All Chapters of Oops! I Sexted My Boss On New Year's Eve: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

ALICETwo weeks. That was how long Theo stayed in the hospital.But today was the day he was finally coming home and I was...a wreck. Plain and simple. Francesca asked me to stay calm, but how could I when I hadn't seen him since the day he woke up?I didn't know what his reaction toward me would be, and Francesca flat-out refused to tell me anything he said. The last time I spoke to Thelma, she told me over the phone that Theo was unrecognizable. She cut herself off when I asked her what she meant, probably because she regretted saying that to me. Oliver called me earlier today and told me that he'd be the one bringing him home. He sounded pretty sad and even told me, "Words can't express how sorry I am, Alice. I can only hope that things will...straighten out. You know?"So, it was safe to say that I was expecting the very worst.I wrung my hands together while pacing the living room floor. I breathed in deeply to calm my nerves, but nothing helped. I'd have a drink but I just was

ALICEOliver showed up anyway and he wasn't alone. Francesca came along with him. "I sent you a text message," I said apologetically as they made their way up the steps to reach the front door. "They're gone. Theo asked them to leave to avoid a big mess.""We're here to talk to him," Oliver assured me. Francesca walked up to me and held me tight, and I rubbed her back soothingly. "How are you, my dear?""I've had better days," I answered lightly. "But I'll be alright.""Holding up okay?"I nodded even though I wasn't sure I was. Hell, even now, I felt emotional. I cried whenever I was alone, and it hurt me to look at Theo. Every time I saw that vacant and resentful look in his eyes, it destroyed me. I wasn't sure of how much more I could take.“Yeah,” I answered weakly. God, the lie tasted so bitter on my tongue. Francesca pulled away and kissed my cheek. “We’ll talk to him, alright? There has to be some kind of agreement. He can’t treat you however he wants. You’re his wife.”I

ALICEFor days after that, Theo and I didn't say a word to each other, even though I continued cooking him meals and making sure he was taking his medication accordingly. I just felt so heartbroken by what I heard him say. I knew that was how he felt, but hearing him speak to her on the phone and promising her all those things? That crushed me. There were times when I felt like I couldn't breathe. In fact, I was so distracted by my own pain and suffering that I didn't even realize I'd missed my period. This had happened to me before. Whenever I was too stressed, my period got delayed. This was definitely the most stressed I'd been in a very long time, so that was a perfectly normal answer. But it had never been nearly three weeks late. I took my birth control pill every day, so I knew there was a very slim chance that I was pregnant, but I had to be sure. Naturally, I didn't have a pregnancy test just lying around, so I called Thelma and asked for her help regarding this. "What?

ALICE"Rory?" I asked as soon as he picked up. For a split second before he answered me, it crossed my mind that it could be my mother who texted that just to get me to call back, and honestly, I'd be bummed, but relieved. It was Rory, though. "Alice?""Is everything okay?" I asked hurriedly while trying to stay calm. I didn't want to make him nervous. He had a hard time figuring out what he'd say next and I didn't press him. I just waited. "Mom and Dad are fighting."My heart dropped. I couldn't help it. "Why're they fighting? What're they saying?""Dad..." He paused. "Gambling.""Gambling?" I echoed in disbelief. "Yes."Something inside of me twisted and hardened, but I had to see this through. I had to make sure I had all the information I needed. "And what's Mom saying?""She's angry."There was no way he was making a mistake. I was aware of Thelma watching me, but I couldn't return the look. There was only one reason why I left Rory with my parents without ever worrying, and

ALICE"Rory, what..." Mom shook her head, confused. "What's the meaning of this? Why aren't you in bed!?""Don't yell at him," I reminded her as I reached for the backpack. He put a few things inside, including his pajamas, the recipe book they gave him in his baking class, and his iPad. I walked up to his closet, opened it, and started pulling more clothes out. "Get away from there!" she yelled just as Dad appeared in the doorway. He hadn't said much since I mentioned taking Rory with me, and I wasn't sure how he was taking all this. I didn't have much time to even think about it, though, because Mom was standing in front of me in a flash and her nails were digging into my forearm. "I said get away! Don't touch his things!""You're hurting me!""I want to do worse to you, you selfish brat!" she spat. "How dare you try to ruin our family? You think because you snagged yourself a rich man that you can walk in here and shit all over us? Who the hell do you think you are? That's my son
