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
Lucky's POVDamien is at home with Darya. He said he'll just get some clothes for me and himself. He will come back immediately but I doubt he will. Mom called a few minutes ago, saying Damien fell asleep while watching our daughter.I wonder if he's not suspicious of Darya's face. She resembles him so much. Did he realize it?"Why did you ask for a wheelchair, Lucky?" Sunny was the one beside me. She helped me sit on the wheelchair.I looked at her. "Bring me to the next room."Rain is coincidentally admitted in the next room. It's been three days since she gave birth and I heard she's about to get discharged."Who's in the next room?"I didn't answer Sunny. She did what I wanted. We're already in front of Rain's hospital room when I heard people talking inside."He's kinda tan. You and Damien are fair. Why is that?" It's Mrs. Green's voice.I pressed my lips together. I think this isn't the right time. I want to talk to Rain alone. I wanna ask her if she knows that the sperm we rece
Lucky's POVThe knife did not pierce through my skin. I just saw Rain kneeling with the knife buried in her stomach. My eyes widened."What the hell, Rain!" I screamed."HELP! W-WHY, LUCKY?"My forehead creased. She stabbed herself and cried as if I was the one who stabbed her. I balled my fists as I watched her fall on her knees. Her scream alarmed Sunny and Mrs. Green outside. They barged inside the room and called for an emergency.I gritted my teeth as Mrs. Green attended her frantically. Sunny was left beside me, shocked with what happened.I couldn't react. I was shocked too. I didn't know Rain is that stupid and desperate herself just so she can get rid of me. Too bad I'm not stupid."What happened, Lucky?" Sunny asked with a worried face."Lucresia, are you okay? What happened?" Mrs. Green asked as she came back.She caressed my hair. I don't know what to tell her. To be honest, I'm afraid she'll blame me for what happened.Her eyes softened. "Don't be scared. Tell me what hap
