CHAPTER TEN

Alexis

I’d never cried like this before. I’d never felt every part of my body hurt like this as it shook and heaved as I wept. I’d never felt devastation, hopelessness, and loneliness all at once like this before.

“How could he?” I tried to understand how the man I loved had the heart to do this—and to do it spitefully in front of me. I’d thought he had changed. I’d thought he cared about me. I’d thought he had loved me. But when I’d seen the way he had taunted me with the blonde in his arms, my image of who I’d thought he was shattered into a million pieces along with my heart.

My hands moved to my stomach as I worried about the future of this unborn child. “What am I going to do? He’s not ready to be a father. Can I get through everything on my own?”

I knew the answer to my last question. It was a no. I wasn’t sure I could face everything on my own. I knew I needed Damian to be there for me.

But he’s not there for you. Fresh tears fell down my face at this thought.

Just then, there was a knock at my door. I tried to wipe away the tears from my face as I walked to the door. When I opened the door and saw who was on the other side, my heart stilled.

It was Damian.

“Alex, I’m so sorry. I really fucked up.” I saw a fresh bruise on his face and the pain in his eyes, and I fought back the urge to sink into his arms and believe that everything would be okay.

“I don’t want to see you.” My voice shook as I spoke. “You really hurt me.” I halfheartedly pushed the door closed and turned to walk away.

He blocked the door and followed me inside. “Please, Alex. I know I’ve hurt you. I…I was just going out of my mind. I thought you were cheating on me. Nothing happened with the blonde! I swear! I just wanted to upset you because…I was upset.”

I turned back to him, surprised at his words. “What do you mean, nothing happened?!”

He walked over to me. “Baby, I thought you had cheated on me, so when I texted you to come down and see me, I purposely got that girl to pretend like she had gone down on me in front of you, but she didn’t. Nothing happened. I just wanted to make you jealous… I wanted to inflict the same pain on you that I had been feeling.”

As I took in his words, he pulled me into his arms. “I’m sorry,” he whispered in my ear. I pushed him away and smacked him across the face with every ounce of strength I had.

I gasped in surprised at what I had just done. From the look in his eyes, he was surprised too.

“Did that feel good?” he asked and gave me a boyish grin.

I couldn’t help but smile. “Yes. That helped a little.
