*Nina*When I got home, everyone had already retired to bed. My triplets were sleeping peacefully.Quietly, I dropped my bag. I brought out my phone and texted Alexander to thank him for the ride. I thought I was just being polite.Even after I came out of the bathroom, I got no response from him. What was I thinking? How can a human being be warm and cold at the same time?I sighed and went to sleep.The next day, I went to work earlier than usual. I needed to finish this project already.By 6:30 p.m., I was done with the calculation part.I was still trying to figure out how to put everything into a presentation format that would make it easier for the boss to present and explain during the bidding when Marcus walked in.He saw me thinking hard and let out a mocking laugh."I warned you countless times to back out, but you refused. I won't let you off the hook if we fail this time," he sneered.I ignored him and continued focusing on the computer.He stood there for a while before pi

Nina's POV When I got home, Sarah was bathing the kids. I took over from her while she went to start preparing dinner. “Mummy, you look so happy today,” Ethan pointed out. “Yes, sweetheart. Mom got a promotion.” “Wow, Mummy! Does it mean I can get treated now?” Finn asked, looking a little pale as usual. “Very soon, baby.” After I was done dressing them, I went to the kitchen to help Sarah. “Ma'am, you don't have to do that,” she said immediately as I picked up the vegetables to cut. “Don't worry, I can handle it. Just focus on the rice.” She nodded and continued cooking. “Sarah.” She looked up at me, still holding the pot lid. “Yes, ma'am?” “Thank you for taking care of my kids, especially Finn.” “It's my job, ma'am. Besides, they're good kids. It's easy taking care of them.” She smiled at me.

Nina's POVThe office door swung open without a knock.Only someone who is very familiar with Alexander would walk into his office without knocking.I wasn't expecting that person to be Liana.I kept my head down and pretended to focus on the files in front of me, hoping she wouldn't notice me.She tossed her designer handbag onto Alexander's desk without a care in the world. Alexander shifted slightly in his seat before adjusting his tie, his expression unreadable.From my desk, I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could see enough.Liana stood far too close to him, smiling as if they shared a secret.My stomach twisted.What exactly was their relationship?Wasn't she supposedly in love with Nolan? She claimed she loved him enough to steal him from me, yet here she was, acting overly familiar with Alexander.I shook the thought away. It wasn't my business.I returned

NinaI struggled with the zipper of the red gown I was wearing. After trying several times, I finally called out for help, but no one answered.A few seconds later, I heard footsteps approaching. At first, I assumed it was one of the female staff members. Then a familiar scent filled my nose.Alexander.I remained still, pretending not to notice it was him. Judging by the way he quietly walked in without saying a word, I knew he didn't want me to feel uncomfortable.He gently pulled the zipper upward. For some reason, my heartbeat quickened.His fingers paused halfway, as though he had seen something he wasn't expecting. He stood frozen for a brief moment before silently stepping away and walking out.Thankfully, the zipper was now within my reach, so I finished zipping it myself.When I stepped out, I stopped in front of the mirror.The gown fit perfectly. For a moment, I couldn't help but admire my reflection before leaving to look for Alexander.I found him standing at the payment

Nina's POVThe traffic from Zoe's place to my workplace was terrible, and the distance wasn't exactly short either.Thankfully, I had been paid for the month and even received a bonus. It was enough to rent a new place and finally enroll Ethan and Mia in daycare. Finn wouldn't be going because he was still responding to treatment at the hospital.This way, Sarah wouldn't have to carry the burden alone. She could focus entirely on caring for Finn, while Ethan and Mia would spend their days at daycare.Zoe had hired Sarah specifically to look after my children. Now that we'd moved out, she would have a little more time for herself while caring for Finn, and the other two would be well looked after.The house wasn't as luxurious as Zoe's, but it was enough for me and the kids. Besides, it was within walking distance of the company.***That morning, I was busy organizing Alexander's meeting when I received a call from the receptionist.A man insisted on seeing me. I frowned in confusion.
