Chapter 140

© Christiana’s POV,

It had been a week. Seven long, excruciating days where Alex barely spoke to me beyond the necessities. Seven days where the tension in the air was thick enough to cut with a knife. Seven days of watching him FaceTime the kids with a warmth and love that didn’t extend to me

When it came to me, his words were sharp, his tone clipped. The way he said my name felt like a punishment in itself, a constant reminder of his

anger.

1 sank onto the edge of the couch, running my fingers through my hair. “What was I thinking?” I muttered to myself, staring blankly at the coffee table. The question had haunted me since the moment we got back from Daniel’s house.

picked up my phone and stared at Alex’s number for what felt like the hundredth time that day. My thumb hovered over the call button, but I couldn’t bring myself to press it. Every time I tried, I remembered the way he’d looked at me that day..his eyes filled with hurt and anger.

I stood abruptly, pacing the length of the living room. “He’s still here,” I said aloud, trying to reassure myself. Alex hadn’t left. He was still in town, still FaceTiming the kids every night, still ensuring his men were stationed nearby to watch over us. He was angry, yes, but he hadn’t walked away. Not yet

But how long would that last?

The door to the suite opened, and Emma came running in, her laughter filling the space as Ethan followed close behind. I forced a smile, kneeling down to greet them. “How was your time with Nanny Clara?”

“Good!” Emma exclaimed, holding up a piece of paper. “I finished my castle drawing, Mom! Can we show Daddy tonight?”

I froze for a moment, then nodded. “Of course, sweetheart. I’m sure Daddy will love it.”

“Do you think he’ll come visit soon? Eihan asked, his wide eyes full of innocence.

“I don’t know, baby,” I said softly, brushing his hair back. “But he’ll call you tonight, like he always does.”
