Chapter 53Alexander's soft voice calling my name snapped me out of my trail of thoughts. I turned my attention away from the bleak hospital room and locked gazes with him. He stood there, holding a bag of takeout from a nearby restaurant. My heart skipped a beat. Finally, a taste of an actual delicious food after two long days of the slurp served in the hospital.A smile crept across my face as he approached, his eyes filled with concern. "Hey, Emma," he said gently. "I thought you might be tired of hospital food, so I brought you something different."I couldn't hide my delight. "You have no idea how grateful I am, Alex. Hospital food is like a never-ending punishment." I expressed with pouted lips.He chuckled and handed me the take out bag. The aroma of freshly cooked food wafted into the sterile room, instantly awakening my senses. I peeked inside to find a delicious assortment of dishes that made my mouth water.As I took my first bite, flavors exploded in my mouth, and I couldn
Chapter 54As the car glided through the busy city streets, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and contentment. As we arrived home in the luxurious black car, anticipation mixed with a touch of nervousness settled within me. Maria, greeted us at the door, her warm smile welcoming us back. But her next words struck me like a bolt of lightning."Mr. Alexander, your mother has been here for the past two days," Maria informed us, her voice tinged with concern."I had told her earlier on that you were both in the hospital but she..."My heart skipped a beat as I exchanged a brief glance with Alexander. His mother's disapproval of our relationship was no secret. She had always been cold and distant towards me, never accepting me as a suitable partner for her son. The thought of facing her again, especially with my vulnerability in this delicate state of pregnancy, made me uneasy.Alexander squeezed my hand gently, his voice filled with assurance. "Emma, don't worry. Everything will b
Chapter 55I looked to my side but found that I was all alone so it must mean Alexander had woken up and left earlier on. Unaware of the storm going on downstairs, I heard muffled sounds of someone arguing and I could barely make out the words as the whole house is soundproof, I made my way towards the source of the heated voices.As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I hesitated for a moment, realizing that Alexander, his mother, and Olivia were engaged in a heated argument. A wave of uncertainty washed over me, unsure if I should intervene or retreat quietly. But before I could make a decision, their words reached my ears.His mother's voice, filled with anger and frustration, cut through the air. "Alexander, you have to choose between her and me. This woman has no place in our family. You know that!"I felt my heart skip a beat, the air suddenly becoming suffocating. Tears welled up in my eyes as I braced myself for his response.A brief pause lingered in the room, the tension thi
Chapter 56 And what would you like to feast upon, my dear?" he asked, his tone playful yet tender.I paused for a moment, contemplating the overwhelming list of cravings that had plagued me throughout the day. "Pizza," I began, ticking off the items on my fingers. "Burgers, fries, tacos... Oh, and sushi! I'm craving sushi like you wouldn't believe."Alexander's eyes widened in amusement as I continued. "And desserts, oh my! I want chocolate cake, ice cream, cookies, and a mountain of whipped cream. I could go on forever, but I think that's enough for now."He shook his head, chuckling softly. "Wait I also want...Pancakes," I began, ticking off items on my fingers. "Waffles, mac and cheese, pickles... Oh, and don't forget the ice cream! I need a pint of chocolate chip cookie dough."A chuckle escaped Alexander's lips as he tried to fathom the extent of my appetite. "Emma, I don't think you're eating for two. It's more like a food festival in there. How are you going to finish all of t
Chapter 57I opened my mouth to respond, ready to share the heartfelt conversation we had just had, but before I could utter a word, Olivia interjected, her voice firm. "It's personal girl stuff, Alexander. Nothing for you to worry about."Surprised by her response, Alexander's brows furrowed, and he glanced between us, sensing the change in dynamics. "Alright, if you say so," he replied, his tone tinged with a touch of confusion.Quickly shifting the focus, I eagerly asked about the food. "Did you manage to order everything I listed, Alexander?"A smile danced on his lips as he nodded. "Absolutely. Your feast is on its way, and you'll have it shortly.""Did I forget to tell you to get the pizza?" I asked more to myself"No I ordered it-""The ice cream ""Relax Em. You're gonna have your feast with nothing missing."Relieved, I sighed in contentment, looking forward to indulging in my extravagant cravings. However, before Alexander could take a seat, Olivia spoke up once again, her v
Chapter 58Her words offered me a glimmer of hope, and I felt a surge of gratitude for having someone like Olivia in my life. Not just as my sister in law but also as a friend. With tears welling in my eyes, I threw my arms around her, embracing her tightly."Thank you, Olivia," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion. "I don't know what I would do without you. Your support means everything to me."As we held each other, the door to the bedroom swung open, and there stood Alexander, his gaze filled with remorse. He cleared his throat, interrupting the tender moment we shared."I'm sorry for ruining this moment," he said softly, his voice tinged with regret. "Emma, your food has arrived. Shall we eat together?"My stomach rumbled at the mention of food. The stress and emotional turmoil that had plagued me just a few minutes ago vanished at the thought of food. With a mixture of anticipation and impatience, I jumped off the bed and hurriedly made my way towards the door, leaving both
Chapter 59As I lay in bed, my mind still filled with the echoes of laughter from our movie night, a wave of loneliness washed over me. The events of the past few days had taken a toll on my emotions, leaving me yearning for the comfort and closeness that only Alexander could provide. I longed for his presence, his touch, and the reassurance that everything would be alright. He had given them to me in abundance but I just wanted more.I sighed, my heart heavy with the weight of my desires. I knew I still wanted him so much. The doctor had already informed us that my sex drive would be way active in my state due to the hormones and I might be getting more and more needy of him and I would crave closeness and intimacy.Yet, I knew that Alexander and I needed time to heal, to rebuild the trust that had been shattered. I understood that rushing into intimacy would only complicate matters further. With a heavy heart, I resigned myself to spending the night alone.Just as sadness threatened
Chapter 60The air around us crackled with anticipation, and the room seemed to shrink, enveloping us in a cocoon of raw desire. The world outside didn't exist to either of us; there was only him and me, bound by an unspoken longing that had finally reached its breaking point.I wondered why I felt this damned crazy and hot but then I realized that even before I found out about the pregnancy, I had longed so dearly for his touch and what we had on that night that I had many dreams. Coupled up with the pregnancy now. The pregnancy must be messing with my libido and making me feel like if i didn't have him then i would both burn in frustration and lustful desire.We had danced around this precipice for what felt like an eternity, teasing and tasting the insides of each other's mouth. Our stolen glances and fleeting touches had been the kindling to the fire that threatened to consume both of us whole. And in this moment, we both knew that there was no turning back. We needed this, right
