I sat on the edge of my bed and stared at the floor.

The cab had dropped me outside the apartment twenty minutes ago and I had come straight upstairs and sat down and I had not moved since.

My feet were cold from the pavement and the oversized shirt I was still wearing was not mine and every time I closed my eyes I saw the same thing.

I pressed both hands over my face.

"Stop it," I whispered. "Stop replaying it."

But my mind would not cooperate. It kept going back to that room, to the doorway,

    Standing in the far end of the corridor, I saw Elena step out of Dominic's office with a crumpled look on her face. She definitely felt the heat in the room before leaving. How heartbreaking this moment must be for her. My instincts urged me to step closer to her and offer consolation so dangerous ideas won't access her mind to do silly stuff, but Elena was Elena, according to me. She wouldn't listen to just any random advice that popped to her mind. She would always carefully review every words spoken to her. She didn't even want to believe me initially, when I informed her about Dominic's involvement in her parents' death. I couldn't afford to approach her, not even at this moment. She should find a place to sit down on, and breathe out multiple times so she can think properly and know what next to do. If she really needed me to be there with her, or to help with her decision making ability, she knew how to reach me. Anyone would find it difficult to believe it. Dominic must kno

  • Brother's Best Friend Is My Child's Father    Chapter 138 Dominic's Pov

    For the first time in a long time, Elena turned towards the door and walked out without hesitation. The Elena I used to know would pause her movement by the doorway, turn around and glance at me for one last time. She would either smile or show me how angry she was, but she didn't show any of those sides this time around. The silence in the room was suffocating as my hands rested gently across my waist. Thinking it through, I realized that letting this go without much thoughts could be the only way out. Despite knowing that, my mind couldn't afford to stay blank. Something has to fill the void in my mind, and it has to be the current strongest thought, which was Elena's case and the fact that, after thinking it through, she could decide to not relate with me anymore. I heaved a deep breath as I walked towards the door, grabbed the doorknob to check if she was already out of sight. Not that I was going to call her back or say her name and make her turn to look at me, but I just need

    I kept my gaze lowered as his words sank into the depth of my mind. I couldn't look at his face and totally understand what exactly he was trying to say. I had to keep my face down, and think of the next line of action. Would it be to step out of his office and walk out of his life like we never were once friends, or would I stand with him despite knowing his father took the lives of my father and mother? That thought didn't settle with me as soon as I wanted it to. Before lowering my gaze, I was looking into his eyes, almost believing that he was telling the plain truth, but then, I suddenly saw the eyes of the son of a murderer and my mood changed again. A part of me wanted to believe he was innocent and should not be blamed for what his father caused, and another part of me believed he shouldn't be totally left out of the blame. My mind couldn't agree on a balanced point, hence my total quietness. If I chose to make any statement at this moment, it would really determine where

  • Brother's Best Friend Is My Child's Father    Chapter 136 Dominic's Pov

    Of course, I believed she would need some time to regain her mental health and her trust in me, but the distance in her eyes was not telling the same story. I saw how much she wanted to grab the doorknob and walk away like we never crossed paths, but that must have sounded dumb or strange.We worked in the same hospital, and neither of us had any plans to resign anytime soon, how then could we decide to stay away from each other? How well would we be able to do that? She believed I hid the secret of the cause of her parents’ death from her because I didn't trust her. It was plainly obvious that I didn't want her to go through a terrible heartbreak session. I'd saved her from something really horrible and emotionally damaging, but she was refusing to look at it from that lens. My voice was low and a little rough as I decided to speak up. She gave me a faint stare as I held her gaze too. “I trust you, Elena. I wouldn't have done what I did if I didn't trust you to stand by my side. I

    Quietness was the only way to escape insanity at this moment. Dominic's words continued to sink deeply into my mind as I paid close attention, keeping my gaze locked on everywhere else but his face. I didn't want to see the reactions on his face as he explained the matter from his own perspective. One thing was for him to explain and clear the air so I would be aware that he was not involved in the tragic case that took my parents away. Another thing was for me to accept this and continue to relate with him like nothing like this happened. He'd mentioned several reasons why he had to hide the truth from me, including the claim of protecting my mental health and keeping me physically safe as well, but did that change the fact that the one who impregnated his mother that gave birth to him, was the very person who caused the death of my own parents? The one who drove me to this world was neutralized by the one who drove him to this world. That was absolutely insane to think about, but

    Despite the distance in her eyes, she sat down before me, probably hoping I would deny every allegations made against me. Sadly, I could not. If I did, it would complicate this matter and I will lose her trust forever. The way she glared at my face already told how much trouble I would get into if I chose to stay silent continuously. It seemed like she wanted me to say something, no matter how it was going to sound to her ears. After all, the person who told her about my family's involvement in her parents' death must have summoned enough courage. She must be wondering how hard it was for me to do the same thing, especially since I was the guilty party that should be seeking redemption. This really could be my final chance to redeem myself, but then, internally, I continued to ask myself what answer I was supposed to give to this kind of allegation. What word would I say that won't be replied to with another greater accusation that can even catch me off guard?Believing silence cou

    I was at the hospital by seven thirty.Not because my shift started that early. It started at nine. But the apartment had felt too small that morning and Maya had still been asleep and I had not wanted to sit at the kitchen table with my thoughts for another hour and a half, so I had dressed quiet

    The drive back was quiet.Not the comfortable kind of quiet that sometimes settled between Elena and me after a long evening. This was the kind that had weight to it. She was sitting in the passenger seat with her face turned toward the window and her bag in her lap and her hands folded over it,

    The three of us were standing in a triangle and the space between us felt very small.The sponsor had already quietly removed himself, which I was grateful for, because the tension coming off both Adrian and Dominic was enough to manage without adding a third person to it. Around us the party cont

    The dinner was at the Meridian, which meant the usual crowd.Old money and new money in the same room, pretending they had always been comfortable with each other.
