“We’re just so glad you're back to your senses now. You’ve been as loyal as a dog, patiently waiting for him to give you just a fraction of his attention for seven years. Enough is enough, Joceleyn,” my mother commented before wrapping her arms around me in a loving embrace.
It was enough to keep my tears at bay. I had been so stupidly in love with Dante for years, and the more I thought about it, the sadder I felt for myself.
As though Dante could sense what was happening in my parent’s home, he mindlinked me, “Jocelyn, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me and just see me for dinner tonight. I have called everyone including myself and Gabriella to come apologize to you.”
For moments, I kept quiet until a wicked thought clouded my senses.
“Okay, but you only get this one chance.”
That night, I got ready, doing my hair and makeup as best as I could knowing that this night had no choice but to go in my favour.
Walking into the restaurant Dante picked, I was happy to see everyone present, those who supported Gabriella’s and Dante’s relationship including his Beta, Alex, and the stars of the show, Gabriella and Dante themselves.
But one person was missing.
