CHAPTER SEVENTY–NINE

DOMINIC

“Yeah, I’m fine, and a little out of it. I have a lot to think about.”

“It must have been a lot, and I’m so sorry.”

“It’s not your fault, Hailey. I mean, you did try to warn me, but I wasn’t listening, and now, look where are. I feel like a fool and I’m an idiot.”

“Hey, don’t do that. Don’t beat yourself up. She’s smart and knew what she was doing. This was not yo fault.”

“Yeah, but if only I’d listened to you, maybe this wouldn’t have happened, and maybe, just maybe, we’d be together. This made me think I wanted a divorce from you, made me miss the first six years of my child’s life, made me lose you. If only I had listened, maybe I would have avoided the mess. I would ha been there for him and you and this would have never happened.”

“Dom, no. Listen, don’t do that. Don’t play the ‘what if‘ game. It doesn’t matter anymore. The deed is do and it’s over. All you can do now, is pick yourself up and move on. You can’t change the past, Dom. You can’t let this consume you, or eat you up. There’s a lot at stake and Liam needs his father. Your people need their his Alpha and they need you to be strong. So, let it go, and focus on the future.”

“What about you?” I asked and I noticed that she wouldn’t meet my eyes.

“Dominic… Now’s not the time for this.”

“So, when will be the time, Hailey? Because, honestly, I’m not sure if there will ever be a time. Is there ev a chance that we can work it out and find our way back to each other?”

“I don’t know, Dominic. I do understand that all this was never your fault to begin with, but the thing is, in not sure if it will be a good idea, or even if truly you want me, after what you’ve been through. You might think that you want me, but are you sure that it’s not just the aftermath of being exposed to a spell and losing six years of your life?”

“You have no idea, do you? You have no clue as to how much I love you, and how much I’ve missed you. It’s been six whole years since I last saw you as the love of my life, and I’ve been living a half a life without you. I didn’t know how much I loved you, or what being a family meant. All this time, it’s been a be, and nothing is real. Do you understand what that means, Hailey? It means, that all this time, I’ve been missing the best part of my life. And now that I’m out of the spell, I’ve been able to realize that, and see how much I’ve lost, and how much pain I’ve endured”

“Dom, listen. That may be true, and what you are saying might be true, but are you sure that the feelings and memories aren’t clouded, or being forced, because of the sudden realization that you’ve been under a spell and the aftermath of coming out of it? What if the feelings aren’t real and the memories aren’t genuine, what if they are forced?”

CHAPTER SEVENTY–NINE

+25 Pow!

“Do you think that the love we shared and the bond we created was fake and fabricated? Because, if tha the case, then why did I have a memory of you, and the feeling was so intense that it brought tears to m eyes? Why was the feeling so intense and powerful that I had no control over it, or could stop it? I was drawn to you, and there was a pull even while I was still under a spell. It was there, and I had no idea wh it was. But, now that I’m out of the spell, I understand what it was. And if you’re asking me if these feelin and memories are real, and genuine, the answer is yes. They are the most real and raw emotions I’ve ev felt in my entire life. I have never felt this way for anyone else, and I know, that even if I was under a spel and had no recollection of any memory, those feelings would still have been there. I may have not realiz what they were, but they were always there. My heart has always belonged to you, and no matter what happens, or what anyone says, that will never change.”

I held her hand, and squeezed it, and I knew, just by the way she looked at me, and how her body reacte

that the connection was still there.

The pull was strong, and the chemistry was explosive.

“Dom, I don’t want rush things, or make a mistake. It took me a long time to get over you and move on. It took a long time, and a lot of patience, for me to be able to put my trust back in a man again. So, please, don’t push this. You just found out about the truth, and you have a son, who is six years old. You’re going through a lot, and I can’t just jump back into this and expect it to work. So, please, let’s just take things

slow and see how it goes. Okay?”

I understood where she was coming from, and I couldn’t blame her for wanting to be careful. I had just come out of a six year marriage with a woman who had committed a crime, and had done things that

were unimaginable.

So, it was going to take time, and a lot of patience. I wasn’t going to push, or rush her into anything.

She was right, and I needed to think of my son. He needed to be the priority and everything else had to

take a backseat.

I had missed the first six years of his life, and that was not something that I could just let go and pretend

didn’t happen.

It was a fact, and I had to deal with the repercussions of not being a father.

It was time to step up, and be the best father I could be.

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you want. If you want to take things slow, and start over, then that’s what we will do. Whatever it takes to have you back in my life, and have the chance to make us a family, then I will.

Whatever it takes.”

“Okay, well, for starters, why don’t we have lunch together? You look like you haven’t eaten for days, and you have lost weight. How about we get you something to eat?”

“That would be nice.”

She smiled, her pearly white teeth, shining bright.

CHAPTER SEVENTY–NINE

“Great, how does spaghetti and meatballs sound?”

+25 Points

“Sounds delicious, but let’s add extra sauce, and a lot more meatballs. My appetite has increased, and I’m a growing boy, you know.”

“Growing boy? More like a growing bear. Come on, big boy. Let’s go.”

She got up and walked toward the door.
