Alexandra's POVMy parents just looked at me in awe after I shouted at them to let me do something for once.My mom's facial expression dropped immediately when I shouted at them. It is more like, never in her wildest imagination would she have thought that I would stand up to myself and want company. I had already made up my mind to fight and not lose Liss to anyone. I will be a strong woman, one whom people will respect at the sound of just my name.Back to the moment: My mom is still looking at me, thinking I would leave Liss in their hands. At the beginning, I hated marriage, but at this moment, I am happy to be married.My mom sat on the dining chair and stared at the food the maid had served. Her gaze may be on the food, but it is very obvious that a lot is going on in her head. My dad, on the other hand, refused to sit; he kept shaking his left leg and grinding his teeth at the same time.It is clearly obvious that he is trying to swallow his words but is finding it very diffic

ALEXANDRA'S POVAdrian sat in my office really pissed with the stunt Penelope tried to pull, but he is glad he was able to handle the situation before she said anything stupid. He needed me to take over the company as soon as possible before anything else came up. He quickly sent an email to every board member to inform them of the meeting by 5 p.m. He had already told me to go back home after we left the boardroom. Adrian called me not too long after I left the office to inform my dad there was another meeting tonight, explain what happened today, and let him know there was no longer time to stall. I just got home and am trying to wrap my head around what almost happened today. If we hadn't arrived at the office when we did, that little snake would have done a lot of harm, but thankfully Adrian was there, and I still wonder what he whispered into her ears that left her speechless. As I was about to take the stairs heading to the bedroom, I could hear my phone ring. I had forgotten

Adrian’s POV As I sit on the chair beside Alex and watch her sleep peacefully with her hands in mine, I cannot help but smile. I cannot believe I am going to be a father. Though I am a little bit scared, I do not know a thing about raising kids. All I know is that I am definitely not going to raise a kid the way I was raised. I was raised to be a perfect heir all my life, with no room for mistakes or fuckups. I made a silent promise to myself that I will raise this child with nothing but love, and I know that with Alex by my side, we will make the best parents ever. I put my hands on her belly and rubbed it softly and gently. Just then, I hear my phone beep. I hold her hand gently so as not to wake her up to pick up my phone. It turns out to be a text from Penelope: “YOU THINK YOU CAN GET RID OF ME LIKE A BAG OF TRASH. I WILL BE BACK, AND YOU WON’T BE THERE TO SAVE THAT SPOILED LITTLE BRAT. I clench my fist and click my tongue. “How long does this crazy bitch intend to keep this up?

Adrian's PoVI was a bit pissed about Alex throwing up all over me, but I had to tolerate it. I guess it is not her fault anyway. I hold her hands and walk her up the stairs as Davis calls in. I pick him up and tell him I will call him back in a bit. I do not want Alex to worry about anything."Penelope called earlier," Alex tells me."When was this? What did she say?" he responded."She called on my way to meet up with you this evening, and I hung up before she could say anything stupid," she continues.I open the bedroom door, and we get in. I help her out of her gown so that she can go clean up. This was not how I expected the night to end. As she heads to the bathroom,"I will be back," I say rather loudly, and I quietly head out to my study to call Davis. He picks up on the fourth ring."Hey man,what's the update?" I say immediately."Good evening to you too," he replies, and I keep muting, then he continues."I did some digging, and I found a few things about Miss Castle, but nothing
