After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Montana

I woke up the next morning and looked around the whole room but Dominic was nowhere in sight, I was sad and hurt I wanted to wake up beside him this morning but it turned out he already left, I came down from the bed and wore my flip-flop, I was about to go to the bathroom when I caught his back view. He was leaning on the rails standing on the balcony

I smiled happily and slowly walked up to him, I wrapped my arms around him from the back and laid my head on his large back.

“You’re awake” Came his voice and he turned around and cupped,Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Good morning, I thought you left” I pouted sadly, he smiled and stole a kiss from my pouty lips,

“You look so beautiful” He complimented as he tucked some fallen strands of my hair behind my ear,

“You too, you look so handsome,” I said looking into his eyes,

“That’s because I have the best woman ever” I laughed lightly and just laid my head on his chest, feeling comforted as I listened to the rhythm of his heart, his heart beat so fast, could it be because he was with me?

I pulled back and looked at his face,

“Your heart beat so fast”

“That’s because it’s you pumpkin,” He said and flicked my nose playfully”

I noticed he was in thought when I met him this morning I already knew it might be his father, but then there has always been something bothering me, I have never seen or heard Dominic talking about his mother making me wonder if he’s mother is alive or dead, honestly I don’t really know much about Dominic, he’s lifestyle is conserved or should I say rather secretive and I totally understand cause his dad is a mafioso but I think right now our relationship is more defined unlike before and I think I should start knowing him better cause it will help the both of us understand ourselves the more

“Dom?” I called making him look at me

“I want to ask you something private, can I?”

“Hmmm” He nodded urging me to go on

“It’s about your mother…. I haven’t seen you talking about her before”

His hand fell from my face immediately and he turned and leaned his arms on the rails like he was before I walked in

“Did I say something wrong?”

“No, my pumpkin just that I don’t like talking about my mother”

“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it now, you can tell me later when you’re more comfortable” I smiled, and stood beside him, after some minutes of silence…….

“My mother left me and my dad when I was four years old”

I didn’t know if I should hug him or cry, I didn’t even know what to say. I can imagine how hard it was for him to grow up without a mother, for fuck sake he was just four years old back then

“You know I used to think my father was the problem, but recently I learned she left my dad because we had nothing back then, she left and got married to someone richer, I guess that was more reason why dad joined the mafia to become powerful and rich. I think my mother’s actions hurt my father so much, but you know the worst … all these years she never looked for us, not even me, her son. And then I realized she must have had kids for her new husband and probably forgotten about me and my father. I just hate her so much and wished to never see her again, she’s the worst mother anyone would ever wish to have,”

I didn’t know I was crying till my tears dropped on my hand, this is the first time I’m seeing Dom so emotional and I could tell that he still yearns for motherly love,

”Come here” I pulled him into my embrace hugging him so freaking right.

“It’s okay,” I said, patting his back.
