Chapter 0130

Dominic woke slowly to the steady sound of machines beeping beside him.For several seconds, his vision remained blurred while pain spread heavily through his body, especially around his injured leg and ribs. The smell of medicine filled the quiet hospital room while faint morning light slipped through the curtains near the window.He inhaled carefully and immediately regretted it when pain tightened sharply through his chest.A low curse nearly left his mouth before he finally noticed the figure sleeping beside his bed.Rachel.She sat curled awkwardly against the side chair with her head resting near his arm, one hand still loosely holding onto his hospital blanket like she had fallen asleep trying not to let go of him.Dominic stared at her silently.Dark circles rested beneath her eyes, and strands of hair had fallen messily across part of her face. She looked exhausted in a way that made guilt tighten painfully inside him.The memories from the previous night slowly returned all

The quietness inside the hospital room disappeared the moment the door opened again.Rachel instinctively looked up first, expecting another doctor or one of Dominic’s guards, but the moment her eyes landed on Bryce standing near the entrance beside Evangeline, her entire expression changed immediately.Dominic’s face hardened at the same time. For one sharp second, nobody inside the room spoke.Bryce looked worse than before. Bruises still covered parts of his face from the fight at the cliffside, and one side of his lip remained slightly swollen, but despite all of that, he still stood there calmly beside Evangeline like nothing had happened.Rachel sat upright immediately beside Dominic’s hospital bed. “What is he doing here?”Dominic’s jaw tightened visibly. “Why aren’t you in prison?”Bryce opened his mouth slightly, but Evangeline answered before he could speak. “Because I got him out,” she said clearly.Rachel stared at her in disbelief.Evangeline walked further into the room

The private hospital room had grown quiet over the last three days, mostly because Dominic was recovering much faster than every doctor expected.The gunshot wound in his leg still hurt whenever he moved too suddenly, but the swelling had reduced greatly and he no longer looked as pale as he did the first night Rachel almost lost him.Morning light slipped softly through the large windows while Dominic sat halfway upright against the hospital bed, one arm resting behind his head as Rachel sat beside him carefully peeling an orange.“You’re staring at me,” Rachel muttered without looking up.Dominic smirked slightly. “You’ve been peeling that orange for ten minutes.”Rachel finally looked at him. “Because you keep distracting me.”“I’m lying here injured and somehow I’m still the problem.”Rachel rolled her eyes before separating one piece of the orange and handing it to him. “You’re always the problem.”Dominic took it from her slowly. “That’s rude.”“You survived getting shot. Stop a

Chapter 0133--The End

(Three Months Later)Soft golden light filled the large bridal room while Rachel stood quietly in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection like she still could not completely believe everything was real.The wedding dress wrapped perfectly around her body, elegant and breathtaking without looking too heavy despite the small curve of her growing stomach hidden carefully beneath the layers of fabric.Her fingers rested lightly against her belly while emotion slowly tightened inside her chest.Elara stood behind her adjusting the final part of the veil carefully before stepping back to admire her work.“There,” Elara said proudly. “Now Dominic will probably forget how to breathe.”Rachel laughed softly under her breath. “You’re exaggerating.”“I’m absolutely not.”Rachel shook her head slightly, but the smile on her face refused to disappear.Elara walked closer afterward and stood beside her in front of the mirror. “Look at you.”Rachel’s eyes softened.Three months ago, she thoug

{~ EPILOGUE ~}~~Five Years Later~~Morning sunlight poured softly through the large windows of the Morello mansion while chaos echoed from the second floor.“Absolutely not.”“Daddy!”“No.”“Daddy, please!”Dominic stood in the middle of the hallway already dressed for work while a tiny girl clung dramatically to his leg like her life depended on it.Her curly dark hair looked messy from sleep, and her large eyes, unfortunately, looked exactly like Rachel’s.Which meant Dominic lost arguments against her far too often.“Aria,” he said firmly while trying to peel her tiny arms away from him, “you are not climbing that tree again.”“But Luca said I can do it!”Dominic’s expression darkened instantly. “Where is Luca?”A loud crash sounded downstairs.Dominic closed his eyes slowly. “I asked one question.”Rachel’s laughter echoed from the kitchen before she appeared moments later carrying a cup of coffee calmly like the house was not actively collapsing around them.Five years later, sh
