Dane Diam was sure to have the head of whoever had his phone buzzing incessantly on a platter.

Not only was his moment ruined, Baby had also curled up at a corner, away from his hold and unwilling to meet his gaze again. Just when he had her right where he wanted, it was all ruined by such nuisance.

"Baby." Diam moved closer to her. He just could not let this moment be ruined.

She shuddered, stylishly evading his touch. "You should take the call. It might be important."

The realization that his moment was ruined had his jaw twitching in fury. With a hiss, he picked up the phone.

"I see you've got a death wish!" He muttered glacially, glancing at Baby. He paused for a moment at the fear in her eyes. Of course, she heard his words. He knew he had to set the records straight immediately. It would be game over if she starts seeing him as some murderer.

"It's just an expression. I didn't mean it." Diam quickly laid down his explanations. Seeing they weren't enough, he offered his most ch

    PRESENT DAY.Baby ran the comb through her hair again, idly and lost in thought.Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she wondered how she had changed so much. She was looking nothing like she had looked four years ago. Time did change her a great deal. Or was it the pains? She placed the comb on the table. It was the pains. She had her agony etched into her heart that it made her forget what being happy was like. It's been ages since she last visited the spa, or had her manicures done. Her hairdo was done a year ago. Nothing on her was recent. She'd stopped living a long time ago.With a sigh, Baby walked to the window, staring into the night. Her arms were wrapped around her as she closed her eyes to the soft rhythm of the singing owls. Fluttering her eyes close, her thoughts drifted off to Diam. It's been a week since he visited. He'd left that day in a distraughted state. She spent every night wondering what had become of him. How much she hated herself for harbouring though

    Diam hurried to his feet pulling Baby with him in a swift move. He hid her barely clad body behind him. Quickly, he took off his coat and tucked her inside it. Her head was lowered and her face was crimson from embarrassment. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips at the sight of her dimples, glowing brighter than they did four years ago."Just like old times, Baby." He whispered, before turning around into the overpowering glow of the flashlight."What's going on here?" The patrol officer asked again, squinting his eyes to get a better view of them. "You wanna turn off that flashlight?" Diam could barely keep his anger in check. "Put your hands above your head." The officer ordered, taking out a handcuff."Turn the damned flashlight off!""Put your hands above your head!" "Dane Diam, Green-Grass corporation. Turn the fucking flashlight off!""What?" The officer quickly turned off the flashlight. He took quick steps forward, wanting to confirm the identity."Don't you dare come a

    Baby was perturbed at how messed up her little girl looked. It was pretty confusing because she'd seen her asleep in her room. How did she end up so wet? What mess had she created inside? "Sweetie, what happened? What did you do?" Baby cooed, wiping off the wetness on her forehead. "You're gonna catch a cold out here. Let's get you inside."Baby carried her little girl inside, attempting a quick slam of the door but Diam caught it. He gave a crooked smile, carefully shutting the door after he walked in.Baby knew she was in for a hell of a night, but she'll deal with that later. Right now, she had a priority.She squatted in front of her little girl. "What happened?""I'm sorry, mama. I was looking for you." Angel said lowly, rubbing at her eyes. "I'm sorry, sweetie. I was attending to something. Tell me, why are you so wet?""I went to the bathroom and I saw my uniform in the laundry basket. I wanted to help you wash them because I knew you were tired."Baby felt the wetness cloud

    "...so the princess and the poor orphan lived happily ever after. The end." Baby finally tore her gaze from the book. Her little girl was already halfway to Dreamland. She smiled and kissed her cheek. "Sweet dreams, sweetie.""Mama, can I ask you something?""Sweetie, I thought you were asleep already." Baby smiled affectionately, running a hand through her little girl's hair."Is that fine mister a friend of yours?" Angel asked with a yawn. She rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up. "What's this sudden interest in the Mister?""I like him, Mama. I think he's a good man.""What?" "Don't you like him?"Baby hadn't seen the questions coming. Her little girl had caught her off guard. Still, she tried maintaining her composure. No need getting alarmed. They're just... innocent, childish questions."Sweetie, Mama doesn't hate anyone." "Great! So he can be my Dada, right?"Now this was a shocker for Baby! Her eyes were barely hanging to their sockets. If she hadn't known better, she'd think

    Diam woke up to the clattering of plates from the kitchen wing. He sighed groggily, muttering profanities at the damned chef who chose to be so noisy. Sitting up, he took a quick glance around, almost surprised at what he was doing on a couch. Then it dawned on him. The happenings of last night. Baby. He puffed, slouching into the sofa. The noises grew, raking through his ears.Upset, he stood and headed to the direction of the noises. Blasting her was not a good way to start the morning. But neither were the noises. It's a Saturday, for Pete's sake!Her back came to view, and whatever profanities he'd arranged in his head eluded him.Slow steps brought him to the doorway, and there he stood, lost and stunned.It was not the first time he'd been allured by her beauty. But each time always feels like a first. Today was no exception. Her backless black gown, studded with diamonds was the most seductive dress he'd ever laid his eyes on. Skimpy, lingering just few inches below her waist.

    Halfway through her journey back to sanity, Baby could barely make out coherent words for her little girl.With her hands clinging to his arms, and his, firmly wrapped around her waist, Baby knew she was caught in the act.Devastation rushed in with great tide at the realization that her little girl might know exactly what they'd been doing.She was downright flushed; the stench of her juice lingered on the table; her lips were swollen from his kisses. They were all there – everything to point out what nastiness had gone on minutes ago. Still, with the last ounce of hope, she prayed her little girl doesn't figure it out."What happened?" Angel gasped at the broken plates on the floor. "My China!" They were hers; her favourite to be exact."They fell–" Diam finally picked up his words, and lowered his head to stare into Baby's eyes. –"from your Mama's hands. It was an accident."

    Stepping past the threshold of her room, Baby slammed her door close. It didn't slam. Sharply, she spun around and gasped. "What are you doing here?" Her feet moved backwards, seeking refuge. But there was none. Not in her small room, not in an exquisite bedroom, not anywhere in the world!"I'll be damned if I allowed you a second alone." Diam shut the door, locking it firmly to avoid any intrusion. This time, she had to spell it all out for him. He was damn sick of her games."Don't come any closer!" She clenched out."That depends on you. I need answers and I need them right now. And I swear to God, I'll do anything to get them, even if I have to pin you down. Literally, pin you down." His brows were raised, giving her the utmost clarification of his every word."You're gonna manhandle me? How low of you!""It's up to you. I could be the perfect gentleman, with my hands safely stashed away in my pockets, provided you give me answers. And not just answers, but the damn truth! I've h

    Downstairs, Diam found Angel exactly where he'd left her. Her plates were empty and she was gulping down the last of her coffee. She looked up and grinned, softly slamming her mug on the table."Thank you for the breakfast, fine mister." Diam took a seat next to her, taking her hands and placing kisses on her palms. "You should be thanking your Mama. I didn't move a muscle.""It's okay. I'll thank her too." Angel giggled. "Your Mama said I should come down here and say my good-byes to you,"Sighing, her smile vanished and she pouted. "Do you really need to go?""No. I could always stay here if your mama would let me.""Really?!" Angel shrieked excitedly. "You'll stay with us?""Only if your mama would let me." He shrugged, and bent closer to her. "Tell me something, dear. Does your mama bring home male visitors?""No. Except the mailman and the old neighbors across the street who brings us cakes occasionally, we don't get much visitors.""Why is that?""Mama said we're better off al

    The two guys hurried to the parking lot, which was at a secluded area, away from the main parking lot of the clubhouse. The Danes practically ran the place, so it's no wonder they had their own...everything! David, on seeing them, alighted from the car and bowed his head."Where is he?" Blane asked. "He's inside, Sir Blane.""Open it.""Sure." David nodded and opened the door, revealing a sleeping Diam and Baby.Any onlooker would find it impossible to say who looked more stupified amongst the two guys. They both had their eyes barely hanging to their sockets, gaping at the sight in front of them.Roland spoke first, but it was more of a stutter. "That's...that can't be...is that... really Diam?""Nah, it can't be." Blane chuckled incredulously. "There has to be an oversight.""Yeah, like...what if that guy is an imposter? A lookalike?""No, Sir Roland. That's Sir Dane Diam.""Like I said, an oversight. You gotta think. Figure out the loophole. Maybe at some point, you picked up a m

    FLASHBACK"Are you alright?" Diam asked, his voice laced with immense concern.It's been weeks since Baby came into his life and home. Been weeks he stopped existing and started living. Everything changed with her around. His austerity was replaced with warmth and enthusiasm. Everyday, he looked forward to waking up in the morning and finding her in his arms. She was his muse, he'd learnt to embrace that fact. Those unsure feelings were sure now– he cared for her, more than he'd ever cared for anyone. All his life, he'd seen ladies as bland. Their incessant fawning to get their way into his bed had triggered the disgust he felt towards ladies. But Baby, she was different. You could see it all in her eyes, no room for pretence. She was an open book, and each day, he was addicted to reading her, knowing her. His rash decision in making her his partner certainly paid off. Now he wondered what life would be like if she wasn't here. But she was, by his side, in his car, with that flushed

    "Thank you," He kissed Angel's cheek. "And yeah, I was kidding. Your Mama would never spout sewages. She looks smarter than that."Clenching and unclenching her fist, Baby was running out of patience with Diam's sarcasms and snide remarks. "You should leave.""I know. God, I know." Diam got on his knees. It was the most disparaging thing he'd ever done. But she was worth it. "Angel, please. I really need to go. But I can't if you don't come with. I'll take care of you–""Just like you promised four years ago, right?" Baby added lowly, clamly but the pains were latched on her words.Diam looked up at her beseechingly. "I could scream my lungs out, rain down my apologies, have a thunderbolt strike it into your heart, but it wouldn't be enough to let you realize just how sorry I am. I have no excuse, and I'm running out of words already. If you could just look into my heart, let go of your anger and take just one peek at my heart, then you'll see. I'm at my lowest, Baby.

    It took the words leaving him and her round eyes taking a deep shade of red for Diam to realize it was him who needed to be let down gently.Having to leave just when he was beginning to feel that home was shitty. But he hadn't realized just how much until he spewed out the words. As the tears dropped down her eyes, he felt the excruciating pain like he'd been jabbed by sharp spikes. "You're... leaving?" Angel sobbed, clinging to the collar of his shirt."Only because I need to," Diam took it upon himself to wipe off the tears before they could make their way down. "But, but you said...you said you didn't wanna go," "And I mean it. I'd give anything to stay. But, I've got obligations and it's crazy that I just can't leave them unattended," Diam tried explaining, chocking back tears."In the big castle? Mama said you belonged there, not here with us.""That's not true. I belong wherever you're at. Both you and your mama. But for the next few hours, I need to take care of something."

    "What happened?" Diam came rushing to her. He'd heard their voices from the kitchen. "If it isn't the homewrecker, Dane Diam. I think it's safe to say you've succeeded so my congratulations are in order." She replied sardonically, shoving him aside and going downstairs."Wait, Baby. What are you talking about?" Diam held her hand and she turned. Her finger dug into his flesh and with a wince, he dropped her hand."My daughter asked me to leave her room for the very first time.""Why would she say that?""Take a wild guess!""You two argued about me, didn't you? I'm so sorry...""Don't be. For someone doing what he's best at, you shouldn't be sorry."Taking out her anger at him was logical. Even though it wasn't his intentions, his presence here had erupted whatever serenity might have existed. But what was crazy was the fact that he wasn't sorry for coming. It was either coming here or loosing his mind, and he would never choose the latter."You know what else she said? She said I wa
