ALINA'S POV

She was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that Micheal had not been home for the past 2 weeks and every second that ticked by created a constant fear that he could be walking in through those doors at any minute and slam the divorce papers in her face, urging her to sign it. Coupled with all that stress she had not been able to contact her mother, neither has her mother called. The worry was eating away at her day by day. All she held unto was the fact that her mum would return to her in two months time, assuming he didn't cut off her treatment.

    MICHEAL'S POV"Hello?" He called into the receiver."Hey big brother" His sister, Agatha's voice sounded through the receiver."It must be because you need something, that's why you called me right?" He joked, leaning back into his chair, his ear still perched on the receiver."No" She stated firmly.He frowned in confusion.She sounded different, she wasn't sounding like her usual quirky self. He thought."Then why did you call?"He asked, a grin forming on his face unfazed by his sister's foul mood."I heard what happened between you and Alina." She stated. His grin faded to a deep frown. He hadn't heard that name for well over three months now.He had tried so hard not to remember her and his family members had done so well to not trigger any memories of her by saying her name. He still felt the sting of her betrayal from months ago and it gutted him anytime he thought about it.He had managed to keep their divorce under wraps away from the preying eyes of the media and paparazzi f

Her shoulders slumped as the webpage fully loaded. She let out a tired sigh,covering her head in her hands. Today was disappointing, she had no new mail in her inbox.Taking a deep breath, she switched off the laptop and chose to shove the discouraging thoughts from her head.She had been trying to call her mother for the past few weeks and she had not been responding to any of the messages or voicemails she had sent. She was beginning to worry and over the length of the discussion she had not yet found out her mother's whereabouts.'What is happening?" she thought aloud as she took the few steps to her kitchen to heat up the leftover lasagna she had made the night before.She haven't been h

You promised me that my daughter wouldn't be put in harm's way anymore!" She shrieked"I blame myself for trusting you!" She said aloud and walked past him to stand beside her bed. She took Alina's hand in hers and gave her a sad smile."My poor daughter is being neglected. I feel so sorry for her. "A muscle ticked in his cheek."Mum, that's not true. He's taking care of me" Alina defended weakly."You're too blinded to see it, Alina. The father of your child should be at your side at all times. Having lots of help from maids wouldn't just be enough. All the things that have happened are a testament to that fact." She complained.Micheal walked out ignoring Alina calling out to him.

And the way she looked when she stood outside her door...She shuddered to think of what must have been going through her mind at the time.That's why she had resolved to trap her in the kitchen when Martha had gone out to get groceries. They were alone."Tell me Linda, what exactly were you doing in my room last night?" She blurted out.Sandra looked up, the corners of her lips twitched but she was calm. She stared up at her with widened eyes."What are you talking about ma'am?" She asked feigning surprise."I was in my bed all night," She said.Alina scoffed."You don't expect me to believe that" she responded.Sandra shrugged."I'm sorry ma'am, but I have no clue what you're talking about

A smile crept up on his face as he saw the guilt playing on her face."I was just craving some ice cream," She said and made a show to bring the lid over it to cover it up.He walked over to her chuckling as he sat beside her."It's okay." He told her."You're allowed to have some" He reassured her pulling the lid off to drop back onto the table. "Go on" He urgedShe eyed him skeptically. "Are you okay?"

    MICHEAL'S POV When he had left for work that morning he had been in a good mood. Because Alina had listened to him for once in their lives, she listened to him. Only to find her here, the very place that he had forbade her from coming. His hands fisted on the table. It took most of his willpower to stop himself from walking over to her and rattling her. What the hell was she thinking? That he would allow her to work in her condition. She was selfish if she thought that working here was going to be good for her. "Micheal?" He shook his head at the sound of his name being called. He cleared his throat. "Miss Alina Sanders, what is your purpose for coming here?" He asked. There was a pregnant pause. He watched her eyes dart around the room as she thought of an answer. She rubbed her palms across her trouser-clasped thigh. "Because I believe that I have what it takes to work here." He nodded. "And how did you think that you were going to be able to handle working here? If you

Thank you, thank you so much" she said excitedly and dropped the receiver back onto the telephone body."Yes!"
