Chapter 8 -Compromise
Ella
Up until this point of my life, I’ve hated a handful of people. At the moment Mike and Kate are at the top of my list, but they aren’t alone. However Dominic Sinclair is very quickly rising through the ranks and making a play for the top spot. Mike and Kate’s betrayal hurt so much because I cared for them both, but Sinclair might be the first person I’ve encountered who I dislike this strongly after so short a time.
He’s looking me up and down with the bearing of a wolf deciding how to devour the rabbit in its claws, and I realize that’s all I am to him. All those intense looks over the last couple of years, every encounter, every smile – the entire time he’s been thinking I’m some lesser being, the prey to his predator. Maybe he’s like Mike and thought I was a particularly attractive specimen, but in the end they’re the same sort of monster.
“There is no offer you could ever make me that would convince me to give you my child.” I tell him sharply. “I am not for sale, and neither is my baby.”
“Now you’re just being stubborn.” Sinclair sighs, “digging in your heels because you don’t like me.”
“What gave it away?” I deride. For the second time, it seems like he wants to smile despite his better judgment, but again he holds back.
“Use your head, Ella.” He instructs patronizingly. “Let’s say I believe you didn’t do this just to cash in on a big pay day.”
“You obviously don’t!” I interrupt, earning myself a look so stern a shiver runs down my spine.

After all, blood is no guarantee of love – how many kids did I grow up with whose natural parents abandoned or
