m sorry, what?” She said, like she hadn’t heard my question. Releasing her from my grip, I took a step back as I closed my eyes tightly and pinched the bridge of my nose.It was stressing me out, everything was overwhelming and I have no idea how long I can go on for before I actually go crazy.“It’s like everywhere I turn to all everyone can talk about is Lexi,” I started, “I almost lost a really huge contract today, which I have no idea if I still have it, because she didn’t follow me so I’m asking you, Celine, who is she?” I finished as I stared at her.I could see the anger in her eyes as they bore into mine but this time I don’t care if she’s angry or not, I’m not going to let her act like I have no right to know about Lexi because I know that I do.“Did you decide to call off the wedding and give yourself time because of Lexi?” She finally talked with her eyes open wide.“Why would you be talking about her when we’ve only just started living good?!” She yelled when
Lexi’s POVWhat was I thinking when I just called him like that?Honestly, I have absolutely no idea why I did but the good news I just got was so good that I couldn’t think of anyone else to call. I knew that I should’ve called Camille but deep down I wanted to call Ivan and share the good news with him too.I’d forgotten that if we were in good times then I wouldn’t be here in the first place, I wouldn’t be in search of a job and I wouldn’t be living alone.Sighing, I hung the call up so that I wouldn’t be tempted to say anything. I could tell that he was still sleeping from how husky his voice sounded.That voice still has a huge effect on me and I could feel my pussy squirting at the sound of his voice, cold chills ran down my spine and I knew that I was going to say something extremely stupid if I stayed on the phone.Calling Camille, she picked up on the third ring and her voice was sleepy too but soon cleared as soon as she heard my voice.“I got the job!” I shrieked and Camill
Lexi’s POVThe voice sounded so familiar that I just knew that I'd heard it before. Turning to the direction that the voice came from, my jaw dropped when I saw who it was.He carried himself with so much agility and confidence and he walked with so much grace, his hair scattered across his face and his suit fitted him very perfectly.At first I could swear that I saw Ivan but when I blinked and looked again, it wasn’t Ivan but Darren and I still remember his name because he’d introduced himself to me on the plane the first and last time we met.He placed his hands on my shoulders as soon as he got to me and I opened my mouth to say something but he beat me to it.“What were you doing?” He asked Bella who spluttered but couldn’t get any words out. Just some minutes ago she was acting like the world revolved around her and now she can’t even form a sentence?“You know how much I hate it when I repeat myself so do yourself a favor and start talking!” He yelled, making both me and Bella
Lexi’s POVHearing Darren call me his friends was kind of shocking because here I was already misunderstanding his kindness and our relationship when he only thought I’m his friend.“Thank you.” I said and he shrugged as he helped me get in his car like I can’t get in on my own. I gave him the name of the hospital and although he tried to make the ride there lively, it was a short ride from my house and I still wasn’t in the mood to talk.We soon got to the hospital and I followed Doctor Anna to the lab so that she was going to run a few tests on me to check the condition of me and my babies.“Lexi,” she started when what I assumed to be the last test results came out, “your condition isn’t getting any better and we really need to do something about it.” Dr Anna finished with a sigh.“I understand how connected you feel to your babies, I’m a mother too so believe me, I know but what do you do when you know deep down that keeping them inside you isn’t only endangering your life but the
Ivan’s POVReece and Ansel have been trying their best to help me since I asked for their help and I couldn’t have been any more grateful but it felt as though all of their efforts were nothing because as much as I tried I couldn’t remember anything.“Okay, just focus,” Ansel started as he placed charts in front of me, “do you remember that you created this with Lexi?” He asked.I took a look at the chart in front of me and it just doesn’t make any sense to me because I have never seen it before.They’d asked multiple questions about Lexi in hopes that it would help jog my memory but nothing they tried worked.After multiple questioning and talking, Ansel and Reece eventually gave up and decided to leave it to me to remember whenever I’m ready.Closing my eyes, the bright white light flashed across my mind again and I could see two people, a man and a woman, but I couldn’t make anything out of their faces.They were talking and laughing and I could feel their happiness, it felt as tho
