CHAPTER SEVENTY–1

HAILEY

+25 Points

I soaked my body in the tub, and sighed. I was tired, and the warm water felt amazing. It was relaxing, and exactly what I needed. My head was still pounding, and I didn’t have the energy to even lift my arm, so the warmth of the water was very soothing.

I took my soap and started washing myself, but even that was exhausting. Once I was done, I washed the bubbles off my body and got out.

I was about to put my towel on, when I heard the door opening.

“Dom, what are you-”

“Fuck.” He whispered, and turned his head.

I looked down, and quickly wrapped the towel around me.

“What are you doing?”

“You took too long, and I was worried. Are you okay? Do you need help?”

“No, I’m fine. Can you leave?”

“Hailey, relax. It’s not a big deal. We’re both adults, and have seen each other naked before.”

“Just, please.”

He looked like he wanted to say more, but thankfully thought better of it, and left. I dried myself, and put on my underwear and pyjamas.

Once I was done, I grabbed my brush and brushed my hair. I tried it into a loose bun, and walked out. He was leaning against the wall, and when he saw me, he smiled. “Now, you’re going to seat and let me take care of you. Whatever it is that you need, just tell me, and I’ll do it.”

“Thank you.”

I didn’t know how, or why he was being so nice and helpful.

This was not the same Dominic that left me five years ago. But I definitely wasn’t complaining. He sat me down on the couch, then walked back to the kitchen and came back with a tray of food, snacks, and tea.

He placed them on the table, “First, you are going to take this drug.”

“No, I already took-”

“No, Hailey. This one’s different. It’s a fast acting drug, and will cure you in no time.”

I looked at him for a moment, and noticed that his eyes were serious.

I sighed, and took the pill. “And, drink some water.”

I rolled my eyes, and took a sip.

He gently pushed my hair away from my face, and tucked it behind my ear. “I’m sorry.” He said, and his voice was barely above a whisper.

“About what?”

“Everything. About how you’ve had to handle everything alone, and how Liam has had to grow up without a father. I’m sorry.”

“Dom, there’s no use of apologizing now. I don’t want an apology, and there’s nothing that can change what happened in the past.”

“I know, but… Hailey, I was a mess when I lost you. You were gone, and I didn’t know where. You were the most important person in my life, and when you left, I was nothing. Seeing you like this just makes me wonder how you were able to handle being a mom, being sick and having a full time job all without any help. And I’m so proud of you. I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become, and the amazing mother that you are. No words can express how sorry I am, and no amount of apologies can make up for all the shit I did. But, I can’t lose you, Hailey. I can’t. I love you. Even after all these years, my feelings for you never changed. And no matter what happens, I want you. I want to be with you.”

I didn’t say anything else after that, because I didn’t trust myself to not burst into tears the moment I open my mouth. Those three words… those three words that I had begged to hear for the three years of our marriage.

Those three words that would have changed everything. Those three words that were enough to change my entire perspective. Those three words that meant the world to me five years ago as I waited desperately for him to say them back.

I looked away from him, and wiped the tear that fell. I had waited for him for five years, and no matter how hard it was, no matter how many times my heart shattered into pieces, or how many tears I shed, I would have waited forever.

CHAPTER SEVENTY–2

Because the thought of never seeing him again, was enough for me to forget all the hurt, and remember all the beautiful moments that we shared.

But now, things have changed.

Everything has changed.

I’m no longer the same naive young girl who was so deeply in love with him, that she didn’t realize she was being hurt, and played like a fool.

I’m no longer the girl who loved the idea of Dominic so much, that it became her obsession.

No, I’m no longer that girl that would beg for his attention, or his love. That girl died the day I realized he didn’t care about me.

I had so much at stake now, and any decision I make would affect Liam, and possibly the future baby, if the test was positive.

I couldn’t just throw myself back into the relationship, and expect it to work.

We would need to rebuild the trust and connection first, and we needed time.

And with everything going on right now, it’s not just not going to happen.

He understood my silence and thankfully didn’t say anything else afterwards. “C’mon, you have to eat.” He took my feet and placed them on his lap as he shifted the food tray in front

of me.

I started eating when he turned to TV on, and I couldn’t help the smile that was threatening to appear.

Even though we weren’t together, it felt nice having him here. It reminded me of the old times, and it felt so right. But I would be stupid to let this get over my head.

Sometimes I really do wonder why he did what he did. Why he was so cold and didn’t show me any affection.

Why he chose to end our marriage just like that as if those three years had meant nothing to him, why he chose another woman over me.

“Why?” I quietly whispered, and he turned his attention towards me.

“Hmmm?” He paused from massaging my feet.

“Why did you do it? Why did you treat me like that? Like I was a burden. Like you couldn’t

stand to be around me. You threw out marriage, for another woman. You left me for dead. I almost died in that car.”
