Semua Bab Marrying a Disabled CEO in My Sister's Place: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Sleepless nights had become a constant for Alice lately. But tonight, especially, it felt like an invisible hand was squeezing her throat, stealing her breath and making her feel a despair that was hard to explain. Or, perhaps, too easy. She knew that Massimo must have told Millicent the truth by now, and it was killing Alice inside. God, she wished she could just be happy that she had been wrong about him all this time. Now, her baby would have a loving father, all the financial support in the world to make all her dreams come true, and a real home, much better and more welcoming than the Dawsey house would ever be. And, the truth is that a part of Alice was happy and relieved to finally have put an end to that lie that had been suffocating her for the past few months, every time she saw Massimo and Millie acting like the father and daughter they had no idea they really were…But, a much bigger and much more fragile part of her was in deep agony with the possibility that M

“Mommy! I’m going to be late for class!” Millie complained, but Alice continued to straighten her coat, wanting to make sure her baby was wrapped up properly.“Are you sure it's hot enough? I brought another coat if you want.” Alice said, as she placed the back of her hand on Millicent's forehead “Are you feeling cold or dizzy? I think we should put the thermometer in you again…”“Mommy…” her daughter rolled over in her lap, looking like she wanted to jump through the open bedroom window “I'm not sick! I want to see my friends.”"She is fine." Massimo sighed, sitting on the other leather seat of the small limousine “I've already spoken to the director and the security guards will be patrolling the corridors at all times for the nex

“You… You are the one who is ruining my grandfather’s business and buying them all at the lowest price possible, aren’t you?” Alice swallowed hard, unsure of how he would react to that accusation “I've been wondering for months who would have enough influence to make our partners break their contracts and make our commercial value plummet. And, of course, also enough money to buy all the projects, after that happened. For some time now, since Kendra took over from my grandfather as president of the company, our market value has decreased significantly. It would be much more worthwhile to put all this effort into the companies that dominate the pharmaceutical market today. So, if it wasn’t for profit… There would have to be another motivation.”“You are really very smart.” Micah smiled, head down “I’m sorry. I was going to tell

“Here dear. I asked my security guards to buy you another box.” Micah said, still stroking Alice's head gently as he placed a new box of tissues in her lap, probably the third that day.“I’m sorry…” Alice sniffed, grabbing some more tissues to wipe her eyes, which were tingling from being so swollen “I’m not usually a crybaby like that, I swear. It’s just there’s been a lot of things happening lately to mess with my head…”“There’s nothing to be sorry for, darling.” Micah just chuckled, straightening the blanket he'd forced his security guards to buy somewhere, just to make her more comfortable.It had been a while since they left the bakery, after she hugged him. It didn't seem like the right place for her to have the ugly c

“You don’t seem like the type who would sleep with another man.” Ruby commented casually, making Alice gasp.“I would never…!”“Well, I understand. Not every breach of trust is marital betrayal, but this seems to be what weighs most heavily on men.” she commented, shrugging “And, believe me, I know men like Mr. Bianchi and I can tell you he seems genuinely fond of you. What exactly was this breach of trust, to make you think your marriage was beyond repair? I only see relationships like yours end so abruptly when the breach of trust begins in someone else's finances or bed, especially when it is the man who takes the first step towards infidelity…”“Can you stop talking about your vast experience with cheating men to my friend?” Lucy was
