Surprise Marriage to a Billionaire

Chapter 133: Make a Baby

Alexander was in the middle of a meeting when Rico called. He answered instantly, only to feel his heart sink as Rico explained that they had lost track of Rain while following her car. She had gone out for lunch with a colleague, another prosecutor on her team, but now they had no idea where she was.

He could have called her right then, but he stopped himself. He didn’t want to seem overly protective—again. Rain was fiercely independent, something he admired, but the part of him that always needed to know where she was, who she was with, and if she was safe, was hard to keep in check.

After that call, he couldn’t focus. The meeting was a blur, and eventually, he dismissed everyone. He kept monitoring the situation until finally, Rico reported that they had found her eating lunch. He felt a wave of relief wash over him. For all he cared, this could be work-related, but something still felt off.

Feeling unsettled, he asked Matt about the colleague Rain was with and had him send over the man’s profile. He told himself not to overreact, but when Rico later sent him a photo of Rain having coffee with that same man at a convenience store, the unease crept back in. Still, he forced himself to stay put and focus on work, trying his best to ignore the nagging feeling in the back of his mind.

It wasn’t like him to get distracted, but his last thread of control snapped when Rico called again—this time reporting that Rain had encountered some trouble. Though Rico confirmed she was safe, that wasn’t enough for Alexander. He dropped everything, driving straight to the prosecution office to see for himself if she was alright.

He called her, fully prepared to barge into her office if she didn’t answer. Luckily, she agreed to meet him in the parking lot. Relief washed over him when he saw her walking toward his car, but his relief quickly turned to concern when he noticed her torn skirt and how her heels had been replaced by flats.

Rain insisted she wasn’t hurt, and it took every ounce of self-control not to overreact.

’Can I just lock her up somewhere safe?’ he thought while listening to her explanation. But he already knew better. Nothing was going to stop this woman from doing what she wanted.

’Such a pain in the ass,’ he helplessly thought, but despite everything, he didn’t want this "pain in the ass" far from him. If anything, he was starting to get clingy. Right now, all he wanted was to take her away from all this, but he knew he had to ask.

"Can you come with me now, or do you still need to wrap things up?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.

"I still have a witness to interview. Don’t you have work to do?" she shot back, raising a brow.

"I’m the boss, I own the company. I can decide whether or not I want to work," he replied, trying to sound nonchalant.

Rain rolled her eyes. "Right. Must be nice to live like you."

Alexander couldn’t help but find her adorable when she did that, but something bothered him. Her usual alluring scent was mixed with a faint smoky odor. He leaned in closer, taking a deeper sniff. "How come you smell like that?"

"Oh, I ate at a small smoky eatery," she replied casually.

Just then, he spotted the man from the photos Rico had sent, stepping out of his car and heading toward the entrance.

Alexander’s gaze shifted back to Rain, noticing her wearing another turtleneck, likely to cover the hickey he had left on her neck. Subconsciously, he reached out, gently tugging at the fabric. "It’s not that obvious anymore," he hummed.

The mark had faded, and a possessive urge flared within him. He leaned in, kissing the opposite side of her neck softly and whispered, "I’m putting another mark since the other one’s fading."

As his lips brushed against her skin, he heard her whisper, "What are you doing?"

"Making sure you don’t forget who you belong to," he murmured, his voice low as he sucked on her skin, leaving another mark.

Her skin was soft and intoxicating, and even though he knew he should stop, he couldn’t help himself. His lips travelled along her jawline until they found their way to her luscious lips.

He had been craving this moment. She had tormented him for nights with just the thought of her lips. Now, he could taste her—both the lingering flavour of her meal and the coffee she had drunk. It all tasted perfect on her. When her lips parted, maybe to say something, he didn’t give her the chance. His tongue dove deeper, pulling her closer into him, not letting her go.

Alexander’s thoughts became clouded with desire. He hadn’t intended for things to escalate this way, but once he started, it was hard to stop. Rain’s lips were soft, sweet, and intoxicating, and all the tension he had been holding in— her being in danger, and his jealousy over her colleague—unleashed in that single, passionate kiss.

Rain’s hands instinctively moved to his chest, as if to push him away, but he only deepened the kiss before. His tongue explored her mouth, tasting the remnants of the meal she had shared with someone else. His grip on her waist tightened, pulling her closer as if he feared she would slip away from him.

"Alexander," Rain gasped for air when he finally released her lips. She was utterly confused. The kiss had felt amazing, but what was wrong with him taking the lead in such an intimate way without warning?

She glared at him, adjusting her turtleneck. "What are you doing, huh?" she demanded.

He blinked at her innocently and shrugged, "Kissing my wife."

"I *know* you’re kissing me! What I meant was, why do you keep giving me hickeys? I hate wearing turtlenecks!" she finally blurted out. Besides, she was running out of them.

"Then don’t wear one," he replied nonchalantly. "You’re married—so what if they see your hickeys?"

Her nostrils flared, and she was starting to lose her patience. "You’re unbelievable! You’re the one who insisted on keeping this marriage a secret. It’s in our contract! I already told you, it’s for both of us to keep everything under wraps, especially since you’re planning to divorce me after four months!" she pointed out sharply.

Alexander sighed and met her gaze. "I told you, we can stay married forever, Rain. Let’s make a baby, then that divorce won’t happen..."
