-Dominic's POV-
I guess having both of my brothers and living my happily ever after was too much to ask for huh?
For a while, I laid there in my darkness, fully aware of why. Besides, I was the one who decided to live it out this way. I was the one to choose. When I realised there must have been something wrong, I went to the hospital and that's when I found out,
My heart was failing.
I was told that I had to stay in the hospital for testing and treatment. I was told to quit smoking and drinking. I was told to stop fighting but of course, I could never agree to that. I told them I'd carry on living that same life, that I wouldn't change it for the world.
And so it became a secret. A secret only Xavier and I shared.
