His mind raced back to the night they had met, the spark of connection, and the ache of longing that had stirred within him. “I… I think I do,” he said slowly, as memories flooded back with their conversation, the laughter, the unspoken bond that had formed between them, even if just for a moment.

“Wow, small world,” Rachel remarked, a teasing glint in her eye. “ I think she's new here? Because I have never seen her, it's my first time.”

Damien was too lost in thought to respond. He watched Blaire as she interacted with customers, her movements and confidence. She looked happy, engrossed in her work, and a pang of disappointment settled in his chest.

“Damien, are you okay?” Rachel asked, noting the way his eyes remained fixed on Blaire.

“Yeah,” he replied, but his voice lacked conviction. “I just… I didn’t know she worked here. I’ve been wondering about her since that night, I helped her.”

Rachel raised an eyebrow, clearly amazed. “You like her, don’t you?”

“Like? I barely know her!”

    A waiter hurried to fetch a first-aid kit, but Damien couldn’t shake the feeling of helplessness. Just as the first aid staff arrived, he glanced at Blaire’s face, pale and still. “Please, just wake up,” he murmured, his heart aching with worry. A few minutes felt like hours before the medical team finally came. They assessed the situation quickly, stabilising Blaire and placing her on a stretcher. “We need to get her out of here,” one of the nurses said, urgency in their voice.“I’ll take her to the hospital,” Damien insisted, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Just help me get her there!”As they wheeled her out, the scene drew attention. When people recognised it was Damien Smith, there were gasps and whispers of patrons, phones being pulled out to capture the moment. Some videos were shared online with hashtags like #HeroicRescue and #ConcernedCitizen, while others focused on the strange nature of the incident.“Damien!” Rachel called as she rushed to where he was, her eyes

    She turned to the nurse who was beside her bed, insisting she couldn't have the child because she was not ready. “ Nurse, I can't have this child, he doesn't even have a father. Please, I want an abortion.”The room fell silent as Blaire's words hung in the air. Rachel's expression shifted from concern to shock, and the nurse, who had been quietly observing, took a step closer to Blaire’s bedside.“Blaire,” Rachel began gently, her voice laced with compassion, “I know this is overwhelming. Finding out like this… it’s a lot. But are you sure you want to make a decision so quickly? I mean this is a big decision.”Blaire’s eyes filled with fresh tears, and she clenched her fists, her whole body tense. “No I… I can’t do this, Rachel. I’ve struggled my entire life. I don’t even know if I have the strength to raise a child on my own.”The nurse cleared her throat softly, sensing the conflict in Blaire’s eyes. “Blaire, it’s okay to feel scared, especially when you’ve been given unexpected

    Damien gripped his jaw. “That’s not what it was. I only tried to help her. She’s just…” He searched for the right words, but the memory of Blaire’s pained expression flashed in his mind, and he felt a pang of guilt. “She’s… complicated,” he finally admitted. "She has issues, and I tried to help her once, but she… took it the wrong way."Rachel studied his face, her silence more probing than any words. “Took it the wrong way? What are you talking about?.”Damien let out a frustrated sigh. “I don’t… really know how to explain this right now ,” he said. He could feel Rachel’s eyes on him, and he knew she didn’t buy it either.“ Well I have been offering her assistance and bumping into her on a few occasions, I guess she became emotional, and thought I had feelings for her.” “Damien, if you didn’t feel something, you wouldn’t have reacted that way at the restaurant,” Rachel pointed out gently. “You’ve always prided yourself on being practical, on not getting involved. Yet here you are,

    She looked down, a faint frown creasing her brow. “ As you can see, I'm alright. You didn’t make anything harder for yourself by waiting. I have gotten over everything. It’s just… life, I guess.” She gave a half-hearted shrug, but he could see the weight of her struggles pressing down on her.“ I am not even talking about our past. I warned you to get a better job and you did. You did well and you're going to have a family soon. How about the father?,” he began, feeling his own discomfort grow, “but if you don't want to share, I don't mind. I'm here to help.”Blaire’s eyes flickered with a hint of disbelief, and she let out a shaky breath. “Why, though? Why help me…? Why pretend to be good?”She trailed off, and he could see the uncertainty in her gaze, as if she couldn’t believe he would want to be there for her without a hidden motive.“Because I want to,” he said softly, surprised by the truth in his own words. “Because… I think you deserve better than what life’s handed you.”For

    Damien nodded, slipping his phone back into his pocket. “You don’t have to go through this alone, Blaire,” he said quietly, almost as if he were speaking to himself as much as to her. “If your mother’s sick and you’re… dealing with everything else, then maybe you should let someone in.”A faint smile crossed Blaire’s lips, though it was tinged with sadness. “I appreciate what you’re saying, Damien, but I’ve spent my whole life learning to rely on myself. People don’t always stay. They have their own lives, their own priorities.”He didn’t respond immediately, and instead watched her with a pensive expression. Blaire sensed the tension between them, a space filled with words unspoken and feelings left unacknowledged. For a moment, it felt like the world outside of that hospital room had disappeared, leaving only the two of them suspended in the quiet stillness.Finally, Damien spoke, his voice softer than before. “Maybe… maybe it’s time to let someone help.”Blaire felt her heart skip

    Once they were out of sight, Blaire took a deep breath, letting the silence settle around her. She’d thought she could handle this on her own, yet the prospect of returning to her life, with all its complications, suddenly felt daunting.She was distracted by the nurse, who was examining her. " you're fine and your baby is fine too." the nurse said with a comforting smile. Blaire nodded, her expression cold and her heart pounding as she asked to speak with the doctor privately. Soon, she found herself seated across from Dr. Jensen, the same doctor who had gently spoken to her.“Dr. Jensen,” she began, struggling to find the right words. “I… I know I said I’d take some time to think things through and go for counselling, but… I’ve made up my mind.”The doctor’s kind eyes regarded her with understanding. “I’m here to listen, Blaire. Whatever decision you make, it’s yours alone, and we’ll respect that. But please, you shouldn't have left your ward without assistance.”Blaire took a de

    Damien also managed to get to his room after apologising to Mr. Harold. Just when he sat on the sofa, his phone buzzed. He glanced down at the screen, and it was Gina who was calling.He hesitated for a moment before answering, half-expecting Gina to launch into her polished chatter. But to his surprise, Gina’s tone was lighter, even somewhat pleased.“Damien! I saw the news,” Gina began, her voice laced with a hint of admiration. “Videos of your little rescue acts are everywhere. I just watched one, and... you know what? I’m actually proud of you. I know you probably didn’t mean for it to go public, but I think it shows you have a good heart.”Damien felt a flicker of surprise at Gina’s words. It wasn’t like her to praise his actions, especially ones that seemed impulsive or selfless. “You... really think so?” he replied cautiously.“Yes, I do. I mean, going out of your way for someone in need and it’s admirable. It gives you a... I don’t know, a more grounded image. It’s almost like

    Blaire sat back, her mind churning. She’d heard what she needed to hear, but nothing could sway her resolve. This wasn’t about what anyone else thought. She knew what she had to do. She stood, giving the counsellor a polite nod. “ I'm ready to take a chance. Thank you for listening,” she said quietly.As she left the room, a heavy feeling settled over her. Every step down the hallway echoed with the weight of her decision, each one harder than the last.Once she reached the exit, she pulled out her phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialled her mother’s number. The phone rang a few times before her mother’s familiar voice answered, warm and calming, like a balm to her frayed nerves.“Blaire? Is everything okay?” her mother’s concern was immediate.“Yeah, Mom… I just…” Blaire struggled to keep her voice steady. “I wanted to tell you something important.… I… I’m pregnant.”A pause filled the line, followed by a soft sigh. “Blaire,” her mother’s voice was thick with emotion. “I

    Harold was silent, his gaze flickering between Damien, Blaire, and the baby. Rachel stepped forward, her voice gentle but firm.“Dad,” she said, “this isn’t about business or reputation. This is about love. Isn’t that what family is supposed to be about?”For a moment, the room was filled with tense silence. Then, without a word, Harold turned and walked away, leaving them standing in the foyer.Damien let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. He turned to Blaire and Rachel, a determined look on his face.“No matter what, we’ll be okay,” he said. “We have each other.”Blaire smiled, her heart swelling with love and gratitude.

    The evening was still, with only the faint sound of the wind brushing against the windows. Blaire sat on the couch, her hands clutching her phone tightly. She had tried calling Damien countless times, each attempt met with silence. Her heart sank deeper with every unanswered call, and the weight of regret pressed heavily on her chest.Her pacing filled the room with restless energy, her thoughts racing. “What if I’ve lost him for good?” she whispered to herself, her voice quivering.Mrs Taylor, sensing her daughter’s turmoil, stepped into the room. “Blaire,” she began gently, “you need to calm down. He just needs time. Damien loves you. I saw it in his eyes the day he held your daughter.”Blaire shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. “But what if he doesn’t come back, Mom? What if he decides this is too much?”Mrs Taylor placed a comforting hand on Blaire’s shoulder. “He’s a good man, Blaire. He’ll come around. You just need to have faith.”Despite her mother’s words, Blaire’s he

    The evening was serene, the golden hues of the setting sun casting a warm glow through the windows of Blaire’s small apartment. Mrs Taylor sat at the dining table, cradling her grandchild with a tender smile as Blaire moved around the kitchen, tidying up and preparing a light dinner.“Blaire,” Mrs Taylor began, her voice soft but firm. “You’ve done so much for your daughter. You’ve given her everything she needs. But don’t you think it’s time to be honest? To tell Damien the truth?”Blaire froze, her hands trembling slightly as she placed a dish on the counter. She had been dreading this conversation, even though she knew it was inevitable.“I... I don’t know if it’s the right time,” Blaire admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “What if he doesn’t believe me? What if he thinks I’m trying to use him?”Mrs Taylor shook her head, rocking the baby gently. “He deserves to know, Blaire. And you deserve to live without this weight on your shoulders. He loves you—anyone can see that. Yo

    The air in Blaire’s apartment was thick with warmth and joy, the kind that only a newborn could bring. Her daughter, wrapped in a soft pink blanket, lay cradled in Blaire’s arms, her tiny fingers curling around Blaire’s thumb. It was as if all the struggles, heartache, and fear of the past months had melted away, leaving behind only love and hope.Maria, Blaire’s mother, hovered nearby, her eyes glistening with happy tears as she handed Blaire a glass of water. “You’ve been through so much, my dear. Seeing you like this, with her—it’s a blessing.”Damien stood close, his hand resting protectively on the back of the couch where Blaire sat. He looked down at his daughter with awe, his piercing blue eyes softening in a way no one had seen before.“She’s perfect,” Damien said, his voice thick with emotion. “Just like her mother.”Blaire glanced up at him, her heart swelling. Their journey to this moment had been anything but easy. From their unlikely connection to the trials that had test

  • A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH    Getting to the root of it all.

    Rachel sat on her bed, staring at the glowing screen of her phone. The posts, the comments, the endless judgement—it was all too much. The photos of her and Marcus were everywhere, plastered across gossip sites and social media platforms. The caption stung more than the images: "Rachel Smith disgraces the Smith name—caught with a low-class lover."She tossed her phone onto the bed, pulling her knees to her chest as tears streamed down her face. Her father’s harsh words echoed in her mind, but she pushed them away. She didn’t regret standing up for herself or her love for Marcus. But the weight of the public humiliation was more than she had anticipated.A soft buzz from her phone interrupted her thoughts. She grabbed it, her heart lifting slightly when she saw Marcus’s name on the screen.“Rachel?” Marcus’s voice was gentle, filled with concern.“Marcus,” she replied, her voice trembling.“I saw everything,” he said. “Are you okay?”Rachel swallowed hard. “I don’t know. It’s just...

    Gina sat at her opulent vanity, her fingers drumming against the polished wood as she stared at the photos the watcher had sent. The images of Rachel laughing and leaning into Marcus screamed intimacy. In another, Marcus held her hand, his expression tender.Gina’s lips curled into a malicious smile. “So Rachel thinks she can play the hero, aiding Damien while sneaking around with someone beneath her status. Let’s see how the Smith family handles this scandal.”She called the watcher. “Upload the pictures,” she ordered coldly. “Use a burner account and make it salacious. Make sure it spreads like wildfire.”The watcher hesitated for a second. “What caption should I use?”Gina’s eyes gleamed with malice. “Write this: ‘The mighty Smiths are crumbling—Rachel Smith caught sneaking around with a man far below her class. Does this family have any dignity left?’ Add a hashtag: #SmithScandal.”“Consider it done,” the watcher replied.Within moments, the photos were posted, and the internet de

    The next day, the mansion was eerily quiet as Rachel slipped out unnoticed, her heart pounding. She had grown accustomed to sneaking away to meet Marcus, but today was different. She wasn’t just meeting her lover—she was also visiting Blaire, someone she felt a strange yet undeniable connection with. Blaire had become a confidante in a way no one else could, someone who understood the weight of defying Harold Smith.Rachel arrived at Blaire’s modest apartment just as Damien was stepping out. “Perfect timing,” he said with a warm smile. “I need to run a quick errand. Rachel, you’re in charge until I’m back.”Rachel rolled her eyes playfully. “Got it, boss.”Once inside, Blaire greeted her with a warm hug. “It’s so good to see you. You look like you’ve got something on your mind.”Rachel sighed, sinking into the couch. “It’s my father. He’s relentless, Blaire. I can’t even breathe without him questioning my every move. And then there’s Marcus…” She trailed off, her cheeks coloring.Blai

    Rachel Smith stepped out of the sleek black car in a quiet corner of the city, her heart pounding with anticipation. She glanced over her shoulder to ensure none of her father’s spies had followed her. Satisfied she wasn’t being watched, she adjusted her sunglasses and walked briskly toward the cozy apartment complex where Marcus lived.When she reached the door, she hesitated for a moment before knocking. Almost immediately, the door opened to reveal Marcus, his warm brown eyes lighting up as he saw her.“Rachel,” he said softly, pulling her into the apartment and shutting the door behind her. “I didn’t expect you today.”“I had to come,” she said, her voice trembling. “I couldn’t wait any longer.”Marcus cupped her face in his hands, searching her eyes. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”Rachel shook her head, a weak smile playing on her lips. “No, nothing new. I’m just... tired, Marcus. Tired of hiding, tired of sneaking around like we’re doing something wrong.”Marcus sighed, b
