ALEXAThere was something different about Mark the moment he walked in and I noticed it, and it made me furious.I was certain for a fact that Mark went out to speak to his lover, Mona.Gosh, the rage inside of me knew no bounds.This was the very reason I didn’t want Mark anywhere close to me. It wasn’t just because I didn’t want him anywhere close to the child, but it was because I knew that he was involved with someone else whom he had even displayed publicly.I couldn’t get over how cozy and loved up they had been at the fair.Rage bubbled inside of me all over again.Mark couldn’t even wait until this was completely over before rushing out to take her call, and here he was, acting all excited.What did she say to him?Did he tell her about this appointment and she called to show her support to him and offer him words of encouragement? Was that why he seemed more relaxed and excited?Heck, I really wish I could stop Mark from coming anywhere close to me.“Are we ready?” The doctor

ALEXAWaiting for Mark to finish up whatever he was talking to the doctor about really upset me, and I wanted to call a cab, but I recalled that I had left my cell phone back at the house, and so I had to wait for him.Painfully so.My phone was right on the table in the living room where I had kept it, but I noticed that it was in a different position; as though someone had shifted it.Usually, I wouldn’t have even thought about it, but I did, especially with Ivy in the house.Angrily, I grabbed the phone and hurried upstairs to Ivy’s bedroom. Without knocking, I barged in.“Alexa, goodness, what is it?” Ivy asked. “I didn’t even realize you were back,” she added.“Did you touch my phone?” I asked Ivy.She blinked for a few seconds before regaining her composure.“What?” She asked, sounding bewildered to be asked that kind of question.“Did you go anywhere near my phone?” I asked her again through clenched teeth.“But you only just got back. How is it possible that I would have gone

MARK“Excuse me, what did you just say?” I asked Mona, hoping that I either didn’t hear her correctly or I didn’t understand what she was saying.“I said I am suffering from early pregnancy sickness,” Mona answered more emphatically.My heart began to race faster.She couldn’t be serious!Did she mean what she just said? I was a hundred percent certain a few seconds ago that she had gotten rid of the pregnancy, judging from my interaction with her receptionist at her gift store and her housekeeper downstairs. What the heck was she talking about?“Most women have it during the first weeks of their pregnancy,” Mona added.But I didn’t care for her damned explanation.I wouldn’t know this because I wasn’t present during the first weeks of Alexa’s pregnancy, and it just dawned on me that during her dad’s funeral and the fair, which were good chances to see her but I didn’t, Alexa was already carrying my child.I had to mentally shake off the thought from my head because it wasn’t import

MARK“Is there anything else?” I asked Reyna after she was done with what I asked her to do.I glanced at my watch and saw that it was almost time for me to close up for the day.“Nothing more, sir,” she responded, but she didn’t leave.“What is it, Reyna?” I asked her.“I know I shouldn’t be prying, but you have been sulking all day, sir,” Reyna said. “Is anything the matter?” She asked.“No, there isn’t,” I responded.“Are you sure?” Reyna asked more deeply.If she wasn’t very competent, and added to the fact that I knew that she was simply being caring, I might have been upset with her because I didn’t want anyone prodding me like this.“Yes, Reyna, I am sure,” I responded. “Well, what about the chef I asked you to find?” I asked her.Earlier in the day, I had spoken to her about hiring a chef for Alexa because I wanted her to be well fed and taken care of.Thankfully, the doctor was kind enough to give me a list of foods that might help her get better, and with the help of a paid

ALEXAI went to check who was at the door, and to my confusion, it was a woman who was well into her thirties.“Hello, good day, ma’am,” she greeted with a warm smile.“Good morning,” I responded, still wondering who she was and what she was doing here. “How may I help you?” I asked her.“You must be Miss Alexa Silver, right?” She inquired.“Yes, that’s me,” I responded.“My name is Lora, and I am here because I have been hired as your personal chef and nutritionist,” she responded.I became confused.“Hired? I didn’t…” I started, but she interrupted me respectfully.“Mr. Mark Ronaldo did the hiring, ma’am. I am simply here to start working,” she said.“Oh,” I said, almost speechless. “May I come in?” She requested politely when I didn’t usher her in.“Forgive my manners; of course, you may come in,” I said.And then I ushered her into the living room. “Give me a moment,” I requested.“Of course, ma’am,” Lora responded.I left her and went to the dining table to make a call.
