After Rejection Divorced Luna Becomes A Famous Doctor (Hailey and Dominic) novel Chapter 53

CHAPTER FIFTY–THREE–1

HAILEY

I walked out of my bedroom, feeling all levels of emotional and mental breakdown.

+25 Points:

He was right. He was damn right. It was everything he had said, and more. The guilt, the shame, the remorse, and the fear.

It was all there.

And I was so confused, so lost, that I couldn’t think straight. All I could feel was the pain, and the tears kept streaming down my face. I didn’t know if I was crying from the embarrassment of sleeping with my ex husband who I had sworn I hated with my very being, or the shame of not being able to stop myself. Or was I crying from the pain of the truth, the pain of knowing that no matter how much I fought it, and how much I hated him, there was no way I could stop myself from loving him.

The love was there.

It was real.

It was there, and it would always be.

And I hated him for being right.

For breaking down my walls, and forcing me to accept the truth. The truth was, no matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, I could never get over him.

I could never erase the memories, or the love.

No matter how hard I tried, the love would always remain.

No matter how much I hated him, and wanted to forget him, the passion was stronger. And I blamed the moon goddess for pairing with a man who was bound to break my heart.

Because that’s what he did.

He broke it. He destroyed me. And he shattered my soul. And there was no way I could ever forgive him. The tears kept flowing, and my steps were hurried as I went down the stairs with whatever ounce of Shane I had left, because I not only disappointed myself, but my body for betraying me.

For being so weak.

I came face to face with Valerie as soon as I got to the living room, and I stopped in my tracks as she looked at me. The expression on her face said it all already, she knew. And even if she didn’t, she would in a second when Dominic comes running down the stairs.

Or was it how sweaty and rough I was looking from hours of lovemaking?

I couldn’t look Val in the eyes, couldn’t bear the judgment and the disappointment. I didn’t care if anyone

would think less of me, but the only person’s opinion that mattered was hers, and if she was disappointed in me, I would never forgive myself.

I kept my head low and walked past her, but her hand grabbed my arm and pulled me towards her. She looked at me, her eyes scanning my face, and her mouth set in a grim line.

“Where is he?” Was the only thing she asked.

And I didn’t even have to guess who ‘he‘ was.

“In my bedroom. He’s coming down. Val, please, not now. Just don’t do this now. Not when I’m not ready.

It’s too much.”

“What’s too much, Hailey? The fact that you were with the man who had betrayed you, the man who had cheated on you, the man who had humiliated you, the man who had hurt you, and the man who had broken your heart? And now, you’ve given into him. I’m sure he took advantage of your vulnerability! I don’t care if he’s the Alpha of this pack or I might lose my job, but you have a lot of nerve, and a lot of explaining to do. I have never been so disappointed, so angry, so frustrated and so disgusted. But, I will not have this discussion now. Not when I’m about to tear him to pieces.”

Val walked towards the stairs, and her steps were furious, her hands were curled into fists and her body was shaking with rage.

“You can’t, Val. You can’t do anything. Please. Please, not now. I’m begging you. Not when my mind is so confused. Not when Liam is just a few doors away, and when I’m feeling like this. Please, Val.”

Val stopped, and turned to face me.

“Do you love him, Hailey?”

“I don’t love him, Valerie. Or at least, I don’t want to. But, we are literally mates. It’s almost impossible to unbind what the moon goddess has bound.”

“You know what I mean. Do you still have feelings for him?”

“He’s married. To someone else. I would be going against every single moral I have to have feelings for a married man, even though it’s with a woman he left me for. I feel ashamed that I had sex with a married man. That’s what I feel. Nothing else.”

Val was staring at me, her eyes were wide and her mouth was open. She was in shock.

“That bastard! How could he do this? I can’t believe he would have the nerve to come to your house, and sleep with you. I know you wouldn’t have been the one who initiated the contact. You were the victim, and no one would have blamed you. But, him? The fact that he had the audacity to touch you, to be with you, and cheat on his wife, is unforgivable.”

I heard his steps, and I knew he was coming.

“I wasn’t forced, Val. As embarrassing as it is to say this to you, I wasn’t forced. Well I didn’t mean for it to happen, but it did. We both made mistakes, and we’re both to blame.”

Dominic walked into the living room, all dressed up. His hair was a mess, and his clothes were all rumpled up. There was no way to hide the fact that he was the guy who just fucked me.

His eyes were on me, and he didn’t look at Val.

But Valerie wasn’t having any of it.

“Look at me, you jerk!” She yelled.

Dominic turned, and he looked at her, his expression calm.

“This is unbelievable. How could you do this? Are you so desperate that you would stoop this low? Is that why you came here today, huh? Because your wife isn’t around and you were feeling lonely? How fucking pathetic. What was the plan, Dominic? To try and win her back, and convince her to take you back? After all that you’ve done? You think that you can just show up, and she’ll forgive you? You really are delusional. She deserves better. She deserves someone who will be loyal, someone who will love and cherish her. Someone who would give her the world. Not some selfish prick who would throw her away and replace

her.”

I could see Dominic’s body tense, and his jaw clenched. His eyes were dark, and his lips were pursed. “Watch your mouth, Valerie. You’re speaking about your Alpha.”

“Screw the title, and the position. You know I have every right to speak up. You think just because you had

your d**k inside her, you own her now? Is that how it works? She’s a woman, not a whore. Have some respect.”

“It wasn’t like that. You have no idea what you’re talking about, you have no idea about what happened. It’s not your business.”

“Oh, but it is my business. Hailey is my best friend. She’s like family to me, and if someone hurts her, then it’s my duty to defend her, and protect her. And trust me, I have no problem in ripping your throat out, because you deserve it. And if she’s not going to, then I will.”

“You need to calm down. Now. Stop threatening me, and leave this alone. We’re both adults, and we’re capable of making our own decisions.”

“No, you listen. If you think that I’ll just stand by, and let you destroy her life again, then you are sadly mistaken. Because I would rather die than see her suffer again.”

“Enough, Val please.” I stepped in between them. “We both made a mistake, and I am equally to blame as much as he is. He didn’t force me. It was a spur of the moment thing, and the things that happened, did. I can’t turn back the clock, and I can’t undo the things that have been done. There’s nothing we can do now, so we just have to move on.”

“Oh, but you can. You can fight. You can stop this from happening. It’s absolutely derogatory that he now treats you like the side piece who he has to sneak to go see, when once upon a time, you were his main priority. You were his Luna, and now, you’re his dirty secret. So, don’t tell me to stop fighting, when the person I should be protecting, is the one who’s willing to give in. The person who’s giving up. I’m not the one who needs to be told off.”

I heard the bedroom door open, and I turned around to see Liam walking into the living room.

“Mommy!” He called out.

“Liam, baby, Mommy is right here.” I opened my arms, and Liam ran into them.

I looked at Valerie and pleaded with her with my eyes. She had to stop. She had to leave this alone.

She shook her head and walked past us.

“I can’t be here anymore. Not with him. I can’t stand the sight of him. I’m leaving.”

She picked up her purse, and stormed out the door.

Dominic’s eyes were on Liam who was also looking at him with curiosity. “You look like Uncle Giovanni. Are you his brother?” Liam, my smart, innocent little boy asked.

If only he knew it wasn’t just Giovanni that this man looks like, if only he’s grown enough to see the striking resemblance he shares with this man.

“Yeah, little man. Giovanni is my younger brother. May I know your name?”

“I’m Liam, and I’m six.” He held out his palms and showed him his fingers, and I smiled despite myself.
