Chapter 52After that night, we parted ways without any promises or expectations. We were two ships passing in the night, destined never to cross paths again. I resumed my life, trying to forget the intoxicating allure of Alexander and the lingering memory of our shared intimacy.But fate had other plans. A month later, I discovered that I was pregnant. Shock and disbelief flooded through me like a tidal wave. How could this happen? I questioned myself, my mind racing with a mix of emotions.Determined to do the right thing no matter how scared I was of rejection, I reached out to Alexander, the only person who could share responsibility for this unexpected turn of events. We agreed to meet at a nearby café, a neutral ground where we could discuss our options. As I sat across from him, clutching my coffee cup tightly, I was nervous at first but hearing that he had been thinking about me this whole time and he wanted to explore this chemistry we have, I mustered the courage to break

Chapter 54As the car glided through the busy city streets, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and contentment. As we arrived home in the luxurious black car, anticipation mixed with a touch of nervousness settled within me. Maria, greeted us at the door, her warm smile welcoming us back. But her next words struck me like a bolt of lightning."Mr. Alexander, your mother has been here for the past two days," Maria informed us, her voice tinged with concern."I had told her earlier on that you were both in the hospital but she..."My heart skipped a beat as I exchanged a brief glance with Alexander. His mother's disapproval of our relationship was no secret. She had always been cold and distant towards me, never accepting me as a suitable partner for her son. The thought of facing her again, especially with my vulnerability in this delicate state of pregnancy, made me uneasy.Alexander squeezed my hand gently, his voice filled with assurance. "Emma, don't worry. Everything will b

Chapter 56 And what would you like to feast upon, my dear?" he asked, his tone playful yet tender.I paused for a moment, contemplating the overwhelming list of cravings that had plagued me throughout the day. "Pizza," I began, ticking off the items on my fingers. "Burgers, fries, tacos... Oh, and sushi! I'm craving sushi like you wouldn't believe."Alexander's eyes widened in amusement as I continued. "And desserts, oh my! I want chocolate cake, ice cream, cookies, and a mountain of whipped cream. I could go on forever, but I think that's enough for now."He shook his head, chuckling softly. "Wait I also want...Pancakes," I began, ticking off items on my fingers. "Waffles, mac and cheese, pickles... Oh, and don't forget the ice cream! I need a pint of chocolate chip cookie dough."A chuckle escaped Alexander's lips as he tried to fathom the extent of my appetite. "Emma, I don't think you're eating for two. It's more like a food festival in there. How are you going to finish all of t

Chapter 58Her words offered me a glimmer of hope, and I felt a surge of gratitude for having someone like Olivia in my life. Not just as my sister in law but also as a friend. With tears welling in my eyes, I threw my arms around her, embracing her tightly."Thank you, Olivia," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion. "I don't know what I would do without you. Your support means everything to me."As we held each other, the door to the bedroom swung open, and there stood Alexander, his gaze filled with remorse. He cleared his throat, interrupting the tender moment we shared."I'm sorry for ruining this moment," he said softly, his voice tinged with regret. "Emma, your food has arrived. Shall we eat together?"My stomach rumbled at the mention of food. The stress and emotional turmoil that had plagued me just a few minutes ago vanished at the thought of food. With a mixture of anticipation and impatience, I jumped off the bed and hurriedly made my way towards the door, leaving both

Chapter 60The air around us crackled with anticipation, and the room seemed to shrink, enveloping us in a cocoon of raw desire. The world outside didn't exist to either of us; there was only him and me, bound by an unspoken longing that had finally reached its breaking point.I wondered why I felt this damned crazy and hot but then I realized that even before I found out about the pregnancy, I had longed so dearly for his touch and what we had on that night that I had many dreams. Coupled up with the pregnancy now. The pregnancy must be messing with my libido and making me feel like if i didn't have him then i would both burn in frustration and lustful desire.We had danced around this precipice for what felt like an eternity, teasing and tasting the insides of each other's mouth. Our stolen glances and fleeting touches had been the kindling to the fire that threatened to consume both of us whole. And in this moment, we both knew that there was no turning back. We needed this, right
