"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

"Melissa is having a baby? We are getting a baby sibling?" She guessed. "Yes, darling.""Cool. Is it a girl or a boy?""We don't know yet but we need to be prepared for either gender.""It's going to be so much fun living in the new house with the baby. I'm going to share my toys with him or her. I'll teach my baby sibling how to sing, and Ryan's gonna teach the baby how to dance."Damien's heart melted. "Sure! I look forward to seeing you all do all of that.""I'm so excited. But when will the baby come, Daddy?"Damien chuckled, "Excited much?"Rumi smiled shyly. "Yes, I cannot wait to meet him or her.""It's going to take a while.""How long?" She pouted."A couple of months.""Ohhh!" She put up a long face. "That's too far. I thought baby sibling would arrive next week."Damien couldn't help with the chuckle that escaped his lips. He couldn't help but think that his little girl was referring to her baby sibling as some package ordered from an online company."You don't have to be
