As Alexander walked into the foyer of his luxurious home, he was greeted by the familiar face of Mrs. Jenkins, his trusted housekeeper for over a decade."Welcome back, Mr. Alexander," she said with a warm smile."Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins," Alexander replied, taking off his coat and hanging it on the nearby rack."Is there anything I can get for you, sir?" Mrs. Jenkins asked, her tone polite and professional."I'm fine, thank you," Alexander said, walking towards the living room. "Is Celine up yet?""Yes, sir. She's in the garden, enjoying the sunshine," Mrs. Jenkins replied, following him."Good. I'll go check on her," Alexander said, making his way towards the back of the house.As he walked through the beautifully manicured garden, he spotted Celine sitting on a bench, reading a book. Her long hair cascaded down her back, and she looked up as he approached."Hey," he said, smiling at her."Hi," she replied, closing her book and standing up."How was your day?" Alexander asked, takin
Alexander POVAlexander took out his phone from his pocket and dialled his mother's number. After a few rings, she answered the phone."Alexander, my son. How are you?" his mother said, her voice full of warmth and affection."I'm good, Mom. Listen, I have something important to tell you," Alexander said, his voice serious."What is it? Is everything okay?" his mother asked, concerned."I'm coming to visit you this weekend. And I'm bringing someone with me," Alexander said."Who is it? Do I know her?" his mother asked."No, you don't know her. Her name is Celine, and she's pregnant with my child," Alexander said, bracing himself for his mother's reaction."What? Pregnant? Alexander, what are you saying?" his mother exclaimed."It's true, Mom. I know it's a shock, but I want you to meet her and get to know her. She's important to me," Alexander said, trying to calm his mother down.There was a long pause on the other end of the line, and Alexander could hear his mother taking deep brea
As dinner ended, Alexander turned to his sister, Lily, and asked her to show Celine to her room. His mother, who had been eyeing the two of them throughout the meal, looked surprised."Oh, you're not sleeping together?" she asked.Alexander shook his head. "No, Mother, we're not.""Well, that's a shame," she said, looking at Celine with a smile. "I may not agree with how you and my son met, but I can see how much he cares for you and our grandchild," she said, surprising Celine with her sudden warmth. "Just know that you are always welcome here."You're such a lovely girl, and I can see how much my son cares for you. I'd love to see the two of you get married."Celine was moved by the unexpected kindness from Alexander's mother and felt a newfound sense of acceptance in the family. Celine blushed, feeling both flattered and uncomfortable at the same time. She wasn't sure how to respond to Alexander's mother's words, but she knew that she liked the woman's warmth and kindness.Lily, on
At breakfast, they were greeted warmly by Alexander's mother and sister, who seemed genuinely happy to have them there. Celine couldn't help but feel a little nervous as they ate, wondering if they had discussed her and Alexander's relationship the night before.But to her relief, the conversation was light and friendly, with Alexander's mother and sister asking about her interests and hobbies. They even joked about Alexander's tendency to work too hard and not take enough time for himself.As breakfast came to an end, Alexander's mother turned to him and said, "Alexander, Celine and Lily let us take a walk around the estate. It's a beautiful day outside, and I'm sure you could use the fresh air."Alexander looked at Celine and then back at his mother. "That sounds like a great idea, Mother. Thank you."Celine felt a flutter in her stomach at the thought of spending the day alone with Alexander, exploring the beautiful estate. As they walked hand in hand, Alexander showed her around
Alexander grinned at her compliment. "Well, I have a good teacher," he said, referring to his mother.Celine chuckled and shook her head. "I can't believe your mother made you do this.""She's just looking out for you, Celine," Alexander said, leaning down to kiss her neck. "Besides, I don't mind doing it. I like taking care of you."Celine's heart skipped a beat at his words. She had never met someone as caring and thoughtful as Alexander. As he continued to massage her, she felt herself slowly drifting off to sleep.Eventually, Alexander finished the massage and helped Celine get dressed for bed. He then tucked her in and lay down beside her, wrapping his arms around her protectively. As they drifted off to sleep, Celine couldn't help but feel grateful for the man lying beside her.The next morning, Alexander and Celine had packed their bags and were ready to return to Alexander's mansion. Mrs. Jameson and Lily had prepared a hearty breakfast for them, and they all sat down to eat t
Celine smiled. "You're right. I already love him so much but I am scared I don't want my heart to be broken again. And I can't wait for our baby to arrive," she said."I'm so happy for you, Celine. You deserve all the love and happiness in the world, don't worry Alexander will not break your heart." Rachel said."Thanks, Rach. I'm so grateful for you," Celine said, feeling emotional.The two friends continued to talk for a while longer, discussing everything that had happened during Celine's trip. Celine felt grateful to have such a supportive friend like Rachel in her life.Celine was still on the phone with Rachel when she heard someone shouting her name loudly from the living room. She quickly ended the call and hurried downstairs to see what was going on. As Celine came downstairs, she saw Isabella standing there with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at her with a stern expression."Celine, I've been waiting for you. Where have you been?" Isabella shouted.Celine was take
After a few minutes, Celine composed herself and pulled away from the embrace. Alexander wiped her tears away with his thumb."I'm sorry you had to go through that, Celine. I promise you that I will talk to Isabella and sort things out," Alexander said.Celine shook her head."No, Alexander, please don't. It's not necessary. I don't want to cause any trouble between you and her," Celine said, wiping her tears away."But she can't just come here and insult you like that. It's not right," Alexander said, frowning."It's okay, Alexander. I can handle it. I'm tougher than I look," Celine said, managing a weak smile.Alexander smiled back at her, relieved to see her smiling again."I know you are," he said, kissing her forehead.Celine yawned, feeling exhausted after the emotional outburst."I think I need some rest. Can we continue this later?" Celine asked, closing her eyes."Of course, Rest well. I'll be here if you need anything," Alexander said, standing up.As he walked towards the d
Celine shook her head and sat up on the bed. "No, I just woke up. How did you sleep?"Alexander nodded and said, "I slept well. I couldn't help but check up on you and the baby. How are you feeling?"Celine rubbed her stomach and said, "I'm feeling good. A little tired, but that's to be expected, I suppose."Alexander nodded and said, "You should take it easy today. You have an appointment with the doctor, right?"Celine nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I was actually just about to get ready for it."Alexander stood up and offered her a hand. "Let me help you up."Celine took his hand and stood up. She stretched her arms and yawned. Alexander couldn't help but admire her beauty, even in her sleepy state.He walked with her to the door and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs. Do you want me to come with you to the doctor's appointment?"Celine smiled and said, "No, it's okay. I can go alone. But thank you for offering."Alexander nodded and said, "Alright then. Take care of yourself and th
At midnight, Bryan woke up in a cold sweat. His stomach was aching and he felt nauseous. He tried to call for his parents, but his voice was too weak. "Mommy," he whispered. "Daddy."But there was no answer. His parents were asleep in their room down the hall.Bryan tried to get out of bed, but he was too weak. He lay back down and closed his eyes. He tried to think of what to do.He remembered that Mrs. Maria, the housekeeper, had given him a glass of milk before he went to bed. He wondered if the milk had made him sick.He tried to call for Mrs. Maria, but his voice was still too weak.Bryan started to panic. He was all alone and he didn't know what to do.He closed his eyes and tried to calm down. He took a few deep breaths and tried to think clearly.He tried to reach for the phone on his bedside table, but he was too weak to stand up. He collapsed back onto the bed and closed his eyes.He tried to think about what could be wrong with him. He had been feeling a little under the w
Isabella told the housekeeper her plan. It was risky, but it was the only way that the housekeeper could see to save her daughter.The housekeeper was shocked and disgusted when Isabella told her to put something in Bryan's food or drink. She couldn't believe that Isabella would even suggest such a thing."I would never do anything to hurt an innocent child," the housekeeper said. "I'm a mother myself, and I know how precious children are.""But Celine has done something terrible to me," Isabella said. "She stole my man from me, and she's trying to ruin my life.""I understand that you're angry," the housekeeper said. "But hurting Bryan won't solve anything. It will only make things worse.""I don't care," Isabella said. "I just want Celine to pay for what she's done.""There are other ways to get back at her," the housekeeper said. "You could report her to the police, or you could just look for another man. But hurting Bryan is not the answer."The housekeeper was shocked when Isabel
Isabella POVIsabella sat in her study, her fingers steepled together as she listened to her spy's report."He has hired a new housekeeper," the spy said. "A young woman, no more than 40 years old. She is from a small village in the countryside."Isabella nodded. "I see. "What else do you know about her?" she asked."She is very quiet," the spy said. "She keeps to herself mostly. But she does seem to be very good at her job."Isabella nodded again. "I see."Isabella's eyes widened in surprise when her spy told her about the housekeeper's daughter. She had not expected that the housekeeper would have a family, let alone a child who was sick.Isabella thought for a moment, then smiled. She knew exactly how she could use this information to her advantage.She knew that she had to do something about this. "Thank you for the information," she said to the spy. "I will take care of it."The spy bowed and left the room. Isabella stood up and paced the room, her mind racing. She had to come u
A week after the incident at the business party, Alexander had to go on a business trip to Dubai for two weeks. He told Celine that he would be back as soon as possible. She was sad to see him go, but she knew that he had to do it for work."I have to go away on a business trip," he said. "I'll be gone for two weeks.""It's okay," Celine said. "I'll be fine. Just be careful."Alexander hugged her. "I will," he said.He went to the door, and then he turned back. "Bryan?" he called.His son came running into the room. He was only three years old, but he was already very attached to his father."Daddy," he said, wrapping his arms around Alexander's legs."I have to go away for a little while," Alexander said. "But I'll be back."Bryan started to cry. "Don't go, Daddy," he said. "I want to go with you."Alexander picked up Bryan and held him close. "I wish you could come with me," he said. "But I have to go by myself."He kissed Bryan on the forehead. "I'll be back before you know it," h
Alexander told his wife Celine that he needed to take the restroom. He excused himself and went down the hall to the restroom. After using the restroom, he went into one of the hotel rooms.He closed the door and locked it behind him. He took a deep breath and looked around the room. It was a standard hotel room, with a bed, a dresser, a nightstand, and a television.Alexander walked over to the window and looked out. He could see the city below him. It was a beautiful night, and the city was lit up.Alexander turned away from the window and walked over to the bed. He sat down on the edge of the bed and put his head in his hands.He was feeling overwhelmed. He had been feeling stressed out for a while now, and this evening had just been the icing on the cake.He took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down. He knew that he needed to get back to Celine, but he just needed a few minutes to himself.Alexander: Celine, can you come to room 126? I need to talk to you.Celine: Sure, I'll
It has been hours since the party has started and Alexander drank the wine that Isabella paid a guy to put an aphrodisiac in it. "Alexander, Let's rest for a while."Celine said to Alexander. "I am a little tired and I know you are tired too.""Alright."Alexander said with a smile."Would you like to get some fresh air outside?""Mm-hmm."Celine nodded. "Some fresh air sounds good."Alexander led Celine towards the exit. Once outside she inhales the fresh air around. The night was bright with a full moon shining.Celine: I can't believe Isabella would do that to me.Alexander: I know, it's unbelievable. She's dangerous.Celine: I never thought she would be capable of something like this.Alexander: I know, it's hard to believe. But it's true.Celine: I should have known better than to accept a drink from her.Alexander: It's not your fault. You didn't know.Celine: I should have. I should have been more careful.Alexander: Don't beat yourself up about it. It's done now.Celine: I know.
Alexander and Celine entered the party, and everyone turned to look at them. Celine was stunning in her red dress, and Alexander was handsome in his tuxedo.Celine's dress was form-fitting and showed off her curves perfectly. The colour was a deep, vibrant red that made her skin glow. Her hair was styled in a simple updo, and her makeup was natural but elegant.Alexander was also dressed to impress. His tuxedo fit him perfectly, and his hair was styled neatly. He looked handsome and distinguished.As they walked into the party, everyone stopped what they were doing to stare.

"You don't look so bad yourself."They smiled at each other, and then they took a sip of their drinks.Alexander and Celine were sur
Isabella sat across from Robert at a fancy restaurant. They had been dating for a few months now, and she was starting to fall for him. But she also knew that she could use him to get back at Alexander."I have an idea," she said. "Why don't we team up and deal with Alexander and his family?"Robert looked at her in surprise. "What do you mean?" he asked."I mean, we could use each other to get what we want," she said. "You want to take down Alexander's business, and I want to get revenge on him. We can help each other achieve our goals."Robert thought about it for a moment. "It's an interesting idea," he said. "But I'm not sure if I'm ready to go that far.""What's the worst that could happen?" Isabella asked. "We could fail, and then we're back where we started. But at least we tried."Robert sighed. "You're right," he said. "What do we have to lose?"Isabella smiled. "I'm glad you see things my way," she said. "Now, let's start planning.""I can't believe he did that to me," Isabe
After discussing with Mrs. Jenkins, Alexander and Celine left to their various companies. Alexander was feeling good about what he had done for Mrs. Jenkins. He knew that she would be well taken care of in her retirement.They walked to their cars, which were parked in the driveway."I'm glad we were able to help Mrs. Jenkins," said Alexander. "She's been a wonderful housekeeper for many years, and she deserves to be taken care of.""I agree," said Celine. "She's a kind and generous woman, and I'm glad we could do something to show our appreciation."Alexander got into his car and started the engine.
