ALINA'S POV

The morning started out great.She had begun her day preparing breakfast because that activity always found a way to calm her because in a way,she had control there.From choosing the breakfast she was preparing, to the ingredients and the quantities that would be used,it gave her a bit of control that her life lacked at the moment.

She just hadn't expected to see Micheal downstairs so early.

It was a nice surprise and the time they had spent together was something that had replayed over in her mind,looking for something that she did that must have made him so annoyed at her that he had snapped at her when he was going out that morning.

    MICHEAL'S POV "Donald,I need you to do an extensive research on the ownership of Stacc estate"he ordered. "Right away sir"his assistant responded. He ended the call feeling more in control than he had been all morning. Alina's suggestion was indeed a good one.Yes,they needed to consult his wife. Mr.Stacc was a man that had married into wealth and from the circle he mingled with,he had often had conversations with the couple and it was clearly evident that he obeyed his wife because she owned the bulk of all their assets.And she would definitely not be too happy to hear that her husband was planning to change the plans they had already finalized on.Especially without informing her first,assuming she didn't know already.Which he highly doubted. He breathed a sigh of relief. "How come I didn't think of that?"He thought aloud as he plopped down on his chair. He rubbed away the slight ebbing of a headache. Reaching for his cabinet, he pulled out a packet of orange pills and some as

He felt his heart wrench as he watched the tear fall down her cheek.But he couldn't tell her what it was.He frowned."There is no secret"he stated firmly, busying his hands by searching for something on the coffee table."Then what does the message mean?"she insisted."None of your business" he snapped."Am your wife!even If we're to live our seperate lives,I still deserve to know what you could possibly be hiding from me"she explained,trailing behind him as he stomped out of the living room towards the kitchen."Alina!"he shouted.He spun around so fast he was afraid that he might have suffered a sense of whiplash."Why do always make things so difficult?"he asked as softly as he could."I'm just trying to understand you"she answere, her voice broke with each word spoken."How do I get it through your thick skull that we are nothing more than business partners.There is nothing about me that you should

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.

There were lots of questions playing in her head. There was no justification for why Linda would be in her room that late at night. 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

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?"

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.
