The Billionaire Wants Me Back |18+|

What now?

Kira looked between the two of them with wide eyes.

She furrowed her eyebrows together, "what the hell?"

"You heard me," Dominic groaned, "get the fuck out of here."

Ivy tried to pull free from his hold but his grip around her wrist tightened, "Kira, I'm not going to repeat myself."

"Look, I don't want to be a cause for argument between you and your wife," Ivy shook her head fast.

"She's not my wife anymore, at least soon, we are in the middle of processing the divorce."

Ivy was surprised, staring at him in shock.

Kira shifted her lips into a pout, "Dominic I came running here as fast as I could once the hospital called me, why can't we just put things aside and settle our differences?"

"Settle our differences? You fucked my best friend, got pregnant for him and you have the guts to call that 'differences', I can't believe this right now."

Ivy took the news with shock.

Kira turned to look at Ivy, "this is all your fault my husband's speaking to me this way and I'll make sure you pay," with that, she turned to leave, taking the little girl with her.

"I'm sorry Ivy, I tried to-" he started to say, trailing off as he winced from the pain on his sides.

"Stop trying to talk," she sat next to him, "what the hell was that about?"

Dominic sighed, taking a deep breath in, "I tried to tell you but I couldn't. The main reason I kept our relationship hidden was because right from when we were eighteen, my parents and Kira's parents made an agreement where they would continue a business relationship by getting us married when the time was right."

"What?!" Ivy widened her eyes, unsure she had heard him right.

"They signed a contract and so did we, I couldn't help it when I started to have feelings for you but I couldn't call the wedding off, I tried to hold back but you were just too good and I fell deeply in love, I always knew I would have to face the wedding, I had to stay silent because of the contract but if I hadn't let you go, there's no telling what they would have done to get rid of you, that's why I kept us a secret to be safe."

Ivy didn't know the right way to react, there was just so much to take in at the moment.

"You should have let me know at least," she finally managed to say.

"I couldn't, I would rather have you hate me than suffer for my sake."

He bowed his head a little, "our entire marriage was hell for me, not a day passed when I wasn't thinking about you Ivy, not a day, and to make things worse," he looked up to meet her gaze, "Kira got pregnant, when I never slept with her once! And I found out my fucking best friend, John was responsible for the pregnancy, I couldn't -"

"John? The same John?!"

Dom nodded, "that's why I hated it when I saw you with him, I had no choice but to still live with her, but now I'm processing the divorce, without telling any of the families."

Ivy's eyes welled with tears, "I had to suffer all these years, and this is what you kept from me?"

He leaned in to cup her cheeks, "I wished I could tell you the truth, I'm really sorry."

"I don't know what to say Dom," she confessed.

"I don't need you to say anything," he closed in on her a little, taking both her hands in his and giving her a gentle squeeze, "I just want you Ivy, and I'm done, I don't care about the repercussions anymore, I just-" he winced again.

"That's enough Dominic, stop talking, you know it's not helpful for you in any way," she got to her feet, "I'll go get the nurse."

As Ivy headed out of his hospital room, the only thing ringing in her head was the news he had just told her.

She wrapped her arms around herself, goosebumps coating her all of a sudden.

She found the nearest nurse and turned to her, "when can he head back?"

"We'll monitor the situation until morning, if things are okay then he can be sent home," the nurse explained.

Relief washed over her and then she headed back to the hospital room to share the good news with him but he was asleep when she returned.

She sighed, stroking her fingers through his hair, "you must have suffered just as much as I did, and you had no one to tell," she was on the verge of crying. All those years she'd raised her son alone, thinking Dominic had betrayed her.

"Where do we even start from?" She wondered.

It wasn't long after, before she easily fell asleep next to him.

The next morning, it was time to head back to the hotel, Ivy signed all the necessary documents and he was sent to be discharged from the hospital.

Ivy had waved a taxi over, taking him to the hotel.

"I'm not crippled Ivy, I can walk," he teased her once they got into the elevator and she tried to lean his heavy weight on her body.

She ignored him, guiding his every step as though she expected him to tumble over eventually.

She finally guided him into his room, setting him on the bed.

He sat on the edge watching her as she started to rant, "we need to make sure everything is okay in here for you from the temperature to the food and the..."

"It's so nice to see you caring like this for me Ivy," he had a wide smile on his face.

"It was my fault you got in that accident anyway..."

She trailed off as he yanked her wrist, pulling her with him as he fell backwards to lay flat on his back, so she was lying on his chest.

He reduced his voice to a whisper, "what now, Ivy?"

She held her breath. She'd been trying to avoid bringing up last night's conversation.

She shrugged one shoulder, looking into his eyes, maintaining the same whisper tone, "what now?"

They stared at each other silently for a moment before Dominic moved his hand from her waist to her ass, squeezing them gently before guiding her hand to his erection between his pants.

"I've been punished enough, Ivy..." He said, staring at her lips, before trailing his eyes to her boobs threatening to spill in that dress.

He slipped the dress down with one finger, causing her tits to fall free on his chest.

She let out a muffled moan as her hard nips grazed his chest before lowering her head to cover his mouth with hers.
