A Divorce He Regrets (Alissa Nexus) novel Chapter 160

I didn't answer him. I was looking at Faith, who was already heading for me. She flung her arms around me, clinging tightly to me, her body shaking against mine.

"Faith," I whispered, holding her close. Her eyes were all red and puffy, her skin deathly pale. She had been crying for ages. My heart broke seeing her like that.

I bent to kiss her forehead, pulled back a little to look at her. "I'm sorry," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "Something happened."

Her hold on me tightened as she looked up, searching my face for answers. "What do you mean?" she asked, barely above a whisper.

I sat her down, my hands shaking a little as I tried to compose myself. "Faith," I said, my voice barely above a whisper, "do you want to talk in private? I—"

She shook her head, eyes still red from crying. "No, Dom. Everyone's been worried. They should know too."

I swallowed hard, nodded, and looked around the room. Alex leaned against the wall, his arms crossed, his face unreadable. Raina was sitting stiffly, her eyes narrowing in suspicion. Faith's hands clutched each other tightly in her lap. My heart felt like it was going to pound out of my chest.

I took a deep breath and began, "I don't know how this happened." I admitted. "But I woke up in bed with Eliza beside me."

The room exploded. Faith gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. Raina shot to her feet, pointing an accusing finger at me. "What the fuck, Dom? Are you serious? After everything?"

But Alex said nothing. His eyes bored into mine, piercing, as if judging my every word.
