CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN

  Achilles'prence in the kitchen made all the chefs and other servants were very self conscious as they worked with him. He had come downstairs to prepare breakfast for Bella so he would serve to her the moment she woke up from sleep. He intensionally skipped his breakfast to stay and prepare Bella's. So far, everything had gone well and he was setting the tray on which he would carry the food.

  None of the servants dared make a sound or worst still, a mistake in his presence because they were all terrified of him.

  When he was done setting up the tray, he lifted it from the kitched island and took out sometime to admire the art he had created before heading out of the kitchen.

  Once he left, the chefs and servants, let out dramatic sighs before rising on auth their chores.

  As Achilles ascended the staircase, there was a wide grin plastered on his lips. He could not wait to see Bella's reaction when she would see him with the tray of food. That moment also made him remember the instance when he has a fight with. Alex in the kitchen over who to make breakfast for Bella. He had thrown away the pancakes Latex had made and broke the jar of juice, spilling the content. He shook his head and smiled as he walked on because he knew what he did that day was preposterous and that if their father was alive, he would've gotten punished servetly for action like a spoiled brat.

  Nevertheless, he was happy that all his actions proved a point to Alex and he had backed don't from wanting to take Bella away from him.

  At his room door, he let out a heavy sigh and dramatically fanned himself with one hand, holding the tray with the other hand. When he was done with his act, he stretched the free hand forward and gently creaked the doorknob for the door to open up. He quietly stepped into the bedroom and eyes roamed around the room and to the bed, where he spotted Bella seat d upright, twisting her eyes with her fingers. She looked like she was juts waking up from bed.

  "Perfect timing!" He mumbled under his breath, smirking as he closed the door behind him and walked over to the sitting area to set the tray down.

  "Good morning." Bella greeted with a cheerful smile once the aroma of the food hit her nostrils. Her empty stomack growled, her mouth watered and her legs threw her out of the bed so she could freshbe up and fee her body already. She could vent hear the baby in her tummy crying of hunger.

  "Good morning my love." Achilles replied with the sweetest smile as he took long strides towards her. When he was closed he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead and took her into his big arms. "How was your night?" He asked softly.

  "It was peaceful."

  "I like that. And how are you feeling this morning?"

  "As to pee." She stated plainly and Achilles burst into laughter, realing her from his big bear hug and pointing over to the toilet. "Go ahead." He urged and she nodded her head adn rushed into the toilet. "You breakfast is here, so make sure to freshen up as well." He shouted from the bedroom and Bella who was then seat d on the toilet pot, emptying her bladder, just smiled.

  She was going to freshen up even if he had not announced. She was starving!

  Achilles made himself comfortable on one of the couches in the sitting area and the book on the table caught his attention. He leaned forward to the table and picked up the book smiling. It was titled "Alpha's Broken Mate". It was a very interesting werewolf book about an eighteen years old girl who was locked up by her father for eighteen years and only released her to see the world on her eighteen birthday. He locked her up because she was a very powerful werewolf and her birth signified the coming of a great battle, called the battle of the elementals.

  He had had a very good time reading that book, it was absolute best, especially the romance and hurdles between the eighteen years old girl and the Alpha who was her mate.

  He was happy Bella lwas interested in the book.

  After several minutes, the bathroom door opened up and Achilles was surprised to see Bella walking out of the bathroom, with juts towel tied around her body.

  "I just felt like bathing." Bella defended with a shrug as she rushed into the walk in closet to put on some.clothes. Achilles sighed in frustration as he manges to tear his eyes off the door and focus on the book before him.

  "She looks hit in anything she wears." He mumbled out of frustration. It took him all his morality and hole training to not go into that closet and make love to her.

  When Bella was done, she left the closet and went to meet A hillesin the bedroom. She didn't even bother sitting on a sofa, she made herself comfortable on the rug and went closer to the table where her food had been kept. Achilles watched her in fascination and laughed.

  "What are you doing?"

  "About to eat." She said picking up the plate from the tray and serving herself.

  "On the floor?"

  "On the rug!" She corrected.

  "It's the same thing!"

  "It's not." She argued. "Leave me alone Achilles." She cried as she began eating her food.

  "Can I join you?"

  "Yes, please."

  "Thank you." He said, taking the same position on the rug as Bella while shaking his head.

  Pregnancy was making her do the most bizarre things.

  "Umm… have you thought of any names for the baby?" He asked out of nowhere and Bella shot him z surprised glance.

  "Names?" She asked shocked and Achilles nodded his head.

  "Yes, names. You are almost due, love, we have to start thinking about names for the child"

  "That really hasn't crossed my mind." She said as she took a bite of her pancake and stared at the blank wall before her. "Well… she slurred. " I don't know …" shrugs her shoulders. "It's going to be a boy, so maybe you should name him, or Diana should, I know she would want to be the one to name him."

  "Yeah, she should. I will talk about it with her."

  "Cool."

  "After breakfast, I'll go show you his nursery."

  "Nursery?" Bella asked shocked. "You already made his nursery?"

  "Yes love. Diana helped me choose the stuff for it. I wanted to surprise you, hop eyou don't mind."

  "Of course I don't. On the contrary, I feel sad. I haven't made any arrangements for his arrival. I'm such a bad mother." She lamented as she set down her plate of food.

  "No you are not. You already carrying him love, that's more than enough work for you. Leave the rest if the work for us."

  "I still want yo be the one to do his shopping."

  "We can go later today if that's what you want."

  "That's what I want." She said giving him her best puppy eyes.

  Achilles smiles as he leaned in and kissed her lips.

  "We are going to do whatever it is you want, as long as it is safe. Now, stop giving me those puppy eyes, they are too cute for me to handle." He spoke calmly and Bella giggled and blushed like a shy teenager who had just been complemented by her crush.

  "Now, you can go back to eating your food " He said, putting the plate of food in her hand.

  Bell smiled and ate on, but as she did that, something crossed her mind. She quickly put her spoon down and looked at Achilles with a blank expression. Her heart throbbing hard in her chest.

  "Something wrong,love?" He asked concerned and she nodded her head.

  "Yeah."

  "What's that?"

  "What if all of this gets over, the other curse gets broken. What if the we find out we are not mates?" She asked with a call voice and pin dropping silence filled the entire room.

  Both Achilles and Diana sat glued to their spot, looking at each other blankly without saying a word.

  Indeed, what if?
