The Stranger's Baby Chapter 38
"Yes, my dear. We have a business deal to discuss over dinner.""Really? Damien wants to do business with her?""Is it a bad idea?" Victoria stared at her daughter intently."Come on, Mom. I hate that you and Damien are thinking it is perfectly okay to do business with her when you could clearly tell of her intentions. Then he goes as far as inviting her over for dinner. Really?""Calm down, baby. Their relationship failed in the past but it doesn't mean they cannot do business together. Besides, Daisy is married. I'm sure she cannot do anything silly anymore."Betty rolled her eyes. "That is where you are getting it all wrong. You all are trusting her so blindly.""I honestly don't get Damien. He seemed to have lost his senses since Melissa broke up with him. He is pushing for a divorce with Rhoda and he thinks now is the best time to start hanging out or doing business with exes. I don't know why he is acting so dumb when Rhoda could use things like that against him.""I know Damien

Damien watched as Gabby engaged in conversations with Melissa while having a big smile on her face. It was as though they knew each other before.Damien went ahead to unbuckle his seatbelt. He turned his gaze back to the front of the block and saw Melissa crouch down and hugged the little boy who hugged her in return. She kissed his forehead before rising to her feet. Then made her way to the car.Damien got down from the car. Melissa drove away by the time he shut the door. He took a glance at the moving car while making his way to the back passenger seat to open the door for his daughter.Rumi had already locked her iPad. She was putting the device into her bag when her Dad opened the door.Damien helped her down from the car. He was about to reach for her backpack when Rumi ran off. "Ryan!!!!"He took her backpack, shut the door, and even got more confused when he saw Rumi hugging the same boy.Holding his daughter's bag, Damien made his way towards the block. He mumbled some incoh

Melissa was a few steps away from her office when she saw Betty standing in front of her door. She mentally rolled her eyes as she approached her door."Hi," Betty said with a polite smile."Hi," Melissa responded, holding her handbag tighter."If this is about your brother, Please I don't want to hear it. Nothing is going on between us. Just a work relationship and I would appreciate it if you respect that."Betty folded her arms. "Damien has really been an asshole. Hasn't he?""There's no need to say nasty words. Life happens. We fall in love and out of love. The same happens with friendships. Shit happens, life happens."Betty shook her head. "There's no need to cover up for him. Dam is just an asshole. I'm hurt because I really like you for him so I was hoping something amazing would happen between you both. Nothing ever gets solved if both parties are in a foul mood. One person has to be calm and in this situation, it has to be Damien but I honestly don't understand him.""It fee

Melissa shook her head. "Me? What do I look like to you? A toddler? And there's no way you are going to take my son away from me.""He's my son too. The one you've kept away from me for all these years. The first time I saw him was like an event of two strangers meeting. He said Hi to me and I could not respond to him because I was too shocked to even make a proper sentence."Melissa sighed deeply."I know what I saw in you that made me fall in love with you, Melissa. But never in my wildest dreams would I have thought you would be this cruel, keeping my son away from me.""I'm not the bad guy here, Damien so Please don't make me feel like one. A mother would protect her child at all costs and that is what I'm doing. I respect the fact that Ryan is your flesh and blood but until you solve your issues, there is no way I will allow him to be a part of this.""Don't you trust me at all?" Damien asked, staring at her in disbelief.Melissa said nothing."Someone came to your home to threat

Coming out of the elevator, fiddling with her fingers, Betty took slow steps toward Melissa's office. She saw Damien walk out of there earlier and was so tempted to go ask what was wrong. Betty was almost connecting her fist against the door to knock on it when she heaved a deep sigh, stopping herself. Betty turned around and made her way to her office. It was a medium-sized office reserved for interns. She grabbed her phone from the table, unlocked it, and scrolled through her contact list. She dialed a number and waited patiently as it rang."Hi, baby.""Mom, everybody okay?""Sure, why do you ask?"Betty sighed, taking steps towards her office window. "Damien stormed out of the office. He was not looking good. He had tears in his eyes and he wo...."Vicky cuts in. "Tears?""Yes, mama and he wouldn't even tell me what went wrong. It could be bad news but I'm not sure. I feel Melissa would know but I don't want to ask her. What goes on between her and my brother is none of my busin

"Baby, it's way past your bedtime." Melissa stammered, hoping she could convince him to go to bed."Please, mama." He continued to stare at her with pleading eyes."Okay, what is it you want to talk about?" She asked, even though She might regret it.""Do I have a Daddy?"Melissa massaged her temple, wondering what she was going to say or how she was going to start the conversation."Do I have a sister?" Ryan asked when his mother said nothing to his first question."Wait! Where did you get all these thoughts from?""People call Rumi my sister because we look alike. I like Rumi and she likes me too.""Rumi's Daddy came to school today. I saw him. I look so much like him. Is he my Daddy?"Melissa sighed. "Why don't you go to bed, honey and we will discuss this tomorrow morning.""No mama. Please tell me. I want to know before I go to bed. Why did you keep Daddy away from me? He looked so sad and shocked when he saw me.""How do you know he is your dad? And why are you so worried about
The Stranger's Baby Chapter 44
Betty stared at her mom since Vicky was the eldest and believed Vicky should have a better answer because her mind was blank."Well, you and Ryan look so much alike but I wouldn't know. It's only your Dad and Melissa that can tell us what is going on."Rumi smiled. "Can Melissa be my mommy? Please? I like her so much." The little girl pouted.Vicky and Betty took a glance at each other."You will have to discuss that with your Daddy when he's back from his trip.""Okay, but when will he be back?" Rumi asked, looking worried."I can't say, my love. But soon. I will call him before I go to bed tonight and let him know that you miss him and you have something important to discuss with him.""Okay," Rumi mumbled not so cheerfully............Betty was able to bribe Rumi into going to bed after that awkward conversation. Elizabeth tucked her in, kissed her cheek, deemed the light, and quietly exited the room. She returned to the living room and met her mother by the bar area, sitting on t

Rhoda scoffed in disbelief. "Weren't you all taught some ethical manners before you all were employed here?""I don't know where your husband is, Please take your leave, I've got work to do!"Rhoda's eyes met with a glass of water on Melissa's table. She reached for it and splashed it against Melissa's face, drenching her body.Mel instantly rose to her feet. There were splashes of water on her laptop and even some of the documents that she was working on."What the hell?" Mel shrieked, wiping her face with her hand. She was also trying to hold back tears. Today was already a rough day for her even before Rhoda's presence."That's for being rude to me and thinking you could come from nowhere to take my husband away from me.""You should be ashamed for forcing yourself on a man that doesn't give a damn about you." Melissa had no idea where she got her confidence from but she was determined not to show her weakness before this psycho."Wow! You've got so much confidence for a mere slut.

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

Hi lovelies, there was a mixup in the upload yesterday. Please check out chapter 93 again before reading this. Thank you. EPILOGUEAfter minutes of intense pushing and a couple of encouragement, the room was filled with a very loud cry.Melissa jammed her head back against the bed, letting go of Damien's hand.Dam's eyes were filled with happy tears. He wiped Melissa's face with the handkerchief in his hand, then placed a deep kiss on the crown of her head."We did it, babe; You did it!!!" 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. Mom and Dad would be so proud of their baby girl. I'm so happy for you, Mel, and I'm so proud of you. I wish you and Damien nothing but forever happiness. I knew you were goi

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
