[ Darius ]“Please, save our baby.”These words kept ringing into my ears as I anxiously tapped my feet on the tiled floor of the hospital corridor, continuously praying the Almighty to keep my babies and Madeline out of danger but her words pushed me in a web of confusion.Why did she refer the babied as ‘our’ babies?They are my babies, it’s true but they’re not blood related to her. The more I recall her words, the more I was desperate to seek my answers. Only Madeline can answer me.“Damien, she’ll be fine. You have to keep faith.” Giselle, who insisted to come to the hospital with me saying she is a local and she knows the place better than anyone else. Miguel also provided security and privacy for us so the news won’t leak in the public.I requested him to handle the guests who witnessed the whole scene. I don’t want this news to reach to my city and to my family or my enemies.Half an hour later, the team of doctors who were treating her, came out. I rushed to them. My heartbea

[ Madeline ]I was sulking with jealousy as I watched Damien and Ava dancing together on a romantic song played by the band. Ava insisted Damien in front of everyone for a dance and he couldn’t deny her continuous pestering. He had to give in and now, it was taking every ounce of self patience for me to not show my jealousy on my face but I failed eventually.“You can still fight back if you still love him, Madeline.” Mrs. Ramirez said to me and I turned my face to my left side.My host gave me wink and sipped her wine.“Giselle, it’s not easy. Two years ago, when we divorced, if I hadn’t left the city, the media, the rich families, they wouldn’t have let me live peacefully. Damien’s parents made my life a hell. I am not ready to go through the same trauma again.” I shook my head and sipped my apple juice.“I understand, dear but will you be able to live seeing your man with another woman? He doesn’t love her. It’s written all over his face, even a child can tell this. In fact, he can

[ Madeline ]I didn’t know how to react because the look on her face clearly told that she knew it for a long time. I threw a glance at Damien whose face was same as mine.“Don’t be frightened, I am not going to tell this to anyone since it’s your private matter but I advise you to take care of yourself and be more cautious if you don’t want anyone to know about your pregnancy.” She said.“Thank you, Mrs. Vance for understanding. I really appreciate your sincerity that you kept it to yourself. You are right, soon people will know eventually so I am planning to quit in a month.” I told her about my initial plans and immediately, Damien’s eyes shifted on me.“I would not advise you to quit, Madeline. You can continue working because you are very passionate and I have seen your potentials. There are hundreds of new recruits but they work for years to reach at your position. You earned it by your hard work and innovative ideas.” She advised me but I wish I could tell her that the baby’s f

[ Madeline ]“It’s a deal, Mr. Rosewood.” Mr. Ramirez signed the contract agreement.“It’s a deal, Mr, Ramirez. We’re officially business partners now.” Damien signed the contract agreement and the men shook their hands.We all applauded for our successful meeting which fruited into a deal. I was feeling happier than anyone else because I did hard work of days and sleepless nights to make it work and it’ll be one of the mega projects done by Rosewoods.“This time is for celebration, Mr. Rosewood. Please, don’t deny me. I want to treat our hardworking teams and they deserve it.” Mr. Ramirez insisted. I observed one thing about him that he is totally a party man who knows how to enjoy his life.“Sure, Mr. Ramirez, I won’t deny this time.” Damien said.“We’re friends now Damien, you can call me Miguel.” Mr. Ramirez said.“Miguel, we’re your guests whenever you want to throw the party but make it fast because Mrs. Vance is leaving tomorrow and I’d be sad if I she misses the celebration be

[ Damien ]I couldn’t hold my happiness. Madeline finally agreed to give me another chance and it didn’t feel less than a dream.I made a promise to her that I’ll love her more than before and I will live to my words.“Damien, where the hell have you been with that woman?” Ava’s harsh voice rang into my ears and I was pulled back into the present from my exciting thoughts.I looked up from the ground only to find Ava standing in front of me with a red face, her eyes were shooting daggers at me.“I was at Mr. Ramirez’s party with Madeline which went on till midnight so we stayed at their house because it is quite dangerous at midnight for the tourists.She scoffed and marched towards me, “Stop lying! I know you were with that woman. What’s going on, Damien? I want to know the truth today.” She demanded and I know it was going to be hard for me to handle her.“Let’s talk in our room, Ava. Everyone is watching us so don’t create a scene here.” I whispered yelled at her as the passing by

[ Madeline ]The next day, awkwardness came back with the rays of the sun. The euphoria was gone. I had to live in the reality but I wouldn’t deny that he made me feel alive after years. I slept peacefully after uncountable sleepless nights which used to be filled with agony and anxiety.I wore the clothes which were sent by Mrs. Ramirez and I was thankful to her that she picked a full sleeved top and skirt which hid my hickeys that he gave on my cleavage.“Are you ready to leave? Mr. Ramirez and his wife asked me for a breakfast but I apologized to them saying our team is waiting for us.” Damien asked ushering his way into my room.“Hmm.” I glanced at him and wore my watch.“Are you mad at me?” He asked, a frown was itched on his face as he walked close to me and I collected all my stuffs back into my clutch.“No, why do you think like that?” I asked being unobvious of his expressions because I was too busy in applying my lipstick.“I thought you regretted what happened last night.”
