Damian tried all he could to pacify me, to no avail. I do not want to talk to him. I do not want to hear him out. I want to spit on his face.
For telling me how to love Luna. For undermining my love for my daughter.
A part of me says he is partly right, that I am putting ego over saving Luna. I refuse to believe it. Damian can go away, and we are sure to find another donor before Luna gets worse.

You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 49: Corbin Hale Is A Dead Man
ARIAI pick up my bag for the second time and want to walk out.I have had enough; I have heard enough. But what I truly never expected was the display of shock by Damian. I sincerely believed he knew, or at least had an idea of the true identity of Victoria.Sitting here to watch his lips part in awe, and his body tremble, was never part of what I envisaged.He believed them. The pains, sorrows, hardships and struggles I passed through alone could have been avoided if he listened to me. But he never did. And now, he wants forgiveness. Just like that.I drop my bag on the table and stare at him. “Can you remember when I walked into this same office that day, telling you my father developed a stroke?”He doesn’t respond. His head is bowed, pressed into his hands.“Can you also remember how I walked in
You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 48: The Confession I Can’t Hold Any Longer
DAMIANI’ve said it a hundred times over the last few weeks, each time she berates me, each time she tells me I hurt her.I say: One day, I’ll tell you everything. There is no right time left to wait for. Luna is my daughter. It sounded unreal when I read it on the test result. But now, with Aria’s confirmation, I have nothing more stopping me.I decide to tell her everything. She deserves to know exactly what happened. Why I left her at the Altar six years ago.Just then, the door clicks open, and my uncle walks in. I notice the way Aria looks at him, as if he reminds her of something. I know exactly what it is, because he was supposed to be the father-of-the-day at our wedding six years ago.“Hi Aria!” He greets, “It’s been a long time coming. How have you been?”
You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 47: She Is Back
ARIAI’m barely out of the office door, still shaking from everything just said between us, when my phone buzzes in my hand.A notification. But beneath it is a message from an unknown number. My stomach drops before I have even opened it.Even if he knows, don’t confirm Luna’s paternity. Not yet. Not ever, if you want to keep her safe. I check the timestamp: forty minutes ago. Meaning the message was sent immediately after I entered Damian’s office, though I didn’t notice it.I stop dead in the hallway, staring at the screen, the words dancing before my eyes. I look around me; everywhere, the only people I see are staff moving up and down, going about their business.Nobody seems to be watching. Nobody. Yet, there is someone who monitors my movements, even my thoughts. This same person knew I was walking
You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 46: My First Clash
ARIAI text Damian twice in the afternoon. Nothing.I call once, letting it ring through to voicemail, and don’t leave a message, because I don’t trust what would come out of my mouth if I tried.Unlike Damian, who would pick up my call three seconds into the first ring, I get nothing till evening. And that alone confirms that he knows exactly what he is doing.As dusk approaches, the fury in me curls into something closer to dread. I sit at my kitchen table as I prepare Luna’s food, my phone face-up in front of me, watching it stay dark, waiting for it to light up with a ring and his name- nothing.I think maybe he is in a meeting with the board, crisis with the audit, something urgent enough to justify not answering the mother of his daughter after he secretly tested her.None of these explanations satisfy me. All of them ter
You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 45: Someone Already Conducted A Test Before Damian Did
ARIA“So, if the improvement we are looking out for is visible by Friday,” the doctor says, flipping through Luna’s chart, “we’re looking at discharge sometime early next—”Her pager buzzes sharply against her hip. She glances at it and stands immediately, reacting to whatever it is.“I’m so sorry, Miss Cole, I have to go. There’s a cardiac arrest case two floors up; they need me now.” She’s already moving. “Please wait here, I’ll be back as soon as I possibly can.”I rub my face. “Alright.”She’s gone before the next second, moving like a flash out of the door as it swings shut behind her. I am left alone in the quiet of her office.I sit for a few minutes, scrolling absently through my phone, trying not to think too hard about the way Damian showed up at our house last night.My eyes drift, unfocused, across the desk, and that’s when I see it.A folder, half open, sitting slightly askew where the doctor left it. A header visible at the top of the topmost page.Genetic Paternity Anal
You Left Me At The Altar, Now You Beg Me CHAPTER 44: Damian’s First Visit To My Home
ARIA“There you are.” My father gestures at the television with his left hand, pride unmistakable in his voice. “My daughter, on every channel. The talk of the town.”I wince at my own face on the screen, composed and professional, addressing the press outside the courthouse on the decision of the mediator and what it means for me.“I look exhausted.”“The exhaustion of a lioness should not be mistaken for weakness,” Father says. “You look formidable.”He goes on and on, complimenting me and saying what a good father should say to his daughter. My mind slowly drifts to the compliments by the mediator and the uproar it caused in the room.For the first time, I didn’t know how to feel or respond to it. I could only say ‘thank you’ with a smile. Damian’s eyes never
