The Official Wife Returns
That weekend was the first of the many, that the three enjoyed. Alex had brought April and Sky back to Carolynn. They also brought Lauri along, so someone could watch Sky. Alex had ask James to buy a lot of equipments for the three.
The four did some island hoping, boat fishing, swimming and any family board games inside the yacht. Marco and the crew didn't know that their Boss had a son already. Added too that it was with April. They knew enough not to gossip, but they couldn't help but wonder if their boss's wife knew. Half of them bet that she does, half don't believe so. On Marco case, He kept his silence.
They had spent 1 night and 1 Day on the boat, they didn't got back to the Burghley Mansion till 9 pm.
After the eventful weekend, Alex would sometimes stay at the Burghley Mansion for the night. On and Off, Alex would be sleeping next to April. April had let this Alex be, she had never asked him to stay or go.
All that she cared right now, was to be able to spend time with Alex and their son. It really felt like they were a whole family together. Even Lauri kept her mouth shut, she knew all too well that they were all adults. She also had been around Sky for too long, that she understands that it wont bother the kid. All though Sky was indeed too young, he was matured enough to understand that his father had a different family. Why else would his Father only showed up now then? And that his father wasn't close to his mother before?

Currently, April and Sky is having dinner with Alex at a very luxurious restaurant.
April was dressed in a red halter dress with red plumps while Sky was dressed in Burberry suit. Alex was on his black fitted suit and a Burberry ribbon tie to match his son. April had bought the tie and Sky's outfit. She find it amusing on matching them. Alex and his little 'mini me'. To top it off, Alex hasn't been wearing his wedding ring anymore. April didn't bother asking, just that she noticed it after their family weekend together.
Alex had never said anything, but she felt like Alex was indeed serious about her. At least for now, that is. He had also been praising how wonderful she looked tonight, his eyes were glued to her all night.
Alex had a private room reservation, Avoiding any cause of gossips for April and his son. The three had spent 2 hours in the restaurant, leaving only when it was 9 o'clock.
When they left, Alex had drape his black coat to April. Keeping her warm while his other hand was carrying his son. They really looked like a perfect family.
Some of the customers had caught their eyes on them. Since the restaurant was exquisite and expensive, only the wealthy were able to dine in. One of them was a woman dressed in a provocative dress, she was holding a champagne in hand. She smirk as soon as the three left. She took our her purse and grabbed her phone. She dialed a number and waited for it to be picked up.

(Somewhere in Italy)
*loud glass crashing sounds*
"Alexxxxxxxx!!!" A voice of an angry female yelled.
Her name is Francesca. Francesca Mia de Russo! Even though she married Alex, she had never taken his name. She wanted to grow independent. Although she had used some of his influence at the start, it was just that.
"Alex! You dare flaunt that crazy woman in front of me! And your telling me that nothing is going on between you two? Ha! Do you take me as a fool! Let's see what that woman can do when the Official wife returns!!!" She clenched her bleeding hand.

The next morning, April got up early to jog around the garden. She was still flustered from last night. Alex had informed her that he would be gone for a week for business matters. He also told her that when he returns, he wanted to live with her officially. She didn't gotten enough sleep, thank goodness that Alex didn't sleep on the Burghley Mansion last night.

When they were having breakfast, A maid had handed her their home phone. Saying that someone was looking for her. Curious, she accepted the call.
"Hello? This is April." She said while fiddling with her food.
Lauri and Sky was beside her, eating their breakfast as well.
"Why hello April, This is Francesca." Said the person on the other line. She sounded sarcastic.
April gasped. It was too soon. April was sure that Francesca knew about them by now, why else would she be calling? Alex hadn't been sleeping on their love nest for a while. Lauri heard April's gasped, her brow lifted up and said nothing.
Since April didn't reply, Francesca's mouth curled up. "Cat got your tongue?"
"Let's cut this short. I want you to stay away from my husband! He is married to me! If I see you again near him! Don't tell me that I didn't warn you! I am back now in England! Don't ever let me see your face!" She then hanged up.
April eyes was about to tear up. It wasn't like she asked for Alex's attention in the first place. She thought she was ready, she guessed not. It still hurt her heart, hearing from Francesca.
April took a deep breath and continued eating. She didn't want Francesca to ruin her day. She was stronger than that. She had endured so much pain before. Compared to that, this was just like a paper cut.
Minutes later, the phone rang again. This time, the phone was next to her so she had picked up the phone.
"Burghley Mansion, This is April speaking". She gulped. Afraid that it was Francesca again.
"Hey baby. Are you having breakfast?". It was Alex on the line.
"Yes. Did you left already?" She calmed herself and asked.
"I left last night after we parted ways. I wanted to rush over so I could finish this, as fast as I could." Alex smiled. Truth was, he wanted to finish it fast so he could spent more of his time with April and Sky.
"I see. Well, did you hear the news?" She asked. She wasn't a timid girl. If someone wants to fight with fire with her, she'll gladly sent it back. If Alex was really serious about her, this would be a test for him. April wasn't like the other girls, who would just stay silent and keep the pain inside. She was different. She had a son to take care of, she didn't want Sky to get hurt.
