Lucky's POVI passed a resignation letter to Mr. Keller through email. I know I can't work properly in this state. Additionally, people are now aggressively attacking me through social media. I'm just thankful that I have enough savings to support my family though I know it won't be enough. I still need to work.Three weeks after I gave birth, Darya's pediatrician allowed us to go home. I even asked him if baby Darya can travel a short journey and he allowed us since based on the result of tests, my baby is strong and stable. I can even call this a miracle because after everything that happened, she's here. Safe and sound."Lucky, I got baby Darya's stuff!" Sunny excitedly showed me the travel bag.I nodded and smiled at her. "Thank you, Sunny."I gently carried baby Darya in my arms. She's so delicate. So small. So beautiful. I could stare at her forever."Let's go." Mom said and looked at me.I nodded. That's when Camilla entered our hospital room while playing with her car keys.Sh
Camilla's POV[I didn't bring a swimsuit because you didn't tell me there's a beach.]I laughed. "Fine, I'll bring my spares. I don't have time to buy. So…"[Bring it! I'll be waiting, Cami. Bye!]I just shook my head when she ended the call just like that. Sunny is really something, huh?I sat on the floor and wore my shoes. I even tied my hair in a messy bun before I picked my phone up and pulled myself up. I grabbed my car keys.I'll go back to the vacation house later. For now, I will talk to my dad.I drove to his company and went straight to his office. My face was blank. I was only thinking of one thing. To make my dad stop whatever he's doing."How did they find out that he worked under us? I told you to take care of it! Now, they're dragging us to the mess. They'll put the blame on us!"I pushed the door open. The people inside turned to me, shocked. My eyes raked their whole body. I can't believe they're saving themselves only."Camilla!"I lazily bore my eyes at dad. "If yo
Lucky's POV"She hasn't arrived?" I asked Sunny after I saw her in the living area.I glanced at my wristwatch and sat on the single couch. It's already 10PM but Camilla isn't here yet. We're worried.Sunny shook her head and showed me her phone. "She's not texting. I can't even reach her. She's out of reach."I pressed my lips together and palmed my forehead. "Do you have contact with her mom?""No."I heaved a sigh and chewed my lip. What should we do? I'm scared. What if something… No! No! I shook my head. I shouldn't think about something like that. It can't be!We waited for Cami but the sunrise came without even receiving a single text from her. Now, I can't do nothing anymore."I need to find her." I declared as I looked at mom and Sunny.I'm sitting on the dining chair while breastfeeding baby Darya. A pillow was resting on my lap to support my baby and my cesarean wound.Mom immediately shook her head. "You're still recovering, honey."That made me sigh. She's right! But if n
Lucky's POVI was about to call Damien again when he called. I immediately pressed the answer button and looked at Sunny."Hello, Damien?"[Camilla's safe. Don't worry about her. Just stay where you are and don't go anywhere. Camilla told me there are enough stocks in there.]I nodded and chewed my bottom lip. "I'm glad she's okay. But what happened? She didn't call us."I heard him heave a sigh. [She was attacked by Zandra.]"What?"[Don't worry. This will end within this week. Just stay where you are. You're safe there.]"Thank you, Damien."[How are you? Does your wound hurt? Are you okay?] His voice is now worried.I smiled and slowly caressed my wound. "I'm fine. We're okay here."[Hmm… I really missed you. I wanna see you and our baby.]Our baby. Yes, Damien. Biologically she's our baby. Darya Celeste is our first born. Our daughter. I badly want to tell him that but I want to do it personally. That would be better. So I can explain better.[Still there, baby?]I smiled. "Yeah.
Damien's POV"How dare she touch my daughter!"I kept my face straight as Camilla's father slammed the table. I glanced at Duncan beside me. He's just silently listening."Are you sure my daughter is safe? Where is she? I wanna see her."I slowly shook my head. "I'm afraid she won't allow it, sir. She told us that she will never see you until you agree to work with us."He clenched his jaws. "You understand me, right? I don't wanna put my family in danger.""It's done, sir." I said as I bore my eyes at him. "Running away from the problem won't resolve it. You should know that by now. Your daughter almost died."I rested my clasped hands on the table as he sat across from me.I clenched my jaws. "The only way to resolve this is to end the Smith's power and connections.""It will not be easy, Damien. We have to catch them in the act of crime to be able to cut their connections or atleast strip off their wealth."I shifted my weight. "Stripping off their wealth is not easy and will take
Lucky's POV"She has Retinopathy of prematurity or ROP. This is just mild but we still need to monitor her for now."I palmed my forehead and glanced at Sunny who's carrying baby Darya."I thought she's normal?"He heaved a sigh. "I'm sorry. I must've diagnosed her wrong before. I checked her but I didn't see a problem."I swallowed hard and nodded. "What should I do, doctor? Does she need surgery?""No! No!" He shook his head and glanced at baby Darya. "We just need to observe her. We'll have her scheduled for ROP screening after she's four to nine weeks old."That means we can't go back to Camilla's vacation house. It's best for us to stay here for baby Darya's sake.After the consultation, I went to Sunny and carried baby Darya."What did the doctor say?"I stared at baby Darya. "It's Retinopathy of prematurity. Stage 1 but she needs to be observed."Sunny heaved a sigh. "That's a relief. That means it can be cured, right?""Yes. The problem is…""What?"I looked at her. "We need t
Lucky's POVI was tied and helpless inside the container. The suffocating darkness is scaring me. I can hear the people talking outside and the freaking rope on my wrists are too tight. I can't free myself."WHAT? DO SOMETHING! I WANT HER TO DIE IN COLD!""But, Miss Zandra. This is an abandoned container storage. We can't find a freezing container here.""ARGH! YOU STUPID BASTARDS! THEN, GET SOMETHING TO KILL HER SLOWLY. PUT A NITROGEN GAS INSIDE THE CONTAINER!"In spite of my current situation, I found myself laughing. Obviously, Zandra's men are amateur. Even Zandra isn't really good at this.I squeezed my eyes closed as I heard some of them leaving. I need to free myself before they come back.A picture of me and my dad visited my memory. The time when he was teaching about survival skills and all. About how to fight and protect myself."If you're in a dangerous situation, remember not to panic. Think of a way to save yourself. Don't rely on someone because the people you're relyin
Lucky's POV"I'll leave you two alone." Camilla said and left.I watched Damien drop the call and pressed his lips together. He stared at the air with worried eyes. I'm waiting for him to leave. I'm waiting for him to tell me to wait for him. Thinking about him being on someone else' side, holding another woman's hand while looking at their baby is hurting me so much.I stared at his face, waiting for him to look at me and when he did, my lips parted.There's confusion in his eyes. He's torn between rushing to see Rain and his baby, and wanting to be near me.His throat moved as he swallowed hard and smiled at me. He sat on the chair and kissed my hand as he squeezed it."A-Aren't you leaving?" I asked with a hoarse voice.He stared at me as his eyes softened. "How can I leave you in this situation?"I shook my head. "Rain gave birth to your child.""I have another child here. And a girlfriend who needs me."Tears rolled down my cheeks. "Y-You're not Darya's father."His jaws clenched
