Chapter 68 Protecting You
When Alpha Gideon arrived at the hospital, his wife was already back in her room, her face covered with bandages, which means the surgery was successful.
The doctor had already told him that his wife couldn't talk properly yet but was conscious. He held her hand in his and whispered. “My love, I’m back.”
Luna Rosie opened her eyes and looked at her husband, happy that he had come to visit him in the hospital after surgery.
“How are you feeling now? You don’t have to answer me, just give me a thumbs up if you are feeling fine,” he said.
Luna Rosie nodded her head slightly and gave him a thumbs up.
“Good. I’m glad you are doing great. Rest well my love. I will stay here in your room for a few hours and afterwards, I need to go home to take care of some important matters. I brought you the book that you have not finished reading yet. Do you want me to read it for you? Or you want to watch TV?” He asked gently.
“Book,” Luna Rosie responded in a whisper.
“OK.” Alpha Gideon opened the fantasy romance novel and began reading it loudly for his wife to hear.
Three hours later, Alpha Gideon finished reading the 150 chapter book.
“Thanks.” Luna Rosie gave him a thumbs up and drifted into sleep.
Alpha Gideon stayed in the room for the next twenty minutes then left the room before his wife woke up from a slumber.
He went home excited to see Mira. Being with her and their unborn child gives him energy, good vibes and feelings of satisfaction. He likes that kind of vibe.
When he reached home, he quickly looked for Mira in her room. He found her standing near the window, looking outside.
“Where is Lena?” he asked as he approached her.
Hearing his voice, she turned around and smiled. “She is in the kitchen helping the cook prepare the food. She will be back any minute now."
“Ah, OK,” he murmured and looked at her tenderly. “Before I went to the hospital to check on my wife, I instructed the servants to clean the bungalow house. By tomorrow you and Lena can finally relocate there,” he said casually, lowering himself to the bed.
Her face lit up with excitement. “Amazing, I can’t wait to live there!” she gushed in a thrilled voice.
He patted the space beside him. “Come here, babe. Sit beside me.”
Her heart leapt with joy. She smiled, thrilled that he had called her babe. She obeyed and sat beside him on the bed. She met his gaze adoringly. “You are calling me babe now? What does it mean?” she asked innocently. Her heart beat rapidly as she inhaled his intoxicating male scent, making her core throb with desire. Just being near him feels so right.
“From now on get used to me calling you babe, and you should call me babe too,” he said, enveloping her in a loving embrace.
Overwhelmed with happiness, she whispered, “I love you babe. Thank you for loving me despite everything.”
“I love you too, babe,” he replied, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. He planted another kiss on her baby bump. “I love you baby. I can’t wait to see you and hold you in my arms after your mommy gives birth to you. I’m excited to hear your first cry, see your first smile,” he said tenderly, caressing her belly.
His voice was so gentle that it brought tears to Mira’s eyes. She wished this happy moment could last forever. She felt like they were really husband and wife. Her heart could only hope and wish this moment would last forever.
“Would it be okay with you if I had two wives, you and Rosie? Is that okay with you?” he asked, looking deeply into her eyes, trying to read her soul.
Tears of happiness shone in Mira’s eyes. “Yes, I love being your wife for real. I don’t care if I'm the second or third wife, as long as I can see you and call you my husband I would be the happiest woman alive on this planet,” she gushed in elation.
“You don’t care if I will only be able to spend a few hours every day with you? You won’t get upset or angry that sometimes I am very busy and I can’t be with you all the time? Is that arrangement okay with you?” he asked, observing her face.
Mira nodded her head. “Don’t worry about that issue, as long as you text me and say hello to me and visit me a few days a week, I would be very happy and thankful for your time,” she assured him. She wants to be supportive and understanding of his busy schedule. She doesn't want to be an added burden to him.
“Good.” He smiled, pleased with her positive statement. “I like that you are open to the idea of me having another wife because that would eventually happen soon. After Rosie’s face was clear of the scars, I will marry her. This way she and I no longer have to hide our relationship,” he explained.
“I understand. I've always been supportive of you and Luna Rosie because she was your original wife. I have no right to demand more of your time. You will naturally spend more time with her than with me. I’m fine with that set up,” she says merrily, no hint of sadness or anger in her voice.
“So are you open to becoming friends with Rosie one day?” he finally asked.
“Yes of course. As long as she doesn't hurt me again, I’m willing to be friends with her. I will do anything for you," she said with a smile, sincere with her intention to establish friendship with Luna Rosie in order to achieve peace and harmony in their relationship.
“Great!” He smiled, pleased with her cooperation and willingness to befriend his wife Rosie despite their not so good relationship.
At this point in time, his heart beats for Mira because she has a calmer temperament compared to his wife. But it’s not Rosie’s fault at all. Before the soul swap took place, he and Rosie were fine. Her attitude turned worse after the soul swap.
After talking to Mira he went to his room to take a shower thinking he already had everything under control.
While showering, he suddenly had a bad feeling that his wife Rosie would probably descend into madness after discovering that he had already taken the steps to get closer to Mira discreetly. She would consider it as betrayal and she would move heaven and hell just to get her own form of justice.
What is he going to do about it?
Well, he does have a choice. While it’s at an early stage he will stop getting closer to Mira and spend more time with his wife, lavishing her with love and attention so she will stop feeling jealous. That way there will be long lasting peace in their marriage life.
But just thinking about it makes him feel bad because being with Mira feels so right.
Choosing Rosie over Mira already makes him feel conflicted inside. His entire being opposes it.
Is it really hard to fall in love with his wife’s new face and body?
Is that hard?
Why doesn't he try to fake his love for his wife until one day his fake love will turn into something real? Just like the saying, ‘Fake it Till You Make It!’
Actually he doesn't mind having two wives because it will help solve their problems quickly, just that Rosie would make sure their life would be a living hell after she learned of the truth that he was planning to pursue a sexual and romantic relationship with Mira despite her opposition.
All of these are creating mental fatigue in his system. He wished the soul swap didn’t happen at all. If only he had the power to turn back time, he would immediately undo the soul swap between his wife and Mira.
Damn!
Just thinking about his chaotic problem with his two wives already makes his head throb painfully.
But it’s good that at an early stage he was already taking steps to ensure Mira's safety.
With Mira out of the mansion, Rosie would have no say in Mira’s future anymore. He will make sure Rosie does not cross the boundary when it comes to Mira’s privacy and safety.
He had to order Lena to change her phone number so Rosie would stop forcing the poor maid to report to her everything she knows about Mira and him. If Rosie and Lena’s communication was cut off early no bad news could reach his wife’s ears, therefore she will believe that nothing is going on with him and Mira.
If there is no bad news, no chaos.
There can only be peace between the three of them.
He will be in control of their situation from now on. The women must follow and obey his rules; it is the only way to prevent fights between the two women.
After showering, he returned to Mira’s room and found the two women watching TV.
Mira quickly turned off the TV after seeing the serious expression on his face.
“Girls, I have an announcement to make,” he said.
The women looked at him apprehensively, waiting for him to start talking again.
He looked at Lena. “From now on, change your phone number and don’t give your number to my wife. You and my wife cannot communicate anymore. This is the only way she will stop pestering you about sending daily reports to her about Mira’s daily activities.”
“B-but, Alpha, Luna Rosie would get mad at me if I changed my number without informing her first,” Lena protested fearfully.
"Don't worry about that issue. I will tell my wife that you are no longer her personal maid. You are now Mira’s personal maid starting today. Do you understand?" He said authoritatively.
Lena nodded her head. “Yes, I understand, Alpha.”
“Good,” he said, then looked at Mira. “Tomorrow afternoon, you and Lena will leave the mansion and relocate to the bungalow house. I will personally accompany you there.”
“Thank you, Alpha,” Mira smiled graciously, looking forward to leaving the grandeur of the mansion for a quieter and much safer life in the bungalow house.
Done talking to the girls, Alpha Gideon left the room and went back to the hospital to check on his wife.
Back in Mira’s room.
The women were silent, staring at each other's faces.
“Are you glad that Alpha Gideon finally cut off Luna Rosie’s hold on you?” Mira asked.
“Yeah.” Lena nodded her head, smiling brightly. “Honestly, I feel relieved. I no longer have to report anything to Luna Rosie. My problems and anxiety are gone for good. I recently bought a new SIM card. I will use it starting today so Luna Rosie can no longer contact me.”
Mira smiled inwardly. Now that Lena and Luna Rosie’s communication was cut off for good, she and Alpha Gideon can finally do everything they want to do with their precious time without anyone spying on them.
She finally saw a bright future waiting for her on the horizon now that Alpha Gideon was keen on protecting her.
Her good fortune has just begun.
