Sorry if this chapter was short, I had a lot of work obligations, and I'm having my final exams so the time is a bit tricky for me and I literally write each chapter the night before. I promise the story will get a lot of exciting events, our villain is just around the corner ready to spice things up. Please stay tuned, like and comment.
"Are you still mad at me?" Domenic asked while I looked out the window as we drove. "Domenic I'm not mad, I just don't want that kind of thing happening all the time." I turn to look at him and drag my hand alongside his until our fingers intertwine. "So far you had a problem with every man that got close to me. And that tells me that you don't trust me." Domenic dragged a hand through his hair and scratched the back of his head like he always does when he overthinks. "I promise it's not that, I just..." He scratched his forehead while searching for words. "I don't think I could bear to lose you, I love you, Autumn. And yes, I see every man as a threat. But I promise I will get that under control, but in the meantime just bear with me for a second." He kissed me gently and then I rested my head on his shoulder when I noticed the driver taking a wrong turn. "I think we are going the wrong way, my apartment is on the other side." I say as I sit up. "I know, I'm taking you to my pla
Domenic's fiancee? No, she can't be. He couldn't have lied to me once again, not like this. "I asked you a question?" She said as she measured me from head to toe while flipping her hair over her shoulder. I just stared at her as my brain tried to get a grasp of the situation. First, he can't be that good at lying to me, all tho he already did it once. Second, she just can't be his fiancee, but then again she just walked in here like she owned the place. But the most important part was the third one, Summer. She wouldn't do this to me, and she wouldn't let her brother do it either. "I'm Domenic's girlfriend." God, it feels so weird to say it out loud and in this situation. She smirked and then sat down on the couch. "Oh please, like he would ever put his eyes on you." She measured me once again now with a touch of disgust and hostility. Oh yeah, she was most definitely not his fiancee and I'm losing my patience. "Well, why don't we ask him?" I say as I turn around and take a deep
"What happened?" I ask and Domenic lifts his hand in the air letting me know to give him a minute as he listens to Summer. My eyes search his face in very until I see him relax."God Summer, just stay where you are I'll come and get you." Domenic ended the call and laughed."What happened? Why are you laughing?" I ask as I sit up. "Summer pepper-sprayed Anthony." She did what now? My eyes widened in surprise."She was waiting for him outside the restaurant, apparently he surprised her from the back so she pepper sprayed him." Domenic explained while trying to hold in the laughter. But it wasn't funny to me. What is Summer doing with a self-defense spray? And she sleeps with her light on. I think she is definitely traumatized by the stabbing, and she is hiding it. "Domenic I don't find it funny. I think Summer is suffering from trauma." "Why would you think that?" Domenic asked as he took a second to think about it."I don't know if you noticed, but ever since she came home from the
I can't help but roll my eyes at the show Alice was trying to pull here because I know what this must look like for anyone who just came in."Why did you push me, Autumn, I was just trying to talk to you." I shake my head in disbelief as I feel Domenic come closer. I didn't need to turn around to know it was him, I smelled his cologne the second the door opened. "What is going on in here?" Domenic asked as he offered his hand to Alice in order to help her up. I don't bother saying, mostly beacuse I am curious to see this play out."I honestly don't know Nick, I was just trying to talk with your girlfriend and she pushed me." Alice's voice was almost theatrically bad, trying to play the victim and putting on a lamb face. Domenic turned to look at me, I wasn't sure what he was thinking but he didn't look mad to me."Baby. anything you might wanna add?" He asked as he stood between us."I didn't push her if that's what you mean." I'm not gonna defend myself any further from that, I have
"What do you mean someone's following you? Who?" Domenic asked all confused but upset at the same time. I was trying to find the right words but I didn't have them."I don't know, today I received an envelope filled with pictures of me from all the places I went to in the last two weeks at least." Just thinking about it makes my body shake from shivers. "And you haven't noticed anything until now?" Domenic got up and walked over to his desk and took his phone."Well no, it's not like I knew to look for abnormalities." I told him as he was typing on his phone. "Who are you texting?" I ask as I get up and walk up to him. "The head of my security team, he's gonna assign you a bodyguard." He says and I instantly put my palm over his phone preventing him from typing."Do you really think that's necessary, maybe Im exaggerating. Or someone is playing a prank on me." I say as I realize it scared him more than it scared me. "No one would put that much effort into a prank, whoever is followi
The beeping sound echoed in my head as I tried to take a big breath when I felt something on my face, with my eyes still closed I tried to take it off when I felt someone's hands stopping me. I slowly opened my eyes adjusting them to the bright hospital lights, disoriented I could only make out Domenic's face before finally taking the mask off my face."Relax baby, breathe." Domenic said before pushing the emergency button to call for the nurse."What happened? Why am I here?" I try to remember what happened but I only remember having trouble breathing before I collapsed on the floor. "There was a gas leak in your apartment, thank God you called me when you did." He says before kissing my forehead and caressing my cheek. "When you weren't answering I went to your place and found you on the floor and brought you here." Domenic sat on the bed next to me as I tried to make sense of everything that was happening."A gas leak, how can that be? I had everything replaced before I moved in, h
I was asleep in Domenic's arms when the crunching sound and the sun coming throw the window woke me up. I lifted my head from his chest and rubbed my eyes, when I opened them I saw Summer sitting in the chair eating pretzels and scrolling on her phone. "What are you doing here?" I say but she doesn't lift her head from the phone, then I notice she has headphones in. I wave my hand in her direction and she lifts her head. "You're awake, thank God." She says as she takes the headphones out. "How are you feeling?" She whispered as Domenic was still asleep. "I'm fine, when did you come here?" I look at the time on my phone as Domenic starts stretching in bed. "A few minutes ago, I didn't see Domenic text until this morning but I rushed over here the second I saw it." I sit up as Domenic opens his eyes and stretches his arms above his head. "I texted her after you fell asleep, otherwise she would have killed me." He says as he sits up as well. Domenic kisses me and then gets out of be
"Ahh, finally at home." Summer said as she took off her shoes and jumped on the couch, I did nothing today but all the waiting was exhausting. How long can it take to read one blood work exam? "I can't wait to take a shower. What time is Anthony coming over?" I ask as I join her on the couch and she glances at the watch on her hand. "At six, you have time. Besides we have to wait for Domenic to bring the food, I'm starving." She says as she places her hands over her stomach. "Where is he anyway? How long can that meeting last he's been gone since this morning and hasn't even called to check up on me." God am I becoming toxic or what? I check my phone and still nothing. Stop it, Autumn, you are being paranoid beacuse of all the recent events. "Maybe Dad sent him to do an assignment, brace yourself because it happens often. My dad thinks Domenic is always on call." "I'm so used to him calling or texting that it just feels weird not to hear from him. I'm gonna at least text him and l
