Aria’s POV
* Thirteen years ago *
The pregnancy test has been riding shotgun for three days.
Wrapped in tissue paper like a gift. Sitting on the passenger seat while I drive to my husband's office at 9PM on a Tuesday, because Dominic has worked late every night since last week and I miss him.
It's that simple and that embarrassing — I miss my husband.
I miss the way he pulls me close when he walks through the door, the way he says my name. He's been distracted lately. Coming home later than usual, kissing my forehead with his mind somewhere else.
Perhaps it's the new acquisition. The company is demanding, and Dominic gives everything to the business. Yet there's still a sickening thought that lives in the back of my skull, but I don't let it sharpen.
He loves me. He married me. That's the whole story.
He’s just working hard to give me and our future baby everything. Nothing else there. No one.
And God, I know how much he wants a son. Has wanted one since before he wanted me — once on one of our dates he talked about the Carraway family’s name and legacy like he was reading aloud from blueprints he'd already filed.
I sat across from him with my Goodwill dress and my one good pair of heels and thought: this man knows exactly where his life is going.
And he chose me to go there with him. Out of everyone, he chose me.
That still makes my chest warm when I think about it.
The girl from the two-bedroom apartment, the scholarship kid of a lonely hardworking mother… and Dominic Carraway. A billionaire heir, powerful CEO who got down on one knee and said ‘you're the best decision I ever made.’
