2024-10-29 19:42:56Lexie opened her eyes on the fifth day after she woke up. She's still in the hospital. Alone. She stared at the boring ceiling of her room, getting ready to start her more boring day. Yesterday she urged doctor Tom to let her go home today. She's more than healthy now. There is no need for an IV to insert the nutrients needed by her body or her baby because she can already eat all the food provided for her. She was clear of all the medical tubes and IV needles. Just need to get ready to go home today.
But where?
The question had been circling in her mind for the past two days. She might be able to return to Rafe's mansion, but without that man by her side, it felt like she had no right to live there.
Since she saw Rafe who was still fast asleep in the ICU. Wren seemed to know the restlessness of her heart. Wren offers her his apartment as a temporary shelter for her as long as she doesn't decide what to do after this.
After that day, they did

After the door closed, complete silence enveloped him. Lexie's uproar was over. Rafe told Betty to go back to her room and take a rest. He asks his men to leave him alone. He will see Lexie in her room. He limped up the stairs, clinging tightly to the stair railing like he was a decrepit old man. It sucks to be an invalid like this. He had to depend on others to move. He hates to depend on other people for his life. It makes him vulnerable. Others would think he was weak and lousy. No one would be afraid of him if he became weak like this. When he finally arrived on the second floor, his breath seemed to be sucked out of his lungs. He was panting so hard he had to bend down ninety degrees at the top of the stairs to catch his breath. Then he wiped the sweat dripping off his forehead. He felt a faint sting of pain in his back. If the doctor saw him in this poor condition, the damn doctor would surely mock him and blame him for forcing himself to go home even though hi

Lexie watched Rafe from the second floor balcony as the man was doing physiotherapy with his therapist. A man in his early thirties helped Rafe walk on the iron planks that had been specially prepared for today's physiotherapy process. Lexie yawned bored many times. She has no activities today. Yeah.. not for the first time. She always had nothing to do during his stay in this house. She might have to nag Rafe to let her get her home schooling back. "Time for some fruit." Lexie looked back and found Betty carrying a bowl of fruit that had been cut into pieces and drizzled with her favorite yogurt. “Why didn't you tell me since yesterday that you were pregnant? Rafe just told me and asked me to fulfill all your nutrition during your pregnancy.” "Thank you Betty. Yesterday I just didn't have the time to say it." Lexie took the bowl from Betty's hand and placed it on the table. "Sit down? We can have some talk.” Betty thought about it for

Lexie looked up reflexively. She could hardly believe what she had just heard. An Rafe wants to ask her for help? “Can you help me shave? My hands hurt after today's practice." Lexie was almost stunned by Rafe's words. Is it true that Rafe asked for her help and did not order her to help him? "I think I can. I used to do it for my dad after he got sick.” “Perfect. Let's go to my room now." Rafe removed his hand from Lexie's wrist, leaving a hot trail on Lexie's burning skin. She still couldn't believe what had just happened to her. She had never felt a feeling like this. And she was thrilled because she was about to set foot in Rafe's room for the first time since she'd lived here. Betty once said that Rafe's room was a restricted area. Rafe didn't like his personal things to be disturbed by other people. And all this time Lexie didn't want to be nosy by trying to get into Rafe's room because she wasn't really interested in going in there. But

Lexie took one of the bathrobes from the pile of towels and put it on and tied it tightly. She rubbed the misty surface of the mirror with her palm and looked at her own reflection in the mirror. She looked so refreshed after a nice warm bath. Rafe has a huge collection of liquid soaps. She tried several soaps which she thought smelled very good and made her relax. Now her body smelled really good from those expensive soaps. They have names that are hard to spell. And it looks like it's a hand-made bath soap with the smell of expensive perfumes. Lexie saw her cheeks blush and heat up. She was a little confused to get out of Rafe's bathroom. She wished Rafe had come out of his room, so she wouldn't have to face Rafe again. Accompanying him bathing here was already making her nervous to death. Now she uses his super-sophisticated bathroom. She loved to press all the buttons on the remote to determine the speed of the water, the temperature level and other sophisticated things

Wren suddenly became interested in the topic of Amora. He hadn't seen Amora in a long time and chatted with her. The woman is one of Rafe's lawyers and the smartest among all the lawyers owned by Rafe. Amora has good achievements and always wins every case she handles. Rafe and Amora have been best friends since college. That's why Rafe recruited Amora to be his lawyer. And this time he didn't expect that Rafe would use Amora to press charges against Jacob. "I haven't heard of her in a long time. How is she now?” "Still beautiful and sexy. You'll see for yourself later." “Ahhh… does Amora know that you now have Lexie?” "She doesn't need to know. She works for me to solve all the legal issues involving me and my business. Lexie is my private matter.” “Whoa, why are you suddenly so tense?” Wren is happy that he can tease Rafe using Amora. They used to have a serious relationship for a year before Rafe moved into Brittany's arms. According to him

"Wren, thank you very much. It was really amazing. The ice cream is very soft and delicious.” “I told you that you won't regret going there. Are you happy? You're not bored anymore?" "I am very happy. I am very satisfied and full.” Lexie burst out laughing while patting her stomach. They walked up the stairs in front of the main door of Rafe's mansion. When getting out of Wren's car, Lexie saw Amora's flashy pink car still parked in the car port. She was curious about the business they were talking about in Rafe's study. She and Wren had even been gone for about two hours, and the business between Rafe and Amora wasn't over yet. "I think I'm going home. Tonight I have a night shift schedule at the hospital.” "Don't work too much. Take more frequent breaks so that you recover fully.” “I've recovered, Lexie. See you again." Lexie froze when Wren suddenly kissed the corner of her lips. Her eyes bulged open, while Wren seemed to en

The night was really quiet and still in the house. Lexie sat on her bed fully clothed. A high-necked sweeter, tight jeans and boots. All of them are attributes to protect her body from the cold air at night. This week she is in late fall. Next week she will have a winter with more extreme weather and colder air piercing her skin. She better get out of this house right now, before she won't be able to move anywhere anymore because of the weather and her growing pregnancy. Now she doesn't have a baby bump yet. The baby is safely hidden under a warm oversized sweeter. But she added a parka jacket for extra warmth. And now she was really ready for an escape. Lexie got out of bed. The sheet she had found in her closet had turned into a backpack. She had studied the trick of tying cloth in art class in high school. And luckily it became useful for her current escape. She had tied the ends of the sheets in a dead knot. Put in a few pieces of clothing she needs, then tie the top aga

“I paid you a lot, bitch! You should be able to serve me well.” Rafe grabbed the woman's auburn hair so hard that her head tilted upwards. The woman whimpered in pain, begging to be released from Rafe's rough grip. But Rafe didn't seem content with throwing the harshest curses at her and kept hurting her until the man next to him tried to help the poor woman. "Let her go, Rafe. You've crossed the line." "Don't cross your line, Wren. This woman really needs to be punished for robbing my money for such a terrible service.” "She has tried his best. You who are never satisfied with all the things they do to you.” Wren sighed heavily and pulled Rafe's hand away. He motioned for the poor woman to leave their room immediately because Rafe could have had a worse tantrum. "She's not the first woman you've treated like that. Every day you always feel dissatisfied with every woman who tries to serve you well. It's as if you're taking all your ang

Lexie watched Rafe leave in silence. Guilt gripped her heart because Rafe saw her with Justin. Although it is unlikely that anything will happen between her and Justin, but Rafe seems quite jealous of their closeness. She was just grateful that Xena was sleeping soundly now. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if it had been Xena. "Come on Lexie. We have to hurry because we have wasted quite a bit of time.” Justin led her to the elevator. His arms were still slung over her shoulders and he pressed the lobby button for both of them after the elevator doors closed. "Is he still rude?" "What?" Lexie asked looking up. "Your husband. I used to see you cry because of that man. Is he still as rude as before?” "Sometimes." Lexie answered half dreamily. No marriage is absolutely flawless. There are always fights and arguments in every marriage relationship. Even she couldn't keep herself away from all domestic troubles. Rafe or Xena h

"Dance with me, lady?"Lexie looked up, left her cherry juice and smiled gently at the man who had just reached out in front of her. She didn't waste the opportunity to dance with this handsome man and took his outstretched hand in front of her face."Of course. It's an amazing party and I can't miss dancing with a guy like you." Lexie smiled gently.The man led her to the center of the ballroom, joining another couple who had already started their dance. His wide palm gripped Lexie's tiny palm which was so soft. He smiled widely at everyone, as if he was celebrating his success in persuading a princess to dance with him."Beautiful music. Thank you for asking me to dance."Lexie pressed herself against the man, holding on to his sturdy shoulders and they began to move in sync with the melodious classical music. The soft violins play beautiful notes with the rest of the orchestra. Lexie closed her eyes while following every movement made by her dan

Tonight was really fun for Rafe because he was in the midst of a harmonious complete family. There is a father-in-law who is so kind to him, a lover or a future wife or maybe his wife and an adorable son. They had dinner together happily at the dining table. There were loud laughter from his father-in-law and spoiled whimpers from Archer if Lexie started forbidding him to do this and that. Everything seemed so good to Rafe that he was reluctant to return to his miserable life in New York. If he could, he wanted to be in the midst of this family forever. And in order to make his wish come true, he needed to improve the conditions between himself and Lexie. He needed to make it clear to Lexie that he wanted a complete family and didn't want to live apart like he used to. “Archer is asleep?” Rafe deliberately waited for Lexie in front of her bedroom. Tonight he was supposed to sleep in Kaella's room, but he hadn't been in Kaella’s room since then and had just stood by t

Fifteen minutes later they arrived at Lexie's beautiful two-story house filled with various kinds of plants in the front yard. Rafe was almost surprised to see so much change in the house. The last time he came here, the house had no woody trees. But now the front of Lexie's house was filled with giant pots filled with woody trees that were struggling to grow into giant-sturdy trees. The flowers that were once only planted in two small pots, have grown into a bunch of colorful flowers that have been transplanted into the ground. "There have been a lot of changes in this house." “My father used the garden next to the house as a garage because it wasn't safe to park the car just on the side of the road. Sometimes there are naughty children who scribble on the car body with spray paint. Some time ago our neighbor was screaming hysterically because his Mercedes Benz had been scribbled with a series of obscene swear words.” “Your father has done the right thing as

Rafe stepped off the plane and was greeted by a light drizzle in late summer. The soothing scent of wet earth relaxes him for a moment. A little man who will be his driver today to go to Lexie's house has just opened an umbrella near the plane steps, getting ready to umbrella him. Rafe actually had absolutely no problem walking in the rain. This is really refreshing and can wash away a little bit of his anxiety that is thickening more and more. "Thank you. Before we go to Lexie's house, I will pick up my son at his day care. He'll be home in thirty minutes." The man nodded after handing the umbrella handle to him. Rafe walked slowly behind the man to his car which was parked near the hangar. He inhaled strongly the scent of summer which was about to fade and be replaced by the cold, gray scent of autumn. Time flies so fast, and he hasn't been able to summon Xena back so he can surface like he used to. "Please come in, sir." The man grabbed the handle

Lexie stepped aside for a moment from the commotion of the bridal shower which was really noisy and excited. Tomorrow morning Kaella will marry her lover, and today will be her last day as a single. So everyone was excited to have a party in one of the finest suits at a five-star hotel in Charleston. Her cell phone has been ringing loudly ever since. She had ignored the call because she was pinning the crown for the bride-to-be and taking pictures with the rest of Kaella's friends. Now she would pick up Rafe's call and talk to him because Rafe must have called her for something important. “Hi Honey, sorry for not picking up your call. I was at Kaella's bridal shower. It's very noisy in here. Tomorrow you will come to her wedding right?” Lexie finally found a comfortable and quiet place to talk to Rafe. While everyone was partying like crazy in Kaella's suit room. She has a balcony which is very quiet and with a beautiful view of the city of Charleston. Folly Beach wa

Xena looked to the side, at the statue of the cross that soared up to the church ceiling. He imagined the look on his face that looked ridiculous as he said those bullshit words. There is no love in his heart. It should be like that. But strangely he felt love when he was with Lexie. At first he felt loved, and more and more he felt like loving. It was the most complicated reciprocal relationship he had ever experienced. His week-long trip to Chicago wasn't strictly business. He purposely distanced himself from Lexie to reflect on all this. Does he really love Lexie? Did he really want to be with Lexie forever? And after a week of excruciating contemplation, he finally came to the one answer that he wanted all of that. He wanted to love Lexie, he wanted to be with Lexie, and he wanted to make Lexie happy. Unfortunately this body does not belong to him. He couldn't be selfish by removing Rafe forever from this body. And he had to do something to fix all of this."Xena... are y

There are so many things that it can sometimes be confusing to the point of misleading. Some of them sometimes appear in the form of secrets that are difficult to understand. Like Xena and Rafe who are very elusive. Even though they live in the same body, they have two separate elements. Had they come together, the two of them would probably have been a formidable fusion of two elements. It would create a man with the perfect personality. It should be like that. But in reality it is not easy to unite two elements that are already separated.Lexie stood on the balcony alone looking up at the starry night sky. Tonight the air is very warm, suddenly she couldn't sleep because she was thinking about many things. First she thought of Xena who suddenly disappeared without a word. The rest of the day she spent thinking about the man's whereabouts now and the possibility if Xena and Rafe fused into one unified element. It would definitely be great if they could unite to occupy their

"Wren! I can't believe it's you." Lexie hugged Wren very tightly after she opened the front door wide and told Wren to come in. It's really an unexpected surprise that she can meet Wren who is now super busy. After a week of living in New York, Lexie finally got to meet Wren. "Long time no see and you are getting more beautiful and sexy." Wren chuckled as he patted Lexie's shoulder a few times. God only knows how badly he missed this woman. He had lost track of Lexie ever since Lexie disappeared and Rafe gave him a stern warning not to try to get someone to track her down. "You say I'm sexy? No way. I got fatter after giving birth. Come in." "But you actually look sexier. You used to be so skinny, you know. I prefer your new look." Wren studied Lexie's body from head to toe. Her long hair has now been cut shorter with a very beautiful wavy style at the ends. Lexie gained weight of course because her arms and curves were now more beautiful than
