Damon glared at Xander with utmost hate in his eyes, it was obvious something was up between but it was told what it. There was the idea Xander wanting to take over Damon's company but I know that this hate goes way beyond that.
"I guess now I can get the respect I deserve, little brother" Xander said and my eyes widened.
What!
"Will you two cut it out!" Beatriz banged on the table and Damon exited the room. I had not a single clue what was going on.
Little brother? Damon is Xander's little brother? I cannot believe this.
Beatriz covered her face and laid her head on the table; she took out a napkin and then she started crying. I could feel her sadness despite not knowing everything, I took her to her room and laid her on the bed.
When I was about to leave the room, she stopped me by saying, "Let's talk, Priscilla". I on the other hand was open for any discussion to understand more on all this melt
down going on.
She sat up, taking out another napkin before she began. "I know you have been seeing everything that has been happening, I just want to plead with you that you don't let any of this reach the ears of outsiders, please promise me that"
I nodded.
"Good, then at least I can trust you" she cleaned her eyes, "So how is the baby doing? Has he started kicking? Tell me what's new" she quickly changed the subject.
I went along with her, "Everything has been going great, I was supposed to visit the doctor today but you know with everything I just couldn't, it seemed everybody was occupied"
"Oh dear, I will tell Damon to appoint a new driver for you so you don't have stress going to visit the doctor". Beatriz said out of concern.
"Okay.... Please have some rest, don't let me disturb you" I said smiling and she smiled back. I left the room, closing her door shut, I went downstairs to the wine cellar.... It is the quietest place in the mansion and that was also were I do my investigative work. I was a bit shocked to see Damon down there as well, he sat there sipping his wine from his glass cup, his legs crossed and shoulder pads higher than ever before.
I approached him boldly because there was no need returning since he had already
seen me.
"Hi" I said before taking my seat opposite him, he didn't reply just watched me seat across him. I poured for myself a glass of wine and relaxed my back on the chair getting ready to drink it.
I lifted it to my mouth but got stopped when Damon spoke. "I guess I won't have to force you to get rid of the child", I didn't understand what he said until I gave it more thought.
"Holy shit!" I shouted and Damon jerked before smiling. "I am not supposed to be drinking".
"You didn't know that? I guess I have been hard on you for nothing, you would have taken care of it without my intrusion"
"Hard on me? Have you been doing all this on purpose? Why?" I asked inquisitively much to his dislike.
"That's not of your business" he said coldly before getting up from his chair and went straight for the door, I followed him out like an ant chasing sugar.
I am sure he didn't notice one bit because when he turned to get something from the cellar, he hit me which made me lose my balance and fell.
There was no serious damage but Damon overreacted when he lifted me up and drove to the hospital to get the doctor's response. I could feel he was a bit scared and didn't want to feel responsible for me being hurt or the child.
He made some calls and in no time Beatriz and Xander came in along with Elizabeth family. I know it has already been established that Janet and her husband weren't allowed to get close to me but today Damon had called them.
The doctor came in and ran a few tests on me before he went out. Janet pulled Xander out for a discussion and Beatriz did the same with Damon. They came back in when the doctor returned.
The doctor smiled which brought in hope that there was nothing wrong. "I have to say Miss Priscilla you are making great prospect, the baby and your health are in good condition, although I feel you need a lot of rest starting from now cause it will really help as well, that will be all"
"Can she come home with us?" Janet asked out of concern.
"Yes, she is cleared to go home, I just need the father of the child to come sign this"
"That would be me" Damon said before following the doctor. The others looked at each other in a weird way and there was a lot of humming here and there.
I drove back in Damon's car and he kept on apologizing, you could tell he really felt bad about pushing even though he wasn't in any way at fault, he never knew that I was following him at his....
"What would you like to have for breakfast tomorrow?" He asked which made my eyes blink a couple of time, was he trying to start a conversation?
"Well... I don't know, whatever the chef cooks are fine by me" I rolled my eyes to the side, what a weird guy, one time he is angry and the next he is being all nice.
"What about visiting your mom tomorrow?" He asked.
"Really?" I said ecstatically, I know he was saying this to make me feel better and stop feeling guilty which was why he was acting nice and this is working well for me. "Yeah, pick any day and I won't mind taking you there"
I was extremely happy cause this has been the best news I've heard this week and I just couldn't wait.
