By evening, I was standing in front of my closet, trying to decide what to wear.I had already changed twice. I kept second-guessing myself.I pulled out another dress and held it against myself before shaking my head and putting it back.I wasn’t going to a gala.I wasn’t going to a business meeting.I was going to see Dominic.The thought alone made my stomach tighten.I turned back toward the closet.Eventually, I settled on a simple black dress that fell just above my knees. Nothing too formal. I changed into it and stood in front of the mirror.For a few seconds, I simply stared at my reflection.Then I reached for my earrings and put them on before picking up my bag.Before leaving, I glanced at my reflection one more time.A small smile touched my lips.I shook my head at myself.I was nervous.I couldn’t remember the last time Dominic had made me this nervous.Maybe I could.But I didn’t want to remember.I picked up my coat and walked out of my room.The hallway was quieter t

I walked out of the restaurant.I didn’t think about my car.I didn’t even remember that I had driven there.I just kept walking.My whole body was shaking.My fingers felt too unsteady to hold a steering wheel, and the thought of getting behind the wheel made my stomach twist.So I walked.The cold air hit my face, but it did nothing to settle the noise in my head.So this was it?No.I shook my head slightly.There had to be another explanation.Maybe that woman was an employee.Maybe Dominic had lost his phone.Maybe something had happened at Kings Enterprise and someone had needed to reach him.But then another thought came.He would have been here if any of those things had happened.He wouldn’t have made me wait for an hour.He wouldn’t have left me sitting there alone.Not after last night.Not after everything we had said.My pace slowed.I swallowed hard.Then I saw the traffic ahead.A small crowd had gathered along the side of the road.A police vehicle was parked with its

I followed Reed toward the car.He opened the passenger door for me without saying anything.I got inside.He closed the door, walked around the car, and got behind the wheel.For a while, neither of us spoke.The city moved quietly outside the windows.I rested my head against the seat and closed my eyes.My head was spinning.My chest still hurt.I could still see the empty chair across from me.The untouched table.The woman’s voice on Dominic’s phone.And the way I had sat there for almost an hour, waiting for him.I swallowed.After a few minutes, I opened my eyes.“Thank you.”He glanced at me briefly.“You don’t have to thank me.”I looked back out the window.“I’m sorry.”“For what?”“For being a burden.”His eyes stayed on the road.“You’re allowed to have a bad night, Aurelia.”I didn’t answer.The car became quiet again.By the time we reached his place, my head felt heavier.Reed parked and turned off the engine.I didn’t move immediately.He looked at me.“Can you walk?”

The drive to the hospital felt longer than it should have.I barely spoke.Neither did Reed.My mind kept returning to the same thought.Dominic was coming to meet me.I had walked past the wreckage of a car without knowing it might have been his.My stomach twisted.I looked out the window.When we finally reached Westbridge Royal Hospital, Reed pulled into the entrance.I opened the door before he had fully stopped.I hurried inside.The reception area was busy, but I barely noticed the people around me.I walked straight to the desk.“Excuse me.”The receptionist looked up.“How can I help you?”“I’m looking for Dominic Kings.”She typed something into the computer.“Your relationship to the patient?”I opened my mouth.Nothing came out.For some reason, the question caught me off guard.Then I finally spoke.“He’s the father of my child.”The receptionist looked at me for a moment.Then she checked the screen again.“Room 417.”“Thank you.”I turned immediately.Reed followed me i

We both chuckled.And for a few seconds, neither of us said anything.I simply sat beside him.The smile on my face slowly faded as I looked at him properly.The bruising along his cheek was darker now that I was sitting this close. There was another small mark near his temple.He looked tired.Really tired.Yet he had spent the last few minutes trying to make me laugh.Even lying in a hospital bed, he still found a way to make light of things.I looked down at our hands.Then back at him.Yesterday, I had thought he had abandoned me.It was strange how quickly everything could change.A knock sounded at the door.I looked up.The door opened and Hayes walked in first.My brows lifted.“Hayes?”He didn’t answer immediately.He simply looked at me, then at Dominic.Before I could ask why he was there, another figure appeared behind him.Ford.And beside him was Leo.My eyes widened.“Leo?”Leo’s face brightened the moment he saw the bed.His eyes went straight to Dominic.“Daddy!”Domi
