The Day I Finally Stopped Loving You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Just before I reached the front gate, Dominic called after me."Mia. Take off the ring. Alina likes it."That ring had been his promise to me. It was worth a fortune, and I'd worn it on my finger for five years. I was used to its weight.But once love was gone, even the most expensive token was just a cold piece of metal.Besides, I hadn't forgotten what happened the last time I refused to give Alina what she wanted. I'd refused to hand over my sunglasses in the desert. He left me out there. It took me three days on foot to find my way back.I slid the ring off without hesitation and put it on Alina's finger."I hope you and Dominic last forever."Dominic's voice softened a little."Mia, if you behave, you can still live here with us. Alina and I are both used to you taking care of us."Alina shook the ring off her finger before he'd even finished. She held up her hand. Her eyes filled with tears."Dominic, it hurts. I'm allergic to metal."There was a red rash on her finger where the

I picked up. I didn't even get the chance to speak."Mia, the men I sent said they couldn't find you. What happened?""Nothing serious. There was just a small problem.""A problem? I just got you back. You can't have any problems, do you hear me? Are you trying to scare your father to death?""Where are you right now? I'll send people to watch over you. No — forget it, I'll come myself. I won't be able to sleep otherwise—"Listening to him fuss, I couldn't help smiling.So this was what it felt like to matter to someone.It was warm.I lowered my voice. "I have something to take care of here. Just give me a few more days.""I'll be fine. Don't worry."He sighed, gave me a few more reminders, and hung up.Dominic came back as I was ending the call.He saw the smile at the corner of my mouth — a smile he hadn't seen in a long time — and something tightened in his chest.He grabbed his folder."Mia. Something came up at the company. I'll come tomorrow."He didn't come the next day. Or the

[Dominic's POV]"Dominic, is our baby okay?"Alina's eyes were wide and pleading. I pulled her closer without thinking."The doctor said the baby's perfect. Yesterday's accident didn't affect him at all.""Thank god. You looked so serious from the moment we walked in. You weren't saying anything. I thought something was wrong with the baby."Her words made me pause.For a second I saw Mia's eyes. Cold. Looking through me.I'd left in a hurry yesterday. I'd forgotten she was still on that balcony.But the house was full of guards. And Alina was pregnant. Of course Alina came first. That was obvious.I pulled out my phone again and checked my messages.Mia hadn't sent me a single word. Not one.She used to follow me around like a puppy. The colder I was to her, the harder she tried.Now she'd learned to play games.I let out a small laugh and led Alina out of the obstetrics ward, careful to support her weight. I made sure she got home safely.I'd just walked into my study when the Beta c

[Dominic's POV]I watched her walk away. My fists tightened.All those small things she'd done lately. Looking back, the signs had been there.I'd been blind.But this. The Alpha King's daughter. There was no way I could have seen it coming.Nine years ago, I'd found her in the woods, half-starved, alone. I'd brought her home because I'd recognized her as my fated mate.But she didn't have a name. She didn't have a wolf. She was a nobody Omega.The Luna of Moon Stone Pack couldn't be a weak Omega like that.So even though we lived as mates, even though we had a child, I never marked her. I never made her my Luna.This was different.She was the Alpha King's daughter. Higher status than Alina. Alina was just the daughter of one of my Gammas. The thing that had been in my way was gone. She should be happy. Why was she telling me no?She was still hung up on Alina and the baby. That was it.What I'd offered wasn't enough for her. I hadn't been sincere enough.I lit a cigarette. I thought

[Dominic's POV]I grabbed her without thinking.I knew. If I let her walk out that door, I would never see her again.She shook me off. She didn't try to hide the disgust on her face.She turned to Tristan. "Show him out of Twilight Valley."Tristan gestured at the door. "This way, sir.""Do you know who I am? Don't you dare speak to me like that!"He didn't blink. "This is Twilight Valley. The Alpha King's territory. The lady doesn't want you here. I don't care who you are.""Walk out, or I'll throw you out."I forced down the rage."That won't be necessary."I left.I drove straight back to Moon Stone Pack. I didn't stop.Her words kept playing."I still liked the first one better."The ring. That ring.If I could find that ring, she'd forgive me.I made it home in two hours.I was almost at the door when I heard Alina on the phone inside.I stopped without thinking. I didn't go in.She was furious."Did you tell Dominic that I had you crash into Mia's car? That I made her lose the b
