Alexander's POVI don't know how much longer I can take this. it has been three weeks already and I haven't heard anything from my wife. I am literally going insane because I have no idea if she's even going to come back home. I don't know what I am mostly scared about the fact that she might not come back or the fact that she might come back and find that I have another child with another woman, that if she doesn't know already. I mean I have basically been trying for the last couple of weeks so it would be hard to miss something like this.I also know that she is going through a lot and that she has switched off her phone, apart from that one report about her being seen with another man I haven't really heard anything about her. I suppose I can even go as far as saying it was completely off the grid and that is why she probably hasn't come back to confront me about this new baby situation. I am terrified that she wants nothing to do with me after she hairstyles and still I have hope
Ella's POV" Please give me one more chance, the last chance and I will make it right. " He said to me. I can see that Alexandra means what he says right now but the fact of the matter is that we have a new baby in our relationship, not just any baby but a baby he lied to me about. I don't understand how he can stand here next to me with a straight face and tell me that he loves me after everything that he has done to me, it is strange because I actually do believe that he loves me but so far he has done everything but to show me that he loves me.I look at him and I can't get past the fact that he has lied to me about everything. I am still suffering the loss of my daughter both physically and emotionally and I don't understand how he could as something like from me. I don't think he understands the pain I am feeling right now and I just don't have the energy or the strength to fight with him anymore. I didn't say anything after he asked me to give him one last chance. I just turned
Alexander's POV" Just in... Alexander Black's estranged wife Ella Black has been seen out and about, we have it on good word that she is going to open a new restaurant, if she can cook as well as she can bake, then we are in for a treat. In other news Alexander's Black's baby mama Tatiana has landed herself a contract for a new reality show, even though people are waiting on her we all know that we can't just wait to see Alexander Black on our screens, he is normally a private person. " The reporter said and I switched off the TV. I don't think that my life will never forgive me because it has been weeks since we last spoke and the worst part is that she won't even see me. I suppose at this point I don't have a schedule for our son. she gets to keep him on weekdays and I have him on the weekend. If I go to her house to fetch him, she will keep me locked out of the gate and send the help with my son to come to me. I don't think I know how to get through to her. I sent her a gift th
Ella's POVI have lost a lot this last few months but I have also made a new friend in Michelle and Lord knows that I needed her help. I wanted to take my mind off everything that was happening in my life and Michelle was like a guardian angel sent to me for that purpose. I went to view the restaurant that she was telling me about it and I won't lie it was everything I ever dreamt it would be. I love everything about it especially the fact that it is in a great area I wouldn't have been able to find something like. I was looking forward to making the changes as a restaurant so that I can make it my own and I want to lie I was a little disappointed when is Michelle came to me and told me that they only had changed his mind about selling the restaurant to me but they said that he was willing to make me an offer. I knew that was no way I was going to find a better location I likes that so I listened so that I could hear what the owner wanted to offer me. I want to lie it was a bit confu
Alexander's POVI would not call myself an envious man, that I could ever be jealous of another man and yet here I am at the cross roads. I know that my wife and I have problems and I know that those problems cannot be solved in a day but I also know that I am not going to give up on us even if she is. I don't know why she keeps on hurting me like this but what I know is that this is going to be the last time. I am not going to pass up the opportunity to talk to her.I know that I lied to her a few times but that doesn't mean that she now has to give up on us or what we are trying to build. I know that you don't have a perfect marriage but no one really does. I have my flaws just as much as any other guy. I just need us to work things out for our children. it doesn't even know this but my baby girls needs her motherly love. I just want her to get over being with me so that we can rebuild what is broken. I had to force her from the restaurant but that was only because I wanted her to
Ella's POVI have a missed my husband and I have missed anything so last night when he took me from the restaurant I decided that I should spend the night at his place. I honestly didn't know what to expect but what I did know was that I wanted to be close to him. it has been so long since I have been held by him and last night it felt like a dream. I didn't think that I was ready to forgive Alexandra for all that he has done to me but now I am not so sure anymore. I came back from Texas hoping to fix a broken marriage and instead I found a baby. I was hurt because I felt like he was trying to replace my baby I did last night we spoke about it and he told me that he two were still mourning the death of our daughter. I don't know but I somehow found comfort and what he was telling me in that moment. I want to get and I slept with him holding me the whole night. I can't remember the last time I slept that well. I have been the one preparing my son for school ever since I came back fro
Alexander's POVWalking into the living room and seeing my wife holding the baby girl meant everything to me. I never thought that a day would come when she would actually be in this house and take care of my baby girl and to see her holding her with care, to see love in her eyes meant a lot to me. Seeing her that way gave me hope that we could actually make things right. I want to fix things between us and I am willing to do everything I can to fix my marriage.I realise that Ella was right about me being a liar and if I want to fix things between us. We have a new family to think about and we can't be living in separate homes like we do. It has been a week since she warmed up to the baby and it has been a week since my family was all sleeping under the same roof. Ella has been keeping the kids at her house, she said that it made sense for her to stay with the kids while we sort our relationship out. I will say that she is not making things easy for me this time around. I am happy t
Ella's POVI will admit that I surprised myself when I warmes up up to the baby because I never thought that I could ever be able to hold her let alone look at her. I suppose hearing what his mum had to say was exactly what I needed to hear. I had no idea that he was not his biological mother. I realised that I had to forget the fact that my husband lied to me about the baby and focus on what's really important. I won't lie it has been a little bit challenging to have both kids with me but it is for the best. A lot of things have happened between Alexandra and me but I know that we can at least try to salvage whatever feelings we have for each other in order to make this marriage work if not for us then for the sake of our children. I believe that we have it in US to work this out especially now that I know that there are no secrets between us. I just wanted him to trust me and be honest with me. I was more upset about him lying to me than I was about him being a criminal mastermind.
Alexander's POV **** Fifteen Years Later**** " I am sorry Mr Black but we can't allow him to come back to this institute, your son is brilliant, he has a brilliant mind but he is the worst student this institution has had. " The Dean of students said to me. This is the fourth call she has made to me in the last two months about my son, he has been involved in fights and brawls ever since he went to university. I have three other children that I need to worry about and the person I should be least worried about is giving me stress. " I am sorry Dean, I will talk to him. " I said to the Dean. " Mr Black I don't think you hear me, we are beyond talking at this point, your son has proven time and again that he doesn't want to be here. " She said to me. " Dean I heard through the grapevine that you are about to host a gala dinner, something about raising funds for a new division at the university. " I said to her. " We haven't made a notice, how do you know about this?" She asked me.
Alexander's POVI knew something was up with Jack when he kept on dissappearing without any explanations. Not only that but he kept on asking me to give Michelle a job so that she would miss the wedding. I know that we have a lot of history together, that we are basically brothers but I don't know if I can let my wife down like that. Ella doesn't have that many friends, she only has two that she holds close to her heart, that would be Isabella and Michelle, both of which are part of the wedding celebration. The same wedding celebration I flew everyone here for, I booked out an entire resort for everyone. I didn't even understand why he would ask me that so I told him that I wanted a reason why he would even ask me to do something like that, especially after I told him that I want this wedding be perfect, I told him that Ella has to have the wedding of her dreams, if she had told me that she wanted to have dolphins at our wedding, believe me when I tell you that I would have made it h
Ella's POVThe last couple of days have been stressful, having a destination wedding is never easy. I wanted a beach wedding out of the country. I know that Tatiana is behind bars but after all that she has done to me, I can't let my guard down. I didn't tell Alexander but I have been having nightmares about the day of the shooting, I keep on releaving that moment in my mind, I wish I can say that being shot at was the worst part of it but it was not, it was the way Alexander looked at her that scares me to death. I can't help feeling like she will always find a way to ruin my marriage, to ruin the good thing I have going with my husband and family. I know that as long as she is truly out there, I will never be truly happy. She might be in jail but she won't be there forever. I have a fear that one day when I am truly happy, when my children and husband are happy, she will come and turn our lives upside down. She will snatch everything away from me. I have had to put Brad through ca
Alexander's POVI don't usually follow people's advice, especially when it comes to my personal life, I thought that I had all the answers, that I could really be a different man but I soon realised that I was wrong. I suppose talking to Minty helped me to make a few things clear for me, it made me realise what I wanted and why I wanted it. At first I was doing BDSM to deal with issues I couldn't control, I never thought that there was another reason for doing it but after I talked to Minty, I realised that I was using my troubles as an excuse. The truth is that I have always been that kind of a man. I have always had a taste for the extreme, from jumping out of the plane to diving with the Sharks, I have always been the one to live on the edge so my sexual tastes was also extreme. Even before I knew about the BDSM works I always had a thing for bondage and spanking but even then, not even when I was drunk out of my mind, I never did it to Ella, I didn't even think I could. I am abo
Ella's POVIt has been days since the Gala dinner and I honestly don't know what happened but I have been seeing a lot of changes in my husband and as much as I told him to stop buying me expensive gifts, it is like he is purposely trying to ignore me. On top of a very expensive necklace that he got me, he decided to get me an art piece, a very expensive art piece. Last night we went to an art gallery, one of his friends was having his work shown there and so he invited Alexander. It was the first time I set foot in a place like that, up until last night I didn't really think much about art. To me a painting was just a painting and a statue was just a statue but that changed last night. His friend had one of his destopian art pieces and I fell in love with it instantly. The statue was just full of life, the raw materials used were just out of this world and I could somehow imagine that in our home. I didn't tell Alexander that I wanted it, but I told him that I liked it and this morn
Alexander's POVI don't know how she managed to pull this off but I am happy with the work that she has put in to make this night a success. I will also say that I didn't think that I would see some of the faces I saw here tonight, especially faces that had no business being here. I am talking about the women in my past, the women I have had to let go and all for various reasons. I also realised that my parents were happy about the work my wife has put in to make this night a success. I still can't believe that this is where we are, that we are finally going to get everything we have always wanted. In a week I will see my wife walking down the isle once again and this time, I can't even wait for the day to come. I am at a place in my life where I feel like everything has finally fallen into place. I am about to become a father again and I will tell you now that there is no title in my life that I hold in high regard than the title of father. Two years ago I was not even thinking abo
Ella's POVIt has been three weeks since I got shot, three weeks since I have been back home with my family and I am only a week away from my wedding day, not only have I been planning my wedding, I have been planning the restaurant's official opening and also tonight's Gala dinner. It is the first time I have had to throw a party so big but with the help of my friends I was able to pull it off. It is an annual event that was had been organised by his mother since it was founded a decade ago. I will admit that I never thought that my life would turn out like this. That I would be a wife to a man like Alexander or even the fact that I would be responsible for events like the one I organised tonight. Alexander's mother said that she was tired of running the organisation and that it needed some fresh blood, I was not too keen on the idea of taking on something as big as this and in such a limited space of time. The gunshot wound was healing and now I felt like I was ready to take on the
Alexander's POV I did not want my wife to find out about my previous lifestyle and what used to happen between me and my ex's. I know that if it was up to me she wouldn't have found out at all but she wanted to know and I told her. I told her what was happening and I thought that she would ask me for details which would have been the worst because I don't think I could have been able to utter the words to her. The more I thought of it, the more I hated myself for it. All this time I thought that I was using Lacey as a coping mechanism but that is not true. The truth I that I was taking it all out on her because I was not dealing with things. I also realise that my wife was right when she said that I could not cut off that part of me like it didn't exist. I didn't want to hear that especially coming from her but that still doesn't change the fact that she was right but I also know that I can never do to her what I did to all those other women. I told her and left because I didn't wa
Ella's POVI will be the first to admit that Alexander caught me completely by surprise. I know that the insurance said that they would take some time to pay out and I was wondering if I was even able to start all over from the start again. I had put in a lot of work into making that restaurant what it was before that crazy woman burnt it all down. I kept on asking myself what I had done to have so much bad luck and now I know that it had nothing to do with bad luck at all. It had to do with the fact that another woman wanted my husband so bad that she was willing to ruin everything I had in order to get what she wanted and for a moment it seemed like she was going to do it, that she was going to get everything I had. My husband, my daughter and even my marriage. After weeks of worrying about my son, I couldn't just sit and do nothing. I don't know what I would have done if it was not for Michelle, she really came through for me and I don't even know how to thank her. I don't know w
