Chapter 82

I couldn't resist and turned to look at him staring back at me with a smile on his beautiful, handsome face. The genuine smile on his face was both unique and captivating all at the same time.

I gazed at his still wet hair and studied him with eyes glowing with desire. "Don't look at me like that." He warned. These days I have been more craving, whether it was food or sex. I had never come at him like that before, without shying away and I'm sure he wondered what exactly had changed.

"Are you tired?" I asked playing innocent as I hoped for an answer beneficial to me. "Yes." He said simply and I felt saddened.

I nodded with a slightly disappointed smile which could be clearly seen in my eyes."Goodnight then." I forced myself to smile and then tucked myself under the sheets turning away from him.

"Em..."

"Sleep if you are tired. Hearing your voice in the dim light makes more difficult for me." I admitted cutting him off. I heard a slight chuc

    CHAPTER 83I could feel it, his rod was still hard and standing firm inside of me. "Are you alright?" He asked lovingly and I nodded unable to speak. Alexander rolled me over so that I was laying on my back with him on top. He eyes seemed to study me for a while. I was still feeling all shaky but I tried my best to look alright. He caressed me slowly. "Tell me when you are ready to go again." He whispered grazing his fingers down my thighs. The feeling of his fingers trailing upwards sent my whole body ablaze once more. Reaching up I grabbed the back of his head and brought his lips down on mine while he tried his best to hold himself up a bit so as not to crush the baby with his weight. And after 3 more rounds, Alexander finally finished up and we zoomed off to Dreamland.I laid on bed fully awake, I needed to take a bath and eat breakfast as I was famished but I couldn't help but savor this moment. This peaceful moment with Alexander. There was so much of

    Chapter 85"I know you're confused about why I decided we meet this way. Well I found some... Files. I want to know if there's anything suspicious going on in the company." I explained calmly. "Emma, I've been investigating the irregularities in the company's finances," Olivia began, her voice grave. "There's a possibility that we have a mole within the organization. Someone is manipulating the numbers, and Alexander seems oblivious to it all."So there's also the possibility of the numbers being manipulated and this all just being a weird misunderstanding "I found the discrepancies in the documents, Olivia. Something is definitely wrong. But why would someone do this? And how long has it been going on?"Olivia sighed, her brows furrowing in frustration. "I've been trying to find answers to those questions myself, Emma. It's been going on for months, maybe even longer. The motive remains unclear, but it's evident that someone within the company is siph

    CHAPTER 86Fear and anger welled up inside of me. How was it possible that Alexander had been oblivious to the extent of the corruption within his own company? It was clear that he had been either deceived or was the mastermind behind it all.I had to take action, not only for the sake of our company but also to safeguard Alexander's reputation and the trust of our employees, artists and clients.With each discovery, my resolve grew stronger. I would have to speak with Alexander on this and present the evidence, urging him to take decisive action. If he still acts carefree about it then my doubts would be clarified that this was all happening to his command.But as the realization settled in, a seed of doubt gnawed at the back of my mind. What if Alexander was somehow involved? What if he was aware of the deception and had deliberately turned a blind eye? The thought sent shivers down my spine, and I pushed it aside, determined to give him the benefit of

    CHAPTER 87Alexander, how could this be. My Alexander was involved in this? How could I have fallen so madly in love with such a person. Alexander is most definitely not the man I thought i knew. The documents, with their bold, ominous headers, bore the unmistakable marks of corruption and illegal activities. My hands shook as I picked up a photograph of Alexander shaking hands with a man I recognized from the news - a notorious mob boss. The sight of it sent a chill down my spine."Alexander," I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible, I had no idea what to think or do, the silence in the room made the air suffocating and I began hyperventilating like one who suffers from claustrophobia. My mind felt like a whirlwind of thoughts, each more horrifying than the last.For a moment, I considered leaving everything exactly as it was and pretending I had never found the room. But the truth was a bitter pill that had to be swallowed. I needed answers,no

    CHAPTER 88She held up her hand, cutting him off. "Olivia," she interjected, her voice clear and decisive, "I wish to speak to you privately before you head off to the company."Olivia, was taken aback by her request, she exchanged a quick, apprehensive glance with Alexander before responding, "Of course, Emma."We ate the rest of our breakfast in silence, everyone lost in their own thoughts. Alexander kept his gaze fixed on Emma the whole time as he felt apologetic. As we all finished our breakfast, Alexander rose from the table, his eyes filled with a strange mix of regret and longing. He leaned towards Emma, attempting to plant a farewell kiss on her cheek, a morning ritual they had started, he would kiss her forehead and her baby bump. But this time was different, she stiffened, pulling away before he could make contact. He watched her retreating figure, his heart aching at the coldness that had replaced the warmth she used to exude.He left the m

    CHAPTER 89In the evening, we found ourselves in the living room, an awkward silence hanging between us that has become more familiar these past few days. Alexander was perched on the edge of the cushy armchair, his eyes fixed on the antique clock on the wall. I was sprawled on the couch, a book in my lap that I wasn't really reading."I didn't mean for things to get this complicated, Emma," Alexander finally broke the silence, his voice filled with regret. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, my heart pounding in my chest. But I didn't respond, merely turning a page in the book."I... I just thought I was helping them," he continued, his gaze now fixed on me. "I thought I was giving them a platform, an opportunity to showcase their talent, it's complicated now but it will-."I scoffed, finally closing the book and turning to face him. "By exploiting them, Alex? By taking advantage of their dreams?"He flinched as if I had physically struck him. "I.

And right now, that responsibility was getting to the bottom of this mess.I finally got to the company and my colleagues greeted me formally, I had made sure no one in the company knows who I truly am and my connection to the CEO, Alexander. I didn't want them to treat me differently. I entered the elevator and then got to Alexander's floor. I walked out of the elevator and began walking to his office when someone stopped me."No, where do you think you are barging into like that Miss Olivia?" It was Alexander's arrogant assistant, Vivian."Get out of my way Vivian or I will get you fired." I said through grinded teeth. "And 2ho do you think you are to fire me? Have you lost it?""Olivia" Alexander called and I looked up to find Alexander standing there right outside his office. I gave Vivian on

    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've made many mistakes, in my life but the greatest of all was neglecting them. Making them live their lives like my little puppets. I want them to know how much I love them."She sat back on the bench and let out a huge depressed sigh. 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."

But he giggled and ran about, refusing to cooperate."Come on, Asher! 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.

We thought it would be perfect for those late-night feedings and soothing moments."I sat down in the rocking chair, feeling its smooth wood against my back. "Thank you, Alexander. 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.
