Chapter 139: Make Amends
Enzo couldn’t believe what he had just heard from Dominique. Although he didn’t have a recollection of his father, he refused to believe that his father was capable of killing someone.
"Dominique, are you sure it was my father? Do you have proof? But why? I believe that my father would never do that."
"I decided to come clean, Enzo. That’s why I’m telling you this. You have a reason to hate me. And I am here to reveal the reason why I betrayed your sister and your family."
Enzo stayed quiet. He needed to hear everything.
"I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way," Dominique began, his voice heavy with regret. "When I first got involved with your family, it was solely for my revenge. Simple as that."
"To get into your family... I targeted Sabrina. I approached her... acting like a hero so that I could enter her life. My goal is to acquire your family’s wealth and make your father suffer... But then... things got complicated."
Enzo’s eyes narrowed, his grip on the urn tightening. "Complicated how?"
Dominique looked back at the ocean, his expression turning gloomy. "I fell in love with Sabrina," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "But I didn’t acknowledge it. I was in denial for so long because I felt guilty for my own family."
"I shouldn’t fall in love with the daughter of the man who destroyed my family. I thought I was still faking my feelings for her... I planned on letting her go after achieving my goal. I know she deserves to be happy with someone else... so I made her believe that I cheated on her so that she would sign the divorce paper."
"I wanted power, control... and I thought I could have it all. I thought I could protect her and still achieve my goals."
