Chapter Eighteen

Dominic waited for the front door to open. He was anxious to get this first meeting over with because he’d been such a bastard the last time he saw her.

“I’m here to see Aria,” he said. “I’m her son, Dominic.”

“Come in. I’ll go get her,” one of the guards said.

Dominic stood and looked around. It looked a little different than it did the night of the party, and the next morning he hadn’t paid attention to anything.

“Dominic.”

He turned to face his beautiful mother. “Hello.” She was in a stylish dress and high heels. Her hair was up in an elaborate bun. He couldn’t believe she was old enough to be his mother.

He could see the emotion she was trying to hide in her eyes. She was an extremely strong woman, and he felt proud to call her his mother.

“Can I help you with anything, hon—Dominic?”

He felt like an ass when he yelled at her when she called him honey that night.

“Can we go somewhere private?” he asked.

“Of course. Come with me. We’ll go into my office.”

He followed behind her and shut the door. She walked around the desk as if to protect herself from him, making him feel worse.

“I wanted to apologize for my behavior a few weeks ago,” he said. He saw the surprise and then happiness on her face.

“I understand. It was a lot to take in.”

“May I sit?” he asked and indicated a chair in front of her desk.

“Oh, yes, please.” She sat down in her chair.

He got comfortable. “I’ve got a lot of questions.”

“I’ll answer anything to the best of my ability, honey.”

“I know.” He studied her for a moment. “I wish things had been different. I wish I knew about you guys a lot sooner.”

She nodded as her eyes glazed over with tears that she fought back. “Me, too. I mourned you for over twenty years.”

As sad as it was, he liked hearing the loss of him affected her that deeply.

“Did you know I have a lounge here in town, and I’m renovating another one?”

Aria smiled. “Yes, Trent told me that. I’m so proud of you.”

“I’d understand if you don’t feel comfortable after the way I acted, but I’d like to start helping you and the men with the business.”

He watched her eyes widen, and then a huge smile crossed her face. “Oh, my, I’ve dreamed of this since I first saw you. Of course, we would love to have you. We always need help with things, especially when we’re still closing down the human trafficking side. It’s taking a lot more time than anyone thought it would.”

Dominic gritted his teeth in disgust. “Fuck, I still can’t believe that bastard was into that. It really shouldn’t surprise me. The man was a first-class monster.”

“That’s one thing to call him,” she said and smiled. “Would you ever consider living here with us?”

“That’s something I also need to talk to you about.” He told her about what happened with Rebeka and how they got her out of the situation.
