Chapter: Chapter 21Chapter 21Alexander POVI stood in front of the mirror. I just stood there and stared. I didn’t move. I just looked at myself. My face, my eyes, my mouth. I slowly touched my lips with my fingers and a slow smile lit up my lips."Did I really fall for her?" I asked myself.I laughed a little. Is that even possible? Falling for her? Even if it were true, I don't believe I have fallen for someone in the spanse of two day's. It was unbelievable."This was supposed to be a quiet trip for me . It was supposed to be just rest, no stress, noise, no five hours-board meeting, no paperwork to attend to, no emails to read and approve, no appointment but rest, just the beach, the water, the wind. That’s all I came for," I said.But now everything has changed. I didn’t plan this. I didn’t see it coming. I didn’t expect her to. If anyone had told me I will coming back to New York with a wife, I would have gone as far as locking the person up for a conspiracy but here we are, I am married, my paren

Chapter: Chapter 20Chapter 20I stared at him. My mouth slightly opened. Did he just ask that? Did he just say he wants to kiss me?He looked at me again. “Can I kiss you?” he asked again as if reading my mind.I didn’t know what to say. My body froze for a second. Then, before I could think too much, I nodded.I agreed to him kissing me, maybe I wanted it too, maybe I didn’t want to stop it.He smiled a little and pulled me gently. I ended up sitting on his lap. My heart was beating fast. My heart rate has not been normal for the past few hours. My hands didn’t know where to stay, maybe it should stay on his neck or wrapped around his waist.It was not as if I was new to all these but doing it with a man I don't know anything about was….He looked at me closely. His eyes were serious as his face came close. His lips touched mine gently at first, just light.I didn’t look at him. I couldn’t.He touched my cheek with his hand. His thumb rubbed my skin softly and gently ignited fire all over my body.“You

Chapter: Chapter 19Chapter 19Alexander's POV I looked at her. She looked serious. Her eyes stayed on me. Her lips moved, but no sound came first.“I’m pregnant.” she finally said the heavy words.I blinked and my chest stopped for a second. I didn’t expect it. I didn’t even know what to say. I stood there, just staring at her face. I couldn’t speak.She looked down, like she was scared, like she was waiting for me to shout or walk away.I took a deep breath and then I sighed.“Don’t abort it,” I said.She looked up fast. “What?”“I said don’t abort the baby,” I said again. “Keep it. I don’t care if it’s not mine.”Her mouth opened slightly. “But… it’s not your baby. I didn’t even…”“I know it’s not mine,” I said. “But I don’t want you to get rid of it.”She kept quiet but I walked closer and sat beside her.“Listen,” I said. “Nobody has to know the baby isn’t mine, not my parents, not my friends, nt the media, nobody.”She opened her mouth again but didn’t say anything.“I’ll take responsibility,” I s

Chapter: Chapter 18Chapter 18Sara's POV Alexander held my hand tight. He didn’t let go as we walked to the room. We didn’t talk on the way. I just kept thinking about his mom and his family. The way they all turned up for his unexpected wedding and made it something memorable and fantastic, about the way his mother smiled and heartwarming welcoming. About the card she gave me even though it was not necessary, but giving it to me meant something to me, it melted my heart that she really cared and would love me to always call and talk to her, about the way they all welcomed me like I was already one of them even though they never knew me with Alexander from the start.When we got inside the room, I sat on the bed slowly. My legs felt weak, the pregnancy was taking its toll on me. I had forgotten I was pregnant and stood all through the evening ceremony. my heart was beating fast all of a sudden and to be honest I didn’t know why.Alexander came and squatted in front of me. He looked into my eyes. He smi

Chapter: Chapter 17Chapter 17Sara's POV I didn’t know what to say. My mouth stayed open and my heart beat fast. I just stood there and stared at her. Alexander’s mother had really asked me when I would have a baby. A baby? I hadn’t even gotten over the wedding. I was still thinking about the sudden arranged wedding ceremony, the dress, the guests, the vows. Now she was talking about children?Who the hell does that? Well I guess she doesn't know anything about me and her son…had it been she knows all this was just a facade and something born out of my recklessness, she would not ask for a child.I tried to speak, but nothing came out. My mind could not even process a lie to her. I could not blame myself for acting dumb, the question came as a shock to me. I could not process anything at all.Alexander stepped in fast. “Mom,” he said. “You’re going too fast. Don't you think you are asking a big question? That’s between us. Let’s not rush anything. Okay when she takes in, we will inform you okay, be res

Chapter: Chapter 16Chapter 16Alexander's POVThe pastor said I could kiss the bride. I didn’t wait. I leaned in and kissed her. I felt her freeze. She didn’t move. She didn’t push me away either but I pulled back slowly. I smirked a little. I liked the way she reacted.I looked at her. She looked at me for a second. Then she looked away fast. She didn’t want to meet my eyes. I didn’t say anything. I just turned to face the people.Everyone started clapping. Some people shouted "congratulations." Others smiled. Some were taking pictures. I saw lights flashing. There were so many eyes on us. I didn’t like attention, but today was different. I had to stay in control. I had to act like everything was fine.Sara looked at her hand. She kept staring at the ring. I looked at her. She didn’t say anything. I wondered why she kept looking at it like that. I wanted to ask but I didn’t.One of the hotel staff came to us. He asked us to come to the lounge. I nodded. I turned to Sara."Let’s go," I said. "We should
