Those words made Dominic's heart ache. He was afraid that his fear was already starting to come true. If Jensen was already starting to penetrate his wife's heart, things weren't working out well on his own side. He knew he had to act fast. He'd been too quiet for far too long.When Dominic continued to stare at Adelynn with a blank look on his face, she became even more nervous.
"Dominic-"He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I know that already" he droned. Adelynn was confused."What do you mean?"Dominic didn't want her to know about the fact that Jensen had bragged about kissing Adelynn to him."I had a hunch"Adelynn lowered her gaze, guilt-ridden."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to"He sighed and looked away."Damn it, Adelynn. Stop making me so upset and bitter. For goodness sake, don't give in to him. He's your ex and I'm your husband, sRelated chapters

"Are you in love with him?" Dominic asked as he descended the stairs, two at a time. His eyes had gone cold and from the menacing look on his face, Adelynn knew she'd messed up big time. "Answer me!"She flinched, looking anywhere but at him."I don't- I don't know""You don't know? You really don't know?! How long will you continue to keep this up? First, you let him kiss you and I thought that it was because he'd manipulated you. Then, you decided to leave without telling me because you wanted to get back at me for supposedly going on a date with another woman. Now, you're thinking that you're in love with your fucking exboyfriend even when you know you're married?!" He demanded, his tone as sharp as the glinting edge of a knife."Dominic, I didn't mean-""All along, I really thought that you were worth it. I was willing to be patient with you, considering the circumstances surrounding our marriage. I tried to understand why yo

"You can't possibly be quitting already. Addie, you're not thinking about this thoroughly. Are you really sure that Jensen is the man for you?" Sue asked her friend. They were both sitting side by side on a couch in Sue's sitting room. A movie was playing on the TV and Sue's brown cat was curled up on her lap. Adelynn was the picture of miserable. Her eyes were red rimmed and there were dark circles under her eyes. Her hair was barely contained in a messy ponytail and she was dressed in a large dark blue sweater and snug, white jeans trousers. Adelynn blew her nose with the tissue Sue had given her, her mascara smudged."I don't know what else to do, Sue. I can't stop thinking about Jensen and I can't be with Dominic because I feel guilty" Adelynn said.Sue embraced her friend and patted her back gently."Addie, you said it yourself. You are confused. Do you really want to get a divorce because of Jensen? Is he really worth it? Will you be

Eight years ago, Teens were everywhere and most of them were drunk. The ones who weren't completely drunk yet, were playing beer pong. Music played in the background and multicolored lights illuminated the whole place. Adelynn was sitting by the corner, staring at her cup of vodka. She was just sixteen years old and had been invited to Jensen's birthday party. She didn't feel like she was enjoying herself because she hated the crowd. Loud parties were so not her thing. "Hey! There you are!" Allen, her bestfriend said as he approached her, a cup of vodka in his hand. His blackhair was messily pushed back away from his forehead and his blue eyes glinted with mischief. He sat down beside her and took her vodka from her."Hey! That's mine" she protested. "Not anymore. Linnie, you're only sixteen and I really don't want you to get drunk" he said and she glared at him.

Dominic awoke for the first time in months, to find his wife lying in his arms. She was still asleep and didn't seem like she was going to stir anytime soon. Dominic's gaze flickered to the digital clock on the night stand. The time was seven minutes past eight. Usually, the couple would have awoken and left for work. Dominic quietly stared at Adelynn, noticing the moles on her neck. He appreciated her natural beauty, hoping that they would stay in each other's arms for a little while longer. A sharp pain tore through his stomach and he winced. He had been getting these sharp pains in his stomach for a while. But, he'd ignored it at first. At this point, it was getting worse. So, he decided that he would have to see the doctor soon. Suddenly exhausted, he felt himself succumb to his drowsiness. Adelynn awoke thirty minutes later, she slowly turned to face her husband even with his arms still around her.

"Are you afraid?" Jensen taunted, a smirk creeping on his lips. Chloe scowled at him, her eyes filled with angry tears. "Afraid of you?" She scoffed."Not a chance"Jensen's smirk vanished, his eyes darkening with rage. He took slow, predatory steps towards her while she steadily moved backwards, trying to get away from him."You brought this upon yourself Chloe. I'm sure you know that" he drawled."You are a psychopath" she hissed and he grinned evilly."Of course, I know that. You just don't understand that Hazel is mine. Only mine. Anyone who tries to get in the way will always end up six feet under" "You won't succeed. Dominic won't let you" He threw his head backwards and laughed."I can get rid of him. It's quite easy, you see. What? You don't believe me? He's not the first person who has tried to stop me, neither are you" Chloe stiffened. "He was just as panicked as you are right now. Wha

"Dominic, he's worse than I thought. If he went to such lengths just to get rid of you, we can't take things lightly" Austin said to his bestfriend. They were both sitting on the couches in Dominic's office. Dominic ran his fingers through his dark hair with a grimace. "I know. I really wish that convincing Adelynn is easy. She won't believe me if I told her-""Then, you're going to wait until he hurts you badly? I don't like this. But, I know that we have to be patient. He's not dumb, Dominic. You're just smarter than him, that's the only thing saving you" "Evidence is basically what we need at this point. We need solid ones, trust me on this" Austin sighed."I trust you, I'm just worried. Are you okay?" "Mentally or physically? Well, I'm not fucking okay" Dominic rose to his feet, shoving his hand into the pocket of his dark green coat. "I have a doctor's appointment in ten minutes. I'll see you when

"Who paid you to do this?! I won't ask you again because the next time I do, it's most likely that I'm going to strangle you to death!" Dominic roared, his eyes filled with rage. The young man tied to a chair was the picture of terrified. He couldn't stop trembling and his white shirt was soaked with sweat. "You won't talk, will you? Fine. We'll be doing this the hard way" As Dominic wrapped his hand around the young man's throat, consequently cutting off his air supply, the man's eyes bulged in their sockets. Sweat dripped down his face as he trembled on the chair, tears rolling down his pale cheeks."I'll talk! I'll talk!" He cried, his voice hoarse.Dominic narrowed his eyes."I want nothing but the truth""Y-yes, s-sir. I'll talk. Please don't kill me"Dominic released his grip on the young man's neck, a blank expression on his face."Yes? Start talking" he hissed and the man

Adelynn closed her eyes as her husband began to stroke her hair. A wave of sadness washed over her in such a manner that made tears fill her eyes and roll down her cheeks. "I'm sorry" she choked out and he sighed."Don't be" he whispered, still holding her in his embrace.For a while, they remained in each other's arms, neither of them ready to let go of the other. Soon, Adelynn's eyes were heavy lidded as a result of her exhaustion. She was soon falling asleep in her husband's arms. Dominic gently scooped her in his arms and laid her down on the bed. He covered her with the blanket and carefully wiped away the tear stains on her cheeks with his thumbs. "Goodnight" he whispered to her and rose to his full height. He rarely got to see his wife vulnerable and he wondered what it was that had made her so emotional.While he unbuttoned his shirt, Adelynn's phone beeped. His gaze flickered from her to the ph

For Love's Sake EPILOGUE
"It's amazing" Adelynn said, a smile on her face. Dominic embraced her from behind. "I know, right? I'm so glad it's all over" he said as he watched their son, Kyle, and Austin's daughter play with a bunch of building blocks. "You know, marrying you has proved to be one of the best choices I've ever made" Adelynn stated and her husband grinned. "How do you feel?" He asked. She turned to give him a kiss on the cheek. "I feel--- I feel happier than ever and it's all because I'm married to the love of my life" Adelynn told him. "I feel the same way too, Adelynn. I wouldn't trade you for anyone else, love" he whispered in her ear. Austin and his wife, Rielle, stood few metres away, watching the couple with big smiles on their faces. "They look so happy" Rielle breathed. "They deserve it" Austin grinned. ... DOMINIC Knowing Adelynn changed me. I was a lonely teen with a horrible chi

"I'm going to send you an address and you'll have to meet me there. But, you will have to come alone. Trust me, you won't like what would happen to your husband if you either failed to show up or failed to come alone""O-kay. Send me the address" Adelynn responded, fear sinking into her heart.The line went dead and Jensen grinned at Dominic."She will be here soon and I'm going to make her mine. You won't be able to do a damn thing about it" Jensen said and blew a whistle. Six men walked in and approached Dominic. While Jensen left the basement, they began to beat up Dominic, viciously..... "No, Adelynn. I can't let you do that. If you go to him, you will be walking right into a trap. Dominic trusted me to keep you safe and that's what I plan on doing" Giovanni said to a frustrated Adelynn. "I can't just sit back and do nothing! My husband is probably in pain right now and the more we wait, the more the s

"What was Jensen like when you two were still dating?" Thea asked. She was reclining by the pool with Adelynn. "Jensen was very nice, understanding and loving at first. But as our relationship grew, he couldn't stay away from me. I thought it was because he loved me so much. He also started to make sure that I was nowhere around any guy, including my best friend who he actually killed"Thea's gaze softened."I'm so sorry""I guess I was blinded by my so called 'love'. I didn't disapprove whatever Jensen said was right. He was controlling my life and I continued to ignore it. It was so easy for him to turn me against Dominic. He made me label my husband as the villain" Adelynn said and Thea sighed."Well, I'm glad that you were finally able to turn away from your toxic relationship with Jensen"Adelynn smiled sadly."I treated Dominic wrongly, but he refused to be swayed. He ref

"Hey" Adelynn said to Dominic who had just opened his eyes. She took his free hand in hers and pressed a kiss to the back of his palm. "How are you feeling?" She asked."Numb" he rasped."Austin told me what happened" She told him and he exhaled slowly, his eyes briefly fluttering close."I didn't want you to worry""You could've gotten badly hurt, Dom" Adelynn pointed out. "I was well aware of the fact that things could suddenly go south. But, Rielle's life and that of her unborn child was at stake" Dominic stated.Adelynn let out a sigh. "I know. I just--" she drew in a shaky breath, her eyes misting over."Hey, look at me. I'm right here" her husband assured her, giving her hand a little squeeze. "Everything happened so fast, Dominic. I've never been so scared"After a brief pause, Adelynn lowered her gaze."There's something you need to know" she said to him and his gaze l

Heart pounding, Adelynn placed a hand on her stomach, hoping and praying that her unborn child would be okay. Her blood ran cold when she heard a masculine voice from the direction of the stairs. "I know you're hiding there. Come out"She swallowed hard, her limbs trembling. A gunshot went off and she slammed a hand over her mouth to stifle the scream that had already escaped her lips. She could hear the footsteps approaching. She quickly moved away from her spot. "Don't make it harder for yourself, Adelynn. I'm not going to hurt you. No one's coming here for you, you know. Your husband is currently preoccupied--"Adelynn's eyes widened when she saw another figure by the window. She could only see the figure with the help of the moonlight. She was worried now. What if the house was actually surrounded? Another gunshot went off and she flinched, her hand accidentally making contact with one o

Austin stared at his friend with a look of incredulity on his face. He knew Dominic was trying to help him. But, as much as he really wanted to save his own wife and unborn child, he certainly didn't want Dominic to get hurt or worse, killed. Especially not with Adelynn carrying his child. "You can't just go to them. Dominic, we need backup" Austin said and Dominic gave him a blank stare."We can't bring the cops into this situation and I'm pretty sure you know why"Austin's frown deepened. "Listen to me, this is risky business. We don't know how armed Rielle's kidnapper is. What if something goes wrong and you get captured? What if it triggers the memory of your unpleasant experience?"Dominic snorted. "Did you actually think that I was going to put my life on the line to save Rielle? Definitely not. Of course, I have back up" he replied with a cocky smirk."Wow, you're still as cocky as ever" Austin said, looking irritat

Pensive, Dominic Suarez paced the length of his study as his bestfriend's words replayed themselves in his mind. "Jensen is my stepbrother?" He thought aloud, a frown on his face. "My mother was once married to Jensen's dad?" He muttered, the frown on his face vanishing. He let out a sigh and rubbed a palm over his face. "For goodness sake, I'm not dumb. That is so ridiculous" he said and lowered himself onto his chair. He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him that everything Austin had said concerning his parentage was bullshit. He tapped his fingers against the surface of his desk, a thoughtful expression on his face. He knew Austin. He wouldn't say such a thing ordinarily. Had he been blackmailed or something? He thought about the possibility that Austin had tried to deceive him for Rielle's sake. For truth to be told, Dominic wasn't upset. It had taken him a long time to understand w

In the large sitting room of Dominic's home, he was sitting on the couch with Adelynn's head on his lap. He fondly stroked her hair as they watched the TV. "Do you remember the first letter we wrote to each other?" Adelynn asked and he smiled. "Of course, I do" Dominic responded as he thought about how nervous he'd been to write the letter. At first, he'd thought that Adelynn wouldn't get the chance to read the letter because Jensen would always follow her wherever she went. Dominic had managed to sneak the letter into her locker. In the letter, he had written to her, asking her to become penpals with him because he didn't have many friends. He'd asked her to send him messages through the mail if she was interested. Adelynn on the other hand had found him very interesting and she'd agreed to be his pen pal. At first, she'd hesitated because of Jensen. But, she managed to hide it from him for the time being. Thi

A warm smile tugged at Adelynn's lips once her husband returned home. He noticed the presence of his mother, Adelynn's mother, Stella and Chloe. "Okay, what's the occasion?" He asked his wife as she unbuttoned his white shirt. "You'll see" she whispered and he grinned. "Are we seriously doing this, right now?" Dominic asked, smiling at her. "Yes, we are. When you have freshened up, you can join us for dinner" Adelynn said and walked out of the room, leaving Dominic to wonder what was really going on. He took his bath and got dressed in a black T-shirt and grey sweatpants. As he made his way down the stairs, his phone rang. It was a call from one of his business associates. After the call had ended, he went to the dinning room and took his seat beside his wife. He placed a hand on her thigh. "Will you tell me what's really going on now?" He whispered in her ear and she laughed. Dominic's mother laug
