40. correctional facility

CHAPTER FORTY

Dominic’s POV

“And then we got into the elevator and…that’s it,” I stated looking away.

“Dominic I’m not a kid. What happened in the elevator?” Andre questioned leaning against my office table sipping his coffee while watching my face keenly.

“Nicole began touching me and suddenly I just…I lost control. No matter how much I wanted to stop, I just… couldn’t. It was like I was caught up in a sudden rush of the old feelings, you know,” I sighed helplessly.

“Dominic what exactly did you do?” Andre was looking with a horror expression daubed on his face.

“We kissed- but to be more precise I’m the one who initiated the kiss. And I wasn’t sure I wanted it stop. I wanted more Andre…I fucking wanted more,” I rubbed my forehead feeling frustration building in my system.

“Dominic are you insane? You have a fucking fiancée and yet you kissed your ex-wife. What is wrong with you buddy?” Andre’s voice dropped down to a whisper as he approached me.

“I don’t know, Okay? I thought I was over her Andre but meeting her…Andre I’m still in love with Nicole. Actually, I think I’m deeper in love with her than I was before,” I couldn’t deny the truth.

Silence befell the office as we each sank deep into our own thoughts. On my part I couldn’t stop thinking of Nicole. One thing was clear; that was not the same Nicole I had married. This new Nicole was different, much tougher and I had to admit that was driving me fucking insane. It was odd that I found her irresistible when I should hate her. I mean she did cheat on me with my younger brother.

“You can’t tell Anna,” Andre suddenly stated.

“But why not? She will be my wife soon. She deserves to know the truth,” I pointed out while still taken aback by his suggestion.

“Think about it Dominic. If you tell Anna about this, it’s going to break her heart and she’ll flip. Remember when her boyfriend in eleventh grade told her that he had cheated? She went nuts on him and made sure she ruined his reputation for the rest of his high school,” I sighed.

As much as Anna was sweet and kind, she could be one hell of a bomb when someone crossed. And who could blame her? That woman had been through hell and not just that, she was the reason I had nightmares before I met married Nicole. Digging into my hair in frustration, I let out an angry sigh. Always trust it to Nicole to ruin anything good in my life.

“Andre I don’t know what to do,” I admitted in defeat.

“I think I know what you should do,” we both turned to find Nicole standing at door looking hot in a red jumpsuit with a matching lipstick and handbag.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” I questioned in shock.

“I’m sorry, last I remember I was your PA and I was never fired. Besides can’t I visit my husband at work?” she sashayed towards me, a smirk that I was beginning to grow on my nerves playing at the edge of her lips.

“It’s really you,” Andre finally muttered in a small voice his face a mask of shock.

“Hello to you too Andre. It’s been long but do you care to give us some privacy? My husband and I have some business to discuss,” she smiled once at him before looking back at me.

I quietly watched Nicole close the door after Andre was gone. Then she walked to the windows, closed the blinds before walking over to me. Dipping down, she delicately brushed the edge of my right ear and I had to shut my lips tight to avoid hissing out loud at the heat invading my body at the contact.

“Now let’s talk,” she whispered in my ear.

“We have nothing to talk about Nicole,” I stated sharply ignoring my increased heartbeat.

“Trust me we do. Dominic, you destroyed my life and now I’m going to make yours hell as well,”

“Are you threatening me?” I asked unbelievably.

“Me? Of course not. I’m just informing you of what is coming,” she smirked.

“Nicole I’m finally in a good spot in my life. I have a fiancée who actually loves me and whatever insanity you are implying, you better shut it off. Now get out of my office Nicole!” I ordered feeling anger rising.

“Sorry, I didn’t realize you were in love- oops sorry. You said she loves you so that means you don’t love her because you are clearly still in love with me but that’s none of my business right? The question is, does the world know what happened at the rehab? Sorry yet again, it was not a rehab as your brother said, it was a correctional facility. Now, I wonder what you would be doing in a correctional facility at the age of fifteen? Rape perhaps?” I felt all the life drain out of me.

How did she find out? That was what impossible.

“Goodbye Dominic,” she pecked my cheek, picked her handbag before sashaying out of my office.
