Chapter 55 The Lavish Gift
Alice’s P. O. V.
In the middle of the night, I wake up in the opulent cabin of the yacht. I notice Alexander standing outside, leaning against the railing with a cigarette in his hand. He must be feeling the chill of the night air as he is shirtless.
I climb down from the bed and wrap the comforter around my body. As I step out of the room, a cool breeze caresses my face, causing my hair to sway gently.
After approaching him, I envelop him in the comforter, hugging him from behind. The contact of our bare skin beneath the blanket sends a delightful shiver down my spine.
Curiously, I inquire, “Why are you out here, Alexander? It’s so cold.” Nuzzling closer to him, I seek comfort in his presence.
He responds, clasping my hand and bringing it close to his lips. “Just enjoying the night view.” He whispers before planting a gentle kiss on my hand, bringing a smile to my face.
He turns towards me and engulfs me in his warm arms while covering us in the blanket.
As we stand there, wrapped in the comforter, I peer out into the night sky and take in the breathtaking view that Alexander finds so captivating. The moon hangs low, casting a soft glow over the calm waters, while stars twinkle like distant promises.
As tranquillity wash over me, I rest my head against his chest and listened to the rhythmic beat of his heart; it is soothing and comforting. The scent of his cologne mixed with the salty sea breeze creates a delightful and intoxicating aroma.
Lost in the moment, we stay embraced, silently absorbing the calmness of the night. The world seems to fade away, leaving only the two of us and the gentle sounds of the ocean.
After a while, Alexander breaks the hug and gazes at me with a gentle smile playing on his lips. His eyes, illuminated by the moonlight, hold warmth and tenderness that make my heart flutter.
“I’m grateful to have you by my side, Alice.” He whispers, his voice filled with honesty. “You bring light to my darkest nights.”
I feel my cheeks flush with a mixture of joy and affection, my own emotions mirrored in his gaze. I never thought that one day I would see the profound love for me in his eyes.
After leaning closer, he captures my lips in a tender kiss, sealing our unspoken promises and sealing our souls together in this shared moment. As our lips dance in harmony, I feel grateful for the unpredictable twists and turns that led us to this point.
After breaking the kiss, we stand there, enjoying the breathtaking night view, our connection deepening with each passing second.
As the night progresses, the temperature drops further, and I can feel Alexander’s body growing colder against mine. I take a step back, holding his gaze. Then I untangle myself from the comforter and drape it around him. His eyes meet mine, a mixture of gratitude and tenderness shining within them.
“Thank you.” He murmurs, his voice tinged with a hint of gratefulness. “For always taking care of me, even in the smallest ways.”
A gentle smile flashes on my face as I reach out to cup his cheek. “It’s my pleasure, Alexander. Taking care of you is something I cherish. You mean the world to me.” I stand on my toes and place a soft kiss on his lips.
He scoops me in his arms and carries me back to the room.
As we lie on the bed, facing each other, I trace my fingers gently across his cheek, memorising the contours of his face. His eyes lock with mine, and in that silent exchange, I know that this night will forever be etched in our memories.
No matter what the future holds, I am certain of one thing-Alexander and I are bound by love and nothing can separate us. We’ve overcome challenges, and he fought with his demons, and in doing so, we’ve discovered the true depth of our feelings for each other.
I lean in to kiss him once more, cherishing the taste of his lips and the way our souls intertwine with each meeting.
I drift off to sleep with a beatific smile on my face, our bodies entwined under the blanket. I find solace and contentment, knowing that I am exactly where I belong-in the arms of the man I love, Alexander.

The soft rays of the morning sun peek through the curtains, gently waking me from my peaceful slumber. I stir and gradually open my eyes, greeted by the sight of Alexander still lying beside me, his features relaxed in sleep. A surge of affection floods my heart, and I reach out to brush a strand of hair away from his face.
He stirs, his eyes fluttering open, and a smile tugs at his lips when he sees me watching him.
“Good morning, beautiful.” He murmurs, his voice husky with sleep.
“Good morning, handsome.” I reply, my voice filled with warmth. “Did you sleep well?”
He stretches lazily, his movements causing the sheets to rustle. “I did, especially with you by my side.” He leans in to press a gentle kiss on my forehead. “How about you?”
“I slept like a dream.” I reply, a contented smile spreading across my face. “Being wrapped in your arms always brings me peace.”
We lie there for a few moments, simply enjoying the comfort of each other’s presence. The events of the previous night, our shared intimacy beneath the moonlit sky, still linger in the air like a sweet fragrance.
Suddenly I recall something from our past and speak, breaking the peaceful silence. “You know earlier when you used to go leaving me alone in the bed and didn’t sleep with me, it hurt me so much.”
His brows crease, and his eyes glint with guilt, listening to my words.
“I was an idiot. I also wanted to sleep with you, but still stopped myself and hurt both of us. I’m so sorry, love.” He apologises, cupping my face.
“No need to apologize, Alexander. I understand the battle you faced with your inner demons. I know that embracing change was an arduous process for you. Throughout your life, you had donned the mask of a monster, pretending to be heartless. Therefore, it took time for you to acknowledge the transformation within yourself.” Upon listening to my words, his eyes fill with gratitude.
“Thank you for being so understanding and giving me a second chance to prove how much I love you.” He kisses me softly and adds, “And thank you for making me meet myself. I have never been so happy before in my life. You’re an angel for me.”
“I just remember I forgot to give you something, Alice.” He suddenly speaks, rising from the bed, and I catch a perfect glimpse of his bare buttocks as he walks to the sofa.
It’s so adorable and hot at the same time.
He takes something out of his coat pocket, and I admired my naked partner.
As he turns around, I notice his erection and blush, feeling a familiar sensation between my legs.
Oh God, I’ll never get enough of him. I crave him to enter inside me once again.
He returns to me with a smile on his face and sits beside me under the blanket.
I struggle to control my inner desires for a while.
“Alice, you always make me forget everything. I wanted to give you this yesterday, but I forgot. You truly have a magical effect on me.” He chuckles, showing me a small box in his hand.
Now I’m excited to see what he got for me.
He opens the box and reveals a beautiful ‘AA’ pendant.
“A for Alice and Alexander. We complete each other, just like this pendant.” He whispers, staring at me.
“Alexander, it’s beautiful.” I utter, caressing the pendant he holds in his hand.
“It looks even more beautiful when you wear it, love!” He murmurs with profound love in his eyes.
I turn around, allowing him to put the pendant on me.
He sweeps my hair to one side, and I shiver as I feel his cool fingers against my bare skin. I close my eyes, lost in his touch as he places the pendant around my neck. Once he finishes, he kisses my head from behind, bringing a smile to my face.
As I play with the pendant, gazing at it, something clicks in my mind.
I turn around. “It looks so expensive, Alexander. I’m not used to wearing expensive things, you know.”
He lets out a soft chuckle and brushes a strand of hair away from my face. “Alice, don’t bother, I’m your billionaire boyfriend.” He winks at me and continues, “And you deserve all the beautiful and luxurious things in the world. You bring so much joy and love into my life, and this pendant is just a small token of my affection for you.”
“But it feels like too much.” I protest, feeling overwhelmed by the lavish gift.
He takes my hand in his. “I understand, but you don’t have to worry about that. It’s not about the price; it’s about what it represents. This pendant symbolizes our connection and love for each other. It’s priceless to me.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
His words touch my heart, and I feel the warmth of his love enveloping me. “Thank you, Alexander.” I whisper, tears welling up in my eyes. “I love you so much.”
He pulls me closer and gently wipes away a tear. “I love you too, Alice.” He whispers. “And I want you to know that I’ll always cherish you and do whatever I can to make you happy.”
As we sit here, wrapped in each other’s arms, I am struck by how much Alexander has changed. It feels like a dream come true the way he treats me like a queen and showers me with his unwavering love.
