This is only part 1 of the chapter.
"I know my words may not help much, but I'm sure he's still with us. If we keep him in our hearts he will never leave us." There really isn't much to say that wouldn't sound like a cliche, because everything else has already been said."Thank you Autumn, when that comes from you it truly has a meaning. You know there was a time in which I hoped to see the two of you together, he cared a lot about you." Samantha said then her face turned to Domenic who slowly removed his hand from mine. "I apologize, Domenic, my words are inappropriate please forgive me. The two of you make such a good couple, cherish her as I'm sure she will you." She apologizes to Domenic and I take his hand back into mine as he looks me in the eyes, he's been handling all this Leo talk I realize I never stopped to ask him how was he feeling. "He does, if it weren't for him I wouldn't be able to get myself out of bed today." And I don't know if I thanked him yet, I've been so consumed in my world that I completely i
All the ride home I was on pins and needles because Domenic decided it would be better if we talked once we were at home, which made me wonder about two things. First, why the hell did he say he wanted to talk and then stop knowing it would only irritate me? And second, what could it be that had Domenic seem so scared? We got out of the car and started walking towards the house when Mrs.Olivia started calling me from her porch and we walked a bit closer to the fence."Yes, Mrs.Olivia. Can we help you somehow?" Domenic asked before I could even open my mouth. He has become quite friendly with my neighbors in the short time he's been here. "Ohh blessed be young boy, were alright. I just wanted to tell Autumn a man came over looking for her." Someone came looking for me, a man, and someone Olivia didn't know and she knows everyone that ever came by the house. "Did he say who he was or what he wanted?" I asked stunned"What did he look like?" Domenic asked imposing over me."He was a yo
"Normally I would ask if this was really necessary, but knowing the circumstances this seems like the right course of action." I say as I stand next to Dominican on the porch while we watch his man install security cameras around the house."Since you insisted on not returning to my place, we have to make yours more safe." He says as the sounds of the drill make me shut my eyes, I hate loud buzzing sounds. "So we installed the alarm and the cameras, that pretty much settles it." As soon as I say this Domenic removes his hand from my back and stands before me. His face tells me he has more in store for me."I know you don't like the idea of being followed but I'm not ok with you walking around unprotected so I rehired your bodyguard." He lifts up his hand and the man steps out of the car and starts walking towards us."Not this again." I would feel safer with this guy but I'm sure he will report everything to Domenic and right now I had things I needed to do without him knowing. "Autu
"Oh my God, this is crazy. Does Dominic know about this?" I say as I look at the pictures of a burned woman's hair, the woman Alice set on fire in her sleep in college."No one knows about this, there's no record of this happening. The Moore family probably had it erased if it was ever even filed." Summer said as she covered the pictures because she couldn't look at them anymore. "Then how did you get them if there's nothing on the record?" I ask as Summer takes a sip of water and sits back on the couch."The girl's sister went to school with me, I was talking to her the other day and when I mentioned Alice was back she reluctantly told me what happened, that's not all. Alice did all kinds of things to a lot of girls who got close to Domenic. She even told me that all this time she was away supposedly on a vacation her father actually put her in therapy but her mother got her out." So we are dealing with a crazy person, how nice- She progresses from putting people on fire in their sl
I push past Alice and get into the apartment throwing my bag on the fucking floor by Domenic's feet and he just nearly moves to avoid it. The next thing coming of me is my jacket because I have a feeling I'm gonna need all of my flexibility to pull out all of the extensions from her head."What the hell is going on Domenic and explain quickly because I'm all out of patience." I say as my jacket meets the floor behind me and I push it aside with my leg as I stare at him. "I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here." Alice said as she walked towards Domenic putting a hand on his shoulder to which I raised my eyebrows."No, what the hell Alice? When, how did you get in here?" Domenic pushed her from his side and moved toward me. "Baby I swear I have no idea what's going on here." He tries to touch me but I move back my eyes still fixed on Alice. "Alice tell her." He barked at her, angrily demanding for her to speak."What do you want me to say Nick, that this is the first time we
I walked back into the living room and Domenic came to hug me wrapping me tightly into his embrace. "Thank you baby, for trusting me." Dominic said softly, his voice velvety and smooth against my ear as I relaxed against his hard chest."I'm not gonna lie, I did doubt you for a moment." I say and he backs off to look me in the eyes but his hands remain on mine. "You did?" Domenic asks with a dose of disappointment and sadness to my words."I'm sorry but you've been hiding things from me and I don't like it Domenic. It's the secrets that a bad person like Alice can use against us. Luckily for you, I know just how bat-shit crazy she is. Otherwise you'd be in a serious problem right now." Domenic nods his head as he fasteners the towel around his waist then walks over to the table and flips the pictures so he wouldn't have to look at them. "You think she cut the brakes on Leo's car, don't you?" I don't think, I know she did. Maybe not personally but with the money she has a call is eno
"Honey, come on get up." I say to Domenic for the third time as I come from the bathroom and he is still lying in bed."Why can't we just order in some food and stay here tonight?" He grumps into his pillow and then sits up as the sheat drops reviling his bare chest."We agreed we would be staying at my place from now on." walk over to the bed and take the hair band from the night dresser as Domenic grabs me and pulls me down onto him. "I know what we agreed, but it could be a one-time thing since we are already here." He says as he moves my hair from my face gathering it all in his hands behind my neck. "Besides I have an early meeting and you said you have to take care of some things Anthony asked you for the restaurant and all of that is closer from here." He does make a valid point, but I was already getting so used to sleeping in my house again nevertheless I'd rather be where he is whether it is here or on the moon. "Fine, but only for tonight. Tomorrow we go back to our place.
One week later I finished the paperwork at the restaurant and was currently in the back seat driving to Anthony and Summer's house while Domenic was in his therapy session. He told me a lot of stuff that was going on and how therapy has been helping him overcome his trust issues and emotional barriers. The thing that was on his mind lately was his father's behavior towards the whole Alice situation, that man simply won't hear him out it's like he's blinded by her. Domenic for one ordered his doorman not to let her in anymore and the same went for the security team at work. He wanted to put as much distance from her as possible, and it was a start but I had a feeling it wouldn't be enough. I on the other hand wanted to investigate her more, someone as dangerous as her couldn't be let free and suffer no consequences for her actions. But Domenic insisted I stayed away from all of that, but I made a promise to Leo and I'm gonna honor it. So I made Miguel drop me off every day at the res
