"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."

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

"I suspect that she would have given Dad some wrong information," Betty said with so much worry in her eyes."I won't be surprised. Anything to make her look good." Damien mumbled.Seeing that the phone had been ringing for a while, Damien decided to answer the call. He slowly brought the phone to his ear."What is going on, Damien? What's with all these rumors I'm hearing?" Ricky Rolas' stern voice came through."I don't know what you are talking about," Damien said confidently as his sister stared at him with nothing but worry in her eyes."Don't you dare play with my emotions? I know you know what I'm talking about." Ricky said with gritted teeth. "Why did you divorce Rhoda? What the hell has come over you? Do you know what that could cause to your reputation?""I'm well aware of my decision so I will bear whatever consequences it comes with.""I don't understand you. What the hell has come over you? Who is that lady you are in love with? What is her name? What does she do? What fa

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.

"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

"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.

"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.

"Was I that loud, I'm so sorry?"Emily sighed, massaging her temple. "You fucking scared me.

"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?

"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."
