CHAPTER 71I made sure to help Alexander with all his workload, whether it was organizing files, drafting emails, or brainstorming ideas, we shared the responsibility and enjoyed the peace of the aftermath. Our shared moments of productivity were interspersed with stolen glances, gentle touches, and whispered words of affection.Maria, became our lifeline outside the confines of our room. We would call her, requesting meals and snacks to be delivered to our sanctuary. She would arrive with a smile, setting the tray down on the small table we had set up near the window. The curtains bathed the room in soft, filtered light, creating a serene and cozy atmosphere.As we indulged in our meals, we engaged in lively conversations, sharing our thoughts, aspirations, and even the mundane details of our days. Time seemed to stand still as we laughed, teased, and immersed ourselves in each other's company.The outside world faded away, its distractions and demands

CHAPTER 73I wanted to create a haven for our child, a place filled with love, warmth, and comfort. I already had a beautiful theme in mind that would do well with both gender, so no matter the gender, he or she would love the room.As I sat in the quiet solitude of my room, I couldn't help but feel grateful. I was surrounded by love, blessed with a growing family, and on the verge of the most transformative journey of my life. A soft sigh escaped my lips as I leaned back into the cushions of the armchair, my hands still gently resting on my belly. Alexander had gotten this armchair for me as I preferred to seat up than lay on the bed. The Best part is that it has a massage setting that also helps me feel relaxed. As I closed my eyes, I could almost see our future - all of us, standing firm all together as a family filled with laughter, love, and an endless amount of joy. The thought brought a smile to my face as I drifted off to sleep, dreaming of t

Chapter 75I placed my phone on the table and took a seat, ready to savor my breakfast. The scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the aroma of warm bacon, toasted bread and scrambled eggs. But as I glanced around the table, I found that it looked rather empty like something quite important was missing, or rather, someone. That's when I realized that Olivia isn't at the table yet, she's always here before me as she always needed to go to the company on time. Concern crept into my thoughts, and I turned to Alexander, who sat across from me at the head table, his gaze fixed on his plate."Where's Olivia?" I asked, my voice laced with worry.Alexander looked up, his eyes meeting mine, and his expression softened. "She had some important work to deal with at the company. It seems like a pressing matter, but she didn't go into details."I frowned, my fingertips tracing circles on the surface of the table. Olivia rarely missed breakfast,

CHAPTER 77The hours passed in blissful solitude, my mind absorbed in the pages of the book, the words and pictures burning into my soul. But as the sun began its descent, casting a warm glow through the window, I heard the familiar sound of the room door opening. Alexander had returned home.He made his presence known with a gentle kiss on my forehead, his touch imbued with love and tenderness. I smiled up at him, basking in the warmth of his affection. The worries and stresses of the day seemed to melt away in his presence.I couldn't hold myself back and rushed to ask questions. "Alexander, why didn't you tell me we had been invited to an art charity auction event?""What Charity event?" He asked confused. "I found the invite in an envelope at the work table." I explained. A look of surprise crossed his face, followed by a sheepish expression. "Actually, I completely forgot to open it. It must still be downstairs."A mischievous glint shone in my eyes.

CHAPTER 79With the charity auction still a few days away, Alexander and I had more than enough time for ourselves, and Alexander promised that we'll have a great time here in Brooklyn. We'll go shopping and exploring and I couldn't wait for it.The first morning, we woke up early, ready to face Brooklyn and it's culture. We left the hotel room early too and came out to the open bustling streets of Brooklyn.Our first stop was a charming café nestled in a quaint neighborhood. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as we savored our morning cup, there we made a simple plan of what to do next and after that and I took a lot of pictures to savor the moment forever.Energized and ready for the next stop, we set off to explore the city's iconic landmarks. We wandered through narrow alleys adorned with colorful murals, capturing snapshots of the vibrant street art that told stories of the city's rich history and spirit.In the afternoon, we found our
