Chapter 25

Dominic

It’s been a while since I started keeping Frank posted on all I’m doing now. At first, I didn’t mind because I assumed he just wanted to make sure everything was in place when I got to the hospital. Now that I think about it, the calls have been too frequent

Only a few minutes after sending him a text that I’ll soon be arriving with Vanessa, he calls me again.

av to me.

“What is it this time?” I shake my head before even hearing what he has to say i

“Where exactly are you?” he asks from the other end of the line.

“We just left the toy store.”

“Great, so how long will it take for you to get here?”

I lean back with a sigh. “I already told you it would be around fifteen minutes. You even know this. Why do you keep asking? Is everything okay over there?”

I instantly sit up more with wide eyes. “What did you say?”

The tone of my voice is so loud that it makes Vanessa widen her eyes at me. She probably thinks something happened. I dismissively motion her with my hand to relax and she sighs with relief.

“What did I tell you about the press?” I rub my temples.

“Honestly, I can’t even count them, but they’re waiting for you two. They’re taking this seriously because it’s actually a big deal.”

“Unbelievable.” I clench my fist, annoyed. “I don’t want to deal with this right now.”

“Again, it wasn’t me. However, n

now that I think about it, this is a good thing for your public image.”

“You know that’s not the reason I do any of this.

“I know, neither do I, but hey, since they’re already here, you might as well make the most out of the opportunity, Remember what it is you’re trying to do here.”

Thinking about my parents being so proud to see me and Vanessa on the front pages of the largest news sites makes me embrace the idea a little more and I sigh deeply.

“Fine. Let’s do it.”

After I end the call, I toss the phone aside and look over at Vanessa, who’s been glancing at me the whole time.
