Domnic's POV


Out of no where, Jocelyn gasped then she started to choke on her water. She stood up, excused herself from the table and was leaving for the restroom. Being concerned, I left with her, showing her where the restroom is. When she came out, she looked kind of nervous.

Placing my hand at her back and guiding her to the side where we could talk privately. "Thickness, are you alright? What's wrong baby?" I asked being more concerned when she jumped at my touch. When she realized it was me, she grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to her. I could tell, now, that she was scared. Her hands were even shaking. "Baby, what is it?" I asked again. She took a deep breath trying to control her nerves before saying, "I'm sorry to scare you baby. It's just that Marcus had put his hand on my leg when he sat down. It just brought back some old memories that I don't want to think about." "What kind of old memories? Baby, tell me he didn't hurt you when you were married?" I asked hoping that the answer was no. When she turned her head away from me, I knew that I was gonna kill me a M.F.!!

Before I knew it, I was walking back towards the dining room to kick his ass like I should have the first time when I was in his office. But Jocelyn caught up to me and begged me not to do anything. "And why the fuck shouldn't I go right in there and fuck him up? This punk put his hands on you, baby. He disrespected you and me. You were scared out your mind when I touched you until you realized that it was me. Give me one dam reason why I shouldn't go in there and fuck him up!" I said low, trying not to bring any attention to our conversation. "Because, that's what he want. He's only trying to get under my skin to make me look bad in front of your parents. Plus, I know what he's capable of when he's angry. Remember the texts from earlier? They want to cause an inappropriate scene in front of your parents." she said trying to get me to see reason. "If you want this to work,then we have to play their game.... for now. We're gonna have to fake it to make it." she said, still trying to calm me down.



Jocelyn's POV


After I got Domnic, some what calmed down, he asked me, "What did you mean when you said that you know what he's capable of when he's angry? Is there something I should know?"

I wasn't sure how to answer him. How can I tell Domnic that I'm afraid for his life. I saw the look in Marcus' eyes tonight. He will do something to hurt Domnic if I don't break up with him, soon. I need to put as much distance between Domnic and myself while Domnic is still in Canada. Starting to think again about this plan and actually being with Domnic all together. I won't be able to live with myself if Domnic is hurt because of me.

Taking his hand, I was about to answer Domnic when the door to the dinning room opened up and Alex was coming out with Marcus behind her. A waiter walked up behind me and asked if I was Jocelyn Smith. I knew why he'd asked since I called a cab while I was in the restroom. I have to play this right. Especially while they are watching us.

Snatching my hand out of Domnic's hand, I answered the waiter. "Yes, I'm Jocelyn. Is the cab waiting for me?" "Yes mam." he answered before walking off.   Looking over Domnic's shoulder, a tear started to roll down as I stared at Marcus while speaking to Domnic.   "Domnic, I'm sorry, but I need to leave.   I don't think that this will work between us.   There are too many issues coming between the 2 of us.   I think that Alex will be a better choice for you and the family.   The 2 of us being together was, perfect, while it lasted.   I will not be at the festivities this week for the graduates nor will I be at the graduation.   I hope that you will have a prosperous life back at home.   I have turned in my notice at the school effective immediately, so I will not see you after tonight.   Actually I have gotten another job and I leave shortly for it.   I know that you have questions for me about the sudden change of things but please.... don't pursue this anymore.   I am doing this because I do......care for you and I am willing to give up what I care about so that you will be happy.   I know that you may be upset with me but please.... forgive me."    When I finished, the distraught look on Domnic's face was killing me.   I walked up to him and placed my hands on those perfect arms that held me just a few minutes ago and whispered in his ear, "They're behind you listening, check your phone after the dinner."   Then I gently placed a kiss on his earlobe, barely whispering  "I love you." before walking off to the cab.

Alex POV

Marcus and I have walked in on Domnic and Jocelyn having a moment.   She looked at Marcus and the panic in her eyes was priceless.   Maybe Marcus did get through to her.  I wonder what he said to her to get that look in her eyes.   Well, whatever it was helped me out tremendously.   The only thing that I have to do now is to convince Domnic to marry me instead.   After hearing what she said to Domnic, made my job less stressful.   Everything from here on out should be smooth sailing.   Now, I can just focus on Domnic and reconnecting with him.   I know that he will be upset for a while but that's what I'm here for.   To be that shoulder that he will need to lean on.   I know that I already have his father on my side, but that mother of his is a issue.   I noticed how she followed Jocelyn's every word.   She might even try to get Domnic and Jocelyn back together.   I wont let that happen though.   I'll just have to do whatever I have to until that ring is on my finger.   Then my father and I can take over the business.

Marcus  POV

Alex and I have walked in on Jocelyn and Domnic with their so called moment.   The way that Jocelyn looked at me with fear proved to me that my text got through to her.   She remembers what I did to the last man that tried to get  her attention.   Though Jocelyn don't have any proof what I did, she was able to get a fucking restraining order against me.   I could go to jail right now if she was to call the cops.   But I think that she knows that if she did that, I will hurt pretty boy over there.   After telling him that they basically over, she leaned in to kiss him on his ear.   I didn't like that at all.   But I will giver her that one.   At least they're breaking up.   I'll give her some time to calm down after this.   When he graduates and leaves town, I will go get what's mine.   Until then, I'll see if I can get a little thank you present from Alex while she is in town.
