5. Children's father

IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM

Damien looked at his bloodied hand without blinking his eyes. Broken glass pieces were pricking his hand badly but he didn't feel anything. His head was numb thinking about everything that had just happened.

Who was Aaron? Why did she get so restless and worried after hearing the news about him? Why was she caring so much about another guy? And what was wrong with her?

The way she cluelessly asked him those questions, that only meant one thing. She doesn't remember those incidents. Was she suffering from a memory loss or was it all a pretence? What was she trying to gain by doing this? Why did she return after so long? What's her motive?

"Arabella, you seem to forget my words three years back. I am going to keep my promise. I will turn your life into a living hell from now." He said slowly with pure hatred for her before picking up his phone from the table and dialling a number.

"Hello, I need you to do something for me." He said on the phone and waited for the other person to speak up. "I need you to run a background check on a woman's life for the last three years. I want to know every detail of what happened in her life. From her medical report to work life. Everything." Damien said and again waited for the other person to reply.

"All I know is her name and where she had been in these three years. Arabella Smi-... Anderson. Arabella Anderson, from Paris." Damien answered before cutting the call after bidding bye to that person.

The person was a very trustworthy person and meant a lot to him. Being a youngest billionaire and an heir of a big fortune doesn't allow him to have a lot of close and trusted people in his life.

Damien walked around and picked up the file which had his information. He flipped through the pages with a dark look on his face.

"Gotta match with my ex-wife in the game which she started." He said to himself with a smirk when suddenly someone entered the room.

"Oh my god, Damien! You hand! It's bleeding. Let's go to the hospital. You need to get it treated!" Monica shouted in shock before dragging him out of the room.

IN THE HOSPITAL

"DOCTOR! NURSE! Please help my son!" Arabella's anxious and angry voice ranged into the empty hallway of the hospital.

She failed Aaron. By the time she had reached home, he had already fainted and an ambulance was called. She almost had a panic attack but controlled herself with a lot of difficulty. She was crying and her daughter, Ariana, was crying. They were a mess but luckily Shawn got everything handled and currently they were back to the hospital.

Ariana fell sick as well. She has a fever. Her immunity system was already weak from her birth and now seeing her unconscious brother and distressed mother, the poor girl couldn't take it. Her petite body couldn't take it anymore and got a high temperature.

Arabella was scared to death watching both her children falling sick in front of her for the first time ever that too at the same time.

Now she was here at the hospital, at ten at night with her babies, desperately calling for a doctor to treat them. Suddenly a nurse rushed toward her.

"What happened, ma'am?" She asked worriedly while looking at her babies in stretcher.

"My… my son... He fainted.. and…and my daughter… she has a high temperature.. call for a doctor." Arabella roared at the poor nurse.

"Miss Anderson." The doctor who was taking care of her son's case came in front of her and she let out a sigh in relief.

"Doctor, my son… my daughter…" She couldn't complete her sentence due to stress but the doctor understood it. He looked at the nurse.

"Take the girl inside and check up on her. And arrange the operation theatre ready. In case we need to perform the surgery." The doctor ordered and the nurse nodded at him before running inside a room with Ariana in her arms. Arabella looked at the doctor worriedly as he continued to check up on her son. His look wasn't promising.

"What's wrong, doctor?" Arabella asked in a worried tone seeing the look on the doctor's face.

"Miss Anderson, we need to perform the surgery in an emergency. His heart is getting weak." The doctor said in urgency, making her look at him in fear.

"Then what the fuck are you waiting for? Start the damn operation!" Arabella shouted in desperation.

"But there is a problem." The doctor said in a nervous tone, making her frown.

"What is it?" She asked, calming down a little. She understood she cannot help in the situation by freaking out. Two of her babies were in the hospital and they needed her.

"Aaron's blood group is AB negative. The rarest blood in the world and we currently don't have it in our blood bank. Your blood group doesn't match with his. We need blood urgently to do the operation." The doctor explained the situation and she grabbed her head in frustration, unable to think what to do at that moment.

"What to do now? Try connecting other hospitals and other blood banks? Save my son at any cost!" She almost begged, not knowing what else to do.

"Miss Anderson, most of the time in such cases, one of the parents carries the same blood. Aaron might get lucky and share the same blood as his father. We don't have any information about his father. Could you please contact him and ask him to come here?" The doctor suggested and her mind went blank.

Aaron and Ariana's father? How was she going to call him when she doesn't even know or remember who their father was? What was she going to do-...?

Her train of thoughts got cut in the middle when her eyes fell on the person just coming out of one of the dressing rooms. His right hand was bandaged and he had a dark look on his face as always. His eyes fell on her and a frown appeared on his face as he stopped walking.

Damien Rodriguez.

"There is my children's father."

He heard her loudly and clearly.
