2021-09-15 02:14:16Seven days had passed since Adelynn's unpleasant encounter with her exboyfriend. She had been anxious and apprehensive, knowing that Jensen was still out there. Within those seven days, Adelynn had been feeling a little ill. At first, she had believed it to be as a result of how stressed she'd been. But, the symptoms were quickly progressing, coupled with the fact that she had missed her monthly cycles for a while now. She didn't want to raise a false alarm yet. But, she had a gut feeling about it. She stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror and splashed cool water on her face. Lying on the sink were the three home pregnancy test she had just urinated on. She couldn't bring herself to see what the results were, yet. She felt very anxious and had to take long, deep breaths to help herself relax.
She could hear Dominic making a call. He had been on the phone most of the time as of recent. He was doing everything he could to get more evidenceRelated chapters
For Love's Sake FORTY
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

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

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

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

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

"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

"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.

"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!

"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
