All Chapters of The Enigmatic Masked Stripper: Fighting To Love You : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Julian's POV “That's the scope for the next project, sir,” Mr. Stephenson reported. “Do you mean I'm blind?” He jerked his head up and stared at me with wide eyes. “S-Sir, I never….” “Enough!” I slammed my fist on my desk, “This is a total garbage you have here as a scope. I can't believe you gave me such inaccurate information. Your mistake has wasted my valuable time and resources. Deliver this back to me and get it together!” I flung the files in his direction and the papers were flying in the air. He hastily bent over and picked it up. “I’m so sorry, sir. This would never happen again,” he apologized hurriedly, bowing before he walked out of my office. Other team leaders in my office stood with their legs shaking. The next person presented their proposal but I wasn't in the mood for work, their silly mistakes kept getting me riled up. “Everyone should leave my office now!” I barked with my elbow resting on my desk and thumb supporting my chin with my index finger re

Alexandra’s POV “I'm pregnant with Julian's baby,” I croaked, looking at my mum. Her mouth went agape, gazing at me in astonishment. Carlos insisted on dropping my home which I wasn't liking because that makes him knows where I live. I sniffled, wiping my tears and tucking the strands of my hair behind my ear. “I guess that explains why I have been feeling weak lately,” I added, my eyes feel puffy and red. I couldn't stop the tears that kept gushing out of my eyes, playing with my fingers as I await my mum's response. I was reminded of the night I spent with him before I left Australia. “Do you regret it?” I darted my head to my mum. She pressed her lips together, blinking back her tears as she came closer to me. “Do you?” She repeated with our eyes fixed together. I didn't hesitate before shaking my head negatively. “He has nothing to do with this. I forced him to sleep with me and I enjoyed every moment of it. But getting pregnant….” I couldn't complete my words as I br

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 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

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
