VICTORIA’S POV
I guess life isn’t as complicated as it may seem, at least not now. Or maybe, it won’t get complicated as I thought it would.
After that night, when I met Dominic at the banquet, I realized that he might have been the person I loved before, and because of him, I got closer to Alessandro. However, my love for Alessandro had not faded but had grown stronger. Dominic’s presence did not change that at all.
He took me over and over again that night. In the car, back to the mansion, and kept going until the mist of dawn started to settle outside.
I didn’t resist him. Understanding his anger, I would have probably acted the same way if I were in his position.
One thing is certain, he loves and cares for me a lot. Even in that situation, when he was hurt and letting his pain out, he did not hurt me in the process. He was cautious about the baby and me, making me fall for him even more.
I remember confessing my love to him repeatedly because he forgot about Dominic at some point and only got turned on by my ‘I love you, and I am yours only.’ I couldn’t help but smile at the thought.
But then again, even after this happy time, I am not really happy today, or, more precisely, for the last two days.
Alessandro wasn’t home for the last two days, as he had to attend the new project meeting in Paris.
We both wished to go there together, but I couldn’t accompany him due to unfinished work at my office.
That’s why I am a little sad and bored. His presence always keeps me happy and encouraged.
Although we have been talking on FaceTime a lot for the past two days, having him next to me is different. I miss him dearly, and I know our baby does too. I caressed my baby bump lovingly. I just hope he comes sooner.
I leaned on my seat. My life started as the CEO of E.Shine, and Daniel is not my assistant anymore.
He is a designer, and I don’t want his talent wasted. So, he has been transferred to the design department as the assistant designer, and I have hired another assistant. This time it’s a girl.
As I was leaning, my mobile phone vibrated with a text message. I immediately grabbed my phone and watched the number, but to my dismay, it was not Aless but a strange number.
I swiped the text,
‘Hey Tori, it’s Dominic. Do you have time today?’
I stared at the text for some time, stunned by Dominic’s text. Well, I wasn’t expecting it.
Honestly, I am in a little hazy situation. Dominic was my first love, but he is my brother-in-law now. Even before our love, we were good friends.
It’s been a long time since he knocked on me. Well, five years is not a short time. We have grown up, and I guess things have changed a lot.
Should I meet him? Or I just let Aless know about it?
But then again, as long as I’m not doing anything wrong, there’s no reason I can’t see Dominic. I’ll just tell Alessandro about it when he gets back.
I could ask him to come to my office. I guess it’s a safer option, given that I have more control there, and even Ant is present. I hope everything goes smoothly.”
