It was bright and early when Alexa heard a knock at the door, she got off her bed and made her way to the door, she unlocked it and cracked it open to find Mildred standing there. The older woman offered her a warm smile and the apologetic look in her eyes had her returning her smile.

"Good morning ma'am". Mildred greeted.

"Good morning Mildred". She responded resignedly.

"Did you sleep well? I hope you're feeling better this morning". The older woman asked .

And she nodded.

She wasnt sure if she was actually feeling better, she just felt numb in a way.

"Good to know". Mildred said. "Breakfast will be served by seven, your husband requests your presence at the dining room".

Could she face him again? It had been so long since they had breakfast together and she knew things would undoubtedly be heated and awkward between them.

Mildred saw the conflicted look in her eyes and she offered her a small smile.

"You both have been through a lot, it's time to start making efforts to

    Breakfast time had long passed by but we remained in the dining room, the dishes had been cleared and all that was left on the table were a small platter of fruits and a tray containing a jug of water and two cups. We hadn't exactly been talking, we had simply sat there quietly, and the silence surprisingly wasn't awkward, far from that, it was almost as though sitting there with him was what I had needed all this time. He hadn't been convinced that he wouldn't go to the office until he set aside his jacket, and tie, he remained with only his trousers and his spotless white shirt and it was only then i believed him. "I'd like to show you something, but i need you to promise me that you won't cry". He said to me all of a sudden. My gaze flickered to his at once and i was suddenly curious. "What is it?". I asked him. He shook his head. "Do i have your word, Alexa?". He asked me. And i forced myself to nod. Saying nothing more, he reached for his phone which was on the table, an

    Alexa’s POV I don’t know why, but I found myself making my way to his study. Perhaps it was because something kept telling me that he was cooped up in there, something kept telling me that he was in there working when he had promised to get some rest today. And as much as I didn’t want to, I had to accept that it bothered me deeply and I found myself worrying about him. On getting to his study, I knocked on the door quietly, almost uncertainly, and for a moment I couldn’t help but wonder what I was doing here, I couldn’t help but scold myself for being here at the moment. “Come in”. His deep from came from inside. My heart fell to the pit of my stomach at once and I almost panicked. Now that I was here, now that I had knocked all I wanted to do was turn around and run, all I wanted to do was hide. However, I reached out and took the handle, I was surprised to find my hand trembling as I slowly twisted it and pushed the door open. I stepped into the quiet space, and as su

    Mildred had just been making her way to her room when Calan sighted her, he approached her, not quite sure what exactly he wanted to tell her. He knew it had to do with Alexa, he knew he wanted the poor girl to be comforted but he didn't know how to put it. "Mildred". He said her name to get her attention. She turned to him smiling warmly. "Yes sir?". She said. How was he to put it? What was he to say to her? 'I need you to check on Alexa, she isn't feeling well'. But then again, she hadnt been alright for a while now, and he hadnt particularly asked her to check on her even when her condition was much worst, so in short, he didn't know how to approach this. "Have you seen Alexa?". He asked her. She seemed to think it through before she nodded. "I saw her exiting your study earlier". She told him. "She seemed.....flustered". He nodded once. "And you haven't seen her since then?".He asked knowing she had probably locked herself in her room. Mildred shook her head. "I haven'

    It was early and i was already wide awake, truth was i hadn't slept for long last night, and i had simply lay on my bed staring into the darkness as i thought about what my life would have been like at the moment if my baby were here. Perhaps I'd be up trying to keep her from crying, or perhaps we'd both be asleep napping cozily in the comfort of each other's warmth. My baby..... What would i have named her anyway? I had thought about names, and i only remembered that now. I recalled how i had been sitting dejectedly on a couch in the living room and Micheal and April had come to visit. *flashback* "God, Alexa, you're pregnant not dying, quit looking like this". April had said with a subtle roll of her eyes. Of course i had ignored her. I was pregnant, yes, but it felt lile i waa dying, felt i was slowly but surely drifting away, felt like i was slowly but surely losing my mind. "April". Micheal said her name quietly to probably stop her from being mean or something,i didn't

    How long had it been since he had kissed me last? Nine months? More? I couldn't remember, especially not at the moment, especially not when he was kissing me slowly, tenderly. This kiss; it was nothing like the last time, it was calm, there was no rush or pent up frustration, his hold on me was gentle and his lips moved softly against mine. Several shuddering breaths left me each time our lips broke apart momentarily, my body literally screamed to feel his hands all over, I couldn't deny that I craved his touch in the most intimate places, I couldn't deny that I wanted so much more. He was only kissing me softly but yet I found myself squirming as wetness began to pool between my legs. I clamped my thighs shut to apply some much needed pressure in the area in between almost forgetting that there was still pain which was enough to make me gasp and wince. He noticed, and he stopped at once. His temple creased slightly as his gaze raked over my body quickly, alarmingly. "What's the p

    “It’s why you’re so depressed….”. His words hung deeply between us and I sat there staring at him while tears smoothly streaked down my cheeks. “If you hadn’t been so hung up on the fact that this was an arranged marriage, you would have noticed that I kissed you first, and you didn’t ask me to”. He said to me. He was talking about the first time, I remembered it all clearly but it seemed he didn’t remember it as I did.“Not directly”. I said. “Stop”. He said. He cupped both my cheeks delicately as though he thought I would break if he handled me otherwise. “Stop doing this to yourself”. I blinked and more tears left my eyes, my eyes were getting sore now and my head was beginning to ache but I couldn’t stop myself from crying. If he claimed that he had kissed me without me asking him to then I needed to know why he had kissed me in the first place.“Then why’d you do it? Why’d you kiss me?”. I asked him quietly. He delay a second before answering.“Because you had been irresi

    “I was planning on paying Alexa a visit one of these days”. April said to Micheal who had just raised his cup of coffee to his lips. “Would you like to come along?”. They were at the dining table quietly having breakfast and she had decided to bring up the topic, plus, she didn’t like them lapsing into silence, she couldn’t stand the awkwardness. She noticed his hand stilled and his temple creased in the slightest of frowns; she had noticed his mood always took a downward turn whenever Alexa was mentioned, and though a part of her was glad that he wasn’t always running to her when she needed him, she couldn’t help but worry slightly about the whole thing, after all, she knew he had feelings for Alexa and it wasn’t just something he could turn off so easily.“I don’t think so. I have so much to do”. He replied as he set the cup down without taking the sip that had been intended. “Send my best regards to her”. She nodded slowly. He suddenly had so much to do? He no longer had time

    It was pretty much getting late when April’s car pulled up right outside the gate of the mansion. She had somehow managed to convince Alexa to spend the day with her, they had gone from eating Chinese food to going shopping and then the spa. “You could do with a good massage”. She had said to her. “And then we can hit the saloon to get our hair and nails done”. There was absolutely nothing wrong with April’s nails and hair, they were literally flawless; just like the perfect blue of her eyes. But then, she didn’t want to make Alexa feel like she was indirectly telling her that she could work on her hair and nails which she was, so she did hers too. As grueling as the entire process had been, Alexa found herself relaxed and refreshed afterwards. Her nails had been done, her hair looked even more vibrant and the dark circles underneath her eyes had faded considerably. She looked better, even she could attest to that, and she found she felt better too. “Thanks for hanging out wit

    Alexa's POV I had called Sasha before leaving school but she hadn't picked up, and so i had decided to head back home knowing i could always call her or go to her apartment later on. I probably looked downcast as i sat in the living room staring blankly at the tv screen cause Mildred walked up to me looking slightly worried. "Is there a problem, Mildred?". I asked her. And she shook her head. "I was going to ask you the exact same thing". She said to me. "You look rather sad". Lately it was unusual to see me was, i was always happy or at ease since i was mostly with Calan. I wasn't worried about anything except my friends and my exams. I blew out a breath. "I'm fine". I told her. "I just have a thing or two on my mind". She offered me a warm smile. "That's understandable dear". She said to me. "But do talk to someone if something worries you, it's never good to keep it in". I nodded. "Thank you so much". I said to her. She smiled once more before turning around and walking a

    Third person POV For some unknown reason, Alexa had woken up the next day feeling completely scared and unprepared for the exams. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she had been feeling too confident about the whole thing yesterday. What if she had been too confident? What if she ended up seeing question she just couldn't answer? She had even been unable to eat her break fast, she had lost her appetite and Calan had noticed. "What's the problem?". He asked her. "I dont know.....". She replied quietly. "I just dont feel prepared for the exams today". He arched a brow slightly. "You went over the whole course handout with Michael yesterday, correct?". He asked her. And she nodded. "And you understood what he taught you?". He asked. Shw nodded once more. "Then that's all that matters". He told her. "You've got this". She cleared her throat quietly. "What....what if i get confused?". She asked him. He shook his head. "Dont think about it now, dont worry about anything". He

    Alexa's POv "Why do you look this way?". Calan asked me as he draped his arm around me for a hug which i hadn't known i had needed till now. He placed a lingering kiss on my head before rubbing my back soothingly. "I'm just so tired". I told him. "That's understandable. Did The lectures go well?". He asked me. And i nodded. After my talk with micheal i had felt better, and we had even gone over the last pages. I was all done now and i had never been more confident about writing an exam. "That's good to know*. He said Against my head. "It was worth it". I nodded once more. We were in the parking lot standing leaning against the car almost lazily while the cool evening's breeze blew softly. "I missed you". He told me. And i looked up at him while my cheeks heated up slowly. "I...i missed you too". I told him. "So much". We had spent yesterday indoors in each other's company, he had helped me study and all, and then later on we had lost ourselves in each other's embrace.

    Alexa's Point of view How long had it been? Two hours? Three? More? I had lost track during the course of the lesson, and though i was actually understanding Micheal's lectures, i couldn't help but feel really exhausted. I leaned into my seat tiredly and let out a breath as i tried to focus on what he was saying. The fact that i had been sitting in the same spot for more than three hours now didnt help at all, my body felt stiff and almost numb, even my brain was beginning to protest. I hadn't thought he had meant it so much when he had said i wouldnt be leaving till he was convinced i was ready to approach tomorrow's questions. A small groan left me before i could stop myself, and his gaze flickered up to mine. He probably took in the sorry sight i made cause his eyes softened and he also leaned back into his seat. "Tired?". He asked me. And i nodded immediately. He heaved a sigh before rubbing his temple wearily. "Fair enough, we've been on it for some time now". He sa

    Alexa's perspective Examinations had started and to say i was stressed out would be an understatement. All the days of skipping school and spacing out in classes where beginning to take their toll on me. I had decided to not leave immediately after i was done with my exam for the day, and so i found myself sitting in the library while trying my very best to go over some of the work Micheal had covered. I groaned almost exasperatedly. I had beenbat this for hours and i still wasn't getting it right, i was beginning to lose my mind now. I was even beginning to think i was losing my mind. The words on the pages were getting all jumbled up and my eyes were getting sore from having stared at the page for so long. I blew out a breath before shaking my head. I would find someone to explain it to me but of course, i had no one. Sasha and Raymond weren't taking the course and so they couldn't help me, and it truly would be embarrassing to me if i failed Micheal's course. My gaze snapped

    Third person POV April woke up to the feel of Micheal's fingers combing through her hair tenderly. Her eyes fluttered open and she found him right where he had been before she had fallen asleep, and she took a moment to just stare at him, took a moment to realize that her stomach wasnt killing her anymore. "You're awake". He said to her. She nodded. "You stayed". She said quietly. "Of course". He replied. "Are you feeling better?". "Yeah. Thank you". She replied. He smiled. "That's good to know". He told her. "I was begining to lose my mind". And a faint smile curved her own lips. "I guess we had that in common". She said quietly. He combed his fingers through her hair once more. "Why dont you ever go to the hospital?". He asked her, he was rather serious now. "I hate hospitals". She replied simply. He shook his head. "I do not wish for a next time, but if there is to be one....we're going to the hospital". He told her. She shook her head. "There's no need". She to

    Third person's POV How long had it been since she went upstairs? A few hours, and if she wasnt asleep then it was very unlike her to not have come to him. And so, Micheal had decided to go upstairs and check up on her. Of course he had been surprised to see her curled in the middle of the bed looking all disheveled and pained, even the sheets were disheveled. He had hurried to her at once and gathered her into his arms. "Hey". He said as he brushed her hair from her hair softly. "What's wrong?". For a moment he feared she was having an emotional breakdown or something, giving all that had been happening lately. And on seeing the tears streaming down her cheeks, he became even more alarmed. "Cramps". She told him quietly. His eyes widened slightly and he once again brushed her hair from her face. "What can i do to help?". He asked her. A shuddering breath left April and she held onto his arms tightly. She let the fraagrance of sandal wood soothe her. "Hold on to me...".

    Third person's POV Cramps.... April had seen the cramps coming, she had known it would be a shitty day ahead. What she hadn't known however was that it would be painful and teary. After breakfast, she had gone up to her room to get some sleep while Micheal had retired to his study to tend to a thing or two. It had started out well, she had managed to numb her thoughts and had even managed to fall asleep. However, she had woken up to the a dull but rather disturbing pain in her stomach. She had assumed it wouldn't get worse, she had assumed it wouldn't intensify and cause her to break down completely. But soon enough she founs herself clutching her stomach while curling herself up in a ball on her bed as tears streaked down her cheeks again and again. It had actually been a while since she had experienced so much pain during her period, it took her back to her days in college. Days in which she'd lie and cry within the walls off her apartment; being a person who didn't have actu

    Third person's pov April woke up to the all to familiar feeling of wet warmth pooling in her panties. Her eyes widened as all sleepiness left her. She hastily pushed the cover off her body and climbed out of bed hoping she hadnt made a mess on the sheets.....on Micheal's sheets. The dull light barely penetrating the curtains told her that the sun was just beginning to rise; it meant she had a long day ahead of her, a long day with cramps and moodswings, a long day of being aware of the fact that.....she wasn't pregnant. Micheal's eyes fluttered open slowly on hearing the rustling of silks as April quickly slid on the robe of her night dress. "April? Is there a problem?". He asked her while blinking a couple of times to get rid of the sleepiness. She spun around to face him at once. "I...i need to go to my room". She told him. "Sorry i woke you". He shook his head. "Why are you in such a hurry though?". He asked her. How could she not be in a hurry when she feel the blood no
