MasukI felt his breath tickling my ear, sending shivers down my spine, “Pretend for a while. I will tell you everything later”, and just like that my little bubble burst, sending me crashing back to reality. **** Amanda Moore had left behind her past when she divorced Dominic Giovanni and settled in New York. But 5 years later, her past waltzes back in and makes her already frazzled life even more chaotic.

I flipped the phone so that it faced him. He squinted as he approached before placing the mugs down on the coffee table. “Another article about how I snagged Hollywood’s eligible bachelor.” The idea amused me since he never considered himself a bachelor.He pecked me and said, “Well, they don’t know that it’s the other way round.” His voice sounded conspiratorial, and that made me giggle. I struggled a little, with my 5-month-old growing belly to sit up as Dominic handed me the mug. I moaned as the rich taste seeped into my taste buds. When I looked at him he was staring back with a raised eyebrow, “I don’t want to compete with hot cacao, ya know.” Thi
[Dominic]I stilled at this unprecedented query. I stalled for a moment or two, contemplating whether to tell her the truth or not and then decided to go for the former because if we decided to carry on with this relationship which I am hopeful then I wouldn’t want it to be built upon another set of misunderstandings.“You were...looking for me?” she asked, perplexed. But she didn’t pull away from my hold, just far enough so that her face was inches away from mine. I nodded mutely, then added, “When I found out the truth, I knew I was too late. Yet I decided to look for you and when I heard that you had moved countries I was...angry.” I gazed at her and my heart squeezed when I saw the crestfallen look on her face. “I was angry with Alessa, on myself and on you so after drowning in rum and beer, I drowned myself with work and strived to succeed in my acting career. With time, I
[Amanda]Even though I was quiet and seemingly calm, I was honestly trembling inside. Today’s confrontation was nerve-wracking, to say the least. Alessa was a formidable woman, and if I didn’t have the experience of dealing with customers and people like her, then I might not have the courage to ask her so directly. While I didn’t do much talking, I was stunned to see Dominic standing up for and going as far as severing the relationship with her.I could tell he was reeling from today’s sudden confrontation. The fact that she had tried to sabotage him and his acting made me furious. I wanted to feel bad about the way this relationship ended between them, but I had a feeling that Dominic wanted this as well. He no longer wanted to stay under her shadows. He wasn’t anymore, but maybe this served as the last thread.I shuffled into the condo, Dominic trailed behind
[Dominic]Aunt stared at Amanda sternly as we sat on the opposite side of her work desk at her office. Her eyes then strayed towards me and she gritted, “Why did you bring her? And when did you meet her again?” My fists clenched. She spoke as if Amanda was a non-existent being in the room. However, my ex-wife beat me to it.“He came to the cafe where I was working. It was my second day at work and he kissed me in public. Haven’t you watched the alleged pictures?” I stared at her in astonishment. Had this been the Amanda 5 years back, she would not even dare to look at aunt, let alone talk to her so boldly. A swift glance at my aunt told me that she shared my surprise.However, aunt managed to compose herself quickly enough. She glared at her, “Yes. I apparently did, but I did not expect him to take you back.” Her voice clearly held the disdain that he

[Dominic]“Aunt.” I acknowledged with a nod as I stepped into the dressing room. My men discreetly retreated. Even Alex left without another word. The make-up artists were nowhere to be seen. She must have asked them to leave until called.
[Dominic]I was this close...this close to divulging the secret. Damn this lie was costing me a lot. I fiddled with the cufflinks as my mind veered back to the times I have subtly tried to track down Mandy. My lips curved up involuntarily. My Mandy. She has cha
