Chapter 5 - On your way to hell
Last Updated:
2024-01-12 21:23:04I tried to go by my days not thinking about him. But it wasn't easy. All of a sudden I even dreamed about him.
The tipping point for me was when I came home to find a basket full of sweets I used to love, records of the music I used to listen to, a copy of my favorite book, and my old perfume.
The rage suddenly grew inside my chest, my heart was beating like crazy while I took my phone and called Summer.
"Where the hell is your brother?"
"At this time he is at work, why?" She asked intrigued.
"Just send me the address, I'll explain later. And don't tell him I'm coming."
I grabbed the basket and made my way to his workplace. Apparently, Summer called and let the security know I was coming so they let me in. His secretary on the other hand wasn't so welcoming, but I pushed past her into his office.
"I'm so sorry Mr.Davis I tried to stop her." She apologized.
"It's alright Melody, you can leave." He said as he got up from his chair. Damn, why does he have to look so hot in that gray three-piece suit?
"What is this?" I asked him as I pointed to the basket.
"Autumn, I just wanted to show you I still think about you." He said as he came closer.
"The truth is I was never able to forget about you." Domenic stood in front of me, his eyes searching mine.
"I forgot about you a long time ago and I have no desire for a rehash." I say as stand strong.
"You are lying Autumn, you still get that wrinkle on your nose when you lie," He pointed to my nose. He annoyed me so much I grabbed the perfume from the basket and threw it at him. He dodged it and it shattered into a million pieces on the floor spreading the smell all over his office.
"You don't know me Mr.Davis, and I demand you stop this nonsense." My hands started shaking and my heart began to rise to my throat.
"I do know you, gorgeous, and because I know you I also know that earning your forgiveness is going to be a big task." My forgiveness. He wanted my forgiveness?!!
"You want my forgiveness, why? So you can ease your conscience, Mr.Davis." That made him take his eyes off mine and give me the strength I needed.
"No, you can't have my forgiveness, Domenic. I'd rather you take that burden with you on your way to hell." I say as I drop the basket by his feet before turning around ready to leave.
I was almost at the door when I was suddenly pulled back and crushed between the wall and his body.
"What are you doing? Let me go." I told him as I tried to free myself from his hands. His response was to kiss me, Kiss me like he used to, maybe even better. My body relaxed into his like it was muscle memory because my body knew how he hugged me, how he touched me, the way he kissed me.
But my brain knew the pain he caused, so I found it in my self to push him back and tried to make my way to the door. He pulled me back one more time, his face inches from mine. His hands were on my cheeks as he looked me in the eyes and said.
"You loved me once, you will love me again."
And I knew this was only the beginning.
"What is going on here?" We both turned to face the door where Summer was standing looking at us.
I backed up as Domenic dropped his hands from me.
"And what is this smell, you really need to open a window."
She said as she strolled into the office.
"Are you ok?" She asked me.
"I'm fine, I just came here to make some things clear with Mr.Davis. I'm leaving now." I say as I share one last look with Domenic.
"Wait for me downstairs, I'll drive you," Summer offered.
"Yeah, sure."
When I got outside I took a sit at the bench while I tried to process what just happened upstairs.
A moment of weakness I can't repeat. I need my life to go back to how it was before he came back. But Summer, I can't be unjust to Summer.
Speaking of which, here she comes.
"Hey, you could have waited in the car." She said as her driver opened the door.
"It's fine, I needed the fresh air."
"Fresh air by the New Yorks sidewalk? Honey, I need to take you to the Hamptons ASAP." She said as we got into the car.
"Are you ok? I mean Nicky didn't say anything but it was obvious there was tension there." No Im not ok.
"I'm fine Summer, don't worry about it." Let me worry about it. I think to myself as I smile at her.
"Uhh, the fact that I do not know what happened between the two of you will drive me crazy." Summer said as she tossed her phone by her side.
"I won't put you in the middle of this Summer. You are my friend and I'll leave you out of this drama. I can handle it." I reassured her.
"I don't know what's worse, not knowing and wondering. Or the fear that the truth is too horrible to bear."
And that is exactly why I will never tell you.

Two weeks have passed and sure enough, Domenic has kept insisting on talking to me. He didn't come in person every time but the flowers have kept coming in every day."Dinner?" was the only thing written on the card today. The card I threw away and the flowers I gave to Ms, Robin, it would be a shame to throw them into the trash."Do you wanna do something tonight? See a movie or something?" I asked Summer."Ohh I can't tonight. I have a date?" She said happily."With whom?" I asked as I put down a cup and threw a rag on the counter."A guy I meet online." "Why are you meeting people online? You are Summer Davis Jones for God's sake, men are literally chasing you." I say in disbelief."That is because they are after the Davis Jones part, not the Summer part." I can't relate to that problem but I can understand."And this guy isn't?""Well, he is meeting Summer Danes, so…” Ohh I almost forgot about the last name trick she uses."Right, that word game you play with your last name.

We got to an old-looking building, just the look of it gave my mine skin goosebumps. Domenic got out of the car and turned to me."You stay here." He said."Don't be ridiculous." I said as I got out. "Second floor, third door on the left." Said Dominic's security guy and the rest of them, including Domenic and me started running up the stairs. All of a sudden I realized we were going into the place not knowing what was waiting for us in there. "Domenic stop, I know the time is of the essence but we should call the police first. You can't just barge in there, you can get hurt." I said as I unintentionally grabbed his hand."Summer could get hurt." I added."We already called the police Autumn, I'm just not waiting for them." Just as we were about to go in we heard Summer scream and Domenic's man kicked down the door. What I saw next made my blood freeze. Summer was on the ground, blood coming from her stomach as she tried to put pressure on it with her hands. Domenic's man jumped on

Early in the morning, I got up to check on the cafe, which was in perfect order. I don't know how Jess did it but she performed a miracle. I got Domenic's shirt out of the dryer and put it into a paper bag before going to the hospital. I got there just as a nurse was leaving Summer's room. "Good morning, how is she? Did she wake up?" I asked quickly. "She is doing great, she should wake up any moment now." The nurse told me. "Is it ok if I wait inside? I won't disturb her." "Of course, Mr. Davis gave instructions to let you in when you came." He did? "Is he here?" I asked as I looked through the window into Summer's room. "He just stepped out for a coffee. He stayed the whole night." He did. Of course he did. I thanked the nurse and went into the room. When I sat by her bed it occurred to me that I could have bought some flowers. Summer looked pale, her hair a bit tangled. I took her hand in mine and noticed her nails were broken, she must have fought with her assailant. Sudden

I saw him get into the elevator and I jumped in as the doors were about to close. I even surprised him. "Autumn, what are...""What the hell was that?" I interrupted him."What?" He said as he put his arm on the elevator wall next to my head. He was so close his smell surrounded me hazing my mind, but I had to push through it so I walked past him to the opposite wall."I thought we had an agreement, Domenic, we talked about this. We are not friends, one thing is us having to share the same space for Summer, and something completely different is the crap you just pulled off in there." Domenic licked his lips as he walked over to the control board and stopped the elevator."What are you doing?" I asked him as he began to walk towards me, caging me up against the wall with his hands."First of all, I don't remember agreeing to anything you said yesterday, as you recall I didn't say a word. But there is one thing you got right. We are not friends." Domenic said as he drew his body closer

Two weeks later I was standing in the one place I never imagined myself, Domenic's kitchen, trying to save the last piece of toast he just burned."I told you I would do it." I say to him as I try to fish out the toast from the toaster. Iv been coming to his penthouse to help him take care of Summer because she refused to get a nurse, and once I offered it's not like I could take it back. "It's a toast. How complicated could it be?" Said Domenic to which I just waved the burned toast in his face."Does anyone care that I don't even want the toast?" Summer yelled from the living room couch."Fine, I'll make you a smoothie bowl." I yelled back as I moved to the refrigerator and Domenic went to clean the counter. "You don't need to do it, I'll clean it later." I say as I put the fruit on the cutting board. He tossed the bread crumbs aside as he walked over to me from behind pinning my stomach onto the kitchen island as he prests himself against my ass."Since the first time you entered

I didn't come out until I heard the door close. With Summer asleep I decided to cook us dinner. From what Summer had told me, Domenic doesn't have a cook here or a maid. He takes care of everything by himself. This is probably why the fridge was empty, the drawer filled with take-out menus. Ohh yeah and the burned toast. With no other choice, I ordered some groceries and made the dinner by the time Summer woke up. I helped her to the living room. "Eating tomato soup on this white couch doesn't seem like a good idea Summer." I say as I give her the plater. "I just feel comfortable here, how about we put on a movie or something?" "Sure, just don't spill it because I'll be sleeping on it tonight." I say as I get the TV remote. "What movie?" I asked as I sat down next to her. "Whatever, just not horror." Noted. We settled down on a romance movie and ate our dinner, when I was finished I got up to take the plates. "You didn't eat much soup, you didn't like it.?" I asked as I saw he

Domenic got on his feet and went to turn off the alarm on my phone while I struggled to put on the bathrobe. "What are you doing here?" I say as I get up, fixing the robe down my legs. "Last I checked this was my room." He said as he fixed the waistband on his boxers. "You know what I mean, you are supposed to be on a trip. And besides how dare you lay in the same bed as me, not to mention kiss me." I wiped my mouth with my hand trying to shake the feeling of him on me. "I only did what you begged me to do." I did, my God he actually made me beg for him. "I thought it wasn't real, ok? I thought I was dreaming." I said as I went to grab my phone from his hands. But instead of taking it Domenic grabbed my hands and pulled me towards him locking me in place with his hands around my waist. "You often dream of me? He asked, but not in a mocking way, but rather in a gentle serious way. "Let go of me." I say as I struggle against him. "First answer me. Am I the man of your dreams?" He

The hot, dark and handsome man was replaced with a furious-looking Domenic Davis Jones. He came by my side, took my hand and then proceeded to drag me across the club, up the stairs until we came behind closed doors leaving the noise behind us. He almost banged my back against the door when he swung me to cage me with his hands. His fist met the wall next to my head as he growled "Mine.". I wasn't drunk, tipsy at most but I clearly saw how his eyes darkened with desire. "Don't you ever again let another man touch you Autumn, I swear you don't know what I'm capable of when someone touches what's mine." The air in my lungs caught fire. I had to take a few seconds to gather my thoughts, not wanting to do something stupid in an impulse. "Domenic I don't want to have this conversation again. I'm not yours." I say as I push on his chest trying to make some space between us. "Cut the bulls*it, Autumn, you are mine as much as I am yours." Domenic said fiuresly. "Well, that settles it be

Sasha lets him fall into one of our Victorian chairs while Adam and I stand in front of him like parents who are about to scoll their child. But this talk was very necessary, for the sake of our sibling bond and their friendship.I glance at Adam, silently asking him if he’s ready for this. His calm smile reassures me. He’s been patient, waiting for this moment to happen, but I know it’s not easy for him either."Sasha," I start, my voice steady but firm, "we need to have a real talk about all this because Adam isn’t some phase or fling. He’s serious, and I am too. And I need you to accept that. Not just for me, but for us...all of us.""So, let me get this straight," he says, finally breaking the silence, his voice low. "You two have been sneaking around behind my back, hiding this whole thing, and now suddenly I’m supposed to just accept it?

...That night... "...so now we are not only friends and brothers-in-law but I had the privilege of being his best man. What he and Autumn have is special, anyone can see that, and all I can say is that I wish them both happiness. Also Autumn I'd like to ask your permission to take him out this Friday to play ball." Anthony jokes as he finishes his best man speech. I once heard of a so-called bromance Domenic and Anthony had pretty much ever since they met each other. Summer said she found it endearing. "As long as Summer gave you permission to go." Autumn hits Anthony with a comeback. "But Friday is a no-go, we have a Lamaze class," Autumn says as she touches Domenic's shoulder. "But you are free to join us," She added to which I started connecting the dots. Why Summer looked somewhat green on her face, why she didn't eat and why would she go to a Lamaze class... "That's a great idea." Summer says and Anthony looks at her strangely. "Why would we go to a Lamaze class?" He asks an

Alex's POV I woke up with a smile on my face as the light of the day shined over my face. Despite the cold, I wrapped myself into a blanket and sat in the corner of my balcony, breathing in the familiar salty ocean air. I used to sit here and watch over the driveway, waiting for Adam's car to drive in, and while everything seemed the same, everything had changed. Now, we were together, dreaming about a future and enjoying the present. A day I once dreaded would never come was now here and the happines set in my chest could be painted in a million colours. I smiled to myself, thinking about how far I’d come. How we had come. With Adam, I had learned to be whole. I closed my eyes, letting the wind brush across my face, and took a deep breath. The salty air mixed with the faint scent of coffee surrounded me too and I suddenly opened my eyes to meet Mrs.Henrdics standing at the balcony door with coffee in hand. "Good morning." She says as she walks over to me and hands me to warm cup.

"How is Autumn?" Eloise asks us as soon as we walk in leaving her cup of tea on the living room table."She is alright, as is the baby. They are gonna keep her overnight. Domenic stayed behind but I think Richard and Sasha will go home soon." I say as her eyes travel to the spot where Alex and I are holding hands when my mother comes to stand by Eloise. The smile on her face told me everything I needed to know."So... the two of you..." Eloise gestures between Alex and me. "How long has this been going on?" She asks."A while now," Alex says. "And before you start, it was my idea to keep it a secret. I didn't want our families involved before we were sure of where this was going." "I think that was very sensible of you." My mother says as she joins the conversation. "So now that you are sharing the news does it mean it's official?" "But they didn't share the news, they were discovered in a secret. There is a clear distinction." Eloise says.Alex laughs softly at Eloise’s comment, squ

"How is she? Can I see her?" Domenic asks as he jumps to get to him before everyone else. "Miss Cromwell is fine, she and the baby girl are stable. Her blood pressure went up which caused her to faint. I'm going to recommend bed rest until the baby gets here to avoid any possible complications." The doctor says and one could see and feel the worry melt off of our backs. "Did you talk to her? Did she remember anything? Is that why she had the crisis?" Richard asked as I stepped back and took Alex to my side wrapping my hand around her, keeping her close. Perhaps it wasn't the right moment but being able to hold her in public gave me a sense of power I never had before. "We talked for a brief moment and she described to me what happened, all the excitement of the wedding and the events that happened after took a toll on her, but she remains not remembering the past." We listen as the doctor talks and Alex smiles. We didn't care about the memories so much anymore. Autumn was alright

"What happened?" Richard yells as he runs to Autumn's side, almost crushing down at the site of her unconscious body in Domenic's hands. "I'm so sorry... I didn't think..." Rachel said as she watched what her words caused. "What did you do?" Richard asks her with fury in his eyes but Rachel only stares at Autumn in shock while Leo does the best he can to hold on to her. "Help is on its way!" Alex yells as she comes back and sticks to my side. Her hands are cold as they slip into mine. I wasn't sure if it was from the cold or from the situation that was in front of us with both Autumn and Sasha. "Dont wait. Get her in the car and drive to the hospital. I'll go with you and make sure they take good care of her." My dad says as he helps Richard stand up and move away from Autumn. Domenic lifts her in the air, and her veil falls down onto the floor. The sight was heartbreaking, this day turned out to be everything but perfect. First Alice, now this. I just hope it doesn't get any wo

Miguel jumps at Alice, grabbing her hand while the other guy manages to take the gun from her, ultimately pinning her to the ground when Alex pulls me back as the rest of the family gets up and gathers up at the front. “Let go of me, I'm not done yet!” Alice yells as she struggles to free herself but to no use as Miguel ties her hand to her back. “It's over Alice, it's finally over. You won't be able to hurt us ever again.” Domenic says as he presses Autumn to his side while Miguel lifts Alice, her hands pinned at her back. “Take her to the security room and call the police. She won't escape this time, not on my watch.” Richard says while rubbing Autumn's shoulder, trying to make sure she is ok. She look pale, shook but somewhat alright. She held onto Domenic the same way Alex didn't let go of my hand all this time. “He is lying to you, everyone is…” Alice says but Miguel drags her away. She was trying to do damage to the last second she could use. So much haterade in such a s

I always found weddings to be beautiful, yet this one was special. This was about my friend, someone who I knew would always be in my life, but I somehow knew that from the day I met her. Now sitting here, watching the smile on her face as she stared at the face of her loved one, the man she chose yet again despite every odd, despite not knowing the past. A path she chose solely based on what she felt within herself, and that was love. I had my doubts about it, I had my doubts about Domenic... the things I knew about their past, the things I didn't share with anyone else, not Alex, not Richard...

"Adam, where the hell were you? We are going to be late and you still haven't changed." Mom yells at me as soon as I step through the door. "I had some business to take care of. Dont worry I'll be ready in time." "Business, on a day like this one." Mom asks, her nad on her hip and eyebrow raised scepticly. "You look great by the way, where is Dad? You should go check he doesn't get something on his suit before we have to leave... I'll go shower now, bye." I manage to ramble up and run upstairs to get ready. Luck had it that Rosie had already got my clothes ready and waiting for me on the bed so I showered, got my hair ready, and got dressed just as a text came for me letting me know Derek was booked and taken care of. One more reason to party. ... "See, there was no reason for all that rushing. I had plenty of time to finish my meal." Dad said as we got out of the car at the Cromwell mention.
