The Disabled CEO is my Husband. Chapter 40
The words had not left the doctor’s mouth completely when Alejandro blinked once, then twice trying to make sense of them.“Pregnant?” he repeated like he had maybe been mistaken.The doctor gave a light nod, smiling as though he had just delivered the best news in the world, one of the things he was good at doing. “Yes, Mr. Mendoza. From the scan reports, she is a little over five weeks old. We will carry out more tests to ensure that everything is progressing smoothly. But right now, it’s safe to say congratulations.”For a beat, Alejandro couldn’t speak. His heart pounded in his chest, and every corner of his mind spun as the reality hit him all at once.Elise was pregnant. They were going to have a child.Before Elise, he had never actively considered having children. But with her, he had longed for everything that would make them a complete family. Goodness, he loved her in ways that were almost beginning to terrify him and now they were going to have a child? His child?His ex

Resting in the hospital made her feel some kind of weakness that Elise did not appreciate, till somehow Alejandro noticed and ensured her discharge papers were processed faster. Now they were back to the house, as Alejandro’s car just drove into the mansion. The excitement Elise was beginning to force out died as soon as she noticed that Diane was not part of the staff waiting for her. Which meant she was not back from her leave. She sighed, reaching to unlock the door before Alejandro rushed to her side.“Take it easy,” he smiled, “Let me help you.”She nodded, then stepped out when he did. Stepping into the house compared to how she had left only made the weight in her chest feel heavier. Because her family was still there to deal with, there was her insecurity with Mariana, and now she is pregnant. Interesting.“Where are you going to?”“My room.”“No no, let’s stay together. I don’t want us to be away, I need to watch you and our baby.”Elise shook her head, but internally, sh

As if Alejandro had read her mind, his voice cut through the elegant clatter of dinnerware being arranged.“Mother,” he said, his eyes burning with anger, “what is Mariana doing here?”The room stilled. Elise, still standing beside him, watched as Mrs. Mendoza’s face remained perfectly composed. Too composed like it was normal for Mariana to be present.Mrs. Mendoza let out a soft laugh, the kind that tried to brush tension away. “Darling, don’t be so dramatic. Mariana stopped by, and since we’re all family—regardless of…you know, past misunderstandings—I didn’t think there would be any harm in her joining us.”Elise didn’t flinch, at least not to the attention of anybody. But her grip around her clutch tightened, as her nails dug slightly into the soft leather.She scoffed. “Family.”How did she for a moment forget the people that she was dealing with?Alejandro’s face was still stiff. “Mother, you should have asked me before making her stay. It’s a family dinner, and I don’t want h

The events that took place at the previous dinner were possibly not lesson enough for Elise because on this morning again, she was dressing up to visit the Mendoza mansion. Alejandro adjusted his tie as he faced her. “Are you sure you want to go?”She tossed her lip gloss into her bag and nodded. “Yes.”Her encounter with Mariana was not the best, as much as she appreciated that she had been firm with her about staying off her child. But nothing else had happened after that. “You know you could just stay back though? I will come pick you up after work to join.”She heaved. “Alejandro, I want to be there. Your mom said the foundation does not usually give charity at this time of the year. It’s happening now because I am pregnant, at least from what she said. It will be wrong if I’m absent from the meeting.”He nodded against his will. “You have a point.”He was more worried because he was not going to be there with her especially as he had to go to work and leaving her with his mothe

The charity event had drawn the city’s elite, pouring in as men in tailored suits with women wearing expensive jewels with their laughter mingling with the clink of champagne glasses. Ellse stood near the edge of the grand room, the gold necklace cool against her skin. It was beautiful, no doubt, but it sat there like an extra weight on her skin. After her encounter with Lucas and every other preparation that had to be carried out, she changed into a dress fitting for the event with a quick makeup touch-up.She smoothed her dress, a deep emerald that hugged her just enough to show the very faint curve of her stomach to only the people who could notice, while her eyes scanned the crowd.Alejandro arrived then, moving through the room like he owned it, which in a way, he did. It was their occasion and he was the face of Mendoza Holdings, the pioneer of the foundation.His tuxedo was sharp, with the black fabric catching the light as he moved, searching for Elise and his eyes found her

The secondary living room was just a few rooms away from the main hall but it was a world away from the bling and decor of the charity event. Elise stood near the window, the cool glass pressing against her fingertips as she stared out mindlessly at the estate’s sprawling lawn. Alejandro paced behind her, his footsteps muffled by the thick rug. He took off his tuxedo jacket, tossed it over a chair, and hung his tie loose around his neck. “You didn’t have to hear that,” he said, his voice rough but much quiet like he was trying to pull himself back. “ I don’t know what she was thinking. Mariana, she has no right to do that.”Elise turned, her dress rustling faintly as she faced him. “You ended the contracts,” the words slipped out roughly from her lips. “With her family. Just like that.”He stopped pacing and locked his eyes on hers. “Yes, of course,” Alejandro moved closer, close enough that she could smell the faint cedar of his cologne. “They don’t get to talk to you like that.

Now they were back at their home, a breath of fresh air away from the confrontation that had happened at the Foundation event. Alejandro wanted to leave immediately, but Elise made him stay back as the event was not completely over, and she did not want him to miss out on some important interactions because of her. Amongst the number of things that happened, the major thing that stood out was Alejandro’s father supporting him to defend her. It was not like in front of her, he had ever outrightly voiced out his hate, but she could feel the disdain before now. “Thank you!” She nodded and stepped into the room while Alejandro locked the door behind her. “It’s nothing,” Alejandro mentioned as he watched her trying to take off her jewelry, a few steps away from him. He wanted to move to help her, but he did not trust himself, and the actions that he would take, so he turned away, He focused on undressing but turned back to her while his shirt was unbuttoned just halfway, revealin

Elise’s eyelids flapped open as the morning light filtered through the curtains casting lights across the room.Her body felt languid from everything that had happened the previous night and a slow smile formed on her lips as the memories rushed back to her mind. The faint ache in her muscles was a delicious reminder of Alejandro’s touch, his sweet words, and the way he explored every part of her with intentional care.She rolled onto her side, hugging the pillow as she let out a giggle. As if experiencing all of it afresh, she pressed her eyes shut and her legs tight as the chills ran through her.But then, her mind flicked to the Foundation event with the reality dawning on her that Alejandro had opted out of a major contract and even though they had an intimacy to clear out the tension of the previous day, it was a reality that was still going to hit them.She could still see the hatred in Mariana’s eyes as she spat out that Alejandro was going to regret his decision.

By the time Alejandro returned later in the day, Elise had moved back to the bedroom after spending her time sulking. She was on a couch in the room, curled up with a book she was not invested in, but passed as a distraction. She only noticed his presence when his cologne filled the air followed by the scent of blooming roses. Before she could get on her feet, Alejandro opened the door, smiling as soon as he saw her.“Lily.” “Alejandro, you are back.” She said almost immediately. “Yes,” he nodded.Elise stared at him with a thin smile on her lips, unsure what to say next. She looked at him again, and at the faint lines around his eyes from exhaustion, yet his smile was warm and maybe, boyish.His tie hung loosely on his neck, and his hair was disheveled, as though he had run his hands through it a hundred times. “You are sure you had a good day?”“Yes, of course. I did,” he mentioned, adjusting the bouquet of deep red roses in his arms.“Okay.” Elise nodded slowly, shifting her ga

“I think I feel better now.” Elise forced out, holding her neck. The bathroom tiles were cold against her knees, contrasting the feverish heat that radiated from her body. She was still sleeping when a wave of nausea hit her, and the next thing she was doing was running to the bathroom to retch.The icy feel of the tiles seeped through the thin fabric of her cotton pajamas, adding more to the inconvenience she was experiencing as her stomach churned.Her hands gripped the toilet’s rim, her knuckles pale, as another wave of nausea surged. Once again, she retched into the bowl, the sound of it coming straight from her lungs. Her throat burned with acid, and her eyes stung as the sweat beads on her forehead dropped into it. Yet, she did not allow the tears that consumed her to fall. Morning sickness was not a new term to her, but the experience was worse than she had seen in books and articles. It felt like her body was betraying her, every part of it giving in to the chaos that fil

Reminiscing about how fast things turned was probably not the wisest thing for Elise to be doing. Yet, she could not help but live it again.She remembered vividly how she was putting up with her family, and praying to move to college as soon as possible. Then out of no where marriage suddenly knocked. Not one born out of love, but an arrangement that she had to fulfill. It was suffocating to think about it because then she felt like her life was being tossed about and she had no control. If she was not optimistic about life, she feared what she would have done to herself in all those times. Moving forward and being with Alejandro was another roller coaster. On some days, she was loving it and on some others, it seemed completely unbearable. All of this went on and all she could hold on to was her firm belief that regardless of how and when, a day would come when she would have achieved her long life dream.Like an earthquake, pregnancy appeared and shook her world completely.
