Chapter133: anklet

"Is that an anklet?"I asked my eyes lighting up. I've always wanted an anklet like forever. I saw Alex put it on my left ankle then he sat back to look at.

"Do you like it?"he asked his face nervous and anxious.

"Are you kidding me? I love it. Alex, where did you buy this? It looks really pretty."I said admiring it on my ankle.

"I bought it in Spain."he said and I lifted my head in shock to look at him." Why are you shocked? I remembered you saying that you would love an anklet and since you also said that you don't like jewelleries, I thought that I should buy the anklet since it's the only thing you like. So I bought it for you."he said and I smiled. How is he always so attentive. I can't even remember telling him that, but oh well, it's the truth anyway.

"Thank you Alex. It's really beautiful."I said moving to hug him. We stayed there for a while then I went to freshen up.

Days passed and a week had already passed. Alex had been on the edge lately and I wonder what is wrong. I know people are after me to get to him, but no one has made a move yet. I'm safe and I've even returned to work. I've really extended my honeymoon break and I've missed almost a month of not going to work.

Alex had been so worried that he drove with me every morning to work and also every evening and this time he didn't hesitate to allow bodyguards to follow behind us. I really wanted to know what kind of trouble he was in but every time I asked, he would just say," don't worry baby, everything will be fine soon."I don't question him anymore since I'll get the same answer as before. I've not been stubborn because I know what is at stake here and I don't want Alex to be worried about me all the time, especially when he told me he has something big coming up and he would be launching it this week.

I was curious of what it was but he said it would be a surprise for me and everyone. He said he would be launching it this Friday night and when he asked me if I could be there when he's launching this something big, I immideately said yes. I want to support him and became his biggest cheerleader in everything he does because I love him so much.

The thing about the Mafia group he's leading slowly came in my mind and I finally accepted it. He's my life and I can't possibly do anything because he's already involved and I would love him without care that he kills people or whatever he does there.

Today was the preparation for his launch tomorrow and he came home really late and he looked really tired. He just ate dinner then went to the study to work. I couldn't sleep in my bedroom knowing he's in the study exhausting himself to point of no return. I got out of the room and went to the study to get him and make him to come and sleep.

I entered the study and I found him really busy on his laptop. I sighed and went to his seat and started caressing his back. He stopped what he was doing and he looked at me."baby, what are you doing here? You haven't slept already?"he asked worried.

"I can't sleep without you in bed Alex. I'm worried about you. You can't exhaust yourself like this and neglect your health that's why I need you to close this laptop right this instant and we go to bed."I said and he frowned.

"But I'm not done and tomorrow is the big day. I need to finish this by tomorrow. Please baby let me finish this."he pleaded and I sighed. I know how stressed he is right now and the pressure too is heavy and I need to support him.

"Fine, but after tomorrow, you are staying in bed resting without going anywhere."I said firmly.

"Okay baby. That's okay."he immideately agreed smiling.

"Let me make a cup of coffee for you. I'll be back."I told him kissing his cheeks and I left the room to the kitchen. I started preparing some coffee for him and I realized that feeling is back.

I've been feeling nauseous lately when I smell coffee and I wondered what is wrong. I should be loving coffee not feeling disgusted by it. Nevertheless, I still made the coffee and brought it to him despite my nauseous feeling. I would have to observe further what's wrong with me and coffee lately.

"Thanks baby. Go sleep first I will join you later. I need to get done with this."he said kissing my neck. I looked at him worried but I left and went to force myself to sleep.

The following morning I woke up with Alex not beside me but I heard some water sound in the bathroom and I sighed. How long has he slept? I couldn't help but wonder. I lazily got myself out of the bed and tidied up and went to join him in the shower.

"Baby, I'll come to pick you up at seven and please remember what I've always said....."

"Don't open the door for anyone who I don't know and blaah blaah blaah...."I said and he frowned.

"This is not a joke Kimberly."he said a bit angry.

"You have literally said that every day before we leave for work. I don't know where I will open the door for a stranger because we drive to work together and come back together except yesterday when you didn't join me back. I'm not stupid Alex and I'm keeping myself Safe okay."I said and he looked at him for a while before getting a coat for me.

"Wear this, winter season is approaching and you know how crazy it gets in New York when it snows. And before I forget, did you make someone send something to your mom and grandma?"he asked and I nodded.

"Yes, it's the gifts I bought for them in our honeymoon. I've given Shawn and Andy's theirs so I decided to send my mom's and grandma's theirs since I think we won't be visiting them soon."I said and Alex nodded."why did you ask?"I asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted you to know they will receive the gifts."he said and we finished preparing for our day and we left for work. I didn't have breakfast because I am not into it lately. I just don't feel like eating and when I remember the nauseating feeling when I smell coffee, I just feel my appetite get lost.

"Baby, be safe and I'll pick you up at seven o'clock. You have to be there when I make a move to our future."he said and he kissed my lips. I got out of the car to find Bella and some others bodyguards who were ready to escort me to my office as always. This has been a habit. 

I went and sat down on my chair listening to Angela read me my schedule for today. I yawned a bit and she stopped then I realized my mistake." Oh sorry about that, I don't mean to be disrespectful I just feel really sleepy lately and I'm really tired. I know I just woke up but maybe I'm stressed out or....."

"Ma'am, maybe you are pregnant."she said and I stiffened. That can't be true right? It's only a week that I was talking to Alex about us using protection and now I'm pregnant? This can't be true.

"No Angela, I'm not."I said chuckling as if that's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard." I'm just stressed out lately."I said but I saw the doubt in Angela's face.
