All Chapters of I Carried The Wrong Sperm : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~ Loise ~My breath caught in my throat the more he leaned toward me, and the closer his face came, the harder my heart seemed to pound against my chest, as though it had suddenly decided that this was the perfect moment to betray me, because why else would it be beating so damn loudly over a man who wasn't even mine?I shut my eyes. I don't know why I did it, but I did.Maybe I was expecting his lips to touch mine, maybe I was simply too embarrassed to keep staring at him while he was that close, or maybe some tiny, traitorous part of me actually wanted him to kiss me.But the expected kiss never came.Instead, I felt his arm move slightly, followed by the unmistakable click of the seatbelt being pulled across my body.My eyes snapped open.Alex was already back in his seat, both hands on the steering wheel as though nothing had happened.I stared at him, and he glanced at me briefly.“What?”I opened my mouth, then closed it again.“You…”“What?”“You were…”He waited, and I swallow

~ Loise ~“Get down!” Alex yelled, and before I knew it, I was crouching down, my heart thumping furiously beneath my chest while Alex rushed out once more, leaving me frozen in place as I tried to understand what the hell was happening. I had never heard a gunshot that close before, and the sound seemed to have settled into my bones, making every muscle in my body tense. I stayed there until I heard footsteps in the living room again, and when I finally raised my head, I saw it was Alex. I quickly rushed over, my eyes scanning him as my hands trembled, searching for any obvious injury.“You're bleeding,” I pointed out the wound on his abdomen, but he glanced at it just for a moment before he pulled my hand abruptly, his eyes moving over me from head to toe as though he needed to make sure I was still in one piece.“Do you feel okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”The sudden burst of care from him made me furrow my brows in confusion, because one minute he was reminding me that I'm just a m

~ Bella ~Earlier, I had been absolutely furious when Andrew told me that Alex had taken a bullet for that surrogate. Apparently, she had been the actual target because of the child growing inside her, yet somehow, Alex had ended up being the one the bullet touched, which was enough to make my blood run cold. When I saw his pale face and the blood soaking through his shirt, something inside me snapped, and coupled with the fact that the thought of her carrying Alex's first heir had never sat right with me, I knew I had to teach her a lesson. I did get my hand on that annoyingly pretty face I'd always wanted to slap, although what I hadn't expected was for the maid's daughter to slap me right back. That girl had some nerve.I was still touching my cheek when I stepped outside, my jaw clenched so tightly that it hurt, and the worst part wasn't even the slap itself, although my face was still burning from it, but the fact that Alex had pushed me away when he arrived instead of immediate

~ Loise ~“What's so funny?” Bella pointed a finger at me, her eyes narrowing, before turning toward Alex.“Babe, what is she even doing in your room?”Alex calmly stared at her.“Loise is part of the company now, I was looking at her designs,” he said simply, and Bella's gaze immediately shifted back to me, slowly moving from my face to the papers on Alex's desk, and I knew exactly what that look meant because I had seen variations of it from people like her before – that silent question of what could someone like you possibly contribute?“How can you just hire anyone into your company, Alex?” she asked, her tone carrying disbelief, “does she even know what to do or how to work a job other than being a waitress?”I felt my fingers tighten slightly around the edge of the paper I was holding, because no matter how many times Bella looked down on me, hearing her reduce my worth still managed to sting, especially because she said it as though working as a waitress was something shameful.

~ Loise ~ “You're not different from a child,” he said, shaking his head as he pulled away.I blinked at him, completely confused because, wasn't he about to kiss me? I mean, that's what usually happens in the movies, right? The protagonists would go on a dinner date, stare at the moon together, have some dramatic eye contact, and then, before you knew it, they would finally kiss under the beautiful night sky. So why had he pulled away?“You had sauce on your lip,” he explained, and I quickly realized what had just happened.Oh.The embarrassment hit me so fast that I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole.“Oh, uhm… thank you,” I mumbled, clearing my throat as I quickly turned around and rushed toward the car, desperately trying to escape the situation before I embarrassed myself any further. Unfortunately, apparently the universe wasn't done humiliating me. My foot caught against something, and I nearly stumbled forward, but before I could hit the ground, Alex's arm wrap
