Chapter 50

Brandon's POV

"The plan is settled then." I said dismissing the men. "Andrew can I have a word with a you?"

"Yes of course." He stayed back and we were left alone.

"I know there's something else bothering you." I said.

"Actually yes. I have another piece of information. There's a traitor between us. Someone close. Very close." He replied. I tensed at his words.

"Who?"

Alexandra's POV

"So when can we feel the baby kicking?" Maria asked with light up eyes.

"It's still early." I laughed at her eagerness.

"Oh. Why?" I laughed more clutching my tummy. "What?" She glared.

"Maria, the baby hasn't developed his legs and arms. Therefore he can't kick." Her mouth formed an 'o' shape.

"I really hope you are having a girl." She said excitedly.

"Yeah me too. I'll be the best auntie in the world." Anna said. I chuckled at them.

"So Maria. You're wedding is in 2 days!! I can't wait. Finally you're getting married."

"Yeah I should've been married a while ago but it's okay. Andrew is going crazy actually." She laughed with a smirk. "He can't wait anymore." She giggled and I laughed with her.

"I'm craving something salty." I suddenly said.

"What do you want?" She asked immediately.

"I want..." I paused a few seconds to word my thoughts. "Soup. That's it. I want some soup. With citrus in it. Omg Maria I want soup right now."

"Okay okay I'm going to tell the chef to make you some soup." She left the room.

I put my hand on my stomach and caressed it lovingly. I can't describe what it's like to have a human being inside you. It's the best feeing in the world. But it holds responsibility too. To keep the baby protected.

"Hey little one. Do you want soup?" I laughed at my own words. "I love you so much. I know you're so small but you're are a world to me. You're my world."

"That was nice. Now my child will think you love him more than me." Brandon was standing next to the door the whole time.

"Oh shut up." I rolled my eyes. "And it's a her." I shrugged.

"Whatever." He came and sat next to me. He put his hand on my stomach and rub it just like I was doing few minutes ago.

"Hello son. I love you more than your mom okay?" He whispered to my stomach. He's so cute. "And if you're a girl. I would love you even more." He kissed my stomach and looked at me with warm eyes.

"You're amazing." I said wiping a tear.

"I love you." But before I reply Maria entered with a hot bowl of soup.

"Soup!" She placed the bowl on the table and I dug in it.

The warm liquid flew down my throat with the citrus in it. I was flying. What? I adore food okay! Plus I'm a pregnant woman. I should eat.

I turned to see Brandon and Maria watching me trying to muffle their laugh.

"Laugh all you want. I'm on a date with my soup." I smirked.

"Great now I'm jealous from a fucking soup." Brandon growled.

"Oh yeah you should be." I smiled sweetly and continued eating.

2 days later

"Maria!" I gasped as I looked at the gorgeous woman in front of me. "You look absolutely stunning." I hugged her.

"Thank you Alex. It means a lot."

"Maria you ready honey?" We heard Maria's father's voice.

"Yes daddy one second." She applied her lipstick and looked one more time in the mirror.

"Okay I'm going to wait for you." I smiled and left.

The ball room was designed so beautifully. Their marriage will be a distraction for the enemy. They will think that Andrew and Maria are on their honeymoon which means that they will think we know nothing about the attack.

But we were more than ready.

The song started and the doors were open. I hurried to take my place, as queen, next to the king. On the small balcony upstairs.

Andrew was looking handsome but I won't say that loud. Brandon would kill him.

"Why are you smiling like that?" That's how my dear Brandon greeted me.

"No 'you look beautiful'?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Alexa you're always gorgeous in whatever you are wearing." He whispered in my ear.

"Stop we should concentrate." I rolled my eyes.

"I love you more than anything in this fucking world." He said taking my hand in his.

"I love you too." I winked.

"Let's go finish this evening in our room."

"Brandon there's plenty of people here. We can't disappear like that." I scolded him.

"But-"

"No buts mister." I cheered when they both kissed. Finally they are married.

"Your highness your drink." Laura gave me a cup of orange juice.

"Thank you Laura." Another maid gave Brandon his.

5 minutes later a strong pain me in the tummy. But I brushed it off when it disappeared. I watched the couples as they dance.

Mom and dad.

Lea and Ace.

Harry and Anna.

Conor and his wife.

Everyone was enjoying the wedding. But me. The pain only intensified and I clutched my tummy hard.

"Brandon." He whipped his head in my direction and he seemed alarmed when he saw my state.

"what's happening?" He almost shouted.

"I-I don't know." I screamed when another pain hit me. "Omg!" I clutched it harder.

Not wanting to ruin Andrew and Maria's wedding I stood up to go to the clinic.

"Sweetheart are you okay please answer me." He said. When we left the room Brandon scooped me bridal style.

"Your highness are you okay?" Laura rushed to my side.

"I'm taking care of it." Brandon said and he started running with me in his arms.

"Peter!" He yelled entering the clinic.

"Your highness what's happening?" He set me on the bed.

"I don't know." He said frustrated.

Blood started spilling from under me and I watched in horror.

"We're losing the baby!" That's the last thing I heard before I welcomed darkness.
