Sofia.My veins popped out in shock, Alexander stood in front, hand held tightly both of them in matching outfit, her heels complementing his suit.She smiled at me, a wicked smile, a smile a predator winks at it prey before devouring it.“Alex_”. I scoffed, my gaze fixed.Why was she here?Why was she exchanging pleasantries with my staff?“Sofia, I'm sorry am late”“Shall we begin”. Alexander said unapologetically, like I didn't deserve an apology or an explanation to why she was in my father's company at this crucial time.“Begin what?”. I blurtter, feeling disgusted at their presence.The staffs whispering, exchanging confused gaze.“This meeting is over, you meet me in my office”. I dismissed them, before they could raise from there seat.“Hold it”. Alexexander muttered.Alexander rang the bell, signaling he still had something to say.“Well as you all know, my wife here as transferee ownership legally to me as the acting CEO, henceforth you all will obey my orders he paused for

I stared at the message that flashed across my phone screen again—a hidden number. “Alex…” I murmured beneath him, my breath still unsteady from what we’d just done. Instead of answering, he leaned down and kissed me deeply, passionately. A kiss meant to silence me, stop me from talking. “Shhh,” he whispered, his lips brushing mine. From the corner of my eye, my whole body was set ablaze—what did I just see? A few minutes later, we lay tangled near the sofa that had been used for more than just sitting. His breath was fast, his whole body dripping with sweat. Then he reached for my heels, placing them beside me using his thumb to brush my lip—he was done. I pushed myself up slowly, my chest still rising and falling. “Alex” He paused at the bedroom doorway, still completely naked, and turned to face me with a crooked grin. “Come on, baby,” he said. “You nearly passed out just now, and you’re already asking for round two”. I smiled broadly. Not knowing how to react

Tonia.” Her name slipped from my lips in surprise. She was standing in the living room like a ghost, so early in the morning that it made my heart skip. The court wedding wasn’t for another hour. Alexander had introduced her as his only sister. Seeing her here so soon had warmed me, made me believe I was stepping into a family that already loved me. Or so I thought. “The bride-to-be,” Tonia said with a dazzling smile, pulling me into a soft embrace. Her perfume lingered in the air—a sweet, misty fragrance. And that dres, she looked breathtaking. For a fleeting second, I thought she could have been the bride instead of me. Her hair was twisted into a loose bun, tendrils framing her face like whispers, her makeup perfectly melting into her glowing skin. Everything about her screamed elegance. “You and Alex are more excited than the bride,” I teased, laughing lightly. “Of course. I can’t wait to be an aunt,” she replied with a playful wink, and we both laughed. Tonia did

Ariel and I turned, and my world stopped rotating for a moment.From that moment, everything changed. I was trapped.He was there.Alexander Grey.My husband.The man my heart beats for, even though it was glaring that I meant nothing to him.He didn't cling to me to ask how I was faring after losing my baby, he stood inches away as always….with Tonia Marcus, his hand thrown over her waist like a queen next to her king."Mother, you can leave now. I'll take it from here."His voice was calm, and commanding slicing through the room like a blade.The last time he spoke to me in that tone was the night before I transferred my inheritance to him.I remembered vividly, the memories never left no matter how hard I tried.Alexander kissed my feet, promising me he would take a bullet for me if it meant losing me.He whispered sweet loving words to my yearning soul.If only I were calm enough to see it was all a facade, a game and I was the main target of both ends.His mother obeyed without h

THE NIGHT EVERYTHING CHANGED.The walls of the hospital looked like it was moving, my sight blurry, my eyes closing gradually.The nurses were running in opposite directions and the doctor was hitting my thighs.My strength is failing me " Save me, lord". I whispered.Please, Samuel ….Please, save my baby".My hand reached for the man I called my husband, but he moved away before I could grab him, and tears streamed down my cheek.Darkness threatened to overpower me, and I fought with all the strength in me to keep my eyelids open that cursed night. A night that the hurtful memories clung to me like breath.Then like a wave, the pain hit me blowing me off balance.It felt like a thousand needles being pierced into my body from the inside out. My whole body shivered, then the weight of something above my strength made me wail harder.I pushed. Twice as hard as I did the first time.I felt the baby's head….But I never saw what she looked like…I was deprived of the joy of holding her in
