Eleanor bowed her head slowly when she saw that she had interrupted an intimate moment. I'm sorry, ma'am." She apologized, but Dominic waved his hand in dismissal.Immediately Selena saw her, she knew who she was. From the way she was dressed. She wore black slacks and black cargo tops, she was shocked why she didn't wear camo. " It's great to finally meet you, Eleanor." Selena smiled, breaking the silence."It's good to see you too, ma'am." She bowed respectfully. Selena noticed that her accent was slightly different from hers. "Wait for me in the reception, Eleanor." Dominic ordered and she turned immediately."Are you supposed to turn her away like that?" Selena spoke and he shrugged. She didn't know his position in Victoria, because he was being soft with her didn't make him that soft hearted. He was dealing with her according to her frame. " Isn't she going to feel offended that you walked her out of the office?"" I'm not here to please her. She shouldn't have barged into my
The next morning, Selena bubbled with so much energy as she prepared to go to the office. She could barely sleep the previous night as energy strummed through her veins. She could feel it like a dose of dopamine. It was exhilarating like a kid on sugar rush." You are very happy." Dominic commented from the bed where he was watching everything that was going on." She held a burgundy gown in front of her figure and beamed, "Should I wear this? I think it's too short." " No, it's not. It's fine." Selena stared at him. It seemed as though there was something bothering him because he wasn't speaking which was quite unusual, not like he was talkative but at least he was a bit better. "Are you sure? Are you alright?" Dominic nodded and stared at her when she walked closer to him, " What's the problem?" "Nothing, I thought something had happened to you, maybe in Victoria? You are moody and it's too early in the morning." Dominic shot her a blank look, he was just thinking about some st
Dominic's hand was spread over Selena's chair as he stared at the couple before them. How did they manage to come together after all that happened between them? He guessed, in this case, love was blind. Or she was just being deliberately stupid.Who was he to judge? That would be a breakdown in his character." I didn't know that you also came to where the rich gathered." Silas smirked, his ire leaking through his voice. Dominic didn't rise to the bait because he knew that arguing with a fool was pointless. He nudged Selena gently when she wanted to respond. " Fools aren't to be answered. That's what they want, don't give it to them." He said and Camara's demeanor immediately changed, she was pissed that Dominic would ridicule her husband in that manner." What do you even have?" She retorted.Selena glowered at her but at Dominic's command didn't say anything. When they saw that this couple were not in the mood to banter with them, they walked away quietly." You should have let me
Dominic later changed his mind about not going to the dinner. After considering how lonely and defenseless Selena might be, he decided to show up." Dominic!" Selena exclaimed when she saw him. His eyes rested on hers for a few minutes before strolling around the dining room. Ire was written all over their faces as he strolled in.Selena clung unto him, soaking up his strength as she looked up at him, searching his eyes wondering why he was finally here." I didn't know that you'd come." She muttered under her breath and he chuckled softly. Her family watched the interaction because they had never seen him this cheerful around anyone else. "I didn't want to leave you to the lions, they'll chew and spit you up in a second." Selena was surprised at the accuracy of his words, they were already arguing a few minutes ago. They were insinuating that she and Dominic had a fight, hence the reason for his absence. This had led her to begin to fight on his behalf and ended up trading words wi
Selena's brows creased as she immersed herself in deep thoughts causing Dominic to be a bit worried. His eyes were on throughout the time that they were in the car and he almost spoke about it but decided to give her space.Maybe she was dealing with something else? He thought, so he returned his attention to his phone and decided to seize that opportunity to respond to the tons of messages lying in the phone.The first text he opened was that of Anderson's. They had not spoken for a long time and here he was texting him. It had better be for a good cause. He thought."Good evening, sir, I had a discussion with Micheal, and he is telling me that he wants to supply ammunition to Victoria." He said and I looked around. Oh, so that was the way they were doing it now. How obsessed could Micheal be with Victoria? It was no wonder why he called Anderson. " What did you say?" "I told him no." Anderson's text came faster like he had been waiting for this moment. "Good." Dom replied. He fli
"I'll be back." Dominic told her and alighted from the car. He had already figured out what was going on." Where are you goi..." "I'll be back, don't go anywhere, make sure that she doesn't come down from the car." He told the driver who nodded.With a small nod, he approached the man slowly. The man was looking the other way, which was quite weird because it made him wonder who he was waiting for.When Dominic approached the man quickly turned in his direction. " Hey, man, what are you doing around this place?" He inquired playfully, making sure to tell him that he was aware of whatever hanky-panky game that he intended to play. The man stared at the General. This was the first time that he saw him up close and it baffled him that someone of such caliber could hide and look so chill. " Good evening, sir. I'm lost and I am looking for a place to stay." He lied.Dominic made a sound, Aha. " Can I see the direction you were given?" He inquired and the man stared at him wondering how
Dominic's hands worked behind to loosen the ropes that he had used to tie the man. He dragged him close to the door of his neighbor's compound. Luckily, they had retired to bed. He slapped the man hard across his face and he jolted out of his unconscious state. The man looked around slowly trying to figure out where he was and Dominic gave him another resounding slap which had him clutching his face tightly." What did I do to you, General?" He queried. Dominic shot him an intimidating stare and the man tried to crawl away. Dominic placed a leg on his stomach, stopping him from moving anywhere. " You are hell bent on making your life miserable, isn't it? Tell me why you don't want to tell me who sent you." " It's because I don't know, and I'm telling the complete truth. I was contacted to come see someone." The man lied again.Dominic gritted his teeth. He would not readily get involved in a fight with people from Kester City, but this man was pushing him. Back at Victoria, he wou
Dominic wiped his hands against the handkerchief and stared at Selena who was looking at him wide-eyed. "Hold him down. Let's go in." He told her and held out his hand slowly. Selena couldn't get the image of that bloody man out of her head and she took a glance at him before walking away. "What are you going to do to him? Are you going to kill him?""If it warrants it." He replied and pushed the door open, waiting for her to enter. "Are you okay?" He inquired when he saw her shuddering quietly in the distance. Selena looked up and stared at him, " Yeah, I guess. I don't know. I'm a bit scared. I've never seen someone being killed before my very eyes." She replied.He sighed softly and walked closer to her. "You have to know that I'm a General. I will definitely get into fights like this once a while and I will definitely not allow anyone to kill you." He replied.Selena understood what he was saying but she didn't like the fact that he could take a life without batting a lid. " Yo
