THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILD (THIRTEEN)
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Lexie became even more awkward when Rafe wiped the spilled water from her lips to her neck with a tissue. She had never been treated this special by anyone. Especially a foreign man who just hours ago had yelled at her.
"Would you like another drink?"
"Not. My throat is not dry anymore. You been here all night?”
“I haven't moved anywhere since you were transferred to this room. I haven't even changed my shirt yet."
Lexie was stunned to see Rafe's appearance which was very messy and covered with blood. Rafe's face was gloomy and filled with tired lines. Seeing Rafe's condition made the guilt she tried to forget to surface again. She failed to keep the baby alive.
"You okay? You suddenly became silent.”
Lexie glanced at Rafe, then she lowered her face again. This time it was deeper until her chin was almost pressed against her chest.
"He's gone. Your baby dead."
"Don't think about it. He's still blood. He's not even a fet

Rafe slams the documents on the table and releases the anger that has been boiling over his head on his assistant, Matthew Brunwick or Matt, for all the mistakes he made today on his precious projects. “I told you two weeks ago that I don't agree with the price proposed by Wilcox, I want the funding report amended, and you type the amounts I gave you. Why do you still maintain the same nominal?” "Sorry, but Mr. Wilcox said—” "Who paid you, huh?" Rafe shouted angrily. He didn't like that his assistant took his marketing manager's words more than his. “Wilcox is an idiot and has no confidence in my company's capabilities. He thought that by lowering the price of my parts, he could attract more clients to earn more turnover. But no, my price will bring in more clients and profit. I'm pretty confident with my factory made parts. We have been producing the best parts for many years. You understand that, Matt?” Matthew nodded stiffly then walked out

"Very sad," said Wren sadly. “Every day Rafe sat outside the operating room, waiting for his father and mother to come out of the operating room, even though his parents were buried. He kept coming to the hospital because he thought his mother and father would come out of the operating room in good codition one day. I sympathized with him greatly and decided to accompany him to sit in front of the operating room. As the son of a doctor, I was in the hospital quite often to keep my father company. My mother and father divorced, so we lived alone. I'm lonely at home alone after school. I always come to the hospital after school to tease the young nurses and doctors.” Wren laughed reminiscing about his funny past. He didn't expect that he would be able to get through the tough times in the past and stay here to continue his father's passion as a doctor. “You guys had a difficult childhood. I... my childhood was quite happy and fun. But everything changed when I was growing up a
THE BILLIONAIRE WANTS HER RAW FISH TASTE (SIXTEEN)
Lexie looked at the pale area on the back of her hand that looked weird. They were the marks of intravenous needles and medical plasters that were stuck to her skin tightly. The infusion needle had a striking effect on her skin. Like a pale color that is not pretty and looks very contrasting with other areas of her skin. On her right hand the traces of the intravenous needle she had forcibly removed four days ago are starting to fade. Lexie chuckled blandly that she got two IV needle marks on the back of her hand in just a short period of time. How often she was in and out of the hospital these days. It seemed odd and somewhat amusing that she was rarely even a patient in the hospital. She's a healthy girl. Growing up in the abundance of parental love. And she is the happiest girl in the world. Yeah, but you were. Something inside her head mocked her. She heard the voice echo over and over again to make fun of her misfortune at being kicked out of the house
THE BILLIONAIRE WANTS HER RAFE'S PLAN (SEVENTEEN)
Lexie suddenly jumped out of her chair and ran quickly to the nearest toilet. She didn't pay much attention to her footsteps and only focused on the urge from her stomach that was about to gush out. She then pushed hard on the toilet door and immediately threw up her entire stomach in the sink. She bent so long in front of the sink that her legs went limp and she slumped to the floor. Meanwhile Rafe became annoyed next to her. He was angry that Lexie didn't swallow the sushi and rushed to the nearest toilet to empty her mouth. "I said swallow. Why did you throw it up?” Rafe followed her to the toilet. He had his arms crossed in the doorway with a grim face, while Lexie looked tormented, bending over in front of the sink to spit out her guts. Her eyes filled with tears at the thought of the expensive chocolate that had just been thrown out of her stomach. Lexie raised her flushed face and her teary eyes met Rafe's dark eyes who were staring at her angrily.

When Lexie was busy thinking, suddenly there was a soft knock on her bedroom door. Kaella's shrill voice rang out in front of her room, screaming for her to get up. “Lexie, are you awake? It's me, Kaella. Please open the door. I brought you something." Lexie put the gift from Rafe on her bed, then staggered slightly to open the door for Kaella. She almost tripped over the thick fur carpet because she was in too much of a hurry to meet Kaella who couldn't wait to break down her bedroom door. "Hey, am I bothering you?" "Not. I happened to be awake. Well… I just haven't gotten ready for breakfast yet.” "Good thing you're awake. Look what I got for you." Lexie barely noticed what Kaella was carrying in her right hand because she was too focused on seeing Kaella's face which was so cheerful and fresh. If they hadn't shared the bitter story last night, she wouldn't have guessed that Kaella had such bad experiences in the past. “A dre

"I'm ready. We can leave now." Rafe shifted his gaze from the cellphone screen filled with sickening emails to Lexie whose footsteps lightly tapped on the marble staircase in his house. For a few seconds he was fascinated by the appearance of Lexie who looked very beautiful and elegant in a gold satin dress whose chest was filled with beautiful crystals that shone like her face. He had not picked the wrong dress for Lexie because it made her shine even brighter tonight. Like she is a star to light up his always gloomy life. "You are very beautiful tonight. That dress suits you very well.” Lexie smiled faintly. She was happy to see Rafe admiring her appearance even though she felt the dress was too sexy for her. The slit of the dress along the legs was so high that it was able to expose her calves clearly. Meanwhile, her chest which was filled with beautiful crystal stones hugged her chest tightly, so that it seemed as if her breasts were spilled in the tight

Lexie didn't make any sound on the way to Rafe's party. He sat pressed against the door, keeping his distance from Rafe who was also sitting quietly in his place on the left. There wasn't any conversation between them, as if that was the best thing they should be doing right now. Lexie felt she couldn't say anything to Rafe as long as the man, Alan, was driving ahead. Since the corner of Alan's eyes, it seemed as if he was watching him, who mostly turned his face to the window. He purposely didn't make any contact with anyone so he could calm himself from all sorts of vigilance that was starting to poison his brain. When the car stopped at the Lower Broadway intersection as a group of pedestrians crossed the street, Lexie rolled her eyes at Rafe. He wanted to know what Rafe was doing right now. But apparently Rafe did nothing. His gaze locked forward, his jaw tightened, he seemed bored to see a group of tourists crossing the street while occasionally photographing any object

They exited the casino room through the same door, which was guarded by Gael and Robert. There didn't seem to be any other door to exit the room to make it easier for Gael and Robert to check on the guests. As soon as they stepped out of the casino room, the sound of loud stomping music filled Lexie's ears again. This time it took her a little longer to adjust to the noise as her ears clearly preferred the softer music in the casino room. "What are we going to do on the dance floor?" "Having fun. You can order food and drinks at the bar." "Only me? How about you?" Lexie tried to raise her voice between loud music that stomped all her nerves. In fact, she wasn't comfortable here. “You have to eat something so that you recover quickly.” When Rafe was pulling Lexie's hand across the noisy dance floor, a man suddenly stopped their steps and made Rafe freeze instantly. "Cooper Smillow." “Great party. Thank you for inviting me. I've

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
