acknowledge our unborn child as his heir if you
went along with him?”
His words made Taylor furious. “It wasn’t like
that at all, Dominic. Franco is a man who loves you
and who already loves his great-grandchild. He
merely wants to be a part of our baby’s life and I
can see no reason why he should not.”
“Well, I do and I won’t have it.”
She leaned forward and placed her hands on her
naked hips. “I don’t care what you won’t have so
get over it. I will not break my promise to him.”
“And what about your loyalty to me?”
Taylor figured that now was not the time to tell
Dominic that not only did he have her loyalty but
that he also had her love, but that this was one issue
she could not, would not agree with him on. “I am
loyal to you, Dominic, however, I will not deny my
child the right to know its great-grandparent.”
The room got quiet, and the tension surrounding
them was almost unbearable. Then Dominic spoke as
he began picking up his clothes off the floor. “Then
it seems we have nothing more to discuss, Taylor.”
He turned his back on her and went into the
bathroom and closed the door. He reappeared in the
room a short while later fully dressed. He came over
to the bed, stood over her and glared down at her. His
face was tight, his features still intense. “I’m leaving.”
“Fine, and once you realize just how unfair
you’re being, please call me.”
