Chapter 111

Kelly’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my dress for the third time. The baby bump had made choosing outfits a mission, but I wasn’t in the mood for anything too tight or uncomfortable today. I need more maternity gowns, I had my routine check-up at the hospital, and as much as I hated hospitals, I knew it was necessary, at least for the baby.Alex was sitting on the edge of the bed, flipping through his phone, looking every bit as relaxed as I was anxious, we just had breakfast, maybe that's why my stomach is bigger, or not, this baby is growing super fast. I looked at myself and smiled, I was becoming a mother!."You know, you're supposed to come with me, right?" I said, turning to him.He barely glanced up. "Come with you where?"I rolled my eyes. "To the hospital. It’s supposed to be me and my partner,that’s you, in case you forgot it helps us bond with the baby on a parent-baby level and makes us more excited and involved in this together.Alex exhaled dramatically.

Chapter 112

Alex’s POVThe clock on my office wall ticked steadily, a rhythmic sound that usually blended into the background. But not today. Today, it felt deafening.Across from me sat a man I had never seen before, yet he carried an air of familiarity that unsettled me. His brown eyes held an emotion I refused to acknowledge, hope. I saw a man who looked like me!. It's true, my mom's son."Who are you?" I asked, my voice devoid of warmth.He didn’t flinch. Instead, he exhaled slowly and met my gaze head-on."My name is Richard Hale," he said. Then, after a pause, he dropped the bombshell. "I’m your brother." The bastard knew!. This isn't mere coincidence.I stared at him, waiting for the punchline. When none came, I leaned back in my chair and let out a short, humorless laugh."I don’t recall having a brother," I said coolly.Richard studied me carefully. "We have the same mother."The words sent a jolt through me, but I didn’t let it show. Instead, I folded my hands on the desk, keeping my ex

Chapter 113

Kelly’s POVDid he just walk out on me again and think a kiss will suffice? This is not the Alex I knew, I'm supposed to understand but I don't want to keep blaming the pregnancy but I'm stressed!.I'm tired of actually sitting home all day, going to the hospital it's fucking the same routine and now Alex my soul source old comfort is battling his own demons, I want to help but he keeps shutting me out. God!!!! I needed a break. A long one. Preferably one that involved me on a beach, sipping something cold, and watching the waves roll in.But since that wasn’t happening, I figured retail therapy would do.I grabbed my purse and left the house, ignoring the way Alex was still brooding over his mother’s sudden reappearance in his life. I wanted to be there for him, I really did, but there was only so much moody silence I could take before I started losing my mind.The driver, a well-built man named Chris, was already waiting beside the car when I stepped outside. He opened the door, bu

Chapter 114

Kelly’s POVThe problem with being married to a stubborn man was that he thought he could bulldoze through life by ignoring emotions, the only thing that has his emotions is me and shutting me out is not a big deal I guess.Unfortunately for Alex, I was equally stubborn—and much louder.I lay awake that night, staring at the ceiling, listening to Alex’s even breathing. But I knew better. He wasn’t asleep. He was too still. His body was too tense. His mind was spinning, and he was doing that thing where he thought he could outthink reality.I sighed, shifting slightly. “Are you going to tell me what’s going on, or do I have to start throwing pillows at your head until you break?”Silence.I smirked. "Okay, pillow attack it is."His large hand shot out, catching my wrist before I could reach for one. "Go to sleep, Kelly, I'm not in the mood for this right now, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me""Not happening, buddy." I twisted my wrist free and propped myself on my elbow. "You

Chapter 115

Alex’s POVI had braced myself for this. I had told myself that seeing her again, after all these years wouldn’t affect me.And yet, the second I walked into that room, I felt like I was back in my father’s hospital room, watching the man I had once admired wither away, that day I blamed my mother for leaving us.Except this time, it wasn’t my father lying in that bed. It was her.And she looked… weak.That disappointed me more than it should have.As a child I had spent my entire life seeing my mother as an immovable force. A woman too cold, too cruel to be anything less than powerful. Apart from my father's dirty business I wanted to be successful so that when she comes for me again I'll be too successful and want nothing with her But now, she was just… frail.Small.Like time and illness had finally humbled her in ways that nothing else ever could.I had expected to feel anger.Hatred.But instead, there was just disgust, not at her, but at myself for caring.She looked up at me wi

Chapter 116

Alex’s POVLying in bed, staring at the ceiling, I found myself trapped in a loop of thoughts.I had agreed to give my mother my bone marrow.Me.The same man who had vowed never to give her anything, not my forgiveness, not my attention, and certainly not a part of my body.And yet, here I was, waiting for the morning to come so I could get tested and see if I was a match.“Alex, you’re thinking too much.”Kelly’s voice was soft, almost drowsy, but she still reached for me, placing a warm hand on my arm. I turned to look at her.“I can’t help it,” I admitted.She shifted closer, resting her head on my chest. “It’s going to be okay.”I let out a humorless chuckle. “I hope so.”Her fingers traced lazy patterns on my skin, soothing in a way I didn’t deserve.“Do you want me to come with you tomorrow?” she asked.I hesitated for a second before shaking my head. “Nah, sit this one out. I need to deal with it alone.”She sighed dramatically. “Fine. But don’t come home acting all moody. I a

Chapter 117

Kelly’s POVI was in the middle of folding my clothes when my phone rang. Seeing Alex’s name on the screen, I wiped my hands on my dress and answered.“Hey, you,” I greeted, smiling. But something in the way he exhaled made my smile fade.“I’m not a match.”I frowned. “What?”“For the transplant,” he clarified. His voice was tight, like he was forcing the words out. “I got tested, and I’m not a match.”I sat down on the edge of the bed, processing this. I knew how much he had struggled with the decision to even take the test. He’d spent the entire night tossing and turning, questioning whether he even wanted to help his mother. Now, after all that emotional turmoil, the decision had been taken away from him.“Oh, Alex…”“I feel… bad,” he admitted. “I don’t even know why. It’s not like I owe her anything, but hearing the doctor say it out loud—it just hit different.”I chewed my lip. “Come home,” I said gently.“I can’t.”I sighed. “Why?”“She had a seizure,” he said after a pause. “Th

Chapter 118

Kelly’s POVI rested my head against Alex’s chest, inhaling his familiar scent, a mix of cologne and something uniquely him. But even as I held onto him, I could feel the tension rolling off him in waves.“You say it’s not about revenge,” I murmured, tracing small circles on his shirt. “But Alex, I see it in your eyes. The way your jaw tightens whenever Tyson’s name comes up. You’re not just looking for him to just tell him he did wrongly, you want to make him pay.”Alex exhaled sharply. “Damn right, I do, I know she's my mother but what sort of man steals from his own family he has failed to fend for.”I pulled back, searching his face. “And then what? After you find him? After you do whatever it is you’re planning? Will it bring you peace? Just turn a blind eye, his children might feel bad don't you think?”His gaze flickered away for a brief moment before locking onto mine again. “It will bring me peace, my mother too will be happy.”I shook my head. “No, Alex. You don’t get to lie

Chapter 119

Alex’s POVI was in my office when my phone buzzed with a call from Nora. I immediately answered, bracing myself for whatever news she had.“Alex,” she started, her voice carrying a hint of excitement. “Mom’s stable. The doctors said she’s doing much better.”I exhaled, tension easing from my shoulders. “That’s great news, Nora.”“She even asked about you,” Nora added, and that caught me off guard.“She did?”“Yeah,” she chuckled. “She wants to see you, Alex. Maybe it’s time.”I hesitated. After everything, I wasn’t sure how I felt about visiting her. But before I could overthink it, Kelly, who had been going through some random books on my shelf, looked up at me curiously.“What’s going on?” she asked.“Nora just called,” I said, rubbing the back of my neck. “Mom’s feeling better.”Kelly’s face lit up. “That’s amazing! Can we go see her?”I blinked. “You really want to?”“Of course,” she said, placing a hand on her belly. “She’s still your mother, Alex. And maybe… she’d like to meet

Chapter 120

Kelly's POVI woke up to the rustling of bags and the soft clatter of hangers. Blinking the sleep from my eyes, I turned to see Alex placing several shopping bags on the dresser, a satisfied smirk on his face. I felt too he"What is all this?" I asked, sitting up."Just a few things for my beautiful fiancée and our little Ivy," he replied, pulling out a delicate pastel blue dress, the fabric shimmering under the soft morning light. "Thought you could wear this for the baby shower."My heart swelled, and without thinking, I launched myself at him, nearly knocking us both off the bed. "Alex!" I squealed, peppering his face with kisses. "How did I get so lucky?"He laughed, his arms wrapping around me. "I think I'm the lucky one."I pulled back slightly, a teasing grin on my lips. "You know, if I didn’t feel like a giant marshmallow, I’d totally ravish you right now."Alex chuckled, brushing a stray lock of hair from my face. "Oh, I can wait, sweetheart. You just keep being the gorgeous,
