At Ina apartment.

Ina was talking over the phone with Damien.

"Did you eat lunch?" Damien asked.

"Hmm, yes, Alison is very good at cooking." Ina replied as she lay down on her bed.

"When you will be able to come again?" Ina asked and heard him speak with his secretary before he replied to her.

"Next week." He replied.

"I saw your mother today." Damien said and heard A gasp.

"Relax, she didn't see me, I was in the car when I saw her." He added.

"It's good that she didn't see you." Ina said and suddenly started to feel that pain all over her body.

"I might have enjoyed her scolding me early in the morning." Damien joked and heard nothing from Ina.

"Ina, are you there?" He asked when he heard nothing from her.

Taking a deep breath, Ina tried to sound normal so he wouldn't suspect anything.

"I'm here, I was drinking some water." She replied, lying.

"Hmm, you should go and get some rest now, I will call you later." Damien said.

"Okay,. talk to you later." She said before she hung up the phone.

Ina thru the phone on the bed and tried to take deep breaths hoping that the pain would go away but was getting worse, she clutched the sheets under her tightly as her eyes teared up.

"ALISON." Ina called with a loud voice hoping that the old woman will be able to hear her.

"You called for me to miss Ina." Alison said as she entered the room and saw the girl's pale face.

Rushing towards her, she asked." Miss Ina, are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?"

Alison panicked hearing how the young miss was whimpering.

"No, just give me a painkiller, a strong one." Ina said as she breathed heavily.

No need to be told twice, Alison rushed out of the room to get the painkiller for her and returned quickly with the medicine.

After taking the medicine, it took her about fifteen minutes for the medicine to work and the strong pain left her exhausted.

"Don't tell Damien about this." Ina said as she was now laying down on the bed feeling her body had become very weak and her eyes started to get heavy.

Alison nodded her head and left the room to leave the young miss to rest.

Ina waited until Alison closed the room before she closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

She was scared and didn't know what to do, the doctor had said that she is alright, then what is happening to her.

Ina curled up her body in a fetal position and closed her eyes hoping that when she wakes up everything will be alright.

At Owen apartment.

Owen was looking at Katherine who had fallen asleep on the couch while waiting for him, he brought the blanket and covered her body with it before he sat across from her.

He was thinking about the right way to ask Katherine to move in with him and live here, they have known each other for more than seven months now and in his opinion, this is a very good period that they spent to know each other.

Now the question is, will she say yes if he asks her, Owen runs his hand through his hair feeling nervous for the first time in his life.

He had decided that he would speak to her today before he took her back to her sister's house.

...

At Ryan apartment.

Nora stood in front of the closed door of their apartment feeling very anxious to knock on the door.

Ryan had asked her to come to his apartment today for a change since he is always the one who comes to her.

Their relationship had grown closer but she still doesn't know what she should call their relationship, they keep meeting secretly and spend some time together, he had never made a move on her and he always respects her space and this is one of the things that she loved about him.

Knocking on the door, Nora waited for him to open the door.

The door was opened and there he was standing at the doorstep in his casual clothes.

"Come in." He said as he moved from the door to allow her to come inside.

Nora walked forward, entering the apartment and looked around her before she looked back at him.

Ryan offered her a warm smile as he closed the door and led her towards the living room before he went to the kitchen to bring for her something to drink

Placing the cup on the table Infront of her, he sat beside her.

"I thought that you won't come." Ryan said as he watched how she was avoiding looking at him and he found it to be adorable.

Nora tugged her hair shyly behind her ear.

"I wanted to see what your house looks like." She replied, still not looking at him.

"And how you found it to be, is it good?" He asked and saw her nod her head.

"Yes, it's very warm and cosy, I love it." She replied and finally lifted her head to look at him and saw him smile as tilted his head.

"You finally looked at me and here I thought that you wouldn't look." He said as he cupped the sadness of her face, looking into her eyes.

Nora blushed, lowering her eyes but not her face.

"Let me show you around the apartment." Ryan said as he stood up and offered her his hand.

Nora stood up too and placed her hand in his and he started to show her around the house, as he was showing her, Nora discovered that Ryan is very neat as everything was well organized and clean, she noticed the many frames that were hanging on the wall all for the same women that it looked just like Ryan, she must be his mother, she thought to herself as he showed her around the place.

"That is my mother." Ryan said as he looked at Nora who was starting at the picture frame with curious eyes.

"She is beautiful." Nora said as she looked at the other picture frames.

"She is." Ryan replied and they moved to see his bedroom.

Opening the door for her and turning on the lights, Nora walked inside and started to look around the room, it was neat and clean as the rest of the house, the room had white walls giving her a warm and relaxing vibe, she looked at his white bedsheets and smiled, it seemed that Ryan was just like her like to put white sheets for the bed and white curtness along the sunlight to enter the room.

"It feels different here, it's like here is warmer and relaxing than the rest of the house." Nora said as she looked outside the window at the beautiful view.

Ryan, who was leaning on the door, pushed himself and walked towards her.

"I'm glad that you like it." Ryan said as he came to stand beside her.

Nora looked at him from the corner of her eyes before she looked back outside the window and blushed forcefully.

Ryan is a handsome man who carries himself well, his presence alone can make her nervous and feel like there are butterflies in her stomach.

"Can you stay for dinner?" Damien asked as he turned to look at her.

Nora sighed as she looked up at him.

"I'm sorry, I can't, even now I barely sneaked out of the house to come here. It's very unusual for me to go out a lot, so my mother started to notice and ask me where I'm going." Nora replied feeling embarrassed.

Patting her head gently, Ryan said."It's alright, we can always see each other on some other days."

Ryan noticed how Nora was looking at him and how she looked like she was out of breath every time he touched her.

"There is something I always wanted to do since the day I met you but I held myself back because I didn't want to scare you." Ryan spoke in a low voice as he pushed her against the window glass placing his hands on either side of her head, trapping her so she wouldn't run away from him.

Nora gulped softly as she stared at his green eyes that were staring back at her and felt her heart beating fast in her chest and clutched the sides of her skirt nervously as he brought his face closer to her.

She knew that this moment would eventually come and honestly she was waiting for it to come.

Ryan brought his face closer to her but he didn't do anything else, he just stayed like this watching her reaction and she was completely defenceless, surrendering herself easily to him.

This was easier than he thought it would be.
