Chapter 104Emma's POV"I understand, Olivia. I'll give you the time you need, you can rest and calm down. Just know that I love you, and I'll be here when you're ready."As Alexander walked away, Olivia leaned on me, seeking the support she needed in that moment. And then we were just about to go upstairs when Maria yelled at us to stop moving."No no Emma! Olivia! Stop!" Alexander also stopped and turned around. We all looked towards Maria. She quickly approached us and pulled Olivia away from me in anger. I wondered what exactly was going on and why she seemed so upset."Olivia what are you doing? You know Emma is heavily pregnant and she finds it really hard to come down the stairs because of how heavy her belly is and now she is going back up which will double the discomfort due to gravity and you want to triple it huh." I understood Maria. I had already thought about this and the first step we took was hard on me but I hid my discomfort from Ol
Chapter 105Emma's POV She approached me gently, placing a hand on my shoulder and crouching down to meet me. "Emma, please don't say that. Don't blame yourself. I'll do everything I can to ensure the best possible outcome. Olivia is here and so am I."I looked up at Maria, her tear-stained face. I couldn't hold back the flood of tears any longer. I know Maria was just trying to console me but the lies doesn't make me feel better, I failed to protect my baby and now both our lives are at stake. Olivia, understanding my pain, knelt down beside me and wrapped her arms around me, holding me tightly."It's my fault," I choked out through my tears. "I didn't take care of my baby properly."Olivia's voice trembled with emotion as she held me close. "No, Emma, it's not your fault. You've been doing everything you can. Please don't blame yourself."Maria, feeling responsible for my well-being, joined us and spoke softly, her voice filled with remorse. "I'm so
Chapter 1063rd person POV"I... I didn't realize," Alexander managed to say, his voice choked with emotion. "I never meant to make her feel alone. I thought... I thought I was doing enough by providing for her, by taking care of the practicalities."Maria's anger began to dissipate, replaced by a mixture of empathy and understanding. She reached out to touch Alexander's arm gently. "Sometimes, it's not just about the practicalities. Emma needs your emotional support, your presence by her side. She needs to know she's not alone at all but all you both have been doing is making her worry more than she should be."As the weight of his mistakes sank in, Alexander's shoulders slumped, and he let out a deep sigh. "You're right, Maria. I've been so focused on work and depressing matters that I neglected what truly matters. I need to be there for her, not just physically, but emotionally as well. I need to be the partner she deserves."Maria nodded, her own
Chapter 1073rd person POVShe said sarcastically waiting for him to deny but what he said next shocked her. "Girlfriend? What are you?-.... oh you mean Tiffany." He exclaimed."Tiffany? So there is a girlfriend? .... Jerk!" Olivia hit him hard on the chest in anger earning loud annoying chuckle from him."Calm down Olivia. Tiffany is my childhood, and I have no idea why she likes telling people she's my girlfriend okay. But she isn't okay. I promise you, on my life. I could show you proof." He urged. "Okay okay. I believe you, it's so unlikely you have a girlfriend anyways. If you did then the rest of the staffs would have made fun of you for it." I reasoned out."Then if you already knew that, why do you still suspect me?" He asked. "I... I was just upset at the time. And I guess I needed a bit of clarification to clear all doubts." I mumbled the last part out."Where you jealous?" He suddenly ask. "Of course not" I refused and he hummed sarcastic
CHAPTER 108Emma's POVTears welled up in my eyes as I managed to whisper through the overwhelming emotions, "Yes, Alex. Yes, I'll marry you." He rose from his kneeling position, a radiant smile lighting up his face as he swept me into his arms.We embraced tightly, our hearts overflowing with joy and love. I could feel his lips press against mine, a gentle and passionate kiss filled with the promise. The world around us seemed to fade away as we held each other, relishing in the moment.As the evening progressed, we enjoyed the rest of our romantic dinner date under the starlit sky. We shared stories, laughter, and dreams for the future of our little baby. I couldn't help stealing glances at the beautiful ring on my finger, it just looked so beautiful and inrisistable Eventually, we made our way back to our room, our hearts still brimming with the magic of the evening. Alexander's touch was gentle and tender as he helped me settle into bed. He whispered
Chapter 109Emma's POVThere was no one to help me, no rescuer in sight.Just when I thought all hope was lost, I looked up through the murky depths and saw a faint figure. It was the little boy, his hand was stretched towards me. Hope surged within me, and I swam towards him with all the strength I had left. "Hold on, little boy! I'm coming!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the water.But as I reached out to grab his hand, I saw the most horrific sight I had ever seen in my life, the child's features twisted and contorted, and he transformed into a grotesque blob of blood and flesh. Horror swept over me as I realized that he had suddenly died now. No no noI screamed in terror, the sound muffled by the water that surrounded me as his body that was all blood now had began entering the water and mixing up with his. Panic surged through every fiber of my being as I felt a searing pain across my body. I looked down and saw blood streaming from countl
Chapter 110Olivia's POVI woke up looking at James sleeping body, he looked bad but at least he was getting better, his breathing was steady and his lips quaked occasionally, I looked at his lips when he opened his eyes."Good morning" I said with a blush as I felt my cheeks burn red with embarrassment."Good morning, how are you?" He asked me as he tried to sit up. I helped him up and said "I'm fine, how was your night?" "It's was fine". He said as he laid his back on the wall with his eyes closed. "I'll go get breakfast" I said using the opportunity as an escape.I walked out of the room and looked left and right before closing the door then I hurried down to the kitchen and asked Maria if Alexandra was around which she denied to my relief.I asked her to prepare some food for me because I was very hungry but as I listed all I wanted, she gave me a look as if wondering if I would be able to eat the food all alone and I just smiled.I decided to take
Chapter 111Olivia's POV "Olivia, I can explain, you have to trust me, I didn't know he planned to harm you or James or anything of the sort". He said with a pleading tone."That doesn't change the fact that you're in cohorts with a man that put me into coma for years" I said and heard him sigh."Olivia I-" he tried to speak . "Just leave" I cut him off with my back against the door. He stayed for a few seconds before I heard him walk away. I breathed a sigh of relief before I went to open the wardrobe for James."You really need to talk to him. He'll understand" he said. "I'll tell him when I feel that the time is right". I said with finalty"And when will that be?" He asked me and I stared into his eyes and said. "When I know he can be trusted."James kept quiet and we ate in silence. I felt bad for snapping at him like that but I was doing it for his safety. I still hadn't figured out how that mysterious man was able to sneak into the mansion and
