Eva's Pov

"Mummy Can I have this?"

My baby said and pointed her hand toward a toy which she had already. I looked at her with narrow eyes trying to scare her away but to my disappointment she too looked at me without getting any bit scared.

"You have this already baby"

I said softy this time she pouted laying her head on my shoulder. She encircled her arms around my neck abs snuggled in my neck just like her father!

Currently I was buying some stuff for my use but as one of my habit I came to children section to my buy few things for Isa.

Here She spotted a toy car which she have already but the color was different.

We roamed here and there for a bit more and then we decided to return home when my cell ringed.

It was him.

Alexander

Smiling I picked the call and pressed it to my ear. For a second there was only silences.

"Hello?"

"Wife?"

His raspy voice reached my ear and I blushed. He always call me wife like I didn't even remember the last time he called me with my name!

"Hmm?"

"Where are you?"

He didn't sounded much right. His voice was heavy and like he was breathing hard. My inner self panicked but I tried to maintain my posture

"Xann are you alright?"

"Wife! I asked where are you?"

He gritted?

Why he is angry?

I felt a hit hurt but I tried to wave it off.

"In mall"

I answered timidly. He didn't answered anything for a minute only took few deep breaths but then said.

"Can you please come to my office now?"

He asked this time his tone was soft. I felt happy knowing he again understood I didn't like his angry tone.

A smile come to my lips at his request. I too wanted to be near him right now. I wasn't feeling much well and that's why I decided to have a tour with my daughter.

"Sure I'll be there in few minutes"

I said to which he hummed. Without thinking anything I quickly run out and sat inside the car.

Telling max to drop me to his office I peak at Isa only to see she was sleeping.

She really is a sleepy head!

Her face was nuzzled in my neck and she was holding me tightly. I too holded her tightly remembering what happened today.

Things are going good in my college if we ignore the continuous stare of some people and.....nick.

He approachs me daily but I always escape before he can say anything but today he got a hold on me. I don't know why but I didn't get much good vibes from him.

But after today I think he isn't that bad!

When he stopped me and unexpectedly holded my hand and he asked me why I am ignoring him to which I obviously replied I wasn't! But later he just joked that

'Is it your husband who is too possessive that he ordered you not to talk any boy? Or you aren't comfortable?'

Well...that's partial true!

Both the options.

But i just laughed at him waving that matter away. But his sentence only remind me his sentence which made me blush.

Before I can say anything much I saw Max-The driver standing there signaling me to come.

"Nothing. I was just too busy with new surroundings."

The excuse I made was partially true again. I withdrawed my hand from his hold. Even it doesn't meant anything I don't like any bodies touch..

Except my husband's

"Oh! And Eva sorry if I made you uncomfortable. it's just you were the only one I know here so..I thought to mingle with you."

He said.

I looked at him not knowing what to say..so I just nodded my head. It was getting awkward to stand there any second more so I just took my excuse and run toward Max.

"Eva dear we are here"

My thoughts broke hearing Max voice. I nodded at him and come out of car hold Isa securely to my chest. She still was sleeping and I know she will wake up only when her father will tinglish her like he do when he come home.

I was making my way toward his cabin when I heard people murmuring. They were speaking in a hushed tone. Ignoring them I made my way to the receptionist. She looked tensed like something happened.

Alexander too wasn't sounding soo well..a fear Rose inside me thinking anything bad happening to him. Walking to the lady who is in late forties sitting on the reception I asked her in hushed tone.

"Anything happened here Miss rose?"

Hearing me she looked up and stood up in respect.

"Good evening Mrs knight. I was just looking at the visitor list so I didn't saw you. And my apology can you repeat?"

Embarrassed I smiled at her abs greeted her. And asked the same question again. To which she look tensed again.

"Umm Actually Miss Layla Johnsons made a visit here and Mr.knight isn't happy with it"

She said and my body frozen. I frown at this. Why do she need to visit here. From Alexander's reaction I know he hates Layla then why she visited him.

Frowning I made my way to his cabin which was close. I know his mood will not be much good so I decided not to angry him up and knocked on the door.
After a second I heard his goofy voice

"Come in"

Alexander's pov

My mind will burst with the thought I was having now. My mind was getting all negative ideas it can get but what was making it go stop was

My little wife's innocent face.

Whenever I think something wrong about her, innocent face appear in front of my eyes making my thought come to halt.

And then I decided to call her. To call her here in front of me. In front of my eyes. In my arms.

Where she belongs..

I sat on my chair with those photos in front of me. I can't help but feel a bit hurt too. Hurt that she didn't shared anything with me.

I don't know these photos are right or wrong but looking at them made me feel jealous...extremely jealous.

He was touching what's mine and that was enough to provoke my angry. I know it's wrong to think like that. But I can't help.

Eva is now a part of me which is something I am never letting go!

Never ever!

But if these photos are right! She have a hell waiting for her!

I shoot my head getting rid of these thought. I will try not to jump on any conclusions before talking to her but i don't know how much of patience I have for this?

I already was soo angry on her for hiding things from me! I don't know what I will do when I will find her lying to me?

I clench my jaw with the infinite anger with the thought of her lying to me. I don't want her to lie to me.

Because I hate liars!

I fucking hate lie!

And if my precious dear wife will do that I am not sure what I will do!

I heard a knock on the door. Murmuring a come in I collected all the photos and put it in my coat pocket.

Looking up I saw my wife and daughter entering inside. Unexpected. Bella was Unexpected but I think I will need my baby daughter too.

Eva looked up at me with those doe eyes and I felt sudden relief washing over me. I liked the concern which was reflecting from her eyes.

Instantly I forgot all this and walk to the both girls who right now matters the most in my life. I saw Bella was sleeping so I stopped and saw Eva putting her on sofa securely.

It made me smile and doubt at those blames Layla put on her.

Well Layla can go to hell!

As soon as Bella was secured on the sofa I picked Eva up making her gasp. She quickly holded my shoulders for support.

As her body touched mine I felt peace. My inner chaos was silent and I finally felt the relief I was begging for.

She kept looking at my face bodly but the blush was telling my another story. I went to my desk and settled her on the table.

Parting her legs I stand in between with my eyes only on her.

So fucking innocent!

My arms still around her waist as I buried my face in her neck. Smelling her sent which was soothing my heart.

What a irony!

My peace was destroyed because of her and only her was giving me peace again!

She too ruffled my hairs lighty. I lazily run my nose on her neck feeling her soft skin what I felt her hold on my shirt tightly. Her response makes me go out of control and proud too.

I pulled her more into me seeking comfort from her. She never complained about that.

She isn't any bit like Layla!

They are way to different to even compared. How can I even compare them?!

My little wife is way too naive and pure unlike the dirty bitch!

Nuzzling my nose on her skin inhaling the intoxicating smell on her which made me addicted to her I murmured

"I missed you"

She chuckled which made me smile too. We stayed like that for few minutes totally in silence until she broke it.

"Are you fine?"

Her question made me snap my head at her. Her asking this question means she know....that she was here!

My smile faded and I again buried my face in her neck.

"How can I be Wife when she showed her face to me? How can I be WIFE?"

I said honestly. Remembering her those bitter words made entry in my mind again. Those past flashback made me angry and In result I tighten my hold on her.

"Don't worry everything will be fine"

I heard her saying. She rubbed my back trying to comfort me.

"It has to be wife"

I need to ask her!

For my sanity I need to ask her and I need her to be honest with me!

"Wife?"

I called her..my heart beat fasten and breath hitched

"Do you have something to share?"

I asked her.

I tried my best to sound as normal as I can. As I said I felt her relaxed body getting rigid. Her hand stopped but only for few Second.

"N-No"

Lie

My jaw clenched and I pulled away from her humming at her.

"Hmmm"

She look lost.

I felt a sudden pang in my heart seeing her lying to me.

Why?

"Let's go home"

I said. My posture rigid. Hearing me she looked at me with her lost expression. Coming down from my table she stood beside me and looked up at me and there I felt her holding my hand in her small her.

"I am here with you. Hmm OK?"

She said. Oh!so sweetly that my anger almost melted.

I'll ask her again..

I picked Bella in my arms and tighten my hold on my hand walking out.

Once I made Bella securely lay on the back seat I sat on mine. Eva was already sitting there on her seat.

Getting inside I quickly grabbed Eva's hand. It was giving me strength.

Although she lied to me and about that she will be punished soon.

And will be punished hard!

Once we reached home I quickly got out and Eva followed me. Picking Bella up I made my way to her room.

"I'll be in my study."

"Xann I'll prepare your favorite dinner."

I stopped on my track for a second and then hummed.

She acts so sweet but why the hell she has to lie to me? Why isn't she saying the truth!

Banging my Hand on the mahogany table I growled. It's fucking hard! So hard to decide.

My past experience isn't very good to help me with this decision. My past damaged me enought that I am doubting my own wife!

But it was my exwife only who broke my trust!

"Ahh!!"

Suddenly a notification pinged on my call. I picked it up and saw it. By seeing the message my eyes widen. Lips parted and all I felt was pain hurt and confused.

Why she did that?

My heart beat increased seeing the bloody thing on my cell.

This can't be true!

Gulping the fear I started to have because of my past experiences I lost my sanity. Throwing things from the table I cluched my hairs.

After few minutes I decided to find the truth my self! Picking the cell I dialed a number which was received soon.

"I want you to find about something"

"Yes sir"
.
.
.
.
I ended the call after sometime. The fire in my heart was burning me and I was feeling hurt and pain in my heart.

The pain which was familiar to me.

The hurt which was familiar to me.

Sudden I heard a knock and a beautiful face come in view which was the sole reason of My restlessness.

"Come. Dinner is ready"

I clench my jaw at her and got up Holding her hand I pulled her to me. Her chest collided with me a she looked up at me with a confused expression.

"What ha-"

"Why you did that wife?"

hello bubbles...

How are you all?

Hope you all good...

Hope you all like it..

Cliffhanger?

What do you think was in the message?

What do you think that made him this angry?

Isa's made a little entry after long..

How many of you missed her?

Thought about Nick now?

Now we know the reason behind those pictures...

What do you think?

Is Nick a bad news?

Alexander seems soo confused.

He isn't letting Eva go...ever!

Do you think he will be able to keep his this promise?

What do you think will happen next?

Will Alex give her a chance to explain herself?

Why do you think she lied?

Alex is trying hard to resist his past.

What do you think is in his last?
