Layla's POVMy face broke into a smile as I stepped into the room I had decorated for my baby. Trailing my hands on the furniture and bed. โThe baby isn't even here yet.โ Alexander said, smiling at the door. I turned to him, my hands folded. โI know, but it's best if we start preparing now.โ I giggled.He stepped in, โwait, how are you so sure it's a boy you would have as the first child?โโI'm super sure. It has been my prayer since I was a little girl.โ I smiled.โBut I want a girl child.โ He pouted.โNo, Alex. We are going to have a boy. Donโt jinx it!โ I said with a playful grin, my eyes sparkling with excitement.โThatโs not fair. Donโt you think you should also prepare a room for a girl?โ Alex asked, raising an eyebrow in mock protest. โWe should prepare for both.โโHmm, I will.โ I held his hands and we went downstairs for dinner.โWhat are we having for today?โ Alex asked the butler.โChicken Parmesan, sir.โ The butler bowed slowly.โOkay,โ he nodded.

Alexander's POVWith renewed hope, we embarked on the journey.We made love that night, with the faith that things would turn out well, but it didn't.We tried, and tried, but each month brought disappointment.I began to worry, doubts creeping in.โMaybe we're not meant to be parents,โ Layla said, her voice trembling.I wrapped my arms around her.โDon't say that,โ I whispered. โWe'll get there.โI pulled out my phone, scrolling through the fertility app."Let's try a different approach,โ I suggested.We adjusted our timing, incorporating healthier habits.Layla focused on self-care, stress reduction, and positive affirmations.Layla seemed to take all this seriously and I decided to give her all the support she needs as her husband.I supported Layla, attending yoga classes together.Our bond strengthened, love deepening with each passing day.One evening, as we strolled through the park, I turned to Layla.โI love you, no matter what,โ I said.Tears filled her eyes. โI love you to

Layla's POVAlex gazed at me. I nodded. โGo get a surrogate, Alex. You don't even have to wait till the end of the year.โโYou can't be serious, Layla. How will a woman tell her husband to go get another woman pregnant?โ he asked.I turned to him, my expression serious. โIf the woman can't fulfill her duties then I see no reason why she shouldn't agree.โ Alex moved closer to me, placing his hands on my shoulders. โIt's not your fault, Layla. Don't see yourself as that. You have always been with me through difficult times, I can't look away from that.โTears clouded my eyes. โIt's my fault, Alex. We have done numerous tests. We've gone through several procedures, but none of them worked. If getting a surrogate is what will work then get one.โAlex scoffed. โSo you're telling me, you don't see anything wrong in caring for someone else's child.โTears streamed down my face. It felt as though my heart was being pricked with a blade. โHmm,โ I nodded. โAs long as it's your child, Alex.โA

Alexander's POVโSeriously, grandma?โ I hissed upon sighting the banner on the shop. โDon't tell me this is where we are going?.โ I asked, pointing my hand towards the small shop that stood alone, surrounded by bushes and grasses.โYes, my dear. This is the place.โ My grandmother nodded, smiling.Layla's jaw dropped.I turned back to enter the car. โYou have no choice, Alex. Unless you want me to throw your wife out by the end of the year.โ She threatened.โShit!โ I kicked the car, hurting my foot. โOuch,โ I winced.โSorry, dear.โ Layla said, patting my back.โBut Emilia, we are public figures. What if someone takes our pictures and posts them online.โ Layla voiced.โYeah, fair point.โ I supported.โDon't worry.โ She opened her bag and brought out face caps and nose masks. โHere,โ she handed it over to us.โWeird,โ I said, my voice barely above a whisper. No wonder her bag appeared bigger than usual. Who could have thought?We had no choice but to enter the shop with her. โGood day, m

Layla's POVโIs that a joke?โ I asked, wondering if my ears were playing tricks on me.โYou heard me right baby girl.โ Emilia said, munching on her vegetables.โWho does that?!โ Alex slammed.โMe,โ Emilia said nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders.Oh God. This is going to be hell.โI'm sorry, but grandma you can't stay here. I will lodge you in a hotel that's close to this place.โ Alex said, picking out his phone.โDon't bother calling your manager. Kick me out and the whole world will hear how the Almighty Alexander King kicked his grandmother out in the cold, and scary night.โ Emilia said, her voice cold but domineering.I touched Alex's hand. โDon't bother.โI stood up from the dining table. โLayla!โ Emilia called, but I left the dining hall. โThat's rude of you.โ She thundered, but I was already gone. Alex stood up and followed after me. In the room, I paced around. Panic rising within me. Emilia's presence in this place means hell. She would make sure I regret crossing paths w

Alexander's POVWho could have thought that my grandmother would become a ritualist over the night.I sighed as I watched Layla write down her desires and put them in the jar.My grandmother smiled. โGood job, darling.โLqyla rolled her eyes. She had already been through a lot since the past few days.Anytime my grandmother comes in the morning to wake her up, I would pretend to be asleep with my eyes slightly opened.It was fun watching them engage in those stuff though.โGrandmother,โ I called. โAfter the stress you've put my wife through, if she doesn't get pregnant before the year runs out, I will have you arrested.โโOh, don't bother dear. It will work. Trust the universe.โ She said, her voice firm as one who has seen the future. โBut you both have your parts to play. Get her pregnant!โ She hit my head. โDo your duties every night.โโWhat?!โ Layla exclaimed. โEvery night? I might even die at this rate before the child comes.โI laughed. โI won't be too hard on you.โ I said. Layla

Grandma, you're amazing!โ Alexander exclaimed, kissing Emilia's cheek.I rolled my eyes at him. โFoodie,โ I muttered. You could win his heart with a dish.Emilia beamed, her eyes shining. โI wanted to surprise you, my lovelies.โThis tender side of Emilia was unsettling. The woman who once tormented me with fertility rituals and saying I wasn't fit to be her grandsonโs wife now radiated warmth.โEmilia, what's behind this sudden change?โ I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.Emilia winked. โPerhaps I've softened with age.โAlexander chuckled. โOr perhaps you're manipulating us with food.โEmilia playfully hit Alexander's hand. โSilence, boy! Who wants a taste of my sumptuous delicacies?โAlexander's eyes sparkled. What is wrong with this man?As we savored each bite, laughter and conversation flowed. For the firs

I don't have much time left.โLayla's grip on my hand tightened. โWhat do you mean, Emilia?โ She whispered.My grandmother's voice trembled. โI have blood cancer. The doctor says...it's advanced.โMy world crumbled. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. โNo, Grandma. That's not possible,โ I denied, desperation creeping in.My grandmother nodded slowly. โI've known for months. I wanted to ensure your future, Alexander, beforeโฆโTears streamed down Layla's face. โWhy didn't you tell us?โMy grandmother's frail smile broke my heart. โI didn't want to burden you. You both deserved happiness.โI called the family doctor, Dr. Thompson, one of the world's best and his confirmation shattered my hopes.โMr Alexander, I'm afraid it's true. Mrs King's cancer is terminal. Time is short,โ Dr. Thompson said over the phone.I felt numb.

I stopped pacing and took a deep breath. No, Alexander wouldn't think that. There must be more to it.I walked over to the bed and sat down, my mind racing. What could this illness be? Is it contagious? Is that why he's keeping it a secret?Just as I was lost in thought, I heard a faint noise coming from Alexander's room. I got up and walked towards the door, listening closely. It sounded like...shattering glass?My heart skipped a beat. I quickly opened the door and rushed to Alexander's room. โAlexander!โ I exclaimed.He was sitting on the bed, his hand bleeding profusely.
