96. The Fear Of Life!

Author's POV

"Done with the walk, Mr. Husband?"

Mira chuckled when Damon came back.

"Why does it look like you ran instead of walking?"

She looked at his sweaty shirt.

Damon smiled and shook his head.

"You should take a walk too... I am a hiring trainer for your fitness during pregnancy."

She raised her eyebrows amused.

"Do we really need that?... I am a dancer, my body is healthy!"

"Yep, we need everything..."

He took off his shirt.

She travelled her eyes on his sweaty body and smirked. He smirked when she touched his chest.

"Wife, you need to rest... Control your hormones!"

He grabbed her hand and kissed it.

Mira sulked.

"Okay..."

He chuckled when she stomped towards the bed cutely.

Mira waited for him excitedly while turning on her favourite show on screen.

Damon came out of the shower while drying his hair and slid down beside her while throwing a towel on the couch.

She inhaled his scent like it's addictive.

"You smell so good... Like lemons!"

He chuckled while gathering her in arms.

"It's a body wash."

Mira noticed the tension in his body when he was trying to pretend that he was enjoying the show with her. She gently cupped her face and made him look at her.

"Damon, what's wrong? You look lost!"

He smiled tiredly and rested his face in her neck.

"I am just tired. I don't know how to handle the shocks my life is throwing at me"

Mira caressed his hair softly, letting him rest in her embrace.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine... I just need time."

She looked at him bothered.

"Damon, what's happening with you?"

"Do you trust me and my love?"

He asked with pain in his eyes.

"Yes, I do! Or else I wouldn't have been here."

She kissed his lips.

"Why are you in such a dilemma?"

"Nothing!"

He smiled while holding her close.

"I just want to make sure that I am your safe place."

She sighed in relief, she was scared that there was something else in his mind.

"Of course, you are my safe place!"

She wrapped her arms around him.

"Did you find your attacker?"

Damon tensed when she asked that.

"Yeah, I found him."

"Who was he? Why was he doing all that?"

She frowned.

"It was from some old enemy. He was playing dirty games. We caught him now no one's gonna bother us..."

He lied. There was no way he was going to create more drama in her life after whatever happened. Mira will be disheartened if she finds out that it was her mother. She already has trust issues.

Mira was still not convinced.

"But Damon, what if it doesn't stop here and you get attacked again?... I am not convinced. I am still feeling that fear."

Damon sighed.

"You are paranoid, nothing is gonna happen now."

"But can't we just call your mother for rituals and get over it... It's about your life and I don't want to take risks... Please?"

She requested.

"The attacker is caught, now I am safe."

He assured.

"And you know I don't believe in it."

Mira sighed.

"For me?"

He rubbed his face.

"If I get attacked again then we'll think about it."

He promised.

"Not take a rest."

Mira shook her head, knowing he is too stubborn.

"If you get attacked again then you are going to face my wrath!"

Damon raised his eyebrows but nodded in agreement.

"Okay, wife!"

He chuckled.

They slept in each other's arms peacefully, forgetting all the worries. He smiled looking at her innocent face and felt like he had achieved everything.

It was morning when Mira woke up with a bitter test in her mouth and rushed towards the washroom when she felt like vomiting.

Damon woke up with her movements and quickly followed her.

He helped her and rubbed her back.

"Morning sickness?"

He asked.

She nodded.

"I didn't know it will start this soon."

He looked at her tired face.

"I'll get something for this from your doctor."

He helped her to get ready for the day and she admired how gentle he was.

"I love you."

She grabbed his face and placed a strong kiss on his cheek making him chuckle.

"You could eat me if you can"

He pecked her lips again.

"I love you too, wife."

She blushed as he combed her hair and his smile fell when he touched the dent on the back of her head. Mira noticed it and quickly grabbed his hand while kissing it.

"I am hungry, let's go!"

She tried to distract him.

Damon controlled his emotions and smiled at her.

"Let's go!"

They had a fun breakfast together and she sulked when he was about to leave.

"Is it important for you to leave?"

She complained.

Damon pecked her lips.

"I'll be back within the blink of an eye..."

"You are going out of the city, don't lie!"

She pouted.

"Anyways, be safe and come fast..."

He chuckled while nodding.

"Yes, my little Don"

She chuckled but was worried.

"And remember your promise, if anything happens to you then you are doing the rituals with your mother."

Damon sighed.

"See you in the evening, wife... Take care and keep your phone nearby."

He pecked her lips and left for the day.

Mira shook her head at his stubbornness.

She got busy in her work for the day and discussed some important things with Mariana.

Mira was checking her phone continuously and Mariana looked at her amused.

"Girl, he is coming back."

Mira sighed.

"He was going to call me after lunch but he didn't... I am worried..."

She turned restless when she looked at the time.

"I don't want to call him and disturb if he is between something important... But he can at least message me!"

Mariana looked at her phone when notification chimed and looked at Mira nervously.

"What happened?"

Mira noticed her worried face.

"Mariana?"

Her tone turned edgy.

"There was a firing in the meeting which Damon attended."

She informed.

Mira's face drained colours.

"Damon? Is he okay?..."

She panicked.

"Mariana, tell me?"

Mariana nodded and tried to calm her down.

"He is fine!... They are bringing him home, relax!"

Mira frowned.

"What do you mean by bringing him home?"

She grew restless and rushed out. She tried to call him but he didn't receive it.

She was about to get into her car but she saw Damon's car approaching and she stopped.

Damon came out in a bloody shirt and her eyes widened in horror.

"Damon?"

She mumbled as fear took over.

He stopped her when she tried to hug him.

"I am covered in blood, it's not good for your health... Let me shower first!"

Mira went back to their room and was impatiently pacing in the room. Damon came out of the shower and she didn't wait for a second before hugging him.

He hugged her back.

"I am fine!"

She pushed him away madly as tears escaped her eyes.

"I told you to do the rituals for god's sake."

She yelled at him madly.

"Why is this so difficult for you?... You said, You won't be attacked again then what is this?"

She sobbed when she touched his bruised chest.

Damon sighed and tried to pull her closer.

"I don't want to lose you, Damon..."

She burst out in tears.

"Why don't you understand?"

She pleaded.

"Stop crying!... Please!"

He couldn't see her in tears.

"What will I do if anything happens to you?"

She shook her head in horror.

"I don't give a fuck if you believe in it or not, you are doing it..."

He nodded.

"Okay, we'll do it... Now calm down!"

He cupped her face to control her panic.

"I'll take you to my mother... Now relax!"

Mira wiped her tears.

"Let's go to her now!"

She grabbed his hand hurriedly.

"Let's go!"

"Mira!"

Damon grabbed her by arms and stopped her from moving.

"We can't go to her now... Tomorrow I'll take you."

"Why? Why not now?"

She asked impatiently.

"You are tricking me, I know!"

Damon shook his head at her complaint.

"I promise, I'll take you to her... I can't see you like this. I don't want to see tears in your eyes again..."

She sighed in relief while believing him.

"Where is she?"

Damon pulled her in a hug while caressing her and called his bodyguard.

"We are flying to London tomorrow, get my Jet ready."

He ordered.

Mira looked at him confused but he stayed silent.

She couldn't stay calm until they boarded the flight the next morning.

"Now relax!"

He was bothered by her impatient behaviour.

"Finish this!"

He placed the plate of apple in front of her.

Mira started eating silently and he sat in front of her. Damon looked at her when she tried to feed him one piece.

"Not working, wife... You are feeding me because you don't want to eat."

He teased.

She smiled and slowly that smile turned into a naughty laugh.

"You are smart!"

He chuckled.

"Finish it!"

"One piece?"

She pouted and he ate it while shaking his head amused.

"Don't let this smile disappear... I am doing everything you want!"

He caressed her cheek and she smiled while pecking his lips.

They landed in London and Mira looked out of the car curiously.

"Are you feeling cold?..."

He asked.

"You have turned me into a human teddy by covering me in multiple layers, now I am feeling hot... Stop it!"

She scolded and he laughed.

"But you are looking cute!"

He pinched her cheek and she slapped his arm playfully.

She frowned when his car stopped by the hospital which was huge and looked like a vintage place. Just by looking at it, she understood that this must be used by rich people.

She noticed Damon taking a deep breath before getting out of the car.

She looked around and noticed many patients in the gardens taking fresh air.

"Come!"

He extended his hand for her to hold.

"I need to use the washroom, I have drank too much water."

She replied while holding his hand.

"I don't think I'll be able to control it."

Damon called one of the nurses, knowing it's not easy for her to control in pregnancy and not safe either.

"Can you take her to the washroom?"

He looked at Mira.

"It's at the corner, you will find me here when you come back."

Mira nodded and followed the nurse.

Damon was waiting for her when his eyes fell on a familiar figure. He frowned while looking around but there was no one with her, she was standing alone in the garden while staring into nothing.

"Anamika?"

He mumbled to himself.
