“What?” He feigned surprise. “It's only fair I told him first since he is the head of the family and all…” Whereas the rest at the table bought the cheap theatrics, Alicia snorted under her breath.

“He tells me you are married.” Jonathan addressed Alicia with an awkward calmness. She swallowed nervously, and Theo noted how anxious she had become all of a sudden. He stretched his hand under the table and gripped her thigh. Alicia drawled strength from the simple touch of her husband.

“Yes, father.” She said calmly.

“And you are pregnant as well?”

“Yes, father.”

“Congratulations, my dear,” Jonathan murmured tightly, shocking everyone further. “I hope you and your husband share many years of happiness, like your mother and I have.”

“I wouldn't exactly say…” Theo began, but Alicia pinched him, shushing him instantly before she uttered a forced, 'thank you, father.'

The rest of their time there went on in a similar fashion, with Theo and Jonathan fighting to conceal their animosity thr

    Theo scurried behind an extremely angry Alicia, who hadn't said a word to him throughout the ride home. Truth was, she didn't want to air their argument for the employee's amusement. That's why she increased her strides, wanting to get to the safety of their bedroom before she explodes on her very much aware husband. “Come on, baby girl,” Theo called out halfway through the stairs. But Alicia didn't acknowledge him. Which made the nerd wonder if he had taken it too far with his in laws.After shutting the door behind him, Theo observed a fuming Alicia warily. If he had thought she was angry earlier, he had never been so wrong. This Alicia felt more like a ticking time bomb, ready to go off if Theo attempts even to breathe in the wrong way. But the nerd is dense like, that, so he approached his sexier-than hell wife. “Talk to me, please.” He implored, reaching out to hold her hand.“Don't you dare touch me!” She screamed, taking an instinctive step back, like Theo's touch had burned he

    “Start talking,” Alicia breathed, collapsing next to her husband. They were both struggling to steady their ragged breaths.“Really woman?” Theo mocked, “I just gave you two intense orgasms, and you won't even let me catch a breath before you start with your drilling.” He groaned playfully, turning on his side to face her. “Theodore Cavill, I swear on all I hold holy…” “Calm your tits, woman!” He interrupted, reaching out to cup her face. “Let me just bask in this beauty for a while,” Alicia opened her mouth to protest, “please,” all the fight fled from her body and she nodded. “Come here,” Theo smiled, pulled her into his arms, and just cuddled her. In perfect silence. “You know I love you, right?” He asked randomly. Alicia turned her neck and gazed into his expressive eyes. How could she not know when he was staring at her like his entire world begins and ends with her? “Of course, I know.” She admitted with a hint of gloating. He didn't miss it. And he loved the fact that she be

    Xavier opened the fridge and just stared inside without lifting a finger. He knew he wanted to fetch a bottle of water, but he couldn't bring himself to loosen his deathly grip on the fridge door. For some reason, hearing Stephen admit that the reason he hooked up with him in the first place was because he looked like his old lover, stung. Xavier now understood why the man froze when they bumped into each other outside Theo's mansion. He doesn't know how long he stood there, but the next thing he knew was Stephen circling his hands around his waist. “What's wrong?” Stephen felt stupid for asking that question as soon as the words fell out of his mouth. “You can't seriously be mad at me,” he rasped, rubbing his face on Xavier's back. “I am not mad, Stephen.” Xavier retorted, turning and stepped out of the man's arms. “Just surprised.” He closed the fridge without even taking the water and leaned on it. “Would you have told me?” Stephen shook his head. “There was nothing to tell,” “R

    When the young couple woke up again, it was past 10 am. Theo was supposed to leave for a business trip the following day, but before he left, the nerdy billionaire wanted to accompany his wife to the clinic and get to know the sex of their babies. And he was damn excited to know.“What if they are all girls?” Alicia asked, gauging his reaction.“Then I will be the father of the girls.” Theo grinned. “I can imagine taking all my girls shopping.” “You hate shopping.” She laughed.“True, but perhaps that will change once it's my kids in question.” He said seriously, making Alicia snort. “Look at all the things I used to hate but love when it comes to you.” He argued. “Like what? Name one.” She challenged. “You can eat from my plate.” He retorted with a straight face.“By the way, what's up with that?” Alicia had realized on more than one occasion that Xavier would opt to 'steal' her food, but wouldn't attempt to do so with his brother's plate. She hadn't thought much about it, until no

    “What do you want, Mother?” Theo glared at the beautiful woman wearing a binge skirt suit and red pumps.“I was waiting for you at the hospital, but you didn't show, and neither did you pick up your phone.” She accused with a scowl. “Did you forget about the doctor's appointment?”“Of course, they didn't forget, mum.” Theo groaned upon hearing his brother's voice, who hadn't come into view yet. “I told you they had to be going at it.” “I don't know what's more embarrassing,” Alicia moaned just as Xavier appeared. “My brother-in-law talking about my sex life like a norm, or my mother-in-law not even flinching at the said talk.” “Oh darling,” Hilda cooed, walking towards the tub and kissing Alicia's forehead. “I doubt you and the nerd over here are doing anything I haven't done or heard of before.” Alicia groaned, turning her neck, attempting to hide her flushed face. “Now get out of the damn tub and let's go see my grandbabies.” Xavier chuckled at the couple's expense, fetching his ph

    Xavier alighted at Theo's gate, after promising his sister-in-law that he will meet her the following day, since the nerd will be out of the country. “Get lost,” Theo growled to Alicia's delight.“Calm down, tiger.” She laughed, leaning further onto her husband's side. Theo dropped a kiss on her head, feeling emotional that he would be leaving her behind. Alicia picked up on his strain and reminded him that they had the whole afternoon to do whatever and that they would be video calling now and then.******On Xavier's part, he got to his house and found a rather nervous-looking Stephen. “I don't see why we have to go,” the hunk rasped, hugging his man tightly. “We can stay at home and do a lot of things we would both enjoy.” He pleaded. It only made Xavier want to go more.“I am sure I will enjoy this excursion even more.” He argued rushing upstairs to grab a jacket and in under five minutes, they were pulling out of Xavier's compound, with his chauffeur, Claudio, behind the wheel.

    It took Stephen a minute before he pulled away, groaning regrettably. He rubbed his face in dismay. “That shouldn't have happened.” He rasped, seemingly miserable.“You love him,” Fisher muttered instead pointedly. Stephen was confused for a little while. "How do you know?" He frowned.Fisher looked at the irresistible man before him and chuckled. “You are still gullible, I see.” Stephen flipped him off with a 'fuck you, before the two men dissolved in a burst of familiar laughter. It was nice to laugh together after so long. “I guess you came all the way to check if you still felt something for me.” It wasn't a question. Stephen nodded mortified. “And now?” Fisher asked amused. Even he could tell the hunk's heart was no longer his. “That kiss was different,” Stephen admitted. “I didn't feel the…” He trailed, looking for the appropriate word. “Sparks?” Fisher raised his brows.“Yeah.”“That's because the one you share that with now, is seated alone in the damn car outside,” Fisher m

    Two days later, Alicia woke up alone yet again in the enormous bed and felt more lonely than the day before. She had slept in one of Theo's t-shirts and on his side of the bed. She had lured herself to sleep by sniffing his pillow with his soothing voice in her ear. He had made a point of calling her in the morning, and before she slept, though he was in a different time zone. She yawned, fetching her phone, and checked the time. It was a quarter to nine and no doubt past midnight where Theo was, but she knew he would be video calling shortly. She rushed to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and sprinkled water on her face. She checked her reflection, untangling her hair, just before she heard her phone ringing. With a gigantic smile on her face, she hurried back to her bedroom and picked it up. Theo's sleepy face filled her screen. “Baby girl,” he whispered, so deep, that she gulped. His sleep-lidded voice was scratchy in all the right ways, and she would be damned if her pants didn't

    “I just might,” Xavier whispered, training his hot gaze on Stephen. “But sadly not today.” He added, lingering his gaze on the hunk for a little longer before turning on his heels and re-entering his brother's room. As if on cue, Theo's body began jerking. Martin rushed to hold his son down, fearing that the tubes sticking from his body might dislocate from the involuntary movements. “Xavier,” Theo groaned without opening his eyes. Chances were he was still out of it, and it was his subconscious pushing his fears to be voiced. “I am here, bro.” Xavier rasped, staring at his elder brother intently. “I am here.” He repeated. A good two minutes passed before Theo whimpered. “Please take care of them for me.” And just like that, his body went limp again. "T… Theo, wake up, dammit!” Xavier almost screamed. But the nerd was dead to the world. “Please…” Xavier begged, willing Theo to open his eyes and put him out of his misery. But Theo didn't even move a muscle. Xavier turned and looked

    When Hilda, Alicia, and Stephen got to the hospital, Theo had already been transferred back to his private room. Xavier was pleasantly surprised to see Stephen, though he just dipped his head in acknowledgment.“How is he?” Hilda asked softly. Martin shook his head, seemingly worried. “The surgery was a success, but the doctor says he isn't out of the woods yet.” Hilda nodded, peeling at Theo. She wondered if he knew they were all there waiting for him to wake. Alicia didn't utter a word to anyone. She just stared hopefully, as if she were expecting him to simply pop his eyes open. Xavier appeared from behind her and draped his hand loosely on her shoulders. She actually jerked in surprise, for her mind was solely on her unconscious husband. She turned with a frown.“Sorry," Xavier whispered. Alicia gave him a small smile before returning her attention to Theo. “I keep wondering if he will ever wake up.” She confessed, leaning onto Xavier's side with a heavy exhale. Instinctively, X

    “Watch your tone with me, young lady.” Hilda retorted with a narrowed glare. Alicia shifted uncomfortably, lowering her head. She hadn't meant to come out so rudely. “I am so sorry, mum.” She apologized mortified. “I am just so…” She stuttered, looking for a way to express her distraught.“We are all stressed.” Hilda reasoned with a sigh, spreading her arms. Alicia walked into her arms and the two women hugged tightly, comforting each other. “He had a complication they had to rush him back to the surgery,” Hilda whispered. “We should be there.” Alicia whimpered. She didn't like the thought of Theo suffering alone. “Please, mum.” She begged. “Martin and Xavier are already there,” Hilda informed. “We can all be there,” Alicia insisted. “And we will. I just needed to give you time to rest fully.” Hilda explained. “Plus, the boys have been through enough exhaustion from yesterday.” Alicia couldn't argue with her observation. “Let's give them a few more hours of a peaceful nap before

    Martin was startled awake by the persistent ringing of his cell phone. He picked it up with a grunt. He hadn't uttered a word when a worried voice notified him that he was needed at the hospital because Theo had gone into cardiac arrest due to internal bleeding. Apparently, he had been rushed back to the theater for another surgery. Martin's heart skipped a beat and for a while, he didn't utter a word. His mouth suddenly dried and his breath held. “Sir,” Martin could hear the same voice call him over and over again. He attempted a response, but all that tore out of his throat was a loud sob. That woke Hilda. She immediately thought the worst. Her husband's wretched expression made her think they had lost Theo. “Martin,” she called softly. Her voice shook with dread. That is what drew Martin from his trance. “We will be there soonest.” He told the patient soul on the other end of the line and hung up the call. He turned to a now sobbing Hilda. “Don't tell me,” she cried, latching ont

    In the washrooms, Alicia stared at her pale complexion in the mirror, tracing her puffy eyes. They looked bleak… lifeless even. How could fate be so cruel? She wondered. Her Theo had done nothing to deserve the kind of misfortune which befell him. For a split second, she blamed herself for not stopping him when he decided to head out briefly. Knowing Theo, he would have done her will. Perhaps then Rowan could still be alive and she and Theo could be home having the time of their lives with their kids. Hilda, who had entered but decided to watch from the entrance, couldn't take it anymore. Anyone could have deciphered that Alicia was loathing herself for some reason, from how tightly she was clutching at her own chin. “Alicia,” Hilda called, stepping closer. Alicia didn't turn. But she gazed at her mother-in-law through the mirror. Her lips began to wobble, and before the first tear could fall, Hilda was by her side. “Shhh…” Hilda stood behind her and began rubbing her shoulders. “Yo

    Theo's surgery was estimated to take a couple of hours, so Martin decided to visit Rowan's mother and deliver the bad news. It wasn't easy. Rowan's mother was his only living relative apart from the daughter. She broke down, and all Martin could do was watch helplessly, especially when he had to tell her that the drunk driver survived. In his mind, he was planning on lawsuits that would ensure the bastard never saw the outside of the prison cell again, not that it would benefit him in any way, but at least it would save someone else somewhere from a fate like Rowan's. Or Theo's for that matter, who was fighting for his life. “I want to meet him.” Rowan's mother declared. She wanted an audience with the truck driver and though Martin didn't know for what, he assured her that he would make that happen. After promising to take care of the funeral arrangements, Martin left the heartbroken grandmother to break the news to her granddaughter. Martin could only imagine the pain the family wa

    When they got to the hospital, the nurses couldn't give them a sensible response, and it irked Alicia. “Can't I see my fucking husband?” She screamed. The thing about public hospitals is they were clouded and had very shitty customer service. And every member of the Cavill clan hated it. “Ma'am your husband is in the ICU and in dire need of surgery.” The exasperated nurse rasped, retrieving an authorization form that needed a signature for them to proceed with Theo's surgery. Hilda, who was calmer than the rest, picked it up, but when she was about to sign the nurse insisted that the patient's spouse should be the one to sign. Hilda turned to a nervous wreck, Alicia and held out the pen. “Sign here, sweetheart.” She cooed, pointing at the dotted line. The urgency in Hilda's soft-spoken words got to Alicia, who did so without a question. After the form was passed back to the nurse, she asked them to take a seat in the waiting room and that she would keep them updated. “I can't belie

    With the help of Louise, Alicia prepared a variety of dishes for dinner. Theo got an urgent call from one of his business associates and decided to meet the lady, but promised will be back shortly. After he left, Alicia called Xavier, who graciously helped look after the twins as Alicia and Louise set the table on the terrace. As expected, Hilda and Martin arrived on time, but Theo hadn't come back yet and all the calls went to voicemail.“Let's eat,” Alicia decided. “Perhaps he got held up.” The Cavill clan took their places at the table and overall, it was a joyful dinner. Even Xavier's mood had immensely improved, and to Hilda, he even looked giddy. “Are you expecting someone?” She asked cheekily. Xavier blushed and covered it quickly with a frown. “Of course, not.” He argued. But he was expecting something. A call from a certain hunk. Ever since Stephen said he would be calling him later, Xavier did nothing but anticipate it. And though he won't admit it loud, he couldn't wait t

    It took Xavier almost an hour to find the strength to move. He didn’t feel like going back to his brother's, so he ended up upstairs instead. His own bedroom felt strange to him, and he knew it was because a certain hunk wasn’t around to bring the warmth only he can in the somewhat abandoned room. Xavier dropped face down on the bed and his mind drifted back to Stephen. He missed the hunk more than he had thought it was possible to miss anyone. Theo, on the other hand, couldn’t take the uncertainty anymore. He dialed Xavier, wanting to know if the clown was okay. “I am fine.” But despite his words, Theo was convinced Xavier was lying, and he told him so. Xavier argued that it was Stephen's surprise visit that had shocked him and that he just needed a few hours to himself and that he would see them later. Without further argument, Theo hung up after making Xavier promise to have dinner with them. Xavier pulled himself up, discarding his shoes, and slipped inside the covers. He curled
