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 leaning on the couch.
"What?" Amelia said with confusion in her eyes.
"We're going to get married after you give birth" Damian added.
Amelia looks at the ring with uncertainty hidden in her orange eyes.
"Even though you don't love me?" She asks, her eyes glued on to the ring.
"Love?" Damian's brows creased at the unusual question. "I don't do that sort of thing. I'm just taking responsibility for the mistake that I made. Isn't that enough?" Damian said with confidence and indifference in his voice.
"I see," Amelia said. Growing up, Amelia had always thought marriage is between people who love each other. She had always dreamt of a marriage life like her parents. She grew up watching her parent's endless love for each other and she hoped her future husband would love her just as she would love him. 'Who knew it would be like this' she thought as her dreams were shattered by what Damian said. Without realizing it, Amelia was already clenching her fist.
Damian notices Amelia had become quiet. "Amelia?" He called.
"H-huh?" She said and looks up after hearing Damian call for her.
"What's wrong? You suddenly became quiet" Damian asks.
"Nothing...." Amelia said and waves her hands while trying to smile. "I-I'm going back to my room. I'm feeling sleepy" Amelia said, trying her best to show a smile.
"Ok. Go to sleep," Damian says as he stands up.
Amelia stands up, walks to the door with the box in her hand, and was about to open the door when Damian stopped her. "Amelia"
She turns around and looks at him.
"Goodnight. Sweet dreams" he said with such gentle and care in his eyes that she almost wavered, again.
"You too" that was all Amelia could manage to say. She wanted to leave the room as fast as she could. She opened the door and quickly shut it.
She walked quickly to her room, as fast as her legs could take, trying hard not to run as she was considering the baby's health.
After she entered her room and shut the door, Amelia completely lost all energy and slumps down by the door. She sighed heavily, trying to lessen the weight on her chest. Amelia felt her tears coming so she hugs her legs and hid her face.
'I feel pathetic' she said in her mind, recalling the words Damian had said.
While silently crying and trying her best not to make a sound, she remembers Damian's gentle and caring eyes that seemed as if she was a vase that could easily break. Those eyes made her heart waver. 'How is he so kind and hurtful at the same time?' she asked in her mind as she sniffled.
Amelia felt weak and helpless. There was no use regretting her decisions since it won't change the present but she couldn't help it. Her fiance's hurtful attitude towards her made her upset so she couldn't help but cry. She continued to cry and wiped her persistent tears. 'I miss my parents' she suddenly thought which made her cry even more.
She slowly stood up after minutes of crying and laid down on her bed. "My eyes will be swollen tomorrow," she said to herself.
Amelia looks at the little child beside her. “Are you ready to go on a picnic?” she asked her blonde haired son.“Yes!” Jin replied enthusiastically.“Hey, is everything ready?” Damian said, peeking inside the room where the mother and child were.“Yes, we’re ready!” Jin replied to his mother.“Someone’s very excited” Damian commented and ruffled his son’s hair as they both walk out of the room.Amelia giggled at the sight before closing the door and following behind the two boys. Damian took the bag where Jin’s stuff is from her and held her hand.Jin noticed his parents and decided to hold his mother’s other hand with a big smile on his face.They all walked to where the car was and all entered the back seat with Iago driving for them. Jin couldn’t handle the excitement and decided to tell everyone in the car
Damian paces back and forth by the door inside of the room where Amelia was as she gives birth along with a few midwives to help her. He hadn’t had the courage to walk near her as he felt awkward and unsure of what to do. Even though Amelia was focusing on pushing, she caught her pacing fiancé by the door and she would have laughed at the sight if she wasn’t in labor but instead, she got annoyed.“Damian Castillo, I swear to god if you don’t come here and hold my hand, I will break up with you!” she shouted, not something she was used to doing. It was completely out of character but it was enough to make his anxious fiancé stop his pacing and immediately walk towards her and hold her hand.“There, there,” Amelia said, calming Damian down as she strokes his hands with her thumb, all while she tries her hardest to push like what the midwives tell her.“I’ve never seen someone calming t
Damian walks to the front door of his mansion. He opens the door and Alfred immediately greeted him and took his coat and his tie for him. Damian walks to his room with a smile on his face. He finally arrives, he opens the door and was greeted by a wide smile on Amelia’s face.“Damian! You’re back” she said as she attempted to get up but was immediately stopped by Damian.“Stop, don’t even try to stand up,” he said as he walks towards Amelia to give her a kiss on the forehead.Amelia pouted. “I was shot, not paralyzed” Amelia sighed, knowing that she won’t win against Damian.Amelia exhaled loudly. “I never want to get shot again” she complained which made Damian chuckle.“You better hold on to what you said,” Damian said with a smile as he removes his clothes while walking to the bathroom.“I really will” Amelia muttered silentl
Amelia walks with Damian towards the park that Damian had told her, with their hands intertwined. Damian was carrying the picnic basket that the maids had prepared for them before leaving. He had insisted that they be left alone with only Iago as their guard on their small picnic as they wanted some privacy and because he was certain that they would be safe.After picking a shaded spot on the grass, Damian laid the yellow picnic mat on the grass, then Amelia sat down and pulled the food out of the basket before placing it on the blanket.“It’s quite sunny today,” Amelia said, covering her eyes as she looks at the clouds.“Yes, it’s not really my favorite weather,” Damian said as he sliced a portion of the apple pie that Jack had baked for them and placed it on Amelia’s plate.Amelia gave a small giggle. “Well, you’re very gloomy so of course you’re not going to like sunny weathe
A few hours had passed and Amelia and Damian were already at home, eating their dinner while discussing some things regarding Ivote and Grey.“So, they’re going to be imprisoned right?” Amelia asks, looking at Damian.“Yes, I’ll be making sure they’re going to stay there forever” he replied with an assuring smile.Amelia only nodded before continuing to eat her meal. After a few minutes, the two finished and headed to their room to do their nightly routines. Damian headed first to the bathroom so Amelia decided to open the television to entertain herself while she waited.The news started playing which caused Amelia’s eyebrows to knit together in confusion.“After being accused of attempted murder, embezzlement, tax fraud, bribery, and many more, Mr. Ivote, a known businessman, has now gone into hiding. Police officers are now attempting to locate the criminal and bring him in for qu
“Have you been experiencing cravings yet?” Amelia asked as she takes a bite of the main dish.“Oh yes, my cravings had gotten worse these days. I usually can’t sleep properly because I get sudden cravings” Calia replied after swallowing the food that was in her mouth.“And then she wakes me up to buy her fast food in the middle of the night or at 3 am in the morning” Aeric added with a teasing smile directed to his wife.Calia glared at her husband. “Are you saying I’m a bother?” Aeric immediately tried to appease his angered wife.“Of course not! You’re never a bother to me, darling” Aeric said, placing a kiss on Calia’s cheek, therefore, calming her.Amelia smiles at the two warmly. ‘It’s nice to see Cal being so happy’ she thought to herself.“Don’t worry Cal, I also often bothered Damian in the middle of the
