CHAPTER HUNDRED-TWELVE-2

Thinking hard.

“Hails, say something.”

“What do you want me to say, Dom? That’s a little hard to hear. I was right all along. That’s why she didn’t want me around. She hated the fact that we were together. Dominic, I literally saw this coming and I wonder how you never saw it. Is it the way she looks at you like you’re the only man in the room, is it the way she always clings to you and wants you by her side all the time? Is it the way she can’t even hide the fact that she hates my guts, and wants me gone from your life, so she can be the only woman you’ll see, and care about?”

“No, Hailey. Don’t. She would never do anything to hurt our relationship. I do not doubt that, and I know for a fact that she would never come between us. The only problem here now, is her liking

me.”

“Then, why does it seem like she hates me? Why is it so obvious that she hates me and wants nothing to do with me? And I have a feeling you’re just trying to protect her and not stand by your fiancé. She is a threat to me for loving my own fiancé. If I was a guy, no one would care. But because I’m a girl, it’s not okay. Dominic, how do you not see the obvious? She is the reason why you’ve been distant, and distracted lately. And who knows what she may tempt you to do behind my back.”

Her last words made me furious. Is that what she thought about me?

“What the fuck, Hails? Do you think I’m doing this on purpose? Do you think I enjoy having this conversation, and talking to my fiancé about my best friend’s feelings towards me?”

“You didn’t seem that upset about it, or bothered. But, instead, you came to tell me, and it seemed like a regular conversation. You seem more bothered by the fact that I’m not okay with it.”

“What? Are you serious, Hails? You don’t trust me, is that what this is about? You don’t believe that I’m in love with you. Why don’t you just man up and tell me that you don’t trust me still? This is what all this is about. Trust. Since our divorce, since the whole incident with Yasmine which was clearly not my fault because I was under the influence of her witchcraft. And I’ve been on my best behavior since, doing everything within my power to gain back your trust for a situation where I was clearly the victim, but it still doesn’t justify what you went through. No matter how much reassurance and validation I give you, you still don’t trust me. That’s why this conversation bothers you. Because, even though we’re engaged, you still feel like a third wheel, and a woman who’s not good enough. You’re worried that I’ll pick her over you, because you feel like I would choose her, and leave you, is that it?”

She didn’t answer, and just stared at me,

“That’s what all this is about, isn’t it? Your insecurities and self worth. You don’t trust me. Not with this, not with our relationship, not with Tricia. But, it’s fine, you don’t have to trust me. Clearly, I have

no fucking idea why you wouldn’t.”

“What does that mean, Dominic?”

“It means, that if you don’t trust me, maybe you shouldn’t marry me. If you can’t trust me, and have doubts over something this trivial, how do I know you’ll never doubt my intentions? How can I get married to someone who doesn’t trust me, and constantly second guesses the relationship we have? Do I have to spend the rest of my life proving to you that I’ll never cheat on you, or have another woman in my life again? Because, that’s exhausting. I love you, and I’d rather spend the rest of my life alone, than to have you be the person who constantly thinks about the worst case scenario and the what if’s.”

“Dom, no. Please. I’m sorry. I just overreacted. You-”

“Just save it, Hailey. If you don’t trust me, what’s the point of getting married, or even being with me? If you’re going to second guess everything, then this isn’t worth it.”

“Dominic, stop. You’re overreacting. It’s just the fact that I know the effect Tricia has on you…”

“And here we go with this again. You just keep proving me right. You’re right, Hailey. It’s my fault for rushing things too quickly. It’s my fault for wanting to get back to the way we used to be do fast, that I didn’t pause for once to see if that’s what you truly wanted. Maybe, instead of pushing this wedding, and wanting to get married soon, we should take a break. Just some space from each other. But I’m not going to call off the engagement until you tell me to. I was stupid for thinking things could go back to normal just like that.”

“What? Dominic, no. That’s not what I meant. You’re overreacting, baby. Don’t do this.”

“You don’t trust me. It’s pretty fucking obvious. Why are we even engaged, if you’re not sure if I’m the man you want to be with?”

“I want to be with you. I’m just scared-”

“I’m not doing this with you, Hailey. I’m out of here.”

I got out of my chair and walked past her. “Dom, stop. Where are you going? Dom!” She yelled after me, but I ignored her and left the room, heading straight for the front door.

“Dominic! Wait!” She screamed, running after me.

She rushed down the stairs with me, but immediately acted normal as she saw that everyone was gathered at the dining table.

“Is everything okay?” Maxine asked, as all eyes fell on us.

Hailey immediately put on a smile. “Yes, of course. Just Dominic having some issues with work

“Alright then, let’s eat.”
