After constantly telling me that we would never be able to get a divorce, his current words were a contrast.My parents wanted me to come home.

Alexandra POVMy father had lost the election.The election that my father had spent a fortune preparing forThe election that occupied his mind was an engagement that took up all his time.The election that gave him so much confidenceAnd as I had recently discovered, it was also one of the reasons he decided to sell me off to the Sinclairs; he wanted, no, he needed their support.I had heard that his ratings were pretty good before the election. Who knows what has happened? When the results came in, he had lost to his competitor. And not by a small gap.I wondered what could have happened.

Narrator’s POV“I’m planning to visit Lucian tomorrow.”Adrian visibly froze when he heard Alexandra’s words.“No, you will do no such thing.” Adrian replied sharply.Alexandra frowned. Her change in expression forced Adrian to change his tone and rephrase himself.“What I mean is, you cannot go out for now. It is not safe yet.”“But I went out with you to see my parents.”“That is different. You were with me and my bodyguards. You were safe.” Adrian tried to reason with her. He didn’t see any reason for her to visit Lucian. He hated the idea of her meeting with another man, especially one she had previously been involved with in some way.“Then you can give me bodyguards as well. Give me as many of them as you want. I am tired of being cooped up in this house.

Alexandra POVStill busy in the kitchen, we both enjoyed our time doing what we were doing and chit-chatting in between. There were times we sang and even poured water on each other. Adrian likes salad, so he decided to prepare vegetable salad and fruit salad for dessert."Tell me something," I tease him."Tell you what?" He asked"Well, are we just feeding on salad tonight?""Don't exaggerate it. There is pasta to eat along with the vegetable salad.

The sound of medical equipment beeping could be heard faintly in the background, and the scent of disinfectant hung in the air.

She had been feeling dizzy earlier, and I hoped that a simple glass of water would provide her some relief.

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.
