Pregnant for A Stranger Part 18
Hayle glanced around the central hall of the house, feeling it fitting to be likened to a palace. The location seemed remote, not close to urban areas; during their drive back from the hospital, she noticed it was quite secluded. The main gate was far from the house itself, requiring them to pass through pine trees that kept the surroundings cool and green."Mr. Jaxter instructed that you may leave your room and roam anywhere around the house, except..." Roberto emphasized the exception. "Mr. Jaxter's main chambers and the building in the backyard. Apart from those, feel free to explore."Hayle smirked before nodding slowly. "And I cannot leave this place.""That's correct unless Mr. Jaxter approves.""What about the garden?" Hayle asked to confirm. "I just can't step past that gate, right? Wherever I go within these grounds, I'm allowed, except Mr. Jaxter's main chambers and that building." Hayle glanced towards the building visible through the glass wall, seeming smaller than the m

"Hah! Boring!"Hayle got out of bed after the most awkward dinner she had ever experienced. She had expected to spend the evening with Jaxter, but he chose to have dinner in his room instead. Hayle's face showed boredom; she had already paced around the room twice before deciding to sleep, but unfortunately, she couldn't sleep at all. Perhaps she just wasn't used to this situation.She opened her unlocked bedroom door, looking down dimly lit hallways. Maybe finding something to do would make Hayle a bit tired and sleepy; she had spent the whole day wrapped up in her bed.Her feet moved slowly on the carpeted floor, nearly all of it covered, muffling anyone's footsteps. In her nightgown, somehow perfectly fitting her body, Hayle wandered through the mansion even though the clock on the wall had chimed nearly twelve times.She was truly amazed by this palace-like house, although she found its interior and decorations boring and minimal. The luxurious impression, however, seemed to be pr

Jaxter slowly released Hayle's soft grip. He laid her down on the bed as comfortably as possible, even consciously pulling the blanket over the peacefully sleeping woman. She looked so innocent; no one would suspect the reckless actions she had taken to pursue another man. Thinking about it, Jaxter felt irritated again by Hayle's foolishness. After completing everything, he left Hayle's room."Sir." Roberto was surprised to see Jaxter still wandering outside her room at this late hour. He even saw Jaxter coming from Hayle's direction. There was a hint of joy and good presumption about this. Were they alone together?"I was just putting her to bed," Jaxter felt the need to explain. A moment later, he realized he didn't have to, so he continued back to his room. Roberto nodded silently. "One more thing," Jaxter stopped briefly, making Roberto face him directly. "Investigate the murder under the name Black Phoenix. I saw it on the news, the discovery of a body under the name BlackPhoenix

As night swiftly approached, tensions from the day dissolved. Hayle stepped out of her room once more, seeking a quiet moment before her bedtime. Today was much the same as any other; she had eaten lunch and dinner alone. The difference lay in Jaxter's absence after he had left earlier, according to her guard.Hayle tiptoed towards the kitchen like a spy, checking to see if any servants remained in the area. Like the night before, it was dim and almost deserted. What caught Hayle's attention, however, was a tray with warm milk, a neatly sliced plate of fruit covered in plastic wrap, and a few small snacks. Her eyes lit up; she was certain Jaxter had instructed this treat.Once again, Hayle's destination for the evening was the living room television. Where else could she go? The other rooms held little interest or remained unexplored thus far. But as she entered the living room, her heart nearly leapt out of her chest at the sight of Jaxter seemingly waiting for her. Hayle grinned bro

Hayle almost wanted to explore Jaxter's body but always stopped herself when she was about to touch him. Of course, she remembered how warm his body was and how he smelled every time he carried her. Yes, Hayle knew she was being a bit of a bother, given how many times he had carried her. But at least their baby liked it.Lost in her thoughts, Hayle gradually appeared sleepy and soon seemed to drift off.A few minutes after Hayle had firmly closed her eyes, it was Jaxter's turn to open his. The man hadn't been asleep at all this whole time. He just didn't want to interact too much with this troublesome woman, but he found himself transfixed by how Hayle had fallen asleep beside him. Once again, her innocence dispelled the notion that this woman was trouble.It took Jaxter a moment to finally rise and retrieve the blanket covering Hayle's body. The movie that Hayle intended to watch now turned its focus on them instead. Jaxter promptly turned off the screen, stood up, and was about to l

"Still don't know where she is?" Jacob asked, squinting at Lucas. Even though they were just friends. Jacob knew Hayle's demeanor well. She wouldn't just leave everything behind, especially what she had worked so hard to achieve. Seeing the state of her apartment, she hadn't even taken anything with her.Lucas sighed deeply, furrowing his brow. "No news at all, and I doubt I'm the first person she'd contact.""I doubt that too," Jacob replied offhandedly, slumping into his chair and scanning the cafe around them on the ground floor of the hospital where Hayle and Lucas had worked. What was even more baffling was this man claiming that Hayle had resigned. That was impossible.Jacob caught sight of a woman walking with the poise of a Victoria's Secret model. It was clear she was heading their way. Of course he recognized her — the woman who had made his friend Hayle cry every night for a week. Jacob glanced at Lucas, raising his eyebrows subtly, as if signaling something. Seeing this, L

Jaxter nodded softly again, not wanting to be seen as an inattentive father to their unborn child."Can I have Ramen?" Hayle suddenly remembered the delicious ramen near her old campus. Slurping warm noodles might boost her appetite."No," Jaxter replied flatly, dampening Hayle's spirits. "You should know that's not good for your pregnancy.""I asked for Ramen, not instant noodles. The noodles themselves are fine; it's the seasoning that's the issue because of its high sodium content. Noodles cooked with healthy seasonings can also be nutritious," Hayle explained.Jaxter fell silent, realizing he couldn't argue about health with Hayle."Can I have it?" Hayle asked eagerly, her eyes sparkling, impatiently waiting for his response."Tell Roberto what kind of food you want," Jaxter sighed, looking at the delighted woman in front of him."Okay!" Hayle replied enthusiastically.After informing Roberto of her food preference, she eagerly awaited its arrival. Fortunately, Roberto didn't take

"The situation has improved, Miss Hayle is sleeping again now. If by tomorrow morning her condition remains stable like this, I'll remove the IV tomorrow morning," Jaxter's personal doctor explained after examining Hayle for the night.Far from when she first arrived, Hayle's condition had greatly improved. Initially, he wanted to remove the IV now, but seeing Hayle already asleep, it wasn't wise to wake a pregnant woman."This is the first time she's been able to sleep so quickly," Jaxter looked towards the doctor, his tone as usual, flat."Yes, many pregnant women complain about having difficulty sleeping. It's better for you to stay with her. It will make the mother more comfortable and be beneficial for your baby as well," Jaxter's personal doctor immediately advised. He felt this man had shown enough change after the young lady arrived. He could even hear his advice, whereas before, if it didn't match his thoughts or desires, nothing would make Jaxter do it, even for his own heal

"How was it?" asked Hayle approaching her husband. Seeing Jacob only gave her a faint smile. Of course it made Hayle very curious. How did the man meet his wife.Actually Hayle really wanted to witness it. But, she had her own business to take care of Zave's lecture that she had promised a few weeks ago. Therefore, she could not cancel this."They just talked for a while." Jaxter answered his wife's curiosity."And then? What did they talk about? Did they talk about bringing Rui?" Hayle with a very curious face.There was actually one thing that made Hayle a little worried about all this. They were going to take Rui and keep the two of them apart. Because after all Hayle -she knew this was very selfish- had taken care of and loved Rui with all her heart."I don't know what they're talking about. I wasn't inside with them.""Ha?" Hayle wrinkled her forehead with an incredulous face. "Why aren't you even with them. I want to know what they're talking about." Hayle was really upset why e

"You put her in the Isolation room?" Jacob asked with a deep frown on his face."It's better to keep her from escaping. There are many things that will happen if she gets out of here. I don't think I need to explain, do I?" Jaxter seemed to just stare straight at the hallway that would lead them to a room that was quite secluded there.Jacob played with his lips. He slowly walked, fortunately Jaxter was understanding enough to match his pace."Thank you for hosting her here." Jacob lifted the corner of his lips before glancing at the man whose facial water had not even changed. "I know that you intentionally put her here for her own good too. You must know that her enemies are everywhere. Even my family is after her.""I just wanted to fulfill my wife's wish. To live in peace." Jaxter didn't seem to care what Jacob said. They stood in front of the steel door that was tightly closed."You can imprison him anywhere. Maybe underground, in a secluded place. You could have even just elimin

"Rui a lot of things happened before you were born. Both your adoptive family and your biological family. We may not be able to be like most parents. Our previous lives will leave you dumbfounded. But, you don't have to think about what happened before you were born. I just want to say, whatever ever happened to me, I will do it again as long as I can get a daughter like you." Jacob held the princess's hand very tightly. Staring at her hazel nets that looked so beautiful and drowning."I knew you would ask about what happened to your real mother." Jacob pursed his lips. He took a deep breath and grabbed something from the nightstand drawer beside his bed. That made him frown. "This is a picture of your mother. I don't want you to not know her."Jacob handed over the cell phone he took earlier. He asked Roberto to find any photos of Ice that might still exist. And, luckily, there was one of her when she was still undercover in Laurence's group.Rui took the cell phone in her father's ha

"Eh? You." Rui was startled when she came out of her father's hospital room and saw the figure of a man who seemed to be walking towards her place."Yes. I heard your father was taken to the hospital, is he okay?" asked Arzhiel who immediately came to this hospital when he heard the news."Yes. But he's fine, he just woke up." Rui smiled faintly at this man who could make her heart feel uneasy."So, why aren't you inside?" Arzhiel wrinkled his forehead. "Do you want to do something?""No, I didn't. Mrs. Hayle and Clay's father wanted me to go out for a moment. They want to talk to Jacob's father. So I'll just go out." Rui said it in a slightly mischievous tone. I don't know, it's hard to act casual in front of people we like."Oh, I see, so I can't go in there yet either." Arzhiel looked at the door of the room. "I saw this little cafe near the hospital garden. It's not far, want to wait there instead?"Rui hearing that was a little startled and raising her eyebrows, she nodded slowly

"Rui ...." Hayle stared at her daughter to which Rui immediately responded."Yes? Mom?" Rui showed a subtle streak on her face, following the question that fell from her lips."I know that Rui probably has many things to ask. But, is it okay if you, Mom, and Jacob's father talk first?" Hayle gently tried to give understanding to her daughter. She knew that it was not difficult to usually talk to this sweet girl.Rui pursed her lips and nodded for a moment. Although there were indeed a lot of questions in her head but Rui couldn't force herself to stay there. One of her principles said that it was better not to know what she shouldn't know. Or maybe not yet.Jacob smiled proudly at how the princess behaved. Although he was reluctant to release the delicate grip of his daughter. But it was something they had to do. The three of them stared at Rui's departure who soon disappeared behind the door of the infirmary."I'm glad you guys took care of her to become such a great girl. I don't th

The door slowly opened. Making all the hearts of the people outside the door beat faster.When Jacob saw the figure of a woman sitting at the end of a fairly narrow room, on an old-looking bed. Curled up as if frightened with her hair loose over her face.Jacob frowned, not really having any expectations about how the woman who was predicted to be his wife was doing."Ice." Hayle walked into the room. Leaving the two men who seemed to be still observing the situation inside Ice's hospital room.As usual, Hayle sat at the end of the bed closest to her. Always trying to communicate well with the woman who never even looked at her."I'm here again, but this time I'm not alone with my husband. Would you like to see who came with us?" Hayle said it as gently as possible. It was always like that if she was dealing with this woman because according to Hayle, that was how to treat someone like this Ice.But, even though Hayle had seduced the woman. Of course Ice didn't seem to understand what

"Good morning!" the cheerful, friendly voice filled the room where Hayle was on duty, if not the kitchen.The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly. "Good afternoon, Jac.""Yes! Yes! No need to emphasize it. But it's early in Alaska. I guess it is." Jacob rubbed his face. He still looked sleepy."The time difference between here and there is only an hour Jac, so I guess it's already daytime in Alaska." Hayle shook her head. Even at this age, she still couldn't let go of her innocence."Yeah. Every now and then make me happy Hayle by just following what I say." Jacob made a little annoyed face at being corrected by this woman."Eat your breakfast, or actually brunch. After that take your medicine. You have to take it, right?" Hayle said. Yesterday she saw him taking his medicine after their warm dinner."Not really. It's just for pain relief. Yesterday's flight made my leg ache, so I took it. It's quiet, even though four bullets have gone through my body. I'm overall very healt

"Why did you say something like that earlier Jax?" asked Hayle who glanced at her husband as she rubbed lotion all over her body after she finished putting on her clothes after cleaning herself."About what?" Jaxter took off the shirt he was wearing one by one. After his wife it was time for him to take a shower."About Ice."Jaxter did not answer immediately. Tickling the curiosity and attention of Hayle who immediately tried to see what happened to her man's face."Do you still suspect that Ice might betray us again?" Hayle asked."There's no harm in being on guard. We already have the life we dreamed of all this time, I won't let a single person ruin it." Jaxter glanced at his wife with a rather sharp gaze. Making Hayle unable to say anything. In a life like the one they lived. Tranquility was a high price they had to pay with so many sacrifices before."So about when will you let us see him. I'm sure Jacob and Rui will want to see Ice." Hayle tried to be cooperative with her husba

"At first I can't remember anything, I woke up in a hospital bed in Hawaii. All I knew was that my whole body was in a lot of pain and I couldn't get out of bed at all. The doctor who treated me said that I had been in a coma for more than half a year." Jacob recounted what he experienced after what happened to him. Everyone in the house was silent, they were listening to what this man was saying. Even so, his hand continued to hold Rui's hand."Then when did you get your memories?" asked Arzhiel who was even more curious about this man's story. Moreover, what he knew was that this man was not in an accident as told by his parents. Instead, he was attacked by people they didn't know."It took a long time for me to remember. About 3 years after the incident, I had a serious memory disorder. I even forgot everything. And, suddenly I woke up with a terrible headache, then I remembered my name and some glimpses of my previous life.""At that moment you remembered Rui?" asked Hayle now who
