Melissa couldn’t stop smiling as she sat at the back of the taxi, looking outside the window, at nothing in particular, as she was engrossed with her beautiful thoughts. Today was Zion’s birthday and she was heading over to his place to surprise him. Mel had no idea why she felt so excited as though it was her birthday.After what felt like a forever journey, Melissa arrived at her destination. She paid the taxi man and got down with three gift bags. She made her way into Zion’s apartment building and took the elevator up to his floor.She brought out a key from her purse, unlocked the door, and helped herself in.Hardly had Mel taken five steps into Zion’s apartment when she heard noises. She stopped in her tracks, the smile on her face slowly fading away. It wasn’t just any noise but sounds of moans and grunts.Melissa unconsciously let go of all three gift bags, letting them fall to the floor. They were filled with gifts for her boyfriend. She had even ordered some food and cake wh
“Come on, don’t be a party pooper. I didn’t bring you all the way here to keep thinking about that asshole.” Emily said through the loud music, playing in the background.“Yeah, it’s easy for you to say. You never liked Zion so you’re probably laughing at me in your head.” Melissa said, taking sips of alcohol from her cup.Emily sighed, occupying the high stool close to where her younger sister was sitting.“Look babe, I understand how you feel. You just got betrayed by a guy you dated for years and your so-called best friend. Of course, no one in his or her right senses would feel happy about that. I know you feel like a fool right now and all sorts but I promise you that those two idiots deserve each other.”“I forced you to come to the club with us because there’s no point in being sad because of them. Those bitches aren't worth your tears or worry.”“That’s not the point. I just feel so stupid.”Emily smiled sadly. She stretched her hand towards Melissa’s revealed lap and gave it
It was a hassle migrating to the VIP area because of the crowd but Melissa eventually got there. She gave an excuse to the bouncer securing the area, lying that she was with the stranger man, and then went straight to him.Coming to a halt where he was, He was about to take more sips of alcohol when she took the cup from him and placed it on a nearby table.Before Damien could question her presence or actions, Melissa sat on his lap and slowly started straddling him.Damien wanted to push her away but he lost it the moment Melissa’s fat ass collided with his dick through his pants.A knowing smirk crept to her lips when she felt his bulge against her. That triggered her confidence, making her increase her pace in straddling him.Melissa eventually adjusted herself on his lap, to his side so that she could see his face on a much closer level. Her breath hitched. He had the most beautiful features that she had ever seen in a man, his hair was perfectly styled and his eyes were so beauti
Five Years LaterMelissa groaned from her sleep the moment she felt someone jumping on her bed.“Come on, Ryan. Let mommy have a sound sleep.” She mumbled, not opening her eyes.“No Mommy, you have to stand up.” The little boy didn’t even slow down with the way he was bouncing on the bed. “Aunt Milly said you are going to be late for your interview.”Melissa groaned, knowing he was right.“Okay. Just give me five more minutes and I will be up.”“No Mommy. I want you to take my bath for me.”“Ryan!!!” She groaned.Melissa heaved a small sigh when she felt him stop jumping. Before she could fully enjoy the peace, She felt her little boy shower kisses across her face, making her smile.“Okay, okay, I’m up.” Melissa opened her eyes.“Good Morning, Mommy.” Ryan grinned at her.Mel sat up and pulled her Son into a warm hug, crowning it with a deep kiss on his forehead.“Good morning, baby. Did you sleep well?”“Yes, mommy.” He grinned.“Are you still tired?” She saw Ryan ask with so much co
Melissa snapped back to reality, her eyes met with the elevator that was almost coming to a close. She rushed in there and was glad that the door came to a close before anyone else could join them.There were about six other people in the elevator, two were on their phones while the others didn’t seem to have Melissa’s time. She was about to press the 4th-floor button when she realized that someone had pressed it.As the elevator started going up, Mel tried to catch her breath, not believing all that just happened. Her stained blazer was clung to her left arm while she held her handbag on her right hand.Her head was a mess already and all she wanted to do was to crawl into her bed and put her thoughts together. She was already late for her interview and wasn’t in the best frame of mind. In as much as Mel would do anything to be in her house right now, she knew she had to attempt the interview.The elevator came to a stop on the fourth floor. Three other people got out before she fina
“Hi hi..hey.. excuse me.”“Damn!!!” Damien cursed as the door to the elevator got shut in his face. He pressed the button continuously a couple of times hoping the door was going to open but it didn’t.“Fuck!” He cursed, going back to face Betty who looked scared and confused as to what was going on.“What the hell happened?” He asked her again.“I don’t know. I was rushing, she was rushing and we hit each other. It wasn’t on purpose.”“I’ve told you to always stay careful but you never listen to me.”“What’s going on? Do you know her before?”“Do I need to know her before I spot what's wrong?”“Come on, it was a mistake and I apologized but you seem even more angry than the victim.”“Why am I even here talking to you?” Damien made his way back to the ground floor reception.“Good Morning, Sir.” The receptionist instantly rose to her feet the moment Damien approached her desk.“A lady just walked in. Black dress, black blazer, honey blond hair that stops almost at the waist. She shoul
“I told you I want to sleep. The least you could do is to let me have some privacy.” Melissa groaned, burying her face deeper into the pillow the moment Emily entered her room.Emily ignored Lisa’s words and sat beside her on the bed.“I really want to let you be but I just can’t. I have never seen you this freaked out and it terrifies me.”“Can you please face me so we can talk?”“If it’s about today's experience. I don’t want to talk about it so can you please respect my decision?”“I am not here to talk about the interview. Just sit up and face me.”Melissa sighed, slowly doing as her sister requested. The duo were facing each other now.“Your outburst today just reminded me that we never had a proper conversation about that night.”Melissa groaned. “No Emily, please don’t talk about the stranger. I don’t want to hear it.”“This is not about him. This is about our sisterly relationship.”“Then you’ve got nothing to worry about. I’m the one who slept with a stranger and refused to t
It was almost 8 pm by the time Damien got home with his daughter. He made the little girl something to eat, took a bath for her, and then put her to bed.“Are you sad?” He asked Rumi who nodded against her pillow. He was sitting beside her as she lay on her back.“I miss Silvia.”“I’m sorry your mommy fired her. I had no idea about it and I’m sorry we were late to pick you up from school.”“I will try my best and talk her into coming back and if she refuses, that means we are gonna find you another nanny.”“I don’t want another nanny. I want Silvia.” The little girl mumbled.“I will do something about it.”“Promise?” She stared at her father with pleading eyes.”“Yes, princess.”“But you will have to stay with grandma until Silvia comes back, okay?”Rumi nodded.“Your teacher said you all got a new kid in the class that looks like me.”“Yes, Daddy. Everyone thinks he’s my brother.”“Do you think he looks like me?”Rumi sat up and stared closely at her Daddy’s face as though this was t
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
