He stood with his back to the car, a cigarette burning in his hand.
Snow fell white, only the black car and him wearing a mysterious black cardigan. He smoked a cigarette in his hand, the light from the cigarette flickering in the night making me see his face clearly.
He was looking up at my window. At such a distance, I couldn't tell what kind of thoughts he had in his eyes.
For a moment, my heart skipped a beat. I turned around and hurriedly hid behind the curtain. I don't even understand why I have to do this. Apparently my room turned off the lights, I om, not sure if he saw me. But even if he saw me, I wouldn't have to hide, would I?
I bit my lip, put my hand on my left chest, then looked out the window and down.
Dominic is no longer looking at me. He is on the phone.
A thought flashed through my head. I rushed to the bed and reached for the phone.
At this moment, the phone rang and I pressed the mute button. Veronica lay on the bed, frowning a little, turned over, pulled the blanket up and continued to sleep. I breathed a sigh of relief then left the bedroom.
The phone ringing stopped.
A few seconds later, another call came to my phone. I decided to pick up the phone, pretending to speak in a sleepy voice.
"Hello?"
"Get down here."
"Huh? What?"
"Don't pretend, I know you're not asleep. Come down here. I want to see you."
Five minutes later, I put on a light jacket and stood in front of Dominic. He looked at me intently, then brushed the white flakes off the top of my head. Seeing me crouch and exhale cold air continuously, Dominic took off his jacket and was about to put it on me.
"No need. Let's talk quickly and I'll go inside."
Dominic's movements did not stop because of my resistance. He still put his coat on my shoulders, then gave me his gloves. Men's leather gloves when worn on a woman's soft and petite hands don't really feel right, like a combination of strength and fragility. His gloves remained between his warmth and passed on to me.
"Why did you suddenly come here today?"
Actually, at first I was going to ask why he knew I was here and came to me, but I realized that he is the most powerful billionaire in this city. It was too easy for him to find me.
"It's not that I suddenly came today, but I come here every day."
His words in this quiet space suddenly became quieter than usual. Several snowflakes settled on his eyelids, forming a thin layer of ice. He looked at me with such hot eyes that I panicked and looked away and didn't dare to look at him anymore.
I've told myself a thousand times not to let love rule my thoughts, but every time I look at him, all the reminders are in vain.
Seeing that I didn't answer, Dominic didn't show any emotion either. He approached me and hugged me. I stood still for a few seconds, then pushed his shoulder blades away. We still haven't resolved our disagreement, and I haven't received an apology. Even though the warmth of his body captivated me, I couldn't allow myself to soften.
"Hold still, don't move. Let me hold you for a while." Dominic tightened his grip, his chin resting on my shoulder. "I miss you."
Just that word was enough to make my heart flutter. I couldn't resist the sweetness and tenderness from him, from the man I loved. He's like a drug that once I try it, I can't get rid of it.
We stayed in that hug and talked.
"I heard about the engagement. Why didn't you tell me first?"
"Sooner or later, you'll know."
"But I never said I agreed."
"You will. I know you will." His hand was on my left breast, a thick layer of clothing but I could still feel the emotion in his hand. "It can't lie."
He is talking about my heart. More than anyone else, he understood my feelings through every look and gesture. Someone once said that the person who loves more will suffer more. Maybe I am that person.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you back to Joan's mansion."
"How do you know I'm going back to Joan's family?" I fidgeted and pulled away from his warm embrace, looking at him suspiciously.
"There's nothing about you that I don't know about."
"But..."
"All right. Honey, go back to sleep. It's snowing heavily."
Dominic got into the car without taking back his coat and handkerchief.
"Is that all you wanted to say?" I told Theo as he was about to get in the car and leave. "Did you come to see me just to say these words?"
"...I told you. I miss you." Pausing for a moment, Dominic continued. "Sorry, don't wait to find out what you want from me. I can't give it to you."
"Why? It's just a secret, is it hard to tell?"
I burst into tears, my tears fading and my pent-up inhibitions made my mood uncontrollable once again.
"Don't cry, it will hurt to see you like that." Dominic wiped my tears but I shoved his hand away.
He sighed, looking up at the night sky. But white snowflakes still fall. He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke. After saying that, he got in the car and left.
I stood there for a long time, until the cold penetrated my body and made me shiver, then I slowly returned to the house. He said: Sometimes I give you freedom to make you happy, but if you are too stubborn, I will cut off your wings of freedom.
I yanked off his gloves and threw them on the ground, then sat down on the floor and hugged my face. I should have known he was a dominant and possessive person.
Once he wants to possess something, he will definitely not let go, no matter what.
It's not love, it's just Dominic's crazy possessiveness. It's true what he said, I am a bird in his cage, if he allows me to fly, I can fly, but if I resist, he will cut off my little wings. .
Realizing this makes me afraid of Dominic, my love for him is not enough to make me forget this.
When I went back to the bedroom, I didn't know when Veronica was awake. She sat on the bed and looked at me with worried eyes.
