The Stranger's Baby Chapter 68
Earlier that morning.Rhoda was curled up on the sofa. She was typing furiously on her laptop when she suddenly stopped and reached for her phone by her side.She scrolled through her call log and dialed the 6th number on the list.It rang for a while before the person on the other end finally picked up. "Hello, Darling." The fatherly voice came through."Did you talk to Damien already? What did he say?""Yes, I did. He seemed to have made up his mind.""Come on, Ricky. How could you let go? This is insane. You really don't know that woman. She's evil, she's a gold digger. She doesn't like Damien. She is out there to ruin your son and his reputation. As his father, your priority should be to look after him even when he is too dumb to see it.""I understand you are angry dear, but there is almost nothing I can do. You of all people know how stubborn Damien is. I wish I had been involved before the divorce was finalized. The judgment has been made and there is almost nothing I can do ab

Tessie's eyes, the owner of the coffee, went wide. Not just because of the act done but to whom the act was done against. The Boss's ex-wife whom they all respected so much.If there was anything, She was glad she requested a warm coffee today."How dare you?!" Tracie saw Rhoda screech. She brought up her hand to hit Melissa on the cheek but Melissa held her hand still. The duo glared at each other for a couple of seconds before Melissa eventually shrugged Rhoda's hand away. By this time, the duo had even attracted more attention. Tessie could see a few people peep through the window of the office building. "You are forever going to regret messing with me, you slut!" Rhoda threw Melissa the deadliest glare ever."It's sad how you disrespect people and then you expect everyone to endure your bullshit and fall at your feet all because you are some shitty public figure?"Rhoda scoffed, trying not to get too irritated as coffee dripped down her face.Roe pointed at herself. "Me? Shitty p

Melissa said nothing. She watched as Damien took out his phone from his pocket and began to punch some buttons.She frowned, even though she had no idea what he was doing. She could see the seriousness in his face. "What are you doing?""I am trying to select a picture of you to post so that the whole world would know that I am yours and that I am off limits." Damien responded, his eyes glued to his phone."To post?""Yeah, I have a verified Instagram account. Just never posted anything on it. But seeing you on my page would shut the world up."Melissa frowned, asking the question that first came to her mind. "Where did you get my picture?"A shy smile crept to Damien's lips. "I have them.""How?" Melissa was curious since she hardly takes pictures of herself."Pictures from our business trip. I took them when you weren't looking.""Can I see?" Damien hesitated for a while but he eventually handed her the phone.Melissa scrolled through and saw about 17 pictures. Most were taken when

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Rhoda found herself getting angrier."What child? Did you all even investigate the right person? Today has been a terrible one already, don't act dumb and set your facts right.""B...but it's true, Ma'am." Doreen stammered. "I've gone through the report the PI gave. I know it's shocking but that's what we found.""Just shut the hell up! I consented to you all digging into the past of that gold digger so I can get my revenge against her but how dare you all drag my husband into this? Why would Damien have a child and I wouldn't know about it? Dam and I may be divorced but that doesn't give you all the right to defame him." Rhoda said at the top of her voice, wondering why everyone was hell bent on bringing out the worst in her today. She already felt threatened enough that Dam blindly picked Melissa over her, hearing of a child being involved was starting to traumatize her."Apologies ma'am but we aren't making things up. I'll forward the report

"And why the hell would I be used as a meme when I am the innocent one? I mean, that bitch drowned me with coffee.""Exactly!!! She drowned you with coffee and you looked ridiculous with your angry face.""So it's my fault for challenging the woman who ruined my home?""No, there is nothing wrong about that. It just happened at the wrong place and at the wrong time.""You are a public figure who has never failed to portray a perfect life before the public so it is normal for your move to be watched and criticized. I understand how you feel and I'm deeply sorry that all of this is happening. I just want you to know that you are way stronger than you think and this phase is going to pass. Please just come home and let me take care of you."Rhoda came to a halt, sniffling, not believing that tears were already welling up in her eyes. "Damien has a son.""A son? What the hell are you talking about?""Yeah, I just found out. A son with that bitch. That's why he was quick to discard me.""D

"Please talk to me. I don't want you keeping me in the dark." Melissa pouted."You're sounding as though I'm about to do something dangerous.""Well, maybe not but I would love to know what's on your mind. I understand that you can't stand anyone saying nasty stuff about me but I still believe there is no need to put any pictures or information out there except it is our will because the truth remains that, no matter what you say, people will believe what they want to."“You have a point but I'm still going to do all I can to protect you."Melissa smiled, she tiptoed and kissed his cheek. "I'm good! I know you wanna do all you can to make me feel safe in this relationship but I've always been a believer of the fact that the truth will always prevail regardless of anything and everything.""As long as you and I, as well as the kids, are cool, I believe nothing else matters."A small smile crept to Damien's lips. "This relationship? I had no idea we were in one already."Melissa blushed

Damien nodded."How? When?""The day after we visited the hospital. Are you mad at me?" He stared at her intently."There's no reason to be. I mean the whole world knows already. It just feels so...""Feels like what?""I don't know. He seemed really polite to me. Well, he had always been. I just don't want people to look at me as though I've got horns on my head."Damien chuckled. "That's not going to happen. They can only stare at you with so much adoration. He still doesn't know you are the mother of my son. But he would know from the interview."Melissa nodded. Her eyes met with the table. "Thank you for the gifts. You spoil me too much."Damien smiled. "This is nothing compared to the plans I've got for you."Mel shook her head, trying to hide her blush at the same time. "This wasn't what we agreed. I have your card so I'm going to get myself whatever it is that I crave."Dam nodded."I mean it." She groaned."Your wish is my command, babe." He kissed her forehead, even though he

"She can go to hell for all I care. It's you and Ryan I care about the most. Are you both okay?" Damien said at a go."Y....yes...we are good.""Get a safe place to park. I'll be with you all shortly." Damien said, ending the call since she already shared her location with him.Melissa did as he said. She drove slowly and parked on the opposite side of the road. She unbuckled her seatbelt, got down from the car, holding her phone, and then went to the back seat to check on her son.Mel took a glance at the opposite side where Rhoda had crashed into a tree. The road wasn't busy. A few cars passed, but Mel saw two strangers rush over to Rhoda."My love." Melissa could see tear stains on Ryan's cheek so she leaned closer and kissed his forehead."I was so scared, mommy. You wouldn't stop and you were saying those bad words.""I'm sorry, my love. Please forgive me." Melissa unbuckled Ryan from the car seat, carried him out of the car, and hugged him tightly.The little boy instantly wrapp

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
