Chapter 32 Pregnant?

Chapter 32 Pregnant?
Damien's POV

I don't know how to describe what I am feeling right now. Pain, sorrow, excitement? I can't tell what exactly. It's as if I am emotionless. Victoria and I sit calmly in a business jet, on our way to Washington DC to see her aunt, Zelda.

I never wanted to come even though I missed Zelda’s son, Dan. Zelda is as crook and cranny as Dante. I wouldn't be surprised if I later find out she's also behind whatever is it that is between me and Victoria.

“You don't look happy,”

I raise my face and see Victoria staring at me, a glass of red in her hand. I wanted to reply her, but I just decide to forget about it. If I don't look happy, do I have to be happy looking always?

“And you don't look sad either”

Her voice again. This time around, she balances her first utterance. I turn to look at the window, it's all cloudy outside… and obviously more calm. The humming sound of the engine makes it perfect.

“Sometimes, I wonder if I am the only one who feels horny when being ignored”

Victoria’s words catch my attention. I look at her. Is she indirectly trying to tell me she's horny, or that she likes it when I ignore her?

She adjusts her cleavage, and I can't help but stare. These days, she always have ways of alluring me to make love with her. But this time around, I don't feel like I am in the mood.

“Sir,” one of the pilots suddenly walked into the cabin, “we won't be able to land and our destination due to some minor issues. We are being diverted to another airport” he announces as Victoria adjusts herself.

“What's going on?” I ask.

“It's one of the main hydraulics, sir”

One of the hydraulics? Does that mean we are going to crash? I almost asked that question, but I quickly compose myself.

“Alight. Just do what you can to get us down safely. You can can have everything repaired as soon as we touch ground” I professionally said, masking my fear.

“Okay sir” he returns back to the cockpit.

Victoria looks a bit scared. She huffs, fastens her seatbelt and looks around the cabin which doesn't seem to be faulty or anything. I almost break into laughter staring at her, but I try to control myself.

“What if we die,” I pause and watch as she glances at me with a wrinkle brow. “and Zelda never gets to see us, and home mourns us forever?”

“What?”

Her expression says it all, she's scared. Now is my time to instil fear in her. And possibly, manipulate her mind.

“It's all going to happen in seconds. You won't even feel the pain. Mom is going to feel it though. Dante too, and…” I haven't completed my statement when she screams,

“That's not happening, Damien. Why are you even acting strange? Just stop it!”

Now, I laugh.

For some unknown reason, she smiles. But still, I can see the fear on her face as she finally stops and huffs.

Our plane touches the ground soon after. We are greeted by the emergency landing ground crew.

As the plane is about to be inspected, Victoria and I are escorted to a nearby hotel. It's not what I expected, but at least it's better than the hell and I went through searching for… Seraphina.

Talking about Seraphina, it's actually been long and every blessed day I think about her as if my mind is going to blow. I know, for sure, nobody can take her place in my heart no matter how they try.

Moving on will be hard for me. Maybe if I had acknowledged the feelings I have for her long time ago, I would have thought extensively on how to successfully have her. Now everything seems impossible.

I may not get her today. But I will try one day. Maybe I will be lucky.

Mom calls Victoria. As they speak, she asks of me. Victoria extends the phone to me after telling her I am fine. I can't take the phone. I just shake my head, Victoria nods in acknowledgement and tells mom I am kind of busy now.

When the call ends, my phone rings. I thought it's mom but it's my secret agent and investigator. The one I hired to watch Nicholas closely and get me information about his relationship with Kate.

I pick the call and place it on my ear. Victoria's eyes on me her expression, she probably thinks it is mom.

The agent only sigh.

“Are you going to say something or remain quiet?” I say to him.

Victoria now knows it's not mom.

“Kate is pregnant,” he announces.

Pregnant? Did I just heard him say Kate is pregnant?

I am shocked.

Has it really gone that far, her relationship with Nicholas?

We haven't finished our investigation to know whether he's playing games
with her or not, and now she's pregnant for him?

Nicholas is indeed a badass!
