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
"I have to say I really admire Anthony. He took all that crap my father told him when he didn't have to, knowing his background." Domenic said as he hung his jacket on the hanger in his apartment."Well, that's Anthony alright, he wants to succeed in life without his parent's last name or their money. Not everybody would go through that trouble." I say as I close the door behind us and take off my shoes. "I just wished he had taken a picture of Summer's face when she saw all that, if the story was funny her face must have been priceless." I have a feeling she still couldn't believe it, not because she cared if he had money or not but because she was taken by surprise."Did she tell you his grandfather wants to prepare them a proper wedding ceremony, apparently he wasn't very keen on the fact that Dolly Parton's impersonator officiated the wedding." Domenic starts laughing as we come into the living room and he sits down on the couch when I lower myself onto his lap intertwining my han
I got up early and went downstairs to the building's gym to run a bit on the treadmill, something I hadn't done in quite some time and I was obviously out of shape seeing how I got tired after only two songs worth of time running on this thing. I stepped down to drink some water when I felt a slight tap on my shoulder that startled me and I turned around almost dropping my water bottle. "Miss James, I apologize if I startled you," Miguel said as he helped me grab the bottle as I took off my earphones."It's alright Miguel, I should have probably lowered the volume on my earphones. What are you doing here?" I ask because I gave him a day off since Domenic said he would spend the whole day with me."I wanted to bring you this?" He said as he handed me a folder."What's this?" I ask. "Doring our severance of Miss Moore we saw her talking with this gentleman two times now, seeing how he doesn't look like her typical choice of companion we decided to investigate him a bit further." I open
The most difficult part for me today was getting Domenic off my back, but it was as if he could feel I was up to something so he went with me everywhere. To the store, to Summer's place to show her the ring and also share the news about our engagement, we had lunch together on a beautiful terrace but I kept looking over at the car where Miguel was waiting to drive me to meet the man who could salve all my doughts and help me put a stop to Alice. I knew the danger but I had to do it. "Is everything alright baby, you seem distracted?" Domenic asked me as he took my hand from across the table."Oh yeah, I'm just feeling tired a lot lately." This was true, half of the time I just wanted to nap but at night I couldn't sleep because of all the anxiety I was having."I notice you had trouble sleeping, if you want I can cancel my therapy today and we can go see a doctor." No, I need you to leave. I have a chance I might not have again. "No, it's nothing. I'll just go home and rest you go, I'
"I want to have dinner with you." He says and I turn to look at Miguel who shakes his head, letting me know well the thing I already know. It was a risk itself to come here now let alone at night, and what would I tell Domenic? I turn to look at him as I drop the phone on my lap and put my hands over the table."Why would you want to have dinner with me?" I asked while trying to remain calm and not let him know just how much this threw me off my tracks. "Why wouldn't I? You are a beautiful woman and not just that. You had the guts to come and face me, and I'd let you know I know a lot of men who are not capable of the same." How nice, I'm receiving compliments from a criminal."May I remind you that you are the one who helped that woman to try and kill me, excuse me if I don't trust your motives enough to join you for dinner?" I wasn't trying to aggravate him, but the words just ran by my tongue and there was no stopping them. "Not a lot of people have what it takes to impress me and
We had a falling out. Alice actually managed to make him doubt me, even with everything she has done he still has faith in her and now I doubt that they will ever change. What's worse is that now that I am so close to discovering the truth I have to do it all alone."Miss James." Miguel said as he looked surprised to see me walk out of the building so quickly."Miguel I'm gonna go walk for a bit, please don't follow me." Right now I don't want to see or hear anyone, if Alice wants to come and get me then so be it. "Miss James you know I can't do that, especially not in a time like this. Did you talk with Mr.Davis?" I rub the bridge of my nose and then look up at the building before looking at Miguel again."I did, and he doesn't believe me. Apparently, he talked with Alice's mother and she told him Alice donated that money to charity. What's worse he chose to believe it." Miguel looked surprised, maybe even a bit shocked as was I."Did you show him the pictures? What did he say about
Domenic's POV I was pacing around the apartment while waiting for Summer to call me back, I figured Autumn would answer the phone to her rather than me since we had a fight. The fact that she told Miguel to stay behind and she ditched him to go God knows where when she knew it was dangerous for her had me worried sick. Autumn probably left him behind because of my little jealous moment and now if something were to happen to her I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. I was about to pour myself a drink when I heard a knock on the door and I rushed to open it. "Alice." What are you doing here?" I ask surprised. "My mother told me you came to see her, I wanted to talk with you." She says in a very calm way, her voice still and her face lacked her usual smile, "Look right now is not a good time Alice, why don't we talk some other time?" The last thing I need is for Autumn to come back and see her here. "Please Nick, it's only gonna take a minute." I look at her for a moment then move
Autumns POV After Domenic left with Alice, Summer helped gather my clothes from the floor while Miguel guarded the door."We have to get you to a hospital Autumn, they need to do blood work and..." I knew what she was implying but just like me, she didn't have the strength to say it out loud."I can't believe he didn't believe me, Summer, he left with her." My mind was still stuck on the image of the two of them leaving."He's going to regret it, Autumn, I know he will. He loves you, Alice is just praying on him now. She reenacted his biggest fear, which is also the dead giveaway that what happened here was all staged." Summer was right, this is exactly what happened with their mother, and that's why he reacted so badly. But still, I also had reason from the past not to trust him when Alice played her little games on me but I chose to trust him. He should of had trusted me as well."Let's get you up now, we also need to look at the bruise on your back." The bruise I got when he pushe
