Amelia got up from the bed and did her usual morning routine. Afterward, she went downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Good morning sweetie" her mother greeted her.
"Where's dad?" Amelia asks.
"He went to work earlier than usual. He had an important meeting"
Amelia sat down and ate the breakfast her mother prepared for her. She felt relieved to see that there were no eggs today so she didn't need to pretend to not be sick.
After eating, Amelia immediately went to her room and secretly ate the pills that Damian bought for her. After that, she fixed her bag for school and left the house.
While walking, she felt Tara's arms around her neck. "Liaaaaa~" her friend cheerfully said.
"Tara, be careful"
Tara remembers that her friend was now a pregnant woman so she immediately let's go and apologized to her. "Sorry. I forgot" she said.
"It's okay," Amelia says and pats Tara's head.
Tara, then, linked arms with Amelia as she felt it's the most the safest thing to do while still being affectionate.
"By the way, your husband texted me earlier this morning," Tara said. Amelia felt her face flushed and quickly denies what her friend said.
"He's not my husband"
Tara made a teasing face at Amelia. "Is that so. Anyway, he told me to watch you and guard you so that you and the baby will be safe. And to absolutely prevent you from getting into any accidents"
"I see," Amelia says and looks down with her face colored in scarlet, and her lips curved in a smile. 'There's no need to do that' she thought but secretly likes the feeling of him being so caring.
Tara notices her blushing face so she decided to tease her friend even more. "You're so loved by your husband, Amelia"
Amelia's face reddened even more and she looks at Tara with an embarrassed expression.
"He's not my husband, Tara! Stop teasing me" she said and pouts unknowingly. Tara laughs at her adorable expression and hugs her head.
"I get it. Sorry for teasing you" She said. 'Amelia is so cute. I'm not ready to give her away yet' Tara thought while caressing the back of Amelia's head.
Shortly after that, they arrived in school. After they arrived in the classroom, Tara asks "Lia, are you going to accept his offer?"
Amelia stops for a moment before answering, "I don't know yet"
"I think you should," Tara says while putting her bag down. "I mean, think about it, it would be better for the baby to grow with a father right? Plus, it looks like he's really serious about taking responsibility for the two of you. And also, he's handsome so that adds a lot of points" Tara said with her cheeks resting on her hands.
Amelia sighs before saying, "I'm just not sure about his intentions. What if he's going to take my baby? Or what if he has a lover? And if I'm going to accept his offer, that means I have to leave school"
Tara also sighs "that's true," she says.
"But I am considering his offer. He's right. I can't raise the baby by myself" Amelia said.
Tara felt guilty as it is her fault that Amelia got pregnant. If only she didn't push her to go to a bar, Lia wouldn't have gotten entangled in this mess.
Amelia felt the sad gaze of her friend. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She pats Tara's head before saying, "It's not anyone's fault. So don't make that kind of face"
"Too kind. You're too kind, Lia. I don't deserve your kindness" Tara says dramatically.
Amelia laughs sweetly. "What are you saying"
After classes ended, they both decided to stop by a cafe to spend some time. Tara orders a milkshake while Amelia chose to drink a strawberry milkshake.
"Lia, you sure you want that? You don't like strawberries. You said they taste too sweet" Tara said.
"Yes, I want it," Amelia said and took a sip of the strawberry milkshake. It was delicious. She never knew it could taste that great.
Tara notices the excited look on Amelia's face when she took a sip of the milkshake. 'I guess this is what you call pregnancy cravings' she thought.
"Slow down. You might choke" Tara reminded her.
Amelia only nodded as an answer and went ahead to enjoying her drink.
Tara received a text from Damian asking if Amelia got home safely.
: She's not home yet. We're at a cafe.
: Send me the address.
Tara sent the address to Damian and after a short while, Damian arrived in his luxurious car.
'Wha- he's here' Tara thought. 'The husband is too strong. Too strong'
Amelia on the other hand had no idea that Damian came. She also didn't see his car since her back was facing the parking lot.
Damian enters the cafe and his eyes immediately search for Amelia. He walks towards her and calls her name. "Amelia," he said.
Amelia's eyes widened after hearing Damian's voice. She quickly turns and Damian's gentle face greeted her. "Wha-What are you doing here?"
"Am I not allowed to be here?" He asks secretly teasing her.
"That's not what I meant!" She quickly said.
Damian smiles and chuckles. "I'm just kidding. I'm here to pick you up"
'There's no need to' she said in her mind with her face flushed.
"Let's go"
"Tara how about you?" Amelia asks.
"I'll go home by myself. I don't wanna be the third wheel" she said and said goodbye to Amelia.
"How was your day?" Damian asks while driving.
"Fine" Amelia said. She suddenly remembered about Damian's offer to her.
"About your offer"
"What about it?" He asked.
"I'm going to accept it," she said.
"Okay. When are you going to move in?" He asks.
"After a few days, school is going to end so somewhere around that"
"Hmm" Damian replied with her deep voice.
"A-and..."
Damian looks at her with her fidgeting hands. "Do you want to say something?"
"What's going to happen after I give birth?" She asks.
Damian immediately understood what she wants to say. "I don't know yet. We'll see when we get there"
Amelia looks down at her hands and slightly nods. 'I hope he won't take away my baby' she thought, her maternal instincts taking over her emotions.
Unconsciously, her hand touches her stomach, protecting it as if someone would try to hurt her baby.
Damian didn't notice Amelia and kept driving. After a while, they arrived. But, Damian parked 10 steps aways from Amelia's house.
Damian was about to get up when Amelia stopped him. "Wait. I can get out by myself" she says and quickly exited the car.
'okay,' he said, answering her in his mind.
A few days passed and school ended. Amelia told her parents that she accepted the internship from the company."Are you really sure about this?" Her mother asks."Yes""Be careful, okay?" Her father reminded her.Amelia nodded as a reply and continues to pack her things. After packing, she went downstairs and saw Damian waiting for her."You ready?" He asks."Hm" Amelia replied and nodded."Let's go" Damian took the luggage Amelia was holding and they went to the car.Her parents were sad to see their daughter off. They didn't want her to intern but if it's for the sake of their daughter, they are willing to do anything.While driving, Damian notices the sad expression on Amelia's face. "What's wrong?" He asks.Amelia looks at him, "huh?" She asks before realizing what he meant."I just feel bad. For lying" she said while looking down on her restless hands."Would you rather tell them, then?" He asked."That-" she said and cuts herself off. There is no way she could ever tell them that
Helga opened the door and it revealed the huge dining table with Damian sitting at the head of it. Damian looks at her and smiled. "I've been waiting for you. Sit" he said and patted the chair beside him.Amelia walks towards the table and sat down at the chair beside him. "How do you like your room?" He asked."It's beauti-" Amelia stopped when she smelled the disgusting smell of egg. "Bleugh!" She starts to gag so she covered her mouth to prevent herself from vomiting."Master, here, a bucket!" The maids shouted and gave him a bucket. He took it and quickly placed it in front of her. "Amelia, vomit. Just let it go" he said. Amelia then vomited in the bucket.While she vomits, Damian caresses Amelia's back. "I'm sorry. I forgot to tell the chef about eggs"Amelia wiped her lips with a napkin after vomiting. Helga gave her a glass of water and she took it. After drinking the water she smiles at Damian. "It's okay. I'm sorry to have ruin your appetite" Amelia says while smiling gently.
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
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
