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

"I don't know Em. My emotions are getting to me that I've got no idea what I am doing or how to even make proper decisions.""Try to stay strong and in the meantime, forget that you had a throw-up episode earlier today. At least until you confirm it.""You said you and Damien left off on bad terms so the first thing should be trying to clear the air with him and to also talk about Ryan.""Let your heart lead you and please do not be stubborn.""Okay, thank you, I'll let you know how it goes.""Yeah, I'm rooting for you. Take care!"Melissa heaved a deep sigh, dumping her phone in her bag. She nervously sat on the chair behind her desk and powered up her laptop to finalize the presentations for the meeting that was coming up in a couple of minutes..............................Damien was typing away on the laptop when the sound of someone barging into his office caused him to look up from what he was doing.He came face to face with Betty and strolled in like someone on a mission.Dam

Damien's voice took over the room, then the meeting started in full force.Presentations were made and then it got to Melissa's turn.She rose to her feet, linked her laptop to the projector, and started the presentation. Halfway through her slides, Mel started feeling funny but she managed to pull through by talking a bit slower.There were two more slides left when Melissa's sickness took over her. She brought her hand to her mouth and ran out of the conference room.Damien rose to his feet. Jackie did the same, excused herself, and ran out of the conference room...............Damien's eyes were on Melissa's body the moment she stepped into the conference room. He noticed how she was avoiding looking into his eyes and he also noticed that there was something off about her that he couldn't quite lay his hands on.Dam instantly rose to his feet the moment Melissa ran out of the conference room. Even though Jackie went after her, he still wasn't calm."Please let's all take a short b

Melissa's heart started racing. She looked away from the window and faced Damien who was about to unbuckle his seatbelt."Wh....why are we here?"Damien unbuckled his seatbelt and turned his attention to her. "What do you have to say to me?"Melissa stared at him . "I don't know what you are talking about.""Don't start with your secretive ways, Mel. I've had enough of you leaving me out on important things.""I don't know what you are talking about. You wouldn't tell me why you dragged me here. If you were worried about me, then there's no need anymore. I just had a little stomach upset. Probably because of what I ate. But I'm all good. Can we go back to the office now?""You think I'm a fool, right? You think I can easily be manipulated?""I don't understand you. Why are you acting so cold?""Why do you have that damn test in your drawer?"Melissa's eyes went wide. She parted her lips to say something but words failed her."You saw my drawer? What were you doing in my office?" She f

"Have you taken anything today?""No, I don't have an appetite."Irene nodded, writing something down."Dizziness, weakness?""I only experienced both today.""Soreness or any form of pain in your nipple area?"Melissa felt embarrassed. The fact that Damien had his eyes on her as she answered all of the questions."It's fine, we would just do a general test, including the pregnancy test. Please come with me." Irene rose to her feet. Melissa followed suit."Can I come too?" Damien voiced out. "You can wait for her at the reception. She will join you shortly."Damien nodded, rising to his feet. They all exited the office. While Mel and Irene made their way to the laboratory, Damien was stuck at the reception. He took out his phone from his pocket and sat down. There was a missed call from Roland.He sighed, calling the number back."Hey dude! Thought you were still in the meeting, that's why I didn't call again. How is it going? Have you spoken to Melissa ?"Damien sighed deeply, not k

"Mel, say something," Damien said, the moment she looked away from him."I don't know what to say.""Isn't that your wish? My lawyer has been working hard to make sure this gets sorted and here you are, acting so less concerned."Melissa said nothing."I understand you. You are being racist to me."She stared at him. "Why would you say that?""Isn't that what's on your mind? You wish I was single, had no daughter, no wife. And you wouldn't want to be known for marrying a divorced man. You don't have to keep the truth away from me. I know exactly how you feel."Melissa shook her head. "You're coming up with unnecessary thoughts in your head.""If my reasons are not valid then you genuinely do not like me. I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I get myself another woman."Melissa scoffed. "Can we stop talking about us and focus on the mess we are in?""And no. I'm not against you because you have a daughter. I admit I was shocked and jealous to find out about her but she's one of the sweetest l

Melissa continued staring at the prescription she was holding."What do you feel like eating?""Nothing. I just want my bed.""I think I'm going to have you move in with me," Damien whispered to himself."What?""You heard what the doctor said about things you need to do. Being with you is the only way I get to keep my eyes on you.""That wouldn't be necessary, I can take care of myself. I will eat when I get home.""I know you are an adult but I don't trust your words." Melissa was about to say something but he cut her off. "There's so much that can go wrong when you are not happy with something.""I just feel so numb but that doesn't mean that I'm unhappy. I'm just so shocked and my brain feels tired. I have a personality where I sort of have everything figured out in my head, so when something goes wrong, I end up going back to the drawing board and it drains me.” "I'm not mad at you or the baby. Though I'm a little mad at myself for not taking my pills. I know my anger makes no s

"Please let me call you back, Alice." Emily said to the person on the other end, after which she ended the call, keeping her phone aside. "You Okay?" She said to her sister, seeing her walk into the living room."Everything good at work? Where's your bag?" Emily stared in confusion, surprised to see her sister home by this time.Melissa heaved a deep sigh. She placed the food bags on the center table after which she plopped down on the couch beside Emily."You wouldn't believe what happened today?""I can guess. Damien eventually showed up and you all had a fight.""How did you know?"Emily shrugged. "It has always been him so it has to be him.""He knows I'm pregnant."The worry on Emily's face was instantly replaced with relief as a small smile crept to her lips."Please don't smile, it's not funny." Melissa groaned."It's not funny but it's good news. I'm going to be an aunt again and the father of the baby is aware. What more can I ask for?""Okay, how did he find out? Because I

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 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
