บททั้งหมดของ Secretly Pregnant for the Alpha CEO : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

LilyThe next day, I prepared for work. Every single action was a weight in my senses, dragging me down. I couldn't see my world the same again.I arrived at work still brimming from the past day. Dread filled me as I looked up at the tall building.Yet it wasn't mine.‘Breathe in…out.'I repeated that mantra as I slowly walked into the luxurious building. I couldn't look at this place in the same way.A job I apparently didn't deserve.I wished I could storm into his office and resign. But now my future wasn't safe anymore. Not with those other creatures following me.Werewolves. Even though I had understood, the thought still made me shiver.Now I had to stay here and stick by him until this was over. Against my conscience, I had to follow his rules.The reminder put a bitter taste on my tongue.I didn't want to face him. Neither Alexander or Nathan.All my thoughts for them had shriveled up. Mostly with Alexander. Especially Alexander.The thought of seeing him again sent a coiling

LilyHalf an hour before the meeting I was already there, paper at the ready to record the minutes. The silence was a brief reprieve as I prepared for what I would face, or rather, who.Time passed by blissfully quick. As minutes passed more people came into the meeting room, greeting me with nods and murmurs I quickly returned. Emily greeted me with a small wave, her dressing simple yet luxurious. In no time the entire place was full and every other person was seated.Finally, he arrived. My muscles tensed as before he came into view, as if it felt his presence before I could even process it.He was unfettered as always, with his dark suit and his dark hair styled with strands still managing to frame his face.‘Ass.' I thought to myself.I glared at him even though he didn't pass a glance my way, sitting down at the head of the table.Looking away my grip tightened on my pen I held. He didn't matter. I just had to get through this meeting to be done with him, at least for today.The

34Lily‘No.’‘No, no no no.’I couldn't move, could barely breathe. I wished the place was different altogether so I didn't have to face this mortification.But this was reality. Nothing could be taken back. Especially not this.His hand was still there, still like a stone. It was then I noticed that he wasn't moving, not even taking a breath.‘He knows.’He was a smart man, as he never failed to remind me. I had no doubt that he was piecing it all together now.I couldn't be here while that happened. I needed to leave. Now.With newfound strength I pushed him away, watching him stumble backwards. It should have been strange, considering how built he was to waver so easily, but I could barely think anymore.I turned away and ran out of the office, slamming the door behind me. The sound rang across the hallway, but I didn't care if anyone had noticed.My lungs burned as I raced back to my office the fastest I could. I shut the door, closing my eyes against it. The surface around

AlexanderI watched the slow rise and fall of her chest in silence. With how still and ashen she was, that was the only way of knowing she was still alive.We had long arrived in the mansion whilst she still remained fast asleep. My gaze drew up to her face.Her hair circled her like a halo. She looked so peaceful if not for the tear streaks marrying her face.The pack doctor came only minutes ago to check on her by my command. I knew it wasn't necessary. I could see that she was evidently fine.But I needed to make sure.Once she was done, her verdict was as I should have expected.“Aside from some signs of shock and bruising, she and the baby are alright.”The baby. My baby.Those words still echoed in my mind long after she left. Sat on her bedside, so eerily similar to the day I revealed her new reality.My gaze trailed down to the duvet where her hand was placed on, as though she instinctively protected it. There was no need to check again. I felt it while carrying her here. If

LilyWaking up in the morning, panic spread through me at the unfamiliar surroundings. Then the memories of the day before came rushing back and I had no choice but to relax.‘Oh.’ I inwardly sighed as I sank into the plush mattress. Despite sleeping in it easily the feeling was still unusual. I should have been happy or relaxed under the softest mattress I had, but I couldn't. I wasn't used to this.Everything around me was unfamiliar. Looking around at the room and the decorations, I gripped the sheets hard.The place looked just like the last time I'd been here. Vases on the shelves as decorations with the space so wide it might as well be an apartment of its own. Every crafted detail was lavish and luxurious, though in a muted form. I was the sole outlier in this room. I didn't belong here.I missed my hard and worn bed, my apartment with all the little knick knacks I'd pushed up along the way. Even the little worn couch I used. They weren't as expensive as anything here nor were
