Daniel sighed as he looked at the view outside the window of the hotel room and sighed, his plane arrived two hours ago and he went straight towards the hotel room, he didn't feel like going to any place tonight, though it's been five years since he last been here the first thing he wanted to do is go and see his mysterious girl but he thought that it would be so sudden to go now.

He smiled as he thought about the last time he saw her, she was running after the cat in the garden, he remembered how she tripped and fell into the mud and dirtied her dress but she was so focused on chasing that cat that she stood up and ran after the cat, not caring about her dirty dress.

​​

Daniel picked up his phone that was ringing and replied.

"Damien."

"Welcome back, where are you now?" Damien asked.

"I'm at the hotel." Daniel replied.

"I will come and get you in ten minutes, let's go to our old place, what do you think?" Damien suggested.

Daniel thought about it for a minute before he replied.

"Okay." He said and hung up on the phone.

...

Ten minutes later, Damien arrived at the hotel and picked up Daniel, they went to an old bar that they used to go to before he went to Canada.

"The place hasn't changed." Daniel said as they entered the bar.

"Hmm, yes, the owner is still the same too." Damien said as they picked a table and sat down on the chairs.

"So, the news about the legendary Damien Ray getting a girlfriend spread like fire, is it true?" Daniel asked as he took a sip from the beer bottle.

Damien chuckled hearing his question.

"Yes, her name is Ina, you will meet her at the next event." He replied.

"Can't wait to see the girl who timed you, so what is so special about her and how did you two met?" Daniel wanted to know more details.

Damien sat back on the chair and smiled.

"Everything about her is special, when I'm with her I just feel complete, as for how I met her, you will be surprised to know how." Damien replied and told Daniel everything about how he and Ina met and their unforgettable night.

Daniel checked surprised after he heard the unusual love story.

"What a bold girl, but why I'm sensing sadness in your voice as you speak about her, did something happen?" Asked Damien noticing the sadness in his friend

Damien sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Ina is sick with Incurable disease." He said.

Daniel was shocked for a moment when he heard what Damien said.

"I'm very sorry to hear that, but did you try to contact other doctors, for example in Europe." He said and watched how Damien sighed tiredly.

"I tried but nothing worked, all of them said the same exact words, it will not kill her but it will affect her daily life, it did not change my feelings towards her but the fact that she is sick right now affected her, she is losing confidence in herself with every passing day." Damien explained.

Daniel sighed and patted his friend's shoulder, he could sense that Damien was serious about this girl but he guessed that God was testing him.

"If there is no cure then the past you can do is fulfil her dreams, the things that she wants but she can't do anymore." Daniel advised his friend.

"Hmm, that's what I'm working on." Damien replied to Daniel's words.

Daniel stared at Damien and felt like there was something else bothering him.

"Why do I feel that this is not only about your girlfriend?" He asked as he finished his beer.

Damien, Owen and Daniel were childhood friends more like brothers, they never kept any secret from each other, but Daniel had a feeling that his friend was not telling him everything.

Damien massaged the space between his eyebrows before he spoke.

"It's about Nora."

"What about her?" Daniel urged him to speak.

"She met someone while I was in London but that son of a b*** had left her after he took advantage of her." Damien replied and watched how Daniel became angry, after all, Nora was like his young sister.

"What? Did you find this guy?" Daniel asked in an angry tone.

Damien told his friend everything in detail about what happened to Nora and how she met that guy.

Daniel's hand's turned into fists as he continued to listen to Damien, he was angry and his anger can be only reduced after he finds who did this to Nora.

"How is she now?" He asked.

"She is good, but she refuses to meet with anyone other than me and my parents. She feels ashamed. Yesterday she asked me to send her outside the country until she gave birth because she doesn't want our relatives to find out." Damien replied.

He was considering what his sister asked of him and now he was thinking that if it will make her more comfortable than he is thinking that he should do it.

"But then she will be alone and that will affect her more, don't you think about that?" Daniel asked.

He was right, Damien hadn't thought about the fact that she will be all alone wherever he will send her.

"You are right, let's leave for now and see what will happen." Daniel added and Damien nodded his head in agreement.

"My mother wanted to see you, she told me to bring you once you arrive but I told you that you will come tomorrow." Damien spoke changing the subject.

"Of course, I will, aunt Eleanor was like a mother to me." Daniel replied smiling, remembering how Damien's mother treated him as if he was her own son.

"Do you remember when you sneaked out and brought a mouse and put it in the maid's room?" Damien asked, already laughing at the memory.

"Yes, one of them ran out of the room and my and Owen kept running behind the poor girl while she was screaming." Daniel said.

The two friends burst into laughter remembering that day, the three of them were ten years old at the time, Damien's mother punished them that day and made them clean the floor of the mansion.

After the long talk, Damien drove Daniel back to the hotel and after that, he went back to the apartment.

When he entered the bedroom he found Ina already sleeping, he went towards the bathroom and took a shower before he joined her on the bed.

"You came back late." Ina mumbled in her sleepy voice as she snuggled closer to him.

"I met with an old friend who came back from Canada today, you will meet him next week." Damien replied as he pecked her lips.

"Okay." Ina said closing her eyes and went back to sleep.

...

At the Ray mansion, The next day.

"Oh my god, you grow up so much, Daniel." Eleanor said as she hugged him.

"You became even more handsome." She added as she pulled away and looked at him again.

"Thank you, aunty Eleanor." Daniel said as he kissed the old woman's forehead.

"I'm glad that you decided to come back finally." Eleanor said as they sat down on the sofa.

"Where is uncle Andrew?" Daniel asked as looked around the place that held so much of his childhood memories.

"He went to the company, you will stay and have lunch and dinner with us, also Damien told that you are staying at a hotel, I know how hotels can be uncomfortable, so will bring your luggage and stay here in the mansion and no you can't say no." Eleanor said, giving the young man no choice to argue.

Daniel nodded his head knowing that he can't refuse her offer.

Eleanor went to the kitchen to check on the food and left Daniel taking a look around the place that he hadn't visited for five years.

He went upstairs to check on his old room and he heard Nora voice talking to the maid before she closed the door and the maid left.

He hesitated on whether he should go and say hi to her or not but he decided that he should do it.

Daniel checked his appearance in the mirror that was placed in the corridor before he walked towards her room.

He knocked on the door gently and waited for her to open.

Ina heard the knock and thought it was the maid so she opened the door but she found out that it wasn't the maid.

"Daniel." Nora said surprised to see him.

"I apologize for bothering you, I came to say hi." Daniel said as looked at the cute pink panther two set pyjamas that she was wearing.

"No, no, you didn't, please come in." Nora said as she pulled her pyjamas top, down trying to cover her small bump.

Daniel entered the room and looked around the room, he noticed how Nora was embarrassed and kept pulling her pyjamas top down.

"When did you arrive?" Nora asked, trying to sound normal when it's obvious that she was nervous.
