THE CEO'S NOT-SO-OBEDIENT WIFE I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING
CHAPTER 20The words hung heavily in the air, punctuating the stark reality of our situation. "But what about the child?" Emma's voice quivered, barely above a whisper. "Are you saying we will raise a child together without any love between us?"My expression softened, my voice laced with sincerity. "I may not love you that way, but I will honor my responsibilities as a father. Our child deserves to grow up in a stable and loving environment. We can provide that, even if our own relationship is built on different foundations."Tears welled up in Emma's eyes as she grappled with the harsh reality of their circumstances. She had to consider the well-being of her unborn child, even if it meant sacrificing her own desires and dreams.With a heavy heart, Emma nodded slowly, accepting the path that had been thrust upon her. "I understand," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "If it's for the sake of our child, then I will do what needs to be done.

I hesitated, momentarily taken aback by the unexpected interruption. Curiosity getting the better of me, I approached her cautiously."Excuse me, are you Alexander?" she asked, her eyes filled with a mix of determination and concern.I nodded, a touch of wariness seeping into my voice. "Yes, I am. Who are you?"The woman took a deep breath, her gaze steady. "I'm Laila, Emma's friend," she replied, her voice carrying a hint of urgency. "I care deeply about her, and I need to talk to you about the relationship you're about to embark on for the sake of your child."Her words sent a shiver down m

CHAPTER 22Alexander took a deep breath, preparing himself to defend his choices. "Emma is not an ordinary girl, Mother. And yes, we are engaged. I made this decision to protect our family." Alexander's words hung in the air, his declaration reverberating through the room. His mother's face contorted with a mix of anger and disbelief. She leaned forward, her voice sharp and piercing. "Protect the family? You dare to speak of protecting the family while you throw your future away with some insignificant girl?" Her tone dripped with venom.Alexander's jaw clenched, his voice laced with a hint of frustration. "Mother, Emma is not insignificant. She carries my child, your grandchild. I will not abandon them."His mother's eyes blazed with fury, her words cutting like knives. "You think bringing an illegitimate child into this family is protecting it? You are deluded, Alexander.

CHAPTER 23Alexander.I tried not thinking about it but everything I do and wherever I go only seemed to remind me of that night with her. I tried using various girls to satiate my hunger for her but it never worked, that pleasure I got from her was never found anywhere else. I tried virgins and even paid them off, I tried sleeping with a virgin while both of us were completely drunk but all I felt was loneliness and confusion. I went back to the gallery and made researches about her and I found out that she was quite a talented artist and her art left me in wonder making her even more and more intriguing. I had been awaiting her call or at least even a text but she never even tried to text or call me. I wondered if there could be a possibility that the cleaning lady didn't give her the note so I went back to the hotel and made enquires, she had definitely received the number but she didn't seem to be willing to call me.Desperate, I had my assistant o

Instead, I would rise from the ashes, stronger and more determined than ever before.But first, there was something I needed to do.

"Thank you," I whispered, my voice filled with genuine appreciation. "I'm sorry for lashing out.

CHAPTER 26i marveled at the miracle of life, the intricate dance of cells multiplying and organs forming, all happening within the sanctuary of my own body. I was well aware of how sapiosexual I am and was willing to make my baby into that sort of person.Lost in the wonder of it all, I whispered softly to the tiny life within me, sharing my hopes, dreams, and unconditional love. It was a moment of pure vulnerability, a recognition that my own journey was now intertwined with another, and that the responsibility of nurturing and guiding this precious being would soon be my own.As I set my phone aside, the images of the babies still fresh in my mind, I closed my eyes and allowed myself to drift into a peaceful slumber.

CHAPTER 27As the initial shock wore off, he turned his gaze towards me, his eyes filled with a quiet intensity.I splashed cold water onto my face once more, the refreshing liquid soothing my heated skin. As I gazed at my reflection, I realized that my sudden rush to fix my appearance was not solely because of Alexander. It was an instinctual desire to present myself in the best possible light, to feel confident and put together.With newfound determination, I rummaged through my drawer, selecting a simple, flattering outfit and carefully applying a light touch of makeup. Each stroke of mascara and swipe of lip balm was an act of self-care, a way to enhance my own natural beauty rather than seeking validation from others.As I stood before the mirror, I couldn't help but question my motivations. Why was I going through all this effort to look good for a conversation with Alexander? Was it merely an excuse I had concocted to justify my actions? Or was

CHAPTER 129Emma's POV " Olivia was already in a coma. For three long years, she lay there, and I couldn't bring myself to come home. I felt so ashamed and guilty. I thought I had ruined my daughter's life. I did get the alimony and thought to redeem myself in both their eyes by the fact that Olivia at least got something off from the marriage."Tears welled up in my eyes as I listened to Mrs Collins' heartbreaking confession. The weight of her guilt was palpable. She had made grave mistakes, but deep down, I could sense her love for Olivia.Mrs Collins looked at me, her eyes filled with regret. "Emma, during those years, I couldn't face Olivia, but I couldn't bear being away from both my children any longer. That's why I returned for Alexander.

I wondered how many mistakes she had made to make Alexander and Olivia be so mad at her.As we sat quietly on the bench Mrs Collins and I, a question burned within me. I mustered up the courage to ask, "Mrs Collins, may I ask why you were this way with your children. I do not want to seem intrusive but, we're your parents the same way with you?"Mrs Collins sighed, a mix of sorrow and regret on her face. She turned to me and said, "Emma, I wish to tell you a story. Do you wanna hear it?" She asked and I nodded gently." We weren't always so wealthy, you see, my parents weren't that poor, we were comfortab

It's time to get dressed," I called out, feeling a mix of exhaustion and amusement.But Asher just giggled even louder, darting away from us with his tiny legs carrying him swiftly. I could feel my energy draining, and I was close to giving up when I noticed him heading straight for the entrance of the mansion. Panic surged through me, and I hurried to catch up to him, not wanting him to hurt himself on the stairs of the pavement.Just as I reached the entrance, my heart skipped a beat as I came face to face with a pair of feet in ruby shiny slippers.

It's just what I need to cuddle and bond with Asher."He smiled warmly. "And see that shelf over there? It's filled with all the books Olivia and I loved reading when we were kids. We want Asher to grow up surrounded by stories and imagination. Who knows, he could be an artist like the both of us or be a writer like Olivia had always dreamed of being."I walked over to the shelf, tracing my fingers along the spines of the books. "Oh, I can't wait to read to him every night."The room was complete with a changing table, adorned with soft, fluffy towels and neatly organized diapers and baby products. There was also a small dresser for Asher's tiny clothes, each item carefully folded and arranged."Everything is ready for our little p

"Take care of yourselves too. It's important to stay strong for her.
