Chapter 109: YOU ARE MY CHOICE
"Take care, brother," he said before leaving.
So, I set out in search of the only certainty and happiness I had in life... In pursuit of my foundation and downfall, my stubborn woman!
With all the hustle and planning to go to France, I didn't have much contact with Davina and I hope she forgives me for this. But it was all for a good cause. I want to make a surprise, so I found a way to contact Yara to help me with this plan.
The call begins...
"What's the honor of this call, or have you done something mischievous?" Yara joked from the other side of the line.
I laughed at her playful tone.
"You two were truly made for each other," I commented. She stayed quiet, so I continued...
"I need your help!" I proceeded.
"Hmm, with what exactly?" she sounded curious.
So I told her the whole plan, and she agreed almost immediately. Before we hung up, I added:
"Just one more thing."
"Yes, sir?"
"I'd like to know if you truly love Micael?"
She sighed before breaking the silence.
"Without a doubt, he's the love of my life."
"Why aren't you two keeping in touch?"
"Because it would be difficult to stay away from him... I'm not doing this just for myself, I'm doing it for us!" She paused. - "I hope he forgives me someday."
"Love always prevails."
"I like this new version of Dom, all mushy!"
"Hunf."
"Mhm, keep denying... hahaha" - Yara enjoyed herself.
"Yara, don't lose him... Micael isn't perfect, he has a past, he's been through a lot, and he loves you!"
"I know. I assure you everything I'm doing is for our own good."
"I believe in you."
"Thank you. So, let's get to the execution of the plans!"
And that's how we ended the call. I finalized the last details with Micael and went away to find her, or perhaps... to find myself and feel whole again!
Arriving at the address provided by Yara, the beach unveiled itself before Davina's eyes. Numerous boats were anchored by the seashore, painting a picturesque scene. Her cellphone vibrates, a message appears:
Received message...
"Follow the lights and enjoy the night, Souer, I love you!"
Message viewed...
A trail of pink lanterns extended over a wooden platform, leading to the last boat in the row. At the end of this illuminated path, she spotted him.
A nervous tingling ran through Davina's stomach, her incredulous eyes fixed on the imposing figure awaiting her. It was Dom, a magnificent presence standing there, radiating an energy that sent shivers down her spine and evoked intense emotions, even without touching Davina.
The longing that consumed her, a mixture of love and anger for Dom's absence, burst within her. Moving almost on instinct, Davina ran into Dom's arms, who awaited her with a smile. An embrace unfolded between them!
POV: ADAM
I arrive at the location, and everything is just as I planned. I've never felt so anxious and nervous. I'm about to make the biggest decision of my life, and I'm finally doing something for myself. She arrives shortly after, seeing me with a beautiful smile. I feel my heart racing, my body coming alive. I'm determined to spend the rest of my life with this incredible woman.
"So beautiful," I whisper in her ear.
"So that's why you weren't responding to my messages and answering the calls?" Her expression turns serious.
"Why else would I do that?"
"I don't know, I started to think maybe there was someone else... I was about to commit a crime against Dom and kill him. I know I would have practically the whole world after me, but I'm a woman who takes risks."
"I know I play with life, but even Dom knows his limits... haha."
I can't help but laugh. I look at her, unable to control the longing I feel. I kiss her desperately, full of thirst. We finish, and she smiles.
"I missed you too... So tell me, what have you been up to?" Her smile is full of suggestions.
"That's quite an offense, Miss Mavromatis. Can't I miss my wife?"
"Sure, you can, but you have to admit it's a bit suspicious... You even managed to steal my best friend and conspire against me!"
"Hahahah, GUILTY, I confess!" I smile seductively and hug her tightly. I've missed the touch of her skin against mine, her sweet scent...
"Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Her question brings me back from my trance.
"Of course! Please, Miss, come with me."
And so we enter the boat, which is also filled with roses, personalized candles, and a dining table in the center.
"If I told you that Dom has a romantic side, no one would ever believe it!"
"I fear for that; I'd be forced to kill you!"
I say, laughing, and she does the same. We sit down to start the dinner. As the sea gently rocks the boat, we sail smoothly. The sky is full of stars, and the moon lights our path. In the distance, the city lights are visible, and the fresh sea breeze surrounds us.
"How's the capo position treating you?" I ask, curious.
"It's hectic, as I expected. But I'm glad I'm making changes and getting things right!"
"I heard about the big event in the courtyard today, putting everyone in their rightful places... You're becoming more feared than Dom himself... hahahah."
"Is that jealousy or envy?" She teases me amidst laughter.
"No, pride and admiration!" I poke the tip of her nose.
"You're in a good mood today, sir."
"Don't provoke me just yet!"
I say, looking her up and down. I'll never understand how she managed to become even more attractive.
"Tell me... How's it in England? I assume you've been quite busy; we've had little contact..."
"I'll be more at ease in the coming years, as I'm moving to France. I appointed Michael as the capo of England to oversee most of the activities there!"
