Chapter 44

It was reaching that point in my life where I realised that I may be the cause to my own suffering in some way. Though it may not be entirely direct but it was evident that I had placed myself in situated and settings in which would lead to my suffering when it could have all been easily avoidable.

This evening was a prime example of it. Why on earth I was here, looking like a complete and utter mess when I could have been at home nestled up with my daughter on the couch watching some Disney movie. Instead, here I was crying in the bathroom of the house that was not mine for a long time now and confronted by the man I wished the least to see yet I willingly came to his house.

Was I the idiot?

Perhaps I was. Maybe it was my inability to leave Dante in the past for good and move on truly and whole fully but the more I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that I was not the one at fault here. I was perfectly fine being away from Dante but it was he who chased after me, who refused to leave me alone. He had meddled in my life more than he should and until he had gotten beneath my skin just to get me beneath his b*dy again.

Even now as he stood on front of me in the secluded, constrained space of the bathroom, I couldn’t read his expression at all. What ever little expression his face contorted in when he first stepped in here was now completely gone. His eyes were a glazed mask as was his face.

“You shouldn’t be here.” I croaked then cringed at the sound at my own voice.

“I thought you wouldn’t show up tonight.” He said as he took a step forward. Subsequently, I had taken 2 steps back and away from him.

I sniffed. “Why would I not have attended?” I asked but it was so stupid of me since the answer to that question was literally right in front of both of us.

“Because I know all of this is hard for you, Sophia.” He said in such a calm, gentle… almost pained

tone.

“Hard for me?” I tried to laugh but it caught in my throat when he closed the distance between us in one swift step.

I tried to take create distance between us but my back soon hit the cold tiled wall leaving me trapped between the hard contours of Dante’s chest and the unwavering wall behind me.

“Sophia, I want to tell you that- I held my hand up to silence him but it had only brushed against the front of his crisp white dress shirt.

I felt his muscles tense beneath the thin material and caught his jaw flex. An amber sparked in his orbs igniting a look that I knew all too well yet did not want to see right now.

“There is nothing that you can say to me that would make any difference in any way.” My voice was barely audible because I was suddenly too aware of his presence.

His scent lingered in my nostrils, the heat of him radiated of his b*dy and through my clothes. hearing up my own skin. His eyes dropped from my eyes to my parted l*ps and I could read his

“Perhaps you’re right but-” His face moved a fraction of an inch closer and my breath caught at the back of my throat.

“But?” I pushed, my orbs looked at him through my lashes.
