A Divorce He Regrets (Raina and Alexander) novel Chapter 239

RAINA

I'm getting married. I couldn't believe it. It felt so surreal to be back at this spot. Pre wedding jitters, the ever familiar and dreaded wedding preparations. The thought of having to go through it again sent a shiver of dread through me.

Alex was excited about it, I could see it in the way him eyes shone like I was a genie ready to grant his one unearthly wish, but did I want to get married again? To the same man? I was just as confused as a hobo in a mansion.

Being Mrs Sullivan again. My heart twisted on itself at the thought. Only problem was I wasn't sure if it was from dread, excitement or worry.

It was for the company, I reminded myself. Alex just happened to be in the right place at the right time and fit perfectly into the role, that was it. There was no other reason. Not because stupid heart ached to be in his arms every time, not because his smile sent a booster shot straight to the butterflies in my belly. I was not getting married to Alex Sullivan because I love him, it was just convenient, I reminded myself. The only thing left was to actually believe it.

Marriage was scarier than being in a haunted house alone with nothing but a broken pencil as a weapon and blowtorch as lighting. I didn't lose my shit at the meeting because I wasn't married but because I needed rest and if getting married meant stopping all the crazy at the office and getting some rest, I would, especially if I knew the man like the back of my palm.

Alex stared up at me, his eyes shining with hope, hope that didn't want even when I remained tongue tied for what felt like an eternity. What was I supposed to say? I couldn't just outrightly refuse.

"Dom, could you excuse us for a bit?" He didn't take his eyes away from mine as he made his request, he drank every expression on my face like it held the answer to everything.
