iv. The Heir

The way he looked at the child, made her want to throw up. She has never been that jealous before, but it was because she has never seen that much joy in his eyes.

She smiled bitterly as Dominus joined his wife and child. He seemed to have forgotten she was even there in the same room. 

He took the child in his arms and gingerly lifted him up, showing him to everyone. It was when their eyes met, finally reminding him of her presence.

He hesitantly walked toward her, and showed him the child. The child resembled him a lot, there was no way to deny it was his. 

"He looks exactly like you," she felt like she was being choked, in a painful way where she can't even seem to breathe. 

He didn't catch the hurt in her voice, his focus was entirely on the baby. He smiled and replied, "I think so too. We should name him soon. What do you think about Jiro?"
