Chapter 70Suddenly, he moved towards me, planting soft kisses on my tender skin But as his desire grew, I felt a wave of exhaustion wash over me. I hesitated, my voice barely a whisper. "Alexander, I'm... I'm tired," I managed to say, my words laced with a mix of longing and weariness.Understanding flickered in his eyes, and he gently brushed a strand of hair away from my face. "I understand, my love," he replied, his voice filled with tenderness. "Rest, and let me hold you." Without another word, he shifted his position, settling himself beside me and pulling me into his warm embrace. His arms wrapped around me, creating a cocoon of safety and love. I nestled my head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, that served as a lullaby lulling me to sleep.As I drifted off to sleep, I felt his lips brush against my forehead in a gentle kiss. His arms held me close, providing a sense of warmth. And I surrendered to the sweet embr
CHAPTER 71I made sure to help Alexander with all his workload, whether it was organizing files, drafting emails, or brainstorming ideas, we shared the responsibility and enjoyed the peace of the aftermath. Our shared moments of productivity were interspersed with stolen glances, gentle touches, and whispered words of affection.Maria, became our lifeline outside the confines of our room. We would call her, requesting meals and snacks to be delivered to our sanctuary. She would arrive with a smile, setting the tray down on the small table we had set up near the window. The curtains bathed the room in soft, filtered light, creating a serene and cozy atmosphere.As we indulged in our meals, we engaged in lively conversations, sharing our thoughts, aspirations, and even the mundane details of our days. Time seemed to stand still as we laughed, teased, and immersed ourselves in each other's company.The outside world faded away, its distractions and demands
CHAPTER 72I stepped out to find him also fully dressed and together we made our way out of the room. Hand in hand. Alexander and I descended the stairs hand in hand, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, enticing me to the breakfast table.Olivia, and Maria, were already seated, engaged in lively conversation. Olivia's eyes lit up with mischief as she noticed our entrance. "Well, well, look who's finally gracing us with their presence!" she exclaimed, a playful smile tugging at her lips.Alexander grinned, pulling out a chair for me. "Good morning, everyone. We couldn't resist the temptation of your delightful company," he replied, his voice filled with mischief.Blushing slightly, I took my seat, feeling the familiar comfort of family and love around me. Maria chuckled, her laughter contagious. "Well it's about time you know, It's about time you joined us. We were beginning to think you were lost in dreamland or... Sky
CHAPTER 73I wanted to create a haven for our child, a place filled with love, warmth, and comfort. I already had a beautiful theme in mind that would do well with both gender, so no matter the gender, he or she would love the room.As I sat in the quiet solitude of my room, I couldn't help but feel grateful. I was surrounded by love, blessed with a growing family, and on the verge of the most transformative journey of my life. A soft sigh escaped my lips as I leaned back into the cushions of the armchair, my hands still gently resting on my belly. Alexander had gotten this armchair for me as I preferred to seat up than lay on the bed. The Best part is that it has a massage setting that also helps me feel relaxed. As I closed my eyes, I could almost see our future - all of us, standing firm all together as a family filled with laughter, love, and an endless amount of joy. The thought brought a smile to my face as I drifted off to sleep, dreaming of t
CHAPTER 74We picked out a beautiful brown like crib, a comfortable rocking chair, and countless cute baby clothes. I even got the three of us matching outfits. We even found a soft, plush teddy bear that I instantly fell in love with. So cute.As the day wore on, we grew tired but happy. I felt so hungry but hid my hunger behind the excitement of shopping for my child until Alexander had heard the embarrassing growl of my stomach. We decided to stop for a late lunch, sharing a quiet meal amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy city. By the time we got home, it was late afternoon. Maria greeted us at the door as always, a knowing smile on her face as she helped us unload the car. Olivia joined us, her eyes wide with excitement as she helped us sort through our purchases.The rest of the day was spent arranging and decorating the baby's room. We worked together, turning the bare room into a cozy nursery. Olivia's creative touch was evident in every corner,
Chapter 75I placed my phone on the table and took a seat, ready to savor my breakfast. The scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the aroma of warm bacon, toasted bread and scrambled eggs. But as I glanced around the table, I found that it looked rather empty like something quite important was missing, or rather, someone. That's when I realized that Olivia isn't at the table yet, she's always here before me as she always needed to go to the company on time. Concern crept into my thoughts, and I turned to Alexander, who sat across from me at the head table, his gaze fixed on his plate."Where's Olivia?" I asked, my voice laced with worry.Alexander looked up, his eyes meeting mine, and his expression softened. "She had some important work to deal with at the company. It seems like a pressing matter, but she didn't go into details."I frowned, my fingertips tracing circles on the surface of the table. Olivia rarely missed breakfast,
CHAPTER 76How had I not known about this? It seemed that Alexander had forgotten to mention it to me in the midst of his busy schedule. It's okay, I'll just remind him about it once he gets home.If he had forgotten to tell me about it, it also means that he forget to prepare anything for a donation. Suddenly, my thoughts wandered back to the coincidental situation I'm in. It's an art charity auction and I'm going to try make a masterpiece today, I could use the charity auction as an excuse for my art and I would finally get recognition as Alexander's wife. Excitement swirled within me as I envisioned the event. I imagined the elegant venue adorned with stunning artworks, the hushed whispers of bidders, and the air buzzing with anticipation. But most of all, I pictured myself standing alongside Alexander, as a lot of people bid on my art at a fair price.With the charity auction now a focal point of my day, my mind raced with ideas for the artwork I w
CHAPTER 77The hours passed in blissful solitude, my mind absorbed in the pages of the book, the words and pictures burning into my soul. But as the sun began its descent, casting a warm glow through the window, I heard the familiar sound of the room door opening. Alexander had returned home.He made his presence known with a gentle kiss on my forehead, his touch imbued with love and tenderness. I smiled up at him, basking in the warmth of his affection. The worries and stresses of the day seemed to melt away in his presence.I couldn't hold myself back and rushed to ask questions. "Alexander, why didn't you tell me we had been invited to an art charity auction event?""What Charity event?" He asked confused. "I found the invite in an envelope at the work table." I explained. A look of surprise crossed his face, followed by a sheepish expression. "Actually, I completely forgot to open it. It must still be downstairs."A mischievous glint shone in my eyes.
