The Stranger's Baby Chapter 41
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

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.

"I don't know what you are talking about," Melissa said, then turned her attention back to the table. She wiped her laptop with the dry clothe, closed the device, and put it in her handbag."What are you doing?" Betty asked. "You can't avoid all situations by staying quiet or walking away.Melissa heaved a deep sigh, turning sideways to look at Betty. "It's been from one thing to the other. Yeah, Damien and I are not on good terms but I thought I could manage to work here regardless but it seems really impossible as each day goes by.""I come here every morning with a positive mind but something tries to kill my mood every time. If I don't get into a heated argument with Damien, then it's something else. Only God knows what Rhoda is going to do to me next when she corners me alone. Maybe it's time I quit!""I can't believe she would come in here to ask for Damien's whereabouts especially when I don't know where he is. I've been trying to reach him too since last night and Please don't

"What would you have done if you were in my shoes?" Melissa said to Emily as she cuddled closer against the pillow.Emily sighed, taking a seat on the bed, and facing her younger sister. "I think I am proud of you. For someone who is gentle, you stood up against Rhoda and I'm glad you did.""Well, if I were to be in your shoes, of course you know I'm not gentle so I would have done something nasty. Probably hit her in return for splashing water on me but again I understand you were in a work environment and I commend your patience.""It's probably good that you only talked back to her because that bitch is psycho. She might have gotten you arrested if you laid a finger on her.""I honestly didn't think about all of these then but it's something she can do. I'm glad I didn't lay a hand on her." Melissa mumbled."I'm sorry all of this is happening. I know it isn't your dream to marry a dude who had a wife in the past but are you going to let that prevent you from being with the man you

The sachet was still as good as new, with no pill missing from it. She probably had an illusion that She took them when in reality she didn't take anything."Gracious goodness!" Melissa mumbled. She dropped the pill sachet on the counter, brought her hand to her forehead, and massaged her temple, mumbling incoherent words.The door to her bathroom flung open and Emily strolled in. Seeing Melissa's reaction, she suddenly had an idea of what had taken place. She took a glance at Mel, at the sachet on the table, and then back at Melissa whose eyes were suddenly filled with tears."I swear I don't understand why this looks untouched. I thought I took the pill. What the hell is happening?"Emily placed her hand on Melissa's shoulder and gave it a light squeeze. "Please calm down, Sis."Melissa shook her head. "What the hell am I supposed to do now? How could I have been so stupid that I didn't even take the pill?""Worry wouldn't solve anything, Mel.""Then maybe I should just shoot myself
