Page 46 of Alexander's Heart

I chuckle because her enthusiasm makes everything so much better.

“I know Princess, but you have to go slower in the future,” Alexander says shaking his head with a big smile.

“I will Daddy, I’s pwomise.”

“I can’t believe the progress Alexander, how have you managed all this?”

Alexander smirks, “Money, Angel, I suppose it comes in handy when we really need it.”

“Alexander, this must be costing you a fortune,” I say leaning my body into his as he wraps his strong arms around me.

“Our fortune, and yes, it’s costing a bomb, but we’ll never miss it. Besides it’s worth it, I want my family happy and safe and that is all that matters to me, I couldn’t give two shits about the cost.”

We start walking up to house and Alexa runs ahead, she’s definitely going to sleep well tonight.

“What do you mean you’ll–”

“We won’t even notice the cost after six months, the returns we get on the investments we have will cover the cost, our money grows at a rapid rate because when we have large amounts invested.”

I stop and look up at Alexander, “I know you said you’re a billionaire but this is insane.”

“Angel, we honestly never have to worry about money ever in our lifetime, even if we have ten children there is more than we or their children will ever need.”

I start to feel faint and sway on my feet.

“Baby, I got you, are you okay?” Alexander asks concerned.

“I think so, I just need some water and to get out of this heat.”

Alexander scoops me up like I weigh nothing and starts jogging, jogging with my weight like I’m just a feather.

“Omg-osh put me down, I can walk, Handsome.”

“Not a chance, baby.” Alexander says emphatically.

We crest the hill and I see the army of workers all around our property and I’m amazed as I look around and see just how much work is actually done, the buildings are fully constructed and look finished on the outside except the hardware and exterior lighting.

Alexander’s phone starts ringing and he sits me on the decking as he fishes his cell out of his pocket and answers it.

‘Doc, what’s up?’

Alexander looks at me, ‘No, Lily’s okay, she needs some water, why?’ Alexander puts the call on speaker so I can hear Doc.

“Lily, how are you feeling?” Doc asks sounding a little off.

“I’m good, Doc, just a little hot and thirsty, why?” I look at Alexander and he shrugs.

“I was working with Caroline when all of a sudden she insisted I call and make sure you were, okay.”

There’s a shuffling noise on the other end then Caro’s voice.

“I felt it, Elizabeth, you were about to faint. Are you, okay?” Caro’s worried voice comes through the speaker.

I smile, and Alexander looks surprised, “I’m good, it’s hot and I’m excited seeing the property, I’m okay, I promise.”

Alexa comes around the corner just as Caro says, “Pinky promise.”

“What’s a pinky promise, Mommy.” Her face questioning.
