30 Chapter 27: I'll Break You To Get You

Leslie's P.O.V.

6 weeks later.....

It's been six weeks since Damien's proposal, six weeks since his offer. Six weeks since I've seen him. After his proposal he then travelled to visit his parents saying he had unfinished business he had to take care of. A part of me wondered why he had to stay away for so long just to take care of family business but then I decided not to overthink things and just focus on myself. We didn't speak much but he made sure he called at least once in while to check on me. Today is the first time I'll be going to get a proper check up from the doctor and Damien made it back just in time for the baby's appointment. We've agreed that the wedding will take place in a week and it's going to be short and simple with a few family and friends with trusted reporters to publish the right article without attracting the paparazzi.

At two p.m. on the dot, I change into white strap top and skinny jeans with some flat black boots and grabbed my bag to go meet Damien by the car where he's already waiting with Morgan. She decided to tag along with me to be my confidence boost since have been a nervous wreck. The first two weeks of my pregnancy drained me literally, I threw up all the time couldn't choke down anything. I was too grumpy, nagged alot and a total arse because I felt miserable inside out. But I was able to pull through thanks to Morgan.

The worst phase was always being dizzy and nausea I wonder why it's called Morning sickness when it just doesn't stick to his supposedly name.

I step out of Morgan's flat. Which has now become the home. Damien looks breathtakingly gorgeous in his black long sleeved top with a black suit jacket and black slacks and loafers. He definitely stood out in his expensively lavish looks, even when told to dress in a casual way. we've been keeping our engagement and the baby a secret. Morgan is putting  wearing a tank top, and a blue jean, and she looks fascinatingly beautiful. With her long brown hair and green eyes.

"Ready?" He asks me and kisses me gently before helping me into the car.

"Yep, I've got everything I need." I reply smiling.

Morgan gets in the back, grinning widely at us as she winks. We set off towards the hospital.

I'm really hoping the paparazzi won't find out about this. A part of me is kinda sacred that things has being silent maybe too silent on my side, and a part of me is also happy with the silence.

"But something tells me it won't be all that quiet. Since luck wasn't really a bestie of mine".

We arrived at the hospital earlier than expected. We go straight inside and I checked in. We were lead to a private VVip waiting room" I raise an eyebrow at Damien who just smirks in response.

Once the nurse leaves the room, I look at him annoyed slightly.

"Thought of everything, huh?" I ask him, teasing. Well it was smart of him to have prepared before hand.

"I had to make sure you'll be safe in here. Besides this hospital is part of the company so we won't need to be worried about anything" He replies with a  serious look on his face.

"you should've told me earlier" I then grumbled at him. Feeling like an idiot, of course he'll have prepared everything in advance.

"Don't worry, you'll do just fine"He says as he grabs me by my shoulders.

He smiles at me and leans over to kiss me just as the door opens and an older lady in white lab coat moves in .

"Miss Ruffle?" she confirms. I nod and smile at her. "Hi,I'm Doctor Grey. I'll be your OBGYN until you have your baby. Now would you like to follow me to my office?" She asks us kindly.

We get up and went after her down the hall and into a large room. She takes a seat beside the computer and motions for me to lie down on the bed beside it.

I felt nervous as I compel my nerves to stay calm. I look around the office and notice how nice it was decorated. Trying to be distract myself.

Morgan then gives my hand a reassuring squeeze smiling at me mouthing "You go girl"Making me laugh a little.

"So Miss Ruffle, when was your last period?" She asks professionally.

"Ten weeks ago." I murmur

"Okay, have you been having unprotected sex before then?" She asks briskly.

I blush, and shake my head.

"No. I haven't been sexually active in a while and when I was we didn't use any protection." I mumble, immediately Damien also grabs my hand, his touch assuring me.

While the doctor is busy in front of her computer.

"Okay, so that makes your due date around the 20th of September. I'm going to do an ultrasound to check if everything is going as it should." She says smiling at me brightly.

Nodding, I lift my shirt and let her splash some sticky, cold gel onto my belly.

She grabs a grey wand thing, and presses it onto my stomach. I watch fascinated, as the screen changes, and I could see the baby immediately.

The heart beat resonating in the room with a loud thump and thud!"Joy and tears slip from my eyes as I smile at the scene on the screen.

"This is real, I am pregnant"I thought although the view in the screen isn't all that clear but its still visible you can already make out the general shape, especially the head.

Damien grabs my hand, turning my attention from the screen. He's staring at the monitor in awe.

"Well there it is. Your baby's measurements are all exactly right for the dates you've given me. You are exactly nine weeks today, so your due date will be the 21th of September, like I said before. Would you like some pictures?" She asks us gently.

"Oh yes, please?" I say eagerly.

I turn to stare at Morgan who had gone very still and exceptionally quiet. I looked a bit stunned by the tears rolling down her face.

"Morgan, what's wrong?  I ask her confused.

She nods and smiles, confusing me but with tears slipping from her eyes.

"My friend is a baby mama now. Who will go clubbing with me?"She says tearfully with a dramatic tone.

"Oh Morgan, always with the jokes."I murmur .

"You Lucky bitch! Am happy for you. You get to pop out a little mini version of Damien roaming around you how cute is that" She says smirking.

I just shake my head at her, and turn back to the screen, smiling.

The doctor goes out of the room, leaving us alone for a while. Once she comes back in, she's carrying a small envelope.

"Here are the pictures from the ultrasound." She smiles and hand the small envelope to me. Now, make sure you take the vitamins regularly, okay?" She says me.

"Okay. Every morning." I assure her.

"Okay, well you're certainly very healthy, and the baby looks great. Any morning sickness?" She asks.

"Not anymore, no."

"Well, good to hear that. I'll arrange another appointment at the sixteenth weeks, but until then if you need me my number is on your notes, right here," she shows me her number at the top. "You need to bring these notes to every appointment, too." She tells me firmly.

"Okay, thank you." I reply taking them from her and put them into my bag safely.

Damien then helps me up, after I've wiped my stomach clean with a napkin and we all head back outside.

I feel completely dazed. I finally got to see my baby and it was really amazing.

After getting into the car, we're all silent as we drive through town. I grab my bag and took the picture out as I just stare at it in amazement.

My little jelly beans so cute!

We arrive back at Morgan's house in no time at all.

Damien unlocks the car door for us and Morgan rushes off upstairs while loudly saying something about "Lack of PDA" as she goes past us. Damien turns and grabs me, pulling me gently against him and hungrily crashes his lips onto mine.

We got too engrossed with our business we didn't come to realize we have company until someone clears their throat loudly behind us making us both jump.

I turned around and frown when I came to see a very scary familiar blonde. Judging by the pissed off look on Damien's face and on mine at the appearance of Vivian, Who pops up .

"What the hell are you doing here?" He asks, sounding angry and cold.

"I came to see the new 'It couple'. You see, I've heard from my dad you cancelled the arranged marriage and I want to know why you want to throw away your future. I just can't believe you're really into this. I mean we've been together for half our life's. Have been a lover, friend and business partners to you and you've never let me in or even this close. This bitch has just been around for what? "Two months?"She shouts angrily at us.

Damien steps in front of me in a  protective stance and moves forward.

"How dare you call her a bitch? Don't you dare compare yourself with her. She's nothing like you."He musters angrily.

"She can't help you, I can. I don't see why you don't want to push through with this marriage. It will benefit both our companies and us both"She says, moving close to Damien as she grabs his hand in a pleading manner.

"You need help Vivian. You don't look okay"He says.

"I love you Damien. As a child have been brought up to always get the things I wanted. I can give it all up just for you, have never wanted anything this much in my life. only I can be your wife, the one for you. Me and no one else." She says with tears slipping from her eyes. A pang of guilt and jealousy slip into me as her watch the expression on her face as she breaks down. The perfect pretty blonde was no more.

What we had before is pure lechery and that's surely not what's happening between me and Leslie. I intend to marry her and would like if you would please respect her and stop the person you sent to tail her. No more Vivian, if you still want me to give you the respect you deserve or  to be your friend you'll do what I say Now please get the fuck out of here." He shouts back at her.

She then sends a hateful glare my way and I reciprocate it with a sweet smile making her stop and stare at me confused.

"Why are you smiling, bitch?" She screams with her face red and blotchy with tears.

"Nothing."I reply, maybe it was mean to smile when she was on the brink of falling apart but I didn't want to be on the sideline of her hateful glee.

She screams, all her bluestocking manner and behavior now abandoned and thrown under the bus as she kneel whimpering to Damien to take her back.

Damien grabs her back to her feet saying...

"You don't have to make things this difficult. I've already explained to our parents about cancelling this merger, and they've agreed so I think you should just let this go. We've had our fun shouldn't we at least maybe leave a little respect between the two of us"He then says a very cold and gruff tone. I could feel shivers run through my spine as he turns and sounds like a stranger to me.

"Is this how he treats his Mistresses, when he's done with them? "Will he do the same with me"I thought feeling awfully cold.

"Fine, since I can't have you, I'll have to break you to get you"She says with her words sounding like some kind of promise. As she wipes her tears from her eyes fixing her hair and her perfect heiress mojo back on before our eyes.

"I don't think so darling, Get out! Stay away from us, and if ever I find you causing problems or making shit up like this, I swear I can't promise what I might do to you.Just remember all the files I have on you that could ruin and drag you down forever" Xavier threatens her

"Files, what files? "I echo in my head. Confused and bothered by the scene unfolding before me. What even bothered me most is the way Vivian said those words"If I can't have you, I'll breaks you to get you" with a sonorous deep look of hate while staring into my eyes. It felt like her words seared and marked me.

She gasps at Damien's threat about the mysterious file . Now looking red trying to control her anger as she marched off to her sport car. Stopping to glance at us saying...

"Enjoy it while it lasts, Because I'll be coming to shred you both into pieces. And you Damien, you better be ready to use those files because I ain't backing down. I know you love me, you're just being distracted and am willing to wait. But not for long"She murmurs as she holds the handle of her car down.

"Come to me while you still can if you don't want me to soil my hands. I hate scenes like these from chessy soap operas, makes one look pathetic. So am going to do it in a neat and slyful style. My way."Vivian says, with a flip of her hair as she gets into her car and drives off.

Damien turns to me and scans me trying to check if I happen to be hurt though the wench didn't get anywhere close to me, But her threats did. I mean who wouldn't be threatened or bothered by her words.

"And what did butt, did she mean by breaking damien"I thought to myself.

"Are you okay? I'm so sorry for the trouble, cara.I thought she had gotten the message when I broke off the marriage. Now I feel sick just thinking about her."He says with an apologetic tone.

Dumbfounded and scared, not knowing what to say. A part of me fears one day I might turn out to be Vivian 2.0. besides he had a fling too with Vivian what made me any different, well except for the fact that am pregnant with his child of course.

But seeing the crazed look of anger, betrayal and love on Vivian's face  which has turned her into a Maniac made me feel pity on her and fear for my self. If I don't make this so called marriage or merger something that could last forever then my own love for him could be my downfall"Dread and fear slip through my bones.

"The fact that I had fallen for him so easily, scares the crap out of me".

"Leslie?"He calls out with a worried and concerned look.

"Are you okay"?He asks.

Before I could say another word tiny hiccups errupt from me.

Damn it!!!

"Let's go in"He says, taking me in his arms as he pulls me into Morgan's flat.

"Oh Crap"

"Fml, Am such a mess"I thought, why do I get hiccups at the wrong moments. I mentally tap myself for being this way.

"The disaster queen strikes again!

"The great mystery now is, how to get Damien to like like like me"I thought to my self, replaying the words over and over again in my head.
