The story is about to take some real time turns and I can only hope that you people like it. *Nervous*
But remember no matter how many characters I introduce the main focus will always be Jane and Alex.
Please, follow me on Wattpad if you are not following me already.
And, remember I am really blessed to have you all. Sometimes I wonder how I have all of you when I surely lack a lot.

"You will see him shortly," She replied before leaving.
I didn't take a seat thinking I will leave as soon as I finish my business here. I was still not sure how he would act after finding my pregnancy. Will he accept this child? Or maybe he would be so upset from our last encounter that he would ask me to leave this house. I recalled how insane he looked when I claimed to commit infidelity. Well, that was the matter of concern for later; I don't even know how to tell him about my pregnancy.
Five minutes passed and my heartbeat just quickened. I couldn't help but reminisce about all those times here with him, especially our times in the kitchen. "It was so stupid of me," I whispered.
"Wonderful times, right?" I turned to find him coming down from that grand white staircase in his white robe. He was just like he was two weeks ago with that same smirk on his face. My chest felt tightened and hands get sweaty while he was getting close with each passing second. I got this, no I don't.
"I am here to talk," I said taking my step back, and lifting my hands up the moment he tried to wrap his arms around me. Is this man for real?
"You don't need to feel sorry, Jane. It is all behind us now." He said engulfing me in his arms. I felt his mouth giving a peck on my shoulder as he held me tighter while I hardly manage to keep my feet balanced on the floor. I was about to make an effort to get away from him when he whispered,
"I missed you,"
He is lying Jane, My mind warned me while his big hands traveled to grab my ass. I jumped a little but I was in some daze against his hard chest.
Collecting my courage I gulped hard before whispering. "I am not here to say, sorry."
He didn't let go and replied, "Yes, honey, this is what I am saying, there is no need to say sorry,"
I knew he has lost it and I should avoid this man at all costs. "I am here to return these," I said and he let go of me to look at the table to where I was pointing my finger.
"So, you really want to do it this way." He said rubbing his mouth with his left hand.
"I am not here to play any games, Alex. So, you better take these back and stop keeping tabs on me," I said and this made him look at me. His eyes held a little shock before a devilish smile adorned his lips.
"Stop having wedding blues, Jane. We don't have time for this. There is a lot to do," He told me like we were a real couple and I am the one talking nonsense.
"Last time I found you with a naked woman, Alex. What makes you think I will marry a man like you?" I didn't want to talk about the incident but giving him a wakeup call was necessary.
"She wasn't naked. She was just a model for an interview there. You tell! Is white fine with you? This is our favorite color right?" He calmly said taking a seat on the couch. His robe open was a distraction as the only cloth he was wearing was his boxers. But I looked at his face that has utter calm. Like cheating on someone was not even a matter for him.
This world would have been far better without a cheater ass like him. The anger surged in me when taking a step forward I growled,
"I don't need your lies, Alex. So, stop fu*king doing it,"
But pulling my hand he made me fall on his lap. A gasp escaped my lips when leaning on my lips he said, "You can't take the truth, Jane."
"I don't need anything from you, Alex." I gritted and tried to get up but securing his arm around me he said,
"No, take this Jane, and the truth is that I will marry you at any cost." I looked at his face that told me that he wasn't telling any joke. "You will be Mrs. Black knowing all too well that I can give you anything but my loyalty. This is not in me. But I want you."
"You have lost your mind," I jumped and struggled to get out of his hold but couldn't while my mind was still processing his fu*ked up arrangement.
"No, I am just giving you truths, you were dying to know," He replied,
"I am not marrying a prick like you even if you come with loyalty, not in a million years," I said as I stopped struggling because I didn't want to make him use any force on me but felt something poking under my back. And, it made me inhale deeply.
"We can talk about other matters in my room." He said against my neck and I swear I was this close to punching him. How I was ever supposed to tell this jerk that he was going to be a father? And, not to forget the matter with Carol.
"I don't want to talk to you about anything," I said with determination but my mind screamed about carol.
"Are you sure, darling?" He asked with his mouth still lost in my neck.
"There is something," I replied,
"I am sure, it can wait," was his reply while his hand traveled to my inner thigh "No, it can't," I replied making use of any last thread of sanity left in me.
"It better be important because I hate to talk when all I want to do is devour you." He replied keeping his hand still there on my leg.
"I have a friend, Carol. Someone used her name for taking a huge loan from Antonio Guterres. It is half a million and there are some horrible people after her," I said and stopped not knowing how to make him know that I am asking for his help.
"And how does it concern me or us?" He asked,
"She really needs some help," I pleaded,
"So, am I," He replied making his grip on my thigh even tighter.
"If you think I will bed with you so you could lend some help to my friend, you are insane." I threw the words at his face but he looked unfazed.
"How can you scoop this low?" I asked,
"It is not like I have an image to keep in front of you," He said before placing a peck on my nose. "I am so in love with you, and that's I am telling you the truth," He said grazing my cheek and I almost fell for his sugary words but then all of his lies and ways came back at me rushing, and I knew it was just another lie,
"Can you please help my friend?" I asked,
"Anything for Mrs. Black," He said looking into my eyes and I saw nothing but lust. The last thing I wanted was to be intimate with him even if it cost Carol but there was a hope that he would help without asking for this in exchange but no. My hope died the moment he leaned in to take my mouth with his warm and gentle tease while his other hand worked on my zip. His kiss was exactly it was used to be three weeks ago.
"Alex?" I called him breaking the kiss and getting a little straight.
"Can't I have some rest? I am just home, you see," I lied to get away,
"You are really bad at this," He said against my lips and I knew I was caught.
"It's fine, you are bound to master such skills living with me," I heard him say and I knew my cheeks were tomato red. Why it was so easy for these men to lie and not for me? I thought.
"At least you can give me a day with you so we can talk about our wedding arrangement and I can have enough time to teach you about how amazing this arrangement can be," He said and I decided to keep my silence until he helps out Carol.
He offered me a brunch that I gladly accepted. I was hungry and tired all the time. I have heard that woman gets tired when they are pregnant but never knew it could be this severe.
"You look tired," He said as he sips on his coffee. Wow, you noticed?
I looked at his underdress self and muttered, "It's just the flight and moving." Come on, call that gangster friend of yours already, I shrieked in my brain. And it was like heaven listened because I heard him saying "Antonio?" on his phone and my pulse quickened in excitement.
"Yea," He said,
"Hmm," He said after a whole minute.
"I don't care if she is lying or not. Take care of her." He said and I got confused. They were not talking about Carol. I mean, I hope not. Because his voice doesn't sound pleasant.
"Ed is a friend. So, bros before hoes." I heard him say and now I couldn't make myself listen to his sexist conversation and took my plate to the sink. People like him can go to hell for all I care as long as Carol is out of her trouble unscathed.
"Yea, fine," He said before cutting the call.
He cuts the call but, wait he never talked about Carol. "What about Carol?" I asked giving him my frustrated raised brow.
"Oh, I forgot. Why don't I talk to him in the evening and we catch up on the things we really missed."
"What things"? I asked though I knew what he was referring to.
"Come here," He said extending his hand for me. This is for, Carol, All you have to do is to buy yourself some time, I told myself.
I followed and the moment I was close enough, holding my wrist in his hands he leads me to sit on his thigh.
What the hell happened to only talk to him and leaving soon? My brain sneered.
"I knew you will come back," He whispered leaning to my earlobe. His lust was evident in his warm breaths on my neck.
"You have no idea how hard I become only looking at you." His mouth moaned the words against my shoulder while his hands roamed on my body. Is this the right time to tell him about our pregnancy? I wondered.
I couldn't help but feel desired with his wanton touch. I wondered if I was doing it for, Carol anymore. But, then his words about not being loyal to me echoed in my brain. And, I knew I have to stop this.

If you can offer me 600 plus votes on this chapter and 2000 votes cumulative on this book I will be very thankful and update in an instant.
I published on more than 5 sites and will have such conditions. It is possible that some other site completes the conditions first. In that case, I will tell you about the site on which the next chapter has been published before it is published on Wattpad.
For cumulative votes, you need to see if there is any chapter in this book or in book 1 you haven't vote.
And, yes, I am not getting notifications lately. There are so many comments I never saw in notification feed but were given in my chapter. A lot of people are experiencing the same problem. It can also be the case that I publish this story and you are not getting the notification for an update for the next two hours.
Have a great day!
