Chapter 80Next, I gestured to the dove gracefully perched on an olive tree branch. "The dove represents peace, a universal symbol of harmony and tranquility. The olive tree branch signifies unity, reminding us of the importance of coming together to build a better world."As my gaze swept over the painting, I focused on the vibrant flowers blooming around the baby and dove. "The flowers represent beauty and perfection, reminding us to find joy in the simple things and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us."Finally, I traced my finger along the red thread that wove its way through the painting. "This red thread symbolizes world peace, connecting us all—every individual, every nation—in a shared destiny. It reminds us that our actions and choices have the power to shape a better future for generations to come."The room fell into a momentary silence as the audience absorbed the depth of my words, the emotions conveyed through my art. Then, applause erupt
Chapter 81He inserted his key card into the slot, and with a click, the door unlocked. We stepped into the living room, and I immediately walked towards the bed."I could use a bath," I admitted, exhaustion weighing heavily on my voice. The strain of the evening had taken its toll on me, and the thought of soaking in warm water was incredibly tempting.Alexander's eyes softened with concern. "Let me help you, Emma," he offered, his voice tender and sincere. "Why?" I asked in confusion.Well, what if you slip. I'm worry about you slipping and falling. You're carrying our child, after all."I blushed, feeling a mixture of shyness and amusement. "Alexander, I'm carrying a baby but I'm not the actual baby," I replied, my voice teasing. "Besides, the bathroom floor is anti-slip. I promise I'll be careful."He hesitated for a moment, his concern etched across his face. "I know, my love, but accidents can happen. Please, let me take care of you please Em."Unab
Chapter 82I couldn't resist and turned to look at him staring back at me with a smile on his beautiful, handsome face. The genuine smile on his face was both unique and captivating all at the same time.I gazed at his still wet hair and studied him with eyes glowing with desire. "Don't look at me like that." He warned. These days I have been more craving, whether it was food or sex. I had never come at him like that before, without shying away and I'm sure he wondered what exactly had changed."Are you tired?" I asked playing innocent as I hoped for an answer beneficial to me. "Yes." He said simply and I felt saddened. I nodded with a slightly disappointed smile which could be clearly seen in my eyes."Goodnight then." I forced myself to smile and then tucked myself under the sheets turning away from him. "Em..." "Sleep if you are tired. Hearing your voice in the dim light makes more difficult for me." I admitted cutting him off. I heard a slight chuc
CHAPTER 83I could feel it, his rod was still hard and standing firm inside of me. "Are you alright?" He asked lovingly and I nodded unable to speak. Alexander rolled me over so that I was laying on my back with him on top. He eyes seemed to study me for a while. I was still feeling all shaky but I tried my best to look alright. He caressed me slowly. "Tell me when you are ready to go again." He whispered grazing his fingers down my thighs. The feeling of his fingers trailing upwards sent my whole body ablaze once more. Reaching up I grabbed the back of his head and brought his lips down on mine while he tried his best to hold himself up a bit so as not to crush the baby with his weight. And after 3 more rounds, Alexander finally finished up and we zoomed off to Dreamland.I laid on bed fully awake, I needed to take a bath and eat breakfast as I was famished but I couldn't help but savor this moment. This peaceful moment with Alexander. There was so much of
CHAPTER 84As the plane touched down at JFK International Airport, a mixture of exhaustion and relief washed over me. The long journey seemed to have drained every ounce of energy from my body. Alexander, held my hand tightly through out the whole ride, providing the much-needed support as we made our way through the bustling airport.The past few days in Brooklyn was quite fruitful, we had spent time exploring the rich cultural heritage of the city. But now, all I wanted was the comfort of our home. It felt like forever and I had to admit, I already missed Maria and Olivia The mere thought of settling into our cozy bed brought a smile to my weary face.As we stepped out of the airport, a chauffeur awaited us with a sleek black car. Alexander helped me into the backseat, and the cool leather upholstery provided a welcome respite from the fatigue that had taken hold of me. The ride back to our mansion was a blur, with my mind drifting off to the memories w
Chapter 85"I know you're confused about why I decided we meet this way. Well I found some... Files. I want to know if there's anything suspicious going on in the company." I explained calmly. "Emma, I've been investigating the irregularities in the company's finances," Olivia began, her voice grave. "There's a possibility that we have a mole within the organization. Someone is manipulating the numbers, and Alexander seems oblivious to it all."So there's also the possibility of the numbers being manipulated and this all just being a weird misunderstanding "I found the discrepancies in the documents, Olivia. Something is definitely wrong. But why would someone do this? And how long has it been going on?"Olivia sighed, her brows furrowing in frustration. "I've been trying to find answers to those questions myself, Emma. It's been going on for months, maybe even longer. The motive remains unclear, but it's evident that someone within the company is siph
CHAPTER 86Fear and anger welled up inside of me. How was it possible that Alexander had been oblivious to the extent of the corruption within his own company? It was clear that he had been either deceived or was the mastermind behind it all.I had to take action, not only for the sake of our company but also to safeguard Alexander's reputation and the trust of our employees, artists and clients.With each discovery, my resolve grew stronger. I would have to speak with Alexander on this and present the evidence, urging him to take decisive action. If he still acts carefree about it then my doubts would be clarified that this was all happening to his command.But as the realization settled in, a seed of doubt gnawed at the back of my mind. What if Alexander was somehow involved? What if he was aware of the deception and had deliberately turned a blind eye? The thought sent shivers down my spine, and I pushed it aside, determined to give him the benefit of
CHAPTER 87Alexander, how could this be. My Alexander was involved in this? How could I have fallen so madly in love with such a person. Alexander is most definitely not the man I thought i knew. The documents, with their bold, ominous headers, bore the unmistakable marks of corruption and illegal activities. My hands shook as I picked up a photograph of Alexander shaking hands with a man I recognized from the news - a notorious mob boss. The sight of it sent a chill down my spine."Alexander," I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible, I had no idea what to think or do, the silence in the room made the air suffocating and I began hyperventilating like one who suffers from claustrophobia. My mind felt like a whirlwind of thoughts, each more horrifying than the last.For a moment, I considered leaving everything exactly as it was and pretending I had never found the room. But the truth was a bitter pill that had to be swallowed. I needed answers,no
