Kyle's POV"Stay here for now, okay? Dad will get something to clean your hands," I said after sitting Antares on the bed. I took him to my room because I didn't want to disturb Ale, who might be resting.Antares was quite controllable, even though it was a little hard to believe that at less than six months old, he had already reached optimal development.His posture looked better than other babies his age. He was sturdy and strong. I looked at him proudly every time he did something new. Even though it had only been a few hours since I had interacted with him this closely.Strangely, his mother wasn't looking for him at all. That was unusual. Did Ale deliberately give me and Antares time to get closer?But doesn't she dislike me touching her baby, who is also my baby?"Now, give me your hand. If your mother sees you this dirty, she will be angry with me," I said again, and this adorable baby laughed.I unconsciously laughed too and kissed his belly until he laughed loudly. And unexp

Alejandra's POVTwo months later..."Thank you for agreeing to join the project I'm working on again," said Ben as we inspected the construction of a hospital and several residential houses on Heteros Island."You must have forgotten that I have a company under my name under BM Construction and Design."“Ah, yes... you’re right. Shine in Millian,” he replied, and I laughed.“Even though the company is fictional, I’m quite happy.”Ben laughed, then pulled me into his arms. "I'll register a real company for you," he said, but I shook my head. "Well... I'm not really ambitious in any field anymore. If you want, I can work on the project, but only as a freelancer. I want to happily fulfill my role as a housewife and a mother."He smiled. "Sure. I'll always need you on every project. Your designs are amazing, Ale. You're very talented.""Thank you. That compliment is quite comforting in the current situation," I said, forcing a smile. However, Ben seemed to know what was on my mind."You'

Alejandra's POVThe shocking news Jeremiah told me left me stunned for a moment. For the first time, he decided not to come with us right away. He would follow after finishing all his work in Avelios. One of those tasks was the hospital.He had already found candidates for nurses and doctors who would work there. Most of them were from Heteros Island and several other islands. In fact, some were from Eastonville.Jeremiah was already dressed neatly when Ben and I were about to get into the car to rush to the airport."Let me know whatever happens there," he said. I just nodded and threw myself into his warm embrace. He held me tightly before pulling me away and kissing me on the lips. "Remember what I said?""I remember."He nodded. "Take care of yourself and Antares. Call me when you have time," he added."Why don't you just come with us if you're so worried about how things will be there?" Ben retorted irritably, which made Jeremiah and me laugh.I waved as I got into the car. And J

Alejandra's POVI waited anxiously for Ben. Antares was fast asleep and the servants were busy preparing lunch for us, or so they should have been. However, Ben sent me a message.[Ben: How was your day? Have lunch first, I'll be home late. I have some work to finish.]It was unusual for Ben to send a message. He would call me directly if he wanted to make sure I was okay, and sometimes he would make a video call to see how Antares was doing.But today felt strange. To calm myself down, I called Jeremiah. He answered the call, but switched it to a video call."Are you working?" I asked, and he mumbled in response."The hospital isn't completely finished yet, but I'm selecting candidates for doctors and nurses to start working here," he replied. "Is Ben back yet?""He's taking care of work. I don't know if his meeting with Kyle went well or not, but I can't wait for him to tell me all about it.""He'll be fine. Relax. Ben is a king, he knows what to do."I nodded. "You're right. I'm ju

Alejandra's POVBen left Kyle and me alone in the living room while he went to the kitchen and Alea followed him.I didn't like seeing that because Alea was Ben's ex-wife. Or maybe there had never been a divorce between them. However, I pushed away any bad thoughts I had about them. Alea seemed so in love with Kyle, and that felt better."I don't love her," Kyle said suddenly, startling me and making me turn to him. "I know you didn't ask. I just want you to know that I don't have feelings for her. Not at all. Everything is still the same. You. It never changes."I snorted, but didn't turn to look at him again. "How are you?" he asked, but again I didn't answer. "I'm trying to protect what I should protect, Ale. One of those things is Lyra.""Why didn't you say you married Ben's wife? Why didn't you explain anything?" I asked without answering his question, and he looked confused. "I didn't know she was Ben's wife either. All I knew was that she was Lex in disguise again. Did I get
