A Divorce He Regrets (Alissa Nexus) novel Chapter 23

ALEXANDER

What a fool I had been. All this time, blinded by my own arrogance, by my anger. Dominic wasn’t Raina’s lover he was her brother. Her brother

Why didn’t she stop me at the hospital when I lost control and lashed out? Why didn’t she tell me then and there?

The memory of that day resurfaced, sharper now, cutting deeper. Vanessa’s smug face as she handed me those pictures of Raina in another man’s arms. I hadn’t even looked closely at the man’s face. I’d been too consumed by rage, too maily to believe the worst about her.

I sat on the cold floor of Liam’s hospital room, my back against the wall, staring blankly ahead. Liam lay motionless in his bed, hooked up to machines keeping him alive. Guilt clawed at me, relentless and suffocating.

What had I done?

I robbed my son of his mother’s love. I took him from ber, convinced that I was doing the right thing, that I was protecting him. I thought I’d been saving him, but Instead, I’d failed him in the worst way imaginable

But where was she? I had no idea where to find her.

And then I saw her.

I sat there for a moment, fury boiling inside me. How had I been so blind? The resemblance was there, so obvious now. They had the same eyes, the same set to their jaw

I slammed my tist against the dashboard. I’d been played, manipulated by my own family.

I drove aimlessly for a while, the weight of the realization crashing down on me. Dochini wasn’t Raina’s lover–he was her brother. The truth had been staring me in the face all these years, and I had been too blind, too furious to see it.

My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter as my anger surged. Had I really been so blind? The resemblance was there, clear as day. The man in the pictures: vanessa had shown in all those years ago had Raina’s sharp jawline, her piercing eyes. How had 1 dissed it?
