The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 35: Meeting Her Again
Julian's POV Arriving in the States, I was shocked to see that Alex's location led me to an hospital. I alighted from my car and entered. But I was stunned to see a stretcher, pushed in with a pregnant woman on it. From the side of her face, I knew who she was already. It was as if the whole universe had stopped for that moment when I heard Alex's cries as she was rushed in. I forgot to breathe and my heart skipped a beat. “Alex, dear. You can do this,” I clutched my chest when I heard Madam Cassandra’s crying voice and I gasped in fear. ‘What happened? How did she get pregnant?’ I thought, my eyes are glued on her stomach. My legs worked on their own and I strode towards them. My heart pounded in my chest, recalling our last moment together and the possibility of the child being mine. “Acosta,” I called out longingly when I got closer. Madam Cassandra turned back and her eyes widened in astonishment. The nurses stopped pushing the stretcher and Alex's stunned eyes glued on my fa

Julian's POV “That's great then. I have bad news,” the doctor announced and a wave of despair washed over me.“Let's talk in my office then,” said the Doctor. He walked ahead of us and we all followed him. All the way, my heart kept hammering in my chest.All I could pray for was for her condition not to be severe and curable. I'm ready to give it all it takes. Still, I need confirmation to know if the child was truly mine.Arriving in front of the doctor's office, I was about to enter when Carlos stopped me. I groaned inwardly and cast him a dreadful gaze.“I'm not here for you, man. Leave my way,” I told him without smiling.“Well, yeah. I get it. But Madam Cassandra doesn't seem to want your presence around her daughter,” he retorted and I looked over at Madam Cassandra, who was still weeping with her gaze on mine.“Please,” I mumbled under my breath. Finally, she nodded and the @sshole before me left my way before I was able to enter the office.The Doctor cleared his throat, gla

Julian's POV A Few Days Later.“Please, drink this,” I pleaded, raising the spoon of soup to Alex. She only kept staring at me without making an attempt to eat anything. She was seated on the bed, her back was resting on the wall.Madam Cassandra was outside the ward, weeping in the hallway and couldn't bring herself to face Alexandra after what happened earlier this morning. My whole body was shaking with turmoil and I was only acting tough in front of her.“Acosta,” I whispered, dropping the spoon. She didn't say anything and only continued to stare at me. The doctor advised us to always be around her, for her not to lose herself completely.Tears welled in her eyes and that was when she looked away. Her eyes fell on the baby cradle that was beside her bed. It was empty and my heart stung, I looked down at my feet and tried to hold my tears back.It was really hard for me to do because of her expression and how guilty I was for what happened. I heard the bed muffling, making me rai

Alexandra’s POV A Few Weeks Later.I was in my room, gazing out of the window, seated on the couch, lost in my thoughts. I got discharged a few days ago and the thought of coming back to this house without my little daughter will still be a choking lump in my throat, impossible to find its way to my stomach.It's hard to accept this reality.A tear slid down my cheeks, which I didn't bother to wipe it away. Each moment was a tormenting eternity. My body was wracked with waves of pain, as if invisible hands were twisting and tearing at my insides. I could barely move, my limbs heavy and unresponsive. With every bitter tear, my heart felt like it was being torn apart. The ache inside was relentless, a gnawing pain that spread with every sob. A soft sob escaped my lips and I continued crying silently, bittered by what had happened to me all my life.I was reminded of Sophia, the one whom I chose as my best friend. I don't want to believe that she was part of Julian's organization. It m

Julian’s POV “I will be right back,” I said to Alex, who kept staring at me without blinking. I don't know if she was doing this in order not to talk to me.I realized that I have to give her her space. With time, she would come around soon. But that doesn't mean I won't care for her, I will always care for her until I take my last breath.Standing up, I wiped her tears and kissed her cheeks. She still didn't react, with our closeness, I fixed my eyes on her face. She wasn't responding or reacting to me, yet she was crying.Trying my luck, I pecked her lips and wiped her tears, it was still the same thing. ‘Is this some other level of avoidance?’ I thought, wondering why she wasn't responding. Sighing, I walked out of the room and went to find Madam Cassandra.She was in the kitchen, making soup for Alex when I walked.“Hi,” I greeted and she nodded in response with a stiff smile. The whole house was so gloomy and I felt like it wouldn't be safe for Alex's mental health. Giving wha

Julian’s POV Gripping my hair frustratedly, I raised my head and looked up at the doctor.“What's the best solution?”“Getting a professional psychiatrist and supportive system,” the doctor responded, and I heaved a deep sigh.I was totally confused at this point. Of course I know what to do, but knowing that Alex has a mental health issue because of my carelessness hurts me more.“Starting from the supportive system. What do you think would help?” I asked him in a quiet tone.He hummed thoughtfully, leaning into his swivel chair and twirled around a little.“You should start with a pet. I mean, get her a pet with a white fur. Be it a cat or puppy. She might react to it,” he proposed and I nodded obediently.He went ahead giving me more advice on how to help her manage her condition. After a short while, I walked out of his office, searching for the nearest pet shop on my phone.I found a particular shop, got her a maltese dog with a white fur, according to what the doctor had said.

Julian's POV“Alex has DID,” I dropped the bombshell after so much contemplation. Jasmine looks perplexed with Julixa in her arms, gawking at me. Her expression was similar to everyone in the living room.“DID? Is that a kind of abbreviation for a condition?” My dad questioned and I nodded, turning to look at Madam Cassandra.“It's a mental condition. Dissociative Identity Disorder,” I stated, going ahead and began explaining everything the Doctor says to them.Madam Cassandra was the first to gasp and my mum went to hold her. “The psychiatrist I hired for her would be here tomorrow morning,” I assured, my eyes on Madam Cassandra who was still trying to digest this fact.Soon, she nodded with a heavy heart.“I will go see her,” I nodded and watched as she walked away.Julixa made some whiny sounds, and my gaze shifted to him.Jasmine poured the puppy kibbles in a bowl, her eyes lingered on it for a while and I knew what was going on on her mind.“It's her food not yours,” I emphasiz

Alexandra's POVThe Next Day.Seated on the couch in my room, Julixa was resting in my arms. I got to know her name when a little petite girl came with her to my room yesterday after Julian left for a while.‘Jasmine,’ “Oh, yes. Jasmine. You told me,” I responded to Alex as she reminded me of the lady's name.What I still don't get is how Alex was caring for Julixa. I could recall when I woke up in the hospital, I found her beside me and Alex had urged me to carry her.Now, she is in my arms, fast asleep but I wouldn't stop rubbing her fur. She looks so innocent and I couldn't help but love her just like Alex.I looked down at Julixa, my eyes landed on my hands that were working on their own. I was wondering if Alex was the one controlling me into doing things.‘Why would you think that I was controlling you?’ she asked, her tone was hard and I couldn't help but wanna roll my eyes. She flare up with things easily.“You're the one that cares for Julixa. Not me. And I was wondering how

The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 54: Wedding Day
Alexandra's POVWith a radiating smile as ever, I walked down the aisle with Julian's Dad beside me. My eyes were fixed on Julian all these while, and the guests’ eyes were on me.He looks so handsome in his white tailored-suit. His hair was slightly cut with a smooth side part, standing with his hands locked together in his front.“Careful dear,” I heard his Dad saying to me, I flashed him a smile, nodding as we continued to approach the altar.Majority of the guests were unfamiliar to me, but related to Julian's family. My only family was my mum, my eyes searched for her through the crowd and I found her.She was by my left, having teary eyes. Before I could get more overwhelmed than I already was, we arrived at the altar.With a curt nod, Julian's father gave my hands to him and I looked at him. His Dad patted him before walking away.“You look stunning,” Julain complimented and I blushed without responding. The priest began the opening prayer and everywhere was silent.Fast forwar

Alexandra's POV“No. I just want a simple flowy gown. You can come up with the design but I don't want it to be too flashy as this one,” I instructed the wedding designer, declining her suggestion to the gown she wants to make for me.“Okay, ma'am. Got it,’ she flashed me a smile, packing her belongings before leaving the house. I stood up and stretched my body, heading to where Julian was.He was with the event planner and I can't help but feel giddy with the way everything was going.“Hey, baby,” I greeted as I walked closer to him. He pecked my cheeks, pointing at the settings of the hall he was going for.“Do you like them?” He asked with a beautiful smile.The settings were simple, and elegant.Nodding, “I love it. We will go for this, sir,” I said to the man.“All right then. I will be on my way,” “Drive safely,” “Thanks, ma'am,” we both bowed curtly at each other before he walked out. Immediately the door was closed. I squealed excitedly;“Yay!” I hugged Julian tightly. He on

Alexandra's POV“Baby, wake up,” a voice said softly. I hummed in response with my eyes closed, snuggling closer to the owner of the voice.“Wake up, sleeping beauty,” Julian used my hair to make feathery touches on my face. I rubbed my face roughly before fluttering my eyes opened.He was smiling at me sweetly before he kissed my forehead. Wishing me a good morning and I yawned soundly.I was stunned when he covered his nose, shifting away from me.“Really?” I scoffed, displaying a playful angry expression.“Your morning breath,”“I know right. But you shouldn't have made your displeasure known in that manner,” I said with a slight frown kiddingly.“It smells divine. But I just wanted to be sure that's why I covered my nose,” he made a lame excuse and that got me snickering. I stretched my body and the duvet fell off.I was totally naked! His eyes lingered on my chest before he made a funny face.“Meow,” I slapped his shoulder when he made that teasing sound. We both chuckled as I co

Alexandra's POV“Hmm,” I moaned as Julian's and I's tongue got entangled. His hands roamed my bare thighs and I shivered because of his cold palms.We were both aroused at this point and I was just in my underwear already. His eyes ogled my body with lust flashing through his eyes, I pulled him closer and kissed him more.The kiss was intense and sloppy, he gave my butt a gentle squeeze. And I moaned louder.“I think we need to stop,” he said huskily, kissing me back. I tried to collide our bodies together, my arms around his neck.I hummed in response without letting go of him. He tried to push me slightly but I didn't bulge. We were both horny and I see no reason why we have to stop now. The room was dark, dimly lit with blue light.“Baby listen,” he succeeded in stopping me, holding my hands. I pouted and he chuckled, pecking my lips.“I want you. More than you want me but we need to stop,” he cautioned. I wriggled my hands from hands hold, held his jaw and kissed him hungrily.He

Alexandra's POV“Are you sure?”“Yes, get on with it already! I see nothing,” I said in a slightly raised voice at my mum. I was all dressed up in a fancy silver dress, my hair was swept to the side with a jewel comb.And the diamond necklace on my neck sparkles under the bright chandelier light in the room, together with my earrings.My make-up was minimal which I was grateful for but I still see no reason for this. Julian called, and I was asked to dress up to attend a party.Now that we have arrived, my eyes were covered with a blindfold with my mum leading me inside the hall. My three-inch heels soft click sound on the floor was heard as we entered the grand hall.For some reason, I was jealous of the owner of the occasion. Perhaps Julian doesn't want me to know my way in or something. Whichever reason it might be, I still couldn't find one to support his decision.“Aren't we there yet?”“Soon, baby. Be patient,” my mum responded and I responded with a sigh.“Is Jasmine with Julix

Alexandra's POV“DLS corporation proposed a deal. And I smell something tricky in there,” Marcus pointed out as Julian glanced through the contents.His expression deepened before he passed the folder back to Marcus.“Baby, what's happening?” I asked him with concern written all over my face. He shook his head and kissed my forehead.“It's nothing to be worried about. I got this,” he kissed my forehead again before rubbing Julixa's head and turned to Marcus.“My car or yours?”“Are you leaving?” I asked in a slightly raised voice.“Mine,” Marcus responded.“I'll be back soon,” Julian said to me before walking out, leaving me to guess what could be happening.I dropped Julixa on the floor and bit my fingernails nervously.“Is Julian out? I heard a car driving out,” I turned around when I heard a voice. It was Jasmine, she was coming down from the stairs.I nodded before sitting on the couch. She came to me and crouched.“What happened? Did Julian fight with you?” She asked me in a more

Alexandra's POV “No, they don't,” Julian responded with a sullen expression, referring to his parents and my eyes widened in surprise. Even though I expected this response from him. I don't know why I'm still surprised. “It makes sense to me now. I tend to wonder why you chose to be a member of a so-called organization when you have influential parents that can get you to the top,” I said out my mind. “I was young and stubborn, determined and brave. I wanted to do this on my own, and I don't regret it at all….” He paused, turning to face me. My back rested on the bed bunk while he was seated on the edge of the bed. “Not until recently and the stripper thing came up,” he continued, explaining to me how he got to be a member without his parents knowing. I asked him. I heaved a deep sigh and stood up, going to sit beside him. His expression was seldom and I rubbed his cheeks with my palms. “Is there a way for you to back out?” “Yeah,” he responded and I raised a brow. “Really? W

Alexandra's POVA Few Days Later.“Wait,” I stopped Julian, who turned to me with a questioning gaze.“I-I’m nervous. It's not-” “Babe,” he cut me off, holding my shoulder.“She should be the one nervous, not the other way around. One way or the other, this has to be solved. Plus, I will be there with you so you don't have to worry. Okay?” He flashed me a reassuring smile and I nodded with anxiety written all over my face.We were currently in front of his parents’ room. After breakfast this morning, I decided for us to settle whatever that was between us. And Julian was here to accompany me.Taking a sharp breath, I knocked on the door and we were permitted to go in. My heart was hammering in my chest as we entered.His mum was playing chess game alone, I glanced around the room for his dad but he wasn't found.“Wow, sweetie. You came to visit me in my room,” she jolted up from the couch, walking closer to hug me.I hugged her back, my gaze on Julian who smiled.“I just wanted to se
The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You Chapter 46: The Assignment He Started
Julian's POV“Come in,” I permitted the person knocking on my office door to enter without gazing up to see the person. I have a lot of work to do, proposals that need my signature and many more.Since Alex's arrival, I hadn't had enough time to come to the company and get busy with work. I wasn't in the right state of mind to add work to my problems.Hearing no voice, I raised my head and found Marcus at the door. The pen I was holding fell from my grip and I leaned into my chair.A small smile formed on my lips before I stood up abruptly.“What's good, man?” We gripped each other into a manly embrace. How can I forget his kind gesture, watching over my company when I was away.“I’m good, I'm good. I expected you to have lost some weight,” he joked and I chuckled slightly, disengaging from the hug.I went back to sit on my swivel chair and he settled across from me.“How is she doing now?” He asked me and I sighed heavily. I recalled our little moment yesterday morning before she sen
