She was lost and so was he.
Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one.
Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as...

I give a small twirl in the mirror as I look over the dress that holds onto me. It was a cowl neck velvet dress in navy blue. I saw it one day at the store and it looked so much like that of Dominic's eyes that I thought it would be perfect. It would have matched the lingerie set that I was supposed to be wearing under here.

I wasn't sure if I should still wear it but I was hoping that Dominic would show up.
I chew at my lip continuing to stare at the tight material. It was gorgeous. It looked amazing. Even after leaving Nicholas, I kept my body in the shape that he put me in. I made sure I went to the gym and instead of putting on more fat I built some muscle. Through it all Dominic always reminded me that I was beautiful.
He built my confidence up even with it laying shattered on the ground with my mind still sitting in that cell that Nicholas kept me in. Dominic showed me that even with flaws he still saw me as something beautiful that he wanted to always look at. It made me feel all bubbly and soft.
Without his encouragement I don't think I wouldn't have been able to smile in the mirror looking over my body in all that I knew it was. I felt pretty.
I clip half my hair up letting the rest of my waves simply stay. I sit in my vanity and begin my makeup. A small smile stays on my face as I do so. I used to always have to use makeup to cover up scars and bruises of sorts but lately they've healed over time. Now I could do my makeup for fun.
It was nice for a change.
Whoever says girls take longer to get ready have not met Luca. Even after I was all done he made me wait for an extra half an hour because his hair wasn't sitting right. And he started getting ready before me. Thankfully he had shaved his funny ass beard. It was more Luca and god was I happy to have the beard gone.
The drive there is silent and I can't help the bundle of nerves knotted in my stomach. Luca tried to figure out why but I stayed quiet looking out the window. I take calming breaths trying to think of anything else other than seeing Dominic.
I wanted to see him again. I wanted to make things right.
I glanced over at Luca who looked so carefree. I wondered what his reaction to Dominic would be. Out of all my brothers he was the closest to Dominic since we all hung out together. I pray that he'll be on our side. I hope he understands why I kept it a secret.
