Alexandra’s POVEver wondered what it felt like to be forcibly stripped naked and bare? To have someone destroy all the walls you had spent years building? The unavoidable feeling of being seen?Well. I have.Knowing that Adrian was now aware of my past A part of my past I didn’t want anyone to know about. Why? Why did I not want anyone to find out about it? Because I believed they would use that information against me. Why? Why would it be a problem if I constantly claimed that I did nothing wrong?It was because I did, but I always tried to avoid it. Forget it. I did not believe or want it to be my fault. The fact that I had left behind Lucian A room filled with predators, and I abandoned him there. I could have done something, anything, even if it meant revealing my identity. But I didn’t.I was a coward. One that sacrificed someone else just to save herself. A coward who could not defend herself.And the guilt had lived with me for years. Taking deep roots inside of me—so deep, I

Her family was one of the major reasons that our relationship wasn’t so good. Their manipulative words created a rift between Alexandra and me.If Alexandra hadn’t mentioned it, I just might have. Not explicitly. I knew Alexandra well enough to know that she wouldn’t listen to me if I told her to cut ties with her family.I was changing. Or, at least, my feelings were. I had a strong urge to monopolize her. The deep thought of possession: A possessive husband seeks control. I wanted to manipulate her into doing the things I wanted. I didn’t want to take her feelings into consideration because if I tried to, she could very well lie about them. Maybe because I felt insecure. Our relationship seemed to be built on lies and manipulation. A very rocky foundation. One that could collapse after the building was done, and the outcome would be too devastating.I think t

Alexandra’s POVI had always thought that Katrina had some sort of superpower, but now I was 100% sure that she had powers.Why such a thought? Because of how fast she ran through the door, past Adrian, and landed on my bed, I would believe her if she told me she was a descendant of the Flash.Look! Even Adrian had a shocked expression.Oh, my baby, you finally decided to wake up, huh? And you didn’t call me? How is your body? Heavy? I’ll massage it for you, okay? I shall treat you better from now on, okay? So do not ever scare me like that again. Do you know how long I waited for you?

It took a while for Alexandra to understand that she couldn’t use her feelings to hold Katrina back. Katrina needed space to spread her wings. She was a free-spirited girl.

Alexandra’s POVMy back hurts. Like a bitch. A dirty, bad one.OuchI flinched once more when my back roughly brushed against the seat’s backrest.It itched as well.Adrian and I had left the Hospital 30 minutes ago, and within that time, my painkillers had worn off. I didn’t mention it to Adrian. My medicine was in a different car with the personal nurse Adrian hired. I did not want to bother him, so I tried to hold it in.I underestimated how painful it would be.Especially when my back made contact with the seat rest. I tried to scoot away from it and lean forward, but it would be too weird if I did that. Adrian was beside me. I was scared he would notice my discomfort.The car was comfortable. Or rather, I would have enjoyed it more if my back wasn’t slashed. The car model once again reminded me of how wealthy the man I was married to was.It was a Range Rover SV. A car worth a fortune And Adrian had us stay in one car with a driver, and there were two other cars, one in front of

Alexandra’s POVBlood rushed to my cheeks.Adrian smirked at me.I had responded too fast, and I knew it.My brain was still transfixed by the beautiful view from this place. It was perfectly angled, so I could see the sunset and sunrise. His question caught me off guard.He was going to tease me now. I could feel it.“You responded immediately; I’m surprised. I thought it would take longer to convince you, but you seem to have wanted this as well; maybe I should have said this earlier, hmm, love?” He teased me. His finger was coming up to boop my nose.I blushed and glared at him.“Die.” I threatened, but he just chuckled in response.My heart rate went up.This man was going to kill me.“You’re adorable.” He commented. I ignored him and moved away.After this interaction, I looked around the room to distract myself from the frantic beating of my heart.Apart from the beautiful sun-set and sun-rise views from the translucent wall, the room was lovely.

Alexandra’s POVIf there was one conversation I didn’t want to have with Adrian, it was this one.I didn’t want to talk to him about it.Penelope.I had too much drama attached to that name. For some time, it was mine. How terrific.I suddenly remembered how Adrian had gotten his information. Adrian knew a lot of things about me.I wondered how he could still talk about developing feelings after knowing all of that.“How much do you know?" I decided not to test the waters.“Everything, you know, and maybe more.” He told me, and my heart dropped.I frowned.“Its okay. Remember what I told you before? I will not judge you for what happened in the past. Remember that Penelope was using you and everyone around you to get her revenge? The main target of it is done, but she still remains adamant on this, and I will not let her have her way. Not again. Know this, and never forget that I am on your side,” He declared. I saw something flicker in his eyes. It was gone before I could register wh

The sound of medical equipment beeping could be heard faintly in the background, and the scent of disinfectant hung in the air. In the center of the room was a hospital bed with stirrups on either side.Lying on the bed, in the grip of labor pains, was Alexandra. Her long hair was plastered to her forehead with sweat, and her eyes were squeezed tightly.Her husband, Adrian, stood beside her, holding her hand tightly and whispering words of encouragement. Sweat trickled down her forehead, her hands tightly clasping her husband's, seeking comfort and support."You're doing great, my love," he said, watching her struggle through another contraction.Alex let out a groan, and her body tensed as the pain surged through her.

Adrian's POVAs I made my way to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water for Alexandra, I couldn't shake off the worry that had clouded my mind. She had been feeling dizzy earlier, and I hoped that a simple glass of water would provide her some relief. As I entered the kitchen, I noticed that Alexandra was talking intimately with her mother in the living room. I couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation as I filled the glass with water."I've made a decision, Mom. Alexandra's voice reached my ears, somewhat muffled from the distance.

THE UNVEILED CONTRACT CHAPTER 86
Alexandra’s POVI had always known Adrian was not a saint, but I did not expect him to be deep in this sh*t, which was quite scary. I know he only kidnapped Penelope for my sake, but I did not approve. I did not sign up for all this violent shit, and now Penelope wants to have her revenge. After what she did to Katrina, she should have just accepted what Adrian did to her as karma. I hated Penelope with all of my heart, but I could not bring myself to wish her death. If she was going to be a threat to my child, then I would probably kill her myself.Consumed in my thoughts, I heard the familiar sound of my phone ringing on the other end. I picked it up to check on the caller, and it turned out to be my mom. Wondering why she was calling when it was really late, I hesitated no further as I picked up the phone.I reached for my phone and saw my mother’s name displayed on the screen. Confusion and concern filled my heart as I hastily answered the call. “Mom? What is wrong?” I asked, my v

As I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, guilt washed over me.Was it the right thing to do? …. Did I add unnecessary worry and stress to an already difficult situation?
