Chapter 15Melissa sighed in her mind. No matter how Alex tried to mask his emotion, she knew him too well.Kristen smiled confidently and even before Melissa could say a word, he said, "We are expecting a baby soon, so she has to avoid alcohol for sometime." Alex froze on his seat. He clenched his fist and grinded on his teeth.Kristen was a bloody bastard.Alex shot Melissa a surprise look. How could she be expecting a baby and a happy relationship when she ruined his life.Kristen's explanation got everyone on the table smiling, except Alex of course.Kristen glanced at Melissa and gave her hand a squeeze under the table, making her smile a bit.No one on that table suspected that anything was wrong.Melissa wasn't the least comfortable and that was because Alex was on the same table. His eyes kept monitoring hers and she discovered that each time she looked at him, his eyes stayed on hers.The air couldn't be more akward for Melissa even though Kristen couldn't understand.Abigai
Chapter 16Alex didn't usually talk to people often but he decided to talk to Killian about Melissa. that was the only person he could talk to about this."What do you think I should do to get Melissa pained the most? What I don't understand is that she doesn't seem to care about me.""I can't say, Alpha, since I haven't been near her before.""Can you be useful this once, is it only when you know someone that you know what to do with them.""But sir, if I may ask, why do you hate her so much." Killain knew that he had broken th mate bond with his mte because she allegedly cheated on him but he rejected her, wasn't it enough for them to be even."What will you do if your ex comes back with the fruit of her fornication - a child and yet she is not ashamed of herself. When you look at her, she gives you this aloof, nonchalant look.That brought me to think that it is because she feels no pain, she feels she lost nothing, that is why she is acting that way.""But Alpha, you seem like you
Melissa would have called back the private number but that was simply impossible.Alex held little Mia by the hand and made sure to distance herself from him so it was only his hand that touched her tiny girly fingers."I am feeling hungry." She cried."I want to eat""Shut up you little piece of…." Alex managed to stop himself from completing his statement.The littles girl was being annoying, just like her mother."I'll tell my mummy for you." She said, exposing her small sprouting milk teeth.Alex tried to make a call, but the little creature screamed. "I am feeling hungry!" And she started crying actual tears."Somehow, her tears touched him, he couldn't bear to see her cry like that."God damnit, are you being serious right now?"He looked at Killian for help."Alpha, children love chocolate, there's this chocolate I have with me.""You have chocolate and you're watching this kid disturb me. Go get the chocolate."Squatting to the little girl's height, he said, "My baby, you have
Melissa sat at the table with Mia and Kristen.On the dining table was a perfect layout of roast chicken with mash potatoes and gravy and steak kidney pudding.Melissa didn't know why but she usually took pleasure in the arrangement of the food on the table before eating."Daddy," Mia called and Kristen turned to look at her."Mia, he is your uncle. Call him uncle okay."Kristen shifted his gaze at Melissa, and then back at Mia who had just been scolded by her mom. Then, he placed his hand on her hair and rubbed it a little. "Sweetheart, you don't have to listen to mom this once. Call me daddy as much as you want."Melissa chuckled instead and shook her head in disbelief. Her daughter was even closer to Kristen than her."You two keep surprising me everyday."She placed some mashed potatoes closer to Mia and encouraged the little girl to eat more."Daddy, someone tried to hurt mommy." Mia said out loud, and those words immediately made Kristen arch his brows in shock.Melissa on the o
For a few days now, Melissa had been mentally preparing herself on how to break the news about her past relationship with Alex to Kristen.With each nights that passed, she wondered on her bed, what his reaction would be. Was he going to feel hurt, sad, crazy, left out? The questions would just go in and on."Ma'am, I would like two doughnuts with chocolate toppings."A kid ordered, breaking her from her thoughts."Oh darling, wait for me to get it for you, that's the price over there." She pointed to the side where she wrote the prices of all the snacks she prepared.Melissa shouldn't have been the one selling snacks out, it should have been her workers but it was because of the fact that she wanted to get busy that she had to sell the snacks herself even after making them as the head chef.She was the head chef, she was the one who supervised the other to make the food and snackbut sometimes when her workers were not around or they just didn't do something right.Today was one of th
It was time for Melissa and Kristen to go out on the agreed 'date'.Kristen had texted Melissa to get ready on time. He was going to pick her up from work as soon as he was done with what he was doing.A few minutes later, he was done, not because he had nothing else to do but because he always had time for her and he looked forward to seeing her.He entered his car and drive straight for Melissa's restaurant.He would have asked them to hold their date in her restaurant but he knew she was not going to allow him pay for any food they ate."Are you ready?" He asked."Yeah, and when we get there, we must take ice cream, Ive been in the kitchen since forever." "Yeah, sure, I like ice cream more than you do." Kristen said and they both stared at each other. "No, I was the one who told you that Ice cream was my best desert."When they got to the restaurant that Kristen drove them, Melissa sat without saying a word."Come on, say something, what are you gonna eat?" Kristen asked Melissa.
When someone has another person on their mind, every little action and thing that happens seems to remind them a lot of the person they are thinking about, such was the case for Alex.To him It was so unbelievable how Melissa behaved.He remembered when he kicked Mia and he felt bad but the next minute, he quenched his conscience with the fact that it was her mother's words that got him angry.He picked up the phone and called Victoria."Hello, Victoria.""Oh come on, now that we are going to get married pretty soon, why don't you call me something nice or should I say romantic, beauty is a nice name.""Cut to the chase, why couldn't you make it to our destination. I'm sure you won't like it when I start tailing you."Victoria had forgotten that the day she met Hermes was the day Alex asked them to meet."Oh, my bad, I got down on my periods.""I'll schedule another meeting and if you're not present, I'll have to send my men to guide you. I don't want someone betraying me the second t
With all the confidence she could muster, a young lady walked from here to there, trying to pick out some foodstuffs at the grocery store.She picked spinach. That was the last on her list of items to get in the shop.After she paid, she tried to walk away, only to get hit on the forehead by someone who was…a guy."Sorry…sorry, I am sorry." She was so spellbound by the sight in front of her when she raised her face.How could a man created by God be this handsome, he was even more handsome than her personal Korean Idol.She would have gone straight to hug him, ask for his number and fuck him right away but even though she was crazy, she knew better than to disgrace herself.Killian stared at her in amazement, she wasn't the prettiest he had ever seen but she was somewhere there.Perhaps if she removed her baggy sweatpants and the fat canvas she was wearing, she'd look hot.Something about her impressed him though, she apologized to him first when he hadn't even said a word to her.Mos
