The Arrangement Factor (ARRANGEMENT SERIES #1)

Chapter 90

Sarah's POV

Mia and Daniel embarked on their honeymoon immediately after the wedding. Following suit, Alex and I decided to make our exit from the party.

Upon entering the room, Alex gently placed me on the bed and hovered above me.

A small gasp escaped my lips at his sudden action, he kissed me hungrily, and when his attention shifted to my neck, a ticklish sensation overcame me, prompting laughter. "Alex, stop," I playfully protested, though he knew I didn't truly want him to cease.

He continued to suck on my neck and leave me with a lot of hickeys for tomorrow.

Teasingly, I remarked, "It's only been 2 weeks, and you're already as hungry as an animal."

Lifting his head from the crook of my neck and locking eyes with me, he declared, "2 weeks? I can't even live without you for 2 hours, Dove. Moreover, you have no idea how addictive you are and how addicted I am to you, my little Dove," before claiming my mouth once more.

As anticipated, rest was not on the agenda for tonight.

I felt the bile rising in my stomach, attempting to get out of bed, but Alex's arms were securely wrapped around my waist, making it impossible to free myself.

I nudged him, trying to wake him from his deep sleep, but he remained motionless. "Alex, please move. I need to use the washroom."

I got no response, I couldn't endure it any longer, so I resorted to pinching his arm. He yelped "Ow", and I hastily made my way to the washroom.

He followed behind, holding my hair and assisting me in cleaning up afterward.

Exhausted from the wedding planning and the subsequent bout of sickness, I collapsed on my stomach on the bed and closed my eyes immediately. Alex joined me, wrapping his arms around me. "You okay, Dove?" he asked concerned.

I simply nodded, turning around to nuzzle closer to him. His calming scent provided some relief, and I soon drifted off to sleep.

Upon waking, I realized I was running late. I was never one to sleep in, even when unwell. However, after getting up to vomit around 4 a.m., I fell into a deep slumber, forgetting everything.

As I attempted to rise, Alex entered the room, dressed in his usual suit.

"You're up. How are you feeling now?" he inquired, approaching me.

"I feel good. I'm sorry I slept so late," I apologized, still not eager to leave the bed.

"Don't be sorry, baby. You were ill, and you've been overexerting yourself for the past two weeks. You needed the rest, especially considering you've been dealing with nausea for almost a week now."

I didn't realise but yes I have been feeling nauseous for almost over a week now.

Interrupting my thoughts, Alex said, "Come, I've prepared a bath for you to relax."

He prepared a bath for me? He's so caring... Why do I feel like crying?

I threw my arms around him, hugging him tightly. "I love you, Alex."

He laughed and replied, "I love you too, Dove. Now, let's get you relaxed, okay?" I nodded, still holding onto him and not letting him go.

He understood and chuckled. I don't know why, but today I felt very clingy, and I didn't want him away. Picking me up, he moved to the bathtub.

He already had the tub filled with hot water and was holding some bath bombs, which I assumed he borrowed from Maa.

He placed me on the side of the tub and, after closing the tap, threw the bath bomb into the water. Then, he slowly removed my clothes and settled me inside the tub.
