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 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
The servants all looked at Amelia who was eating. Amelia felt better now that she had people who are eating with her."May I ask all of your names?" Amelia said as she puts down the spoon that she was holding."I'm Amy, young madam," the maid with light brown hair said."My name is Lily, young madam" the maid sitting beside Amy said."I'm Rosieanne, young madam, Anne for short" The maid with blue hair said.
