"So tell me, what exactly happened between the two of you?" Tara asks as they both sat down on the couch.
"He found out about it. Everything. He showed up in front of my house and confronted me" Amelia explains.
While Amelia was explaining everything to Tara, Damian on the other hand, was busy organizing his mansion with the help of his butler and maids. He was organizing it so that it will be comfortable for future use.
"Sire, where should I put this?" Damian's butler asks and shows him a picture of him and a girl smiling happily.
Damian looks at the picture coldly before saying, "Throw it away"
The butler immediately excuses himself and exited the room.
While the butler walks down the long hallway of the house, he hears the maids gossiping.
"Why do you think the master suddenly asks us to prepare a room for a guest?"
"I don't know. But it looks like the guest is a girl"
"Could it be his ex?"
"Ugh, I don't wanna see her. She's so arrogant and selfish. No wonder the master dumped her"
"I know right, she doesn't belong with our master"
"I don't think it's her. It's someone else. The master also told us to be careful when the guest arrives since she's pregnant"
"Oh my?"
The butler who can't take the gossiping of the maids anymore suddenly faked a cough. "Ehem!"
The maids look at his direction and saw the strict butler who had been working for Damian since he was a kid.
"Do you think the master pays you to gossip? Get back to work" he said in a firm tone which scared the maids.
"We're sorry," they said and bowed to him before running away from the scene.
"Goodness," the butler says and massages his temple. He looks at the picture of the former madam and his master. 'What is the master thinking?' he thought.
Damian signs a signature on the paper in front of him. He lifts the paper and signed the other one on the back. He looks at the mountain of paper in front of him and sighs. After working for a few hours, he decided to take a break so he lifts his phone and calls Amelia.
"Hello? Who is this?" Amelia asks sweetly.
"It's me," Damian says.
"O-oh"
Damian chuckles and thought 'That's quite a change in attitude'
"I just wanted to make sure you're alright. Did you vomit a lot today?" He asks and leans back.
"No. I didn't. The only thing that makes me vomit is eggs" Amelia says.
"I see," Damian says. 'Eggs. I'll remember it' he said in his mind.
"Also, avoid tiring activities. Don't run as you did before"
Amelia felt flush after remembering the time when she ran away when she saw him at the hospital.
"I-I understand," she said stuttering.
"Good" Damian looks at the clock and realizes that it was already so late.
"Go to sleep. Don't stay up late. It's bad for the baby"
"Okay," Amelia answers. "Y-You should go to sleep as well," she said and hesitated at the beginning.
Damian unconsciously smiles at what she said. "I will. Just have to finish some things"
"Ok. Bye. Goodnight" Amelia says.
"Sweet dreams, Amelia," Damian says and hung up the phone.
Amelia looks at her phone and was left speechless for a few seconds. 'Sweet dreams, he said'. She felt the loud thumping of her heart. It was as if her heart was about to burst. She touches her chest in the hope of calming her loud heart. 'My heart, stop. You don't need to be like that, it's just a simple phone call' she said in her mind.
'That's right. I have to sleep. I have to go to school tomorrow after all' she thought and laid down on her bed.
Once again, she touches her chest and felt the loud beating of her heart. Who knew her heart would act like this by just one phone call with Damian. 'Why do you keep making my heart waver?' she thought.
On the other side, Damian leans back and laid down his phone on the table. He remembers her hesitant voice when she said 'You should go to sleep as well'. He chuckles and thought 'Cute'.
After a few minutes of resting, he got back to work and took a document from the big pile in front of him.
He grabs the telephone in front of him and called for the butler. After a few minutes, the butler immediately comes in and bowed to him.
"Is there anything you need, sire?" He asks.
"Arrange another room. If you can, renovate the guest room and add a door so it connects to the room beside it" Damian ordered.
"What is the room for, sire?" The butler asks.
"A nursery room," Damian says shortly.
The butler's eyes widened and he was frozen on the spot. Damian notices the shocked butler. "What? You can go now" he says and returned his eyes to the papers in front of him.
The butler recovered and quickly exited the Master's study room. 'A nursery room? It must be true then' he thought. He quickly erased the nasty thought inside his head and quickly got back to work in his dignified manner.
Amelia got up from the bed and did her usual morning routine. Afterward, she went downstairs to eat breakfast."Good morning sweetie" her mother greeted her."Where's dad?" Amelia asks."He went to work earlier than usual. He had an important meeting"Amelia sat down and ate the breakfast her mother prepared for her. She felt relieved to see that there were no eggs today so she didn't need to pretend to not be sick.After eating, Amelia immediately went to her room and secretly ate the pills that Damian bought for her. After that, she fixed her bag for school and left the house.While walking, she felt Tara's arms around her neck. "Liaaaaa~" her friend cheerfully said."Tara, be careful"Tara remembers that her friend was now a pregnant woman so she immediately let's go and apologized to her. "Sorry. I forgot" she said."It's okay," Amelia says and pats Tara's head.Tara, then, linked arms with Amelia as she felt it's the most the safest thing to do while still being affectionate."By
A few days passed and school ended. Amelia told her parents that she accepted the internship from the company."Are you really sure about this?" Her mother asks."Yes""Be careful, okay?" Her father reminded her.Amelia nodded as a reply and continues to pack her things. After packing, she went downstairs and saw Damian waiting for her."You ready?" He asks."Hm" Amelia replied and nodded."Let's go" Damian took the luggage Amelia was holding and they went to the car.Her parents were sad to see their daughter off. They didn't want her to intern but if it's for the sake of their daughter, they are willing to do anything.While driving, Damian notices the sad expression on Amelia's face. "What's wrong?" He asks.Amelia looks at him, "huh?" She asks before realizing what he meant."I just feel bad. For lying" she said while looking down on her restless hands."Would you rather tell them, then?" He asked."That-" she said and cuts herself off. There is no way she could ever tell them that
Helga opened the door and it revealed the huge dining table with Damian sitting at the head of it. Damian looks at her and smiled. "I've been waiting for you. Sit" he said and patted the chair beside him.Amelia walks towards the table and sat down at the chair beside him. "How do you like your room?" He asked."It's beauti-" Amelia stopped when she smelled the disgusting smell of egg. "Bleugh!" She starts to gag so she covered her mouth to prevent herself from vomiting."Master, here, a bucket!" The maids shouted and gave him a bucket. He took it and quickly placed it in front of her. "Amelia, vomit. Just let it go" he said. Amelia then vomited in the bucket.While she vomits, Damian caresses Amelia's back. "I'm sorry. I forgot to tell the chef about eggs"Amelia wiped her lips with a napkin after vomiting. Helga gave her a glass of water and she took it. After drinking the water she smiles at Damian. "It's okay. I'm sorry to have ruin your appetite" Amelia says while smiling gently.
It was midnight at Damian's mansion when Amelia suddenly woke up, feeling hungry."Hmm," she moaned. She was immediately surrounded by darkness when she opened her eyes.She slowly stood up and walked without seeing anything until her foot hit the feet of a chair. "Ouch!" She reflexively touches her foot and massaged it."That hurt," she said to herself. Amelia continued to walk forward until she felt the switch of the lights in her hands and clicked it.Now that the lights are opened, she was able to see her room clearly. 'I was too distracted earlier but now that I see this room clearly, it's too big' she thought and looked around the palace style bedroom that the butler prepared for her.Amelia hears her stomach rumbling once again so she quietly leaves her room. 'Where is the kitchen?' she asked in her mind while walking. She didn't consider calling the maids since they should be sleeping this late at night and she would just be a bother to them.Amelia looks around and saw a room
Amelia looks at Damian who is busy working while eating her fries dipped in ice cream.'Handsome' she thought but blushed when she realizes what she just said in her mind.Damian suddenly remembers something and opens the drawer in his table. He pulls something from it and places it on top of his table.Just when he was about to call Amelia, she calls his name. "Mr. Damian," she said while fidgeting."Just call me Damian," He says before adding, "What is it?""W-what do you plan on doing once I give birth?" Amelia asks. Although nervous, she mustered up the courage to ask him."I was about to say it to you," Damian says and picks up the small box. He stood up and sat in front of her."Here," he said as he handed the box to her. Amelia took it and as she opens it, what was inside the box was a ring."What is this for?" She asks, getting straight to the point."It's an engagement ring. From now on, I'll be introducing you as my fiancée" Damian said with his legs crossed and his back lean
Amelia woke up with the light from the window staining her face.She sits up and saw Helga and Maisy fixing her clothes. They noticed that Amelia woke up and smiled."Young madam, you're awake," Helga said."Young madam, your eyes are swollen," Maisy said with a worried look on her face."Oh my, Maisy, go get the ice pack," Helga said, now noticing Amelia's very swollen eyes.Amelia touched her eye, "is it that bad?" She asks."Very!" Helga and Maisy said in unison.Amelia stood up and walked to the vanity. She saw her bloodshot eyes that looked as if she didn't sleep for days."Oh no," she whispered to herself."A-am I having breakfast with him?" Amelia asks.The two maids looked at each other before looking at Amelia again."Of course, young madam" Maisy said."U-um. Can I have my breakfast in my room?""If the young madam wants to then, of course, you can," Helga said and smiled.Damian was, as always, busy with work when someone knocked on the door of his study. "Come in," he said
Amelia closes the door of her bedroom and walked to the main entrance of the mansion. There, she saw Damian waiting while leaning on the side of his car.Damian noticed her and stared at her. Amelia's yellow dress made her beauty stand out even more. Her snow-white skin looked as if it was glowing and her clear sunset eyes reflected Damian who is in front of her. Damian looks at her slowly walking towards him."Hi," Amelia said with a meek voice as she's feeling shy."You look beautiful" Damian's compliment made Amelia blush. Her cheeks and ears were red and she looked away to avoid his burning gaze."T-thank you," she says.Damian opens the door of the passenger seat for her. After seating on the driver's seat, Damian closes the door."Seatbelt," he said calmly.Amelia wrapped the seatbelt around her and locked it."Where are we going?" Amelia asks."You'll see when we get there," Damian said.After a few minutes, they arrived at the restaurant. It was a restaurant owned by one of Da
Amelia woke up after hearing Damian's call. She looks at him whose hand was on her shoulder."We're here," Damian said. He already opened the door when he woke her up."Hmm" Amelia answered. She stood up but felt dizzy so she staggered and quickly held onto the door of the car. Damian immediately helped her by holding her shoulders."Are you okay?" He asked. Amelia felt weak and instead of talking, she only managed to nod.Damian notices her pale face. He picked her up and carried her like a bride. Amelia didn't care anymore. She was feeling sick so she couldn't refuse him. Amelia rested her head on Damian's chiseled chest. She felt comfortable and without knowing it, she fell asleep.Damian looks at Amelia while walking towards her room. She was already sleeping with a peaceful expression on her face. For a moment, Damian felt something. Looking at her relaxed face, a curve formed on his lips."You're too defenseless" He whispered and stared meaningfully at Amelia.Damian laid Amelia
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
