VICTORIA’S POV
I rolled onto my round bed as the ray of light fell on my eyes. With birds chipping, I flattered the lashes and opened my eyes.
It’s a bright sunny day in Paris. With the amazing smell of flowers tickling my nose, I stretched my hands before sitting on the bed.
It has been three months since I left home, and I am currently residing in Paris. I have resumed my studies, albeit through distance learning, as per my family’s strict orders. Despite that, I am enjoying my time here.
After getting ready, I dressed up in a knee-length, bright floral dress and paired it with soft sponge sandals. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I focused on my baby bump in particular.
I am now visibly pregnant, having reached the five-month mark, and I can feel the transformations taking place in my body. Although it can be a bit overwhelming, I am thoroughly enjoying every aspect of motherhood.
It’s a different feeling; mama said she would come here next month and accompany me with the baby growing up.
I caressed my belly, “I love you, my child.” Kissing my palm, I pressed my hand over my belly.
Twirling around for one last time, I walked out of my room and was immediately greeted by the fragrance of a chicken sandwich by Maria.
Oh, yes. I am strictly forbidden to eat outside food. So, mama sent Maria and James with me to keep an eye on me. Not to mention, Sage and Daniel are also here with me.
I went to the kitchen. “Good Morning, Maria,” I greeted her with a back hug. Maria smiled and asked me to take a seat.
As I sat down with my legs on the chair and started reading a newspaper, the doorbell rang.
Maria spoke from the kitchen, “Perhaps James has returned from the grocery.” She was heading towards the door when I intervened, standing up and saying, “Allow me to handle it.” I then proceeded to open the door.
The moment I opened it, I gasped in surprise at a grinning handsome face in front of my eyes. His soft brown eyes glowed as if he had found a gem.
“Hey, beautiful,” Jayden winked before taking me into a hug.
“Hey!” I hugged him back, recovering from my shock. “What a pleasant surprise! What are you doing here?” I asked.
He pulled his suitcase from behind, still grinning, “of course, to accompany my little best friend!” And before I could say anything, he pushed me beside him and walked straight inside with his suitcase.
Closing the door, I trailed behind him. He had already entered the kitchen and started eating sandwiches. “Hey, that’s mine!” I snatched one from him, rolling my eyes.
“What?” I turned in confusion, but there was nothing... “Oh!” I was surprised when he suddenly snatched away the sandwich from me. “Jayden!” I narrowed my eyes at him. “That’s not fair!”
