"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

"Where's Ryan?" Melissa voiced out, intentionally changing the topic."He was here just now. He went to get his tab.""Where are you going? Don't you want to unbox the gift?" Emily said to Mel who was walking away.Melissa proceeded to Ryan's room. She found him by the sofa, putting a book in his backpack. Mel shut the door and approached her son with slow steps."Hi baby." She bent to kiss his cheek."Hi." He mumbled, not looking at Melissa.Melissa sat on the sofa and pulled her son close to her. She made Ryan sit on her lap and intertwined her hands with his. "Are you still mad at me?"The little boy nodded."I miss you but I'm still mad at you.""What can I do to make you forgive me?"Ryan shrugged."How was school today?""Good. I finished my lunch.""And Rumi?""She's good too.""Would you like to talk to your Daddy?"Ryan's eyes lit up, his lips curved into a beautiful smile. "Daddy?"Melissa nodded. "Do you want to talk to him?""Yes.""Okay, let me go get my phone.""Tell me

"Come on, answer me, Daddy." Rumi pouted, waiting for answers.Damien gently massaged his temple, thinking of the right words to say and in a way that his little girl was going to understand him.Vicky and Betty were seated on different chairs in the living room, with their attention on both father and daughter."Yes, Ryan is your brother and Melissa is his mommy.""But why didn't you tell me when I came to your office the other day."Dam sighed quietly, thinking of how to explain the situation to her and neither did he want to put Melissa in bad light."I'm so sorry about that, darling. I was waiting for the right time to do so. I hope you can forgive me." He stared at his daughter with pleading eyes.Rumi quit frowning and started smiling again. "It's fine. I'm happy to know that Ryan is my brother. People in school keep calling us siblings. It feels good to know that Ryan is my real sibling. I like Melissa too. I see Ryan in school but when can I see Melissa, Daddy? And are we goin

"Betty!" Vicky warmed."Come on, mom. You know I am telling the truth. We all know that Rhoda comes from a rich family. She's successful and has her own money. She is trying to do this so she can frustrate Damien.""Of course, no one in their right senses would give out their hard earned properties. She is just trying to taunt Damien so he can withdraw the divorce.""She's not going to get away with whatever selfish desires she has in her heart. I have a woman my heart beats for and no one can stop me from being with her, most especially not Rhoda." Damien said with so much determination in his voice.......................Melissa fed her son after which she took his bath bath for him, dressed him up for the night, and then talked him to bed.She exited Ryan's room and made her way back to the living room."I was about to make ramen. You want some?""I'm not sure what I want for dinner. I don't feel hungry." Melissa mumbled, approaching the table where the roses and gift bag were.Me

"Betty was furious. She heard some gossip and was ready to fight me.""What gossip?" Mel couldn't help but ask."People saw me and you holding hands so there were speculations"Silence."It's nothing bad, I think. Just speculations that there is a thing going on with us.""You don't have to worry. I'm going to clear the air tomorrow. No one has the right to ever disrespect you.""Say something. Please!" Dam pleaded."I don't know what to say but I guess it's fine. People will always say whatever it is they have to say. And you don't have to apologize. You were only worried about me. I most probably wouldn't have gone with you to your car if you hadn't pulled me along with you.""I still feel terrible for pulling you. Maybe I should have been more careful. I was......"Damien sighed. "I had no idea what I was thinking. I was angry, nervous and all over the place. I'm sorry.""I give you my word that I will clear the air in the office. No one is going to make you feel uncomfortable when

"How dare you pick that lunatic lady over me? What does she have that I do not? Why do you have to be so cruel?" Rhoda said at the top of her voice.."Let go of me." Damien whispered, trying his best to keep his cool."No! You might as well kill me since you've ruined me already. You piece of shit! I dedicated years of my life to you and this is how you discard me like I never meant anything to you."Damien's lawyer approached the duo, trying to separate them. Rhoda's lawyer too did the same thing. But Rhoda wasn't having it. Even Roland stood by Damien, trying to calm him down."Let go of me! This dude is nothing but evil. I need to deal with him my own way." Rhoda said to her lawyer who was pulling her way."This is so unfair. He's got everything, he's got my daughter and I got nothing." Rhoda said to Bob, her lawyer."I understand you are not cool with this Roe, but this is not the place to throw tantrums. The Judge could charge you for contempt for causing a fight in her courtroom

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.

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?!"

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."
