Chapter 4 His Wrath

Lucky's POV

“This is insane!” I growled at the director of the hospital. He’s giving me cash as compensation and it’s even more disappointing.

What kind person does he think of me?

I palmed my forehead in frustration as I swallowed hard. “Who’s the owner of the sperm?”

”Ma’am, he’s our VIP. His identity is confidential–”

”Confidential my ass! You fertilized me with the wrong sperm, Mr. Cowell. I don’t give a damn if he’s a VIP or not. Just tell me who owns this freaking sperm.”

He swallowed hard. “I-It’s Damien Green, Miss Salvador. Please accept our compensation.”

Damien Green?!

My mind was suddenly clouded with curses, confusion and questions.

Of all people, why him?

And… he’s a VIP here? Was he donating or selling his sperm? Or trying to get a baby of his own?

I knew that Damien adored children...

I squeezed my eyes closed as my lips parted. Memories of us promising together came rushing in my mind.

"After we finish our studies, I'll immediately marry you."

I squinted my eyes and looked at Damien. "Ah huh? I think we still have to work for our future family."

He grinned. "Leave it to me. All you need to do is love me and our future children. I want a dozen of kids, Lucresia."

My eyes widened. "A dozen? Are you crazy? I'd look very old and ugly if that happens."

He laughed so hard and kissed my temple. "It doesn't matter. What's important is I love you and you love me. You will marry me and we will live together… forever."

I sucked my breath and blinked numerous times.

Pulling myself from the memory, I want to cry. It was also my dream to give him a baby, but I had already abandoned it after that day.

The day my dad jumped off the building and fell in front of me.

That scene ruined me totally from inside. And I left Damien.

For all these years, I've been trying to avoid him and restart my life, but now, look what happened.

When I was ready to be a happy bride, I caught my fiance cheating.

When I was in the most embarrassing situation., I met the man who was the last one I wanted him to see.

When I dropped marriage and finally got my baby, I mistakenly got the wrong sperm and what was worse, it came from Damien.

I’m carrying my ex’s child.

I smiled wryly. Why does fate always like to tease me so much?

My life is freaking bad...

I chewed my bottom lip and gently caressed my belly. The only way to resolve this problem is to give up on this baby but…

I can’t.

I still remember my feeling when I first knew the baby was in my belly. It's amazing. I can feel our connection and that had nothing to do with the father.

I decided to keep the baby but I'm not going to let Damien know. What if Damien wanted to take the baby from me? I can’t even stand his presence.

I looked at Mr. Cowell. “D-Did he know?”

He slowly shook his head. “We’re… about to tell him.”

No! I gritted my teeth, lifted my chin and took a deep breath. “You don't dare to tell him.”

“Ma’am?”

I bore my sharp eyes at him. “I will sue you if this information comes out, Mr. Cowell. Don’t ever tell Damien Green about this.

"Just keep this between us.” I pushed the compensation back to him, “And you and your hospital could keep the reputation."

I left after I made sure that he’s not gonna tell anyone about this. I knew it seemed not fair for Damien.

But trust me, this is the best choice for both of us.

I entered the elevator while looking at the testing result of my pregnancy again.

Of all people, why Damien Green?

Heaving a sigh, I palmed my aching forehead the same as the elevator door slid open. I didn't know someone's coming so I bumped into someone and literally fell on my knees because of the impact.

"Argh!" I groaned and angrily lifted my face only to gasp and tremble after a pair of familiar eyes looking down at me with judgment.

Damien! Why the hell meeting him again?!

I heard the elevator shut but my mind was focused on the person in front of me.

Wearing a long sleeve buttoned polo, he stood there like an Alpha looking down on his prey.

I felt my lips tremble because of combined emotions that suddenly arise in my heart. I'm having difficulty breathing as he crouched and picked something from the ground.

My testing result!

Before I could act, it was already in his hand. I gasped as he said,

"So, you're pregnant."

No! I heard the alarm in my mind ringing loudly. I can't let him know!

The corner of his lips rose in a mocking grin as his eyes held my gaze intensely.

"From what I’ve seen, you're not on good terms with your boyfriend. And now you're pregnant. Is fate finally charging you for betraying me 12 years ago, Lucresia?"

The way his cold voice called my name, strangely made me sad. Though it was quite ironic, I'm thankful that he mistakenly thought the baby belonged to Peter.

And I thought I needed to get out of here ASAP. To get away from him.

His aura was too strong now, I can not ensure to hide my secrets before him.

"I'm leaving." I'm just so thankful that I managed not to stammer.

He chuckled without humor as his eyes sharpened. "C'mon, Lucresia. Tell me. Are you suffering?"

He grabbed my arms and forced me to face him.

"Because if yes, then I should thank your fate for taking revenge for me."

I pressed my lips together as my heart clenched in pain. I could see the flames of hatred flickering in his eyes.

But he was not the one who should hate.

I want to push him and shout to his face that his family betrayed mine.

That his parents caused my father's death.

We lost our family business and my mother is still sick.

I want to chide him for what his parents did but obviously, he's still clueless about that fact.

Was it funny? I could have told him that bloody truth 12 years ago, but I chose not to. As I knew how it would hurt, and I... I wanted to protect him.

The son of my enemy. Because I loved him so much.

I felt bitterness made my heart clenching again. I closed my eyes to adjust my emotion and snatched the testing result from him as I opened my eyes again.

"It's none of your business, Mr. Green."

I pushed him away and intended to leave, but he caught my wrist, stopping me again.

My heart almost stopped beating upon the sudden drastic contact.

He grinned devilishly. "None of my business? C'mon, Lucresia. It's not like we don't know each other. Tell me. Are you suffering? Did he dump you? Or you were the one who dumped him?"

I couldn't help my tears from pooling in the corner of my eyes.

Fury reigned in my heart as I stared back into his judgemental eyes.

How dare he judge me like that?! It's me who tried to protect him from the dark truth!

I tried to pull my wrist away from him but he held me tighter as he clenched his jaws. His violent reaction is justifying his anger. His face is now red and he's gritting his teeth.

"Let me go, Damien!"

He shook his head and his lips curved into a devilish grin again.

"Finally call me Damien, huh? But I've lost my patience."

I balled my fists as I fought his intense gaze, "What do you mean?"

"I have a proposition to make, Lucrecia." He suddenly dragged me towards him one more step and our eyes met closer, "I pity you for your failed relationship, but I'm not that heartless."

"You lost everything, right? Your wealth. Your luxury life…" He murmured deeply as if a demon whispering, and fear crept in my heart.

Had he caught the truth? That I'm carrying his child.

Was he going to take it from me? No! I won't let it happen!

"What do you really want to say?" I raised my chin and looked directly into his provocative gaze. If he dared to take my baby, I would fight him until death.

My sudden aura seemed to surprise him. He licked his bottom lip and let go of my wrist.

He stood in front of me with dominance. He smirked, emphasizing his arrogant stance.

"I'll support your child. Financially." He stood straight and straightened his delicate cuffs, then gave me a meaningful glance. "Only if you kneel and beg for my forgiveness or…"

"Or if you'll agree to warm my bed."
