Chapter 1

ALEIXHA MEDLEY ALTARAZA-SULLIVAN's POV

"Aly, you couldn't find a gift some interesting, huh?" my Cousin, Jullie asked me.

Because I'm at J's Accessories and he owns it. Currently still looking for a gift for my husband. Yeah, I am married to Laven Oscar Sullivan. It's his birthday tomorrow and I've been here at Jullie's shop for maybe three hours. And I haven't really chosen anything yet.

"Yeah," I said and my eyes were still busy with the accessories.

"You can buy a watch, necklace or something that he could use at his office, Aly," he suggested and I looked at my cousin who also looked lazy. He rested his arms on the glass box and lowered himself further.

"Watch? He has a lot at home, Jullie. Necklace? I don't think so if he can use that," I said boredly.

Because my husband doesn't wear a necklace. So watch? He has a lot of collections in our house.

"Tss! Ah! I have an idea! Why don't you just buy him a brief?!" he said happily and I automatically turned to him again.

She gave me her famous dangerous smirk. What the hell?

"What the hell, Jullie! You're in the shop!" I warned her and turned to her customers and I felt relief when they are all busy and they're own businesses.

"Whatever you say, cousin Aleixha Medley. By the way, about the...uh... have you told Laven about your pregnancy?"

I stopped and suddenly my heart beat faster.

"N-Not yet, Jullie," I answered nervously.

I closed my eyes when Jullie patted my forehead. That's why I frowned, because it hurt, ah.

"What?! Aly, do you know what were you doing? My God, cousin! Your wife must know that! That you can't give her a child, you know what married men do when they are barren they will divorce their wives immediately!" he threatened me.

"No! It won't ever happen, Jullie! He loves me! My husband loves me and he's going to accept me!" I said confusedly.

My husband will not divorce me because he loves me, he loves me very much and he accepts my situation.

"How sure are you, Aly? How could you say that your husband accepted you that you will never have children again?" I can't say anything, I can't answer.

But my husband will accept me, right?

"Trust me, Jullie. He will accept me. We have been married for two years and five months. We have been together for a long time and I know he can't live without me, he won't leave me," I said desperately.

"Alright, Aly! Hope! Hope that your own husband will accept you! Aleixha, the year is not a basis, if you've been together for ten or more years if he finds out that you are a barren and you can't give him a child. Try to think that cousin, your husband is rich, his family is well-known. That even the president of the country would be ashamed of their family's wealth!" I stepped back.

"Julie... how could you say that to me?" I felt tears running down my cheeks. The pain of those words.

He came to me and held both of my shoulders.

"Aly, I'm your cousin and I love you very much. I'm just afraid of hurting you, what if he doesn't accept you? What if the consequences I imagine for you happen? Aly, He deserves to know the truth. he will know something else about you. Yes, you are lucky because your husband loves you very much and he gives you everything you want. He did not lack. But Aly, how much does he love you if will he know you're barren? I told you, he's a billionaire and it's important to them to have children. This is for you, Aly." I could clearly see the sadness and fear in my cousin's eyes.

"O-OK, I'll tell you but not now, nor tomorrow, Jullie. It's her birthday tomorrow and I don't want her to be sad if she finds out about my situation," I bowed and said.

"Okay, okay just tell him the truth. You know what cousin, it's bad to keep a secret from your husband and especially if what you're keeping a secret hurts. We don't know if he'll accept k--"

"I told you he would accept me!" I can't help but shout.

"Okay wait, I'm just concerned, Aly. I hope he accepts you. Here, pay that to the cashier and good luck, cousin," he said and turned his back on me.

I stepped closer to the cashier and my chest heaved at the last thing my cousin said.

"If he doesn't accept you, call me and I'm here for you, cousin."

I smiled...

"Thank you, Julie..."

I Looked at my gift that was already wrapped, I hope so. I hope so, Julie. He will accept me.

"Good morning, Mrs. Sullivan," my husband's secretary greeted me with a smile upon seeing me.

"Good morning to you too, Daime. Is your boss inside?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"Yes, come in," he answered. Daime even opened the door for me.

I thanked him and entered my husband's office.

I saw Laven sitting in his swivel chair and focused his full attention on the piled papers on his table.

He also felt the sense, I approached quietly and he looked at me with a frown.

"Hey hon, good morning." I smiled sweetly at him and his frown gradually disappeared. He smiled at me and stood up.

"Morning, hon," he said in a husky voice.

When he got close to me, he immediately greeted me with a warm and firm kiss.
