A black luxury car stopped in front of a white mansion. A beautiful woman with a big belly, like 6 months pregnant, greeted the figure who got out of the luxury car. she was very elegant in a dark blue overalls dress and pinned some of her black hair back and put on light makeup.
"Alexander, you've been gone too long," the woman said, embracing Alexander with a sad look.
Alexander sighed, then hugged her back gently and kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry, Karina. My schedule in Nevada is quite busy so I can't keep in touch with you," he said as he let go of the woman named Karina's hug. he put on a tired expression, then said, "I can even go home today because the three days there are always busy. I'm trying to speed up my work so I can get home as soon as possible."
"I've been having trouble sleeping lately..the doctor said this was the effect of my pregnancy which was entering the third trimester," Karina said with a frown.
Alexander lowered his head, glanced at Karina's bloated belly, and then touched it. "Don't worry because he'll be out soon and you'll be more comfortable."
"Hmmm, about 3 more months."
"It's not a long time, honey. Just enjoy these moments because one day you will miss these moments, the moment when your stomach is big and you can eat anything without being afraid of getting fat," said Alexander as he embraced Karina from the side and took her to enter the mansion.
Karina pouted and glanced at Alexander who was handsome and always showed a sweet attitude to her but sometimes disappeared without a word. "You're asking me to enjoy these moments while you're not accompanying me doesn't support me... This is so sad!" she said.
"I am like this because I work, stabilize the company because no matter how big the company is, if it is not managed properly, it can go bankrupt. Of course, it will be bad for our children's future," said Alexander glancing to the right while licking his lips occasionally. he kept making excuses when in fact he was in Nevada and constantly having fun with Daisy.
"I called you many times but it was always Pierce who answered..and he always says that you're busy and then another time he says you're resting and don't want to be disturbed," Karina said then let go of Alexander's arms and sat on the milky white couch in the living room. "I thought your time off was to be with me to just call me... But you said you didn't want to be disturbed. Does that mean getting a call from me is a nuisance so you gave Pierce your cell phone?"
"Babe ..." Alexander sat beside Karina, then held her hand gently.
"I'm heavily pregnant and I'm far from my husband….every day especially every night I always think about whether maybe out there my husband is having fun with other women because I'm not what I used to be... I'm so overthinking!" Karina said annoyed.
"That's not true at all, honey..don't ever think like that because you know yourself that I have been loyal to you since the beginning, even though I gave everything for you," Alexander said with a reassuring look. "Please understand ... The burden that I bear in managing the company is not easy. I'm so dizzy that when I'm really tired and have time to rest, I'll go to sleep. I often fall asleep on the couch when I'm resting... And I don't have time to take my cell phone from Pierce. I always wanted to sleep well during breaks, so I forgot to take my phone to Pierce..."
Lies, lies, and lies. everything he said was just sweet talk, because he was always with Daisy, even spending a lot of money on her. Turns out he's not as good as Daisy thought because, in reality, he's just a lying guy, not happy enough with one woman.
Karina turned her face away, disgusted at Alexander who gave her an explanation with pleading eyes. "It means you forget me, you don't remember me when you are tired and busy... I am not the main one for you!"
"You come first to me, honey...You're the only one I have in this world, then who else do I prioritize if not you?"
"Lie!"
"I'm serious, you can even check my cellphone now, you can even use my cellphone as you wish, and you will know that there are no other women who communicate with me besides employees," Alexander said as he took his cellphone from his jacket pocket, then put it on Karina's palm. "Now that I don't have a cell phone anymore ... You will always be in control of who communicates with me," he continued.
Karina was silent with a frown because she couldn't accept the reasons given by Alexander. she thought, maybe her husband had another cellphone without her knowing, so he dared to hand over the other cellphone to her.
"Honey, don't be angry ..," Alexander said with a pleading look, then leaned his head on Karina's thigh with his face facing his distended stomach. the man stroked his wife's distended stomach, occasionally kissing it too. "I was indeed wrong for not having time for you but I miss you... I feel bad like a husband for leaving you when you are heavily pregnant like this….I don't like this situation either."
"You have a lot of money and confidants you can ask to control the company ... But you don't do that," said Karina curtly.
"Because my company in Nevada is in an unstable state..that's why I have to focus more there than here."
"Then let me come with you there," said Karina.
Alexander immediately sat back down. "No, it's not necessary!"
"Why?" Karina asked with a surprised look because Alexander looked so disapproving that it looked like someone was surprised
"It's fine... I just don't want to tire you out more by traveling with me. Just stay here... I will always come home on time and often call you when I'm there," explained Alexander somewhat nervously.
"Usually you like to take me on trips abroad or to other cities, but this time you kept me in this mansion all the time, you are weird!" Karina said then stood up. She walked towards the stairs that led to the top floor, not wanting to hear Alexander's seduction or explanation which did not make her relieved at all.
Alexander sighed, staring at his cell phone lying on the couch. he thought about how to make his wife less angry and then he could still spend three days a week with Daisy.
'I don't want to make Daisy turn away from me just because I don't have time for her, I also don't want to lose Karina because after all she loves me without me having to seduce her,' he thought anxiously.
