All Chapters of only one wins his heart : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The morning became different because she has not been resting lately. Her body now has suddenly become dramatic. She wakes up feeling nausea and exhaustion.Sophia sat quietly on her bed resting her hands on her stomach “just breathe”. She whispered to herself.Then there came a soft gentle knock at the door. She didn't answer but it opened anyway.“You didn't lock your door”. Damien said as he was stepping in finding an excuse for not waiting for an answer before he came in.Sophia didn't look up at him nor did she say anything. Damien stepped inside anyway but this time he chose not to come closer. “You should learn to respect boundaries”. Sophia finally said without looking at him.“I brought breakfast”. He said, smiling slightly.“I am not hungry”. She said her voice was weak but firm.“You haven't been eating properly”. “I am fine I don't need your concerns”“You're not and I am here for you. I already told you I am not leaving so start getting used to it”. He replied, his voic

Sophia slept under her duvet and she could feel the warmth of the room. The rain outside has stopped and Damien's presence makes her feel safe now and she could feel something she hasn't felt in a long time. She turned her head slightly and before she could stop herself it rested lightly on his shoulder. She froze, realizing what just happened. Damien pretended he did not react nor move nor make it a moment he just went still letting her decide. Seconds passed and Sophia didn't move away. She just closed her eyes slowly and slept off for the first time she felt asleep without worrying, without fear or fighting herself. Damien was careful enough not to move because even the slightest movement might wake her up. She slept peacefully when he looked at her. She looks fragile, peaceful and strong even though she is carrying something that belonged to both of them. His hand moved slightly but he didn't touch her yet because this was more than enough. There was a heavy storm outside but insi

“I don't know if I am ready for that…but I don't want to pretend I don't feel anything anymore”. She said,“I know”.“Then don't”. She said and she meant it because it was the truth. Damien's face was calm. They were now closer now that they could both feel each other's breath. They were even close enough that they both remembered their past.But Sophia hesitated slowly and she looked at his lips then back to his eyes. She wasn't afraid but she just wanted to be sure if she was doing the right thing.“Say something”. She demanded.Damien didn't know what to say, he just slowly shook his head.“No”.“Why”?. She raised her eyebrows.“Because this isn't something I can convince you to do”. He replied to her.They were both silent for a moment and somehow Sophia got it and she let out a slow breath then without thinking she closed the distance between his lips and hers it was soft and tentative. Damien couldn't move for a few seconds giving her enough time to pull away but she didn't. She

“I thought I won't be allowed to work?”.“You're not”.“Then what is that”.“Things to review. Light reading”.“You don't have to do all this”. She said, smiling softly.“I know”.“But I will”.“You're serious about this?. Sophia asked him, staring at him for a moment.“Yes.” “Why?”.“Because I almost lost you and I won't make a mistake again”. He said without hesitating.Sophia could feel her chest softer. She wasn't feeling any fear anymore.Later that evening. Sophia sat up slightly supporting herself with pillows. Damien had helped her adjust them carefully.“You're hovering”. She said,“I am monitoring”.“That's worse”.“Get used to it”. He said smiling.“You're impossible”. She said, shaking her head slightly.“And you're still here”.“.... so are you”.And their eyes met and everything else faded, their fears and the uncertainty of the hospital.“I meant what I said”. Damien spoke, staring into her eyes.“About what”?“I am not losing you. And I am not leaving your side”.“You

Damien stood at the hospital corridor pacing endlessly. The long hall was stretched in front of him. There were white walls, bright lights and silence that felt too loud. He was. He was just walking without direction nor destination. His mind was troubled. Standing still felt like suffocation.‘I don't want to die. I am scared of losing this child. Her words echoed in his head and he's losing it. This wasn't something he could fix and that terrified him.For years he had controlled everything, business, people outcomes but this? This is something neither power or influence can fix. This was life and death deciding on its own. His chest tightened, he exhaled sharply but none of it helped.“Sir, are you alright?” One of the nurses asked.“Please sit down”. She added softly.“I am fine”. He replied without looking at her direction.The nurse paused, then nodded and walked away.To Damien “I am fine” that word meant nothing anymore. He let out a short breath.He pushed open the door to an
