The Dragon's Angel ✔

26 | Uninvited Guests

Every time I'm at my mansion, I'm always taking care of baby Camila while Bryce and Maria work around the house. Whenever I see them relaxing, I scold them. If they want to relax, they should finish up everything first or do it where I don't see them. I have Maria take care of Camila first before she works, but for some reason, her baby can't stop crying which drives her crazy so I do it for her. So I guess, I'm like babysitting in my own house. She can't carry her baby around too long anymore because her arms are in pain. Bryce isn't really great at handling the baby too. I caught him passed out on the floor once after he tried to change the babies diapers. Camila's waste don't smell good at all. Babies who are breastfed have sweet smelling wastes unlike the bottle fed ones. I've asked Maria why she doesn't breastfeed and she hates it when Camila bites her boobs. 

"Tomorrow is Camila's birthday," I said, sitting in the living room while Maria was wiping the windows. "What do you have planned for tomorrow?" 

She looks at me like she forgot her daughter's birthday, then shrugs a little, "Not much, I guess. Maybe just have a picnic in the garden." 

I nod at her, going back to rock Camila in my arms who's fast asleep after finishing her milk. Tomorrow, this angel will be turning 1. I can't believe it, time goes by fast. She is going to grow up into a fine young lady. 

"Alyssa?" I look up to see Maria standing in front of you, looking unsure. 

"Yes?" I ask quietly. 

She looks down at her feet, "I've heard your guard call you Lady Dragon many time..."

I nod slowly, "And?" 

She looks up at me, putting her hands together, saying, "By chance, are you the one who paid for Camila's medical bills?" 

"Yes, I've paid 2 times already," I tell her and she looks at me with a wide smile, not sure what to do to show how thankful she is. 

"Thank you, thank you very much!" She exclaimed, making me shush her as Camila starts waking up again, but I start patting her back gently so she sleeps again. I stand up, looking at Maria, "Get to work."

The next day, I found myself smiling widely at the birthday girl dressed in a cute pink dress as her mother holds her. They were in the garden where everything was set up for a few guests. There were pink tables and chairs. Then there's a table with a pink Barbie cake and food set. I've only invited a few people, wanting Camila be surrounded by family on her 1st birthday. Yesterday, I had Charles plan the party for today before I went home with Damian. 

Maria and Bryce stood together with Camila in her arms. Fabio and Malu were standing by the fountain just talking. I walk up to the small family of the birthday girl, taking her from them to wish her a happy birthday. I don't like her parents for what they did to me, but I love this baby too much even though she is not my own. 

"Thank you for inviting us," Bryce's parents tell me after greeting the baby in my arms. 

I just nod at them. They try to make Camila smile but she just keeps turning behind me to Damian who wasn't even trying to make her laugh. She likes Damian. 

"Well, well, well..." I smile when I see my brother enter, my best friend Lora clinging to his arm as they come over. "Happy Birthday, Cammy," Nico smiled at the birthday girl who frowns at him, making Lora and I laugh at her face expression. 

"I hope our future baby doesn't look at me like that," Nico muttered to Lora before going to talk to Damian. Lora hugs me, saying, "Damn, you hot mama."
