Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. President Has A Baby Bump: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

~~Jay~~I immediately regretted saying that out loud.Again.Apparently, my mouth had a personal vendetta against my dignity.Alex’s grin turned downright sinful, the kind that could melt steel and common sense alike. “You kind of do, huh?”I groaned, covering my face with both hands. “Why do I talk?”“Because deep down, you want me to hear it,” he said, far too pleased with himself.“I want you to hear nothing,” I mumbled through my fingers. “In fact, I’d like to revoke speaking privileges for the rest of the day.”He laughed softly, that low rumble that made my pulse skip. “Too late, Jay. Confession received, processed, and permanently saved in memory.”I peeked at him through my fingers. “You’re impossible.”He took a step closer, the air instantly tightening. “And yet,” he said quietly, “you keep me around.”I lowered my hands, giving him a flat look that didn’t hide the way my heart was racing. “You’re exhausting.”“You love it.”“Stop saying that.”“Stop proving me right, then.”

~~Dahlia~~Mad. Angry. Sad. Or even happy I didn’t know which emotion to feel anymore. They were all buzzing in my chest like static, colliding and twisting until I couldn’t tell one from the other.Because honestly? My life had become one giant public humiliation reel.I couldn’t even go out on a casual lunch with my elite friends without someone whispering or pretending not to take a photo of me from across the table. “Poor Dahlia Fisher,” the headlines said. “Jay Hale… dumped by Dahlia Fisher because she fell out of love for him”Cute, right? The universe apparently decided to make me the center of a cosmic joke. I hell do they mean that I fell out of love with him…. My parent most really hate me to make him look like the victim… the whole city believes I broke the most eligible bachelor’s heart.But what really got me, what boiled my blood, wasn’t the gossip blogs or the endless memes. It was Mom.My dear mother, who had once been ready to auction me off to the Hales like some s

Third Person POVLena inhaled deeply, trying to steady her pulse before answering, her voice smooth despite the chaos roaring inside her.“I’ll do that when I get home, Father,” she said evenly, then ended the call before he could respond.The moment the line went dead, the silence in the Hale mansion shattered.Chairman Hale stood in his private office, his eyes blazing and veins visible against his temple. Then… with a growl that sounded more animal than man, he hurled his phone against the wall. The device hit with a sharp crack and slid down in two pieces.“I thought she had changed!” he roared, pacing like a caged animal. “Why? Why, why, why?! She was so obedient then all of a sudden she back to being useless “Madam Hale, perched elegantly on the couch with a glass of red wine, didn’t even flinch. She crossed one leg over the other, her tone calm but cutting.“Stop yelling, Richard. Your voice is starting to sound… irritating.” She was so done with him, she sounded and even look

Third person POV The drawing room smelled faintly of lemon oil and old money. Afternoon light pooled over the Persian rug where Chairman Fisher to most, but never to his wife paced with the angry energy of a man who’d been stung and was not yet ready to forgive whatever had bitten him.Madam Fisher watched him from the chaise, one perfectly manicured hand tucked around a porcelain cup. Her expression was composed, almost amused. “You do know calling to tease him isn’t helping matters, honey,” she said, voice silk with an edge.Dave stopped and threw her a look that held part apology and part mischief. “I know,” he admitted, a crooked grin tugging up despite himself. “But I couldn’t help it. I wanted to tell him in no uncertain terms that our daughter is not to be trifled with. And, well… to let him know that his son is living with a certain someone now. Can you imagine his face?”Dera let out a soft laugh. “You wanted to announce Jay and Alex are cohabiting the same way one announc

~~Alex~~One moment, I was having the best time of my life Jay’s laughter still ringing in my ears, his lips still ghosting my skin and the next, James had to ruin it. Of course he did. The man has a supernatural talent for calling at the worst possible moment.I walked into his office, still a little flushed and trying to wipe the grin off my face. James was sitting behind his desk, looking infuriatingly pleased with himself. The smug smile was already waiting for me like he’d been practicing it just for this occasion.“Can’t you ever keep information to yourself for once?” I said, shutting the door behind me. “You couldn’t just wait until we met, huh?”James tilted his head back with a chuckle, his pen spinning lazily between his fingers. “Now, where would be the fun in that, Alex?” he said, leaning back in his chair like a cat who’d just eaten the canary. “You should’ve heard your voice over the phone it was priceless.”I glared at him, though it came out more tired than threatenin
