Arabella POV✨✨✨
“Hi, William.” He was seated on the table with a cu-p of h0t coffee while pla-ying with his phone.
“Hi, Ara,” he greeted back and pu-ll-ed a chair for me. I smiled with a thank you.
“Order something?” He asked out of politeness. I ordered a cu-p of h0t chocolate.
“Thanks for coming over.” He was really helpful in our relationsh!p.
“No problem. I bet I am the consultant in your relationsh!pwith Dom,” he said jokingly which made me laughed softly.
“If you don’t mind tell me what’s wrong between you two. I noticed that Dom wasn’t in a good state this few days or to be exact that friend of mine were in a mess.”
He shook his head. Probably the image of Dominic pestered in his head right now.
I sighed before telling him the truth. There was a reason for me to call him today.
I nee-d to figure out something and find out the truth about Dominic. I know he will be the right person to talk to and I know I can trust him on this.
“Do you remember the night Grace went to your bar?” I paused, “With Dominic,” I continued. He knitted his brows tried to recall something, I guess.
“Yeah, I did remember that night but he didn’t come with Grace.”
“But she was there with him.”
“You can’t blame him for that. Grace is the crazy ex that keeps chasing for him. He wouldn’t keep anything away from you.”
“He did s£nd me a text telling me that he was at the bar that time and I was thinking of giving him a surprise that night but it turned out that I was the one who received the surprise,” I mocked at myself.
“Don’t tell me because of that you avoiding him for these few days.” It c@m£ as a statement instead of a question. I nodded weakly. Pathetic but true.
“I saw her being t©uçhy with him and she k!$$£d him,” I exclaimed in a pissed tone but he just laughed and I looked at him confused.
“This is going to be epic,” he said still laughing.
“What do you mean?”
“You should’ve seen his response after that k!ss. You know what, he just splashed her with his drinks and said that he is all yours and she can’t t©uçh him without your permission.”
His statement amused me and I can s-en-se my heart jumped happily.
“Seriously?” I blurted out.
“I thought he still loves her since he never mentioned her to me.”
“You are totally wrong.”
“Pathetically, it turned out to be like that.”
“Can’t you see how much he cares for you? You remembered the night he was drun!k?” I nodded.
“That was the first night he drun!kafter two years of being sober and you were the reason. Can’t you see the damage that you have done to him? You made him crazy, Ara.”
“You mean he never drun!kfor the past two years?” Now I’m confused again. I never heard about this story of him.
“Yeah, tragically,” he sighed. “Do you know about her sister?”
“Yes, sort of. I saw her pictures and I knew that she died because of a car accident,” I said remembered what Dominic told me about her sister but not in a full story.
“It was a car accident with Dominic. He drove the car when he was drun!kand that time he tried to chase Grace after he found out that she cheated on him.
His sister tried to st©p him and begged him to slow down but he was not sober. He was overwhelmed by his emotion and drun!kenness. The car lost control and fli-pped.
He was in a critical condition but his sister couldn’t be saved because of the serious internal bleeding in her head.”
I can see the sadness on his face. They might know each other or maybe close.
“After that incident, he never t©uçhed any alcoholic drinks until that night when he saw the picture of you and Matt.
He said he wanted to make himself drun!kso he can clear his mind about you and Matt but he reminded me not to let him drive. That’s how you affected him.”
“I never knew about this. I avoided talking to him about Grace because I was afraid.
I was afraid if he tells me that he still loves her. I’m scared of losing him.” I finally admitted after I figure out my undefined feeling.
“No, it won’t happen. Grace was in the past. He never talked about her after she dumped him for another guy. You should open your heart and try to give him a chance. He is a good man, Ara.
You wouldn’t want to miss this guy,” he said with sincerity as a friend. His words t©uçhed my heart. I almost cried with his advice.
“Thank you, William. I think now I nee-d to go. To correct all the things that I have done before it is too late,” I gr@bb£d my beg and stood out from the chair knowing what I nee-d to do. My heart feels like it has been lifted from a heavy stone
“I expect a happy ending,” he smiled with encouragement.
“It will be,” I reas-sured him and with that, I quic-ken my steps. I nee-d to meet him. I want to talk to him and I want to apologize to him badly. I want to hold him too like how he holds me all this while.
I don’t want to deny this feeling anymore. Now, it is my turn to mark him as mine.
Episode 32
Arabella POV✨✨✨
I entered the high building and walked directly to the reception counter.
The receptionist with a black uniform smiled and greeted me politely. I’m not sure if she recognizes me since this was the first time I c@m£ to Dominic’s office.
“Good evening, Mrs. Duncan,” she greeted which made me stunned. She just clears my doubt that I had earlier. I smiled at the last name. I realized how much I love that name now.
“Good evening. Is Dominic still in his office?” I asked being impatient but tried my best to control it.
“Yes, he is still in his office at this hour. Do you want me to tell him about your arrival?”
“No, it’s okay. I will go to his room. plea-se, can you let me know where his office is?”
“On the 18th floor, Mrs. I will lead you the way. plea-se,” she said leading the way to the lift.
“It’s okay. I will take it from here,” I refused politely which she nodded with a smile still on her face.
I pressed the bu-tton with number eighteen written on it and leaned on the metallic wall of the lift while waiting for the lift to arrive at the floor. .
Only a few minutes and I heard a ‘ding’ sound signified that I arrived at the floor.
I stepped out from the lift and saw some open space on the left side whilst on the right side there are few rooms with names written on each of the doors. I saw a blonde girl sitting at the front desk and I approached her for the direction.
“Hi, may I know which one is Dominic’s office?”
“Oh, hi, Mrs. Duncan. The reception told me about your arrival. The last room at the corner is Mr. Duncan’s room,” She pointed to the last room on the right side.
“Is he having a meeting inside the room now?” I just want to make sure I didn’t make an ugly scene for showing up while he was busy attending meetings or discussions with any client.
“No, his friend is in the room-” She didn’t finish her words which I cut her off.
“Grace?” I confirmed. Called it woman’s instinct. She nodded.
Great, good timing. It’s showtime.
I remain my calm expression and thanking her before I headed to Dominic’s room. Without knocking on the door, I entered the room and there were two figures that turned to look at me.
One with a shocked expression whiles the other one with a devilish smile. Just wait; I will kill that smile from your face soon.
“Sweetheart, what-”
“Hey, love,” I called him with a nickname which I never used before and he seems confused and shocked.
I walked to him and sat on his l@p while the devil woman, Grace was on the chair across us. She glared at me with a pissed off look to which I silently s£nding her a look of hell.
I can s-en-se Dominic stared at me while his hand hvgged my w@!st and the other hand holds my leg so that I can rest stably on his l@p.
“What is she doing here in your office?” I purposely asked to annoy her more.
“Oh, I know. I think she wants to claim you back.” I said while nuzzling my nose to his.
“Am I right?” I continued and turned to look at her.
“bit-ch, do you really think he ever loves you?” She scowled.
“Hey, don’t you dare call her like that!” Dominic protected me.
“Now you see how much he loves me,” I chided proudly.
“I was wrong at the restaurant that night when I said that I’m sorry for taking his surname. I shouldn’t be sorry at all.
You made the choice to leave him two years ago and you have no right to mess with our life now. I won’t give you the chance to do that.
If you still have a little pride, plea-se walk out from our life and never come and disturb us anymore.” I tried to control my anger.
“You might miss some interesting p@rt,” she said with a sm-irk and took out his phone from her bag. She t©uçhed the screen with her index f!nger and shows me the picture.
It was the picture in the bar in which she k!$$£d Dominic, the one that I witnessed with my own eyes. Dominic’s eyes wi-den and he gritted his teeth.
“No, sweetheart. Let me explain,” he said nervously worried that there will be another misun-derstanding again between us.
I smiled at him and gestured for him to st©p. I placed my hand on the back of his n£¢k clutching to him.
“Well, why don’t you show me the picture which Dom splashed you with drinks after the k!ss,” I mocked which caused her to gritted her teeth while Dominic looked at me amused.
I know there must be so many question marks on his head at this moment. I will deal with that later.
“Poor thing you can only k!sshim on his cheek and yet still being rejected while I can k!sson hisl-ips as much as I want,” I said and with that, I k!ssmy husband voluntarily at hisl-ips for the first time.
I move my face closer and smooch hisl-ips ignoring the fact that we weren’t alone in the room.
I can felt his grip ti-ght£ñ on my w@!st while his other hand slides to my back pu-ll-ed me closer to his che-st and removing the gap between us. He responded to my k!sspas-sionately.
I tried to pu-ll away when I realized Grace was gone but he pu-ll-ed me closer which made me completely stick to his b©dy.
“I love yourl-ips,” he said with a big grin once he pu-ll-ed away from the k!ssand I blu-shed with my own action.
I tried to stand up from his l@p but he pu-ll-ed me back ma-king me seated on his l@p one more time.
“Try to run away after k!ss!ngme?” He tea-sed. He hvgged my b©dy acting like I’m a prisoner that tried to escape.
I lowered my head to meet his level and I placed my hand at the back of his n£¢k tried to stable myself.
I’m not running away,” I defended myself. I can felt the blood rushed to my face due to embarras-sment especially when he keeps staring at me at a close distance.
“St©p staring at me like that,” I pleaded which make him hollered with a light chuckle.
“Tell me everything. What is this? Sweet attack?”
“Just to make your ex-girlfriend stay away from us,” I stated bluntly and rolled my eyes which made him laughed.
“Aww, I love it when you are jealous,” his words made me narrowed my eyes on him.
“I’m not jealous,” I said and look away but he holds my face makes me stare at him.
“Said it again,” he raised his eyebrows waiting for my response. I can see he tried to hide his smile.
“Argh, you knew it so st©p mentioning it.” All I can hear was his laughter filled his office room.
“St©p,” I said sl@pped her shoulder lightly.
“Ok, ok. Now tell me how do you know about the bar?”
“I was there that night.
I wanted to text you and tell you that I’m on my way to the bar but I received your text before that.
So I decided not to text you and I wanted to surprise you by showing up there but unfortunately, it turned out that I was being surprised by both of you.”
“So you saw that she k!$$£d me?”
“Yeah, I saw she k!$$£d you and I ran away.”
“And how do you know about the splashed after that?”
“William told me.”
“Wait, William as in William my buddy?”
“Yes, silly,” I chuckled at his confused face. “I met him earlier which makes me decided to come to your office.”
“Enlighten me, plea-se.” He still confused.
“He told me about everything.”
“Everything as in..?”
“About what happened two years ago, about your sister, your ex-girlfriend, and your soberness for two years and the reason why you drun!kon the night when you saw me with Matt?
He also encouraged me to give both of us a chance.”
“That’s the interesting p@rt. And what do you think?”
“Which p@rt are you talking about?” I asked pretended to be unsure. He pinched the ti-p of my nose which made me chuckled.
“A chance,” he highlighted the words. “Can we both make it happen?” The love, the wish, and hope. I can see it clearly from him.
I might be the most stupid woman if I rejected this guy, this love, and this chance. Just like William said I don’t want to lose him.
“Yes,” I nodded and he attacked myl-ips with his long and de-ep pas-sionate k!ss. There goes our second k!ssin his office.
