It was midnight at Damian's mansion when Amelia suddenly woke up, feeling hungry.
"Hmm," she moaned. She was immediately surrounded by darkness when she opened her eyes.
She slowly stood up and walked without seeing anything until her foot hit the feet of a chair. "Ouch!" She reflexively touches her foot and massaged it.
"That hurt," she said to herself. Amelia continued to walk forward until she felt the switch of the lights in her hands and clicked it.
Now that the lights are opened, she was able to see her room clearly. 'I was too distracted earlier but now that I see this room clearly, it's too big' she thought and looked around the palace style bedroom that the butler prepared for her.
Amelia hears her stomach rumbling once again so she quietly leaves her room. 'Where is the kitchen?' she asked in her mind while walking. She didn't consider calling the maids since they should be sleeping this late at night and she would just be a bother to them.
Amelia looks around and saw a room at the end of the hallway that was emitting light with the door slightly opened. She walks towards it and decided to peek inside.
Amelia saw Damian sitting in his study with documents in front of him. 'He's still awake at this hour?' she asked in her mind as she stares at him whose hair was a bit disheveled as he kept rubbing it and his white shirt unbuttoned enough to see the top of his chiseled chest.
Damian felt the strong gaze of Amelia so he looked up and saw her staring at him with her clear, untainted, sunset eyes. Just like the first time they met, her eyes made him felt something he didn't felt before. An unknown emotion that slowly eats him away.
"Amelia" he called to her.
Amelia jolted from surprise and slowly walks to him. "What's wrong? Do you need anything?" Damian asks in his usual tone as he stops writing and puts down the document he's holding.
"I don't know where the kitchen is," Amelia says with her eyes looking down at her fidgeting hands.
"Are you hungry?" Damian asks.
Amelia turned pink and nodded. Just as Damian stood up, Amelia's stomach rumbled loudly. Damian looks at her slightly surprised at the sound and chuckled which made Amelia's cheeks turn red from embarrassment.
"The baby is really hungry," Damian said to lighten Amelia up.
'Embarrassing!' Amelia shouted in her mind.
Damian went ahead and Amelia followed him from behind while looking around and trying to remember the way. After a few minutes, Damian suddenly stopped which made Amelia bump into his back. 'Why did he suddenly stop?' she thought while holding her forehead.
"This is the kitchen," Damian said as he turns around and looks at Amelia.
'The kitchen is big too' she thought and walks towards the fridge to check if there is something she could eat.
"What do you want to eat?" Damian asked.
Amelia opens the fridge and sees a bucket of strawberry ice cream. "Ice cream!" She shouted, forgetting about Damian because of excitement.
"Ice cream?" Damian said.
Amelia pulls the ice cream from the fridge and puts it down on the counter. As she opens it, her eyes twinkle from excitement when she saw the pink-colored ice cream.
'She looks so excited' Damian thought when he notices the glimmer in her eyes.
Amelia opens the cabinets and drawers, looking for the eating utensils. Damian realizes it and pulls a drawer. He took a bowl and a spoon and placed it on the counter. "Here," he said.
"Thank you," Amelia said and puts ice cream on the bowl.
Amelia immediately started eating the ice cream after putting it on the bowl. "Hmmm" Amelia had a happy expression on her face right after tasting the ice cream.
'I want fries' she thought without realizing she said it out loud.
Damian who had sharp ears heard her whisper. "You want fries?" He asks.
Amelia looks up and stared at him. "How did you know?" She said, surprised.
Damian chuckles at her question, "My dear, you just said it" he said while smiling, amused by her.
"I did?" Amelia asked and gasped when she realizes she said it out loud.
"Hahaha" this time Damian laughs with his eyes. It wasn't his usual chuckles, he was really laughing this time. Amelia stares at him, mesmerized. It was the first time she saw him laughing.
"I'll call the chef," Damian said as he picks up his phone. Amelia stops him by touching his hand. "No, wait!"
Damian looks at her. "What?"
"Don't call. It's already midnight, the chef is probably sleeping already. It'll be an inconvenience for him" Amelia says.
Damian puts his phone down. "Okay," he said.
Amelia continued eating the ice cream. 'I'll just bear with this. I really wanted fries though' she thought. Amelia's gloomy expression was noticed by Damian. He picked his phone and dialed someone.
"Yes?" The man on the other side asked. It was his secretary who had just woken up to answer the call from his boss.
"Have someone deliver fries and two burgers to my house" Damian said.
"What? Right now?"
"Now"
"But-" before his secretary could complain, Damian hung up. Amelia looks at him with a questioning gaze as if asking who he called.
"That was my secretary," he said.
"I told you no need to bother," Amelia said as she ate a spoonful of ice cream.
"I was feeling hungry too," Damian said as an excuse to make her feel less burdened.
"He must have been sleeping," Amelia says, feeling sorry for his secretary.
"It's ok. I pay him for these things so he can't complain" Damian said and pocketed his phone.
"Let's go to the study. Bring the ice cream. You can eat there when the delivery man arrives"
After 30 minutes, his secretary arrived, holding two paper bags while making his way to the study of his boss.
He knocks the door three times before opening it. "Sir, this is just too much don-" he suddenly stopped talking when he sees Amelia sitting on the couch.
"What are you doing here? I thought I said just have it delivered by someone right?" Damian asked with annoyance in his voice.
"Sir, there are no fast-food chains that are willing to deliver this late at night," the secretary said as he places the paper bags on the table in front of Amelia.
'This must be her' the secretary thought as he looks at Amelia searching for her fries.
Damian felt a slight annoyance when his secretary stares at Amelia. "What are you doing? You can go now" he said with irritation.
The secretary walks away, dejected because of Damian's cold attitude towards him. 'Why is he always so mean to me. I wanna resign' he thought.
Amelia looks at Damian who is busy working while eating her fries dipped in ice cream.'Handsome' she thought but blushed when she realizes what she just said in her mind.Damian suddenly remembers something and opens the drawer in his table. He pulls something from it and places it on top of his table.Just when he was about to call Amelia, she calls his name. "Mr. Damian," she said while fidgeting."Just call me Damian," He says before adding, "What is it?""W-what do you plan on doing once I give birth?" Amelia asks. Although nervous, she mustered up the courage to ask him."I was about to say it to you," Damian says and picks up the small box. He stood up and sat in front of her."Here," he said as he handed the box to her. Amelia took it and as she opens it, what was inside the box was a ring."What is this for?" She asks, getting straight to the point."It's an engagement ring. From now on, I'll be introducing you as my fiancée" Damian said with his legs crossed and his back lean
Amelia woke up with the light from the window staining her face.She sits up and saw Helga and Maisy fixing her clothes. They noticed that Amelia woke up and smiled."Young madam, you're awake," Helga said."Young madam, your eyes are swollen," Maisy said with a worried look on her face."Oh my, Maisy, go get the ice pack," Helga said, now noticing Amelia's very swollen eyes.Amelia touched her eye, "is it that bad?" She asks."Very!" Helga and Maisy said in unison.Amelia stood up and walked to the vanity. She saw her bloodshot eyes that looked as if she didn't sleep for days."Oh no," she whispered to herself."A-am I having breakfast with him?" Amelia asks.The two maids looked at each other before looking at Amelia again."Of course, young madam" Maisy said."U-um. Can I have my breakfast in my room?""If the young madam wants to then, of course, you can," Helga said and smiled.Damian was, as always, busy with work when someone knocked on the door of his study. "Come in," he said
Amelia closes the door of her bedroom and walked to the main entrance of the mansion. There, she saw Damian waiting while leaning on the side of his car.Damian noticed her and stared at her. Amelia's yellow dress made her beauty stand out even more. Her snow-white skin looked as if it was glowing and her clear sunset eyes reflected Damian who is in front of her. Damian looks at her slowly walking towards him."Hi," Amelia said with a meek voice as she's feeling shy."You look beautiful" Damian's compliment made Amelia blush. Her cheeks and ears were red and she looked away to avoid his burning gaze."T-thank you," she says.Damian opens the door of the passenger seat for her. After seating on the driver's seat, Damian closes the door."Seatbelt," he said calmly.Amelia wrapped the seatbelt around her and locked it."Where are we going?" Amelia asks."You'll see when we get there," Damian said.After a few minutes, they arrived at the restaurant. It was a restaurant owned by one of Da
Amelia woke up after hearing Damian's call. She looks at him whose hand was on her shoulder."We're here," Damian said. He already opened the door when he woke her up."Hmm" Amelia answered. She stood up but felt dizzy so she staggered and quickly held onto the door of the car. Damian immediately helped her by holding her shoulders."Are you okay?" He asked. Amelia felt weak and instead of talking, she only managed to nod.Damian notices her pale face. He picked her up and carried her like a bride. Amelia didn't care anymore. She was feeling sick so she couldn't refuse him. Amelia rested her head on Damian's chiseled chest. She felt comfortable and without knowing it, she fell asleep.Damian looks at Amelia while walking towards her room. She was already sleeping with a peaceful expression on her face. For a moment, Damian felt something. Looking at her relaxed face, a curve formed on his lips."You're too defenseless" He whispered and stared meaningfully at Amelia.Damian laid Amelia
Helga opens the door of Amelia's room and sees her playing with her phone."Madam Lia" She called.Amelia turned her head and saw Helga bowing to her. "Ah! There's no need to bow" Amelia says, feeling uncomfortable seeing someone much older bowing to her.Helga stopped and smiled, knowing how Amelia felt. "Ok, madam Lia""Your dinner is ready" Helga added.Amelia quickly stood up, feeling excited to eat. She didn't get to eat lunch because she vomited so she was feeling really famished.After arriving at the dining room, she quickly sat down. Amelia notices the empty seat at the head of the table where Damian usually sat."Master has a visitor. Should I call for him, Lia?" Maisy asks, noticing Amelia staring at the seat.Amelia turns her head to Maisy. "Oh no! He must be busy. Let's not disturb him" Amelia says and looks at the food in front of her."I'm not busy," A voice said. Amelia turns and sees Damian with Arthur smiling beside him."You should've called for me," Damian said to A
It was time for Damian to depart to the airport for his flight. Amelia was standing on the doorway with the butler and her maids seeing Damian off."I'll be gone for 3 days. Take care of yourself and our baby. Do you remember what I told you last night?" Damian asks, making sure Amelia remembers his reminders.Damian's secretary looks at him with confusion. '3 days? But his schedule says a week. How is he going to go back in 3 days?' he thought and rechecked Damian's schedule, making sure he wasn't mistaken. And he really was not."Yes," Amelia said as she nods."Good," Damian said, patting Amelia's head. He sighs, feeling very concerned about leaving Amelia. 'I could still take her with me' Damian considered the thought.Damian opens his arms wanting to receive a hug from Amelia. Amelia looks at him, a baffled expression was painted on her face."Aren't you going to give me a hug? You're not going to see me for days" Damian said.Amelia looks at her maids, Maisy was squealing and Helg
Amelia and Tara enter a boutique full of baby stuff with Iago following them closely from behind. Iago whispered in his earpiece that they were about to enter a boutique and told the others to guard the area around it."Wahhh! Look at this Lia! Isn't it so cute!" Tara said with excitement in her voice as she pulls a small lion onesie for babies.Amelia's eyes shone when she saw the jumpsuit. "It is!" she shouted excitedly.A girl walks towards them, dressed in a uniform for salesladies. She showed a professional smile and bowed to them. "Good afternoon, may
"Oh my, what do you have there?" Tara asked when they returned to where she is."A thank you gift, for Damian," Amelia said, turning pink."Oooh""Oh, by the way, here," Tara said, giving Amelia a mountain of dresses."Try all of them" She added."Now?" Amelia asked, looking at the mountain of clothes."Yes, right now" Tara smiling mischievously. Tara knew her friend doesn't really take interest in clothes so she would take advantage of this opportunity to play dress-up with her friend.After a few hours of trying on clothes, Tara was finally able to pick a dress for Amelia."Are we finally done now?" Amelia asks, finally sick of trying clothes."Yes, don't worry," Tara said and laughs at Amelia's annoyed face.Tara gave Iago the paper bag for him to carry as they left the boutique."You should go home now, Lia," Tara said."You should go with us. We'll send you home" Amelia offered."No thanks, I still have to go somewhere," Tara said. "Go home now, Lia. It's getting quite late" She a
