"If you're here to defend him, please take your leave," Melissa mumbled, the moment Emily entered her room. She was well cuddled on the bed so Emily approached her, taking a seat beside her.

"Like you gonna listen to me if I tell you to forgive him."

Melissa rolled her eyes, hugging her pillow tighter. Her face was red, eyes blotchy and she was tired from crying.

"You shouldn't have let him in. Why if Ryan or anything relating to Ryan was in sight?"

"Of course, I knew nothing was pointing to Ryan. That's why I let him in."

"Don't you feel better after hearing his side of the story?"

Melissa closed her eyes for a second and sighed. "I hate that he's got answers to everything.

"He was scared he was going to lose you."

Melissa shook her head. "I'm not going to be anyone's second wife or second option."

"I don't think he sees you as a second option."

"He has a wife, Emily. And why the hell were you eavesdropping?"

"I wasn't. I was in the kitchen and I could hear you all clearly."

    "Daddy," Rumi's cute voice came through. She was seated on her father's lap behind his desk."Yes, my love," Damien answered, his eyes not leaving the laptop before him."Why do you have a frown on you?"Damien turned his eyes away from the laptop, facing his daughter."Why do you ask that?""You've got a frown on your forehead. Are you sad?"Damien shook his head. "No, I'm not, baby.""I just got carried away with work. Why did you say so?""Because you refused to play with me. You've been staring at your laptop all through."Damien sighed. "I'm sorry." He leaned closer to Rumi and kissed her forehead. "Are you excited to go for your doctor's appointment?"Rumi shook her head, making her bangs fall over her eyes.A small smile crept to Damien's lips. He brought his hand to her face and tucked the strands of hair away from her eyes. "Why? But there would be no needles. Just a general check-up."Rumi frowned, folding her tiny arms. "Because you are not going to come with me.""I'm sorr

    Melissa's eyes lingered on the note for a while. She had no idea why but her eyes were slowly starting to get filled with tears. She sniffled, pushing those tears back."Focus, Mel. Focus!!""He's trying to do all of these to get into your pants."She heaved a deep sigh, then tossed the card back in between the roses............The door to Damien's office opened and his eyes glanced towards the entrance. He sees his little girl run in."You can't find Betty?""I saw Betty. I'm here to give you a final hug before I go." Rumi said, approaching her father."Where's she?""Oh, She's with Melissa."Damien frowned, turning sideways, along with his chair to face Rumi."You know Melissa?""Yes, I just met her. She's my friend. She's very pretty too. I like her.” The little girl grinned."Melissa's around?" Damien had no idea why his heart started racing." You like her?"Rumi nodded, smiling."I would love to see her again when next I come to your office."Damien rose to his feet. He conne

    "You like it, don't you? You like it when I touch you and make you cum." Dam whispered against her ears, while his fingers did wonders to her body down there.Melissa bit her lower lip, as a means to suppress her moan but she let go when Damien increased his pace."I admit that I am a very jealous person. I'm jealous and very possessive over what's mine." Damien said in her ears, thrusting harder inside of her. "You belong to me. Your wet cunt belongs to me. You fucking belong to me, Melissa, no dude is going to take you away from me. Do you get that?""Yes, yes, come for me, baby. Don't hold back. Let it all out." Damien groaned, increasing his pace in her. Soon enough she came very hard, breathing heavily.Dam slid out his fingers, squeezed her butt cheeks, then placed a deep kiss on the side of her forehead from behind. "I love you, Melissa."Melissa shrugged Damien away from her. She rose to her feet properly avoiding his eyes, then made her way to the adjoined bathroom, shutting

    "Please don't start, Em. First, it was Damien that made me look like a terrible person. Now, it's you.""I don't know why you are saying that when you know I will always have your back. You really seemed pained about something and I think you would only feel better about it if you let it out."Melissa sighed, placing her glass cup which still had some wine left in it on the counter."I met his daughter."Em arched her brow. "Damien's daughter?""She's so pretty and looks so innocent.""Of course, I know kids are innocent and charming but there's something beautiful about her presence.”"She looks like the female version of Damien so that makes her the female version of Ryan.""I got to the office and found gifts on my table including a note.""Let me guess, you rejected the gifts?" Emily placed her hands on her hip."Damien and I ended things on a bad note so it made no sense to take the gifts."Emily stared in disbelief."Her name is Rumi. Of course, I knew who she was before she int

    "You have school tomorrow, Princess."Rumi shrugged. "Yes, Grandma can bring me to the office. I will give Melissa her gift and then Grandma will take me to school."Damien sighed. If there was anything he knew well about his daughter, it was the fact that she got easily attached to people and things. And he was not sure if he wanted her to get attached to Melissa. Especially now that they were over.Damien brought his hands to his daughter's face and caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers."I'm not sure it's her birthday, baby.""But why did she have so many presents on her table? She looked really good too. Like she had a party.""I don't know. The truth is, I am not sure if it is her birthday today because we would have known. Right, Betty?" Damien took a glance at Betty who nodded."But we can always find out her birth date," Betty added, earning a glare from Damien."There are probably gifts from her admirer," Damien said to his daughter."Someone likes her?""I guess so

    "Hi. How may I help you?""Melissa Rue Wilson?""Yes, that's me." Mel said, staring suspiciously at the stranger who knew her name."Name your price."Mel frowned. "Sorry?""Oh, I think this process would be quick if you stop trying to go through corners as though you do not understand what I am saying.""Excuse me?" Melissa stepped out of the house and gently shut the door behind her."I have never seen you before and you dare speak to me harshly. What the hell are you talking about?"The stranger scoffed, rolling her eyes. "You are with Damien Rolas because of his money, right? Name your price. I will give you whatever you ask for and in exchange, you quit working for him and stay away from him forever."Melissa stared in shock at the stranger. "Who the hell are you and what gives you the right to talk to me like that?"The stranger chuckled. "I know your type. You really do not have to pretend. I promise your secret is safe with me. Name your price, I will give you the money and yo

    Melissa was typing away on her laptop when a knock came through on her door. She answered it and almost immediately, the door opened and Jackie walked in.Jackie was Damien's assistant. She stood a few steps away from Melissa's desk."Hi Mel, Mr Rolas wants to see you.""I'll be there shortly," Meissa answered, getting ready to stand from where she was seated.Jackie was almost on her way out when she turned back."Everything okay?" She asked, staring curiously at Melissa who finally rose to her feet, adjusting her skirt."Yes, but why do you ask?""You seem quiet. Everything good at home?""Yes, thank you.""Sorry, I'm freaking you out with my questions but things just seem awfully quiet on this floor today and this is the first time Mr Rolas would ask me to call on you. Are you both on good terms?"Melissa nodded, not knowing what else to say.Jackie smiled. "That's fine then. I am sorry for assuming wrong." Jackie said, then exited Melissa's office.Mel heaved a deep sigh once Jack

    "You were so ruthless." Roland's voice came through over the phone."I agree with Roland," Taylor said. "That was so harsh of you."Damien sighed as he stood in front of the window. His phone was glued to his left ear while he ran his fingers through his hair with his free hand."You all are exaggerating. I was just being me. That is what we agreed upon. She wanted it. She wanted this to be strictly business between us and I am not going to lower my standard for anyone.""I would agree with your behavior if you are sure that you don't love her anymore. But if you still love her and you are acting like this. I just want you to know that there is no way she is going to get back to you." Roland said."We aren't getting back together so it doesn't matter.""So that's it? You are giving up on her? You wouldn't mind if I come over and woo her?" Ty said."Stay the hell away from her!!!!!!" Damien groaned, his hand bawling into a fist by his side."Why are you upset by that? She is not going

    Later in the AfternoonMel just finished feeding Raina when a knock came through on the door. The door slowly opened from the outside, and it turned out to be Rumi, Ryan, Betty, and Victoria.The kids ran to Melissa's bedside with the balloons they were holding; Betty was with a gift bag while Vicky was holding a food basket, which they both placed on the table in the room.Thankfully, Mel had burped Raina and they seemed to have arrived at the right time because the little girl's eyes were open.Damien collected the balloons from the kids, set them aside, then ushered the two kids to the adjoined bathroom to wash their hands, after which he helped them climb on the bed so they could get a better view of and interact with their sister. Rumi was to the right while Ryan was to Melissa's left."Ray, baby. Look who's here to see you. Your big sissy and your big brother." Melissa cooed."Hi, cutie. I'm Ryan, your brother. It's good to finally meet you." Ryan said with smiles all over his f

He chuckled, his voice filled with so much happiness.Mel nodded slowly, smiling and sobbing."Congratulations! It's a girl!" The Doctor's voice came through."A girl?!" A tear rolled down Melissa's cheek, and at this point, even Damien couldn't hold back his happy tears."Our baby girl is here." He whispered to Mel."Before they could go any further in their conversation, Damien was called to cut the cord. He did that with shaky hands and then watched as the Doctor attended to the newborn, checkin

    A Few Hours Later The wedding Reception was to take place in a cozy hall which was beautifully decorated to fit the number of guests invited. There was food, drinks, as well as soft music playing in the background."Thanks to you, my Dad has been giving me a hard time," Roland confessed."Same here. I think I'm going to block my mom from reaching me, just for my peace of mind though!" Taylor said, making Damien and Melissa chuckle."Yeah, Dad now sees me as a player. He keeps saying that Damien is on his third child, and I'm yet to give him a grandchild." Roland explained."Same here. Mom says I'm unserious with my life but she would never understand that Dam is just a lucky bastard. He had been planning his family even before he became aware of it." Ty said.Damien laughed. "That's partially true but don't make me sound terrible.""You all really don't have to pressure yourselves. It's okay for parents to bug you about kids but only have them when you are ready and when you feel you

    NEXTTwo Weeks Later."I know I'm acting insane but I'm so sorry. I just can't help it." Emily sniffled, wiping tears off the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief.Melissa smiled. "Why are you this emotional? I thought I would be the one all teary but look at you. Does that mean I'm finally grown?" She teased her sister."Yeah, bully me all you want but my feelings are valid. I didn't expect me to be all teary, too, cos I was expecting you to be the crybaby. I just can't help it. I think I've anticipated this day even more than you.""I know the curve balls that life has thrown at you. You kept on moving even during the gloomy days and when all hope was lost. Seeing you in this dress, about to walk down the aisle to get married to the love of your life, fills my heart with so much joy that I can't even explain.

    Damien stepped forward. "Not a pleasure meeting you but thank you for ruining things in the past. If not I wouldn't have come across this beautiful woman." Dam wrapped his arms around Melissa's waist and initiated a soft passionate kiss."Don't you ever come close to my woman? I'm pretty possessive about what's mine and I give you my word that I'm the wrong person to ever mess with."Damien placed his hands on the small of Melissa's back and led her away."She has always been lucky. She gets the best of things." Kim whispered as she watched Dam hold onto Melissa possessively."This is all your fault! You ruined my life. I should be with Melissa, not that good for nothing egoistic Billionaire!""Yeah, go ahead and put the blame on me since that's what you are so good at doing. We both betrayed her, Karma terribly got us and here you are trying to blame me for your actions.""If I was a slut, then why didn't you resist my seduction? You told me severally that I was better in bed than Me

    Confirming her thoughts that the duo arguing earlier were the two people who betrayed her in the past, Melissa tore her eyes away from them, almost as though she had no idea who they were. She saw their shocked faces but ignored them and took steps to the sink to wash her hands."Me...Me...Melissa?!" Zion voiced out her name in disbelief. He couldn't even move his feet away from where he stood.Melissa ignored, almost as though she didn't hear anyone call her name.Kim sniffled, wiping her face with the back of her palm, trying to act like all was well with her.Zion finally took a step forward as Melissa continued to wash her hands. He took a full glance at her, not believing that she had changed so much."Melissa? Is this you?" Zion managed to form a sentence."Do you have to embarrass me all the time? How can she be Melissa? How would Melissa be able to afford to be in this event? She probably has striking similarities with your ex." Kim said, bringing her bands to her front, tryin

    "I wish that was possible but I know you've got your own life to live and also want your privacy.""I know Damien is an amazing man, and I know he loves me, probably even more than I love him. I'm just scared that I will ruin things. Having you around would always keep me in check. How would I have survived if you weren't here to talk senses into my head."Emily smiled, giving Melissa's shoulder a light squeeze. "You need not look down on yourself. You are doing good and you make the best decisions. Yeah, you can be stubborn, but that doesn't mean you do not make great decisions. Plus, it's not as though we won't see each other anymore. There's only going to be a slight change in our routine.""Instead of coming home to talk to me, then you have to do everything with Damien who's now your best friend. You are gonna love it, I promise you. We will always talk on the phone, and I can always come over for visits. Nothing is going to change. Even Damien can't come in between our bond. I p

    Emily was sitting lazily on the couch in the living room, scrolling through her phone, when she heard a scream. She paused and frowned, then jerked off the couch, making her way to where the loud voice came from. Melissa's room.She badge in and her eyes met with Melissa's back. She was standing in front of a mirror, across the room."Are you Okay?" Emily voiced out with so much worry as she approached Melissa.Melissa turned to face her sister. "Was I that loud, I'm so sorry?"Emily sighed, massaging her temple. "You fucking scared me. I thought you slipped and fell or something.""Yeah, something unusual happened, but I guess I just overreacted."Before Emily could ask what it was, Melissa raised her pajama top, revealing the new change.Emily's lips curved into a smile. "Look who decided to show itself. Hello there you cute little thing!" Emily giggled. She brought her hand to her sister's belly and caressed the little bump."When did this happen? Just now?""I honestly have no ide

    "I was the happiest when Damien told us about it." Betty grinned."It's a blessing to be surrounded by so many beautiful grandkids at such an age where I am able to play with them. Ryan is perfect. Thank you for everything you did for him, and thank you for not seeing us in a bad light.""Thank you for also warming up to Rumi. You're truly a blessing to us "Mel smiled shyly. As someone who wasn't used to getting compliments, She felt strange but in a good way.""Damien takes great care of me too. If he isn't the man of dreams, then I wouldn't have said yes to him. And we can all agree that Rumi is a sweetheart. I'm grateful to have you all as my family.""Thank you for engaging my baby, but can I have her back please?" Damien approached them, possessively circling his arms around her waist."Sure! We were only telling her how happy we are to have her." Vicky said."It feels so weird, but in a good way to see you being all lovey-dovey." Betty teased her brother who tried to hide his b
