Chapter 28
[Dominic]
I was this close...this close to divulging the secret. Damn this lie was costing me a lot. I fiddled with the cufflinks as my mind veered back to the times I have subtly tried to track down Mandy. My lips curved up involuntarily. My Mandy. She has changed. I sighed as I thought about how she had changed from the delicate girl to a woman who has weathered and has seen a lot in her life.
Those good for nothing family of hers had kicked her out! The audacity they had is astounding. But in a way, I guess it was for the good. She wouldn’t want to know their current financial state. Finding her….had been tough. With my busy schedule and fame, I couldn’t track her faster. Now that I did, I am forced to behave like I don’t care for her anymore. This...this pretentious separation was taking a toll on me. These past few days I had gotten enough concerned and worried glances from my staff. They

[Dominic]“Aunt.” I acknowledged with a nod as I stepped into the dressing room. My men discreetly retreated. Even Alex left without another word. The make-up artists were nowhere to be seen. She must have asked them to leave until called.“Have you been waiting for long?” I asked politely. She leaned back on the couch and gave me a long-suffering look which was enough for me to know that it had been long enough for her.“What did you wish to talk about?” I asked without wasting another moment. She sighed, “It has come to my notice that you have not been keeping in touch with Miss Morgan.” My jaw clenched but remained quiet neither denying nor agreeing to her statement.“Dominic, you know very well that if the Morgan Group ventures into a new business with our company then it will be beneficial and this can be do

[Dominic]“She’ll be presenting an award tonight. The best film of the year.” I scowled at the information. Alex did not seem thrilled either. It was almost time for the red carpet and Mandy will be arriving soon. I couldn’t risk her meeting aunt or all will break loose and scatter everywhere. I paced in the small space, unable to decide whether I should just ask her to go back but that would be a bad move.“Should I tell Amanda that…” he began to suggest but I cut him a look. Alex shut his mouth immediately. I shook my head. “It won’t be feasible to tell her and what if she wants to come even after hearing that aunt is here just to spite her?” Alex raised an eyebrow. “Do you think that she will do something like that?” He sounded a little annoyed at my hypothesis. I gave him a questioning look.“I mean you have known her for a long time.

[Amanda]Abandoning my stilettos and my purse somewhere in the room, I stumbled towards the bed. God, I wanted to get piss drunk and just forget everything. I somehow managed to get up and reach the washroom, my makeup had already been ruined by the tears that refused to stop. I was thankful that I didn’t encounter any paparazzi on the way and that my pity party was only witnessed by Mr. Flenn.I unceremoniously grabbed a tissue paper and rubbed my face with it, roughly, haphazardly. I didn’t care if my reflection looked ugly. This incident felt like a deja vu. I should leave and never return to this place then I belatedly realised that I had nowhere to go. I huffed out a humourless laugh, dark and sarcastic. I gripped the marble sink, my tears mixing with the kohl and tons of foundation that still remained on my face. I wiped my face once again, washed it and changed the dress. Throwing the expensive piece of fabric on th

[Amanda]2015…“You have got to be joking,” I groaned into the pillow.“Babe, please try to understand. I have to go to this photoshoot,” Dominic coaxed, his voice dripping with guilt and regret. I sighed, all my earlier enthusiasm drained out after the phone call. We were supposed to leave for our much-awaited weekend outing today. For the past few months, Dominic had been very busy -- going for auditions, doing photoshoots and shooting for a movie. He was hopeful that this might just serve as his big break. I supported him completely, but lately, rumours have started to circulate that the handsome debut actor Dominic Giovanni is reportedly seeing the female lead of the movie.Even though I entered this relationship and married him knowing that this will come as added baggage with his steadily increasing fame, that did not stop me from worrying.

[Amanda]2015…I don’t know for how long I stood there, staring at the photo — my husband passionately kissing another woman and by the looks of it, this wasn’t due to any scene or photoshoot. My hand trembled and all of a sudden I felt like I was being choked. Black spots appeared at the peripheral vision. The photos slipped out of my hands and scattered on the floor again as I tried to breathe. My vision turned blurry. I crumbled on the floor, my knees felt like jelly. I gasped for breath. I was well acquainted with this feeling.I was having a panic attack and I had no one to calm me down. My cheeks were wet with tears and my heart pounded in my chest. What did I expect? That he would stay with me forever? I would have laughed had I not been the one going through this heartbreak. The otherwise silent apartment echoed with my sobs.I sh

[Amanda]My eyes peeled open and the moment they did, I found my blurry vision staring at a white ceiling, the sudden onslaught of lights, hurt my eyes which made me screw them shut immediately. I tried to open my eyes again, a little slowly this time. I could feel a dull ache in my head. Ah, I was drinking last night until I passed out, maybe.“Mandy,” I heard someone calling me from somewhere and belatedly I realised that it was Dominic. I turned my head with some effort. He was sitting by the bedside, looking back at me anxiously.“What-?” I croaked. God, I had a hangover, a nasty one at that. Massaging my temples, I looked at him quizzically. He looked sheepish. I noticed that he was wearing a suit which could be due to two reasons — one, he came back early in the morning after a fun night with his lover or he was here the whole time and returned sometime back in the night. I ruled out the second probabili

[Amanda]“What?” I asked dumbly. My throat suddenly felt tight. Five years, five fucking years. Yes, I knew his aunt was a mighty pain on the backside. Yes, I knew she hated my guts. Yes, I knew she was the one person who wanted Dominic to date any other girl but me. But I cannot imagine that this woman would go to such undignified and low lengths to remove someone from a person’s life.I could see that Dominic was regarding me with a grim expression. His eyes were cautious and filled with anticipation. He nodded. “I....came to know about her...hand in our divorce a lot later. After we...separated...maybe a year and a half later.” To think that my family was the only fucked up family in town would be an understatement. His aunt was sick. “How?” the monosyllabic queries were all that I could utter. Still processing the piece of information. He lowered his gaze. “Trust me,

[Dominic]I closed my eyes and buried my face in my palms. A groan left my lips unbidden. Last night, when I saw Mandy, lying still and limp, I had decided that keeping up the charade would only lead to more misunderstanding and the eventually will swirl and morph into something ugly. I didn’t want that. I only wanted to prove my innocence to the woman I loved. The only woman I will ever love.In the past, I had planned the way I would break the news to her. The proofs I would have ready for her to see. But when does life happen according to the way you plan? Never. Even back when my marriage was falling apart, something I had never imagined in my wildest dream, I had no way of stopping it.Before finding her again, I had always tried to mentally prepare myself that even if she stops loving me, even if she moves on or refuses to believe me then I would let her go. But after getting her
