Bella

I woke up slowly, nestled against Alex’s warm chest, his arm draped protectively around my very pregnant belly. At nearly seven months with twins, my body felt heavy and full, but there was a deep, quiet contentment in it now. The strange incidents from weeks ago had faded, and life had settled into a gentle rhythm that felt almost too good to be true.

Alex stirred beside me, pressing a soft kiss to my shoulder. “Morning, beautiful,” he murmured, his hand sliding over my belly. “How are m

  • Loving my fathers best friend    Chapter 184; High risk, Higher hope.

    BellaMonday morning arrived with a nervous energy that hummed beneath my skin. Emily had already bounded off to the school bus with her backpack and a big hug, leaving the house quieter than usual. Alex wasn’t going into the office today. He had taken the day off so we could go to the hospital together. I was grateful for that facing this alone felt impossible.We drove in comfortable silence, his hand resting on my thigh. Every now and then he would squeeze gently, a silent reminder that we were in this together. My mind kept drifting to the two pink lines from the test. Another baby. The thought filled me with equal parts joy and fear. I rubbed my stomach subconsciously, even though there was no visible change yet.it being too early still plagued my mind, how would I possibly handle two toddlers. At the hospital, the waiting room felt both too bright and too small. Alex held my hand the entire time, his thumb stroking soothing circles on my skin. When my name was called, we walke

  • Loving my fathers best friend    Chapter 183; The announcement

    The evening sun cast a golden glow over the Reed household as Bella and Alex prepared for their guests. The table was set with care fine china, fresh flowers, and candles that flickered softly. The aroma of a lavish meal filled the air: roasted chicken with herbs, buttery mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, and a rich dessert chilling in the fridge. A bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling wine stood ready for the toast. Tonight was special. Tonight, they would share the news that had been quietly transforming their lives.Bella moved around the kitchen with a nervous excitement, her hand occasionally drifting to her still-flat stomach. Alex came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing a kiss to her neck.“Relax, baby,” he murmured. “They’re going to be thrilled.”She leaned back into him, smiling. “I know. I’m just… emotional. It feels big.”The doorbell rang. Margaret and Robert arrived first, followed closely by Mia. Emily bounced with excitement at seeing her gr

  • Loving my fathers best friend    Chapter 182; pink lines

    BellaThree days had passed since I last stepped foot in the office, and the exhaustion had only deepened. I thought the morning sickness the sudden waves of nausea that hit me without warning would fade after the first couple of days. Instead, it lingered, joined by a bone-deep tiredness that made even simple tasks feel monumental. My body felt slow, sluggish, like I was moving through thick honey. I had called in to work, telling them I needed a few days to rest. Alex had been nothing but supportive, taking on more with the girls and encouraging me to listen to my body. But I hated feeling this way. I missed the rhythm I had just started finding again.This particular evening, I lay in our bedroom with Amie curled up beside me on the bed, her tiny body warm and trusting against my side. I had barely managed to keep my eyes open after lunch. The house was quiet except for the occasional sound of Alex helping Emily with her homework downstairs. I drifted in and out of a light doze, on

  • Loving my fathers best friend    Chapter 181; A quiet day.

    BelkaA month and a few weeks had slipped by since I returned to the office, and the new rhythm of our lives had become surprisingly comfortable. Mornings were structured but warm. Evenings were full of family laughter and quiet moments with Alex. Work felt fulfilling again, and home felt like the safe harbor I had fought so hard to protect. Everything was moving forward steadily, gently, beautifully.This particular morning, however, I woke up later than usual. Sunlight was already pouring through the curtains, and the house felt unusually quiet. I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes, and glanced at the empty space beside me where Alex usually was. A wave of tiredness washed over me as I swung my legs out of bed. My body felt heavy, like I hadn’t fully rested despite sleeping through the night.I padded downstairs in my robe and found Alex in the kitchen, already dressed for work and packing Emily’s lunch. The smell of fresh coffee filled the air.“Why didn’t you wake me?” I asked, voice

  • Loving my fathers best friend    Chapter 180; Saturday morning.

    BellaWe barely made it upstairs before Alex locked the bedroom door behind us with a soft click that sent anticipation racing through my veins. He turned to me slowly, eyes dark with desire, and pushed me gently onto the bed. I landed on my back, heart pounding as he climbed over me, still fully clothed while I was already aching and bare beneath him.His hands moved with deliberate reverence, peeling my clothes away piece by piece. My top slipped over my head. My skirt and panties slid down my legs until I lay completely naked before him. He took his time looking at me, his gaze tracing every curve like he was memorizing me all over again.“God, you’re beautiful,” he whispered, voice rough.He lowered himself onto me, his weight a delicious pressure. His mouth found one nipple, sucking it deeply and passionately into the heat of his mouth. I moaned loudly, back arching as pleasure shot straight between my legs. He sucked harder, tongue swirling, while his hand teased the other breas

  • Loving my fathers best friend    Chapter 179; Two weeks in

    BellaTwo weeks had passed since I returned to the office, and life had settled into a rhythm that felt surprisingly sustainable.Mornings were still a beautiful kind of chaos packing lunches, dropping Amie at my parents’ house, hugging Emily before the school bus came. Evenings brought the girls home, Alex walking through the door, and the four of us becoming a family again under one roof. So far, everything was thriving. Amie hadn’t had any surprise hospital visits. Emily actually looked forward to her time at Grandma’s. Alex and I were stronger than ever. And my father… he couldn’t have been prouder.This particular Monday started like the others, but by mid-morning the energy in the office shifted. I had a big meeting scheduled with a potential high-value client Mr. Adeyemi, a businessman from Nigeria with multiple commercial buildings, investment accounts, and a growing portfolio. Sarah had prepped me well, but my nerves still buzzed as I gathered my files and PowerPoint slides.W

    RobertI stood at the front door of Alex’s house the next morning, my hand hovering over the doorbell. The call from him last night had kept me awake for hours his voice raw, broken, filled with a pain I recognized all too well. He had no one else to turn to. Bella was lost in her grief. Emily wa

Now it only fueled the fire raging inside my chest.How dare he?How dare Alex Reed think he could just move on and build a perf

    Alex Sunlight streamed through the half-open curtains, warming my skin as I slowly woke up. The first thing I noticed was the soft, steady breathing beside me.
