Xandra's pov;
When Mira helped me took a sick leave,she got a maternity leave instead.
She said Mrs. Morgan insisted on it.
I wasn't surprised,she always worried about me when she saw me working with my baby bump.
' I actually miss her now that I think about her'.
Shawn made me a whole table of food just like he said he would. Unsurprisingly, I had a very good appetite and ate a lot.
I had him pack the remaining food and put them in the fridge. There's no way I would let them go to waste.
Since then, Shawn mandated it to visit me once in a day. I was happy, I felt really happy.
He could have just called me but he visited me personally, I was grateful.
Also, I suspect Mira must be keeping something from me,she acts strange this days. Sometimes, I'll just walk on her sobbing in a corner.
There are also times that she looked at me with those pitiful gaze. I wanted to ask her but I was afraid she would be burdened so I just let it be.
-------
This days,my tummy has gotten so big that I feel uncomfortable just moving from the bedroom to the living room.
But Jade advised me to take a walk every morning. At least a ten minute walk from my house and back. It would help me keep fit.
So every morning, after my exercise and breakfast, I just sit in the living room till I want to go to bed again.
Even Mira complains that my routine is too monotonous. She also closes early to keep me company.
This day, I was sitted in the living room as usual when I heard the door bell ring. I was too lazy to stand up so I just used the remote.
The door opened and I saw Alex come in. I haven't seen him in so long that I was surprised to see him again.
" Alex? It's you?". I asked surprise evident in my voice.
" You weren't expecting me?". He smirked.
" Of course I wasn't".
" I heard you were sick,how do you feel now, are you okay?". He asked as he took a sit beside me.
" I am. I came back about a week ago".
" Oh, you've gotten quite big and...".
" Ugly? I know right?".
" No, not that. You look really beautiful. Very sexy if you ask me". He looked away.
" See, you can't even look at me, you must lying". I teased him.
" No, I, actually, I, I really mean it. You are, very sexy right now". I laughed so hard,my tummy hurts.
" What's funny?".
" You sounded so serious. I was just kidding nah".
" Oh, yeah. So, where's Nelson?". He asked.
' trying to change the topic huh?'.
" He went on a school trip. I miss him a lot".
" Oh,a school trip?".
" Un".
" By the way,do you even have anywhere to go this days?".
" No where at all, I can't even go to work, I'm almost bored to death sitting here all day".
" Really,do you want to go somewhere. I have a place I really want to go with you. I could take you there now, what do you say?".
" Sounds cool. I'll change my clothes first".
" No probs. Although you look ok like this". I smiled.
–—–
" So where exactly are we going?". I asked after about a 20 min drive.
" My warehouse. It's quite unique. A sight worth seeing".
" I hope it's as good as you say".
After we alighted in front of a warehouse,he took me inside and said he would be back,that was the last I saw of him.
Some men came in a little after, I couldn't catch how many they were but I was sure they were more than a few.
They subdued me and tied me to a particularly comfortable chair. It made me feel like it was planned.
When I thought of how suspicious of Alex Shawn was. I figured he must have known.
Alex tricked me. I felt tears fell from my eyes. How could he? I want to strangle him so much.
I couldn't help crying, I cried for God knows how long.
' how could you do this to me, Alex, I thought we were friends. I really thought of you as my friend, you bastard,how could you?'.
I thought as I kept sobbing. I wanted to contact Shawn but my phone has been confiscated so I couldn't reach out to him. I missed him even more then.
I wished he was by my side. I was terrified of what would happen to me.
Losing my sense of time made a second feel like hours to me.
I was all alone in a strange place having no way to contact the person I want to. The loneliness was eating at me.
