Chapter twenty nine
Dario drove with speed and anger. He didn't know if he should cry or not, he felt stupid and used, why did he ever think that Caitlin was replaceable. Diane is just a lying and conniving bitch.
He drove inside Capricino, a night club owned by his brother Theo.
What's a better way to soothe a broken heart if not downing yourself in alcohol.Was his apologies not enough for her? Didn't she see how badly she affects him? He thought she loved him but clearly she doesn't.
He thought back to what happened minutes back, did he make the right decision? He wanted his friends opinion, he wanted Aaron and Ronnie's help
"What were you thinking " Aaron yelled as he took in the drunken state of Dario
"I should have stuck with Caitlin" he said with a tone laced in regrets......
Chapter thirtyAaron was pissed, Dario made it seem like Caitlin was a saint but she wasn't."Would you stop saying that....you didn't know Caitlin!" Aaron yelled at him."How do you mean?""She wasn't perfect, she wasn't the saint you paint her to be she..." Aaron didn't want to say more, he knew if Dario finds out about what happened years back he wouldn't forgive Caitlin."You've got to be kidding me" Dario scoffed when Aaron didn't complete his sentence.Aaron lowered his voice as he ran his fingers on his face as a display of frustration. "What I'm trying to say Dario is that you shouldn't have chased her out like that with Ruby. I had to take them in...." Aaron didn't know when the last sentence left his mouth, he didn't want Dario finding out as Diane begged him not to tell Dario."What!!!..." Dario faced him with anger and resentment "why do you like to take everything that belongs me?" He gritted out
Chapter thirty oneThis was the worst mistake of his life, letting his past feelings for Caitlin resurface. He seriously didn't know what clouded his judgement, what possessed him to do what he did_ throwing his wife, kid and unborn child out in the dark.Dario paced back and forth in the hallway, he was pissed at himself, he hated himself. He couldn't believe he was back here almost in same position six years ago."We came as soon as we heard" Ronnie said as he walked up to Dario with his wife Catherine"I can't believe this Dario, I'm so disappointed in you" Catherine chidedDario already felt bad and angry at himself for what he did, doing something without a rational thinking, without hearing her own side of the story. But hearing the words from Catherine's mouth, from someone he considers as the elder sister he never had took a toll on him. He also took notice of their kids absenc

She yelled but he giggled as chased the butterfly " Owen don't go there!"

She warned"I don't want him here" Elena stated with folded hands"It's not your calling to make" Diane replied quietly."I'm trying to help you here" Elena tried to reason with her as she threw Dario a stink eyes."You're taking it the wrong way and besides I can help myself, I'm not a kid....I'm not Ruby"Elena stared at her friend trying to figure her out, then she moved a glare towards Dario before storming off.Diane sighed softly at Elena's behaviour then she turned her gaze to Dario. She watched how he walked up to her bed with his hands tucked insid

CHAPTER TWOThe sterile scent of hospital disinfectant hung heavy in the air, assaulting her senses as she slowly regained consciousness. She squinted against the searing light that filtered through her closed eyelids, attempting to make sense of her surroundings.
