Chapter 96

I could smell bacon wafting from downstairs. I had thought that maybe it was Rina who had woken up to make us breakfast but when I turned to find her still asleep in the bed I was confused. I reached for my phone thinking that maybe housekeeping had come in early but then I saw my husband’s text at the very top of my notifications pile.

Damon: Good morning my love, I organized a little something special for you. I hope you enjoy it.

Damon: PS. Drink your ginger tea, it will help to keep the food down. I love you.

Damon: PPS. Our baby is the size of a kidney bean today. So take care of the little bean for me, okay? And take care of my wife for me too. She’s a little stubborn about rest so make sure she gets plenty of it.

I couldn’t help but smile. This man was always doing whatever it took to make me smile. He had thought of every single detail.

Me: I love you too, husband. I love this villa but I do miss you, like crazy.

I turned to my sister and gave the sleeping form a hard shake. She didn’t even budge. The girl slept like the dead and it was both impressive and annoying.

I decided that I needed to try a better approach so I hopped out of bed and made my way to the bathroom to go and retrieve exactly what I was looking for. I filled the glass to the brim with cold water and walked over to the bed.

In the spirit of second chances, I decided that I would give my sister one last chance before I doused her in ice-cold water. “Corinna!” Yes, I did indeed scream her name at the top of my lungs, and like before she was still fast asleep. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you”

I threw the water right onto her face and she shot up so fast I worried that she would get whiplash. Her eyes were wide as she gasped for air. She looked around the room until she landed on me. Her eyes moved from my face down to the glass in my hand.

“Seriously?” She threw her hands up in frustration. “What happened to a gentle nudge!”
