All Chapters of The Ex’s Wedding Gift: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I slipped back into the residence and glanced out of the window. Busy locking tongues, Dominick and Gia were in no rush to get inside the house. Letting out a long breath, I pulled the curtains shut and cocked my head back to tell the housekeeper, “Fetch me the purple tie that the Don was wearing a few days back.” The housekeeper was taken aback. “Donna, Don Costa has kept the tie in his private collection. No one gets in without clearance.” It was known in the family that Dominick would store every memento of our love, including the stuffed animals I’d given him, in the private vault. His partiality toward me was the reason every member of the family hierarchy held me in utmost respect. After a moment of silence, I picked up a bat and stormed straight to the collection room. I violently smashed the items there while everybody watched in shock.“Donna! What are you doing?” Offering no explanations, I grabbed a pair of scissors and went to town shredding the necktie and oth

I paused for a moment, but my eyes quickly widened. “A baby?” The man was more surprised than I was. “Didn’t you know? You’re three months along.” I had no idea. It was a moment I couldn’t describe. It felt as if fate was playing a cruel joke on me. I walked out in a daze and stopped short because I saw Dominick, holding Gia in his arms, heading in my direction. Working with agility, I ducked around the bend of the hallway to avoid detection. “Dom, what are we going to do about the baby?” Gia sounded hurt. Without a word, Dominick helped Gia into a ward. Gia stopped in her tracks, her voice choked with sobs, “Do you not want the baby? I can terminate the pregnancy.” She whirled around to run off, but Dominick was quick to catch her and held her tight in his arms. “I do. “I want the baby.” He murmured, “The timing just isn’t right. You can have the baby, and as compensation, I can promise you one thing. Anything you want.” Gia’s eyes brimmed with tears. “Okay

With the question leaving my lips, everybody looked down while Dominick froze. The staff were stunned that I’d come out and ask Dominick right in the face. Dominick was taken aback by the certainty in my tone It sounded less like a question and more like a statement. Dominick’s expression went stiff. Nevertheless, he quickly pulled himself together and resumed his usual stern look. “Luna, let me be clear one last time. Gia is family to me.“I will only be disappointed in you if you don’t drop the subject.” I stared at him in silence, silently applauding his convincing act. His eyes held no hint of apology for lying through his teeth. As tension grew thick in the room, the staff held their breath and waited for my moment of hysteria. However, I did nothing of that sort. Instead, I chuckled to myself. “Oh, really? “Understood.” Dominick was dumbstruck at first, but he quickly relaxed his tense muscles, thinking that I had bought his story. I stepped around Dominick

(Third-Person Perspective)“Hear me out, Dom. She photoshopped these pictures. I’ve never sent her these texts.” Gia was quick to explain, but Dominick refused to give her the time of day. The mysterious gift box, the unexpected guests, and the material on the screen made his head spin. It was too much for Dominick to take in. The chat logs displayed on the screen kept going, not giving him time to think. Next, a voice recording was played.The audio vividly captured Gia’s aggression. “Guess where I am, Luna. Hehe. Let me tell you. I’m in Dom’s bed right now. “Dom told you that he was away on business, but he was actually planning our wedding. Don’t be mad. It’s your fault for not getting pregnant. “Once I have this baby, Dom will be mine. It’s only a matter of time before my man dumps you. You’ll become a cast-off reject.” The crowd went ballistic before the recording even ended. “Did I hear that right? He got his own sister pregnant?” “Homewreckers are getting

(Third-Person Perspective)Dominick cocked his head back, his eyes bloodshot. “What are you implying?” “Have I not made myself clear? Luna is dead. I killed her.” “What did you say?” Dominick jumped and grabbed Gia by the throat. “I said I killed her! I stabbed her right in the stomach and dumped her into the filthy sewage. Hahaha!” The woman’s manic laughter echoed in the empty ward. Gia was completely unhinged. “Dominick, are you sure you want to leave my child to die?” Gia looked at him smugly. Dominick’s complexion was drained of color. As he released his grip, the look of victory in Gia’s eyes grew. Dominick rose to his feet, his eyes vacant of a spark. He beckoned to the doctor. “If her child survives, I will kill you all.” Gia’s crackle came to an abrupt stop. “What did you say? My unborn child is your only heir. Do you think I’m lying? Luna is dead!” Despite her hysterical screams, Dominick paid her no mind. Leaning against the wall, Dominick stagge
