A Divorce He Regrets (Raina and Alexander) novel Chapter 240

With him on his knees, his eyes glinting with hope and challenge, my insides in disarray. It was almost like our wedding day, he had that same boyish grin, eyes shining with uncontained happiness as he went on one knees like he was proposing again as he said his vows without a script, all from his heart.

My heart wrenched painfully because unlike that wedding, Liam and Ava were not in the picture and they would be coming for the wedding. They already witnessed one divorce they hadn't even been been part of the wedding and they hurt from that. What happens if Alex and I get a divorce again after letting them believe in a fairytale that was a wedding ceremony.

"Can you go get Dom?" He cocked a questioning brow at me, but went out still. Both men came back in and I gulped. I knew the request I had would add more hurt to the pile I'd tossed Alex, but I just couldn't beat the thought of it, the thought of Liam and Ava being witnesses to another short lived lie.

"We don't need to tell the kids or grandma about the wedding." Alex's smile faltered, the glint in his eyes dimmed.

Dom's brows kissed in a frown, "Why?" He asked like I just told him I wanted to catch bigfoot and use him as a teddybear.

I sighed, "If the marriage doesn't work out again and we get a divorce," I avoided Alex's gaze like the plague. I could feel the heat of his atare on the sides of my face, but I didn't dare look, "it'll hurt them and I don't think I can do that, not even for the company that's trying to kick me out." I rushed.

Dom crossed his arm over his chest, an impassive look on his face like he didn't just hear me, "And if it does?" He challenged.

I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He was right. What if it does? There was at most a five percent chance it would, but there was also over ninety percent chance it wouldn't, past history aside. But what if it does? The words echoed in my head.

"Fine. We can keep it a secret." He caved. "For now."
