Chapter 57

• ~Dante’s POV~
• Lola has left, and she is now somewhere outside of New York City. She is currently in Ozark. I don’t really know what went down at that party. I went out to make a phone call, and when I came back inside the house, she was already leaving. After everything that happened that day, she approached me with the proposal of ending our marriage. It seems like even the universe is against us. I am aware that we argue every time she is in the house, but I miss seeing her sneak around the house in an attempt to make herself something to eat while she is avoiding me. The house seemed so much emptier without her. The children will not stop asking about their mother, so I have no choice but to lie to them about where she is. I hate lying to them, especially with Kai and Tyler seeing through my lies. I don’t know why those two boys behave like adults. They miss their mother, and I miss her, too. Strange, I know, but the idea of seeing her and my kids under the same roof appeals to me, a sad reminder of what could have been if she trusted me and told me she was pregnant.
• Fuck, I miss her. She’s been back in my life for eight good months, and I’m already hooked on what could have been all over again. I just can’t see past her betrayal. Since she was gone, I attempted to call her to explain what had happened, but her phone was turned off. I heard a light knock on the door.
