"What do you mean Molina?! " Stun and confused, he raises his voice as searched for her answer.
Eve turns to look at her lover's face and she puts her hand back to the mattress.
" I knew about Ethan and Diana, She's pregnant, right? " She spoke with a tired voice. Eve wanted to push him so she could sit up but when her hand tries to press his chest, he doesn't move back.
Alexander had a hundred thoughts running around his mind but he doesn't let it distract him from her words.
"What the hell does her pregnancy got to do with us right now?! " He lowers his face and looks at her, clearly vexed at her answer, his brow furrowed. Hating the fact that she's talking about other people while they're in bed.
"No what the fck does it got to do with you, do you like Ethan? Or is Diana threatening you? Is that it?! " Stuck with frustration, he suddenly wanted to storm out and vent his anger somewhere.
Molina seeing how he's hurting his head from unrealistic thoughts tries to calm him down and explained to him.
"No, you're wrong. Alexander, please listen to me for a moment, can you do that my love? " she bitterly smiles at him and released her other hand from his grip to embrace him. He leans down and slowly, his anger subsidies with just a few touches from Molina. He embraces her and calms himself down with the scent of her soft neck.
"I was listening to your grandfather and relatives talking in your company with Ethan " she continues and at this point, she wanted to tell him the truth and her worries.
Ever since she chooses to go out of her character, Eve has been carrying a new pressure and with Alexander coming into her life like a miracle that he is, she had tried to live a life that she finds true happiness with their time together.
She's worried for both of them, and even more worried, if one day, Alexander would start to act like the old character that he was meant to portray.
"I love you Alexander " Eve smiles as she looks at him with fondness and gratitude
"If I told you how I've been living before I met you, I could only describe it as hell on earth. And I thought I could continue to live like that, I was already--- I was used to it, I accepted my fate. "
It's funny how I even stayed sane after all of those experiences.
She was never allowed to taste a speck of happiness and freedom, back in her original life, Eve Santana was a wanted hacker and was chased by people from different planets.
In her many previous lives, she went through different punishments and lived as a person who has gone through only hardships, pain, betrayal, and death. Then this man came into her life but since he has followed her, the Millers had been displeased with him lately, seeing how he had been staying in N Country for his personal reasons, and Alexander only showed indifference with their hostile gaze.
Although the elders knew no one else but Alexander deserves the position through the hard work that he had shown and years in managing the company. They still wanted Graham Company and ML Company to join hands together through Diana and Ethan but Alexander is preventing that from happening.
" I know they plan to make Ethan the next family head now that his fiancée is pregnant and since you're unmarried and don't have children, That means your position could be-"
"Molina..." Alexander tries to cut in, as he showed worry seeing his lover look so crestfallen.
"No let me finished--- " She looks at him, now with pleading eyes but Alexander didn't want to continue with such a heavy topic thinking it wasn't a big deal.
" You have nothing to worry about my love, and here I thought it was something serious. Shit, you really scared me."
"Alexander--" Eve tries to continue but Alexander wanted to stir away from the topic.
" Don't worry about me, I have plenty of ways to keep my status and it won't be easy to just remove me from my position. They can't just throw me away you know. " He removes his hand caging her wrist and places them on her waist as he reassuringly caresses his thumbs slowly, gentle touch wasn't unnoticed by Eve.
She tries again.
" Alexander, I know it's just---"
"And we have plenty of time to be together and on the topic of marriage, I think that's a sure thing to happen with us. You don't have anything to worry about, you are perfect--"
" I can't get pregnant Alex " The unexpected words cut him off, she looks straight at his eyes looking for his reaction. Even if she tries to hide the pain, it was obvious how hurt she looks as she admits the fact about her body, Eve had long had this problem, nothing will change about it.
" I can't give you children that would inherit the company, I knew the Millers had long wanted to match you with potential marriage candidates since they wanted you to have children now. While I can't be a mother like Diana or the rest of the women around. Your family wouldn't agree to have me, I knew that but even though I'm defective I still want you to want me. "
There wasn't much information about Alexander using Molina's memories but when Eve search around, she was able to understand more of Alexander's and his family. Power and Influence were important to the Millers, with Graham's step-daughter who owns one of the largest trading companies was confirmed to be engaged to Ethan, the Millers knew the future for ML Group will rise when they partner with the Grahams. Diana also had Jonathan and Dave who will assist her. She who had acquired the surname Graham with her mother's deeds, was now on her way to become a member of the Miller's for her child, even if she needs to kill Molina to secure her success.
" I also haven't been honest with you, from the start, I've been deceiving you but I can't tell you about it, I'm sorry." With unsteady breaths, she tries to suppress the tears in her glossy eyes.
Maybe remembering her past lives had made her like this, or it was how she finally feels like she wanted Alexander to know who she is. Who she really is, not as Molina but Eve Santana.
" I'm sorry...."
I can't give you everything. The body womb I possess becomes useless when I lived their lives.
I can't tell you I'm not Molina and she's already dead yet you love her and I don't know how to give you all of me.
Eve failed as a woman in her previous lives and couldn't give her partners the child that they wanted, even today she can't give her lover the future of being able to complete a family.
Eve Santana had been through so many lives and funny enough, she couldn't be a real mother in any of them, as if it was mocking her and playing with her mind.
No matter how hard she tried to follow and how well she followed, this fact won't change. She couldn't win against the system and the Order.
Alexander watches the woman under him who looks perfectly fine as she watches his face, anticipating any of his reactions. He had to sink everything in but his shoulders finally relaxed seeing there weren't any more words following up from her. He worriedly looks at her before a warm smile shows on his lips, he kisses her forehead.
"And here I thought you really left your husband and found a new boyfriend hiding in the closet, " Alexander says with a relieved expression as he glances at the side of the room where her said closet is found, after hearing his words, it was Molina's turn to look confused.
" What? Did you even he--"
"but it turns out my lovely wife was worried about me, this husband is very touched and turned on, but baby, the thing is-" he smirks leans back and Molina sees him taking off his coat and belt as he looks down at her with an eager smile. Removing his upper clothes, loosening his belt. Alexander's exudes confidence in his movement made Molina conscious of herself.
"You don't need to give me children to become my woman." The shirt, belt, and coat were one by one discarded on the floor.
The way he desires for her was obvious in his eyes, it was so real that for the first time in her life, Eve had become self-conscious as she turned red from his words.
The reaction wasn't left unnoticed by Alexander, who gave small laugh as he fondly thinks how she was so adorable in his eyes.
"I understand your worries and thankfully you told me this"
Alexander sighs in relief, then turns to lean his back on the headboard, as he takes Molina into his chest, making her sit on his thighs, with their face were only a short distance apart. He places his hand on her waist and the other slowly and gently comb her dark hair through his fingers. Feeling her soft and damp hair.
"I can handle my own family, all you just need to do is continue doing what you're doing. I should've talked about that matter to you but I thought it shouldn't really affect you yet here we are" He kisses her lips lightly before he proceeds to her jawline, slightly tickling her with his warms breath when he lowers his lips onto her soft neck.
Eve closes her eyes and leans her head back enabling Alexander to kiss her pale and glistening skin.
Loving the touches and the warmth of his lips, she could feel the tingling in her spine, she felt butterflies in her stomach, and her legs going weak. His voice was so soft and gentle yet deep and mature, making her ears turn red, all her senses were focusing on the presence of this man.
" And you're not defective my love, " he spoke with his lips continuing to press on her skin, hands slowly removing the robes covering her small shoulder.
"You're perfect just the way you are right now and I don't want you to think otherwise, your identity or status don't matter to me. Whoever you will become in the future, I will still love you and want you. From this moment and in the future, this heart will only long for you."
As he unties the knots of her robe, Alexander looks at her bare shoulder and neck as the fabric falls off her.
Eve couldn't help but let the tears flow down and Alexander let her cry her heart out, he watches her patiently.
He had long ago thought there were things she was hiding from him and Molina was such a mystery to the rest of the people after she left, she had changed, and even Alexander still hasn't fully understood her. Yet he can't demand her answers, rather, he doesn't worry about whether he will learn about it. He trusted her enough that it didn't matter to him if she was hiding a few more secrets and would never tell him, he will wait until she speaks of it or even die without knowing. He's fine with either of the two.
Alexander held her cheek and wipes the tears flowing on her face, he brings their lips and pressed them together, slowly he explores her lips with a sensual kiss. His hand moved to touch her waist and as he pulls back to look at her beautiful teary face.
"What do you want me to do? " Hot fingers stayed on her skin in the same place, not moving until she gives her answers. His gaze never wanders around her body as he only looks into her face and neck, eyes filled with desire yet understanding.
Tell me if you want me to stop?
Eve places her hands on his face and brings their face closer and their lips parted. And with her words, Alexander has released his retains.
" Make love to me."
