I hope you like the chapter,

"It shouldn't matter to you," I replied just to met with his cocky brow that I knew was a warning.

"It's just Fiona. And she is sleeping."I replied huffing and praying inside that he finally agrees to leave now.

"Just Fiona? She is the woman who tried to frame Edward. The next thing you know she can kill you," He commented irritated like he was seeing the most stupid person on this earth.

"Alex, she is just Fifteen," I whispered because I didn't want her to wake up.

"Fifteen?...." For a second he seemed unsure but then continued, "Come on, you should be more careful given that she is pulling such stunts at only fifteen." Saying this he busted my door open and was standing in my living room to look at the teen girl sleeping.

He didn't seem like he would wake her up but again he was Alex and before he could pull any such stunt, pulling his arm I got him inside my room. And it made me feel tired all of a sudden.

"So, what did you see? Do you really think she can harm anything at all." I asked with my brows raised while I heaved badly. Out of breath almost.

"You never know, Jane. And she accused Edward of all the people. Can you believe that?" He asked me,

"Yes, I can. Because he is someone who hangs around with you. And a person is known with the company he keeps." I replied but felt nauseous all of a sudden.

Getting my first gag I ran for the bathroom and made it on time. It was too embarrassing when I noticed him waiting for me on the bathroom door.

"Are you fine?" He asked while I cleaned my mouth.
"Yea," No, I am expecting your child. And, I don't know why I am not telling you this.

"Alex!" I whisper screamed when coming behind me he got his hands on my waist briefly before he caressed my left tit while sliding his other hand under my shirt effortlessly.

"How much Alcohol you had, to vomit like this? And you tell me that I need to sober up." He said pinching my nipple and, I squealed to his touch.

"I am not fine, Alex. Can I sleep?" I asked exasperated. But he lifted me off the floor and took me into my room saying,
"I think you shouldn't walk then," He said and I huffed in frustration.

My bed wasn't big. It was never meant for two people. And I have cried endless tears lying in this thing that I knew my bed was surprised having a company today. It squeaked when Alex made his place somehow. He made me rested my head over his chest because there wasn't much space after he decided to crash on my bed.

I was thinking about half a million, Fiona, my baby girl, Carol, Evelyn, and Alex. It was too much to take and my eyes soon give in.

I woke to my alarm clock buzzing at 7 am. Looking up I found Alex staring at me. And the morning couldn't be more creepy. Getting out I didn't find Fiona in the living room. So, I went to check in the second room and there she was. I went to my kitchen to chew some crackers so I don't suffer from my usual sickness but I still feel tired and dizzy.

"Are you fine?" I saw Alex standing without any shirt on,
"No," I replied,
"Alex, I need to talk to you about something," I added while fishing out some more snacks from the packet I held.
"What is it?" He asked this time a little serious.

"Not like this, Can you please get to your home first. I need to go and see Fiona's employer and then Carol and I had to go shopping. I will see you at lunchtime."

"Why not you talk to me now and be over it? And when you are going to stop mentioning her name?" Irritation was laced in his tone.

"You mean Fiona," I confirmed.
"Yes," He replied,
"I think you should know that I have adopted her. So, she is associated with me in every sense from now." I announced and he pulled his hair back in frustration and shook his head in disbelief.

He never saw that coming and for the first time, I found him at the loss of words.

"Are you even listening to yourself? Didn't you even think about us? That whore was framing my,......"

"Alex!" I roared and tried to cut him off but it was futile.

"..... friend. You are getting manipulated like you always do and so stupid to see past her lies."

"She is a child, Alex. I don't care if she is lying or not." I tried to get him out of his state but he was fuming when he said,

"Child? Listen to yourself. Children don't get pregnant, my stupid, stupid Jane!" He argued.

"Then let me be, didn't you enjoyed making fool of me. Let's just say she is a cheater and playing with me. It shouldn't concern you! She will cost me money but you cost me, my soul. I tainted my very existence submitting to you. So, please leave and let me have the pride of not breaking in front of you again." I said trying very hard for not letting my voice break. So, I turn my back to him.

He did stand for a moment or two but left. I didn't expect that he would leave but relieved that he did. I couldn't help but think of his safety while he would drive in such strain.

Carol and I went to the owner of the restaurant and talked to her about Fiona so she doesn't worry. We took Fiona out for new warmer maternity clothes. I too wanted to buy something but it felt too soon. Though I could feel the change in my body I knew I wouldn't need any maternity clothes soon.

We went out and I was tired after only an hour of shopping. The girls seemed happy and I tried to laugh once or twice too but I couldn't stop thinking about Carol.

Carol didn't receive any phone calls from Antonio's men and believed Alex helped her out. But I knew the truth and it was a little unsettling.

But there was another worry in the back of my head. How he would react after knowing about my pregnancy?

"I have something to be at," I excused myself and Carol assured me that she will take Fiona to my place. So, I offered my keys to Fiona.

I didn't waste a minute to get the Uber to his place and prayed for everything to be fine.

Alex POV

"Send me a report, yea, no, I am here at my office," I called for Jacob to brief me the marketing report while I couldn't stop thinking about Jane for a single moment. The woman who wasn't getting out of my system. The more I get the taste of her the more I was craving for her.

Signs were always there. I wanted her. She said no, but I still wanted her. But isn't she at fault? She could have said yes, like any other woman. She could have asked for expansive gifts but no. She didn't want my looks or my money. All she wanted was her ex-husband. The one who cheated on her. The more I got to know her the more she got difficult.

She had the ability to turn any man to the beast. My hands were shivering to touch her. She was my drug and I wanted to stay high all the time. She was right, making her fool was fun. And it could have continued if she hadn't find out. Fuck. I hissed throwing another dart to the board.

I wanted her back on her own, just for once, and she did come back. No matter how much I tried to tell myself that it was for me but no it was for her friend. I could have live with that but she had to chose that whore on the street and keep her beside her.

Fuck, she even refers to herself as any other woman. "You are not any other woman Jane. You are damn so royal." And with this, my mind went to her lips. To how she whimpers underneath me.

"Only if I could have your heart. And I will get your heart, Jane. By hook or by crook." But there is only one problem this time, I didn't have a plan this time. I was out of all those strategies of mine and she was becoming a difficult puzzle with each passing minute.

I want to have your heart, too Jane. At any price, at any cost. I just want to hold you every fu*king second. I looked at the clock striking 12 and though I knew she might decide not to come at lunchtime after our little argument in the morning, I couldn't help getting to my place.

Getting in I got a call from my friend Dan who had his wedding in less than a month now. "Hey?" His voice came.

"I can't do it. I know her for the last seven years." He added and I couldn't help cursing at him.

I recalled an event from a week ago. We were at his bachelor party that I arranged and he shared about his fiance being pregnant. Everyone congrats him while I asked if he had done the paternity test.

And he was considering it now but has to become a c*nt about it. How difficult it could be to ask from your spouse for this test. It was a common-sense right? Every other woman should be understanding about it. No man wants to raise another man's baby.

"Listen to you, Pu*sy, any cu*t who comes to you claiming she is pregnant with you, you ask for a paternity test and that includes your fiance too. It is as normal as breathing. Do you want to raise another man's spawn? no! And I dare you to call me for this same thing again." I was getting agitated and turn to throw the cell phone on the couch when I noticed Jane standing behind me.

I froze in an instant. She was here on her own. Without me doing anything at all. I never feel like this. Being at lost of words is not me. I knew I owned her in every sense. I am was in love with this stupid bird.

So, I did for what I was aching for, I marched to kiss those luscious lips and held those perky sets of titties. And the moment my hands touched her back I felt the bliss of her warm body against mine. I kissed her cheek tenderly before letting my mouth lost in her beautiful neck. She smells like fresh morning while my greedy hands wasted no time to get the hem of her white shirt out of her blue jeans and feel her bare skin.

"Alex, I need to talk to you," She breathed shivering in my arms.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I want that alimony. The one million you were talking about." Her words put the bucket of Ice on my body.

Has she gone mad? I wonder.

I was giving her my companionship, a wedding, a marriage, I might be faithful to her because I know this drug was not wearing out any time soon. And she only wanted one million and be away from me.

"You are kidding. Aren't you?" I asked looking at her face and tried to find if something was bothering her.

"No," Her reply came stirring the agitation in me. Making my grip on her hair strong I titled her head back and whispered against her lips.

"You can have one million, Jane. I don't have any issues. But don't say it is your alimony. That's far gone. You are mine now. Are you getting me?" I asked,

I wanted her to say yes or be understanding but no, her next words dared me.
"So, should I start considering whatever you brag about is nothing but mere empty words?"

"What did you say?" I asked all the while leaving her and calling for my butler to bring me my checkbook.

"Take this Jane, but you know it is not done," I warned her.

"Next time you want someone for seven days for a million, call me anytime, Alex." She said receiving the cheque and I froze.

She is kidding. She was playing with me. But it hurts. The woman I so want to see righteous was talking like a slut and it was cutting me.

"What the fu*k is wrong with you?" I hissed jerking her shoulders.
"There is nothing wrong with me, Alex. It's just business. I can never be in love with you. And, you don't seem to leave me alone. So, I thought of having some profit out of it and it makes sense more than anything in this world." She didn't stutter saying such words. Somewhere I know this is not true but she can't talk to me like this and expect me to believe her and see good in her. I am not this patient. I wanted that mouth saying words as she loved me and I am the only man to her. I wanted the words that would make me at ease not at the point of agitation.

"Get out of here," I said but wondered how I would ever manage to be without her. She turned her heels around while my hands shivered to get her back. Pull her hair and spank the sense out of her.

She was going away but I couldn't sit idle. For a second, I wanted her back even if it was for money but I refuse to be this pathetic.

She was unhealthy for me. Toxic to my existence. I wanted her love but I knew I couldn't be this patient. So, I decided the first thing that came into my mind. I wanted her out of my system. I knew withdrawal will be hard to handle but I was ready to try it.

"Hello, Simon," I called,
"I want you to stop giving me details on Miss Jane Monroe," I ordered.
"Yes, Sir." He replied.
"But you will keep an eye on her and call me the moment she met any man who looks like her date or anything," I ordered and cursed myself inwardly.

I called for an escort to bed with me and kept her for the whole night. I was adamant to not think about Jane. She was nothing, I tried to chant in my mind but couldn't help wanting her back. But I enjoyed sex with that blonde girl the whole night.

The last thing I wanted was to be alone and mourn like a stupid lover that I never was my whole life and I reject to be one even now.

With Jane, I never cared about protection. It was natural without any boundary. Fuck! I hissed. I knew I was back to square one.

I ordered that woman to head back in the morning but what after that? I was alone at my breakfast table. There was no call from Simon and I think I should be at peace, right?

5 days later!

I never felt more stupid than now ever while parking my car in front of her apartment building when I knew that chances of seeing her were nothing. I was this close to getting out of my car and barge into her apartment when I saw her on the street with her blonde friend and that gold digger.

Jane was smiling over something and her hands held shopping bags. I guess she was spending my money without any worry. I wanted to see her in the same pain as me but she looked more than fine. Happy instead. Jane stopped for a moment and looked at my car. Does she know it's my car? But next, she gets into that red brick building and disappeared again.

I knew I can get over her. I had to do this. There is nothing that can rule me. Not Jane at least. She was just any woman.

10 days later,

The whole club was themed dark for its annual party. It was pack and millions poured in while people kept on losing their games over slots.

Even the friends I didn't invite were there only because they knew I must be here today because I had a meeting with a person named Xi, here. None of the people sitting in my private VVIP space were important or close to me but I chose to bear them because anything was better than getting to my place where I knew I will have a hard time not getting my car out and drive to her place.

I inhaled the feminine perfume of the woman who was sitting beside me while my hands dig deeper inside her thighs. The contract was signed between Xi and I but he decided to stay and play a friendly game. The dealer approached to set the table for us while the girl sitting on Xi's thigh was acting childish with each passing moment. She even dared to pass me a sultry look all the while playing with Xi's tie.

Some techno music was on the play and even this VVIP hall was starting to cram. My eyes went to my cell phone. I didn't get any call from Simon. But it was only making me more impatient.

I knew something was on the way but can't really point on it. That girl sitting beside me smells good and my hand traveled up more. She was soft and had lovely curves but somewhere Jane sitting on someone else flashed in my head and I was in my senses like someone threw a cold bucket of water on me.

This is not possible. She is not a woman like this. I tried to relax.

You never know, Alex. She is just a woman too. Remember the mother you think loved you. And Jane is a free woman, and beautiful, and stupid. My mind sneered,

"I am leaving," I announced at the table and Xi's expressions changed but soon he passed a smile and contrary to my thought decided to stay in the club for more.

Steering my car I called Simon, "Where is she?" I asked,

"Miss, Jane is at the hospital as per my latest report." I heard Simon say and barely saved me from hitting the car coming at full speed.

I am so sorry for being late. But I will try to update the next chapter soon and hopefully, her pregnancy will be revealed to Alex in the next chapter.
