Layla's POVI paced the room, my heart racing with the new reality. “How could Alex have killed someone?” I muttered to myself.Am I married to a killer?Tracy's voice interrupted my thoughts. “Relax, Layla, you're making me dizzy!”I stopped pacing and turned to her. She sat cross legged on my bed, looking somewhat angry. “I just can't believe it. Alex was always so calm and collected. How could he be so heartless?”Tracy raised an eyebrow. Shaking her head at me. “I really don't understand you. Isn't that what you wanted? You said you wanted to rip her apart, and Alex did it for you. Either way, you've gotten your revenge!”I shook my head, feeling a mix of emotions. “That was just a joke, Tracy. I couldn't even harm a fly.”Tracy chuckled. “Well, Alex is definitely capable. And he is gorgeous too. I haven't seen him so close.” She winked. “If you're going to divorce him, just know that I am taking him.”“What?!” My eyes widened in shock. “How could you covet your boss’ husband? You

Layla's POVI smiled at Alex as we drove back to the penthouse.“What's on your mind?” he asked, noticing my gaze.“Life's unpredictable,” I replied. “Now we're caring for a girl we barely know. It's amazing.”Alex nodded. “Our lives are far from ordinary.”I placed my hand on his lap. “I promise to stand by you, no matter what.”He smiled, squeezing my hand. “Thanks. I knew I could always count on you.”As we arrived at the penthouse, a sense of calm washed over us.We sat down at the table, sipping gently on our wine. Alex's gaze became somber.“What happened?” I asked.He sucked in air with his teeth. “I was thinking of starting a foundation for the less privileged.”I dropped the wine glass, covering my mouth with my palm. “Really? That's so amazing!”“Lily's situation got me thinking. There are lots of children like her that need help, but we can't get to them.”“That was so thoughtful of you, sweetheart.” I smiled, a tear escaping my eyes. Who could have thought that the heartle

Layla's POVLily was finding it difficult to be herself. She no longer trusts people and would wake up at night in fear that Samantha or her grandparents would come for her.My heart ached. The therapy she had was really not working as it should.“It's better if we send her out of the country, don't you think?” Alex asked.“But she would be out of our sight.” I pouted. “She now calls me mom.” “She would also be out of trouble. Let us change her environment and check to see if things would change.” “What can I say?” I surrendered.“Let's send him off to Italy.” “Hmm, that would be great.”“Her birthday is approaching, let's surprise her.” Alex Said.I shrugged my shoulders. I entered her room and she was sleeping peacefully after the pills she took. She could no longer sleep without taking drugs. My heart ached greatly.I placed a gentle kiss on her head. “I love you dear.” She moaned in her sleep.Lily's birthday approached and we planned a party for her. We invited her friends ov

Layla's POVMy face broke into a smile as I stepped into the room I had decorated for my baby. Trailing my hands on the furniture and bed. “The baby isn't even here yet.” Alexander said, smiling at the door. I turned to him, my hands folded. “I know, but it's best if we start preparing now.” I giggled.He stepped in, “wait, how are you so sure it's a boy you would have as the first child?”“I'm super sure. It has been my prayer since I was a little girl.” I smiled.“But I want a girl child.” He pouted.“No, Alex. We are going to have a boy. Don’t jinx it!” I said with a playful grin, my eyes sparkling with excitement.“That’s not fair. Don’t you think you should also prepare a room for a girl?” Alex asked, raising an eyebrow in mock protest. “We should prepare for both.”“Hmm, I will.” I held his hands and we went downstairs for dinner.“What are we having for today?” Alex asked the butler.“Chicken Parmesan, sir.” The butler bowed slowly.“Okay,” he nodded. The househelps served th

Layla's POVAlex gazed at me. I nodded. “Go get a surrogate, Alex. You don't even have to wait till the end of the year.”“You can't be serious, Layla. How will a woman tell her husband to go get another woman pregnant?” he asked.I turned to him, my expression serious. “If the woman can't fulfill her duties then I see no reason why she shouldn't agree.” Alex moved closer to me, placing his hands on my shoulders. “It's not your fault, Layla. Don't see yourself as that. You have always been with me through difficult times, I can't look away from that.”Tears clouded my eyes. “It's my fault, Alex. We have done numerous tests. We've gone through several procedures, but none of them worked. If getting a surrogate is what will work then get one.”Alex scoffed. “So you're telling me, you don't see anything wrong in caring for someone else's child.”Tears streamed down my face. It felt as though my heart was being pricked with a blade. “Hmm,” I nodded. “As long as it's your child, Alex.”A
