SUGAR BROTHERS
THIRTY EIGHT'S

"You want to go straight to sleep?" damian asked Clara who was lying on the bed, Clara had even covered her body with a blanket up to the neck.

"What else should I do besides sleep? It's already night."

"It's precisely because it's night, aren't we newlyweds? It's supposed to be our first night, right?"

Clara turned her head towards Damian and looked at Damian with her cynical gaze, "First night? You and I have already done it Damian, no it's the first night."

Damian flirted, "Yes, this wasn't our first night, but-"

"But? I'm tired of Damian, anyway we don't have to do it tonight, I'm pregnant with your child."

Damian nodded his head, he rubbed the top of Clara's head gently. "Yes, go to sleep, I'll take a shower and sleep with you later. You go to bed first."

Although Damian's heavy heart relented, he actually imagined he would spend a hot night with Clara.

After all if indeed her goal was just to satisfy Damian could do her another time, Clara was already pregnant with her child. The first night was not their first night.

Clara felt tired because she was pregnant.

Just as Damian wanted to get into the bathroom, his phone suddenly rang.

"What's Jer?" damian asked after picking up a call from one of his men, Jerico.

"..."

Damian was speechless at Jerico's explanation, Damian glanced at Clara who had fallen asleep. He just got word about Thomas' death and also the news that Diana is now being treated in the hospital because of excessive stress, malnutrition and the like that resulted in him losing the baby in his birth.

Damian could not say a word, he simply asked Jerico to watch over Diana, making sure Diana would not do anything strange later.

Damian closes the call and sneers at his temple, Damian worried that Diana would do something reckless that could hurt Clara later.

Diana was a reckless type of woman, Diana could commit criminal acts just for her own satisfaction. And that made Damian even more vigilant.

***

The next morning Damian meets Diana at the hospital, Damian tells Clara that he has work to do despite the fact that Damian actually met Diana.

"You okay?" damian asked flatly, he was actually a bit sorry to see Diana's pale face.

"Do I look okay in your eyes? I'm tormented Damian! Tormented!"

Damian clucked, Diana did not need to raise her voice. Why was Diana angry with him? All of this happened because of Diana herself.

"You're tormented because of yourself, don't try to bestow all your faults on me."

Diana shook her head, "I was wrong.I got my punishment too, I married you but I betrayed you, I even kept hurting Clara. But can't you give me another chance?"

Damian furrowed his brows, the chance Diana said?

"What do you mean? I'm married to Clara, I can't give you a chance to come back with me. Anyway I love Clara and Clara is pregnant with my child. I know you're sad right now but don't cross your line Diana."

Diana shook her head, "That's not what I mean, I'm not asking for a chance to be your wife again. I'm just asking for a chance from you to live. I can't live like this Damian, I've lost Thomas and my son, I don't have any money. I don't know what else to do. I've tried to find a job but no one wants to accept me, all the hospitals rejected me because of my bad record in the hospital where I worked before."

"theirs?"

"Can't you give me the money, just-"

"Even though you've lost everything and almost died you keep thinking about money? Are you human or not Diana?"

"But I do need Damian's money, I need the money to start my life again, this is my last wish. I will never disturb your family again, I will never appear before you again. I promise you, this is the last time.please have mercy on me, help me Damian."

Damian remained silent, saying nothing until he nodded his head.

"I'll get my men to give you money later, but keep your word. If you break it then I will not hesitate to kill you with my own hands, because I do not want my new life destroyed because of you. Understood?"

After getting a nod from Diana, Damian stepped away leaving Diana still shedding tears.

Diana wasn't lying, she was really going to walk away from Damian. He will leave even if he himself does not know his own destination.

***

"Your business is done?" clara asked when Damian came home with a crumpled face.

Damian immediately kissed Clara's forehead and hugged the woman tightly.

Clara raised her eyebrows, "Is there a problem with Damian?"

Damian shook his head, "It's no big deal, have you eaten?"

Clara nodded her head in response, but Clara's brows furrowed as she smelled the strange scent of Damian's clothes.

"You're out of the hospital? You smell like medicine."

Damian's body stiffened feeling a sense of panic, he quickly denied. "Based on this one pregnant woman, I'm from the office. You've been drinking your pregnant milk, too?"

Damian tried his best to divert the conversation, Damian even let go of his embrace even though he still wanted to hug Clara even longer.

"Yes, I've been drinking it."

"Good then."

Damian wants to go to his study but Clara stops him.

"You got word on Diana's sister?"

Damian made up a lie, Damian didn't want to tell the truth. "What's really going on? You don't remember anything he's done to us?"

Clara let out a heavy sigh, "Sister Diana is indeed guilty, but I can't happily laugh while I don't know how she is right now, maybe he can ignore me but I find it hard to just ignore him. But hearing your words that she has gone abroad with her lover means that she is fine. It's good if he's okay, so I won't feel too guilty."

"Don't think too much about it, it's not all your fault." Damian kissed Clara again. "You don't have to think about anything else, just think about me and our son. You just need to know two things, that I love you and our son, and that I'll keep you as strong as I can."

Clara nodded her head, "I believe in you Damian."

***

Diana kept her promise, while she received money from Damian's men of 500 million, Diana immediately went abroad that day.

He swore he would never return and would never meet Damian or Clara.

Diana only hoped for one thing, hopefully Clara. Brother's happy. Although Diana actually felt disgusted with herself because she just expected the happiness of her sister after all that had happened.

All Diana wanted to say to herself was goodbye.

Goodbye to her rotten, vile, and shameless self.

And also goodbye to Damian and Clara, may they be happy.

And hopefully Diana herself can get her happiness even though she herself does not know she still has the right to be happy or not.

Diana could only hope.

***

3 Years later

Damian calmed Dara who was currently crying in his arms.

Adara Magdalene, Damian's first daughter. Which is currently 2 years old.

Dara cries because the little girl misses her mother, while Clara has not been able to see Dara because she is still keeping their second child in the hospital.

Today their second child was only able to return home after staying in the incubator for a long time because Clara gave birth prematurely.

"Please baby, Mama's coming home soon." Damian patted Dara on the back, trying to calm her little daughter's cries.

Damian was supposed to pick Clara up at the hospital but Adara did not want to let her go, even her daughter did not want to calm down since she woke up from sleep.

Damian understands that Dara misses her mother.

"Ah, that's Mama's home."

Damian with a cheerful voice distracted Dara, making Dara turn to the direction Damian pointed.

Adara's cry grew louder when she saw her mother coming.

But the crying did not last long, the crying suddenly stopped when he saw that Clara did not come alone but came while holding a small baby figure in her arms.

"Bye.by.."

"Dear, it's Baby Lucas."

"peel off?" Her cute chest furrowed her brows, she had a bit of trouble naming her younger brother Lucas.

Clara laughed at Dara's innocence. "This is your younger brother Adara, his name is Lucas Castielo. Which means light bearer and hard worker."

Adara just looked at Clara with a confused look, in her little head she did not understand what she meant the most important thing was that she could see her mother again.

And also he was happy to see a tiny figure in his mother's arms.

"Finally you and Lucas come home too, he's fine, right?" damian asked as he watched Lucas fall asleep in Clara's arms.

Clara nodded her head, "Lucas is fine. He's a strong man just like his father." Clara answered while laughing.

Damian laughed and kissed Clara on the cheek, "Are you tired?"

Clara shook her head, "It's precisely me who should be asking you, are you tired? It must have been hard to keep Dara when she was fussy like this."

Damian laughed again, it was difficult but he was happy to do it. Damian would rather take care of Adara even though Adara is fussy than taking care of her work because with her daughter it is a happiness for her.

Damian turned his attention back to Lucas who was in Clara's arms.

"Growing up to be a strong and proud child, don't be naughty like Papa." Damian said with a laugh, he turned to look at Clara with a big smile. "Thank you for giving me another priceless gift, I love you my wife."

Clara nodded her head, "I love you too, Damian."

Damian brought his face closer to kiss Clara's lips but Adara actually blocked her, making Damian and Clara ended up kissing Adara's cheeks.

Damian and Clara can only laugh at Adara's funny behavior.

They're happy.

Indeed, the relationship between Damian and Clara is not always this sweet, problems must come and go, but everything they will certainly be able to pass.

As long as they trust each other, appreciate and love each other.
