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 65She spoke and handed me a note with a few digits written on it. 'it must be his number' I thought calmly. "Well he also said to inform you that if you actually needed anything in the future he would be willing to help, but he doesn't want there to ever be a reason for both of you to cross paths again. I-im sorry miss, don't worry; you'll find some other guy that would care and love you" she tried to make me feel better but little did she know; I couldn't care less about those love crappy stuff. My whole world revolves around my art and art only. Well, as at then.I thanked her for the note and then shut the door behind me.And now here she is, before me once more. Andy Davenport, the hotel staff who had called Alexander. Olivia was right, she most definitely knew I was pregnant as she knew what went on between Alexander and I in the hotel that day, but then she was so kind hearted so how could she have done this. Her face was etched with worry. And
Chapter 66Olivia and I exchanged glances, a silent understanding passed between us. We had found the truth we had come all this way for.I felt a pang of sympathy for Andy, but Olivia wasn't as forgiving. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously as she challenged once more, "If you've been feeling so regretful, why didn't you come forward sooner?"Andy's gaze lowered to her shoes. "Mrs. Collins... she threatened me. She said she'd destroy me and my family if I ever double crossed her."I felt a twinge of sorrow for Andy, but Olivia was far from sympathetic. "And so you chose to destroy Emma's life instead?" she shot back at her, Olivia's voice dripping with disgust."Olivia!" I warned, but she ignored me, her anger now fully unleashed. Seems Olivia and Alexander both had the exact same kind of anger issues."I want you to tell Alexander everything, Andy. Today," Olivia demanded, her tone leaving no room for argument.Andy hesitated, her face a picture of fear. Oliv
Chapter 67I shook my head, I had lost my appetite to the uneasiness I felt. "No, thank you, Maria. I'll be fine for now."But then Maria's gaze shifted towards Andy, who was standing a few steps away, looking slightly uncomfortable. "And who might this be?" Maria asked, her voice filled with curiosity.I turned to Andy and realized that in the midst of my worries, I had forgotten to introduce her properly. "Oh, Maria, this is Andy. She's a guest for today. Could you please show her to the Guestroom? And afterward, she can have a meal before returning home to her mother and kids."Maria nodded and smiled warmly at Andy. "Of course, Miss Emma. Miss Andy Please follow me."As Andy and Maria walked away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Andy. Despite everything that had happened, she had shown remorse for her actions and had taken the initiative to rectify her mistakes by revealing the truth to Alexander. A few minutes later, Andy return
CHAPTER 68I listened to the gentle rhythm of his breathing as he drifted off to sleep. The silence in the room was deafening, each passing second filled with unspoken words. I turned trying hard to fight the urge to reach out, to bridge the gap that had formed between us, but fear and anger held me back.With a heavy heart, I let myself succumb to the exhaustion that weighed me down. Sleep finally embraced me, carrying me away from the pain and uncertainty that plagued me.The next morning brought a heavy atmosphere to the dining table . Alexander , sensing the tension , attempted to lighten the mood by cracking a few jokes, addressing both Olivia and me. "Wow, what's going on today. What happened to being all smiles in the morning? Did the gloomy God visit?" However, his efforts fell flat as neither of us responded with even a hint of a smile. Growing frustrated, Olivia broke the silence, her voice stern and cold. "Alexander, am going to ask you
CHAPTER 69As Alexander listened to my words, I saw a mixture of understanding and concern in his eyes. He took a deep breath, his voice filled with tenderness. "Emma, my love, I understand that you're scared and feeling unworthy. But please believe me when I say that these thoughts are not true. They're the product of the emotional rollercoaster caused by the pregnancy hormones. You are not a bad wife, and I have never seen you as anything less than perfect."His words resonated deep within me, slowly unraveling the tangled web of insecurities that had clouded my mind. I looked into Alexander's eyes, searching for any hint of deception once more, but found only sincerity and love."You mean that?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. "You truly believe that I'm the best wife in the world?"A small smile tugged at the corners of Alexander's lips as he took my trembling hands in his. "Emma, you are more than I ever dreamed of. I am the unworthy one in this r
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
