''We decide tomorrow.’’ I replied. Hanging up my phone and turning to Alexa who was still fast asleep. I brushed her blonde hair away from her face and placed a small kiss on her forehead, she must have been exhausted with everything going on, she was worrying herself unnecessarily. I was worried too but I couldn’t show her that, she needed me to be strong for the both of us for whatever was going on or would happen after now.I turned again tucking her properly in bed before heading downstairs, I couldn’t sleep if I wanted to. The anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach grew with each passing hour and I couldn’t just wait for all of these to be finally over. My mind went back to the day I had caught Mark on Alexa thirteen years ago, the pains and everything I felt. Without any care in the world, he had tortured Alexa and made home for her, a living hell. I wondered what exactly would have been her plight if I hadn’t seen her in the club that night or if I wasn’t in the picture right
ALEXA’S POV:The next day came by quickly making the anxiousness in the pit of my belly to grow, I just couldn’t wait for all of these to be over. Drew had decided he would be going to the court with Camellia and I didn’t have to go with them, honestly that was the best thing for me right now considering the throbbing headaches I’ve been getting recently, going there would only make it worse. For some reasons, I had woken up this morning to be very active, even though I was anxious and a bit worried, I didn’t want to show it.‘’’My mom would be here in no time.’’ I said to Drew who was still trying to find himself a fit. He didn’t want to wear anything too serious or corporate, so he had to look for something good yet casual. Finally he settled for a plain white shirt, a black jean and a white converse to match.‘’Come here.’’ she said when he caught me through the mirror staring at him lustfully. I obliged, getting up from the bed and making my way to him slowly.He spun me around
It’s been two days since Drew and my mom returned from the court, he had sent a text to me few minutes ago stating we needed to talk about something important when he returns. I can’t lie and say I’m not worried, because I am. My mind went to the text from James in my phone, I knew he saw the text that day and even though I have nothing to do with James anymore, I still felt a bit of guilt for not telling Drew about it. Why James had text me, I had no idea but I didn’t bother to reply him, instead I blocked and deleted the number. Drew hadn’t said anything to me about the text but I was certain he saw it because I had seen him with my phone when the text entered but said nothing, or maybe he was waiting for me say something about it first and come clean to him.I had no idea what it was he wanted us to discuss today but I knew for sure it was concerning us.The sound of the ringing doorbell startles me from my thoughts and I nervously stood up from the couch to go and open the door, e
Drew still hasn’t asked me anything about the text he saw in my phone, today was supposed to be the day for the court judgement, but Drew had received a text early this morning letting him know the court meeting was adjourned and that we would have to wait till two weeks. According to the judge, all evidences provided would have to be thoroughly investigated, but in the meantime Mark would have to be detained.I stood at the balcony as flashes and memory of the first night Mark assaulted filled my mind, I thought about how my mom had remained silent and allowed it continue for years. Something in me still holds a grudge against my mom but for the sake of peace and the fact she’s willing to change, has melted my heart. I decided to just focus on other things instead of dwelling in the past and allow it ruin my mood.What were the chances that I would have been happy today if I hadn’t bump into Drew at the club that night? Maybe working as a stripper wasn’t bad after all, it was my luck
‘’Hey, when were you going to return my calls.’’ I read as soon as I picked up my phone, it was a text from Nessa. I had no idea she had been calling me or that my phone even rang, I would have found that though if I wasn’t so involved with Drew since this morning.‘’Hey! Sorry but I’ve been busy and I had no idea you were calling me.’’ I typed back, returning her texts.‘’Yea, you were busy, obviously doing what got you pregnant.’’ she typed back immediately making me laugh out loud.‘’Would you rather I…’’ I started to type but was cut short by my phone ringing, it was her face timing me. I picked up at the first ring laughing into the phone, ‘’You know, you shouldn’t have put it that way. I was just busy.’’ I said‘’Not too busy to not have heard your phone ring eleven times Alexa.’’ she snorted out causing me to laugh even more.‘’Okay, you got me there. I had intentions to call you though, maybe you just missed me too much and that was why you had to call first.’’ I told her‘’I
‘’You need to learn to stop touching my stuffs without my permission.’’ Zach’s voice echoed from the hallway where Drew and I stood. We listened and realized he was referring to Catherine.‘’These two always arguing about a thing or another.’’ I said, laughing.Drew took my hands in his and led us downstairs, it was almost time for dinner and the table was being set by Catherine. My mom was helping Theresa in the kitchen and together, I knew they would be making varieties of delicious meals to pick from.‘’Why do you look so mad Zach? I asked trying to find out the reason he had shouted so aggressively at Catherine.He pointed at Catherine before speaking, ‘’Just take a look at her, she can’t go a day without having to wear my clothes.’’he said fuming.I looked at Catherine on the other hand and she seemed so relax and indifferent, as if trying to fuel Zach’s anger more. I couldn’t help but burst at laughing, Catherine joined me as well, laughing out loud like she has been waiting for
The next day came by quickly, Drew left for work earlier than usual, well that was after a passionate lovemaking with me on different surfaces of his room and me screaming his name..He had woken up hyper sexual this morning, at first he tried to suppress it because he didn’t want to disturb me. I noticed how severally he tried not to cuddle me to closely as his member was fully erect and he thought I was still asleep. Nice of him not to want to disturb my sleep but I couldn’t let him go to work in that state, I grabbed his free hands and placed it directly on my breast while with the other hand, I touched his member and began to rub on it, letting him know that I was fully awake and ready for him.The smile that lounged on his face immediately said it all as he squeezed my breast and drew me closer with his other hand, in no time, we were both panting and moaning with his cock deeply thrust inside of me. Soon after, we moved from the bed to stand on the floor, I was holding tightly
Drew had asked that I take the kids and everyone for shopping to get new clothes and other stuffs, I haven’t really gone for any proper shopping since I came here. My clothes were getting too tight as a result of my protruding belly, my mom too needed some new clothes as she didn’t come here with any of her stuffs. It was going to be a long day ahead, I headed upstairs after eating to pick up my phone before going back to the living room to relax. “Good morning sweetie.” My mom greeted me smiling. “Hey mom, good morning.” I replied“How did you sleep?” She asked coming close to where I sat. “Very well mom, what about you?” I asked her. “I did sleep well also.” She said and I nodded. “What would you like to eat for breakfast?” She asked as she took a seat beside me. “I already had breakfast mom, I woke up quite early.” I answered. “Oh that’s okay. How about Drew, did he eat also or would I have to make something for him?” She asked“Drew left for work already, he has a meeting t
As the days turned into weeks, the excitement for the wedding grew. Everyone was buzzing with anticipation, and the house was filled with the sound of laughter and chatter.We all went on a shopping spree, getting new outfits, clothes, shoes, and bags. I tried on my wedding dress multiple times, making sure it was perfect. Nessa got her maid of honor dress, and Drew and Nicolas looked dashing in their tuxedos.Finally, the big day arrived. The house was buzzing with activity as everyone got ready. My grandparents, uncles, aunt and families all arrived, beaming with happiness.We all got into our various cars and headed to the wedding venue, some guests were already seated waiting patiently for us. Everything kicked off just immediately, I was walked down the aisle by my grandfather. I saw Drew waiting for me, looking handsome in his tuxedo. Nicholas stood beside him, his smile, contagious as he saw me. Nessa also stood by my side, smiling brightly.The ceremony was beautiful, with pe
As we woke up the next morning, my phone rang, breaking the silence. It was my grandfather calling to ask about the babies and exchange pleasantries. After a while, he asked, "So, when are you two lovebirds planning on getting married?"Drew, who was lying beside me, suddenly sat up and took the phone from me. "Actually, sir, I've have something nice planned out, and I intended to see you physically for a discussion.” he said with a smile. "We're going to have a beautiful outdoor wedding in a stunning landscape surrounded by nature and flowers. And the best part is, it's just a month away! The venue and all is under construction and would be ready in two weeks time.”I was taken aback, my eyes widening in surprise. I had no idea Drew had planned anything, let alone the entire wedding! I listened in awe as Drew continued to talk to my grandfather, discussing the details of the wedding.After they hung up, I turned to Drew, excitement radiating from my face. "You've planned the wedding?
Few days after the birth, our house was still buzzing with excitement. Zach and Catherine were inseparable from the babies, and they took turns feeding and cuddling them.My mom and Theresa were also a big help, cooking meals and doing laundry despite the presence of a new housekeeper and cook. Drew and I were enjoying every moment of parenthood, even the sleepless nights. We would take turns feeding and changing the babies, and we would often sit together in the nursery, watching them sleep.Nessa was also a big help, and she would often come over to visit and assist with the babies. She was overjoyed to be an aunty, and she would spend hours playing with the babies and giving them attention.My mom was now staying with us full-time, she was cleared off her probation and now was happily helping with the babies and getting everything back to normal. Drew was working from home, taking care of his fatherly duties and making sure everything was running smoothly.Our home was filled with
We drove through the quiet streets, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. It had been a wonderful evening, and I was grateful for the love and friendship that surrounded us.After a while, Drew broke the silence. "I'm glad we're having twins," he said, smiling at me.I smiled back, feeling happy. "Me too," I said. "It's going to be an amazing adventure."Drew nodded, taking my hand. "We'll face it together," he said. "As a family."I felt a surge of love for him, and I knew that everything was going to be okay. We were in this together, and we would face whatever challenges came our way as a team.As we pulled into our driveway, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It had been a long day, but it had been worth it.Drew helped me out of the car, and we walked together into our house going into our room immediately and getting ready for bed. Drifting off to sleep that night, I knew that tomorrow would bring new challenges and adventures. But I was ready, because I had Drew by m
I woke up to the sound of Catherine knocking gently on our bedroom door. "Good morning, Alexa! I brought you some breakfast. It’s almost noon.” she said, her voice soft and cheerful.I smiled, feeling grateful for Catherine's thoughtfulness. "Thanks, Catherine. Come on in." I said to her and glanced at the wall clock, it was past 11am. Catherine walked in with a tray laden with scrambled eggs, toast, and fresh fruit. "Good morning, Drew," she said, smiling. Drew stirred, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Morning, Catherine. Thanks for bringing us breakfast."I took a bite of my eggs, savoring the delicious flavors. "Catherine, did Theresa make these?” I asked, gesturing to the meal. Catherine nodded. "No, she left hours ago. She said she had a busy day ahead of her at the restaurant, I made them.”“Oh, you’re the sweetest. Thank you.” I said, praising her sense of thoughtfulness. After we finished eating, Drew and I relaxed for a while, before he started to work on his computer. A
***FIVE MONTHS LATER….I sat in the living room, engrossed in a book about parenthood. The warm glow of the lamp beside me cast a cozy ambiance, and the soft hum of the TV in the background created a sense of relaxation. Drew walked into the room, a gentle smile on his face, and sat down beside me."Hey, how's the book?" he asked, nodding towards the pages in my hand.I looked up, my eyes sparkling with excitement. "It's great! I'm learning so much about what to expect when the twins arrive."Drew chuckled. "I'm sure you'll be an amazing mom. You're already so prepared."Just then, Zack walked out of his room, a curious expression on his face. "Hey, what are you reading?” I smiled. "Just a book parenthood.” Zack nodded and plopped down beside us on the couch. Catherine, who had been quietly reading in her room, also emerged, drawn in by the conversation.As we chatted, Stella, our new housekeeper, walked into the room with a tray of freshly baked cookies and a pitcher of cold lemona
As the private jet landed safely at the designated airport, Nicolas was ready to drive us all back home. The ride was smooth, and before we knew it, we were pulling up to our beautiful home. Theresa, Zach, and Catherine were waiting at the door, beaming with smiles."Welcome home!" Theresa exclaimed, opening her arms for a warm hug.Zach and Catherine chimed in, "We missed you guys!"“I missed you all too, so much.” I said and hugged them back. We unloaded the boxes and bags from the car, Nicolas and Nessa said their goodbyes. "It was great spending time with you all," Nessa said, hugging me tightly."Definitely," Nicolas agreed. "We'll have to do it again soon."With a final wave, they drove off, leaving us to settle back into our routine.As we walked into the house, Theresa asked, "So, how was Paris? Tell us everything!"I grinned mischievously. "Oh, where do I even start?"Zach and Catherine's eyes widened with excitement as I began to recount our adventures. "We visited the Eiff
I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring in my ear, I stretched my arms and yawned, feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was already 8:00 am. Drew was still fast asleep beside me, so I gently shook him awake."Good morning, sleepyhead," I whispered, smiling.Drew rubbed his eyes and sat up, yawning. "Morning, beautiful. How did you sleep?”I grinned. "We're going to the Musée d'Orsay, so I guess my night went well. Nicholas and Nessa are meeting us at the museum at 10:00 am."Drew nodded, throwing off the covers. "I see. Let's get ready then."We both headed to the bathroom to take our showers. The warm water felt invigorating, and I took my time, enjoying the feeling. After our showers, we got dressed. I chose a yellow sundress with white flowers, pairing it with a pair of sandals and a wide-brimmed hat. Drew wore a pair of light blue shorts and a white button-down shirt, looking effortlessly stylish. I grabbed my camera and made sur
I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing on the nightstand. I reached over and picked it up, seeing a text from Zach."Hey, Alexa! The house feels so empty without you guys. Can't wait for you to come back," the text read.I smiled, feeling a pang of homesickness. I decided to call Zach and catch up with him and Catherine.As I dialed the number, Drew stirred beside me, opening one eye lazily. "Who are you calling?" he asked, his voice husky with sleep."I'm calling Zach and Catherine," I replied, smiling. "I just got a text from Zach and I wanted to catch up with them."Drew nodded, closing his eye again. "Okay, baby. I'll let you talk."I waited for Zach to answer, and when he did, I could hear the sound of Catherine's laughter in the background."Hey, Alexa! Oh, I'm so glad you called," Zach said, sounding enthusiastic.I chatted with Zach and Catherine for a while, telling them about our latest news and adventures and how I have everything captured on camera to fill them when I’
