Chapter 111: Chapter 111:"it’s been two months ’
The mont the words left my mouth, Alexander’s expression shifted.
"Alicia," he said, his voice lower now, "are you planning to go back on your promise to Nana?"
I hesitated, then whispered,
"Not really..."
He reached out and grabbed my hand.
"You’re just going to sulk on your own?" His grip tightened slightly. "No matter what happens, you should be honest with . Don’t avoid things."
His eyes locked onto mine.
"Communication is the only way to solve anything. Otherwise, the distance between us will only grow."
He paused, then asked again—
"Is it because you saw Lilian’s show? Because you found out I used to tell her those stories?"
"No."
I bit my lip and shook my head.
But even I knew—
I was lying.
And he knew it too.
I just...
Didn’t want to admit that I was jealous.
"Alicia, you can’t take out your frustrations about my past on ," Alexander said, his tone firm. "My past is there—I can’t erase it. I’m not asking you to accept everything, but you need to understand... the past is the past. What matters is the future."
He paused, his gaze steady on mine.
"If, in the end, I choose to stay with you and not divorce, then what difference does it make that I told her the sa stories?"
I lowered my head, pressing my lips together.
I said nothing.
"Still planning to soak in the pool?" he asked after a mont.
When I didn’t respond, he continued,
"If you want to, go back to your room, pack your things, and move into mine. Don’t worry—tonight is the last night. Tomorrow morning, I’ll drive you out. No one will know."
I turned silently and walked back to my room.
"Director Alicia, are you leaving?" Amanda asked, confused.
"Yeah, sothing ca up. I need to leave," I replied, my expression unchanged.
"Oh... I hope everything goes well."
"Thanks."
After packing, I headed to Room 0108.
Dinner had already been set out.
We ate together in near silence.
Just as Alexander was about to stand, I rembered sothing and spoke quickly—
"Can you do
a favor?"
He glanced at . "Just say it. No need for pleasantries between us."
"Can I take a picture with you... for my status update?"
His expression shifted imdiately.
"A picture with ? For your status update?" he repeated.
I nodded and explained quickly,
"On the ride here, Leonard asked if I was in a relationship. I said yes, but he didn’t believe . He’s... interested in ."
I lowered my gaze slightly.
"I told him I have a boyfriend, but he still won’t back off. I’m worried he’ll keep bothering , so... I want to make it clear."
I added quickly,
"Don’t worry, I won’t show your face."
Alexander already knew there had been soone pursuing
at work.
Without hesitation, he agreed.
"Alright. How do you want to take it?"
"I want it to look believable," I said calmly. "Sothing... a little more intimate."
He held my gaze for a mont.
Then nodded.
"Okay."
I smiled and continued,
"Here’s what I was thinking: I’ll sit on your lap, and you wrap your arm around . I’ll take the selfie so only your chin down is in the fra. Is that okay?"
"Okay."
I stood and walked over to him.
Even though it felt a little awkward, I pushed those thoughts aside and sat on his lap.
I took several shots.
After going through them, I picked one.
"This one works. But we can’t post it today. Let’s wait until we’re back."
If I posted it now, people at work would imdiately guess it was Alexander.
"Alright."
In the photo, my face was the focal point.
The rest of the fra showed a man in a bathrobe—his collarbone, part of his chest, and a sharp jawline visible, but not enough to fully reveal his identity.
Satisfied, I stood up and walked toward the pool, sinking into the warm water with a soft sigh.
So relaxing.
A mont later, Alexander joined .
Before I could react, his arm slid around my waist, pulling
back against him.
His breath brushed against my ear as his voice dropped."Would you like to try the twenty-centiter depth?"
My face burned instantly.
I pushed against him. "Is that all you think about? Is that why you insisted I co here?"
"It’s been two months," he replied calmly. "What do you think?"
Realizing where this was heading, I tried to pull away.
"No..."If I let this go on, the baby might not be able to handle it.
??Alexander chuckled softly. "It’s fine, we don’t have work tomorrow."
??He’d been holding back for two months already. Not to ntion, these past few days, he’d been helping
relax even more, I could imagine how much its been making it harder to resist."You said I needed to agree first," I reminded him, my voice quieter now. "And I didn’t."
He paused.??"Well, you could at least help
out."
Then, instead of pressing further, his tone shifted slightly—less forceful, but no less intent.
"stay," he murmured. "Just... stay like this."I hesitated,then waved my fingers in the front .
??Alexander shook his head. "Turn around and keep your legs together..."
The warmth of the water, his presence beside , the steady rhythm of his breathing—
It all blurred together.
Afterward, I felt completely drained, leaning back with a mix of exhaustion and mixed emotions,the inside of my thighs was flushed and sore. I Couldn’t even move.
Alexander, however, seed unusually calm and satisfied.
He carried
back to bed afterward, his movents careful and steady.
His attentiveness remained as precise as ever.
I didn’t say anything.
The next morning, before dawn, Alexander gently woke .
"Let’s go. You can continue resting in the car on the way back."

The departnt employees were still at the resort.
Although I had already returned early, there was no work waiting for , so I stayed ho and allowed myself to rest.
While scrolling through my phone, I suddenly rembered the photo Alexander and I had taken.
It was ti to post it.
But that wasn’t the real reason.
The photo wasn’t for Leonard.
It was for Lilian.
A faint thought crossed my mind as I stared at the image.
I wanted her to see it.
And I wanted it to unsettle her.
I attached a heart emoji and uploaded it as a status.
If Lilian had a reaction to it, that was her problem. Even if she did, I was certain Alexander wouldn’t ask
to take it down.
I waited.
It didn’t take long before a notification popped up:
Alexander liked your status.
Shortly after, comnts began appearing from colleagues who were still at the resort.
Most were confused—they couldn’t see his face clearly, yet they still offered congratulations.
One particularly bold male colleague even comnted:
"Definitely looks like a twenty-centiter guy."
Sandra imdiately ssaged
on WhatsApp.
"Sis, what’s going on? Tell
everything!"
Alicia:
"Just as you can see, we’re in the dating phase. Not sure if it’ll last."
"Aaaah! Alicia, where did you find him? That body, those pecs—amazing!"
"Stop drooling."
"Can I et him?"
"Not yet. Maybe later."
Third Person POV
When Aiden saw the status update, he froze.
His eyes stayed fixed on the screen for a long mont, as if he needed ti to process what he was seeing.
His thoughts beca unsettled.
He had always assud Alicia was single... and that he still had a chance.
But now, soone had already stepped in front of him.
Aiden finally sent a ssage:
"When did you start seeing soone? Your boyfriend’s in great shape."
Alicia exhaled softly as she read it.
She imdiately regretted making the status visible to everyone.
Her intention had been simple—to provoke Lilian, not to deal with questions from colleagues.
Still, she replied calmly:
"Right? He’s definitely in great shape."
"When can I et him?"
"Not sure. Maybe later."
"Okay."
Aiden slowly put his phone down.
A faint spark of hope flickered in his chest.
If she wouldn’t allow him to et her boyfriend, then their relationship couldn’t be that serious.
And if it wasn’t serious...
Then there was still a chance for him.
"When can you co visit
at the studio?" Aiden asked.
"I’m free soon. Let
know when works for you."
"How about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow works."
Third Person POV
Lilian had just returned ho from the studio when she saw the status update.
In an instant, her expression changed.
At first glance, others might not have noticed anything unusual.
But she knew.
She recognized him imdiately.
The man in the photo was unmistakably Alexander.
A sharp wave of rage surged through her.
Her grip tightened around her phone.
That bitch... Alicia.
Her eyes darkened as she stared at the screen, fury building beneath her calm exterior.
