Leilah 's POV

"well. I haven't started shopping for the baby yet. We don't even know it's sex "

Ishe had disguised herself to shop with Austin. They are having a boy. I am so happy, genuinely happy for them. From my understanding, they are both orphans. Alice grew up in foster care while Austin's last parent died when he was barely a teenager. His father's wealth had been handled by a long time friend of his Dad before he was given the Company, as soon as he left college.

They will finally have a family, their own family.

Who would have thought circumstances like this will pull two enemies together, I am talking about Alice and I.

"Leilah, I need to talk to you about something " she said after a while.

"hit me"

We have been in this plane for four hours now. No one ever said Dubai would be this far...

She stared at me in complete disbelief, stunned with my choice or word.

"shoot" I smiled.

The lady was clearly having a hard time getting used to this whole situation.

Aren't we all?

" I know this is a little awkward, Me, you, Austin and Waleed. I just want you to know that you don't have to worry about my past with your husband........"

I like that she called him "My husband ".

"I will never be a threat to you. I love Austin, I love him deeply. It has always been Austin for me. We were all friends from Highschool but Austin and I never got along. We foughy for no reason. Waleed was always there to settle our rift. After high school, I left for Paris to pursue my career. I stumbled on Waleed and Austin three years later at a Versace store. .I seduced Waleed right away when I heard they were shopping for a lady who was carrying Austin's child. Remembering all of it now, I guess I got with Waleed out of spite for Austin. We never talked much since then and Waleed... I know he has told you this or you have noticed this yourself...... " she paused for a while.

"Waleed was never mine. He was never for me. He never paid any attention to me. He had other women..Like two of them, more beautiful than I am. One was the highest Paid model in the world at that time. Waleed could barely give his total time to one woman but seeing how he is with you now, made me realize we never loved each other. He was out there getting his women and I was there getting angry with Austin for never noticing me" .... She wiped the Tears running down her cheeks with the end of the shawl across her neck.

I am suddenly getting emotional too..

Waleed really was an asshole before we met.

How could she stay in a relationship with a man who had two other women?

She sure needs to boost her self esteem.

Or was probably boosting her career.

"do you know if he feels the same way... I mean Austin "

please say YES. I want to know you will never lack love enough to stare at my husband.

"He does ...i know he does. Though he hasn't said anything yet but from the way we stare at each other, how we make love and all" she chuckled.

I don't know if I am comfortable, listening to their sexual stuff.

"you deserve to be happy, Alice. We may have started on a bad foot but looking into your eyes now. I know you have found that Man that will make you forget all others"

As much as I was been honest, I was trying to warn her to forget Waleed.

"you are right. I have never been this happy with a man like I am with Austin. He is everything I want and more. " she smiled.

She held my hands in hers. "Waleed loves you so much. I think it was love at first sight. I got jealous that he wouldn't kiss me when he got to Paris. I shared him other women but I had never felt threatened like I was with you. He met you at that Graduation and he stopped calling. He wouldn't even want anything to do with me. You might not be a skinny tanned model but you are very beautiful Leilah.. That was why I got jealous... I mean the media....everyone talked about your curves. And I am so sorry I got that picture of you. I didn't ask that boy to take the picture. I only found it on his phone when he asked to take a selfie with me. It was like a movie seeing your pictures on his phone when I mistakenly touched photos. So I paid him to give them to me and he did. Please forgive me. I was stupid. I should never have done that" she concluded.

"you are beautiful woman too you know and I have nothing against you. At least not now that I know you are with Austin. "

We both laughed. Mine was fake, between.

.Alice puts up this harsh look but she was really weak inside. That I learnt from our little chat. Growing up in foster care might have toughened her outer look but it did nothing to the soft woman inside of her .

We checked out baby wears online and she introduced me to so many kiddies blog she has been looking up since she could barely go out.

She told me how she would love to start a clothing brand when all of these are over and ditch modelling as that isn't who she is. Quite surprising I must say. But, the real bomb came when she told me her real name is Cameron Knight. Alice was her late mother's Name.

We turned around to find the Men who had been all tensed up, finally loosened up jwith a bottle of wine in between them.

With Waleed constantly winking at me seductively, I felt my face hit up in embarrassment, I was blushing unwillingly but I was still mad at Waleed for making my Little cutefeet stay at home without mummy.

"Alice, you know Waleed is happy for Austin and You. Feel free to talk to him." I told her sincerely.

"I know. I am just ashamed of myself. I dated him without ever standing up for myself." she turned downcast again.

"you can't keep doing that. I am sure he doesn't have such mindset about you"

She nods "Austin is teaching me how to be strong but I should have told Waleed I slept with his friend "

"Hey, girl. Trust me he has nothing against you.. I mean you were sad and drunk. "

"can I confide in you? "

oh No please don't! . I suck at keeping secrets away from my husband.

"yes. You can"

my lousy mouth won't let me be great.

" I wasn't really drunk."

"what?!"

she quickly covered my loud mouth with her hand. "For the first time. Austin wanted me. I could have said no. But I have always wanted him to look at me like a beautiful woman, like the only woman in the world and that night, he did. I took advantage of him but I didn't mean for this pregnancy to happen "

she is becoming too emotional again.

"wow! " realizing what I had just said. "I mean i think all of these was meant to happen and Don't feel bad about it, totally. I mean Look at the bright side, You got your Man finally "

"hey.. I am sorry to interrupt the little gossip going on here" Austin smiled as he walked up to us, taking Alice's hand in his ...

"would you mind if I borrow her for a while "

"sure.. Why not " I was blatantly smiling at the lady with the red face, who was already getting up from her seat to go with Austin.

They both walked to the cabin, hand in hand....

Oh! that Poor Bed.

I hurriedly searched for my headphones in my bag.

I need to plug this in before Waleed realizes I am alone. I don't need him talking to me.. Not after what he did today.

"looking for this? " he sat beside me.

Taking Alice's seat and flashing me the Headphone I was looking for.

Asshole!

"why do you have it? "

I need him to understand that I am mad at him.

I kept my angry face right.

"you left it in the car. I picked it up." he wouldnt stop smiling.

Those lips curving into the right places, just how I love them. His dimples now more pronounced. His lips called for me and....

I need to focus on being angry right now.

"come on baby. I said I am sorry" he drew closer to me, Taking my lips in his.

My useless lips betrayed me in the process and The next thing, his hand was stuck in my dress caressing my nipple.. Sending chills through my body.

When did I become this shameless?

"stop! Someone might walk in" removing his hand.

"then let's go inside the cabin " he stands up taking my hand.

"like you didn't see Austin take Alice there... Right husband? "

"there are two cabins baby. One is strictly mine. The other, For guests on the plane... So get up let's go. "

"we had two rounds today already " I needed to remind him.

He wont kill me while trying to satisfy his sky high needs.

"who said anything about sex? We are going to bed. Look at the time.. It's 11pm already " ....he picked up my bag, then his laptops and IPad and led us into the cabin....

I missed this place.

Arriving Dubai at 3am, UAE time got me completely exhausted not as exhausted as Alice who Austin had to carry through the airport into the car.

Waleed and I couldn't stop laughing at the Poor MAn.

Waleed has drivers everywhere.

A limo was waiting for us by the time we got to the parking lot of the Dubai international Airport. The driver took us to one of the Best hotels I have ever seen. A six star Hotel!

I love this place already. Surprisingly, we didn't have to check into a suite as the Hotel staff all made a line to bow to my husband.

I think I underestimate this man alot.

"he owns this place you know" Alice said from behind me.

How come she knows his properties and I don't.

I am not going to be a bitch right now.

I probably didn't realize how I was staring at her until she laughed.

"what! They called him Boss and while you were there starring instead of asking, I asked Austin "she shrugged and walked away.

The bitch is back.

But then, I really need to start communicating more with Waleed.

We checked into the largest suite in the building. Waleed insisted we all stayed together.

Alice and Austin in one room and My husband and I in another. According to him, we will share the large living room, balcony except for the Bathrooms and toilets ofcourse.

I am sure you understand what I am saying.

"We have a mini pool on our floor" woo-hoo!

Minutes later and Alice is down to just bikini with Austin on her heels . Both jumped into the pool like some kids.

"It's 4am people! And it is freaking Cold!!"

Waleed dragged me into our part of the suites. Closing the door behind him, he undresses me asking me to go take a hot bath.

He really has no going back on his new policy or No limits.

"I want to see your body any time I have the chance to., Wife. Now go into the tub... I will join you in a sec"

"controller" I hissed.

"I heard that. Mrs Drake"

Seconds later, a stark Naked Waleed joined me in the tub.

The water was so refreshing that I think I must have fallen asleep there as I woke up on the big bed hours later to Waleed 's head on my chest, A nipple in his mouth.

He is such a Baby.

A cute baby.
