After isha prayer, I sat down on the sofa for nearly an hour waiting for Damien to come home since what happen at breakfast today.

I can’t understand at all what were they talking about and that makes me question what was actually happen.

But I can felt that whatever his father said to him makes him snapped.

I got up from the sofa, walking across the room over and over again. I glanced at the clock and its already midnight.

Where is he?

I know he wasn’t always at home but since my pregnancy he had changed.

A sighed escaped my lips before I plopped down the bed when my foot started to hurt.

When I heard the sound of the door opened, I sat up. My brow furrowed as he walked passed me towards the bathroom.

“Damien?”

I called out his name and he finally snapped from his thoughts as he looked over his shoulder towards me.

“Baby doll?” he smiles but it didn’t reach his eyes.

He walked towards me and I take a step to stand in front of him.

His hand wrapped around me to pull me closer. “Why? Can't fall asleep?” he asked as his finger tucked some strands of my hair away from my face.

I shook my head, “I’m waiting for you.” I stated, looking into his eyes. He looked surprise when I said that and finally his smile reached his eyes.

“My baby misses me?” he whispered, kissing me on the lips.

My hand automatically wrapped before he can pulled away. I nodded, “hmm.. I miss you.” I whispered seductively against his neck.

I felt his shuddered when I caressed his skin. I smirk when he can easily felt shivered under my touch.

“Dont seduce me baby doll. Im restraining myself so bad right now.” His eyes glint with lust as his hands wandered around me.

My finger opened the first button of his shirt and I saw his adams apple popped up and down. I hold back a smile as I opened another button.

“fxck baby.” He curses in a low voice that almost makes me laugh.

“No cursing Damien.” I narrowed my eyes at him.

After the last button my hand caressed his hard chest. I pulled out his shirt from him and threw it onto the ground.

I heard him groaned; my body suddenly collided onto him as he grabbed me from the back of my neck to kiss me.

But before he can do it, I closed his mouth using my palm makes him frowned.

“I thought you want this.” He was talking with my hand still over his mouth making it muffled.

“What do you mean?” I asked, holding back my laughter. “I just want you to have a shower.”

“What!?” he asked, dumfounded at my statement. “Oh no. Then who’s going to take care of this.” He said as his eyes travelled down.

I followed his gaze before looking away. I can see clearly his smirk when my eyes landed on his junior.

“Go take a shower.” My face heated with blushed as I pushed him towards the bathroom.

“Come on baby. I need an assistance to take care of this.”

A gasped escaped my lips when he said that. “Pervert!” I shouted before closed the door right on his face as I heard him laughing inside the bathroom.

I shook my head, giggling on his behavior as I sat on the bed waiting for him to finish taking a shower.

I really need to know what was actually happened between him and his father.

I know that his father and he do not have a good relationship since his father was very abusive.

A few minutes later, he came out of the bathroom with only pants on and using a small towel to dry his hair.

I got up from the bed and walked towards him. He stopped when I take over his towel and pushed him to sit on a chair.

He looked at me with curiosity but I gave him a smile before drying his hair.

When he realized that I was doing that, he smiled closing his eyes as if he enjoyed when I spoilt him.

His hand wrapped around me and pushed his head onto my bumped before he murmured.

I put the towel on the table when finished drying it. He looked up from my stomach before giving me a silly smile makes me giggle.

“What’s that for?” he question.

I shrugged, “Nothing. I just want to spoil my big baby.” I told him, pinching both of his cheeks.

“Thats not how I want to be spoilt, baby doll.” He stated, giving me his perverted smile.

I narrowed my eyes, slapping his bare shoulder lightly making him whined in pain.

“Ouch,baby that's hurt.”

I rolled my eyes when he did that. I just slapped him lightly but he was exaggerating.

He laughed before pulling me into his lap kissing the tip of my nose.

A smile broke onto my lips as I put my head into the crooked of his neck smelling his scent that always makes me calm.

He caressed my hair but then I remembered something that I want to ask him.

At first I was hesitated since I did not want to destroy our mood.

“Damien..”

He hummed, I pulled away and looked at him.

“I don’t know if I asked you this it will makes you mad at me. But I really need to know.”

“What is it?”

I looked into his eyes, taking a deep breath before asking him. “What was actually happen between you and your father at the breakfast?”

His face hardened as soon as I asked him. He pushed me lightly from his lap before stood up.

“I knew that you’re going to ask that.” He said, as he walked past me.

But I grabbed his wrist, pulling him lightly making him stopped. “I’m sorry if my question makes you down.”

I heard him sighed, “Alright...” he trailed off, started to move towards the bed with me followed behind him.

He sat on the bed and I also, facing him. I can see he struggled to speak the truth and that makes me felt bad about it.

“Damien... it’s okay you don’t have to tell about it if you can’t.” I told him, squeezed his hand lightly.

“No.” He said, “You deserve to know. You’re my wife and we’ve promise there’s no secret anymore between us”

He pulled me closer towards him, holding both my hand in his big, warm hand.

“I don’t know where should I start..” his jaw clenched when he started to talk.

“He wanted me to introduce you to him but he doesn’t deserve to know you. But when he said something that makes me mad is that you will leave me just like my mother.”

When he was done talking, his hand trembled against me. And my heart clenched when I heard those words. But he was more hurt because it came from his father.

I stared into his eyes and saw tears that wanted to escape but he hold back. Without realising it, my hand wrapped around his shoulder to comfort him.

He put his face into the crooked of my neck. “Don’t worry I won’t leave you.” I whispered to reassure him.

But I’m not sure if I can kept that promises.

I felt him nodded, “I love you, baby doll.”

Yet once again he said those meaningful words but it seems it’s hard for me to said it back to him.

🔥🔥🔥

“Zahra can I have those cream puff.” Mrs Luciano asked and I handed a tray that filled with cream puff to her.

“Woww it’s smell really good.” Katherine said with her hand tried to steal one but her mother slapped it makes Emily and Maya giggle.

She pouted, rubbing her hand that was slapped by her mother.

I heard shouting from upstairs as we exchanged looks at each other.

“I don't even fxcking care!”

My eyes widened when I heard that voice belongs to Damien. He seems arguing with someone. No, not someone but his father.

“But I care! That’s how I fxcking handle this job for years and you can’t change it!”

I heard Mrs. Luciano sighing before Katherine and she ran upstairs with me following behind them slowly.

When we reached the second floor, I saw Damien and his father was shouting to each other. But my eyes widen when I saw Jack was kneeling on the ground.

“What’s wrong over here?” Mrs Luciano asked making the stopped shouting.

“Don’t interfere with our affairs, Elizabeth” Mr Luciano demanded before he glared at Damien. "If you won’t followed my rules I will fxcking kill your slave.”

He kicked Jack on the stomach making us gasped. Jack hold his leg as if it was his life. “Please... don’t hurt Damien, kill me if you want.” Jack told him, begging him but it seems Mr Luciano won’t stopped.

“Padre! Stop it!” Damien shouted, pulling Jack away from his father’s kick.

Jack puked with blood as Damien pushed to his back. “Fine! I’ll do what you want.” Damien told his father and I can see he was trying to hold himself back from punching his own father.

He was clenching his jaw when his father let out a sinical laughed. “Bene, altrimenti non solo il tuo schiavo, ma ucciderò tua moglie.” (Good otherwise not just your slave I’ll kill but your wife.)

And again those Italian makes Damien snapped, he wanted to punch his father but Jack was holding him from behind.

Mrs Luciano and Katherine get into between both of them to stop them to fight against each other.

Suddenly, my eyes widen when I saw Mrs Luciano slapped his husband really hard. I saw unshed tears across her eyes as she spoke, warning him.

“Leonardo! Non posso credere che tu lo dica. Non osare farlo. Take a step to her and I’ll kill myself too.” (I can’t believe you say that. Don’t you dare to do that.)

What does that mean?

Her? Who? Me?

“Where all the promises you’d gave me!? You said it and I believe you for all this time. Yet you make another mistakes.”

As soon as she spoke, her legs gave out until she dropped onto the ground in front of his husband with tears. But Mr Luciano wouldn’t moved at all.

I moved towards her, kneeling on her side and hugged her.

I don’t know what’s happening between them but it makes me feel bitter when I saw them fought.

I know I shouldn’t get into their family problems but it seems it getting worst and I just can’t see it anymore.

“I don’t know what happens in this family. Heck I dont understand what you are saying. I was only a stranger but if you want a good life with happy family you should consider what’s good for all of them. You’re the protector of this family but why I saw that you’re just making disaster? Don’t you love them even it was just a little piece?”

I didn’t even realised my mouth running all the words out of it. I heard Mrs Luciano sobbing and Katherine, feeling sad about their family problems.

I sighed, “Every problems has their own solutions if you’re really wanted all things works together.”

“Come on, mom. Let’s go to my bedroom.”

Katherine and me helped her mother to stand up before they walked away from us.

I stood in front of Mr Luciano before saying, “Don’t stuck into past too much until you can’t see the future that will bring the best of you.”

I can felt how his past affect him so much just liked Damien. Both of them does not have a good memories. I know deep in his heart he really loves his family but he showed it in a wrong way.

Maya and Emily helped Jack as they walked downstairs, probably wanted to put some ointment on his injury.

I turned around, grabbing Damien’s warm hand when he was only looking at me. I smile at him, pulling him away from his father.

My steps stopped when Damien pulled me as he turned to his father.

“Padre, tu dici sempre che sarà la mia rovina, lei sarà la mia debolezza. No, ti sbagli. È la mia forza, mi ha mostrato come essere una persona migliore, non è estranea, è mia moglie e io la amo.” (you always saying that’s she will be my downfall, she will be my weaknesses. No, you’re wrong. She’s my strength, she showed me how to be a better person, she’s not a stranger, she is my wife and I love her.)

After saying those words that I can’t understand at all, we left his father standing alone over there. Staring into the ground with a blank expression.
