The next morning, Damien apartment.

Damien received messages from the house butler telling him to come to the mansion as soon as he could. Once he turned on his phone, he sighed as he massaged his forehead. It looked like it's going to be a long day, so he got up and walked towards the bathroom to get ready.

Once he was done showering, he stepped out of the bathroom to find Ina sitting on the bed waiting for him.

"I'm going with you, so don't try to stop me." Ina spoke with a firm tone not giving him the chance to say no.

Damien didn't say anything and walked towards the wardrobe to get dressed and at the same time they heard an urgent knock on the bedroom door, Ina quickly went to open the door to find Nora standing there.

"Nora, what is going on? are you alright?" Ina asked seeing how Nora looked pale.

"I received a call from the mansion, Mom got tired last night." Nora said and started to cry, she was worried that something might happen to her mother.

"Don't worry, Damien and I are going to the mansion now, I will call from there." Ina said, trying to calm Nora.

"I want to go there too, I need to make sure that she is okay." Nora said.

Ina nodded her head and the three of them left together.

...

At the Ray mansion.

"Are you sure that you want to go inside?" Damien asked his sister and she nodded.

There is no way that Nora will not go and check on her mother.

Nora walked behind her brother and entered the mansion, she was nervous to the point that she felt that she was going to pass out any minute now.

"Mr Damien." The butler greeted him.

"How is my mother? is she alright now?" Damien asked.

"Yes, she is better now and calmer than last night, you can go upstairs with Miss Nora." The butler replied offering Nora a polite smile.

Damien turned to look at Ina who was standing behind him.

"Go, I will wait here." Ina said.

Nodding his head, Damien went upstairs with his sister.

Knocking on the door, Damien entered his parent's bedroom with his sister, Nora held into Damien's hand tightly as they entered.

Their father was in the room sitting beside the bed.

Andrew turned to look at his children and smiled before he stood up and walked towards them, he stood in front of Nora and saw how she looked down, not meeting his eyes.

"Why aren't you looking at me, princess?" His father asked to calling her princess like he always does.

Nora didn't know what to say, she hadn't expected this, she expected that her father would lash out at her once he saw her, she had prepared herself for all the bad scenarios but now she felt relieved.

"Nora." They heard their mother's voice.

Nora walked towards the bed without a second thought and hugged her, Nora and her mother's relationship was very special and very important to Nora, she didn't know how she would manage to live her life if her mother hated her for what she did.

Eleanor hugged her daughter tightly as she cried, she felt sorry for what happened for her daughter, that's why she said that she would abort that. She was angry at that time and didn't know what she was saying but now she was happy to see her daughter here in her arms.

"Leave me alone with Nora for a while." Eleanor said as she pulled away.

After Damien and his father left, Eleanor turned to her daughter and cupped her face.

"How do you feel?" Her mother asked and noticed how Nora lowered her head.

"Extremely tired." Nora replied as she looked up at her mother.

Eleanor looked at her daughter's face and noticed that she was pale.

"Did you eat breakfast?" Her mother asked and Nora nodded her head, not making her mother frown.

"Don't do that again, it's not healthy." Her mother scolded her as she called the butler to send a light breakfast for Nora.

Seeing her mother like this, taking care of her, it made Nora happy, now there is nothing to worry about as long as her mother is beside her.

"How many weeks?" Her mother asked her as she patted the empty space on the bed for her to lay down on it.

"Ten weeks." Nora replied.

"Do hate me now for what I did?" Nora asked as she stared at her mother.

Eleanor sighed hearing her daughter question, it's not like she hates her but she was unsure if she will love this child as she loves her.

"Of course, not, you are my daughter, Nora, I will never hate you, it's just that I need time to accept what happened, okay." Her mother spoke to her gently not wanting to worry her about her thoughts, right now she needs to focus on her daughter's health and nothing more.

"Thank you." Nora spoke feeling relieved.

The pair of mother and daughter chatted for a long time from the pregnancy stages to the baby clothes, Nora enjoyed talking with her mother now that everything had been sorted between them.

Eleanor watched her daughter who had fallen asleep, she was about to pull the covers up but she suddenly stopped when her eyes fell on the small bump that started to form, when Nora entered, her mother didn't notice it, but now that she is laying down she could see her.

Eleanor reached her hand to touch it but she retreated her hand and covered her daughter with the blanket. It's a long way for her to accept this child but she needs to, for her daughter's sake.

...

Downstairs, Damien's father had gone to his study room after he cheated with Ina and Damien for a while, now with everything going well between the mother and the daughter, the atmosphere seemed to be calmer in the mansion.

Damien and Ina went to take a walk in the garden which ended quickly because Ina couldn't walk too much.

"The view is breathtaking." Ina said as she looked at the view ahead of her.

Damien smiled as he ran his fingers through her soft hair.

"We can stay here if you want to." Damien suggested, he noticed that Ina loved to spend more time here in the garden than inside the mansion.

"No, my mother will kill me if I do that, she will say I should stay with her then stay here." Ina replied, imagining her mother's angry face.

"Okay." Damien said as he kissed her cheek before he started to place small kisses on her face going down to her neck.

Ina sighed as her body started to react to his warm kisses she felt him cup her breast with his hand and started to massage it making her body tremble as she tried to not moan.

"Let's go to my room." Damien whispered in her ear before he stood up and picked her up in his arms.

...

Two weeks later, In Canada.

Daniel checked his bags for the last time before he ordered the servants to take them downstairs.

He finally going to take a break, it felt so long since he took one, in a blink of an eye five years has passed, it felt like it was yesterday that they started the company he and his brother, he was happy and proud of himself, he left five years ago to prove to himself that he can achieve his goal and he did, now he and his brother made to themselves a name in the business world and they couldn't be less proud.

Daniel picked up the picture frame that was on his nightstand, the picture was captured when he was young, his mother and father were still alive at that time, her mother was smiling to the camera as she hugged him and his brother along with their father, he kissed the picture before he placed it back to its original place and left the room.

Daniel was nervous and excited at the same time, he will finally go back and hopefully, he will be able to win the heart of the girl that was in his heart for years now, he wondered what she looks like now and did she changed and does she have a boyfriend now?

Boyfriend!

His face darkened when he thought about the possibility of her having a boyfriend now, he only hoped that he wasn't late and someone else stole her from him.

He will surely do everything in his power to make her forget about him, Daniel shook his head hopelessly when he noticed that he was overreacting.

He took out his phone and started to look at her photo as he smiled like a fool to himself.
