"Aunty, what the hell are you saying?" I growled, looking at the EPT pregnancy test kit in her hand."I know a pregnant woman when I see one", she smirked. "See?" She pushed the kit to me. "Take it or I would be forced to believe you are pregnant.""No.""You are pregnant, Daisy", she grinned proudly."Aunt, I'm not pregnant.""Haven't you been having sex?" She questioned all of a sudden."I...I..haven't, aunt", I stammered."Let's see what would happen when your father hears this", she turned back and left me in the bathroom, hurrying downstairs to look for her phone."What the hell does this woman want from me? Won't I know if I am pregnant? There is no baby inside of me, no form of movement. I'm not pregnant", I said to myself, hoping that was alone to convince me.When I got home from the airport, I met her waiting for me. I greeted her and went upstairs. When she asked me where I was coming home, I was tempted to roll my eyes at her andRelated chapters
FATED BOND CHAPTER 8
Three months after dad's death, I was already a shadow of myself. The only thing that kept me alive was the joy of becoming a mother soon. I barely go out. I don't dress up or do anything worthwhile, except to sleep, eat, and cry all-dayLizzy came to sympathize with me but I didn't allow her in. I heard her telling aunt Susana that my attention was needed in the company. I watched Lizzy from downstairs and I realized she had a baby bump too. It was not as little as mine.I couldn't believe my eyes and I thought about the possibility of dad having a child with his secretary. A posthumous son or girl.Aunt Susana didn't inform me of what Lizzy said to her and the next day, she got dressed and went to work. She began to go to the company daily. That was when I realized the essence of Lizzy's visit. She wanted me to take control. But I was scared. I was just 18.How can I control and manage a company at this tender age? I asked myself."Tender age yet you are pregnant?"

"Where is my fate leading me to?" I asked myself as Lizzy drove me off to the airport."Are you sure about this?" She asked for the umpteenth time, trying to convince me once again from going away."Yes, Lizzy. There is nothing here for me to hold onto. Everything is gone.""The company needs you. You are the rightful owner", she said."No. I'd rather let go of it than lose my life. Aunt Susana is a desperate being. Besides, your little baby also has a right to the company too."I had sneaked out of the house at the early hours of that morning, even before aunt Susana was awake. I was able to pack the little I could but I couldn't get a hold of dad's credit card because it was in the master's bedroom and I was scared of going up there.I couldn't find my phone either. I didn't know whether I lost it on my way home the previous day or maybe aunt Susana took the phone before leaving my room that day.Andrew offered to drive me to the airport bu
FATED BOND CHAPTER 10
Daisy's POVI got to aunt Vanessa's house to meet the greatest shock of my life. She had moved out according to her neighbor. She moved out years ago.Aunt Vanessa and I communicated when I was in high school but I couldn't remember the last time I got her mail. Is it three or four years? I asked.I got her address from the emails she usually sends. I made a huge mistake by not calling to inform her that I was coming.I was knocking on her front door when a neighbor of hers informed me of her absence. I asked him for her new address and he said he didn't have it.I was left with no choice but to call her as I walked back down the avenue to the street. Her phone was unreachable and I almost cried out in frustration.Where do I go from here? I was damn hungry and exhausted. I was also tired of dragging my single box.I'm in deep shit, I muttered.I decided to take a cab to the nearest hotel after trying to think of what t
FATED BOND CHAPTER 11
Daisy's POVI saw mom and then dad. They were smiling at me. Their mouths were moving but I couldn't hear them."Mom?" I called, realizing how much I missed seeing her beautiful face. She doesn't look at all like aunt Vanessa. Aunt Vanessa looked more like a black American."Dad?" I called, relishing the moment we both spent together. The reality of dad's death was dawning on me more than ever and it was having a toll on me."Dad?" I called again, stretching my hand as I howled in pain.I was in severe pain. I was feeling pain all over the world. Then I began to cry. I facepalmed myself as I cried. When I removed my hand to clean up my tears, they were gone."Mom? Dad?" I called again, looking all around, the surroundings were cold, with fogs all over. I shuddered in fear when I realized I was alone.I was in pain again. But this time, it was the pain of being an orphan. The pain of my fate. The pain of my situation. The pain of everything th
FATED BOND CHAPTER 12
Nina's POVI was beginning to see a similarity in my story and that of Daisy's. We were both at a young age when the responsibility of a mother fell upon our shoulders. We were left to birth and train up the child with the father nowhere to be found."Why do women have to suffer the pain alone when the pleasure was between two genders?The only difference between Daisy's story and mine was that Amar and I were in love. It was love at first sight.The sexual tension was obvious. I became restless the moment I entered the conference room and I saw him. He was too. The chemistry was obvious to almost everyone in the room.We spent the night in the hotel close to where the program was held. It was a construction work program and my father's friend was the chief host. I convinced my dad to let me attend so I could have an understanding of how it works. I told him I wanted to use the experience for the book I was writing and he allowed me.I
FATED BOND CHAPTER 13
Daisy's POVThe first two months I spent living with Nina was amazing. Nina got me a new phone when I told her I left my phone in New York.I tried calling her grandmother Nina but she wouldn't let me. She said she isn't old enough to be a grandmother.On Maria's birthday, I cried the moment I woke up. I missed her badly and I wondered how she was faring. I knew she would be dead worried about me. I loved and I missed her, notwithstanding her craziness.I remembered I went along to Las Vegas with the two books she gave me and I quickly went to get them.My baby bump was bigger and I still had less than four months to go. Nina said we would go shopping for the baby things and also decorate the nursery the following month.Anytime Nina was out, I always chatted with Nadia, the house help. She was my best friend and she was already anticipating my birth.Nadia was an African-American and I told her my mother was a black woman and was probably from
FATED BOND CHAPTER 14
Daisy's POVNina and I went shopping for the baby. We bought all that was needed and what to use in decorating the nursery. Almost all the things we bought were pink in color. Nina said she had an instinct that it was going to be a girl.We decorated the nursery with Nadia and I couldn't help but cry. It was tears of joy. I was happy for the care Nina and Nadia were showering on my unborn baby.After we bought the things we needed, I pulled out my credit card to pay, even though I wasn't sure if my money was going to be enough but Nina wouldn't allow me to pay. She was indeed God-sent.I told Nina about my dreams to become a great writer like her someday and she encouraged me to try my hand at my first book.I read one of Nina's books in New York titled STIGMA and I fell in love with it. I never knew I was going to meet the writer of that book someday. Nina had been my role model and the thought of it was motivating me.I began my first book without informing
FATED BOND CHAPTER 15
Daisy's POV"Baby", Nina called as I quickly let my hair down, brushing it."Yes, mom. I'm coming", I replied and wore my heels, took a hold of my handbag, and went out of the room."We are going to be late", she said when I got downstairs."Sorry, mom", I apologized, pulling my skirt down to give room for my belly."Are you comfortable in that dress?" She asked, peering at me."It's ok, mom. Let's go", I said with a smile and flung my bag into my hand.The dress I was wearing was part of those Nina shopped for me, three months after I was discharged from the hospital. It was one of my favorites. I barely went out and that was the first time I wore the dress because it was an important occasion.Nina asked me to follow her to the office to meet her editor and one publishing company coming to sign a contract for one of her books. I was anxious because I didn't know what was expected of me over there. I still hadn't told Nina that I was halfway

FATED BOND CHAPTER 65
Nina's POVI was in the bathroom when I heard Damien come into the room. I heard him asking of me and Amar told him I was in the bathroom. I was having difficulty bending down to wash my leg and private part because I was heavily pregnant.I thought Damien was out until I began to hear him whispering. Amar did the same too and I couldn't comprehend what they were talking about. I rinsed the soap off my body, washed my hair, and allowed the to water wash through me once more before putting off the shower and tying my towel around me. The towel was different from the one I was using before my pregnancy because the one I was using was too small for me. I had to get a bigger one.I opened the door slightly to see Amar and Damien still whispering some words to each other. The only thing I was able to grab before they looked up to see me staring at them was "Daisy."My curiosity got the better of me. "What are you two talking about?"Damien gave me a boyish
FATED BOND CHAPTER 64
Damien's POV"Happy birthday, darling", I scooped Ellah up in my arms and kissed her on the forehead."Thank you, daddy" she grinned. "and thanks for the gift", she held onto the doll I got for her tightly and I smiled. I was glad she loved it. "I love you.""I love you too, sweetheart.""Ellah, you love your dad? What about me?" Daisy questioned with a pout, folding her arms."I love you too, mommy", she chuckled and I laughed softly."What about me?" My mom also appeared from nowhere with her protruding belly."I love you, granny.""I love you more", mom said as Ellah struggled to get out of my hold. I dropped her and moved close to Daisy. She was busy cutting Ellah's birthday cake and distributing it amongst Ellah's classmates who came for the birthday party.My hand found it's way to her waist and she looked up at me."Let's get away from here", I whispered close to her ears. She began to shake her head in disagreement.
FATED BOND CHAPTER 63
Damien's POVShe was like a magnet. I couldn't get enough of her. She was still as tight as I could remember and that pulled me over the edge. I lost control and made love to her over and over again till we both fell asleep.When I woke up, I saw her staring at me with loving eyes. I knew I had earned her forgiveness and I was hoping I won't mess up again. It hurt to see her hurt. There was no doubt about my feelings for her. The feelings I tried to deny when I saw her on the staircase that evening. The fact remained that I was still in love with her."I missed you, Damien", she whispered.Her voice alone turned me on. I wanted to respond but I couldn't. The only thing on my mind was making love to her again. I wish we would stay there all day long and forever in each other's arms. I took her lips, bit her softly and caressed her cheeks. She moaned and it turned me on. I tried to straddle her so I could take her again but she pulled away. I couldn't read her expr
FATED BOND CHAPTER 62
Damien's POVI hadn't seen Daisy since the night she slapped me and I was filled with nothing but remorse and guilt ever since the night. I felt it was necessary to ask for her forgiveness. When I got into the house, I went straight upstairs to her room."Your boyfriend...." I heard mom saying to her as she giggled."Boyfriend?" I demanded, entering the room fully. I was with a frown on my face. I wondered who the boyfriend was."Yes, her boyfriend", mother said vehemently. "She's going out with him tonight. Any problem with that?" Her arms were on her waist with her belly poking out."Nothing. I just came to ask for Daisy's forgiveness. I'm sorry for whatever I must have done to offend you, Daisy. Find a place in your heart to forgive me."She nodded in response without uttering a word. I guess that was her way of saying my attention was not needed so I turned back to move out, without any further word or looking back.I got to my room and s
FATED BOND CHAPTER 61
Daisy's POV"You shouldn't have slapped him", aunt Vanessa queried me when we got home. Ellah was asleep in Nina's arms and Damien was nowhere to be found."He deserved it", Nina remarked. It almost made me smile.She was a great woman indeed. If it were other people, they would have turned to support their son but Nina was different. She stood by me.....for the truth, even though he was her son. I was sure she would have done the same thing if it were someone else. She was amazing and I loved her more."She shouldn't have done that in the presence of Ellah", aunt Vanessa insisted. There was no reply from Nina. I guessed she agreed with aunt Vanessa on that. "The poor girl wouldn't stop crying until her father said something into his ears that got her grinning from ear to ear. I'm sure it was the name of chocolate that made her happy again."None of us replied. I sat on the chair beside Nina and closed my eyes, rubbing my finger over my forehead, hoping the
FATED BOND CHAPTER 60
Daisy's POVWe watched as Aunt Vanessa jumped into Danny's arm with tears streaming down her eyes. Danny didn't recover from the shock until aunt Vanessa kissed his lips and called his name again. Nina looked at me with a puzzled look, and I nodded at her with a smile, hoping she got the message.I was happy for aunt Vanessa but when I remembered what I was doing before then, sadness engulfed me as I watched Nina dragging my box back upstairs."No, mom. Please." I pleaded with her and tried to stop her from dragging the box."Please what?"I shook my head. "I can't stay here anymore. I can't." I sniffed."Daisy, you've been here for four years......""Please, this is what I want. I can't do this. It's torture.""Daisy", Amar called.I kept shaking my head. I didn't want them to convince me. I didn't want to stay. I was tired of holding onto lost hope...it was just like being hopeless. I wanted to be far from Damien. Being close to h
FATED BOND CHAPTER 59
Daisy's POVA week after arriving from the Philippines, I went back to school. The house was unusually quiet. I was no longer comfortable and I was finding it hard to continue calling Nina my mom. I barely go out of my room, except when I was going to school or when I want to go and pick Ellah up from school whenever Nadia wasn't around.I saw Damien once when he was going out in his father's car and Richard was driving inside the house with me. Our eyes met for a brief second before he looked away.It is obvious I mean nothing....absolutely nothing to him, I said to myself. He seemed fine to me like nothing happened, like everything was fine and normal but I wasn't feeling that way.Knowing we live under the same roof was pure torture, seeing him was hell, and knowing what we had was nothing to him made me feel miserable. For the first two days, I cried myself to sleep.I hated myself for thinking and holding onto what we shared that night and I hated
FATED BOND CHAPTER 58
Nina's POV"You mean you were the one that had sex with Daisy all along?" I queried Damien."What do you mean all along? It was just a one-night stand." He replied and I gasped at his bluntness."One nightstand? You had sex with her twice.""She told you that? How did you even know her?""Are you seriously listening to yourself? She gave birth to your child."He scoffed. "How am I even sure the baby is mine ?""Damien", I called and moved closer to him. Then I slapped him. Tears were streaming down my eyes already.Who would have thought I took in my grandchild? I asked inwardly. What would have happened to Daisy and Ellah if I hadn't taken them in? Daisy suffered alone because of my irresponsible son.I was disappointed and his statement increased my disappointment and anger. The memories of my past came rushing. How I had to fend for him, care for him alone without his father."Mom, you slapped me?" He questioned.
FATED BOND CHAPTER 57
Daisy's POV"Who the hell is Lizzy?" Grandmother lamented.I shook my head. She was too choosy when it comes to her association with other humans. I was sure she doesn't like Lizzy just from the name. Grandmother was insisting that we get the company back. That was when I told them about Lizzy.I stayed back in the Philippines because my grandmother insisted I stay. Aunt Vanessa supported her. We discussed a lot, including Aunt Susana.I also got to meet Fred, aunt Vanessa's son. He was an intelligent and smart kid. When aunt Vanessa told him I was his aunt, he hugged me fiercely asking me different questions about where I stayed and about Ellah."Dad had an affair with her and she got pregnant. She informed me about the bankruptcy and that Susana wants to sell the company. Nina wanted to help me but I refused. I didn't want her to waste her money for nothing. Lizzy later called to inform me that she bought the company already."
