Chapter 81

Layla's POVI paced the room, my heart racing with the new reality. “How could Alex have killed someone?” I muttered to myself.Am I married to a killer?Tracy's voice interrupted my thoughts. “Relax, Layla, you're making me dizzy!”I stopped pacing and turned to her. She sat cross legged on my bed, looking somewhat angry. “I just can't believe it. Alex was always so calm and collected. How could he be so heartless?”Tracy raised an eyebrow. Shaking her head at me. “I really don't understand you. Isn't that what you wanted? You said you wanted to rip her apart, and Alex did it for you. Either way, you've gotten your revenge!”I shook my head, feeling a mix of emotions. “That was just a joke, Tracy. I couldn't even harm a fly.”Tracy chuckled. “Well, Alex is definitely capable. And he is gorgeous too. I haven't seen him so close.” She winked. “If you're going to divorce him, just know that I am taking him.”“What?!” My eyes widened in shock. “How could you covet your boss’ husband? You

Alexander's POVLayla and I rushed towards the girl to save her. Before I knew it, Layla was already swimming towards her in the ocean.When did she learn to swim? I wondered.Everyone cheered as Layla rescued the girl and brought her to the shore, panting heavily.The paramedics arrived and took the girl away on a stretcher.I hugged Layla tightly. “You scared me! Why did you do that?”“I had no choice,” Layla said, smiling. “I couldn't watch the poor girl drown.”I kissed her forehead. “I'm so proud of you.”The elderly couple approached us, grateful. “Thank you for saving our granddaughter.” They shook our hands.“We owe you one.” The old man added.“It's no problem. It's what we should have done.” I replied.But Layla's expression suddenly changed. Staring deeply into the old man's eyes. “How did she drown?” The old man's expression tensed. Beads of sweat formed on his head even in the chilly weather. “She was playing near the water. I warned her not to go too deep, but you know

Chapter 83

Layla's POVI smiled at Alex as we drove back to the penthouse.“What's on your mind?” he asked, noticing my gaze.“Life's unpredictable,” I replied. “Now we're caring for a girl we barely know. It's amazing.”Alex nodded. “Our lives are far from ordinary.”I placed my hand on his lap. “I promise to stand by you, no matter what.”He smiled, squeezing my hand. “Thanks. I knew I could always count on you.”As we arrived at the penthouse, a sense of calm washed over us.We sat down at the table, sipping gently on our wine. Alex's gaze became somber.“What happened?” I asked.He sucked in air with his teeth. “I was thinking of starting a foundation for the less privileged.”I dropped the wine glass, covering my mouth with my palm. “Really? That's so amazing!”“Lily's situation got me thinking. There are lots of children like her that need help, but we can't get to them.”“That was so thoughtful of you, sweetheart.” I smiled, a tear escaping my eyes. Who could have thought that the heartle

Alexander's POVLayla rushed over, taking Lily away from Emma.“Where have you been?” Layla asked, hugging Lily tightly. “I was so scared.”“I'm sorry, Layla,”Lily replied.I stood up, facing Emma. “Why was Lily with you?”“I just found her walking alone,” Emma explained. “I happened to be nearby.”I smiled at Emma. “Thank you for finding her.”Layla's expression softened. “We're so grateful.’“I'm just glad she's safe,” Emma said.My dad offered, “Join us for dinner as a thank you.”Emma accepted, and we sat down together.Over dinner, Emma shared stories of her travels.Lily chatted excitedly about her adventure.Layla and I exchanged warm glances.As the evening ended, Emma stood to leave.“Thanks again,” I said, shaking her hand.Layla hugged her. “Come visit soon.”Emma smiled. “I'd love to.”As Emma departed, Layla turned to me. “Nice people still exist.” I nodded. “Definitely.”We watched Emma go, feeling grateful.I turned to Lily. “Why did you go out?”She looked down, her ey

Chapter 85

Layla's POVLily was finding it difficult to be herself. She no longer trusts people and would wake up at night in fear that Samantha or her grandparents would come for her.My heart ached. The therapy she had was really not working as it should.“It's better if we send her out of the country, don't you think?” Alex asked.“But she would be out of our sight.” I pouted. “She now calls me mom.” “She would also be out of trouble. Let us change her environment and check to see if things would change.” “What can I say?” I surrendered.“Let's send him off to Italy.” “Hmm, that would be great.”“Her birthday is approaching, let's surprise her.” Alex Said.I shrugged my shoulders. I entered her room and she was sleeping peacefully after the pills she took. She could no longer sleep without taking drugs. My heart ached greatly.I placed a gentle kiss on her head. “I love you dear.” She moaned in her sleep.Lily's birthday approached and we planned a party for her. We invited her friends ov

Chapter 86

Alexander's POVI couldn't believe how much Layla had changed since Lily arrived. She became a mother figure to that young girl, and I understood. But sometimes, I felt neglected.Layla would spend hours on the phone with Lily, talking and laughing. I'd come home from work, and she'd barely notice me. Our conversations became rare.One evening, I'd had enough. I snatched the phone from her hands. “Layla, I feel neglected,” I said, looking into her eyes.She seemed surprised. “What do you mean?”“You're always on the phone with Lily,” I explained. “Or talking about her. It's like I'm not important.”Layla apologized, and I saw the sincerity in her eyes. But I couldn't shake off the feeling.Days passed, and the tension between us simmered. We barely spoke.Then, Layla made an effort to change. She started prioritizing our time together.One evening, she sat on my lap, her eyes locked on mine.“I'm sorry,” she whispered. “For neglecting you.”My heart softened. “I know you miss Lily,” I

Chapter 87

Layla's POVMy face broke into a smile as I stepped into the room I had decorated for my baby. Trailing my hands on the furniture and bed. “The baby isn't even here yet.” Alexander said, smiling at the door. I turned to him, my hands folded. “I know, but it's best if we start preparing now.” I giggled.He stepped in, “wait, how are you so sure it's a boy you would have as the first child?”“I'm super sure. It has been my prayer since I was a little girl.” I smiled.“But I want a girl child.” He pouted.“No, Alex. We are going to have a boy. Don’t jinx it!” I said with a playful grin, my eyes sparkling with excitement.“That’s not fair. Don’t you think you should also prepare a room for a girl?” Alex asked, raising an eyebrow in mock protest. “We should prepare for both.”“Hmm, I will.” I held his hands and we went downstairs for dinner.“What are we having for today?” Alex asked the butler.“Chicken Parmesan, sir.” The butler bowed slowly.“Okay,” he nodded. The househelps served th

Alexander's POVWith renewed hope, we embarked on the journey.We made love that night, with the faith that things would turn out well, but it didn't.We tried, and tried, but each month brought disappointment.I began to worry, doubts creeping in.“Maybe we're not meant to be parents,” Layla said, her voice trembling.I wrapped my arms around her.“Don't say that,” I whispered. “We'll get there.”I pulled out my phone, scrolling through the fertility app."Let's try a different approach,” I suggested.We adjusted our timing, incorporating healthier habits.Layla focused on self-care, stress reduction, and positive affirmations.Layla seemed to take all this seriously and I decided to give her all the support she needs as her husband.I supported Layla, attending yoga classes together.Our bond strengthened, love deepening with each passing day.One evening, as we strolled through the park, I turned to Layla.“I love you, no matter what,” I said.Tears filled her eyes. “I love you to

Chapter 89

Layla's POVAlex gazed at me. I nodded. “Go get a surrogate, Alex. You don't even have to wait till the end of the year.”“You can't be serious, Layla. How will a woman tell her husband to go get another woman pregnant?” he asked.I turned to him, my expression serious. “If the woman can't fulfill her duties then I see no reason why she shouldn't agree.” Alex moved closer to me, placing his hands on my shoulders. “It's not your fault, Layla. Don't see yourself as that. You have always been with me through difficult times, I can't look away from that.”Tears clouded my eyes. “It's my fault, Alex. We have done numerous tests. We've gone through several procedures, but none of them worked. If getting a surrogate is what will work then get one.”Alex scoffed. “So you're telling me, you don't see anything wrong in caring for someone else's child.”Tears streamed down my face. It felt as though my heart was being pricked with a blade. “Hmm,” I nodded. “As long as it's your child, Alex.”A

Chapter 90

Alexander's POV“Seriously, grandma?” I hissed upon sighting the banner on the shop. “Don't tell me this is where we are going?.” I asked, pointing my hand towards the small shop that stood alone, surrounded by bushes and grasses.“Yes, my dear. This is the place.” My grandmother nodded, smiling.Layla's jaw dropped.I turned back to enter the car. “You have no choice, Alex. Unless you want me to throw your wife out by the end of the year.” She threatened.“Shit!” I kicked the car, hurting my foot. “Ouch,” I winced.“Sorry, dear.” Layla said, patting my back.“But Emilia, we are public figures. What if someone takes our pictures and posts them online.” Layla voiced.“Yeah, fair point.” I supported.“Don't worry.” She opened her bag and brought out face caps and nose masks. “Here,” she handed it over to us.“Weird,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. No wonder her bag appeared bigger than usual. Who could have thought?We had no choice but to enter the shop with her. “Good day, m
