"Hey, sweetheart." Alvin' sweet voice drove me out of my slumber.I stretched my arm, yawning. Staring at a shirtless Alvin and realizing I was still naked reminded me of last night and I couldn't help the blush that flushed my face."From that blush, I can tell what you're thinking." He sat on the bed, dropping the tray of food he had on it. "Breakfast in bed."I sat up straight, covering my chest with the duvet. "This is very sweet of you but I don't like eating without brushing my teeth and taking a bath first. You should've known that since you stalked me.""Oh... I guess I didn't stalk you enough then. How 'bout coffee?" He lifted a mug of coffee from the tray.I shrugged, accepting the mug from him. "There's an exception to coffee.""Last night was the first time I've ever made love to anyone in my entire life."I felt heat rise in my cheeks again but still rolled my eyes. "Coming from the playboy?" I scoffed, taking a sip of the coffee."You need to understand that there's a b
My poor heart was throbbing hard. I tried to scream or run but I couldn't seem to move. She quickly wrapped her hand around my wrist, the knife was smiling its sharpness at me like it was ready to slit my throat."Go upstairs and don't say a word." She whispered, glancing around, and started pulling me towards the stairs.I was too scared to even attempt to run so I let her pull me to my room. God, save me. I internally prayed. She shut the door behind her, sauntered to the bed, and gently pushed me to it, shushing me again though I wasn't speaking. Gosh, how could I not have thought of Faith? She had the same red hair as the person who was spying on us at the company. Who else could've known that I cried my eyes out except three of them? There's no way I could've suspected her, I thought she was a good friend. So she was the devil in the disguise of an angel? She glanced around, still pointing the knife at me before her gaze finally rested on me."F-Faith... wh-what's... what's happ
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Robert. You're late for work, as always." Sarah teased.I rolled my eyes at her. "Good afternoon to you too, Sarah Louis. Has Alvin left?""Now she has the right to call him by his name, she's late for work because she's his wife, she's being bossy.""And you're being silly.""I'm so sorry, Mrs. Robert. Please don't make your husband fire me, this job is everything I have." She pleaded jokingly.I shook my head and left her sight, using the elevator to transport me to the 68th floor then got into our office. As expected, Alvin was on his office chair, gazing at his laptop's screen. I dropped my bag on the chair and walked up to him, folding my arms across my chest."Samantha, when did you arrive?" He raised his head to me with a smile, immediately returning his gaze to his laptop."Just now.""And you're late again.""Duh...""You're always so punctual because your husband owns the company." He said sarcastically."Very funny," I replied sarcastically too, sittin
~ Samantha ~"Lunch is ready!" I dropped mine and Alvin' tray of food on the dining table and went to where he was sitting on the couch, wrapping my arms around his neck from behind and kissing his cheek."You're such a sweetheart. This side of you makes me feel like smiling forever." He held my hand and faced me. "You made lunch?" He asked like he just heard what I said."Yes, yes, yes.""Wow, I'm so lucky. I love your cooking as much as I love you.""That doesn't make so much sense to me. You love something as much as you love your wife?""Everything about you is loved by me." He kissed my cheek too.He chuckled then we left for the dining table. After having lunch together and chatting for a long time, Faith and two other Maids cleared the table and two others Maids cleared the table while Alvin and I returned to sit on the sofas. He immediately picked up his laptop from the center table but I stopped him and returned it to the table, wrapping my arms around his torso with my head
~ LILA ~It had been a month since we'd been in Dubai but I was still damn scared of France's gentleness. Of course, he had always been a gentle and kind boss but it had become excessive. To worsen things, we were in the same hotel room, but different bedrooms, just like Alvin and Samantha in Australia, but only one bathroom. Thankfully, we hadn't had a bathroom clash since we've been here.I flinched at the sound of the door shutting.France strutted to me. I was thinking of running to my bedroom immediately but something still made me stay back. He dropped to sit beside me and I flinched again."You're always flinching." He smirked. I forced a smile at him and quickly rose to my feet, ready to leave his sight but he held me back. "Don't go, stay a little longer."My phone started to ring from the center table. I glanced at the screen and sighed after realizing it was Jovi. Knowing fully well that it was going to be another stupid threat call, I ignored it."I have to leave.""Stay.
~ Samantha ~One month since that weird husband of mine left but it felt like forever. It was so annoying to be so attached to someone and miss them this much. As he had promised, he called me everyday and I was fully protected but it still felt like torture. Going to work is so boring now. I was simply the boss/boss' wife, not his secretary, which made me have a lot of work to handle.I was so bored of staying at home, alone, though Faith and other workers were there, it still felt so boring, so I decided to go on a walk and probably buy groceries if I was interested in doing so. Of course I had about four bodyguards tailing behind me for protection. I hadn't spoken to Alvin today so I decided to give him a call. In the process of taking my phone out of my pant's pocket, I bumped into someone and the phone fell from my hand forcefully so of course it cracked. Good thing I had a rich husband to buy me a new one else I was going to be running around the pavement crying over the loss of
~ TWO MONTHS LATER ~Once again, another night, no Alvin. I was more than confused. Why hasn't he returned home after three fucking months? I returned to my room took off my jacket, grabbed a towel, and left for the bathroom, sinking into the bathtub. I felt so sick. Alvin not being around had made me very dizzy with terrible headaches.After a long bath, I wrapped a towel around my body and opened the door. I was shocked to see Alvin standing in front of the door, also holding the door knob."Nah, this is probably a dream." I scoffed, rubbing my eyes but he still stood in front of me."You don't believe I'm here?" He raised an eyebrow.Hearing his voice filled my soul with happiness. I wanted to jump and hug him but the happiness was erased quickly and transformed into anger. I walked past him."Please don't give me this attitude." He held my hand but it made me angrier."Let me be." I sauntered to the wardrobe while he walked behind me."Don't be mad at me. I thought you'd be very h
"Uh... I don't know." I chuckled nervously."Why do you sound so nervous?" She narrowed her eyes at me."Mom, it's okay. We can't be certain she's pregnant. And if she is, I'm sure it's my child, right Samantha?" He asked and I nodded."You should do a pregnancy test to confirm if she's pregnant because if she's not then it's probably a serious illness. I'll take my leave.""Wait!" I rose to my feet. "What do you mean by you'll be a grandmother again?" I only heard that. "As far as I know, Alvin is your only child.""Oh, he hasn't told you?" She glanced at him."No, he hasn't told me anything." I held her arms. "What is he supposed to tell me that he hasn't? What's going on?" They shared a glance at each other again then burst into laughter. "Calm down. Alvin isn't my only child. He has a sister.""A dog, Mom.""Whatever." She rolled her eyes. "And she has had a lot of puppies." She clarified and I sighed in relief."I can't believe my baby is having a baby." Alvin wrapped his arms a
