Dominic returned to Victoria with the first flight that he could take. Upon his return, he was very strict and made sure that everyone was following his orders. His people were on tiptoes and they whispered among themselves what could be the issue. "I think that he's having a fight with his wife. I mean, this was the way he was before he got hitched." "I like him this way. I think she softened him. This is the general that we know." Another person replied. "I think you're due for some punishment so that you will sit straight. Do you know the danger of not minding your business especially now that there's no one to beg for you? You see that Eleanor dare not try the General now if not she would lose her life." They adjusted in their stance and everyone rushed to their individual houses because they didn't want to incur the General's wrath but some certain stubborn people remained without moving. A crack of whip descended on their backs and they scattered. "Why didn't you wait to
Two weeks Later, Selena was restless in bed, her hand hovered over her phone contemplating calling Dominic or not. There was something that was stopping her from reaching out to him be it pride or something else she couldn't place her finger on. But...one thing was certain, she was missing him a lot. She didn't even think about not having to talk to him one day. It was almost as if she was about to lose everything. Her routine consisted of going to work and going to the hospital to see her sister who was still refusing to allow her in except she was asleep. Her mother's anger had waned but the friction between them was still too great. It was only Grandma who was making the house a bit likely. She was also trying her best to make sure that nothing disturbed her relationship with grandma. She was burying herself in work. As the new director of the Star Shooter Consortium, she was even saddled with responsibilities that made her former job seem like a joke. She had spare time for lu
Dominic had gotten to the point where he was trying to make sure that Victoria was stable and that there was also nothing that would stop him from returning to the Keister without having a backbone of the sort and he decided that he would leave as soon as possible.Eleanor came knocking on the door softly knowing that he was in a very bad mood and not wanting to bear the brunt of his anger. "Come in." Dominic's gruff voice thundered through the trailer and she pushed the door open gently allowing herself passage."Good morning, sir. I was having a small problem with the miners and I decided to bring to your notice." She said warily hoping that he didn't bite her head off this time."Okay, then so what are you going to do about it?" He replied..Eleanor was taken aback by the response and was afraid that something bad might have probably happened for him to act this way. There wasn't an iota of familiarity in his gaze and she heaved a deep sigh. " I don't know, sir. I tried to tell th
Eleanor listed all the names of all the people who were going to be available for the list that Dominic wanted to carry out but was finally left with a few people who she was still a bit unsure of. "What's going on?" Dominic inquired when he saw the conflicting look on her face and she stared at him. "You've been frowning." She coughed softly before staring at him once again. " I don't know sir. I'm just feeling that this might not be a good idea." He raised his brows and she placed a hand before her. " I didn't mean your idea, what I meant was the fact that I would be choosing people who I think are worth it but on the other hand, I think that they have a reason to be a bit afraid, I don't know what will happen if I write the wrong names." Dominic thought that it was a valid fear though. There was something that told him that he was probably wasting his time making sure that his people were safe. It wasn't because of them but just because of the people who were supposed to be pro
By the time the plane landed, Selena sighed in pleasure. Shr breathed fresh air that was missing in the city. If she had her way, she would bring her things with her but for the issues that were predominantly arising she would rather just stay away from anything that connoted drama.After staying away for so long, there was nothing that would stop her from seeing him even if it meant just staying for a day. She hadn't still made up with her sister but she knew that they wouldn't replace Dominic in her life. Her grandma had given her the go-ahead to go find her man and come have the wedding as soon as possible. "Why is it that you don't have the lights anymore? It's really dark here." She complained to Eleanor who was as stiff as a board. If she had her way she wouldn't even be talking to Selena. She had lied to the pilot that it was Dominic who sent him to bring his beloved to Victoria. She could only pray that he didn't report to yue General. That meant it was an automatic demotion
Everyone noticed the changes in Dominic the next day when he came out the next day. "Why is the General a bit cheerful today? Is there a problem that he's solved? I know that there would be something behind his smile. I can't..." Eleanor coughed as she also exited her trailer and caught them discussing. "Is there any problem with that? I think I need to report one of you to the General so that you change your ways. One can see that you don't have anything to do with your lives right?" She replied. The people straightened instantly. " Please don't do that. We are just happy that everything is going on well. I don't know what I should even say concerning the issues. I'm just excited really." A man replied. Dominic was returning from the mine when he saw a few people gathered. The familiar hair of Eleanor shone amongst theirs and he saw her addressing them animatedly. He would still let her maintain her position. Everyone had stilled as he approached but Eleanor who was oblivious co
Chapter 128 "Let me get this straight, you mean you own the consortium?" Selena inquired in utter surprise as she stared at Dominic. He was richer than she ever imagined. What would have happened if she didn't snoop around, well that didn't permit snooping. "Kind of. It's just one of my chains of businesses." Selena rested on his chest. " I feel like a distraction to your goals. You're very focused and I can't even imagine you stopping right now because of me. I thought you were a business associate. What was I even thinking? I should have figured it out that day we went there and saw our beloved in-law and sister." She said, tracing circles around his chest. He hummed in pleasure while returning the favor on her back. " Okay, so how's work?" She suddenly felt shy that he was asking that question because she knew that he got reports from his people at work. It was just stupid for her to start telling him everything that had happened. "You already have the information." "Doesn'
Scared of what that might be, Selena moved backward but Dominic went ahead to check what was actually going on. He picked up the box and opened the wrap. He had already thought of who that could be but didn't know who it could be though.Then he reached into the box and brought out an envelope. " He dropped the box down and tore the seal open perusing what was inside it. He wasn't surprised when he found out that it was a letter.A letter? He wondered. This was him trying to make sure that things were balanced yet someone was delivering a threatening letter. "What is that? Is it something bad?" Selena poked her head out of the trailer and she stared at him in horror when she read the contents of the letter. "He's threatening to kill me if you don't surrender Victoria to him? Who the hell is this person?""Mezeth of course. He's hiding somewhere. I made a mistake of not killing him when I had the chance. That stupid man knows what he's doing." Dominic muttered regretfully."Ouch, that
