THE UNVEILED CONTRACT chapter 71
Alexandra’s POVAs we sit to continue our dinner, my phone beeps with a text from Adrian just checking up on me. I guess Emily and Laura had not reported today's incident. I reply with a text saying, “I am fine, I guess.”Katrine could not get the smile off her face. “You are even more excited than I am,” I told her.Oh, Alex,” she begins. “I am so excited; you are going to be an amazing mother,” she says again.“You think?” I ask keenly.“Yes, you will, and I am going to be right here by your side every step of the way,” she says while holding my hands and giving them a gentle squeeze. My eyes were tearing up again; the love and warmth radiating from Katrine were exactly what I needed. We soon forget about our meal as we begin a discussion of nurseries and baby names, our laughter echoing off the walls.As the day begins to darken and dinner slowly comes to an end, Katrine rises from her chair, her eyes sparkling with joy.“This calls for celebration,” she says, reaching for the bott
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT chapter 72
Adrian’s POVSeeing her weep like a baby pierced my heart. I blame myself for everything. I blame myself for everything that happened: the death of Katrina, the tears of Alexandra. If only I had dealt with Penelope Castle, this would not be happening, and Katrina would still be alive. Ever since I fell in love with Alexandra, I have gotten soft. This was not the Adrian Sinclair the world knew. I really wanted to bury that brutal man in me, but I guess that would just have to wait because I can't let any harm come to Alexandra, especially now that she is carrying my child. As I lay in bed with my eyes closed, I was not asleep. I was thinking of an easy yet brutal way of making Penelope pay for all the havoc and chaos she has caused. I could feel Alexandra's tender and warm hand caressing my arm.“My love, are you okay?” I asked, and I could see her eyes filled with tears as she met my gaze. I knew she had a nightmare.“It was just a nightmare, Adrian,” she whispers with a trembling voic
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT chapter 73
ADRIAN'S POVI walk upstairs, and I meet Emily and Laura at the bedroom door, just as I had instructed them."You can wait in the living room," I tell them.I walk into the room to have a shower, and as I look across the room, I see Alex sitting on the edge of our bed with her brows furrowed. She held a black dress in her hand.I placed a kiss on her forehead. She looks at me and gives me a dry and sad smile. Then she looks back at the gown again, caressing it."Katrina gave me this dress as a gift, and now I am wearing it for her wake," she says bitterly, gently placing my hands on her shoulder.“Alex, I can only imagine how hard this must be for you. I want you to know that I am here for you no matter what,” I say softly, trying to assure her.“Thank you, my love,” she whispers, her voice filled with sadness.“I need to shower; I will be back,” I tell her as I head to the bathroom.Stepping into the bathroom, I flick on the lights, illuminating the space with a soft, calming glow.

THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 74
Narrator's POVThe soft rays of morning sunlight kissed the room as Alexandra slowly blinked her eyes. She reached out to the side, expecting to find the warmth and comfort of her husband's body next to her. Instead, her fingers grazed the cool, empty sheets. Confusion quickly turned to panic as she sat up, searching for any sign of him.Her heart raced as she called out his name, but the only response was the echo of her own voice. The once familiar bedroom seemed foreign and empty, making her feel small and vulnerable. Thoughts raced through her mind, leaving questions unanswered.Had he left her? Was he in danger? Or worse, had something happened to him? Has Penelope taken him just as she took Katrina away from her?The possibilities suffocated her. Alex's trembling hands clutch the covers tightly as tears well up in her eyes. She knew she had to find answers to unravel the mystery that shrouded her once-perfect life.With determination fueling her every step, Alex pushes back the
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT chapter 75
Alexandra's POVAs I left the hospital, the throbbing dullness that had settled over my day begged for some much-needed excitement. As I sit in the car, the plush leather upholstery cradling me softly, I contemplate my options. Should I head home, continue with the same routine, go to the office, or spice up my day by venturing into the lively domain of the mall? It was a simple decision, really.With an imperceptible nod, I made up my mind. Today, I would be the opportunist, the adventurer, and the lady who sought out diversion in unconventional places. The mall called to me, a siren's song promising a feast for the senses, a departure from the ordinary. With Penelope gone, I felt safe, my inner spirit silently thanking anyone who ever kidnapped her.Stepping out of the vehicle, the warm sunlight caresses my skin, energizing me with a newfound vigor. I became fully aware of the curious and envious gazes that followed my every graceful move. The crowd parted, giving way to the entoura
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 76
Adrian's POVI see her rummaging through the closet as I enter, wondering what she is looking for. My heart starts to race as I do not want her to find the handkerchief I hid in the closet and forgot to dispose of after leaving the hideout. She probably knows I was standing behind her as she turns slowly with the bloody handkerchief in her hands and fear written all over her face."Adrian, what is this?" she demanded, holding out the handkerchief.My face turns pale, and I stammer, "I... I do not know. Maybe it's from when I cut myself shaving."Alex raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. "You know I am not stupid, Michael. Shaving cuts do not produce this much blood."I hesitate for a moment before saying, "I accidentally cut myself with a kitchen knife while making dinner the other night. I did not want to worry you, so I took care of it myself."She felt a small dose of relief wash over her, but she couldn't shake the unease that still lingered. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asks."I did
THE UNVEILED CONTRACT Chapter 77
Alexandra's POVI slowly opened my eyes, the piercing sunlight filtering through the curtains only adding to the pounding headache that had plagued me all morning. Tossing and turning in bed, I try to shake off the feeling of discomfort that seems to have penetrated every inch of my body. But as I moved to sit up, an intense wave of nausea hit me with force, forcing me back down onto the plush mattress.Morning sickness. The term seemed so trivial compared to reality and the torment it brought. Every morning since discovering I was pregnant, it had become a ritual—this dance with nausea that left me drained and helpless. Yet, despite the pain, I couldn't help but feel a spark of joy at the thought of the tiny life growing within me.I hear the soft sound of the bedroom door creaking open, and I turn my head to face Adrian, whose face is full of worry.Adrian hurried to my side, his eyes filled with a mix of concern and fear. "Are you alright, my love? What can I do?"I opened my mouth

She was going to have lunch with her father.The car pulls up to the entrance of the five-star restaurant, and Alex takes a step out. As soon as she entered the restaurant, she immediately sighted her father sitting at the far end of the room, his hair neatly combed as usual. He adjusted his well-tailored suit, hugging his form with elegance. As he looks up, his eyes meet Alexandra’s.Alexandra,” he says, “I am glad you could make it.” He says it again while hugging her and giving her a kiss on the cheek.“Hi dad,” she replies while returning the hug, her tone composed yet with a touch of vulnerability.He nods, gesturing for her to take a seat opposite him. As they settle into their chairs, a waiter pours water into their glasses, offering them menus with a smile.“How have you bee

We have to do everything we can to bring our baby home."Adrian, determined to do whatever it took to ensure his child's safe return, paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly, his phone buzzed with an incoming call.With apprehension etched on his face, Adrian answered the call. The voice on the other end was cold and demanding; it was no other person than their sworn enemy, Penelope Castle.Adrian, listen carefully. If you ever want to see your baby again, you will bring fifty million dollars to the abandoned warehouse by midnight tomorrow."Adrian clenched his jaw, his eyes flashing with determination.

Her tiny fingers wrapped around one of his, and their connection was instantaneous. The weight of the world seemed to disappear as he held her close, her soft breaths becoming a melody in his ears.As he looked down at her tiny face, a smile beamed across Adrian's face. He marveled at her delicately soft skin and the faint tufts of hair that crowned her head. The room seemed to hold its breath, awestruck by the purity and innocence of the moment."You are my little princess, Ava," Adrian whispered, his voice filled with awe and unconditional love.

Narrator's POVThe room was dimly lit, with only a small lamp providing some light in the corner. 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. The doctor and his assistants were hurrying around the room, checking machines, and preparing for the delivery.As the contractions intensified, Alex's grip on Adrian's han

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. "I'm going to Italy to have the baby, and, Mom, I really want you to come with me. Will you be there?"A wave of relief washed over me as I held the full glass of water in my hands.

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

Narrator's POVAlexandra walked down the stairs, clad in a silk robe, and felt a pleasant sense of calm after a good and long sleep as soon as she got back from the hospital.As she made her way to the kitchen, she noticed something out of the ordinary—unknown bodyguards stationed strategically at every corner of the house. Her curiosity raised, she approached her personal bodyguard, Emily, who stood by the entrance of the kitchen."Emily, what is happening? Why are there so many guards here today?" She asked, her eyes scanning the room, searching for answers.Emily, with a serious expression, looked at her with a mixture of concern and reassurance. "Mrs. Sinclair, it is your husband's orders. He wants to ensure your safety and the security of this place."Alex's heart skips a beat; she had never seen so many guards in their home at once.

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?
