Chapter 57 

MALIYA 

I don’t know why I was feeling hot today. The weather was a bit chilly, yet I was feeling hot inside. Is this what every pregnant woman goes through? 

It feels weird somehow, but I haven’t been able to do anything without feeling the need to get inside water and soak myself in there. 

ou need something?” A maid asked as I pushed my food aside and stood up to take a bath. 

“No, I’m feeling hot so maybe taking a bath would 

d help. I I said and she nodded. 

I went into the bathroom, took off my clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The water temperature is not what I’d like it to be, but i 

this would do 

1 stayed there, enjoying the feeling of the water on my body when memories of last 

st night came rushing in. 

I was exactly in this same position, reminiscing about the good old days when Alpha Xander came into the bathroom, taking me by surprise. 

He had never walked in on me when I was bailing or dressing up which made me wonder what he was doing. 

the river. He stood there, his eyes 

My eyes were fixed on him and neither of us tried to break the silence. It was like a repeat of what happened in th never leaving mine as he began to take off his clothes. 

I knew it was rude to be staring at him in this manner, but I couldn’t take my eyes off him, toned chest, and his artistic body, they all look so perfect 

He played with the hem of his trousers and I couldn’t stop myself from licking my lips, waiting to see what lay beneath his trousers. 

Just then, he released his trousers and they fell to the ground, leaving him in his briefs. He looked so fucking attractive and I wondered how a man of such a brutal personality can be so perfect at the same time. 

Even if you wanted to insult him with something, his face and body are just not a thing to use against 

st him. He was understand why he was so controlling and demanding. What he would I have expected from a man like this! 

was like a 

a god and I finally 

He finally took off his brief and I gulped when my eyes landed on his cock. He was so big! No wonder it hurt so much whenever he tried to have his way with me when I just moved here. 

so attractive that I was 

One would think I’d hate or feel disgusted with the way he was standing in his full glory in front of me, but the sight was so starting to drool over him 

After tossing his clothes away, he got into the bathtub with me and my heart sh 

and my heart skipped a beat. The way he was looking at me gave me goosebumps. 

Neither of us broke the eye contact, and for some reason, it felt like I wasn’t scared of him anymore. 

In the past, I couldn’t even stand his presence not to talk or look into his eyes, but right now, I couldn’t help but feel drawn to him. It feels like a lot has changed. Maybe it was because I had finally come to accept the reality, but I knew he wouldn’t hurt me; At least, not when I was carrying his child 

I don’t know if it was because I was carrying his child or maybe my confidence had just increased, but lately, I’ve been feeling some kind of way towards him. It’s like a push and pull. One moment, I see a different person entirely. A much understanding, calm and reasonable man- 

lovable. perhaps, and sometimes, he was like a volcano waiting to explode at the slightest thing. 

Alpha Xander didn’t say a word as he made himself feel comfortable in the bathtub. We both stare at each other, and I can’t believe how much effect he has on me 

My breath hitched as I continued to look into his eyes. My eyes fell on his lips.. they looked so inviting and I wondered what they could taste like. 

“What the hell is wrong with you?” My subconscious mocked. 

I closed my eyes, trying to catch my breath as I wondered if staying here was a good idea or not. Before I could think of leaving the bathtub before doing something I’d regret like what happened in the river, he finally broke the silence. 

“Tell me about yourself, he commanded, taking me by surprise. His voice was smooth as silk and I wanted to hear him speak again. 

Aiptu Xander has never asked me anything before. He only bash out orders. The thought of Alpha Xander engaging in a conversation with me or wanting to tirar about me was completely shocking and I suddenly didn’t know what to say. 

“Can you tell me what you w. 

u want 

to hear instead? I doubt there is anything that would be of any interest to you,” I stated.. 

I don i know why he was suddenly asking the question or what he wanted to know. It was true that nothing about me would interest a man like Alphia Karuder 

“I want to know everything about you,” he said again without breaking eye contact. 

Alpha Xander could have found out anything he wished to know by just ordering it I still don’t understand why he was asking, but if this is my only chance to have a proper conversation with him, I won’t ruin my chances. 

“As much as I want to start talking about my life, I know it would only bore you, so why don’t we do it this way? You ask me a question and I ask you a question. You know, it’s a popular game. We both give each other answers but there are no rules except both of us have been sincere,” I finished. 

e was going to accept playing the game or reprimand me for trying to 

Alpha Xander’s face glinted up with my suggestion, but I couldn’t help if he i find out about him too. 

He went quiet for a while, and at this point, I thought he was going to refuse my idea, but he just stayed quiet 

His silence was killing me and it’s even crazy that I can’t read his mind or find out what is going on in his head. 

I followed his eyes and I noticed how he had been staring at my boobs all along. My body felt alive from his lingering gaze and I wished he would just close the distance between us. 

I’d be lying if 1 said I hadn’t thought of moving closer to him and wrapping my hands in his hair. I bet they are as soft as they look. It is so hard to concentrate when a hot man is looking at me the way he was doing and my eyes fell on his throat. 

I watched how he swallowed hard and my stomach twitched 

What is wrong with you, Maliya? 

His eyes went further down and I felt exposed under his gaze. I wondered what it would- 

“Tell me about your parents he finally broke the silence and I guess that means he was willing to play the game. 

Seeing this part of Alpha Xander is so surprising, but I won’t waste it, knowing it might be the last time. 

“Maliya?” He called out, gaining my attention and I let out a dry laugh. Of all the questions in the world, he just has to ask that one 

“If I answer your question, that means you will also answer all of my questions, I reminded him. 

“You mentioned it earlier 100, he said flatly, but his eyes said how much he was waiting to hear my response. 

“Erm.. how should I put this?” I chuckled. Tam a bastard like everyone would always say, 1 announced. I thought he would react in some kind of way. Judge me maybe, but he only looked at me, waiting for me to continue. 

“I lost my mom when I was like five and ever since then, I have been living with my stepmother and sister, a sad smile spread across my face, but I shoved it off 

“What was in like?” He asked with the softest tone ever, raking me by surprise. 

“What was it like?” I asked, dumbfounded for a while. I knew what he was asking, and I don’t have a problem sharing my past either even though 1 knew he would most likely use it against me later, but seeing how he asked all of a sudden made me feel lost and uncertain of what answer to give 

him 

You promised to be honest. 

stepmother and sister? He asked in a much softer voice, taking me by surprise once again. 

“What was it like living with your str 

“I wouldn’t say it was good, but at least, I wasn’t sleeping on the street,” I said with a small smile. 

“How were you treated?” He asked again. 

“Exactly how a stepmother would treat her stepdaughter,” I shrugged. “My father would always put his other children above me and would beat me at the slightest mistake, while the others mocked and tortured me at any given opportunity.” I confessed 

Thinking back about everything, my life has always been a nightmare. No moment is better in the other so maybe I was being too dramatic by acting as if this was the worst thing that would happen to me. 

Alplu Adonis stared at me as if he was trying to wrap his head around what was going on in my mind, but I only dashed him a smile. 

“My turn,” I cut him off before he could ask any more questions and he simply nodded. I have at least a thousand questions in my head to ask him. I want to know everything about him. To find out how he was who lie was, but it’s one step at a time, so i decided to ask the one that has been 

“How did you get the scar in your eyes?”
