Ina refused to turn around and look at Damien, She felt very embarrassed by herself, After they finished their first-round she felt that she still hadn't enough from him and asked him for more.

"It's nothing to be shy about, You just felt extra horny today." Damien whispered in her ear as he spooned from behind.

​​

"Your words made me feel extra bad." She replied as she covered her face with her hands.

Lately, she finds herself craving Damien attention much more than usual and her desire for sex seemed to be increasing and she didn't find a logical explanation for that, She thought she might be pregnant but her hopes turned down when she tried a pregnancy home test came negative, So what is happening to her? She doesn't know.

Ina finally turned around in his arms and faced him, She stared at Damien and wondered if she should tell him about the test or not, But what she doesn't know is that Damien already knows about the test.

Two days ago, He went to take a shower after Ina when he saw the pregnancy test thrown in the trash, He noticed how her mode was low that day but he didn't want to speak with her about it until she told him.

"Do you want to tell me something?" He asked, caressing her face with the back of her hand.

Ina nodded her head feeling glad that he asked her.

"What is it?" He asked her again, coaxing her to tell him what was worrying her.

Ina thought about it for a moment and thought that they still have plenty of time ahead of them, She doesn't need to worry him when he still has to deal with the company work to deal with.

"It's nothing, I was wondering how much you love me?" She asked and felt him pull her more closer towards him until she felt his hard chest muscles against her chest.

"That's a very difficult question, Because my love for you can be described in words or actions it's much bigger and deeper than words and actions." He replied, meaning each word he said.

Ina was stunned for a moment when she heard his words, Her eyes watered unwillingly and tears started to slide down from her eyes, Damien was always better than her in putting his emotions into words, If it were her she would never have described the same way he did.

She felt like she should say something to him but she didn't know what she should say.

Damien chuckled at her conflicted facial expressions, He placed his finger on her lips and put his forehead on hers.

"You don't have to say anything, Because you express your love towards me with your actions and that is more than enough for me." He said as he removed his hand and kissed her lips.

Ina felt better hearing his words, She loved how he understood her without the need to say anything.

...

Some days later.

Damien had gone on a business trip and Ina didn't go with him, She was feeling unwell for some days now and didn't want to tell Damien about it.

The business trip that he went on is very important for the company. He had lost an important deal last month and she didn't want him to lose another one.

She had read the financial reports of the company secretly and noticed how much the amount of money that the company lost since she became sick, She knew that it wasn't her fault, But she couldn't help but feel guilty, She caused enough troubles for him.

Ina sighed as she lay down on the bed, experiencing the lack of energy throughout the day but it was more than usual and becoming worse with every passing day.

"Do you want to call the doctor?" Alison asked as she came to check on Ina, Her condition was becoming worse.

"No, no need I will be better by tomorrow." Ina replied.

"Please don't tell Damien, If he finds out he will leave everything and come back." She bagged Alison and the older women nodded her head.

"He will be angry when he comes back and finds out that you didn't tell him." Alison said before she left the room.

Ina placed her hand on her forehead and noticed that she had a slight fever.

She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, Maybe I'm going to be better when I wake up, She told herself.

...

Two days later.

Damien went back to the country after being away for a week, He went to see straight towards the apartment, He missed Ina so much and he couldn't wait to see and take her in his arms.

A smile formed on his lips as he thought about her. He was supposed to go back tonight but when he finished his work early he went back on his private plane, He didn't tell because he wanted to surprise her.

....

Damien entered the apartment and noticed that it was quiet, Strange he thought to himself.

He walked inside the apartment and saw Alison coming out from the bedroom with a tray in her hand.

"Mr Damien, I thought you are coming back tonight." Alison asked, surprised to see him here now.

Damien glanced at the tray that was full of untouched food and asked.

"She didn't eat her food?"

Alison sighed and nodded at her.

"She is a little sick, She asked me to not tell until you come back." She replied explaining.

Damien frowned hearing this and walked towards the bed only to be welcomed by the sight of Ina pale face.

"What happened? Why didn't you call me?" Damien asked as he rushed towards her side.

"I didn't want you to be worried, It's just a cold." She replied, her voice barely coming out.

Damien placed his hand on her forehead and felt her temperature, She had a slightly high fever.

"I will deal with you later, Now let me call the doctor to check on you." Damien said as he took out his phone to call the doctor but Ina stopped him.

"I will be fine, No need to call the doctor." She said, hoping that he would listen to her.

Damien sighed and looked at her, He was angry at her for not telling him but he couldn't bring himself to be angry at her when she was in this connection, So weak and in need of him.

"Okay." Damien said as he cupped her face and kissed her cheek.

"You will catch my cold." Ina said fearing that he might become sick too because of her.

"I don't mind." Damien said as he kissed her other cheek.

Ina wanted to say something when she suddenly felt the urge to vomit.

"Help to walk to the bathroom." She said as she tried to stand up.

Damien picked her up and walked towards the bathroom and lowered her on her feet gently.

Ina walked towards the toilet and hovered above it and started to vomit emptying her already empty stomach.

Damien supported her body with one hand and removed her hair with the other hand.

Ina fall lamp in his arms as her body weakened after she had vomited, Her face became paler than earlier and her fever too became higher.

He picked her up and made her sit on the bathtub while he filled the bathtub with cold water for her fever.

"Let me help take this off." Damien offered and helped her to remove her clothes.

After that, he helped her to get inside the bathtub.

Ina shivered when her feverish skin touched the cold water and she held into Damien's arms tightly, He was warmer than this water, She thought to herself.

"Bear with it for a while." Damien whispered in a loving tone as he lowered her body into the cold water slowly.

Ina hadn't let go of Damien's hands and kept holding onto them.

"Try to immerse your whole body under the water." Damien instructed and she nodded her head.

He placed his hand on the back of her head as she lowered her body until it was completely under the water for a few seconds before he pulled her up and picked up the towel warping her body with another one for her hair.

After she got dressed, He brought the thermometer and took her temperature and it wasn't that high. Then why she was that tired, He wondered as he stared at her.

"Don't overthink things, I will be better by tomorrow." He heard her say.

Or that's what she hoped.

And tomorrow and Ina didn't get better, Damien called the doctor that is responsible for her condition and the doctor asked him to bring her to the clinic to run a full check up on her.

Ina lied down on the bed as the doctor examined her, Damien was on the other side of the bed, He gently caressed her head trying to ease her uncomfortableness.
