Chapter 102Emma's POV"Little one, please tell Mommy not to be too upset with Daddy. Daddy is just a bit busy with work right now. But I promise, if Mommy gives me a smile, I'll fulfill all her wishes for today."His words stirred a flicker of hope within me. Perhaps I could use these wishes to my advantage and uncover the truth today. A plan began to form in my mind, as I decided to go along with the flow.I managed a small smile, masking my true feelings and intentions. "Alright, Alexander. I'll give you a smile."His face lit up, a mixture of relief and affection shining in his eyes. "Thank you, Emma. I'll do everything I can to make you happy."We continued having our breakfast in a comfortable silence, each lost in our own thoughts. My mind, however, was consumed with the plan I had devised. Today would be the day I would have to trick him into giving me his password and then I can have access to his files once more.As Alexander and I were lost
Chapter 103Emma's POVChapter 8: Heartfelt Confessions"She reels suffocated by his memories and it's all coming back." I explained. It wasn't a lie, Olivia had told me about that when she arrived from the hospital, right before she got the call from Lance asking to meet up at the abandoned mansion."Oh... okay." Alexander responded. "Yes Sir Alexander, she needs space so she could clear up her thoughts but... she'll be fine, she is Olivia after all." Maria explained and Alexander nodded then continued with his meal.Once Alexander was done eating, he excused himself to go have a shower upstairs first and I let him go with a fake smile. I watched him leave, following his figure up the stairs with my eyes until he disappeared from my view then I waited a while longer until I heard the sound of the door close.Leaving the dining table behind, I made my way to the living room, hoping to find Olivia, I thought she would be seating on the couch trying to c
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
