Mark barged inside Ian's mansion followed by Chloe who immediately looked around for Mia. Just then, Mia emerged to the living room and saw Mark marching towards Alex's study. She tried stopping him, but he was in no mood to listen, pouting she looked away feeling dejected, but then someone hugged her from behind and instantly a smile spread on her face realising who it was. "Chloe," Mia gleed happily, and hugged her tightly to which Chloe laughed at her childishness but hugged her back. "How are you? And the kids?" Mia asked as they sat on the couch. Chloe was observing her, and she looked somewhat different to her. There was a different kind of glow on her face and she looked happy. "We all are good. You tell me, why are you glowing so much?" She asked curiously, and a grin settled on Mia's face. "Is it visible?" Mia asked in return with an excited grin on her face. She had unconsciously kept a hand on her stomach, a gesture Chloe had noticed. "Yes," She answered, still scr
The results were positive. She is pregnant. Even though she had it in her instincts, having it officially declared by the doctor had made her ecstatic. As expected, Alex had his cold face on even when the doctor had smiled and congratulated them on the news. It didn't affect her, but the doctor was sure giving them weird looks. As they reached home, Alex sought out some work on his phone and Mia was confused as to why he wasn't leaving for his work. Only when he finished the call, he turned to her, she knew something was up because he only talked to her when there was something important to talk about. "I've appointed a full time caretaker for you, who will be here by tomorrow. She will be with you the whole day, so if you need anything, tell her." He informed her, and she felt a little bit hurt realising she couldn't even show her mood swings to him because he would not want her to unnecessarily bother him. "But what if I want to go out for a walk or some yoga class? You said
She stood there with her stiff back facing him, and she waited for him to say something. When he didn't say anything after a few minutes, she took a step ahead to leave. "Mia," he called, she stopped and frowned in annoyance. Why couldn't he say what he wanted to and then let her go. She slowly turned around and looked at him. "Stay away from Mark." He warned, and a chuckle escaped her lips but she immediately pursed her lips. "You think this is funny?" He asked in a hard tone, and she nodded a no innocently. She just laughed because of his off topic. She was here thanking him for appointing Rachel as her caretaker, and he was telling her to stay away from his friend? What was wrong with him? When she glanced at him, he was still burning holes through his eyes, so she composed herself and looked at him and asked him, "Why are you telling me this, Mr. Ian?" She asked genuinely curious at his demand or warning whatever he called it. Alex looked at her for a few seconds and then
Six months passed, and Mia was more than happy in these months because she always had Rachel and Chloe by her side. Fortunately for her, Alex was staying at home, the reason which is still unknown to her, but he hadn't made his presence too known even though he was living with her. The one thing that made her guilty was avoiding Mark. He used to visit the mansion quite often but every time she would see him, she would either avert her eyes or leave the room. It wasn't as if he tried talking to her as well. He kept his distance from her and she did the same, although unwillingly. She tried to concentrate only on herself and the baby, and it was successful to quite an extent. A small yet visible bump was seen now that she was 17 weeks pregnant, and when Chole had seen it she couldn't stop gushing over it. It felt like the tiny being inside her had already wrapped everyone around her/his pinky figure except the father of course because she doubted that he had even noticed the bump.
The next day, Alex sat in his study working on an important project when his phone rang. He adjusted his bluetooth, and answered the call as his eyes remained on his laptop. "Yes, George," He said, as his fingers worked on the keyboard. He sure was managing all the work from home, but it wasn't that easy considering he couldn't keep an eye on what was happening at the company. "Sir, I hope you remember that you have to attend Mr. Peter's business party today at 8 pm." George reminded, and Alex stopped typing. "When did you ever inform me about this?" His chilling tone was enough for George to stutter on the other end. "Sir, I informed you about it yesterday night, and you asked me to remind you today." George said, as he prayed to God that he would remember about it and spare him. Alex vaguely remembered about his call and just hummed, making George sigh in relief. "Also, sir, you'll have come with your partner." George's nervous voice came through the phone, and Alex raised hi
Mia's excited mood had been successfully ruined by Alexander, and that is always confirmed. He will be the only one who can turn her mood from sweet to sour in less than a minute. Currently, the four of them were travelling to where Mia was earlier heading to, but with her grumpy mood. Rachel and Mia sat at the back seat. Whereas, Mark sat beside Alex who drove the car. "Are you going to tell me where you want to go or I have to keep driving aimlessly?" Alex's voice broke the silence in the car, but all of them thought that the silence was better. Mia gave him a sharp look before she snapped at him, "Before this, you never asked where I wanted to go." Alex's grip on the steering wheel tightened, as he gave her a cold stare through the mirror and Mia saw it but ignoring it, she looked out of the window. "Mia, where to?" It was Mark this time who had turned around in his seat and asked her softly. Mia looked at him and sighed. "You know where Mark," She simply said, and Mark frow
Mark stumbled as he stepped inside the Ian mansion. He frowned and looked behind at the step that he just missed. Right then he smacked his head into the door which he knew was there before. "When was this door fixed here?" He cursed, rubbing the part where it hurt and glared at the door before moving past it. Walking into Alex's room, he found him sitting on his bed with his laptop. Glaring hard at him, he marched towards him and shut his laptop angrily. "Why the fuck did you call me when all you wanted to do was work? And when the hell did you fix that door over there?" Mark hissed, and Alex just raised his eyebrows. "Are you drunk?" Alex questioned, purposely to irritate him and as expected Mark narrowed his eyes at him. "I would've killed you here, at this chance, but I care about your unborn baby, so I'm sparing you." Mark said arrogantly, and plopped on the bed beside him. "Now spill!" Mark ordered, and Alex rolled his eyes. "Will I be a good father?" Alex asked, It wa
Mia glared hard at Alex, as she pushed him away rudely though not harshly because she had to take care of herself as well. Alex stumbled back, and glanced at her with his steely eyes. "How dare you Mr. Ian. Do you think all of this is a joke? Does the world revolve only around you? You think it works according to your commands and wishes?" She lashed out angrily, her eyes held the fury as she eyed him with hatred. "Get this thing in your twisted mind, Mr. Ian, people do have feelings, they have their own wishes and they won't work according to your wishes. I refuse to marry you now and every time you ask me." She blurted out, as she took a deep breath in, as she ended up announcing her decision which is final. "Enough, if I don't say anything doesn't mean I'll go on listening to your rambles. Neither do I hold any interest in you romantically nor do I intend to fulfil any marriage duties if we get married.” Alex muttered. “I asked you to marry me only for the sake of my child and
