All Chapters of The Return Of Broken Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 26

ElenaThe soft ping of my phone echoed through the quiet cottage as I finished working, I closed my laptop and leaned back against my seat. Two days had passed since my meeting with Dominic, and the border lockdown was being lifted in a day or two. My phone buzzed again, snapping me out of my thoughts. I picked up the phone and saw Dominic's name flashing across the screen. "Good evening, Miss Silverwood," Dominic's polite voice echoed over the speaker. "I hope I'm not disturbing your evening.""Not at all, Mr. Johnson," I replied, leaning against the kitchen counter. "Is this regarding the proposal?""It is," he said smoothly. "I was wondering if you might be open to discussing a few things over dinner tonight? There are a few operational clauses I'd like to clarify in person."I hesitated, my hand tightening around the phone. "I appreciate the gesture, Mr. Johnson, but I usually keep my evenings reserved for my son.""Of course," Dominic answered quickly, his tone warm and entirel

Elena point of view. Before I could open my mouth to respond, Marcus turned to face Dominic, who was standing by the corner with an emotionless look on his face. The tension in the room made it hard to breathe for a moment. "You should leave, I don't appreciate outsiders involving themselves in my business," Marcus said, adjusting the hem of his sleeves. "Now."Dominic didn't flinch, he held eye contact with Marcus for a few seconds more before looking at me and waiting for my signal. I let out a small sigh and gave him a small, almost reluctant nod. Honestly, I didn't want to remain here with Marcus. But with the look on his face, it seemed as though he wasn't here to play around. "I'll head home now, Elena. If you need anything you can call me." Dominic said softly. He crossed the room and stopped beside the bed, then he smiled down at Kai. "Get some rest, little guy."Kai gave him a small smile, Dominic turned and walked out of the room, allowing the heavy lock to click back in

Kai stared up at his mother with a thoughtful expression on his face. "Why do I like mister Marcus?" He repeated. "Well, because he looks like the older me and he seems to remember things about you from when you weren't pregnant with me."Elena tilted her head at his response, "What do you mean by that, baby?""It means I hardly know anything about you. Everyone acts like something never happened before you got pregnant with me." Kai paused and stared down at his hand. "I don't like that."Before Elena could even start to comprehend or think of an answer, a light knock sounded at the door. She took a deep breath, then said, "It's open."The door was pushed open slowly, and Dominic stepped into the room. He had a neat brown sweater on, carrying a colorful gift bag in one hand and a soft dinosaur plushie in the other. "Elena, Kai, good morning." Dominic greeted with a warm smile as he stepped into the room. "How's our little boy doing today?"Kai's face lit up slightly, "Mr. Johnson."
