Damien walked
out of his room with long strides, and directed his steps into his study
Walking, towards the desk, he pressed a button and his assistant’s voice came loud, and clear over the speakers.
“Yes sirgood morning, si
“Call for Doctor Robert at once. He said in a voice that did not sound so urgent “Miss Carter is in need of medical assistance.”
“Yes sir” The assistant replied instantly, and the line went dead
paraten sat down in his chair behind the desk, his elbows propped up on the table as he held his head in his hands, relieved to be away from Rina and her demanding self.
He was tired of Rina and her sneaky ways.
The only reason he was still keeping her close was because he felt responsible for her.
For how she had tumed out.
Rina was the sister of his best friend Lucas, who had sadly passed away ten years earlier.
He had been madly in love with her when they had met and Lucas had been glad they were together.
But when his grandmother insisted on him marrying Lana, he had shattered her heart and made her suicidal.
He closed his eyes in frustration, as he thought of this vicious circle that he w
Ewas in
Rina was fragile, both in health and in character. When he found her five years ago, she was recuperating in an hospital after another tailed attempt t at suicide Damien had almost gone mad with grief when be found her, and he could not believe she could accept him back
He had brought her back to the Romero mansion because he felt it had always been her right. Rina was the girl he was supposed to get married to I, while Lana was the conniving bitch who had manipulated his grandmother and made Rina like this today.
But then…
He was not so sure anymore.
Damien leaned his head back apalost the headrest of his chair, his eyes staring directly at the ceiling above him, as
as his mind went back to that time, five years ago. He had been furious when Lans had actually signed the divorce papers. He had expected her to relent or even accept her money he gave her
She was a nobody and had no other family in the city. Da
Damien knew this because he had investigated her before they got married. is was another reason why he thought she was just a gold digger with no roots.
But she lud refused his money, and over the next few days, he discovered that Lana had actually never spent the family’s money.
This puzzled Iden greatly because the family had provided a black card for her to use on anything she wanted.
He had been uninterested in her affairs when she was his wife but after she was gone, he realised the card had never really been used.
Lana had taken care of the household on her own, even his mother’s household, making sure the staff were well taken care of and their salaries paid on time.
She also taken care of his things, and was always with a smile whenever she saw him yet be treated her like that.
He had been wrong about her but she was gone now, and he had to face l
However, when be received a strange call from the family doctor, Dambeealized how big of a fool he had been.
“I’m calling to ask about Mrs Homeo, si ile doctor had said amiably into the telephone she left the hospital suddenly without being discharged and she’s yet tocomplete her treatment
“Her treatment?” the had asked, puzzled, then be remembered Lana had been in an accident
We grimaced as he realized how uncating least have sounded to the doctor well, she was gone, and he had to tell him that.
“Yes, I was going to get her to undergo some psychiatic treatment, sir” the doctor contimed, “you see, after she lost the baby, Ms Romero displayed some belaior that was not very healthy.”
Haby? What baby!!” Danden had gone cold at the mention of these words. He gapped the receiver tightly as he listened to the doctor speak “Mrs Horier was pregunt?|–
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds as the doctor wondered if he was actually talking to the CEO of Romero Empire.
Surely, he would know that his wife had been pregnant
+25 Banus
“Yes sir, she was pregnant. But she lost the baby due to the accident” the doctor’s voice was calmer now as he realized he was talking to the other parent of the lost child “Mrs Romero is in urgent need of medical attention. I already discussed this with Miss Carter earlier ”
“What?!” Damien barked into phone, his hands clutching at his hair “Rina knew about this?”
“I had spoken to her when I called earlier, she assured me she’d speak to you but it’s been days now, sir”
Damien was breathing heavily as he stood in the middle of his office, clutching the phone to his ear tightly.
He could not believe what he was hearing.
Lana had been pregnant?!
And she had lost the baby in that accident which he thought was minor.
“Ugh!” He groaned as he remembered how he had scolded Diego not to call him anymore that night. Lana had lost their child that night while he had been tending to Rina?!
Rina, who knew about this and refused to tell him?!
of his off
His face darkened as the muscles in his faws clenched. He banged the receiver down and marched out of
office.
“Drive to Reign Estates immediately!” He had barked at his driver who carried out his orders, almost flying all the way to the estate. When they got to the mansion, Damien marched inside with anger, ignoring the guards and maids that bowed to him as he passed.
One look at his face and they scrambled out of his way. His eyes were bloodshot and his face grim.
He threw open the door to his bedroom where Rina lay languidly on his bed. At his approach, a smile brightened her face and she leapt out of bed to hug him. “Dams, you’re home!” She squealed delightedly as she ran toward him, however Damien put out a hand to stop her.
Grabbing her slim shoulders in his huge hands, he looked down into her face.
“You knew Lana had a miscarriage?!”
Rina’s smile died on her lips immediately, as she stared into Damien’s eyes. She had never seen him this angry,
“I….did no.” she stammered as she tried to step backward, but Damien held her fimm.
She jumped in fright as Damien barked at her, his face red with anger.
“Answer me, dammit, did you know she was pregnant and had a miscarriage?!”
“Yes Yes I did, DamiTM Exasperated, Rina forgot to act frail, and she yelled at Damien too.
Stunned, he dropped his hands and stepped backward from her, shocked at what he had heard.
kina ran her hand through her hair as she watched him. She bit her lips as she wondered how he knew.
It must have been that stupid doctor, she thought maliciously, why was he so nosy?
“You korw?” Damien’s studied volor interrupted her musings and she looked away deltant. The next words that came out of her mouth stunned him all the more and his eyes were opened at that moment
“Yes I knew. But what’s the use Dami?! You

going to divorce her anyway. And beside, you wouldn’t want a bastard from a gold digger now, would you?”
