This Life, I Won’t Be His Bride Chapter 9
“Live it, Dominic.”He looked at me as though there had to be more.I adjusted the coat over my arm.“Make your own choices. Find something you want to do. You don’t need me to tell you how.”“And us?”“There is no us anymore.”His eyes filled, but this time, he didn’t argue.My grandfather was waiting by the car.I went to him.In the beginning, Dominic flew to London every week.I found out because I recognized his car across the street from my studio one Friday evening.The following week, it was there again.Sometimes he stood beside it, still wearing the suit he had traveled in. Sometimes I saw only his silhouette behind the window.He never crossed the street.One evening, I stopped before getting into my car.“You can’t keep doing this.”“I’m not asking you for anything.”“I know. But I’m not going to change my mind because you keep showing up.”He looked down at the flowers in his hand.After a moment, he nodded.The next Friday, the space across the street was empty.I noticed

For a moment, I couldn’t move.There was only one way he could know about those five years.But even after everything that had happened to me, I couldn’t make myself believe it.“When it all came back, I thought losing you was the worst part.”Dominic’s eyes stayed on mine.“Then I remembered how many times you tried to tell me you were hurting. How many chances I had to listen.”Snow settled on his shoulders.“And I finally understood why you stopped asking.”My fingers tightened around the edge of the door.“You remember?”“All of it.” His voice caught. “Do you?”“From the moment I woke up.”He closed his eyes.When he opened them, they were wet.“So every time I told you to stop making a scene…”I said nothing.He looked down, pressing his lips together until they lost their color.“I’m sorry, Emilia. For all of it.”I had imagined hearing those words so often that I thought they would hurt more.Instead, I waited.“You never tried to force the wedding. You asked them to give me mor

My grandfather had Dominic escorted out.But when the gates of the Bellini estate closed behind him, he stayed.“Tell him I’m not leaving until he tells me where Emilia is.”That night, it rained.By midnight, water was streaming from his hair and soaking through his suit. His driver pulled up beside him twice.Twice, Dominic sent him away.When the butler reported he was still outside, my grandfather sat silently for a long time.Then he closed the book in his lap.“Leave him.”Dominic had been told I was gone. He had been told the engagement was over.He still wouldn’t listen.At five in the morning, shortly after the rain stopped, his knees buckled.His father’s men took him to the hospital.Dominic ran a fever for three days.And that he kept calling my name.Angela sat beside his bed, holding a damp cloth she no longer bothered pressing to his forehead.“Emilia.”She leaned closer.“Dominic, it’s me.”His fingers moved against the sheets.“Please.”Angela’s hand went still.Then h
This Life, I Won’t Be His Bride Chapter 6
Grandfather called just after I landed in London.My driver was taking my luggage toward the waiting car when he said, “Dominic says you’re the only woman he’ll ever marry.”I stopped walking.I hadn’t expected him to say it so easily.Not after everything.In my last life, he had made me a similar promise before Angela returned to New York.We were discussing the wedding when his father called with another list of obligations. Dominic silenced his phone, leaned back beside me, and closed his eyes.“Whatever our families expect from this, Emilia, I want us to be happy.”He looked tired when he turned to me. But sincere.“I’m marrying you because I want to. You know that, right?”I had almost believed that promise could protect us from anything.Then Angela came back.And somehow, the marriage he had wanted became something I had forced on him.“Emilia?”I watched my driver place the last suitcase in the trunk.I didn’t know what Dominic wanted now.I no longer needed to find out.“Coul

While I was leaving New York, Dominic was still waiting for my reply.After my grandfather told him the wedding was canceled, he didn’t believe it.Not when I’d spent so long waiting to marry him.Across the hospital room, Angela adjusted the blanket over her knees.“Is everything okay?”Dominic didn’t answer.Watching him dial my number again, she blinked back tears.“This is my fault. Emilia must be upset that I’ve kept you here with me. I never meant to come between you.” Her voice trembled. “Let me talk to her. I’ll apologize.”Usually, he would have been at her bedside before she finished.This time, he kept staring at his phone, as though he hadn’t heard a word.“Dominic. Outside.”His father’s voice came through the open doorway.Dominic lowered his phone.“If this is about Emilia, I’m handling it.”His father looked at the phone in his hand.“Are you?”Dominic stepped into the hall. Two Moretti soldiers waited outside the room. “What the hell did you do to make Emilia break of

Making a scene.In my last life, Dominic had used those words whenever I asked him for anything.On our wedding day, after he had already told three hundred guests that this wasn’t the wedding he wanted. I was still trying to hold myself together when his phone rang.Angela.He answered before the officiant could finish speaking.Then he let go of my hand.“I have to go.Angela needs me.”I caught Dominic’s hand.“Please. Just let us finish.”He pulled away without looking at me.“Angela needs me more right now. Emilia, can you stop making a scene?”He left me standing beneath an arch of white roses.That night, I called him until my phone died.Not once did he answer.I sat on the edge of our bed, still in my wedding dress, surrounded by rose petals the staff had scattered for us.At some point, I started laughing.Then I couldn’t stop crying.After that, everything became a scene.Asking whether he would be home for dinner.Telling him I was sick.Wanting him beside me on our annivers
