The Stranger's Baby Chapter 72
"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

She blushed, grateful that he was by her side at this very crucial moment."What legacy if I may ask?" Damien teased."We are automatically role models, so we need to set good examples. Plus, I got an email from the school that Ryan's bill has been paid upfront till graduation. The least I can do is to work and earn money to support my family.""I understand you, but you are in a very crucial period, so you need not put so much pressure on yourself. You will still get paid regardless of if you want or not.""I know. You spoil me so much, and it's heartwarming, but actually doing the work would give me a sense of responsibility, and I would appreciate it if you respect that."Damien nodded, with a small smile hanging on his lips. "Did you all have breakfast? We can stop somewhere for food before heading to our destination.""Yes, Emily made sure of that cos I got meds to take.""Daddy, why is the car not moving? I think I'm going to be late. I want to see my sister."Melissa chuckled.

Damien wasn't expecting to see any familiar face where he was headed; especially at this time of the night. He reduced his pace, walking slowly, when he saw his mother sitting on a chair outside the ward described to him to be Rhoda's ward.Vicky rose to her feet when she saw her son approach her with worry all over his face."What are you doing here? Where's Rumi?" He said, coming to a stop before Vicky, hoping that she didn't bring his girl along."Rumi is fine. She's home with Betty. Eliana called me to inform me of what happened. I had to rush down here.""Where is she and what did she tell you?" She's inside with Rhoda."I had dinner with Michelle. I was on my way home when I got a call from Eliana. I know you and Rhoda aren't on good terms, but the truth remains that she's the mother of my granddaughter, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to come see how she's fairing. I was close by so it was easier to come here. Eliana only told me Rhoda crashed into a tree. She didn't go into deta

"The thought that you left me because I didn't give you a male child kept eating me up. I felt sad and bitter. I felt I lost to her and refused to believe that the child was truly yours.""You think I would love him more than Rumi just because he is a boy?""And even if you were in doubt about this, couldn't you have confronted me about it instead of going to her? You knew there was a restraining order that forbids you from going close to her and yet you kept doing what you aren't supposed to do.""Our marriage wasn't working. It was obvious that we didn't love each other. Never for once did I call you out in public for being a terrible wife, person, or mother. I decided it was best we part ways but you made it all difficult.""And since when did you start caring about Rumi? You go months without seeing her and here you are, suddenly concerned about her brother taking all that rightfully belongs to her!""I know I acted crazy. I'm sorry.""I know I wasn't the best wife or mother but l

A few days later.Damien got off work early today to spend some time with his daughter. They had dinner together; he watched some episodes of her favorite cartoons with her, after which it was time to go to bed.He got her ready and then tucked her to bed.Damien placed a deep kiss on Rumi's forehead before taking a seat on the bed by her side."Daddy, Where's Mommy?"Damien swallowed painfully. "Why do you ask? You miss her?"Rumi looked so unsure. "Did she travel again?"Damien shook his head, wondering how to begin a proper conversation with his little girl. He hadn't told her about the divorce either and wasn't sure what to expect."Actually, your mom isn't feeling well."Rumi sat up on the bed with a sad face. "Mommy is sick?""Please don't cry," Damien said with pleading eyes. He saw that her eyes were starting to get heavy with tears."I saw her a few days ago; she is getting better, so you've got nothing to worry about.""But why didn't you tell me Mommy is sick?" She said, tr

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?!"

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.

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
