Chapter 56 ~ Unexpected
ATHENA
I'm eleven weeks pregnant, and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Alex accepted the baby so easily.
Well... accepted is an understatement. The man is thrilled.
In the four-plus years I've known him, Alex has always been a wall of steel, cold, distant, and unreadable. But the moment he found out about the baby, something changed.
He never misses a single appointment, insists on carrying my vitamins
everywhere, and watches me like I might break at any moment. It's almost funny. Almost.
But beneath my quiet amusement, there's guilt.
Because no matter how much I want to enjoy this, no matter how much I am enjoying it, one thought keeps gnawing at me.
Is this really happiness? Or is it just another illusion?
I can't shake the feeling that he's only here because of the baby. Without this child, he would have already left.
Left to be with her.
I know better than to fool myself. Time doesn't change everything.
I've been married to Alex for three years, and in all that time, I've never once seen his gaze soften for me the way it does for Leah. It doesn't matter that he sleeps in our home, that he shares my bed. His heart has always been with someone else.
And maybe... maybe that's something I can't live with.
A deep voice pulls me from my thoughts.
"I can see something is troubling you. Is it the food?"
I shiver slightly at the sound of Alex's voice. It's so deep and rough. I feel it grazing my skin every time he speaks, and it makes my legs weak.
Now I see why I'm pregnant. I can never resist this man.
