ALEXANoelle and I got home from the doctor’s appointment. She drove the car while I just enjoyed the ride.We talked and laughed about random stuff that put my mind at ease.“How are you preparing for the fair that is coming up?” Noelle asked as she parked the car and we got out.“Shirley is handling most of it, and quite frankly, I trust her judgment so I am just going to allow her handle things,” I said, a little bit tiredly.Lately, I had been getting tired easily, but I already understood why, and ever since I found out and decided to keep the baby, I didn’t allow it to bother me.I caught Noelle smiling.“What is it?” I asked her.“I am just glad that you have agreed to slow down on some things because of the baby,” Noelle said.Then she gave me a tight and warm hug.“I can’t wait to be an aunty already!” Noelle added excitedly.Her excitement had been a form of support and encouragement for me, and more so, I was relieved that I could truly have this baby without the knowledge

ALEXA“Gina?” I said, barely able to believe my ears.My first thought was that I didn’t hear correctly because it was late at night and I was still feeling very sleeping.“Yes, Alexa,” she answered, and I couldn’t deny that that was her voice.I sat up instantly.Even though the cop had said that Gina was only missing, she had made it seem as though something tragic had happened to her, and now, hearing Gina’s voice, I felt a deep sense of relief.“Are you alone?” Gina went on to ask.“Yes, I am,” I answered.“Are you sure? Please, Alexa, don’t lie to me. It is important for me to know and trust that you are alone right now and no one is listening to this conversation,” Gina emphasized.“I am in my dad’s bedroom, Gina. He passed. And I am alone here. Noelle is in the guestroom close by because she wants to keep an eye on me, but it doesn’t mean that she can see or hear me right now. She is probably sleeping already,” I explained rapidly.Gina paused for a few seconds and I thought th

ALEXAThe next couple of days, Shirley and I worked really hard towards upcoming fair. Paris was already beginning to feel the excitement of it.Everywhere you turned, even stepping out of your house, you could feel it in the air.I didn’t talk about my phone conversation with Gina with Noelle because it wasn’t even something that I was supposed to do, and I also decided to put it at the back of my mind so that it wouldn’t make me stay fearful.I didn’t need that right now.Aside making enormous preparations for the fair, Noelle and I were also always talking about my plans to leave Paris after Christmas and to not return until the birth of my baby.Up till this moment, Shirley didn’t know I was pregnant, and I realized that I felt more comfortable.The less people who knew, the better it was for me.For the past two hours, Shirley and I had been working really hard. I still didn’t have other clients aside from Mr. Gerald and his friends, and so we had more than enough time on our han

I was so stunned to my bones that I couldn’t believe what I heard for a few seconds.Standing in front of me was a beautiful and young woman. She seemed like someone from one of the elite families. More than that, this was the last thing I expected.“Lionel’s fiancée?” I asked her when I was eventually able to get out of my shock.“Yes, I am,” she responded, showing off the huge engagement ring on her finger.I still didn’t believe her.Not because someone like her was capable of literally forcing her way into someone’s apartment and randomly declare being a fiancée, but because never in my wildest imaginations did I think that Lionel would have a woman in his life, let alone a fiancée.Since he brought me to this apartment, the only time he had had to go out was whenever he needed to be at work, like right now, and when he was coming back, he would get groceries and every other thing he needed just so that he wouldn’t have to leave the house again.Just so that he could do whatever

MARK“You have impressed me so far, Brandon,” I told the younger man, and I meant it. “Your interview was good, but your work so far has been great,” I added.I rarely complimented anyone, but Brandon’s hard work in the last ten days had been nothing short of perfect.“Thank you, Mr. Mark,” he said.“The fair is in a few days, and I expect that by then we would have wrapped up everything and be ready,” I said.“I am already half-way through, Mr. Mark,” Brandon said.“You can call me Mark,” I told him.Brandon nodded.“I already know that your company thrives on excellence and perfection, and that is exactly what I hope to achieve with all the tasks I have been given,” Brandon said.“You did your due diligence,” I noted.Brandon wanted to leave, but he hesitated.“Is there something else?” I asked him.“Mark, I know that my appointment is on a temporary basis and after this fair is over, my work here is done,” Brandon started.“Yes, that’s right,” I said.“I did mention during my inter
