Evelyn's POV


The two months that followed our return from Rhodes were blissful. My things were all moved to the master bedroom which was previously Alexander's. The moment we stepped into the house, he carried me bridal style, while kissing me, to our bedroom making once again his. While I was sleeping, he moved all my things to his making it officially ours. We started building the nursery as well. We decided to wait until the baby is born to find out its sex, so the nursery is going to be painted with neutral colors. Yesterday we bought a very cute baby bed along with sheets, pillows, and blankets. Alexander was very helpful and supportive. He actually came with me to shop for the baby and not just giving me his credit card to buy whatever I wanted or thought the baby may need. He was there with me and told his opinion on many matters, too. He showed that he really wanted this baby.

As for our relationship, it couldn't be better. He hasn't told me that he loved me and he'll probably never say it. However, I know that he cares for me as his wife and not as his child's mother. He often stops by the café and sometimes we go back home together to have lunch. He comes home early most of the days, but lately, it seems that he has a lot of work as he returns around 11 or 12 p.m. When he makes love to me, he is careful not to put any weight on my small bump that had formed. Whenever the opportunity arises, he caresses my stomach. Everyone is excited about the baby. Especially Owen and Nadia who are our child's godparents.

Speaking of them they were together now and as happy as they could be. I remember when I called Nadia after returning from the honeymoon she went on and on about Owen. Owen did this, Owen did that. I was happy for her. Owen is a great guy. Recently Nadia confessed to me that she had fallen in love with him. She was afraid of telling him because even though he likes her, he might feel oppressed about her confession and breaks up with her. She said she will wait for the right time to tell him her feelings. I just hope that she will tell him soon and it will go well. I couldn't press her because I was on the same page as I had yet to tell Alexander that I love him. Every time I want to utter those three words something holds me back and I don't open my mouth. Maybe it's because I am afraid that I will be rejected.

I was in my fourth month now and the chances of having a miscarriage have decreased. All my medical examinations showed that the baby was healthy.  Alexander always accompanied me to my appointments and he was inside the doctor's office when we heard our baby's heartbeat. I swear I saw Alexander's eyes becoming glossy. My doctor told me that my due date is in the first ten days of October.

My life was going great. Or so I thought.

I was currently at home surfing the Internet from my laptop before going to the café when I came across an article of Alexander. What shocked me though was the fact that the picture in the article showed Alexander kissing another woman in front of his company's headquarters last night. 

I think for a moment I stopped breathing trying to process what I had just seen and read. How could he? Was I not enough for him? For God's sake, we are going to be parents. So many questions and yet no answer to them. I wasn't going to cry although I wanted to curl into a ball and forget everything. I am going to confront him right now. 

Grabbing my phone and keys I marched out of the house and to my car. He has to tell me the truth. Unfortunately for him, I know when he is lying as his left eye twitches. One lie and I am divorcing him. I told him that if he cheated on me, I would leave. I don't care if he is a powerful billionaire who can turn the situation on me very easily. The fact still remains as it was. He kissed another woman.
