The Second Love
Upon hearing that, Dominic's face darkened. The expectant look on his face was instantly replaced with anger. He questioned, “Let you go? What do you mean?” While he was enraged, I was extremely calm. I knew that both of us were not meant to be together. It was fate that brought us together. After breaking up twice, I knew that things would not work out between us. Since it won't work, why do we need to continue to suffer like this? I pursed my lips and explained, “We're not suitable for each other. Since we've broken up, we should just let it go.” Dominic instantly roared, “Broken up? I have never agreed to break up with you! What do you mean by saying let it go? Are you going to end the relationship just like that? I won't let that happen!” He grabbed my arms so tight that I gasped in shock. “L-Let go of me for now. It hurts. Let's talk it out, okay?” Dominic ignored me. His eyes were red, and his voice sounded stern. “Talk about what? Breaking up? I... I've already told you what happened. Why are you still insisting on breaking up with me? Is our relationship that vulnerable? Tell me now. What am I to you? Is our relationship nothing to you?” Staring at Dominic, I became anxious. Why... Why is he crying... Tears rolled down his cheeks and started dripping off his face. I had never seen Dominic cry before. I could plainly see his vulnerability and sadness through his expression. At that moment, he slowly loosened his grip. I lifted my hand and wiped the tears on his face. “I... Dominic, we...” I wanted to say that there were too many problems between us. However, I could not utter another word when I saw his face. Dominic looked at me for a while before he pulled my wrist toward him, making me stumble right into his arms. I lifted my head to look at him. The next moment, he lowered his head to kiss me. His hand was pressing the back of my head. I could not push him away when he kissed me domineeringly. My eyes widened in shock. A couple of seconds later, I shut my eyes and put my hands on his back. Whatever. We can never escape the fate of separating anyway. I might as well enjoy this last time with him... When I woke up, I could feel that a person's hand was on me. There was a man lying behind me. I did not turn around, but I knew that it was Dominic. We were not in the private room anymore. At that moment, we were lying in bed in Dominic's condo. I was feeling sore all over my body. In a flash, my mind was filled with inappropriate images and memories from the night before. Feeling the ache in my head, I let out a sigh. I must've lost my mind. What did I do? Are we getting back together? “You're awake?” “Ah... Yes.” I was taken aback by Dominic's voice. “W-What are you doing? Get off!” Before I could come back to my senses, Dominic pinned me under his body. I grabbed the blanket tightly in response. He was staring at me with a look of firmness. “Liliana, don't break up with me. Trust me. We'll be happy together. I will make you happy.” I pursed my lips. Should I agree to it? But, Grandpa... Even though he has cleared the misunderstanding, I can't forget Grandpa, at least not now. “Do you know why Grandpa passed away so abruptly?” Dominic was puzzled when he heard the question. I continued explaining, “Grandpa passed away due to a heart attack. It was because he found out about your engagement with Camille.” Silence instantly engulfed the room. I pushed Dominic away and tried to get out of bed, but the latter pulled me back. “I'm sorry about Grandpa... I didn't know...” I did not turn my head when I responded, “Being sorry is of no use now. Grandpa will never come back. Dominic, do you think that we can still get back together? Even if I don't mind about that, my parents, Lou, and my other relatives won't support this relationship.” Dominic did not say anything. I had told him everything I needed to say.Before I left his place, I stated, “Dominic, I'm leaving now. Goodbye.”
