DominicI tossed and turned the entire night; I could barely get a night's sleep without thinking of how she all but dared me tonight.I was curious to see how many sparks she has, but now I'm unsure whether I want to trek down that path. The glaring time of 6:45 is a reminder that I need to wake my ass up.After thirty minutes, I showered and freshened up. It's Sunday, which means all I have to do is stay home. I check my phone to see a text from Chris and Dad.Dad's asking, How’s the life of an almost husband? I type back, Annoying and irritating”. I clicked on Chris' message to see that he said he’d bring wine by twelve. He comes around on Sunday.I walk down the stairs, whispering. The house is as quiet as a church; I wonder which room she chose. I turn to go to the kitchen but pause when I see the exact rules from yesterday hanging right where they were last night, with another over the TV.What the?Did she have so many of these?I tear it down, and I'm about to wrap it when her
SavannahHe gazes at me, lost in thought. He starts to speak, but Mom's entrance interrupts him. “When you said you were coming, I thought you meant later.”I notice Evan visibly relax, which only deepens my suspicion. I know my brother. “I had nothing to do, so I thought I'd spend the day here.” I assist her in sitting and slide a pillow behind her back. “How have you been feeling?”“Much better. The swelling has gone down, and although it still hurts, it's okay.”I nod. “Is there anything I can do to help?”She shakes her head. “No. Evan promised to be here from now on.”I glance at my brother. He rubs his neck and gives me a nod. I want to demand answers about where he's been, but I hold back and settle for a quiet “Okay.”“How have things been with you?”“Good. Tomorrow, I'm going to check if I still have a job at the restaurant,” she says, nodding in approval. “I don't want to depend solely on him.”“Why not?” I raise my head to find my brother watching me. “You're his wife.”“Fia
SavannahHe underestimated me.I arrived home around seven, and he wasn't there. I couldn't hide my excitement—the grin on my face was akin to the Cheshire cat's.After Mom casually brushed off the question, our conversation covered everything and nothing.Evans shared a story about his time away, but I could tell he was feeding me a load of nonsense. However, until he does something out of the ordinary, he's free to do as he pleases.While waiting for Dominic, I prepared myself dinner. When the clock struck nine, I hastily rushed to lock the door, but not before grabbing one of the paper rules and sticking it onto it.There. That will show him how serious I am. I returned to the table and finished my dinner. After cleaning the kitchen, I went upstairs for a relaxing bath.As I lounged on the couch, I heard a car pull up. Looking through the window, it wasn't his car. However, it didn't surprise me to see Chris exiting the car with him.I watched as he walked up to the door and burst i
DominicI gaze out over the city as I mull over how to get revenge on Savannah.Should I apply shoe glue to her hair gel? Or perhaps tie a spaghetti bucket over her door to have it dumped on her?Is that too extreme? Locking me out of the house is extreme.For fuck's sake, I can't believe I'm sitting here thinking about revenge like a stupid teenager.I'm thirty, for fuck's sake.But hey, before her, my life was work, fooling around and repeating. Maybe this little war she started can be a reason to relive my teenage life.Which is why I want to go out with a bang. I don't want to execute my revenge half-heartedly—go big or go home.I pull out a notepad and write “REVENGE PLANS” at the top. I nod to myself and split the paper into two sections, labeling the top-right corner “PROS” and the top-left corner “CONS.”PROS:1. Bring a girl home.2. Stay out late.CONS:1. Retaliation2. LockoutHmmm.I scratched staying out late. Even though I could crash at Chris's place, I prefer my bed.I
DominicI'm engrossed in the files in my office when there's a soft knock on the door. My brow furrows because I'm not expecting anyone.“Enter!” I called out. Savannah walks in, and my eyebrows shoot up in surprise. “Um, you're not here to murder me in my sleep, right?”She rolls her eyes. “I'm here to apologize.” Did hell freeze over or something? I remain silent, skeptical that she might be up to something.I watch her without saying anything because Savannah Knights want to apologize.?Heck, this is something I never thought was possible. Ever. She snaps her finger to catch my attention. “Did you hear me?” she asks. “I said I was here to apologize.”I nodded slowly. “Okay? So apologize”She grits her teeth. “Not for locking you out.” I knew it. “But for my reaction earlier today, I admit that I let my temper get the best of me and allowed my inner frustrations to take over. But I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you.”“You didn't. I get where you were coming from.”She nods. “A
SebastianI pushed the door to the house and found Becca and Sophia standing there, lips pursed, hands crossed, and feet tapping impatiently as they waited for me.Suppressing a groan, I thought, I don't need this right now.Becca had practically been a pain in my ass ever since the engagement. She never lets me sleep without voicing her opinions about Dominic and Savannah's relationship.Savannah is my daughter and my pride. She thinks I hate her. It kills me to see her look at me with that sorrowful expression every time, or how she can't even talk to me for an hour straight.I caused this. I made her feel insecure, and now I will work on it. “You're home,” Becca said as she spotted me. “We've been waiting for you.”I looked at both of them. Becca and Sophia had a slight resemblance, but their behavior was identical.They were both spoiled, overbearing, and, worst of all, self-centered. The last thing I wanted to do right now was deal with these two. Still, I asked, “May I ask why?”
SavannahThe music is loud; I can feel the pulsing in my head as we enter.Janelle has her arm looped around mine as she drags me towards Bill. Apparently, she knew the bouncer, so all she had to do was yell, “Hey, pussycat,” which made him grin and wink at her before gesturing for us to enter.Why he's called “pussycat” is something I'm curious about, but hey, drinks are most important to me right now. After that talk in the car, Janelle had so many ways to turn this battle between Dominic and me into one that I would win.I heard her, but right now, I want to forget the scene I saw in the living room. “Bill's up there,” she yells over the music. “Hold on to me.”I nod again because the music pulsing in my brain is enough to give me a lifetime headache.We maneuver our way through the grinding bodies—sweaty ones, I might add—to the VIP section. Once again, she grins at the bouncer, and voilà, we are in the VIP area.It's quieter here; the red and blue lights add a sensual ambiance. Gi
Savannah**“Get your hands off my wife!”Ren retreats swiftly as if caught in a whirlwind of panic. “Wife?” The question is directed at me, but I'm too busy locking eyes with Mr. Aloof because how dare he? “You're married?” Disbelief is clear in Ren's voice.“Take a look at her finger, pretty boy.” Dominic grits out, “Take a perfect look at it.”“He's not a pretty boy, and I'm not your wife,” I manage through clenched teeth.“Tough shit. That ring on your finger says otherwise.”“It's fiancée.”“Same difference,” he retorts with a smug smirk, and something tells me he's throwing my words back at me.Beside me, Ren stands awkwardly, uncertain whether to stay or make a hasty exit. I'm touched that he still dares to stand here with Dominic confronting him like a possessive alpha male. “Uhm, should I stay?”“Yes.”“No.” We both answered at the same time. Ren hesitates, looking at me with wide eyes. I nod, and he winks before bolting away as if his life depended on it.The stare-down with D
