CHAPTER 51: JULIAN'S FEAR

JULIANSeeing that Fred had gone to clean himself, Abel and I no longer waited. We entered the car and drove off. I didn't feel the need to visit the hospital again. Especially after what happened today, I felt the need to be more cautious now. This pregnancy wasn't only going to change my body from now on. It would also change my life, and I guessed it was time to talk to Xavier. He needed to speak with the director. It wasn't like things were unknown to the director to begin with. The drama... Especially my scenes, they needed to be rushed. I rubbed my belly as I closed my eyes, intending to rest for a bit longer. However, the earlier scene played in my head the moment I closed my eyes, and a frown formed on my face. How was I supposed to face Fred again after this? Calculating things on a rational ground, I seemed to owe Fred twice now...With this thought in mind, I gradually fell asleep. Opening my eyes again, I saw myself being held by Xavier, whose eyes were extremely

CHAPTER 52: BITTER

JULIAN The next day came the same way. After throwing up early in the morning, sitting in the bathroom with no energy to continue living, Xavier washed me up, dressed me up, and took me downstairs to warm up ginger tea for me. Then he also fed me. My eyes remained on him all through, eagerly waiting for him to ask me about Fred, but Xavier didn't seem to have anything on his mind. He continued his care, and when Abel came over, he handed me over to Abel and wished us good luck for the day. I stepped out of the house in a daze. "Get in," Abel said. He looked guilty ever since we met again this morning, but I was too lost to think about him. Of course, he needed to be disciplined. He worked for me but went ahead to report everything back to Xavier without asking for my consent. If Xavier had fought with me concerning Fred last night... but he didn't. He didn't even say anything. Thinking about it again, I felt my heart sink. Was it that Xavier didn't care about me, or did he

CHAPTER 53: RESOLVED

JULIANThe shooting for the day finally ended, and Abel drove me home. My head ached from the stress, but my mind remained restless even after I got out of the car. "I'm not angry with you anymore," I said to Abel, who looked pale all day. Hearing my word, he turned to look at me, and his eyes flickered. "Really?" He asked. I nodded, sighing softly. "Make sure to tell me first before reporting anything back to Xavier next time." Abel nodded his head frantically. His eyes brightened, and he revealed an excited smile on his face. "Okay. I will never repeat such again in my life!" My lips curled at his expression, and a smile formed on my face. For some reason, my heart no longer felt as heavy, and the restlessness in my heart reduced significantly. I entered, and the sweet aroma of meals wafted into my nose, elevating my mood even more. My eyes drifted toward the kitchen and found Xavier coming out with an apron wrapped around his tiny waist. He looked tall and handsome. His f

CHAPTER 54: SET

JULIAN Xavier bathed me despite my resistance due to embarrassment. He even gave me a massage in the bathroom. Everything would have been perfect if he hadn't teased my little brother so many times that I thought I would lose all the liquid in my body...Then, he carried me back to the room, dressed me up, and then carried me downstairs where he fed me dinner. "Ready to sleep?" Xavier asked as he carried me in his arms again. I felt like he was going to spoil me. My heart had been in a dreamy haze all evening. "Yes." I nodded, blinking away the silly smile that was about to cross my lips. Xavier chuckled and kissed my nose. He took the steps upstairs and carried me toward his room. He placed me in bed and also came up. His fingers moved skillfully around my shoulders as he massaged. "Sleep, baby. I will make you feel good." His deep voice rang. My stomach fluttered. I felt like the word was quite... dirty. A smile hung at the corner of my lips as my eyelids grew heavy. After

CHAPTER 55: WIFE

XAVIER"He wants a meeting?" I asked with a frown on my face. "Didn't we conclude on the project earlier?" Nick sighed. His expression was ashen as he nodded his head. "I think they want to go back on their deal. Their new head is quite sly. He said he needs to see you before he can finalize the deal." He explained. My eyes darkened. We were at the critical stage of the project, and stopping now wouldn't only affect the company's image but also cost a lot of money. "What else do they want aside from the meeting?" I asked with barely suppressed anger. The company was digging at my bottom line, and they honestly knew how to choose their moment. They were initially a small company that could be easily destroyed by me, but now that a deal was between us, destroying them would also affect me. They knew this and were using it against me...Nick shook his head. "They only want a private meeting. Their chairman wants only you in the meeting." Nick replied, showing me the message they s

CHAPTER 56: ULTRASOUND

XAVIERThe crew looked at me with fear in their eyes as they bowed their heads and scurried out of the room. Director James bowed slightly, nodded his head at me, and also left with them. Seeing them leave, Nick sighed inexplicably and followed them out. "I will appease them." He whispered before leaving the room. I rolled my eyes and ignored him. If Abel were to report to me that they were the cause of Julian's collapse, then I wouldn't mind driving all of them out of the entertainment circle forever. "Mr Xavier," Abel called as he stood up and bowed. I replied with a nod and approached Julian's bed. Taking his hand in mine, I gave it a firm squeeze and sighed deeply. "What happened?" I asked, suppressing the fear and anger in my eyes. Abel stood at the side and slowly shook his head. "I went out to get him snacks, and when I returned, he already collapsed. I heard he was acting when he suddenly fell." My eyes immediately darkened. As expected!Those people really stressed

CHAPTER 57: TRIPLETS

JULIANThe heartbeats, like a low drumming sound, lingered in the air even after the ultrasound transducer left my belly. I stared at the doctor, chest undulating as I tried to comprehend what had just happened. My hands went to my belly, slowly rubbing it, trying to decipher if this was a dream or not. Then, my gaze drifted to Xavier, whose eyes seemed even more shocked than mine. He looked at me with both fear and shock in his eyes. My lips pressed into a thin line. "Three?" I let out. I didn't know who I was asking that question, but I felt like I needed to confirm it. "Yes. You are carrying triplets." The doctor explained. Then, my heart plummeted. I closed my eyes and clenched my fist beside my belly. "I don't want to see anyone," I mumbled. My voice was firm. There was silence in the air for a moment. But soon enough, I felt movement, and opening my eyes, I realized I was the only one left in the room. I lifted my upper body up from the bed and tried to sit up. My b

CHAPTER 58: FAREWELL

JULIAN"Doctor, what are the things we need to be careful of?" I heard Xavier asking the doctor as my mother led me out of the hospital room. "The patient is in good health. After taking the prescribed nutrients, he also needs a lot of rest and..." I could no longer listen to his words as my mother led me farther away. But I knew Xavier would remember all the instructions and take good care of us. With the help of my mother and Abel, I was able to settle into the car as we waited for Xavier to return. Nick, Xavier's assistant, walked over and bowed slightly. "Ma, Mr Julian, Mr Abel." He greeted us. I smiled politely and bowed back. "Hello, Mr Nick." Though a little surprised that he was around, it wasn't strange to see him. He searched around with his eyes and returned his attention to us. "Mr Julian, where's Mr Xavier?" He asked curiously. "He's inside. He should be out soon." "Oh..." He trailed off. Then, he revealed a small smile. "How's your health? The boss was really w

CHAPTER 59: CONFRONTATION

JULIAN I stared at the silver drink inside the cup, and my heart thumped. What if the alcohol harmed my babies? "I don't want to," I said in a low voice, pushing the cup back to the actress. Her expression changed as blush crept to her cheeks. "Ah, Mr Julian, can't you give me a little face?" She asked, blinking. I could tell she was embarrassed. My eyes glinted with hidden resentment as I looked at the female actress. Her words had attracted the attention of the rest, and everyone was looking at us with questions in their eyes.Not taking the drink from her would make them think I was arrogant. But taking it from her... what would happen to my babies?I secretly glanced at my belly, and my heart felt heavy. What was I supposed to do?The thoughts crossed my mind, and my eyes slowly stilled. Annoying the people here wouldn't matter much anyway. I might never see them again after the drama aired...I stretched my hand forward, ready to take the cup and drop it aside, but a slen

CHAPTER 60: EXPOSED?

JULIAN"Who else knows about this?" I asked through difficult breathing. Fred shook his head. "No one else did. I've been trying my best to keep the secret from you." He explained. But that only scared me more. Fred was a scum and no word from his tongue could be trusted. I stared into his eyes, trying to see if he was deceiving me, but this thought was quickly forgotten by me as Fred wasn't someone I could easily read into. If that was possible, I'd have found out he was deceiving me when we were dating back then. I'd have found out he never loved me...But he was cunning. He'd never let out his real feelings. I clenched my fist and tried to control my breathing as I was starting to feel weak from within. "Don't ever tell anyone," I said hoarsely. Fred shook his head. "I will never tell anyone." He said solemnly. But it was hard to put my mind at rest... I braced myself, stood right, and glared at him. I tried my best to look menacing as my lips parted: "If I hear this fro
