Melanie stared back at him with the same confusion etched on her face. “Everything, Dom. I know it has been really hard on you. It has been hard on all of us. But, it is time we all moved on.” Dominic nodded, trying to comprehend what his Mom was getting at. “I know you and your father had it the hardest.” She sighed. “Maybe that is why I have to take the first step.” He was at a loss again. “Mom, can you be more specific?” “Your divorce, son.” Dominic choked on his coffee. “Excuse me?” He had let all the differences and squabbles of the past months go in the face of the loss that their family faced. Not to forget how nice Melanie had been towards Nicola and their unborn child. But their arguments came rushing back at her words. “We all know you married Ni
_____...The only certainty in life is death. It is kind of ironic, but it must also be the one truth that is undisputed. It is also true that a person is valued most after their demise.But not Maverick Grant. He was a good man. And he was valued all his life, by everyone who took the trouble to get to know him.Maybe that was the cause for all the more heartbreak when he left the world.Benjamin Grant, the only son to the man, stood in front of the morgue with his hands clenched into fists at his sides, his face devoid of any emotion but the cords in his neck taut with his effort to stay strong. "Melanie, Benjamin." Nicola approached, her hand firmly fastened around her husband's bicep as she dragged his dead weight towards his family. Melanie had told Benjamin to not inform their son of the truth until he got there but he had gone and done it anyway. Dominic had held onto his emotions long enough to get the car safely parked and then he had just slumped in his seat. Nicola
Nicola stared at her screen, her face scrunched up, her head propped on her elbow, as she read through an article about first-time motherhood.Blair walked in with a fruit salad to find George on the other side of the Boss' desk, mirroring her expression and posture. "What's going on?" The PA asked as she placed the bowl in front of Nicola and sat down on the chair next to George."There is something very wrong with our Boss." George shrugged.Blair raised a brow and looked over at the woman in question, who was so engrossed in the article that she had not heard her graphic designer."What's wrong?" Blair asked, more to Nicola than to the dumbass."She went on a date with her husband and returned as a completely different person." George answered."Shut up." Nicola looked over at him.George pointed an accusing finger at her. "I knew you were simply ignoring me and Dominic Grant had not altered your brain chemistry."Nicola's eye twitched.Oh, how on earth was she supposed to
____..."I liked you. A decade ago, I liked you. A lot. You could say that I loved you."Nicola stared at him for a moment and took three steps back, her eyes wide. "Excuse me?"Dominic rubbed his palm over his face and turned to the waves, taking deep breaths."I know what you are thinking-""You are a pedo?"Dominic flinched and turned back to her, looking as if he had swallowed nails. "No, I am not. I had no... I did not have that kind of feelings. I had a crush on you, the platonic kind. You made my day. I loved spending time with you. I don't know how to explain it. I wished you were older. I wished you were the older sister. But I did not think of you... in that way. I did not think of, you know what I mean.""That is still inappropriate." Nicola took another step back.He made no move to close the distance this time."You think I don't know that?
