chapter 71

Alexandra’s POVAs we sit to continue our dinner, my phone beeps with a text from Adrian just checking up on me. I guess Emily and Laura had not reported today's incident. I reply with a text saying, “I am fine, I guess.”Katrine could not get the smile off her face. “You are even more excited than I am,” I told her.Oh, Alex,” she begins. “I am so excited; you are going to be an amazing mother,” she says again.“You think?” I ask keenly.“Yes, you will, and I am going to be right here by your side every step of the way,” she says while holding my hands and giving them a gentle squeeze. My eyes were tearing up again; the love and warmth radiating from Katrine were exactly what I needed. We soon forget about our meal as we begin a discussion of nurseries and baby names, our laughter echoing off the walls.As the day begins to darken and dinner slowly comes to an end, Katrine rises from her chair, her eyes sparkling with joy.“This calls for celebration,” she says, reaching for the bott

chapter 72

Adrian’s POVSeeing her weep like a baby pierced my heart. I blame myself for everything. I blame myself for everything that happened: the death of Katrina, the tears of Alexandra. If only I had dealt with Penelope Castle, this would not be happening, and Katrina would still be alive. Ever since I fell in love with Alexandra, I have gotten soft. This was not the Adrian Sinclair the world knew. I really wanted to bury that brutal man in me, but I guess that would just have to wait because I can't let any harm come to Alexandra, especially now that she is carrying my child. As I lay in bed with my eyes closed, I was not asleep. I was thinking of an easy yet brutal way of making Penelope pay for all the havoc and chaos she has caused. I could feel Alexandra's tender and warm hand caressing my arm.“My love, are you okay?” I asked, and I could see her eyes filled with tears as she met my gaze. I knew she had a nightmare.“It was just a nightmare, Adrian,” she whispers with a trembling voic

chapter 73

ADRIAN'S POVI walk upstairs, and I meet Emily and Laura at the bedroom door, just as I had instructed them."You can wait in the living room," I tell them.I walk into the room to have a shower, and as I look across the room, I see Alex sitting on the edge of our bed with her brows furrowed. She held a black dress in her hand.I placed a kiss on her forehead. She looks at me and gives me a dry and sad smile. Then she looks back at the gown again, caressing it."Katrina gave me this dress as a gift, and now I am wearing it for her wake," she says bitterly, gently placing my hands on her shoulder.“Alex, I can only imagine how hard this must be for you. I want you to know that I am here for you no matter what,” I say softly, trying to assure her.“Thank you, my love,” she whispers, her voice filled with sadness.“I need to shower; I will be back,” I tell her as I head to the bathroom.Stepping into the bathroom, I flick on the lights, illuminating the space with a soft, calming glow. T

Chapter 74

Narrator's POVThe soft rays of morning sunlight kissed the room as Alexandra slowly blinked her eyes. She reached out to the side, expecting to find the warmth and comfort of her husband's body next to her. Instead, her fingers grazed the cool, empty sheets. Confusion quickly turned to panic as she sat up, searching for any sign of him.Her heart raced as she called out his name, but the only response was the echo of her own voice. The once familiar bedroom seemed foreign and empty, making her feel small and vulnerable. Thoughts raced through her mind, leaving questions unanswered.Had he left her? Was he in danger? Or worse, had something happened to him? Has Penelope taken him just as she took Katrina away from her?The possibilities suffocated her. Alex's trembling hands clutch the covers tightly as tears well up in her eyes. She knew she had to find answers to unravel the mystery that shrouded her once-perfect life.With determination fueling her every step, Alex pushes back the

chapter 75

Alexandra's POVAs I left the hospital, the throbbing dullness that had settled over my day begged for some much-needed excitement. As I sit in the car, the plush leather upholstery cradling me softly, I contemplate my options. Should I head home, continue with the same routine, go to the office, or spice up my day by venturing into the lively domain of the mall? It was a simple decision, really.With an imperceptible nod, I made up my mind. Today, I would be the opportunist, the adventurer, and the lady who sought out diversion in unconventional places. The mall called to me, a siren's song promising a feast for the senses, a departure from the ordinary. With Penelope gone, I felt safe, my inner spirit silently thanking anyone who ever kidnapped her.Stepping out of the vehicle, the warm sunlight caresses my skin, energizing me with a newfound vigor. I became fully aware of the curious and envious gazes that followed my every graceful move. The crowd parted, giving way to the entoura

Chapter 76

Adrian's POVI see her rummaging through the closet as I enter, wondering what she is looking for. My heart starts to race as I do not want her to find the handkerchief I hid in the closet and forgot to dispose of after leaving the hideout. She probably knows I was standing behind her as she turns slowly with the bloody handkerchief in her hands and fear written all over her face."Adrian, what is this?" she demanded, holding out the handkerchief.My face turns pale, and I stammer, "I... I do not know. Maybe it's from when I cut myself shaving."Alex raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. "You know I am not stupid, Michael. Shaving cuts do not produce this much blood."I hesitate for a moment before saying, "I accidentally cut myself with a kitchen knife while making dinner the other night. I did not want to worry you, so I took care of it myself."She felt a small dose of relief wash over her, but she couldn't shake the unease that still lingered. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asks."I did

Chapter 77

Alexandra's POVI slowly opened my eyes, the piercing sunlight filtering through the curtains only adding to the pounding headache that had plagued me all morning. Tossing and turning in bed, I try to shake off the feeling of discomfort that seems to have penetrated every inch of my body. But as I moved to sit up, an intense wave of nausea hit me with force, forcing me back down onto the plush mattress.Morning sickness. The term seemed so trivial compared to reality and the torment it brought. Every morning since discovering I was pregnant, it had become a ritual—this dance with nausea that left me drained and helpless. Yet, despite the pain, I couldn't help but feel a spark of joy at the thought of the tiny life growing within me.I hear the soft sound of the bedroom door creaking open, and I turn my head to face Adrian, whose face is full of worry.Adrian hurried to my side, his eyes filled with a mix of concern and fear. "Are you alright, my love? What can I do?"I opened my mouth

chapter 78

Narrator’s POVAs Emily drove through the streets with Laura beside her, Alexandra relaxed in the back seat of the car, gazing through the tinted windows, her mind swirling in anticipation and nervousness. She was going to have lunch with her father.The car pulls up to the entrance of the five-star restaurant, and Alex takes a step out. As soon as she entered the restaurant, she immediately sighted her father sitting at the far end of the room, his hair neatly combed as usual. He adjusted his well-tailored suit, hugging his form with elegance. As he looks up, his eyes meet Alexandra’s.Alexandra,” he says, “I am glad you could make it.” He says it again while hugging her and giving her a kiss on the cheek.“Hi dad,” she replies while returning the hug, her tone composed yet with a touch of vulnerability.He nods, gesturing for her to take a seat opposite him. As they settle into their chairs, a waiter pours water into their glasses, offering them menus with a smile.“How have you bee

Chapter 79

Adrian’s POVKeeping secrets as a married man is a really difficult task. I really hate it when my privacy is invaded.I was really upset with Alex going through my things, especially inside my office. I have a lot of stuff in there that I do not want her to know about, most especially the kidnapping of Penelope Castle. That reminds me that I really need to take care of that bitch permanently to avoid further issues. I will definitely do that, but for now I have to go and apologize to Alexandra.“Shit,” I whisper under my breath,she is at fault, and I am still the one that gets to apologize to her. I click my tongue and head downstairs, but I decide against it and head to my office first. I put the phone in one of the safes in the office instead of putting it back in the drawer. I had a feeling that she would be back.Finally reaching the bottom of the stairs, I see her sitting at the kitchen counter with a bowl of ice cream, her shoulders slumped and her face stained with tears, talk
