Over the next few days, Axel recovered, and everything was back to normal. Reese stopped receiving visits from her ex—it seemed the beating he got from Axel was worth it.

Reese was in her office, going through the company’s email, when she came across an email sent by Mr. Smith—a potential client that they have been trying to land a deal with but to no avail.

The content of the email was good news. He had asked to meet with Axel at an Italian family restaurant that was on the outskirts of the city to discuss the terms of the deal they had been trying so hard to land—a deal that would add millions to the company’s name.

He was working on his computer when she pushed the door open and slipped inside.

He hoisted his head up, and when he noticed the delighted look on her face, he asked. "Good news?"

"Yes." She beamed as she approached his desk. "Guess what?"

He raised a brow. "You are pregnant?"

She laughed.
