The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapter 72: A Celebration, Some Sad News, And Reconciliation.

A few weeks later, Alex and I celebrated that we had secured a major sponsorship for our ocean restoration project. The new management of the Indonesian Conglomerate of Hope has promised a large sum of money to undo the damage caused by their former CEO, Elaine Orchard, who has died mysteriously. Hearing this makes me relieved. I feel guilty for killing the remaining members of the Monocle Conspiracy, without giving them a chance to repent for their crimes. Knowing that something good came out of this disaster made me feel better about myself, even though it was something I always had to live with.

“Check for us! " I said as we drank some really delicious French champagne at the lovely fancy restaurant where we celebrated.

"You made all this possible" Alex replied.

'In some ways' I thought, but I decided not to reveal my role in the death of Elaine Orchard, so I instead said, “I started this movement, but this victory is yours. You've done a brilliant job these past few weeks. " "Thank you, Sabina, " said Alex and started chewing blue cheese and pear cookies. I sensed something was bothering him, but I didn't want to ask, and there was no way for me to know anymore.

We had a delicious meal, but Alex was mostly quiet throughout the night. Finally, I decided to ask. “Is everything okay? I think tonight is a celebration night. "

“It is, but I received this letter s earlier, and I have been too nervous about opening them, ” replied Alex.

He handed me the letters. One of them is from Alex's father's test for Sabina. The other envelope came from her fertility test. "Do you want me to open a letter for you?" I asked.

“Yes, I was too nervous about doing that, ” Alex replied.

I opened the letters, and they confirmed what I already knew. Alex is barren, and he's not Keila's father. " I'm sorry, Alex," I said, handing him the letters.

He looked at the letters sighing and replied. "No problem. I think it's strange that you get pregnant when you're in Kiribati, and I'm afraid Martin Al-Sham will be a father. At least this way, I know I can't have children any other way. ”

I nodded, but I said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Alex spoke again, "But it's a pity that we couldn't give Keila a sibling. "

Alex pondered my statement for a moment and replied, “I guess you were right. Emotional attachment is more important than biological connection. ”

"But let's leave that for the future. I can't wait for Keila to get older so I can sleep well! ” I said and winked at Alex.

“Oh yes, sleep is good. I can't wait to attend the next conference! " Temptation Alex.

“I will definitely come with you. And I'll bring baby Keila too! ” I reply.

"Damn! I just lost the incentive to save the environment! ” Alex exclaims.

“You will find the motivation. Speaking of Keila, we better go home and free Ellen from her babysitting duties. ” I reply.

“Can't we wait another hour? I booked a hotel room upstairs for dessert. ” Alex suggests.

I looked at Alex and smiled. "Yes you're right. I would send a message to my mother and tell her that we would be late. " I said and winked at Alex. After that we paid the bill and went upstairs for an amazing dessert!
