Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 21

My legs dragged me streets away from where the restaurant had been until they hurt enough for me to stop. It didn’t help that I had heels on. In the end, I was too fatiqued to walk back to the restaurant and instead I gave up and sat on the cold sideway beneath the clear, full moon.

If the moon had any thing to do with mood and temprement of man then this was a reasonable explanation as to where Adams proposal had come from. Ugh, thinking about his face had brought a twinge of guilt biting at my conscience.

Adam had been there for me when I needed him the most, when I literally had no one else by my side, he was my supper system in my darkest times. It isn’t like I didn’t care for him. I did. A lot but I just am not ready for such a step

Even if I was, I would be doing him a great disservice considering my mind was still very torn between the way I felt for Dante or what I felt for him after all this time. It would be naive of me to think that seeing him again wasn’t going to bring about any old feelings. It didn’t help that Dante kept himself present in my life since I returned. It all made for a very contradictory situation.

Why was my life always complicated? Just when I thought I had it under control and found some sense of direction, the rug was pulled from beneath my feel throwing me off balance all over again.

I felt a trickle of tears over my cheeks and I wiped them away with the back of my hand, blinking away any others that threatened to follow. A part of me felt like I had jeopardized my entire relationship with Adam and I didn’t know if he would understand my view point

A set of footsteps approached me but I didn’t look up not wanting to deal with Adam right now. What was I going to say to him? Would he even forget the humiliation he faced in that restaurant?

“Go away, Adam. I’m not in the mood to discuss what happened in there.” I sniffled, ignoring how strained and shaky my voice had become.

The footsteps didn’t retreat but moved slowly closer to me until he settled on to the side wall next to me. Just one whiff of that cologne and I knew that it was not Adam who had come to find me.

“Dante?” I said in surprise as I looked at him for a brief moment before looking back at the rough tarred road.

“That’s better than Mr. Crawford. I think we’re making progress. He said in a jovial tone that made me chuckle lightly.

“Please, I don’t want to laugh right now.” My shoulders slumped in defeat since I didn’t know what I wanted right now.

“Then don’t but I’m not going to leave you alone in the middle of a dark, quiet road all by yourself.” He said authoratively causing me to tilt my head and look at him.

Was he the same Dante that I had know? The very same one that kicked me out of his life for my step sister with out so much as a care in the world yet here he was trying to be my protector and shoulder to cry on.

I scoffed, bringing my knees to my chest and resting my chin atop of it. “I can’t imagine Phoebe is
