(Finn’s POV)It was fifteen minutes before seven when I saw Lexi almost out of breath as she entered the building. She looked like a single mother escaping from someone walking fast to the lobby with two bags on both shoulders. Tossing the magazine I was pretending to read, I stood up but still thought about whether to walk in her direction or just watch her.I called Jolene last night, but before I could inform her that Lexi was coming back to work, she told me that Lexa would not come home for a few days, and she felt guilty that she could not help in taking care of Aliyah because she had an exam this week. I wished to tell her I didn’t care, but after calling her at three, I had been sitting here for an hour, waiting for Lexi, but didn’t realize Frank would be coming to work early too.My eyes squinted, and my lips curled in annoyance when I saw him taking Aliyah and the baby bag from her shoulder. I stood up and walked toward the elevator, following them. Lexi panicked, pushing th

(Frank’s POV)“Knock, knock!” I said gently, knocking at an already ajar door.Sky raised his head and lifted an eyebrow at me instead of asking what I needed. I didn’t usually knock because I would usually come and go to his office bringing documents or anything he needed.“I know you still have one meeting, but can I leave early today?” I asked, wanting to go to Lexi while I still had the courage to talk to her.“My meeting’s with the president of Absolute Glam, Frank, and I was still thinking about whether to talk to her here or in bed,” he smirked.“I prefer the bed,” I chuckled.“I might consider your suggestion, so please, go!” He raised his hand, gesturing a short wave before focusing on the report he was reading.Catherine only waved her hand at me when I took my car key from the table, and like Sky, she returned her eyes to the monitor.As I entered the elevator and pressed the button toward Finn’s office floor area, my mind wandered to the day I was jogging the mesmerizing s

(Lexi’s POV)I was dreaming.Lexa was here, waking me up with a kiss on my forehead. When I opened my eyes, I found her sitting on the edge of the bed, silently crying. She lay beside me, wrapping her arms around my body, kissed my cheek, and apologized for leaving me.“Forgive me, Lexi,” she whimpered.I rolled to her side, facing her, and smiled.“I love you, Lexa,” I uttered in a sleepy voice, reaching for her face. “Aliyah and I missed you so much,” I sighed, not wanting to close my eyes, but the past two days of working and caring for our little sister were tiring, and sleep was dragging my consciousness again.“I love you, too,” she whispered and hummed a song.As I opened my eyes again, my lips curved into a gentle smile because the woman brushing the strand of hair on my face was the one I had wanted to see for a long time.“Mom…” I whimpered.“You’re such a brave girl, my Lexi. I love you…”It was like an air whispering to me. My eyes closed when she kissed my forehead. When

(Finn’s POV)I wondered where in space Lexi went because when I came back from my meeting, she was still not back at her table. Before my appointment, Angela came into my office and took Aliyah and Oxygen with her, telling me that her children were in her office and would like to play with them.The sealed white envelope with Greene’s hospital logo and Lexi’s name caught my attention. Suspicious of what was inside, I looked around quickly and took the envelope, keeping it inside my suit jacket’s pocket. Lexi might be pregnant, and how she acted, pushing me away, I hate to think she would hide my child as Anj did.‘Quadruplets!’I pursed my lips, unsure how Lexi would take care of four babies when she had Aliyah with her. Lexa could be there to help her out, but I would not let those things happen.I must be guilty because when I opened the door and stepped inside my private office, my body jerked, startled to see Olivia sitting on my swivel chair, busy chatting with someone on her sma

(Lexi’s POV)My lips curved into a smile as I closed the door behind me. Blushing at the intense kiss Finn and I shared, I licked and bit my bottom lip as if still tasting his delicious mouth. If we were not interrupted by whoever opened and closed his office door, I wanted more kisses.The thought of that ‘someone’ returned me to the reality that someone came in and saw us kissing. Without moving my head, only my eyes moving side to side, I checked the floor area but did not see anyone. Shrugging, I raised my hands, my palms tapping my cheeks lightly as I walked toward my table to answer the shrilling cry of the company smartphone.Still smiling, I sat and took my pen and notebook before swiping the screen to answer.“Hold that long introduction. This is Portia,” she said as soon as I answered, sounding mad and stopping me from my long introduction. “Tell Finn I knew from the beginning he’s not serious about me, so tell him I don’t care!!!”My body jolted when she screamed at me… or
