All Chapters of The rogue heir’s redemption: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The second time I'm glad to be back home, it doesn’t smell like disinfectant, herbs, or anything nauseating. But for the past two days we've been back, Xander has been a little too overprotective and a bit cranky. He gets mad at me for trying to do anything other than sleeping, taking a bath, or eating. For some weird reason, he keeps asking me if I have something to tell him. When I say no, he simply nods and looks a bit disappointed, then goes back to doing what he was doing before.Each time I try to bring up the poison or anything associated with the plan on Victor, he dismisses it or tells me we'll talk about it later.I know I'm supposed to be a little glad he's been home for two days straight, but I wish he'd go busy himself with work like he always does, but he isn't. He's been all up around me for the two whole days; the only times I get to be alone is in the bathroom.But something about the way he’s been treating me nuts doesn’t seem right to me and I plan on uncovering t

**Aria's POV** I opened my eyes to an amused yet smiling Xander. I followed his gaze to the screen and saw something like a tiny bean displayed; it was the baby, very small. "There is the baby," Lucas said, motioning to the screen. My cheeks heated up a little, embarrassed for doubting the test results for the first time. After a few minutes of checking, Lucas wrote down some things in his notepad before turning off the machine and gave me a tissue to wipe off the cold gel from my stomach. "We'll get you a few pictures of the ultrasound to take home," he said before excusing himself from the room. "Hey," Xander started, "are you okay?" Concern covered his face. I didn't know my eyes were tearing up until I felt a stray tear roll down my cheek. "I'm fine," I quickly wiped the tear away from my face. I don't know what to feel; finding out I'm pregnant is still a little shocking to me. How the heck was it possible? I should've been the first person to know I was pregnant, so how

Aria’s POV I wake up with a start, feeling a tight pain shooting through my chest. I try to breathe, but something stands between my airflow."Hey, breathe." I don't know how or when he got there, but his voice was in my head."Breathe, sunshine." He pulls me into his arms, rubbing a hand on my back. While I try to breathe, it doesn't seem to be working; a tear rolls down my cheek.I don't know why it's hard to breathe, but a few distracting words from Xander helped. It felt as if the pearly gates just opened up for me."That's it, baby, breathe slowly." His hand motions up and down, and I follow, taking a breath one after the other.I wrap my arms tighter around him, tears rolling down my face. "I'll go get you some water," he stands to go to the kitchen, but I tighten my hold on his shirt."No, please don't," I hold him tighter. "You can't go, you can't leave me alone," I sob."I won't leave; I'm staying right here with you." He hugs me back. Even with his arms around me, I can't

Xander's POVI smell something fishy lingering around that guy. His face looks so familiar, but I don’t know how or where I know him from.“Can we take him home with us?” Aria asks with a bright smile making my balls twitch.“No,” I state, devoiding my face of any emotion so she understands I'm not joking. This guy could be a spy; we can't trust him at least not this fast, he was or is Aria's friend. but For all we know, he could've changed; people can change in a snap of a finger.“What? Why?” Her eyes widen as if there was an egg garden growing on my head.I feel Jackson asking for my permission to mind-link, which I accepted almost immediately. “Bossman,” Jackson's voice boomed in my head leave it to Jackson to call my random names.“What did you find?” I asked Jackson to look into Aria's so-called friend who showed up out of the blue because I didn't understand how he got past the border without anyone noticing.“What happened to hi, good morning, how was your night Jack?” One of

Aria’s POVI don't plan on going to the bonfire. I don't do well in events; the last time I went to a gathering like that, it didn’t end well for me.I took a deep sigh, tossing from one side of the bed to the other. I'm not hungry yet; my body feels weird, and I keep feeling as if the next time I close my eyes or dare to sleep, the next nightmare is going to be worse than the last.I rolled on the bed a few more times before I finally decided it was time for me to get up. Maybe get a snack or maybe watch a movie to pass the time.I roamed through the fridge, but everything in there isn't exactly what I was hoping for. There's a bunch of veggies and healthy snacks.I gave up and moved to the living room. I remembered I was watching some movie I didn’t finish last time. I turned the TV on, keeping the volume as low as I could.I paused the movie when I heard rumbles coming from the kitchen. I stayed silent, hoping it would stop, but it didn’t. Then I felt the back door creak.I grabbed
