When Lia said ten steps I didn't expect it to be exactly ten steps. Its scary how accurate her estimations were. I jog on the spot before sprinting all the way back home.

It's been two years since I've given birth and I'm still trying to remove the baby fat. I'm not ashamed of my body because my daughter was heaven sent. But I miss the way I was before and I was slowly achieving my goal. Just time and patience.

Lia was waiting at the door with a smile on her face. "You've done well. I have breakfast ready."

"Thank God because I am famished." I was glad Neveah-Angel was still a sleep. I know her name is long, but I couldn't choose between the two so I make both into one.

Neveah woke up just as I finish breakfast. I enter the nursery and took her from the crib.

"My little angel."

"Mama." I place her on the changing table and remove her night wear and diaper before getting a fresh set and going to my room.

I should be starting work soon so I better hurry and get us ready. I work from home as a copy editor and I'm damn well good at my job. I wrote over six romance novels in the last two years and they were a success.

After showering I dress Neveah and then myself before going downstairs. "There's my precious angel." And there goes my daughter probably for the rest of the day.

I turn my laptop on and I already got work. I'm determined to finish it before the day is over because tomorrow is Neveah check up day. She's healthy but its expected.

Halfway through the day Neveah came creepy towards me with a toothy smile.

"Mama." I set my laptop aside and pick her up.

"Some is hungry now." I get up and walk to the kitchen. I have sliced up some fruits yesterday so I get it from the fridge and put it in her bowl.

I went back to the living room and place her on the floor. She immediately start eating. I forgot her water so I went to get it.

Now that her attention was on her plate I went back to work.

"Dia we have to go into the office. They are having a get together to welcome the new boss."

"New boss? Who do we need a new boss?"

"A man from the Silverman family bought it. He better be as sweet as Mr. Ben."

"What time? I need to let mom and dad know I'm dropping off Neveah."

"Eight."

"OK we got time." Lia went back to work and I finish up. My butt was number but I got to make some money.

I send in my work and stretch. I grab my phone and text mom so she knows what's up. They are always more than happy to have the grandkids over. They have five grandkids. My sister has three, my brother has one and then Neveah make the very last one.

We're rather proud that we can make them have grandkids to bound with. They aren't getting any younger. I hope one day I can get the boy but for now I'll spend as much time with my little angel.

The party was in buzzing with the main top of conversation the new CEO. Quite frankly I don't see what to talk about. It was just a new boss.

Lia went to socialize, probably getting juicy gossip from the older women.

"Dia hi! Its been so long since I last saw you."

"Anabel! It feels like ages. Second child?"

"Fourth. I have a set of twins one year old."

"Wow. You're turning into a supermom."

"The mom part yes but the super I don't know about. I'm not having anymore after this one. I want to be able to sit and don't have to rush to the bathroom every minute."

"I feel your pain even if it's been two years. But nothing can beats the feeling of motherhood."

"Facts. Oh I need to use the bathroom. I hope to see you again soon."

"You too."

"Welcome everyone. As most of you know I'll be retiring and this company will be under new management. Its been a pleasure working with all of you and I hope the new CEO will think the same. Everyone put your hands together for Domenico Silvestri."

Domenico Silvestri? It can't be the same person can it?

It was!

My jaws hit the well shine floor when he step out beside Mr. Ben. He look so...grown-up from when I last saw him. The last time I saw him we were twenty one. We have different paths so we went different ways.

"Hello everyone. I don't have much to say but I hope in the future we have can have a wonderful work relationship. Thank you."

"Dia! Is that who I think it is?"

"Yeah."

"Wow. Just wow. I know I spot that witch he call mother. Though I was hallucinating."

"It doesn't matter anyway. Still can't believe Mr. Ben is retiring."

"I know. I'm gonna miss the old man."

"Dia sweetheart."

"Mr. Ben."

"Its good to see such a face. How have you been and how is my little girl?"

"She's as energic as ever. How is Malia?"

"She's hanging in there."

"I'm coming by the hospital tomorrow so I'll visit her."

"She'll love that. She's waiting on your next book."

"It will be out next month. Just some final touches going on."

"Good. I need to keep my collection going." I chuckle. "Have you met your new boss yet?"

"Nope."

"We can't have that." He grab my hand and pull me behind him. "He has to know what he's getting when he running this company."

I exchange a look with Lia and her face said it all.

Its not a reunion either of us want.

"Mr. Silvestri. I have someone I want you to meet. This is Diamond Dion."

"Mr. Silvestri. Its a pleasure getting to work under you."

I held eye contact with him not showing anything.

"Its a pleasure getting to work with you Ms. Dion."

"She's our top editor and also a Bestselling author."

"Is she? I must have miss those."

I want to roll my eyes but that would be impolite since he's now my boss.

"Do you use this company?"

"No. Anyway not to be rude but Lia and I better get going. Mr. Ben I will see you tomorrow."

"You too dear."

I grab Lia and pull her away.

"I hope that never happen again."

The next morning I woke up early and did some cleaning since Neveah wasn't here to pull everything back up. Lia make breakfast while still complaining about last night. I forget about the interaction already.

I don't keep living in the past and that's exactly what he is. I don't think I want to be in that family again. Her mother hate me because she think I was keeping her son away from his destiny. I've had enough and everything. I move away and continue my studies away. I came back when Neveah was born to be closer to my parents.

I'm not mixing past with present. That never ends well.

"Breakfast ready." I went to wash my hands before taking a seat.

"What's your plan for today?"I asked.

"We need groceries so I'm getting that and I'm out of shampoo so I need to stack up again. I think that's it."

"Then I'll probably see you. Oh get feeding for Neveah since your going grocery shopping. I was thinking of going after leaving the hospital but since you're going."

"I'll pick it up."

"Thanks." I finish eating and load the dishwasher. I head upstairs to take a shower and get ready to pick Neveah up.

After I was ready I grab my handbag and head downstairs.

"I'm going so I'll see you later."

"OK." I grab the keys from the hook and head out.

There wasn't much traffic so I get to my parents quickly. They were in the driveway with Neveah running around.

"Mama!"

"Hey angel. Hi mom. Hi dad."

"She was a perfect angel."

"She always is."

"Mama."

"Oh you're giving me a leaf."

"Yes." I pinch her chubby cheeks before lifting her up.

"I didn't remember packing this outfit."

"Your father bought it when he went out."

"I couldn't resist."

"Its cute. I better get going. Tell grandma and grandpa bye."

"Bye bye."

"Bye sweetheart."

I strap her into her carseat before getting into the driver's seat. I want to my parents before driving away.

"Mama coco."

"You want coco melon?"

"Yes!" I turn the mini screen on and play the one she was already watching.

By the time we reach the hospital she was singing as high as her little voice can go.

I park in a empty spot and got out. I grab her bag and put my purse in before unbuckling her.

"Angel wait for mommy." I lock the car and hurry after her. I push the door open so she could enter.

"Angel."

"Hi." The nurses here love her.

I sign in and went take a seat as we wait for the doctor. She busy herself with the puzzles on the table while I work. I keep a eye on her because for a tiny person she move fast.

"Ms. Dion this way please."

"Come on Angel."

She ran ahead with the doctor. We enter the room and the doctor place her on the bed to sit.

I sit and let him do his thing.

"She's very healthy. Has she has an allergic reaction or anything since the last time you come?"

"No. She doesn't seem to be allergic to anything but nuts."

"That's good. I hope it stays that way." Me too. "I'll see you at your next appointment."

"Bye!"

"Bye Angel." I walk out of the room as Angel run ahead of me.

"Ow!"

"Angel! Sweetie are you ok?"

"Is she ok?" Not now!

"She's fine." I pick her up and look at her forehead. "You're ok."

I look up before my eyes were on the woman beside him. "If you'll excuse me."

"Dia wait."

"Don't call me that. Only people close to me get to call me that."

I walk away and head to the cancer ward. I step into the elevator and as the doors close he was still standing there looking at me.

I release a breath when the doors close. I glad be didn't see her face properly because there's no doubt who her father is. From the hair to the eyes and that damn birthmark she was born with.
