ALEX

Liam’s words hit me like a jolt to the chest.

“We want Daddy to stay with us.”

Warmth spread through my chest. Just minutes ago, I’d been feeling so inadequate around them, wondering if they preferred Stefano over me.

But Liam's earnest words had given me some reassurance.

I looked up at Emma, hope flickering somewhere deep inside. I knew I was hoping too much for her to accept, but you never know.

Emma shook her head. “No, sweetheart. Daddy can’t stay.”

Liam frowned. “Why not?”

Emma looked flustered for a bit. She hesitated, then stuttered, “Because… because Daddy needs to go back to his... hotel. He has something to do.”

I'd been expecting her to refuse, but the disappointment still cut through me.

Liam didn’t give up though. “But can Daddy put us to bed?” he asked, looking between us. “You and Daddy. Can Daddy read us a story?”

Liana immediately jumped in. “Yes, please, Mummy.”

They chorused in unison, eyes wide and full of hope. Emma sighed and nodded. “Fine.”

“Yes!” They hig

  • Oops! I Left With The CEO's Heart   Chapter 104

    I woke up with my heart racing and my sheets twisted around my legs.Dreams of Alex's hands on my skin, his voice whispering my name.Not again.I pressed the heels of my palms against my eyes, as if I could physically push the images back into the dark corner of my mind where they belonged.I couldn't afford to keep having these damn dreams.No, more like nightmares. I had no business dreaming of Alex anymore when I was now with Stefano.Forcing myself out of bed, I went to the bathroom to freshen up.After dressing in a simple blue sundress and pulling my hair back into a ponytail, I stepped out of my room.Walking past Celia's bedroom door, I paused. Last night, after Stefano and I made the announcement, Celia barely said anything all throughout dinner and left to go to bed early. I needed to speak to her.Raising my hand, I knocked softly on the door. "Celia?"There was no answer.I knocked again, a little louder this time. "Celia, can I come in?"Still nothing. Frowning, I turned

    EMMA“Who are you with?”My body went rigid at my father's voice, my eyes wide as saucers as Alex and I stared at each other."Emma?" Dad called again, and I could hear the concern creeping into his tone. "Is everything alright? I'm coming in."Pure panic shot through my veins. "No!" I quickly said. "Don't. I'm not... I'm not dressed."God, that sounded terrible. Especially after he'd just asked who I was with. My cheeks burned."I just got out of the shower," I added quickly, hoping it would explain why I might be undressed and talking to myself. Anything that didn't involve a man being in my room.I whirled on Alex, my voice barely a whisper but fierce. "Leave. Right now. I cannot have my father see you in here."Alex's eyes held that infuriating amusement that made me glare at him."Why?" he asked quietly, stepping closer despite my obvious panic. "Are you afraid he'll realize the one you really love is me?""Stop saying nonsense and just please go," I hissed, clutching my towel ti

    ALEXEmma's words made me freeze with shock. Among all the things I expected her to say, that wasn't part of it."You saw us?" I muttered."What? You're shocked that you got caught? Do you think I'm a fucking idiot you can play with as you like?" Emma lashed back, her voice controlled but sharp enough to cut. "How do you even have the guts to say all these things to me when you were just with another woman today?"I should have been worried about how this looked. But God, I was completely captivated by the fire blazing in her eyes, the fury making her voice shake.She was jealous, and the knowledge of that was exhilarating."Emma, things didn't happen the way you thought—" I finally began to say."I don't want to listen to your lies," she cut me off. "The last time Hillary showed up and hugged you, you told me her presence didn't affect you and she was part of your past.""Because that's the truth.""Cut it out." Her voice had begun to rise slightly. "Why can't you just have the guts

    Panic shot through me. My heart slammed against my ribs as I struggled against the arm around me, muffled sounds escaping behind the hand covering my mouth.Then a familiar cologne hit my senses. I recognized who it was even before he spoke."Emma, it's me," he whispered against my ear, his voice low. "Don't scream."He slowly released his hold on me, and I spun around, my hand flying out to smack him hard across the chest."You scared me!" I hissed, my voice hard with irritation."I'm sorry," he said, not looking particularly sorry at all. "But I had to.""What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded, clutching my towel tighter around me. "How did you even get into my room?"I noticed my balcony door open, the curtains moving slightly with the night breeze. My eyes widened as the realization hit me."You climbed up there?" I stared at him in disbelief.A ghost of a smile played at the corners of his mouth. "Do you remember when you were sixteen and asked me to help you sneak back in

    The rest of dinner passed without any more verbal sparring between Alex and Stefano, but that didn't make me any less tense.I found myself picking at my food rather than actually eating it. I was grateful when the meal finally ended.As the maids began clearing the table, we all started moving back toward the living room. To my frustration, Alex seemed to be following along with the group until my mother suddenly stopped and turned to him with a gentle smile."Alex, didn't you come here to see the kids?" she asked. "Gendry mentioned they might be bringing them back quite late, well after dinner time. Why don't you go see them there, or perhaps come by tomorrow instead?"It was obviously an excuse to politely ask him to leave. My mother had obviously noticed how tense I was throughout dinner and was trying to help me out.Alex looked conflicted initially, his gaze flickering between my mother and me. Then he gave a smile that didn't reach his eyes."You're right. I should go."He turn

    “What about you, Alex? Aren't you going to congratulate us?”Everyone turned to look at Alex, and an uncomfortable silence stretched through the room. I held my breath, my heart hammering against my ribs as I watched him.His jaw was tight, his hands clenched at his sides, and for a moment, I thought he might say something hostile.Then he stepped forward and flashed a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Of course. Congratulations to the lovebirds."He and Stefano stared at each other, and the silence that followed was thick with unspoken tension. I felt like I was watching two predators sizing each other up.Thankfully, the silence didn't last too long. One of the househelps walked into the living room."The table is set," she announced cheerfully, completely oblivious to the atmosphere."Perfect timing!" my father declared, clapping his hands together excitedly. "We should celebrate this wonderful news with some good food."I half expected Alex to excuse himself and leave. That would
