chapter Twenty-two
EMMA’S POV
I was coming out of my room when I saw Cecilia coming out of Xavier’s room.
“What are you doing?”
“Hey, you ready?”
“I asked you a question.”
“Whoa chill out sis. I was just making sure your new maid didn’t try anything funny as she was so concerned about your husband.”
“That’s none of your concern Cecilia.”
“Are you kidding me right now? She was flirting with your HUSBAND.”
God I don’t want to do this again… one minute he’s an ass and another she’s concerned what he’s doing!
“I know he is, but that doesn’t give you the right either. Let him cheat if he wants to, I don’t care and I’m sick and tired of being yelled as so stop it. This will just give me more of a reason not to love him and maybe I can live with what’s happening.”
“Wait… Are you saying you’re just going to let him do whatever?”
“So you’re just going to let him? You’re not even going to leave him or anything? What about Antonio?”
“What about him?”
“You love him.”
I rolled my eyes
“And when have I EVER said that?”
“But…”
“But what? Antonio is nothing but a great friend and besides he deserves someone who can love him and I don’t.”
“That’s not true.”
“Yes it is! Look, I get what you’re trying to do, but let’s face it I’m going to do what I want to do.”
“Antonio loves you Emma and I can see the way your eyes sparkle when you see him.”
“So what? He’s half way across the world anyway!”
“Not if you want him to be!”
“Stop it Cecilia, just STOP IT! I’m not doing it so just STOP IT!”
As much as I would like to think that it could be a possibility, it wasn’t. I felt something for him, but he wasn’t my mate or the father of my baby even if it would have been easier if he was.
“FINE!”
She left with a huff and I went down to the living room, sitting down. I needed to calm down and breathe, so I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the trying to get the baby to stop kicking. It wasn’t until I felt his hands on my belly that she stopped and at the same time making my wolf whimper, causing me to start crying.
“I know this isn’t easy, but please give me another chance. We can start all over from the beginning and get to know each other like we should have done before any of this happened.”
“It’s not that easy.”
“Look at me Emma.”
He ran his hand over my cheek and I cried even more.
“Please baby look at me.”
I slowly opened my eyes and met his as he knelt down between my legs and kissed my stomach.
“We’re having a baby girl Em, the least we can do for her is try.”
“What if it’s not yours?”
