I was still pretending to be asleep. I didn't open my eyes until I heard footsteps going away. I heard a deep sigh next to me so I slowly opened my eyes to see who it was.

Edmund's dark eyes greeted me. His appearance is tough.

"H-Hi..." I said.

My throat felt dry.

He acted easily and without saying a word handed me the water he poured from a jug on the table not far from the hospital bed.

"Drink first."

I took the glass but he was still supporting my every move.

I finished a glass of water and then handed it back to him.

"T-Thank you..."

He took the glass and stood up to put it back on the table.

"Get some rest, Lily."

I snorted immediately.

"But I've been resting for a long time..."

How many days have I been here and it feels like a decade? I did nothing but sleep, answer the doctor and eat. I caught up with Edmund when I woke up but he was also leaving.

He sighed and returned to my side. He gently caressed my hair so that I stared at his tense jaw.

Is he angry?

    I turned my back on the bed for a while but was still sleepy so I got up to take a look at Edmund's situation. He was lying on the sofa, although it wasn’t big enough for him.I told him that he can sleep on the bed, next to me, after all, we fit, but he refused. Afraid that he’d hit my wound again.The doctor said it will heal in one to two weeks. The wound is deep and because it was brought to the hospital too late, it is said that it will heal more slowly.I stared at Edmund's peaceful face while sleeping.His brave appearance when awake is the opposite now that he is sleeping. I wanted to reach out and caress his slightly stubbled cheek but I restrained myself and contented myself with looking at him.Something heavy suddenly hit my chest.He's close but it seems like he's far away.That was the content of my mind until I fell asleep and woke up the next day.Edmund and I ate together and then the nurse came for the medicines I needed to take.They agreed to discharge me after thr

    I didn't show my nervousness. I tried to keep up with Edmund and pretend I wasn't nervous even though the truth was the first time I stepped on the smooth floor of the yacht I wanted to go back to the port again.Edmund still supported me even though I said it was fine. He took me to a room and came out when his phone rang.I, on the other hand, explored the large room and immediately settled on the couch to distract myself in front of the television because every movement of the yacht made me more and more nervous.I looked for a good movie but all I saw was horror so that's what I watched.I immediately lost my attention to the movement of the yacht but also regretted it when the scene I was watching became intense.The volume was loud because I grabbed the remote to turn it down but after pressing it a few times it still didn't turn down. It didn't work even though I slapped it on my hand.I was horrified when the killer doll's laughter suddenly soared in the movie. I anxiously loo

    "A-Ah... Can you take a shower first? We'll just set up the dining table, I'll get dressed next." "Alright." I waited for the old man to say something after Edmund left but he didn't mention anything about what he saw. He only gave me instructions on what to do such as how to put the dish in the bowl quickly but not burn me. "It's fine," the old man declared. "Alright, I'll go back to the room to get dressed and clean the wound." He frowned when I mentioned the word wound, so I immediately said goodbye before he could ask. The sound of running water from the bathroom greeted me upon entering the room. I immediately went around to look at the cabinet. I don't remember if the bodyguards brought any things with me. Edmund and I didn't carry a replacement. This nightgown I was wearing was next to the jacuzzi last night so this is the only thing I wore. Clothes of different lengths and colors flashed before my eyes. There are two closets so maybe one belongs to Edmund. I pulled out

    Because of what happened, I barely ate for the rest of breakfast. I saved every bite. When the food we ate was put away, I went straight to the hammock.It was behind the house, under two big acacia trees.I settled there carrying my cellphone that I hadn't touched in a few days.As soon as I logged in to my Facebook, I was greeted with so many messages from Nina. I didn't read everything, I just replied to his last message.Nina:Lily, where are you?Me:Good morning!I haven't blinked three times before I received a reply.Nina:Finally you replied! What are you doing! Let's meet, I'm home!Me:Edmund and I are out of town...I accompanied it with a sad emoji.Her first reply was the crying cat.Nina:Second honeymoon?Me:No, work related. Where are you now?Sometimes, you have to lie even to your closest friends. Because there are things that even if explained, you can't fully understand.Nina:Did yoga earlier.Me:Oh it's over?Nina:Not yet. But your reply is more important!I

    I just laughed at him and ran towards the deeper part of the sea. When the water was up to my waist, I swam until I couldn't reach the sand. "Don't go too far!" I didn't listen to him. Instead I swam to the deeper part and dived there. I spent some time underwater because I was chasing a group of small fish. I was short of breath when I decided to float but I almost swallowed the wave that hit the side of my face because in the sand I saw Edmund remove the belt. When he removed it, he simply threw it away and followed his pants until nothing was left but boxer shorts. I coughed even though I didn't drink any water, trying to be conscious but my eyes seemed to narrow on Edmund's body that was shining with the setting sun. I felt like I was slowly gasping for breath as I watched him swim towards me. "You're still a good swimmer until now." "Huh?" none of my own behavior while mesmerized by his smiling face. "I said you still haven't changed-" "Ah yes... Yes... I'll go there fi

    The bodyguard arrived with a small first aid kit. Edmund put ointment on the burns and cleaned the small cuts on my hand with alcohol and cotton."You're always troubling yourself," he said when he finished what he was doing.I just snorted.I would like to reason that we won't have anything to eat if I don't cook but I know he won't accept it for any reason."It’s here!"We both turned to the source of the shrill voice and that was all Paul was pale. He regained his 'boyish' stance and then nonchalantly walked towards us."Breakfast is here."He put down what we both cooked and my face was almost red when I saw some burnt bacon there, I'm sure it was me.When he properly landed that in front of him, he straightened up and winked at me. The corner of my lips lifted because I knew he was just saying goodbye to admire the person next to me.Edmund faked a cough so we caught a glimpse of him.His eagle eyes watched Paul."We don't need any more, you can leave now."My eyes widened sudden

    It took us both a while to find what we needed. A saleslady there even helped because we couldn't really find the brand of mayonnaise that Edith was buying. It was at the top so we didn't notice. I fell on the bed when I got home. We even had a late lunch at an eatery, where I also washed my legs. We were interrupted on the way because we met two children, one of whom was bleeding from the head. The only doctor at the island's hospital said it was just a small cut, but because I panicked, we took him to the emergency room. We waited for the parents and settled the bill before leaving. "There will be dinner..." Edmund reminded. He just came out of the bathroom, already showered. "I'll set the tub on warm water, do you want?" he asked while combing his hair. "Yes please..." He returned to the bathroom and prepared my bath. I almost fell asleep there if Edmund hadn't knocked to say that dinner was ready, I wouldn't have moved to take a shower. I came out of the bathroom with only

    I clutched my chest in surprise. "Oh I thought you had a lot of paperwork and online meetings? Why are you here?" I wondered. He didn't look at me. His narrowed eyes focused only on Paul who was on the far side of me. "A-Ah, sir, I'll go first..." Paul said softly. Paul beckoned to him and quickly left the kitchen at the hour mark. "I'm just going to get some water," Edmund said and went straight to the fridge as if nothing had happened. I frowned because in my old age there was a mini fridge and water dispenser in his office. I folded my arms as I watched him drink water. He also washed the used glass and put it back in the container after drying. "I have a meeting with Canadian investors. Are you going to do something?" I immediately shook my head. Maybe I'll just sleep in the hammock at the back of the house. "I might need a secretary with me, want to come?" My eyes widened suddenly because what Paul said resonated with me. "Lily?" he said. I blinked and immediately gr

    Edmund’s POV Love is an endless battle between choices and their consequences. Just one wrong move and you will lose everything. One misunderstanding and it's over. I stared at my phone's screen. I used to be too lazy to touch it, now I'm just grinning like an idiot because of its beautiful wallpaper. My wife and daughter. Right. This is what you call heaven. "So what do you think of our proposal Mr. Moriarty?” I was startled when the person in front of me suddenly spoke. I sat up straight because she was staring at me, noticing that I wasn’t listening. I sipped my wine. A bit unethical but I had no choice but to join her here at a French restaurant inside the hotel. I canceled our meeting last time because I was working from home and if I were to work, I would be too busy to insert the conversation with Mocha into the schedule. Her family's hotel is one of the biggest and we can't deny the fact that they make millions annually but they are not doing well these days. I only s

    When I got up the next day, I was shocked. For a brief moment I wished that everything last night was just a dream, a nightmare perhaps. But I know it wasn’t. It was all real. The door opened suddenly and I was still blinking when I entered there as the people inside my mind followed one another. Kendria's hair is done, it looks like Edmund has taken a bath as well, wearing a white v-neck shirt. It was close to the chest and stomach so that every movement made his muscles scream. I immediately looked away when our eyes met. "Mimi! Breakfast in bed!" Kendi kindly stated. The little girl climbed onto the bed and was still jumping on it. "Don’t jump sweetie, the food will spill." I was still shocked when I heard Edmund’s voice. It was a sweet yet authoritative thing that made Kendria obey. She stopped jumping and sat on the bed facing me with a smile. "What is that?" I pointed to the bed tray that Edmund was carrying. And he wasn't alone, behind him was Edna with more food. "G

  • Carrying the Don's Baby   Chapter 70: Complete Family

    In my head I imagined this a couple of times, we are in a fancy restaurant wearing formal clothes then I'll introduce Edmund to our daughter. Not like this, it's the middle of the night, it's storming outside and Edmund's mood is worse than the weather. Deep inside me I know that even though I'm not ready, it had occurred to me before to introduce the father and daughter to each other that's why I was led by fear. I don't want another rejection. I am afraid not only of the possible pain I will feel but also of the effect it will have on Kendria. Maybe I was selfish. Maybe I was a coward. Maybe I overreacted. But God knows I only want the best for Kendi. Because what if Edmund doesn't want to? What if he doesn't accept it? What if he doubts? Up until now he lives like a bachelor, jumping from one woman to another, is he ready to be a father? "Dada... sleepy..." Ken said in a small voice and yawned. A small smile crept on Edmund’s face. Still carrying Kendria, he stood up not even

    I looked at him then took another step towards the door but before I could open it, Edmund was already there. "I can open it, I'm not disabled," I promised flatly. I heard him chuckle but he didn't say a thing. I went inside and folded the umbrella before facing him. "Go home Edmund, I'm not joking even if it's stormy I'll drag you to security- what are you smiling about? You find this funny?" He smiled and shook his head. "Even if your nose is smoking from irritation, you're still beautiful." My heart skipped a beat then it went back, thrice than it's normal bear. "Thank you for the concern but don't be too concerned with me, I am strong but you are fragile." "Stop me with your brats! I said without being concerned- wait you're shivering! I told you to go home!" "But I'm cold and I might get cold because I've been soaked in the rain for a while," he said. Because the light inside the house was on, I could clearly see him screaming suddenly at the sudden blowing of a strong

    I rolled my eyes for the nth time. I've been in and out of the office a few times because I can't get home. Edmund is watching me like a crazy stalker.I'm already irritated because I can't go home, he will surely follow. Kendria is always waiting in the doorway, surely one look will tell her.And I won't let that happen. Over my drop dead gorgeous, sexy, awesome, brilliant, and all the good praises bodyI was thrown back in my swivel chair when I heard three consecutive knocks from the closed door."It's open! Push the door," I answered loudly.Next, Dallia's strange face appeared there. I can see that he has changed his clothes because he is no longer wearing the baby pink staff uniform."Miss? We've closed the cafe, are you going to stay?" he asked.Oh shit! Did I sleep?"N-No Dallia, are you still cleaning the kitchen?" I asked confused."Rara is also finishing."I nodded while gathering my things.I put back on the blazer I was wearing when I came in, covering the sweetheart neck

    Is it possible for a person to forget in just a short period of time? I think it depends on the situation because right now the only thing I want is to get away from him."Thank you," I said in a flat tone before snatching the napkin pack out of his hand.I walked away pushing the grocery cart like nothing happened."What? That's it?" he asked while still following me.I rolled my eyes and pretended like I heard nothing.My eyes widened when I saw my daughter Ken, happily hopping in the grocery's entrance. Behind him is Erna carrying a big teddy bear."Lily-""You know what? I changed my mind..." I nervously glanced at his back trying to find some escape. "Just help me, I forgot something at the end. Can you take it? My foot hurts.""Where?" he asked eagerly."Uhm... In the detergent powder section, you can choose any brand as long as it's maroon in color, the dark one right? It's at the end," I flashed a smile.His eyes widened like he's shocked.I simply looked for Kendria again, go

    "Great!" Inna clapped in glee, "Come with me, Harry and Vince are here, they miss you!" I didn't do anything when she pulled me out of the bathroom. I treated them like my real friends after all. It's a bit sad that my brother disappeared from their group. Maybe because of me or because of many other things that he and Edmund couldn't agree on. Whatever it is, a few years of friendship is also disappointing. Kendrick doesn't talk about that anymore and we are very careful with Kendria. If she heard it from her uncle, for sure she'll go nuts and I don't want that. The jaws of the two men we met at the table dropped. Harry immediately asked if he was dreaming while Vince stared at me like a weirdo. I found out that Gem was also here earlier but went home with her twins and Vince because the children were sleepy. "Calm down, guys, it's just me," I said jokingly and removed a few strands of my hair that had escaped from the updo bun. "Well... it's Lily!" Vince finally exclaimed. I

    I did endless shopping before leaving Kendria with Erna. My daughter is not used to sleeping alone so I asked Erna to sit next to him first or maybe watch over him until he falls asleep. I said goodbye to Kendi but I know her tantrums are different when she wakes up and can't catch me. I still don't know what time I will go home exactly because the party starts almost at midnight, at nine o'clock. Actually, I'm late because it's nine thirty, but Kendrick said the only important thing is that I show up there, I don't need to be late. "I'll take care of it Ma'am," said Erna. I glanced at Kendria who was sleeping peacefully in her bed and then patted Erna to say goodbye. "Just lock the door when I go out, okay? I have a duplicate key so I'll take care of it when I get home later. Ken's milk is on the bed side table and if there's a problem, call me-" "Ma'am calm down, you'll only be gone for a few hours. It probably won't take you a decade at the party," Erna cut me off. I sighed a

    "Let's talk later sweetie, alright?" I kissed her cheek and stood up. "Erna, stay inside for now, I'll just go to the home owners. Don’t let Kendria go out or I’ll kill you.”As soon as the two entered the house, I left. Our house is only walking distance from the office that Erna was talking about, so I just walked. I also have no choice because I don't have a car.The fat woman near the door greeted me politely, the opposite of what I found inside.Heads turned to me almost at the same time so I went inside with my head held high.There are five people in the room. The woman sitting on the swivel chair, a sophisticated woman and a man next to her. The other two women were standing on the side of the one on the swivel chair."Good afternoon, sorry I'm late because I just came from work..." I said softly and sat to the chair across the couple."No wonder the child is neglected," the sophisticated woman scoffed immediately.I cleared my throat and pretended I heard nothing."Miss Clark
