CHAPTER 30

I tried calling my mother multiple times that I lost track of how many calls went into her voicemail."Dominic, she's not answering her phone," I said as I tried calling again."Hang on, we're almost there."I nodded and called my mom's number again.What could they possibly want from my mom? This is literally absurd.The car stopped, and I looked up to see reporters outside my mother's house.We were one block away from the house."How did they even get here so fast?" I mumbled.Dominic didn't answer but accelerated.My breath hitched as cameras started flashing. Dominic got out and opened the door for me.What surprised me the most was that they were close but not too close to actually touch us.Are they that scared of Dominic?"What can you say about this issue right now?""When did this happen?"My head started getting dizzy because of the cameras and questions, but with Dominic's arm wrapped around me, I was able to stay on my feet.However, questions kept coming."How long has t

CHAPTERS 31

All those years of carrying the feeling of being alone and the feeling that nobody in my family would ever choose my side. Now that my father finally sided with me, I don't know how to feel or react. Everything feels new. The room is quieter than ever. The media outside are slowly leaving as Dominic called his security to take care of the situation outside. "I should have stepped in sooner... I shouldn't have let Anna rely too heavily on you... I shouldn't have avoided that responsibility." My father looked directly into my eyes. "What are you talking about, Albert? What we did was right!" my mother butted in. "No, it isn't, Jana. You're also at fault here," Dad said firmly. "You're making it sound like this is all my fault." "I'm saying we both failed Lilary." I looked down. My father is the one I'm closest to in this family, and seeing him arguing with my mom... feels great. "Did you force her into this marriage?" I looked up and saw my dad facing Dominic. "No," Dominic

CHAPTER 32

"Lilary-"I glared at Francis as he took a step "Lilary I-" I glared at Francis as he took a step closer. "What do you want, Francis?" I said firmly. He stared at me for a second too long before finally opening his mouth. "I want revenge... You married my father." He clenched his fists. "And... I want you back Lilary." He looked at me directly into my eyes. What? He wants me back?Francis wants me back?An unbelievable silence enveloped us. Anyone is too stunned to speak.I didn't know how to react. No one knows how. "How dare you!" Anna screamed as she sobbed.I glanced at Anna as she caressed her stomach, as if protecting it. I somewhat felt something stirred inside me. Is it anger? Is it hatred? Is it guilt? I don't know. "Get out of my house!" My father yelled. "After getting Anna pregnant you came here saying you want Lilary back? In front of us? Get out!" My father stormed towards the entrance and opened the door widely. "I didn't mean it like that sir-" Francis tr

CHAPTER 33

"Ma'am? Don't you want to hold a press conference about it?"I looked at Sarah. "No.""But the bank's investors are asking for explanations. They're thinking what Francis said is true," she reasoned.I leaned back. "The truth will come out soon.""And when is that exactly?" she crossed her arms. "Very soon, Sarah." I shrugged her off. "How are you so calm about it? I'm the one getting frustrated on your behalf." Sarah sighed heavily.I chuckled. "Dominic said he'll handle it.""You trust him that much?" she asked carefully."Why not? He's my husband."I paused for a moment.Did I really just say that?Husband.Sarah stared at me for a moment before nodding slowly."Well, in that case, I should leave this report here and get back to work." She smiled.I gave her a nod as she put the files on my table, showing herself out.I sighed as I searched the latest news online.And just as I expected, Francis's conference was still the number one topic.Of course it wouldn't die down immediate

CHAPTER 34

"Send me the reports I have to review tonight," I said as I closed my laptop. "You're leaving this early?" Sarah stopped typing on her laptop and looked at the wall clock. "It is still 1:33 PM." "I have a doctor's appointment with Dominic," I said casually. Sarah suddenly screamed; that was also half a shriek. "You're pregnant?!" My eyes widened. "No!" "Oh, I get it. You are trying to get pregnant," she said, giving me a teasing smile. I rolled my eyes. This girl is really nosy. "Does that also mean you're officially over at Francis?" I stared at her before smiling. "I am." "Of course that's what you're going to say." I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." "Have you decided on a name yet?" she looked at me. As if on cue, Dominic texted me that he is already outside of the bank. "Just send me the files before 7 PM.""Oh come on!" she laughed. I shook my head as I gathered my things to leave. I clocked out and met Dominic, who was leaning in his car. He is still wearing his bus

CHAPTER 35

"Dominic..."I stared at him in shock."Would you believe me if I told you that I feel something stirring inside me whenever I know that you are thinking about Francis?"My heart did a flip that I feel like even the judges of gymnastics would rate a 10."I don't like this feeling, Hillary," he said, almost a whisper.Something inside me shifted.He looks so vulnerable right now.I badly want to look away as I feel like I can't face him."Aren't you going to say something?""I don't know what to say..."It's the truth. I am speechless.I don't know how to react.He clicked his tongue as he placed his hands on his hip before looking away.Footsteps suddenly echoed into the quiet living room."Forgive me for interrupting Mr. and Mrs. Hemenez, but I have to report something urgent to Mr. Hemenez." Gregory bowed slightly before fixing his gaze to Dominic.Dominic nodded at Gregory before they left me alone in the living room.I waited for Dominic to look at me, but he didn't, and that som

CHAPTER 36

I couldn't stop thinking about Dominic's words.They echoed in my mind like a song stuck on repeat.It was frustrating.Every time I closed my eyes, I could see the vulnerable expression on his face.Dominic Hemenez.The man who was always cold and untouchable. The man everyone feared.Yet he had looked almost afraid when he confessed those words to me.And I said nothing."You're an idiot, Lillary."I buried my face in my pillow and groaned.I should have said something. Instead, I stood there and stared at him like a fool.What a mess.He must think I still have feelings for Francis.The thought alone made me cringe.I didn't feel anything for Francis anymore.Nothing but resentment.Nothing but the desire to make him pay for everything he had done.With a sigh, I lazily reached for my phone on the nightstand and dialed Dominic's number.The call rang. And rang. And rang.No answer.I frowned.What could possibly be keeping him busy at this hour?Glancing at my wristwatch, I saw tha

CHAPTER 37

"Is something bothering you, madame?"I flinched as I heard Gregory suddenly speak.When did he come in? I swear this man can move without him getting noticed."No. But thanks for asking." I muttered."Is it too bitter?" He approached me."Uh, a little bit." I took a small sip."Coffee is really bitter, madame." He said as he put a bowl of sugar in front of me."Especially if we don't admit that we need sugar to sweeten the taste."I bit my lower lip, "Are we still talking about coffee?"He gave me a light smile. "May I?" He gestured about putting sugar in my coffee "You may," I answered.I watched as Gregory scooped a teaspoon of sugar and started gently mixing it togethe on my coffee."How long have you been working here?" I asked.He finished stirring and distanced himself respectfully."37 years, ma'am."37 years? So Dominic was around four years old when Gregory started working?"How old are you?" I asked curiously."67 years old, ma'am.""You shouldn't call me ma'am. It feels

CHAPTER 38

I ended the call with a heavy sigh.How could Francis do this?"What did he say?" I massaged my temples. "He wants me to talk to him about Anna's pregnancy or he'll release another press conference."Dominic tsked before taking a sip of his coffee."He wouldn't do that," he said calmly."How do you know? He even released a statement about us getting married."Dominic just keeps drinking his coffee, totally unbothered.Can you be more serious? We are talking about thousands to millions of people judging us," I said, clearly getting frustrated.He slowly put down his mug before meeting my eyes. "I already took care of that issue, wife." Wife.Why do I feel like it sounds like a joke?Is it because I still can't get over the fact of what he answered to my question last night?Why did he just dozed off to sleep after saying that?FLASHBACK TO LAST NIGHTDid you love Francine?" He stopped stroking my cheek."Yes."I felt my heart stop. My gaze dropped on the floor.But I know that I do

CHAPTER 39

An invitation for me? For Francine's death anniversary?Why would there be an invitation for me? Isn't it inappropriate?I bit my lower lip as I stared at my name written in elegant cursive.Dominic and I are currently discussing whether to go or not, but it seems like Dominic's mind is already made up."We are not going.""What? Why?" I closed the invitation card."It's not convenient."I crossed my arms. "Gregory told me last night how you always wanted to go to Francine's tomb."His gaze sharpened. "That doesn't mean we are going."I rolled my eyes. "I give up." I threw my arms in the air in surrender.There is no way I am winning an argument with this man."Good."I sat on the couch opposite where he was sitting.I swear I sometimes get emotionally tired of arguing with Dominic. How hard is it to convince this man of steel?I looked at Dominic as he flipped a page of the book he was reading.I unknowingly tilted my head. He looks so intimidating that it makes me wonder if he's alw
