It was the night before the engagement party. Arthur was sitting down on the couch of Damian's study. Amelia had already gone to bed as she was feeling tired and vomited a lot that day.
"Are you sure about doing the engagement party?" Arthur asked as he took a sip from the tea served to him.
"Hm," Damian replied with a slight nod.
"After the engagement party I'm sure some rats would try to harm the child inside of her," Arthur said. The 'rats' that was spoken of was the people who are on very bad terms with Damian. "It's your heir, after all"
They arrived at the venue where the engagement party will take place. Amelia held Damian's arm as they walk towards the entrance. A staff opened the door for them. They entered slowly, pacing themselves. The murmuring crowd stopped and all turned to look at the star of the party. Their eyes wide in surprise as they gossip about Amelia who had a calm gaze as she looks around the room.Damian walks with Amelia towards the stage. A staff handed him a microphone. "Everyone, I appreciate you all for coming today on this very important occasion. Let me introduce you all to my fiancee, Amelia" Damian slowly wrapped his arms around her waist. Amelia smiled gently at the motionless crowd.
Amelia opens her eyes. She felt herself smile after seeing Damian's peacefully sleeping face. She suddenly felt the urge to wrap her arm around his waist. Amelia snuggled to his chest. Somehow, she liked the feeling of waking up with someone by her side. After a few minutes, she got up and went to the bathroom to perform her morning routine. She looks at herself in the bathroom mirror as she gently rubs her stomach. 'It's not noticeable yet' she thought as she stares at her flat tummy.Damian felt the emptiness of the bed beside him. He opens his eyes and finds the empty space beside him where Amelia was sleeping. He got up and walked to the bathroom where he found Amelia staring at the mirror and looking at her stomach. He slowly walks towards her and gently wra
"How long have you been pregnant, Lia?" Calia asked as she took a bite from the cookies that Maisy served them."A month and a half," Amelia answered with a smile."I see" Calia replied.While the two were busy chatting, the butler, along with the other servants were hiding at the side, eavesdropping at their conversation. Because of the distance, they can't hear what they were talking about but they can see by the smile on Amelia's face that it was a pleasant conversation.
Amelia sighed as she sits at the couch in their bedroom. 'What could they be talking about?' she thought. Alfred looked nervous. He was standing by the door and keeping watch on Amelia.The door opened and Damian walks in with an irritated expression painted on his face. "You may go now, Alfred," Damian said. Alfred nodded and left the bedroom, leaving the couple alone."What happened? Did Calia leave?" Amelia asked and stood up to walk towards Damian.Damian smiled tenderly before patting Amelia on the head. "Yes. She said to tell you that she's sorry" Dam
Amelia stares at the ceiling of their bedroom as she stayed laying down on the bed. Damian was still asleep beside her with his arm placed on top of her stomach. Amelia turns her body to look at Damian. She moved closer and wrapped her arms around his waist with her face buried on his chest. Damian had slightly woken up and pulled Amelia to him."Good morning" he greeted as he gave a kiss on top of her head. Amelia didn't reply and only nodded her head. Ever since Damian had informed her that Calia was his ex, Amelia had been restless. She couldn't stop thinking about how they were as a couple."We're going to Tamara for a check-up today. Did Alfred told you?" Damian asked.Amelia looks up to him and met his gaze. "Yes. He told me yesterday" she replied.Damian leaned in and gave Amelia a kiss on the lips. It was just a light peck as Damian was trying to limit himself. Amelia stood up and made her way to the bathroom. She looks at herself in the mirror and stares at her tummy which had
Calia opened the door of their home and was greeted by the dark and empty space of the living room. She looks around and sees a ray of light coming from the slightly opened door of the master's bedroom. Calia walks toward the door with her bag in her hand. She pulls it to her shoulders and sighed. Just as she opened the door, a man opened the door and was startled by the sight of the woman in front of him."Oh, you're home," he said as he walks passed by her without even giving a glance."Yes," Calia replied to her husband's indifferent greeting.Aeric Rostell, Calia's husband stared at the back of the tall woman. He had a longing gaze directed to his wife. It has been a long time since they both shared a proper talk with each other. It has also been a long time since Aeric had ever shown a smile to Calia. Their marriage seems to not work anymore, although Aeric had tried his hardest to make their marriage work.Calia looked at Aeric who had a towel wrapp
Damian stared at his sleeping fiancée whose arm was wrapped around his waist. He looked at the time and saw that it was 6 in the morning. Damian carefully removed Amelia's arm before standing up. He fixed the comforter on Amelia before silently leaving the bedroom. As he walks towards his study, he opens his phone and called his secretary."Yes, sir?" His secretary immediately answered."Updates?" Damian shortly asked."Mr. Ivote sent another one, however like what you have ordered, I sent his head to him, along with a love letter this time" Haris quickly reported."Good" Damian praised Haris while thinking that Haris is not a completely useless secretary after all. "Tighten the security around the mansion and Amelia. I can't be with her all the time so make sure no rats can sneak in” Damian added as he opens the door of his study.Damian hangs up before Haris could answer. He walks towards his desk and sat down as he puts his phone do
Damian sat at the swivel chair in front of his desk. His brows were slightly pressed together as it became a habit for him every time he concentrates. The door of his office slowly opened and Haris quietly walked towards him, not making any unnecessary noises. After working with Damian for quite a while, Haris had already learned not to disturb Damian while he is working so intently."Sir" Haris calmly called.Damian looks up to him. "What?" He asks before returning his attention to the document in front of him."I've received notice from Iago that madam Tara had visited the young madam today" Haris reported.Damian stopped. He lifted his face to look at Haris. Damian leans back and crossed his arms. "What about Calia? What is she up to?" Damian asked."Madam Calia is the same as always. But, lately, she seems to be getting along with her husband. They had started to go on dates" Haris replied.Damian brows furrowed. 'Dates? Am I really wron
Amelia looks at the little child beside her. “Are you ready to go on a picnic?” she asked her blonde haired son.“Yes!” Jin replied enthusiastically.“Hey, is everything ready?” Damian said, peeking inside the room where the mother and child were.“Yes, we’re ready!” Jin replied to his mother.“Someone’s very excited” Damian commented and ruffled his son’s hair as they both walk out of the room.Amelia giggled at the sight before closing the door and following behind the two boys. Damian took the bag where Jin’s stuff is from her and held her hand.Jin noticed his parents and decided to hold his mother’s other hand with a big smile on his face.They all walked to where the car was and all entered the back seat with Iago driving for them. Jin couldn’t handle the excitement and decided to tell everyone in the car
Damian paces back and forth by the door inside of the room where Amelia was as she gives birth along with a few midwives to help her. He hadn’t had the courage to walk near her as he felt awkward and unsure of what to do. Even though Amelia was focusing on pushing, she caught her pacing fiancé by the door and she would have laughed at the sight if she wasn’t in labor but instead, she got annoyed.“Damian Castillo, I swear to god if you don’t come here and hold my hand, I will break up with you!” she shouted, not something she was used to doing. It was completely out of character but it was enough to make his anxious fiancé stop his pacing and immediately walk towards her and hold her hand.“There, there,” Amelia said, calming Damian down as she strokes his hands with her thumb, all while she tries her hardest to push like what the midwives tell her.“I’ve never seen someone calming t
Damian walks to the front door of his mansion. He opens the door and Alfred immediately greeted him and took his coat and his tie for him. Damian walks to his room with a smile on his face. He finally arrives, he opens the door and was greeted by a wide smile on Amelia’s face.“Damian! You’re back” she said as she attempted to get up but was immediately stopped by Damian.“Stop, don’t even try to stand up,” he said as he walks towards Amelia to give her a kiss on the forehead.Amelia pouted. “I was shot, not paralyzed” Amelia sighed, knowing that she won’t win against Damian.Amelia exhaled loudly. “I never want to get shot again” she complained which made Damian chuckle.“You better hold on to what you said,” Damian said with a smile as he removes his clothes while walking to the bathroom.“I really will” Amelia muttered silentl
Amelia walks with Damian towards the park that Damian had told her, with their hands intertwined. Damian was carrying the picnic basket that the maids had prepared for them before leaving. He had insisted that they be left alone with only Iago as their guard on their small picnic as they wanted some privacy and because he was certain that they would be safe.After picking a shaded spot on the grass, Damian laid the yellow picnic mat on the grass, then Amelia sat down and pulled the food out of the basket before placing it on the blanket.“It’s quite sunny today,” Amelia said, covering her eyes as she looks at the clouds.“Yes, it’s not really my favorite weather,” Damian said as he sliced a portion of the apple pie that Jack had baked for them and placed it on Amelia’s plate.Amelia gave a small giggle. “Well, you’re very gloomy so of course you’re not going to like sunny weathe
A few hours had passed and Amelia and Damian were already at home, eating their dinner while discussing some things regarding Ivote and Grey.“So, they’re going to be imprisoned right?” Amelia asks, looking at Damian.“Yes, I’ll be making sure they’re going to stay there forever” he replied with an assuring smile.Amelia only nodded before continuing to eat her meal. After a few minutes, the two finished and headed to their room to do their nightly routines. Damian headed first to the bathroom so Amelia decided to open the television to entertain herself while she waited.The news started playing which caused Amelia’s eyebrows to knit together in confusion.“After being accused of attempted murder, embezzlement, tax fraud, bribery, and many more, Mr. Ivote, a known businessman, has now gone into hiding. Police officers are now attempting to locate the criminal and bring him in for qu
“Have you been experiencing cravings yet?” Amelia asked as she takes a bite of the main dish.“Oh yes, my cravings had gotten worse these days. I usually can’t sleep properly because I get sudden cravings” Calia replied after swallowing the food that was in her mouth.“And then she wakes me up to buy her fast food in the middle of the night or at 3 am in the morning” Aeric added with a teasing smile directed to his wife.Calia glared at her husband. “Are you saying I’m a bother?” Aeric immediately tried to appease his angered wife.“Of course not! You’re never a bother to me, darling” Aeric said, placing a kiss on Calia’s cheek, therefore, calming her.Amelia smiles at the two warmly. ‘It’s nice to see Cal being so happy’ she thought to herself.“Don’t worry Cal, I also often bothered Damian in the middle of the
“Will they be sent to prison?” Amelia asked, her head comfortably laying on Damian’s shoulder. They were currently staying in the living room after the detective and the lieutenant had gone.“Of course. They will rot there for the rest of their lives, I will make sure of it” Damian replied, pressing Amelia towards him as he kisses her temple.“By the way, I have to tell you something, but promise me you won’t get mad,” Amelia said, pulling away from his embrace to look at his emerald eyes.“I promise, what is it?” Damian said softly, not knowing what to expect. Although, when it comes to his dear fiancée, he had learned to expect the unexpected.“W-Well, Calia invited me to lunch tomorrow with her husband. She said that she really wanted to introduce me to him” Amelia looks down at her hands, not wanting to meet Damian’s eyes. She was scared of what his reaction wou
Amelia opens her eyes wide in surprise after her dream had ended. She notices Damian was kneeling beside her with his hands close to her face. “Damian?! Why are you not in the hospital? The doctor said you have to stay at least a few more days before you can come home!” Amelia nagged.“Well, I didn’t want to stay at the hospital with you still mad at me” Damian reasoned.Amelia's anger grew and she slapped Damian with all her might on his shoulders. “Why are you so stubborn! Go back to the hospital! I’m not talking to you!” she loudly said before she stood up and walked towards the door. Damian followed closely behind her like a dog following his owner.“I’m sorry, won’t you forgive me?” Damian said, looking like a dejected dog who was scolded.Amelia bit her lip and tried her hardest not to give in. She ignored Damian and went ahead to her room, closing the door on Damian&rsquo
“So, you’re telling me…you knew everything…and yet you decided to risk your life?!” Amelia shouted. It was the first time she ever raised her voice in front of a person.“C-Calm down, my wife,” Damian said as he tries to appease his fiancée’s anger.“Calm down?! You almost got killed because of your plan and you want me to calm down?!” Amelia shouted again. She was a lot more sensitive because she was pregnant.The door opened and Alfred came in with a concerned expression. “Calm down, young madam. The plan was needed in order for them to be imprisoned” the butler exclaimed.“And you are in on this, Mr. Butler?!” Amelia asked loudly.Alfred flinched in surprise. “Y-Yes, young madam. Forgive me for not telling you sooner”Amelia’s mood worsened as she glared at Damian. “I’m going home&r
