Chapter 5
Dominic
For a moment, I’m certain my ears are only deceiving me, so I get closer and rest the side of my face right againstVanessa’sbedroom door.
When I hear her loudandclear, mylipscurve into a smirk of satisfaction. She’s definitely crying and it feels great to see her miserable. I guess I got back at her after all.
She must have come to my bedroom and heard Carmella moaning.
What a hypocrite. Acting like she didn’t want me yet hearing me in the other room hurt herthatmuch.
Iactuallywant tostandright here longer and listen to her drown in her misery while alone in that bed, but I decide to leave.I’veheard more than enough to feel that I’ve settled a score with her.
She may not have worn the lingerie for me in preparation for our wedding night, but her being all alone finally got to her because she’ll never be Carmella,
As I walk away,I chuckle softly.
There’s been so many times when Vanessa acted like she was all that. It wasbecauseshe knew I couldn’t get rid of her and needed her just to please my parents.
Nowthatshe’s with me, this is just the beginning of her misery,
I wonder if I’ll
point out tomorrow that Iheardher cry. Maybe I shouldn’t. It’ll be too humiliating but on second thought, that’s exactlywhatI want to do to her – give her nothing but humiliation whenever I feel like she deserves it
Nowthatmy mood is elevated even more by my victoryinthis situation, I return to my room, quietly move around so I don’t wake up Carmella. But I soon remind myself she’s too exhausted to open her eyes.
After reaching for my phone. I come downstairs and sit by the fireplace.
As soon as I turn it on, it constantlybuzzeswith notifications and I know what they’re all about. This time, Ipayno attention to them and only wish to see something specific.
While I type in the words Little Warriors, the name of my children’s hospital, I smile at the thought of the critical surgery
that was a success.
Once I’m able to filter out everything else and only view messages from the hospital. I click on theimagessent to me of the liule girl.
She’s connected to several machines post surgery and I can’t wait to see her. I wonder what toys to get for her.
The children’s hospital is a personal project that I started when just turned eighteenandno matter what happens, it’s the one thing I’ll never give up on
After checking the other emails on the other children not doing oo well andwhattheir needs are, I reply to all of them
Usually, I don’t reply to business emails if the time isn’t approprite. Right now, it’s 3 a.m. andwaypastworking hours, but for the children’s hospital, it’s different. I’ll always respondassoon as I see the emails.
To celebrate the peace I feel right now, I head to the mini bar and pour myselfadrink,mythoughts shifting back to Vanessa crying over me not being with her, as she should.

Chapter 3
Vanessa
This isn’t how I expected my night to turn out. The spot where I lay my head is getting soaked in my tears which won’t stop streaming down my face.
Everything was perfectly fine when I fell asleep and I was certain would have a good night, but I was wrong. It’s now 3 amandI’m bawling myeyesout likeIaimtosoakthe entire sheets in mytears.
Curling up more than 1 already have, I chatch my chest with both hands, which tremble and match my quivering lip. The emotional pain in my heart is just too much for me right now,
I hadadreamabout my mother, the kind I’ve had for so many years. The only difference is this time, it hurts too much and I just feel so sad without her.
Maybe it’s because I kept longing for her while thinking about the wedding. And my father’s message also might’ve played a
role.
I don’t even have him close to me right now. He embraces me at times when the same dream troubles me at night. I’m far from home, far from him and despite everyone present in this house, it’s the same as I’m all alone
What a sorrowful night I’ve had so far
No matter how many times I wipe my tears,thesorrow in my heart just doesn’t fade so I sit up and rest my head on top of my knees, dropping it to one side and rocking back and forth. Inist hope I’ll calm down soon.
Though it takes a while for my racing heart to return to its regular state, I give it time, telling myself that it’s alright, all this. while tears continue to stream down my face.
When my sorrow fades, I wipe away my tears and sniffleafew times, getting back in bedsoIcan go back to sleep.
As soon as I close my eyes, I bring my hands together and tightly intertwine my fingers, begging the universe for me not to dream about my mother the way I did. Anything but that.
It takesawhile but finally, I fall asleep.
It’s finally morning and as I open my eyes, it takes a while for my vision to adjust. I’m then reminded of the reason behind it
As the view gets clearer, despite the discomfort in my eyes,Istare up at the beautiful white ceilingandwhile I blink. I feel the skin on the sidesofmy eyes and cheekbones tighter than usual. It’s because I didn’t wash my face after wiping my tears away before going back to sleep.
The thick white blinds of my bedroom are still closed butthereare a few sun rays beaming through and hitting the surface of the white walls, leading to some brightness in the room.
It takes me a few more minutes togathermy thoughts so I close my eyes and just then, I hear the waves outside and that prompts me to get out of bed
While my feet step on the plush carpet, I look back at the spot where I lay my head and it’s stained in my tears. I don’t want to dwell on it so I focus on heading to the bathroom..
As I lean forward and place my hands on the sides of the bathroom sink countertop, I can’t stop looking at my face in the mirror in front of me. My dark circles are extremely noticeable and I’m not even surprised.
I bend over to wash my faceafew times and when I stand upright and check myself out again, the only difference is I feel a little bit more awake but my gloomy expression doesn’t go away
It’s a good thing I brought my makeup. I’ll be able to hide all my dark circles. Iwon’tlet anyone see me like this
Chapter 5
Done with my face, I loosen myhair, take off mypajamasand step into the shower.
As the watersoaksmyscalp, I sigh with relief and smile. I should enjoy the beautiful day. EvenasI lather the shampoo in my hair, it’s all so refreshing.
After I step out of the showerinawhite robe, it’s time to bring more brightness into my room.
myeyes at
Assoon as I approach the window and open the blinds, the morning sun hits my face and I love it. I even close the sound of the tranquil waves softly brushingagainstthe shore, I sigh calmly, all of it being a soothing harmony for me and it envelops me.
Now that my mind is filled with positivity, I open my eyes andlookat the beautiful view of the sea. I wish my hair was dry right now so itcouldblow in the gentle wind.
Though I plan to explore this beautiful island, I first need to have something to eat, sowhilestill in my robe, I rake my hands through my wet hair. I plan to keep it this way.
Once I’m done,I grab my phoneandturn it on as Iheaddownstrs
There are a few maids awaiting instructions and I inform them of what I wish to have for breakfast. While I want the meal to be quick so I can step outside, I also want it to be heavy.
As I wait. I go around the house to view it all and when I walk past acertaindoor and hear Carmellamoaningloudly from inside. I just casually walk by.
I don’t know for how long I’ll be on this island but Iplanto make the most out of all the scenery around me, except the sight of those two.
By the time my breakfast is served at the dining table and I’m halfway done, Dominic and Carmella come downstairs in white robes, just like the one I have on
She’s all over him like a liule puppy and I look away to focus on my delicious meal. I’m not yet as satisfied as I want to be.
While I’m focused on it, I hear a few kissing sounds as she moans againsthislips.
When they stop, 1 sense her approaching me and then without warning, her hands reach for one of the bowls close to me..
As soonasI spot her, I raise my eyebrowsather and lean back as say, “Don’t touch my breakfast.”
She scoffs as she brings the bowl closer to her face. “Or what? Hrom? What are you g
Though I exercise patience, I rise to my feet and snatch the bowl from her
“Getyour own breakfast,”Isayto her with raised eyebrows.
gonna do about it?”
She turns to Dominic with another scoff and angrily points at me “Babe, look at this bitch! Do something!”
I don’t even sit back down. I just cross my arms and stare at him as I wonder if he’s really about to give mybreakfastto her.
