Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

Chapter 263

#Chapter 263 – Hesitations

It’s almost four o’clock and Victor still isn’t home.

I stand at my kitchen sink with a glass of water, pretending to stare contemplatively out the back window when really I’m just staring anxiously at the black screen of my phone, which is propped up against the window’s glass. The boys are upstairs with their tutor and others – Betas, housekeepers, Burton – bustle around the house behind me, so it’s not like I’m alone.

But still, I feel very alone without any word from my mate.

I sigh, moving my eyes from my phone and to the newly-green trees outside of the window. I know that Victor can handle himself, and that there’s nothing really that I should worry about. If it just wasn’t Amelia…

Amelia, this woman who worked so hard to destroy our lives. Half of me can’t really blame her – Victor did dump her on her wedding day and shack up with me pretty quickly after. Her rage I get. But the violence to which she retorted for her vengeance…

That part of Amelia scares me. It’s just so foreign to me.

I sigh, picking up my phone and swiping through it, looking for missed messages I know aren’t there. Silence.

I even went so far as to text Edgar, which I haven’t done in months, because Victor said he was in on the mission. Nothing from him either. I close my eyes and put my phone down, saying a little prayer that everything’s all right.

And then I leap about a mile in the air when I feel someone touch my shoulder.

“Oh!” Bridgette says, surprised when I spin on her with a little shriek. “Oh god – Evelyn – I’m sorry – I didn’t mean –“

But then her eyes move to the hand I have pressed against my chest. Or, more specifically, to the gigantic diamond perched on my ring finger.

“Oh my god! Evelyn!” She says, her eyes suddenly wide and thrilled for me. She wraps me in a tight hug, rocking me back and forth. I laugh, swept away by her happiness, and hold her tight in return.

“Thank you, Bridgette,” I say, pulling away and smiling at her. “I’m sorry I didn’t text you about it yesterday – I wanted to tell people in person –“

“We need to have a party!” she says, her eyes wide.

“No,” I say, laughing a little. “No party – we’re so busy. We’ll save all the partying for the wedding itself.”
