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
A week passed, and Mia still hadn't given her answer to Alex while he waited patiently. He had not bugged her after their conversation about the marriage, and true to his words had accompanied her to the doctor for the regular checkup.It surprised Mia and somehow irritated her as well, she wasn't used to this side of him and it was more confusing.Her relationship with Mark was now a little better than before.They were not avoiding each other, at least, and that is the first step.The more she thought about the marriage, the more she found his reasoning logical.For their own benefits and egos, they couldn't ruin the life of their child, who had absolutely no mistake in this.Yes, she would be ready to do anything for her child to provide her or him with a secured future, but what about her?What about her wishes? Didn't she have a right to find a person who loved her and valued her? What was she going to do in this fake, loveless marriage?All her life until now, she lived for her
It was past eight thirty, and most of the staff had gone home, while some were preparing to go home.A few workers were still roaming around, as Chloe packed her things and moved out of the building.It wasn't too late, but she was tired already.She didn't want to walk even a step, but she had to.She waited for five minutes to hire a cab, but was frustrated every time the driver refused to take her to the place or the cab was occupied.Can she get some peace?A honk of a car made her jump on her place, and she looked sideways only to find Mark's car there.She stared at the car for a few seconds before looking away for a cab.A minute later, he honked again, which irritated her, but she controlled herself to go and lash out at him. But how could he leave her alone? When she continued looking for a cab, he honked yet again, and this time she gritted her teeth in annoyance.She marched towards his car and knocked on his window. Mark rolled it down and looked at her while she glared at
MIA'S POV After our visit to the hospital, Alex has been so nice to me, taking care of me in the little way he can. I was in the sitting room with Alex surfing through, when we heard noises outside. It can't be me the person wants to visit. I'm very sure because Chole is my only friend and almost all the guards know her now, and she has easy passage into the house now. When the noise didn't die down, Alex stood up to go outside to check what was going on. As he reached the entrance and was about to open the door, a lady burst into the living room with a little boy with her. The door almost hit Alex. I looked at the person strangely and looked back at what I was watching, because I don't know the person nor have I come across the person, they must be Alex visitor. “What do you want? Rebecca,” Alex asked, he was full of anger. His facial expression has changed, he looks like someone ready to burst. “I'm not going to ask the second time. What do you want, Ella?” Alex asked for th
