Surprisingly Marcel only retorted but he didn’t retaliate even as Dominic continuously sent blows to his face. “Please stop this Dominic, what impression will you be giving the guests we have here, just let it go,” Selena yelled and pleaded but still Dominic didn’t listen.He stopped only when he was comfortable and not because of Selena’s pleas.“What’s wrong with you Dominic? Why would you do something like that? He is your brother for crying out loud and why do you hate him so much?” Selena made sure she yelled if not Dominic didn't pay any attention to her.He was very annoyed as his eyes were ice cold. “He is not my brother and he has lost all the privilege to that name a long time ago. “Dominic spat out.“Then why won’t you tell me how? What did he do that made you hate him this much that you can’t let go all this while?”“He knows what he did and you better leave now because I don’t want you around me anymore. Don’t make me do something we are both going to regret.”; Dominic
"You're the best husband in the whole world," she smiled. "Hold your horses, angel. We're not husband and wife just yet. We're just engaged," he said with a grin and Selena bit her lip, a little disappointed."Oh, okay," she nodded. "When are we going to have the party?" She needed to know."I was thinking of having a court wedding first," Dominic started. "And then we'll have the celebration later, because I have some things to take care of," he said. Selena frowned a little and he rushed to appease her. "I need to take care of all my threats. I don't plan to put you at risk. You are too important," he said and she blushed crimson again."Damn, the perks of marrying a military officer," she sighed sarcastically. Dominic smirked. "Would you have it any other way?" He asked."No," she shook her head. "I wouldn't."Selena and Dominic set out to Selena's family house in their simple but sophisticated outfits. Selena wore a sleek and elegant black dinner dress, the fabric draped gracefu
"Are you sure?" Dominic confirmed, trying to make sense of what the strange caller told him."Yes, I am, boss. We..." The man continued when a loud blast was heard in the background and immediately, the call was disconnected. Dominic froze where he stood. Unable to move or speak, he just heard his mine get destroyed by a bomb blast."What's going on?" Selena asked in fearAnd Dominic explained everything to her, she stared at him with fear in her eyes as the image of their previously broken house appeared in her mind."You need to stay back, I will be fine. It's not something I want you to see, let me handle this." Dominic objected to her offer and after some seconds of back and forth, she agreed to stay back.He picked up his tuxedo from the sofa and walked briskly to his car. He drove to the mine to meet it in ashes. He questioned the foremen who were there how a bomb was planted right before their eyes when his phone rang and his brother informed him that he was able to track the
"Silas has just two options, pay every dime I used in building that mine that exploded, or he will spend the rest of his life in jail," Dominic cut her off.Selena understood right away how worse the situation had turned into, and with her fiancé's anger, he wouldn't let Silas go scot-free. She was sure Silas won't be able to pay that amount of money either, even in the next ten years. With the way things have escalated, they would have no choice but to make the wedding preparations be on hold.Camara was sending her text messages even while she was on call, begging her to convince her husband to do something about it. She wouldn't be able to bear Silas's misfortune of blowing up a billionaire's mine to affect her dream wedding.Looking at her sister with sad eyes, she felt moved. "What if you allow him to pay in installments because of their situation? Or can anything else be done?" She asked with a low voice. As expected, Dominic hung up on her in anger.Dominic walked over to the pl
The amount of calls that Selena received during both men's time in jail was so alarming that she almost had to put up a disclaimer. She wasn't the one that they should appeal to. They had wronged the General and all they had to do was to make sure that they apologized properly.Having to deal with certain people who thought that they could do whatever they pleased and just leave made things very hard for her to process.If only they could be very contrite, then she would also feel remorseful for them.It didn't also help that Camara was just a mess after the incident which she frowned heavily upon because it didn't make any sense to her. If it were reversed, she would have divorced that swindle of a man. Oh, they hadn't gotten married. She would have called off the wedding but sadly that lady was joined to this man hook, line and sinker and that was why he was acting the way he did because he knew that there was someone who was willing t worry her pretty head over a man who wasn't wor
With the myriad of things that were happening in the Alexiou family, Dominic was able to easily navigate through it. Their marriage which had happened was not going to end anytime soon though. He also had other focus because he needed to trash out the few people that threatened to pose as a disturbance to him so at the end of the day, he finally decided that he would get to the bottom of the issue.Fast forward to the next day, he and Selena were on the porch waiting to see what was happening at least in the environment. They didn't have neighbors though so they were busy enjoying the scenery."I was talking to my sister last night and she sounded highly remorseful. I don't know what the problem is though." Selena informed Dominic.He stopped typing on his laptop to stare at her. He would rather she didn't tell him anything about her but didn't just want to make her sad. At this point, there were various things that were going to stop her from telling him about them, which included h
Selena and Dominic stepped into work together the next day with their hands locked together. It was their first official welcome party into the office so a few members of staff gathered at the reception to welcome them. A few balloons were popped and some bottles of champagne too. It was almost a small work party.Dominic didn't expect them to do that for him but he was glad nonetheless. "Thank you everyone for helping with this preparation.""I really appreciate it."They chatted for a few minutes before finally allowing everyone to go back to their various departments. Dominic walks straight to his office. The investors were supposed to be here before twelve p.m. That would have given the cleaners enough time to be able to do all that they should do before their arrival.Selena plopped down on the chair and smiled. Life was good, everything was going according to plan and she couldn't help but be grateful. There was something else that she was trying to do, which was to brush up her
At the end of the presentation, the investors began to clap Selena and Dominic was busy smiling. He loved the fact that she was ready to give her all yi the presentation and was finally able to convince his clients without any atom of doubt that they needed to invest in their company. It was wonderful seeing something like this after a long period of time. "I think we can proceed to the next thing on the line which is none other than having to make sure that we sign the deeds. That's the issue."She stared at him and was happy at the proud look that adorned his face. If anyone still had any bias toward them it was probably because they just decided to have a problem with her. Her position was solidified in the company.Marcel waited till the investors had finished signing all the papers before lifting her up and spinning her around. "What the hell?!" Dominic's voice boomed throughout the room like thunder. Marcel smirked while Selena smacked his head upside. Why would he love peace
