Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Albert had been living with Xenia recently to provide better care for the “baby” growing in her belly. He had also become remarkably accommodating toward her needs. [Everytime I go to the bathroom, he’d worry that I might accidentally give birth in the toilet.] Xenia texted Stella.
