Gabbie's POVGabbie woke up early today. Thanks to the adjustment of her body alarm she can rise as early as five in the morning. She slunked off of Xander's room and went to hers. She prepared herself to start her regime.She went straight to the kitchen to cook some breakfast. The maids are already set for their morning work, too. Sometimes she wonder what is their waking time because they are always up before her even how early she is.She was entrusted with making Xander's breakfast meal for weeks now and today is no exception. She think her recipes are improving because Xander never once spat any of her dishes. Well, she ain't that bad of a cook to start with. She grew up feeding herself so she somehow mastered the basics.She decided to cook an omelet. 'I told you, I mastered the basics.' It's a good thing though, enough to give herself a hand. Eggs should always be a part of the diet because it's one of the simplest recipes to make that can turn into a plat du jour.She was so f
3rd Person's POVA morning call woke up Xander. He just had a real sleep and he would want to curse the caller but as soon as he knew where he is, he could not help but to become ecstatic most especially to the person beside him. Gabbie is sleeping soundly while hugging her white blanket over her naked body. The man was just enthralled every time he would stare at her. But he cannot make his queen wake up so sudden because of an unwanted phone ring.'Damn whoever this person whose calling a married man at 6am'Xander already expected a name, no one would dare calling him at this hour except for him and he was not wrong. Jameson Annoying showed on his screen with an aggressive ringtone. He set that up but he can hear Jameson making the sound. He smirked by the funny thought and answered."You know 6am and 10pm are critical time, right?""Oh, not with an abnormal marriage like yours," the one on the other line bravely stated. He wouldn't care about Xander getting angered as he would not
Gabbie's POVWeeks had passed after that haphazard date. We remained the same. He is still the sweetest man I've ever laid my eyes on albeit the fact that he was once the scariest person I've known. Every morning he would join me in cooking breakfast, and we will then share the food together. He oftentimes calls me while I'm at school, asking how I am or if I'm done eating lunch. In the evening we would watch some movies of different genres but end up talking about each other's unknown facts. It was like that for almost a month. I should be in my happiest state right now, but no.On random nights between those weeks, I kept on receiving pictures of Xander and Nicole at that same party. It was multiple shots with barely different postures and it makes me squeeze my heart every time. It unfailingly reminds me of how Xander lied to me just to be with that model. Aside from the kissing, there is also one where Nicole Smith whispered something to him and she looked so giddily. There is no
3rd Person's POVA deep sigh was released in the air as Gabbie is preparing some pancakes. It's early morning and she's on the breakfast menu. But her mind lingers on different thoughts and the majority are about her pregnancy."Good morning, baby." Xander came down to assist as he usually does. Gabbie smiled at him curtly and brought back her attention to the pancake as if she was actually paying attention to it.Xander saw the fresh fruit juice on the table and grabbed a glass to help himself be quenched. "Did you make this?" He poured a good amount and then drank it in one go."Yeah, how is it?" Gabbie asked back. She is still not affording a view to Xander and pretending to be occupied with her work. The man then came near her and held her by the waist. That's when the girl finally looked up to him who's now on her side. Xander didn't miss that chance to kiss Gabbie when they met eyes. It was a passionate one, allowing the girl to taste the bitterly sweet flavor of the extracted o

Gabbie's POV"Congratulations! You're pregnant," the female doctor exuberantly stated, showing me the screen of her computer that has my ultrasound result.This is it. It's official. I plan to finally announce it to Xander tonight but I made sure of it first. I came to the hospital in the early morning of Saturday, making an excuse of going to Leia for a hangout. I even barely succeed an approval from him. Xander has been very strict these past days. He would always check if I'm home on time, if I am dressed properly, if I eat healthily, and anything else.I always obey him, that's not even new. He is venting out good things for me anyway even so sometimes it is getting too much. Just this morning, I didn't surmise him to say no because Leia's been my friend and I've talked about her to him many times. That conversation with him was too tangled whenever I think about it.*Flashback"What are you gonna do there?" he asked while forehead frowning."Just...simple hangout. We didn't have
3rd Person's POV4 YEARS AGOA splash of cold water had awaken Niki from a temporary knock. She was running out of breath and couldn't even realize where she is until a man in his clean suit appeared in her front."How was that?" he asked the girl.Niki tried to move but her hands are tied up behind the chair she was seated on as well as her feet. She looked around to see familiar faces of men in black suits. Damn this formal kidnappers!"That was cool. Woah!" She made fun of her situation. Well, she is not your typical victim who would play her role in a dramatic way."As expected. You really have a thick skin, huh." Niki smirked to that which heightened the kidnapper's anger."Says the one who audaciously kidnapped someone. You think your skin couldn't be thicker than mine?" A hard slap was then thrown on her cheek."See? That hurts." The old man wiped his palm, pretending to have maimed after slapping her. "How can you not see how shameless you are when you took all my money and no
3rd Person's POVIt's been four hours since Xander went out of the ward. He stayed by the hallway silently but his mind has been so loud and he cannot assuage even a second. He wanted to see Gabbie, hug her, and give her comfort. He knows she is hurting right now and the scene he saw before he came out of the room has been fretting him so much. But he can understand why Gabbie reacted that way, pushing him away. She probably hates seeing him. It's his fault and he is not denying that. He is vexing himself for not knowing her situation all these times.That day when he received the pictures from an anonymous sender, he cannot succor himself but to lose his mind overthinking everything that could have happened. Niki knew enough of him and she would lose nothing at all if she decides to pour it all in one natter but Xander has so much to slide out of his hand. He might fail to hold Gabbie to stay in his life and it would be equal to losing his life. So he's afraid, so damn afraid that in
