Davina’s Pov:-
Do something you idiot, my subconscious yelled inside my head. I quickly tripped back and fell on the ground with a fake loud cry holding my ankle.
“Oh my god! It hurts,” I cried out loud while glancing at him, he quickly rushed to me and took hold of my ankle.
“Are you alright?” He asked with concern evident in his eyes and it made me feel guilty for a second but I covered it up and cried harder as he touched my ankle.
“It hurts,” I whimpered and tried to look in pain as much as I can,
He quickly tried to lift me up, “One second,” I said while pulling the file from the floor, as I took it he quickly held me in his arms and walked out of the room. I still kept whimpering and acting as if my ankle hurt,
“It’s okay,” he kept whispering while placing me down on his soft bed.
“Ouch!” I whined,
“Coop!” he yelled and within a minute he was here with an ice pack, I guess he saw Arthur carrying me here.
“Here, Mr. Spencer,” He said while handing the ice pack to him.
Arthur examined my ankle carefully and placed the ice pack at my ankle, the cool sensation made me gasp and I covered it up with my fake whimpers.
“It’s okay!” he said with a worried expression on his face, that damn look stabbed my heart and it hurt like hell inside.
I looked away and glanced at the ice pack on my ankle, he kept massaging my ankle and applied ointment on it. He placed my leg down and pulled the cover over me and I hid the file under it, away from his eyes. He placed a kiss on my forehead,
“Take rest,” he whispered and turned around. I watched him walk out of the room, leaving me alone. A sigh of relief left my lips, once I saw him walk out.
Thank god! He didn’t see the file nor those names inside the file. Jesus! Where should I hide this one now?
I slowly got up from the bed and made my way towards the walk-in closet near the bathroom door, I opened the door of it and walked inside, I looked around and noticed the cupboard at the corner of the closet. I walked there and pulled the last third drawer of it and placed the file under those winter clothes, carefully.
I was positive he wouldn’t use them as I saw a few new pairs of winter clothes near his business attire section. I slowly made my way back to his bed and climbed on it, I laid down and pulled the cover over me and took a deep breath.
I wish things could go back to normal, I wish I didn’t ask him about her parents. Goddammit, why can’t my life be normal, Why does it have to be this way?
While my mind got all these types of thoughts, my eyelids felt heavy and I slowly slipped into a deep slumber.

I could feel soft and long fingers tracing my cheek softly, I groaned while opening my eyes and met with a pair of blue/green eyes. He smiled at me while tracing my cheek with his fingertips, “Wake up,” he said while tracing my lower lip with his thumb.
I smiled as I slowly got up and leaned my back to the headboard, “What time is it?” I asked while yawning.
“8:30” he replied,
“What!” I asked while widening my eyes in surprise, I slept for 4 hours? Jesus Christ!
“Yea!” he chuckled at my reaction,
“Come, dinner is ready,” he said while taking my hand in his and helping me get down from the bed. I don’t know from where I got this courage but I stepped closer to him and placed a kiss on his cheek. He glanced down at me with a surprising look, I smiled at him and walked to the bathroom and washed my face before walking downstairs with him, I fed April before having my dinner and took her to her room.
“Go to sleep princess,” I placed a kiss on her forehead and pulled her closer to me.
I watched her close her eyes and move closer to me, we were growing very close to each other. She began to express her emotions slowly and talk little things, her soft and angelic voice was adorable to listen to.
“Thank you,” she whispered softly, I glanced down at her and saw her sleeping peacefully. A smile appeared on my face when I saw her sleeping face, I pushed a strand of her face and traced her cheek.
As she slept, I slowly got up from the bed and walked out of her room quietly while closing the door behind.
I made my way to my room, as I opened the door and stepped inside. I directly walked into the bathroom and took a hot shower. Wrapping a white fluffy towel around my body, I walked out of the bathroom and wore comfortable clothes before heading to my bed.
I kept staring at the ceiling while sighing deeply, the things between Arthur and me were running in my head. If we kept having sex this way, I might definitely end up getting pregnant with his child. I have to avoid having sex with him and control my fucking hormones when I’m with him.
I can’t deny the fact that I enjoy having sex with him as much as he does but we can not go on this way. The contract lasts for only 365 days and at some point, I have to move on with my life, I can’t get used to him. I have to stop thinking about him and keep my emotions in control before it’s too late.
