Ina fall asleep as her head was still on her mother lap, She just felt safe and warm feeling her mother hand caressing her head gently.
Her mother kept caressing her daughter's hair even after she fell asleep, Eleanor smiled and bent down Kissing her daughter's forehead.
She picked up her knitting ket and started to knit quality, It seemed that this is the only way that brings peacefulness to her mind these days.
An hour later, Eleanor lifted her head when she heard Damien's voice who just arrived speaking to the maid.
"Good evening." Damien greeted as he entered the living room.
"Good evening." Eleanor replied offering the young man a polite smile.
Lately, Her relationship with Damien had improved, She found out that he is a good man who just loves her daughter and she had accepted this fact.
Damien walked forward to where Ina was sleeping.
"You should take her to her room." Eleanor spoke in a low voice making sure to not wake up her daughter.
Damien nodded his head and bent down picking her up in his arms.
"Good night." Damien said to Ina's mother before he went upstairs.
Eleanor wished him a good night too and went to her room as well.
Tonight seemed to be a quiet night for everyone and she hoped that every night is the same.
Inside the bedroom, Damien had placed Ina gently on the bed. He was relieved that she was sleeping deeply tonight. Her face was relaxed. It means that she isn't in pain or that what he hoped for.
He sat on the bed watching her, Worry was evident on his face, He was worried about her reaction when she found out that he took a time off from the company, He just couldn't keep his mind stop thinking about her and how she was doing the whole day.
Now he feels relieved knowing that he will be beside her all the time. Of course, He will make sure to give her own space.
Damien stood up and walked towards the wardrobe taking out his sleeping wear to change into it before he joined her in the bed.
...
A week later.
Ina friends are going to arrive today, She has invited them to have lunch at her parents' house.
She was excited that she is going to see her friends after a long time.
Ina turned to look at Damien who was reading a book. She was shocked when he told that he had asked his father to take his place in the company until she gave birth. She was angry at first but she understood that this decision wasn't just for her but it was also for him.
She felt that she had become a burden in his life but she tried not to show her feelings knowing that it would only anger him if she told him that.
Half an hour later, Ina's friends had arrived.
"You go and meet them first, I will come and meet them later." Damien said and Ina nodded her head.
He watched as she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. He wanted to give her some alone time with her friends.
...
Downstairs
Mia, who was talking to Ina's mother, was shocked when she saw her friend coming down the stairs.
She blinked her eyes a few times to make sure that what she was seeing was true.
Like Mia, Kevin was shocked too.
Is she...?
"Welcome back." Ina was the first one to greet the two of.
"It's good to see." Kevin replied trying to not appear shocked as Mia.
He took a step forward and hugged his friend before he pulled away.
Mia who couldn't stop herself from asking said.
"Ina are you pregnant?" Mia asked as she approached her friend staring at her swollen stomach.
Ina nodded her head.
"Yes." She replied.
Mia's eyes widened in shock before she hugged her friend.
"Oh my God, Congratulations." Mia said as she pulled away.
"Thank you." Ina replied, feeling a little shy.
"You need to tell how this happened in details." Mia said, completely forgotten about Ina's mother 's presence.
Eleanor cleared her throat to get their attention and said.
"I will go and bring you something to drink." Ina mother said.
"You should think before you speak." Kevin scolded Mia as they walked towards the living room.
Mia didn't care about what he said, She just wanted to know how this happened.
"So tell me, How did this happen? It looks like Mr Ray couldn't keep his hands to himself." Mia said grinning mischievously at her friend.
Hearing this, Ine face turned red remembering the wild and passionate moments that she had with Damien.
"It just happened." Ina replied, feeling uncomfortable with her friend's questions.
"Oh really, I will let you off this time but I will get the details out of you later." Mia said as she winked at her friend.
Ina smiled weakly, Her facial expressions changed from happy to sad and that made her friends wonder what happened that made her sad suddenly.
"There is a reason that made me decide to have children now." Ina spoke as she looked at her friends.
They have the right to know as her friends, Ina told herself.
Ina told Kevin and Mia about everything that happened and explained everything about her being sick and how they found out, It was hard to tell them but they deserve to know, She kept telling herself.
Kevin tried to comfort Ina while Mia who was shocked by the news broke down into tears feeling sorry for her friend.
By the time Mia finally calmed down it was lunchtime, Damien had come downstairs to greet Ina's friends.
"Nice to meet, Ina told me so much about both of you." Damien said, offering them a polite smile.
Mia gazed at the Infront of her and then she whispered something in Ina's ear.
"No wonder you are pregnant, The man is a living good." Mia whispered to Ina.
In a shock her head hopelessly as she looked at Damien Who came to stand beside her, She noticed something but she didn't know if she was right.
"The food is ready." Ina mother said, inviting them to the dining room.
At the table, Ina was about to sit next to her friends out of politeness but she was surprised by Damien who gently pulled her to sit next to him.
After this, she was positive that Damien was jealous of Kevin.
"He has a girlfriend, So you don't need to worry, I only have eyes for you." She whispered in the lowest voice she could master so no one will hear her.
Damien only offered her a warm smile before it turned to glare when he looked at Kevin.
After lunch, Mia and Kevin stayed for a while longer before they left, They promised that they will visit her again.
She had fun today watching the jealous Dami Ray and it is more handsome than the regular one, It made her think that she should make him jealous more.
...
The next day.
Eleanor left the house early in the morning, She had a lot of things that she needed to do.
First, She went to the grocery store, Eleanor turned to look behind her but she found nothing. She didn't know why but she had a feeling that someone was following her.
She moved to the next section to buy the rest of the things on her list.
Suddenly she felt something pressing against her lower back and then she heard someone voice.
"Long time no see, Eleanor, How have you been doing?"
"Oliver." Eleanor said recognizing his voice without even looking at him.
"Yes, It's me, Sister in law." He emphasized the last three words.
Eleanor finally turned to look at him.
"What are you doing here? Are you not afraid that the police might catch you?" She asked.
Oliver laughed as he put away his gun.
"You are still feisty as before." Oliver said as tried to touch Eleanor's face but she slapped his hand away.
"What do you want?" She asked, glaring hard at him.
Eleanor had always hated that man, She always felt that something was wrong with him even before he turned to be a criminal.
"Your daughter, of course, But you won't take me to her easily, So we use a little Intimidation." Oliver said and pulled out his gun pointing it at her.
"Well you can die as you wish for that to happen, You will never lay a hand on her." Eleanor replied not scared of him, It's not the first time that he pointed a gun at her and threatened her.
"You know I just realized that you are the biggest obstacle that I should remove." Oliver said before he pulled the trigger and shot Eleanor.
Eleanor who didn't think that he was going to shoot her, Placed her hands on her wounds, She looked at the ground beneath her and saw her blood starting to cover the floor under her feet and before she knew it she lost her consciousness.
