Ava's gaze lingered on the melting ball of ice cream before her, but her focus was drawn outside, where Alexander stood with his back to her, engrossed in a phone call. The warm afternoon sun painted golden streaks on his broad shoulders, and the sound of his deep voice reached her ears faintly. She couldn't help the small smile tugging at her lips. Two months in, and their lives felt like they were perfectly aligned for the first time.

Her pregnancy was now visibly showing, a small but noticeable curve beneath her loose dress. The thought of their growing baby filled her with warmth and excitement, a feeling mirrored in Alexander’s every action these days. The joy of planning their future and talking about parenthood had brought a new layer of closeness between them.

Alexander ended the call and turned toward her, closing the distance in a few swift strides. His rare smile, one she’d learned to cherish, lit up his face.

"Hey, baby," he said, his voice warm and teasing. "Are you reall

    Alexander breathed out in his car in the middle of road , he could remember how persuasive his grandfather was when he was talking about the arranged marriage, his grandfather means alot to him and he couldn't afford to make him uncomfortable. His phone rang out disrupting the silence maintained in the car, he picked it up and checked who the caller id was. The person was someone he always go to whenever he needs a break from all the heavy loads his head carries to be less burdensome. He picked up and waited for her to speak . Hello Xander, I just got to your house and saw a stranger who calls herself Ava, Linda voice sounded over the phone, her soft voice made him feel relaxed. But did she just say she was at the house? He wasn't really against it but.... Why did you go to the house without informing me? and why didn't you go over to my place instead? Alexander inquired. "What do you mean Xander?

    “ Xander, are you getting married? “ Linda puffy eyes, red to the brim with pain and sadness questioned Alexander. Alexander was shocked because he never expected such question from her. His neutral expression rolled in just as he adjusted himself to make her sit up on the bed. “ I am getting married Linda, this is what I can do to make my grandpa happy, Alexander explained to her. Linda broke down again in terrible sobs as she begged Alexander not to get married. “ You can't get married Alexander, what would happen to me now? We have been together for long now and if you were to get married it should be me, just please do something, I can't bear seeing you married to another woman” Her sobbing body clashed with Alexander's rigid one as he coaxed her to stop crying, he hates seeing her sad and if it was within his jurisdiction, he would have listen to her but this was out of his control now. He couldn't back down from the marriage…. Linda eyes dried up as she began to keep calm,

He walked towards the center table and picked up the first aid box.Alexander stiff figure attended to her bruised elbow and ankles, he was looking annoyed and reprimanded her.“ Why weren't you careful that you had to slip in the bedroom? What if something had happen and it was more severe? “ I am fine now aren't I? I was just sad about your marriage thing and didn't pay attention to what I was doing, Linda said while sounding sad.Alexander felt guilty, when he came in, he went into the room and saw her sitting down on the cold floor in the bathroom , she was looking pitiful and he was scared. He picked her up and left her in the bedroom to dress up after picking a dress for her.He didn't have the courage to keep scolding her and just attended to her wound.“ Just be more careful, I am not going anywhere okay?

    Ava was rendered speechless because she wasn't even given the time to reply before Linda hung up on her. Her face lost it colour as she recalled what Linda said over the phone.“ Alexander was in the bathroom, she should call back later” Alexander was in the bathroom doing what when she had called his line now thrice and he hadn't stepped out of the bathroom, did he and Linda have sex in his office? Different thoughts rang in her head as she picture different scenario that could have occurred. She paced around her office, on a second thought should she just go over to his office ? Linda was there but Alexander wouldn't like the idea of her coming to the company even if he permitted Linda. With the idea crossed out, she sat back into her chair and decided to just wait and call him back.******Alexander stepped into his office commanding respect with his tensed shoulder showing exhaustion, he rubbed in-between his brows to clear some thoughts and saw the sulking figure of Linda on the

    Alexander stood by the doorframe, watching Ava with a tenderness that he rarely allowed himself to feel. Her chest rose and fell with the rhythm of sleep, her face soft despite the evident exhaustion. He leaned forward, pressing a gentle kiss on her forehead, lingering for a moment before pulling back.The dim light of the room cast shadows across the walls, and as he straightened, a resolve settled over him. Ava needed time to recover, and he would make sure she had it. Turning quietly, he exited the room, shutting the door softly behind him.Walking into the living room, he spotted Monica arranging a vase of fresh flowers on the table. She looked up as he approached."Ava will stay in bed for a while longer," Alexander began, his voice steady but tinged with concern. "Get her some food, something light but nourishing, and take it to her room. Make sure she doesn’t wake up hungry. Stay nearby in case she stirs awake. I’ll be in the study."Monica nodded, her features reflecting the r

    Ava leaned against the kitchen counter, brushing a strand of hair from her face as she took a deep breath. The aroma of roasted vegetables and freshly baked bread filled the air, mingling with the faint hum of laughter from the living room. She had worked tirelessly to make the evening special—a feast to celebrate Alexander’s recent breakthrough.Her heart swelled with pride when she thought of him. For weeks, he had poured every ounce of himself into his work, and tonight was proof that the sleepless nights and endless planning had paid off. She wanted to honor that. She wanted him to feel cherished.“Ma’am,” Monica’s voice broke through her thoughts. The housekeeper’s warm smile matched her tone. “The dining area is set, and we’re ready to go. I’m so happy for you both.”Ava returned the smile, though exhaustion tugged at her features. “Don’t stand on ceremony, Monica. We made this happen together. You’ve been with us so long, you’re practically family now.”Monica’s cheeks flushed

    Alexander woke up, instinctively reaching for the other side of the bed. His fingers brushed against the cool sheets, and a sense of emptiness gnawed at him. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, he stared at the vacant space beside him. The absence of warmth signaled she had been gone for some time.His eyes darted toward the clock on the wall—6:15 a.m. Too early for her to be up, he thought. His chest tightened as unease crept in. His mind immediately conjured worst-case scenarios, fueled by his protective instincts and an irrational fear he couldn’t shake.Throwing off the covers, Alexander swung his legs off the bed and stood. His rumpled hair and unkempt look mirrored his internal disarray, but he didn’t care. He needed to find Ava. The thought of her being out of sight, even for a moment, unnerved him.He hurried down the hall, his footsteps echoing faintly in the quiet house. As he approached the living room, he was met with silence. A quick scan revealed nothing out of place, y

    The sunlight seeped through the curtains, casting soft golden rays onto the living room floor. Ava reclined on the plush sofa, her hand protectively resting on her growing belly. The room was calm, save for the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the far wall. Alexander sat beside her, his dark eyes searching her face for any sign of discomfort.“I know for such that something like this needs your utmost rest,” he began, his tone low yet firm. “And I hope you’re willing to compromise. Your job could be held till you’re out of bed and back to your feet.” He paused, gauging her reaction. “You need to prioritize yourself now.”Ava’s lips curved into a slight pout, her fingers playing with the edge of her blouse. “But what if I get too bored?” she teased, though her voice carried a hint of genuine concern.Alexander leaned closer, his presence exuding reassurance. “Baby, I know, and that’s why I won’t go to work every day. And when I do, I’ll make sure to come back early enough. Is that okay

    Ava stirred in her sleep, turning over in the dim light of the room. Her soft, supple body pressed against Alexander, her leg brushing over his thigh. The subtle pressure and her intoxicating warmth sent a jolt through him, and his eyes flickered open.The faint glow of the bedside lamp cast a golden hue over her serene face. Her head rested on his chest, her breath soft and rhythmic. She shifted slightly, and her cheek brushed against him, causing him to stiffen beneath her.Alexander’s jaw tightened as he suppressed a groan. He didn’t need this—not now, not in the middle of the night when his self-control was already hanging by a thread. But the way she nuzzled closer, seeking comfort in his embrace, made it impossible to stay detached.Her hazy eyes blinked open slowly, and for a moment, their gazes locked. She looked up at him, her expression drowsy but undeniably alluring. “Hmm… baby, are you awake?” she murmured, her voice a blend of sleep and mischief.Alexander swallowed hard,

    Alexander sat across from Grandpa Pascal on the porch as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The air was light, filled with the chirping of crickets and the occasional rustle of leaves as a breeze swept through. Their laughter mixed with the sounds of the evening, making the moment feel surreal—peaceful, even.After everything they’d been through, these moments felt like stolen treasures.“What’s next now, Alex?” Grandpa Pascal asked, his voice steady but curious.Alexander leaned back in his chair, his eyes reflecting the fading sunlight. “I want to start fresh with her, Grandpa. Redo everything.” He let out a soft chuckle, though it didn’t hide the hint of regret in his tone. “We could have another wedding, make new memories, and even renew our marriage certificates. You know, I never signed the divorce papers. I was just… stupid back then. I lost her because of my own mistakes.”Grandpa Pascal nodded thoughtfully, his wrinkled hands restin

    Ava woke up the next morning, the sunlight gently filtering through the curtains. The house was eerily quiet, save for the faint clinking of dishes coming from the kitchen. She padded out in her silk robe, her steps light but deliberate. When she entered the kitchen, her gaze fell on Monica and Janet, who were busily chatting while preparing something. Their faces lit up as they noticed her.“Mrs. Pascal, you’re awake?” Monica’s voice carried an excited warmth that made Ava’s lips curve slightly. “We were just discussing going grocery shopping. Is there anything specific you’d like us to get?”Ava paused, taking in the genuine enthusiasm on their faces. These two women had been a constant presence in her life, even during the times she had wanted things to be different and for Alexander to at least see her. She owed them more than she cared to admit.“Well,” she began, her voice softer than usual, “if you don’t think I need anything after considering everything, then I trust you’ll ma

    Ava stood in front of the full-length mirror in their bedroom, the soft morning light filtering through the blinds, casting long shadows across the floor. Her reflection showed a woman on the edge of a new chapter. There was no denying it now—her life was changing in ways she hadn't fully processed. Her hand instinctively moved to her stomach, the subtle swell a constant reminder of the life growing inside her. Her heart fluttered at the thought.She was pregnant.The weight of the word still felt surreal. She had always been the one in control, the doctor who could solve any problem, who had all the answers. But this... this was different. This wasn’t something she could just fix with science or experience. This was something completely outside her realm of control. It was raw, unpredictable, and so deeply personal.Turning around, she found Alexander leaning against the doorframe, watching her quietly. His presence always had a way of grounding her, calming the storm of emotions she
