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
Chapter 61He licked at my groin and it took all of me not to rock my body towards his skillful tongue.I swallowed hard as I anticipated the moment I so desperately needed and luckily I didn't have to wait for long. I watched him sniff in the air around that area and he looked like he had smelt the aroma of an extremely tasty meal. He gazed up at me, locking our eyes together while placing kisses on it.He slowly trailed his fingers along my sensitive area and soon, I felt him put a finger inside me. "Ah! Yes! Akex! Please!" I let out a loud moan and called his name. I had no idea I could sound so lewd. I watched him, as he got closer and closer to my private place while massaging my inner walls with his index finger. Soon I felt another finger enter me. "Ah!!! Ugh," I kept moaning louder and louder without a care in the world.I felt his breath fan me there increasing the pleasure I felt at the moment. Then he got down and gave my wet flower one long hard lick. "Ugh!!!! Yes! Yes!" H
CHAPTER 62Emma's povI woke up feeling sore all over my body, Alexander really wore me out last night. I dragged my tired body and wobbly legs into the shower, had my bathe and hauled out of the bathroom. I noticed Alexander was gone, probably to have breakfast.I went down to the dinning room and saw Maria had prepared a feast for breakfast and I wondered what the special occasion was. I gave Maria a questioning look and she in turn gestured at Olivia who was already looking at me with a mischievous glint in her eye."I thought you would be exhausted after last night's..... activities." she said with a wink which caused me to palm my face out of embarrassment. "So I had Maria prepare a feast for you. So you can regain your strengths. Please do have the soup, it helps with soreness." she continued and my already red face got even redder.I looked at Alexander who had a mischievous smirk plastered on his face the whole time and continued having his
CHAPTER 63I told her about my appointments and she rescheduled the plan to tomorrow. I went back into my room and got ready to meet the doctor.As soon as I was done meeting the doctor, I got a call from Natalie and Laila, they were both at the venue we had discussed meeting at before and they wanted to know where I was. I told them I was on my way and dropped the call before heading into the car.The designated driver, drove quickly to the 5-star restaurant where we had agreed to meet. I saw Natalie and Laila seating patiently at a corner. I smiled and walked up to them and they both stood up and gave me a hug. "Hey guys, it's been a while, how've you been? I've missed you guys so so much". I said as we sat down."It feels like it's been forever I've been okay, just that I missed you guys so much" Natalie said."Same here, life feels so dull without you guys in it" Laila said"Wait what do you guys mean? Haven't you both been living together?" I asked
Chapter 64The smell of lemons got rid of the urge to throw up and made that one problem not exist for me anymore."Wake up" Olivia said and pulled the pillow out of my face. Daylight rushed into my eyes forcing me to blink several times. I glared at her and pouted."Come on, let's get going, have your bathe, get dressed and have your breakfast so we can deal with this once and for all". I gave her a look and sighed knowing she was right and she was basically doing all this for me. Why am I being so ungrateful?I got up, had my bathe and got dressed with help from Olivia who insisted on picking my outfit as I had to put on a confident air around me when I speak to the staff. I went downstairs feeling quite tried already and began lazy eating but I had no appetite. It had to be the morning sickness. I knew I had to eat but once I took a bite of the pancakes Maria made, I felt like throwing up all of a sudden. If not for the lemon scented perfume, I would've
CHAPTER 130Emma's POV Just like the wind, the days cane and flew by. Before I knew it, it was Asher's birthday. I've been trying my best to convince Alexander and Olivia to at least reach out to their mother but neither of them were willing to give me a listening ear. Turned out fyn Mrs Collins was actually so wrong about both of them. At first Olivia would walk away from me at the mention of her mother but then after I had told her the story Mrs Collins had told me, I noticed that she had warmed up a bit.I could easily tell that for Olivia, all it took was a face to face apology from her mother and all will be okay. She is most definitely going to forgive. But Alexander.....He was a case study, I once had to bind him for him to be able to hear me out. I spoke about all the things Mrs Collins had told me and even explained just how much I feel for her as a mother that I am too. But Alexander always had a reply that undermines mine.There was no
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 wanted him to get married to a girl of my choice, someone I had thoroughly investigated and thought would be good for him. I knew it would be hard convincing him after all that happened with Olivia but I had
CHAPTER 128Emma's POV Mrs Collins nodded, her gaze filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Emma. Your words give me hope. 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." We weren't always so wealthy, you see, my parents weren't that poor, we were comfortab
CHAPTER 127Emma's POV A years later....A full year had flown by, and our little Asher had grown into a lively and mischievous toddler. On this particular day, Maria, Olivia, and I found ourselves engaged in a playful chase, trying to catch Asher and get him to put on his clothes. 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. I followed the gaze up, and shock washed over me like a ti
CHAPTER 126Emma's POV "This is for you, Emma. 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
CHAPTER 1253rd person POV Dr. Johnson offered a faint smile, touched by his devotion. "That's the spirit. Remember, miracles do happen, and we're going to fight with everything we have to give Olivia the best chance at recovery."As the doctor turned to leave, he paused and looked back at Alexander and James. "Take care of yourselves too. It's important to stay strong for her. I'll be back to update you as soon as there are any changes."With that, Dr. Johnson disappeared down the corridor, leaving Alexander and James alone with their thoughts and worries. "She'll be fine, am sure of it," Alexander whispered, his voice filled with determination. "She has to be. She's not leaving me this way."James squeezed his hand, his voice filled with hope. "She won't. This is the most cowardly way to die giving Olivia's personality."And so, with heavy hearts and unwavering love, Alexander and James prepared themselves for the long and uncertain hours ahead. Wit
CHAPTER 1243rd person POVA week before...After Olivia had gotten shot and passed out to the ground, James kept trying his best to wake her up, he was slapping lightly at her face as tears streamed down his cheeks. He had never looked or felt so vulnerable in his entire life.Meanwhile Lance was raging in anger as the policies had caught up to him and Alexander followed. He glared at Alexander like he wanted to chop him into pieces at that exact moment."Alexander! You fool! What do you think will happen to your company? Your fucking life work? Do you think just because you turned yourself in means you won't get punished? I will reveal it all! I will!." She yelled non stop but Alexander had his cool emotionless face on the whole time. Slowly he leaned into Lance."Do you really think I had no idea about these consequences? And don't forget, I also know the most darkest of your secrets. Do you remember that Andrew?" He said and pulled away.There was a
Chapter 123Olivia's POV Just as I was lost in my thoughts, the door suddenly swung open, and Alexander walked in, cradling a precious bundle in his arms. It was Asher, Emma and Alexander's baby. I watched as surprise flashed across his face when he noticed me sitting there. He looked overwhelmed, but there was something else in his eyes, something I couldn't quite place."Olivia?" Alexander's voice quivered with astonishment. " You're finally awake? Since when? What are you doing here?""Alexander" I called, standing up and taking a few steps toward him. "I... I wanted to see Emma. I've missed her so much."His gaze shifted from me to Emma, and that's when he saw the tear stains on her face. His eyes widened, and he hurriedly made his way to her side, gently passing Asher into my waiting arms."Emma, my love," Alexander whispered, his voice filled with longing and concern. "I've missed you more than words can express. Please, come back to me. I've made everything okay. I fixed it a
Chapter 122Olivia's POV After the examination, the doctor looked satisfied. "Everything looks good, Olivia. You've come a long way, and it's great to see you awake and well. We'll keep you for a little longer for observation, but if all goes well, you should be able to go home soon."I frleanedt so relieved to hear that. Home sounded like the best place to be right now, I didn't like the hospital smell or the food here.As the doctor left the room, I turned to James, gratitude shining in my eyes. "Thank you for being here, James. And thank you all for never giving up on me."James held my hand tightly, his voice filled with emotion. "Olivia, you scared me so much. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you."Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the impact my absence had on him. "I'm so sorry, James. I didn't mean to worry you."He shook his head, his voice filled with a mixture of relief and sadness. "It's not your fault, Olivia. Just promise me you'll take care of yourself from
