MasukJULIANMy eyes widened, and my heart raced violently. Looking at the water that got closer with each passing second, I felt like my body was devoid of blood and panic rose from my chest. Splash!My body hit the water, and water splashed everywhere. I swan around in panic, unable to control myself and the heaviness that came with the sudden fall. Fortunately, I didn't hit anything in the water, but that didn't reduce the fear in my heart as... I couldn't swim!My head was slowly drowning in the water. I frantically tried to call for help but swallowed water instead. My stomach lurched. Fear and panic grew stronger from within. Along with them came regret. I should have listened to Xavier and Abel. I shouldn't have stepped out alone. I shouldn't have been so lost in thought that I fell into the water... now, who would protect my baby?Who would save me?My right hand went to my belly while my left hand continued moving in the water, trying to pull myself out. Someone needed to
JULIAN I initially thought it would be difficult for me to act out the scene with the discomfort in my chest and my average acting. But I was wrong. Seeing the disgusting acting of Fred and the female lead who was crying but whose eyes showed she was enjoying it, I could barely keep my anger under control. Everything made me wonder if the actress acting as the female lead was being naive or plainly stupid. The scene could have been acted with sense. Fred didn't need to show so much of her breasts publicly if he truly loved her as she thought. He would have protected her even more. But that wasn't the case. Not only did Fred almost expose her entire breasts publicly, but he even slid his hand into her panties while she also looked like she was enjoying it. My anger blared and watching became difficult as time passed. Seeing that it was time to act, I moved, but the female lead's pleading eyes, which seemed to say I shouldn't move, made me sit back. I clenched my fingers around
JULIAN "You should probably go to the hospital after today's shoot." Abel proposed. I nodded in agreement. "I thought it would be easy to endure, but it really wasn't." I lamented. With my eyes closed, I rested my mind as Abel drove down to the set. Thankfully, we were able to get there early and didn't waste the other's time. Director James approached us with a big smile on his face. His eyes were filled with reverence as he bowed slightly. "Mr Julian, hope you are better now?" He asked softly. My eyes squinted, confusion blaring within me. What caused the change?What I expected was really different from this. While I knew Director James would no longer curse me out, as Xavier had invested even more in the drama, I at least expected a bad look from him. This...It made me feel a bit uncomfortable. "Mr Xavier told us to take things easy with you today as you are still unwell. Don't worry. We can use a body double for the difficult parts, and you can rest assured that nothing
JULIANI had no choice but to wait helplessly as Xavier returned from the kitchen with the tea flask in hand. He handed it over to Abel, who actively received it and hugged it to his chest. Xavier walked over, his hands curled around my waist, and he planted a soft kiss on my forehead. "You should take care at the set. Don't let anyone trouble you too much." He muttered. I nodded along. Anything he said. He already gave me the ginger tea anyway. Xavier seemed to notice my mood as he gently captured my lips with his. He sucked and licked. "I will check up on you in the afternoon." He promised. A frown immediately settled on my face. "No," I mumbled. "You shouldn't come." Xavier raised a brow. "Why?" He asked. I took a step back, pressing my hands on his chest as I shook my head. "No one should know about us. Remember?" His expression changed. His softened eyes flickered, and he turned his head away. "I understand." He muttered. Seeing his reaction, my heart beat quickened. My
JULIANXavier soon returned with a blue cup in hand. Even from a distance, I could already perceive the heavy scent of ginger that wafted dangerously in the air. My stomach growled, but to my annoyance, it didn't reject it. Instead, the smell alone made me feel comforted. The lingering discomfort in my chest seemed to dissipate, and when he handed over the cup, I no longer had a reason to fight him. I lowered my head to the warmly made ginger tea, held my nose to stop the scent from wafting into my nose, closed my eyes to stop myself from seeing the tea, and then drank it in slow sips. Xavier stood before me. His presence made it impossible for me to drop the cup without drinking enough. After a while, I dropped the almost empty cup on my lap and held out my tongue, feeling disgruntled. Xavier bent forward, captured my tongue, and calmly sucked. Blush crept to my cheeks, and a low moan escaped my throat. After a while, he stood right, collected the cup from me, and stroked my
JULIANI bent over the toilet, throwing up everything I'd eaten last night. My throat felt painful, and holding my stomach, I couldn't stop gagging. Reflexive tears escaped my eyes. Xavier patted my back gently. "Sorry." He whispered as he helped brush my hair off my face. I staggered backward, only to be held by Xavier. My breathing turned ragged. My fingers wiped the stain off my mouth, but I was too exhausted to think about what to do next. Xavier held my hand, and soon, water poured on it. His warmth covered my hands as he carefully washed. After that, he carried me out of the bathroom. "I think it's the morning sickness. But to be certain, we still need to call the doctor." Xavier explained as he helped me sit on a couch in the sitting room. I nodded, still trying to steady my breathing. But something felt wrong. The morning sickness shouldn't start this early... right?It was only three weeks...But then again, maybe it was just my luck. It wasn't like my luck had ever
