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
Their disagreement stretched into the next day and Selena was moody throughout breakfast. Eleanor, who had arrived late in the night the previous day, noticed the tension between the couple but didn't comment." So, when I give you the documents, pass it to Anderson and finally George. We can't have any of them thinking otherwise." Dominic inserted as he sipped his coffee slowly.Eleanor raised her head from her plate and looked at him, " Yes, sir." She replied warily, eager to return to her food. The stares were killing her and she was uncomfortable. "Also, what happened to him? Where is he now?" He asked.Selena didn't hide the fact that she was staring at him, as her eyes fastened on him, "So, he's still alive." She butted in.Eleanor shot a glance at Dominic who wore a sour look. He didn't want Selena's input in this case. She didn't understand how these things worked, "Yes, he's still alive." "Good."Dominic took extra sips of the coffee before rising from the chair. "I'll see
Selena was more paranoid than when she was walking into the office that morning and it somewhat affected her when she was working. Her mind wandered towards who could be after her. What could the person want? She hoped that she was not making a huge mistake which would cause to regret marrying Dominic.She really looked forward to being with him but with all of these thrown into the mix, she might reconsider. Her phone buzzed, startling her out of her thoughts. " Hey, mom. what's good?" Rose removed the phone from her ear and took a look at it the second time. It wasn't news that her first born daughter hated to hear her voice, hence the surprise at the tone." How are you doing today? I called to invite you for lunch if that's okay with you?" She asked carefully, trying to understand what was going on.Selena was also surprised by her mother's polite tone. It was also common knowledge that they weren't exactly on the best terms especially since the issue of her marriage to Dominic
Dominic stretched out his hand for a handshake which Louisa gladly took as her eyes ran over his full length. He was handsome, better than she had imagined. "It's good to finally meet you." He said, although he had not heard anything about her. Louisa adjusted her baby on her second arm gently and smiled, while giving Selena a surreptitious glance, wiggling her brows ever so slightly causing her to blush. "Me too. Uh...I was just about to leave." Dominic nodded stiffly and stared at the woman before him, she seemed like a nice person. His eyes strolled lazily to Selena who jumped out of her daze and reached for her friend's bag. " Oh, hey... I think you should leave now if you want to get home before nightfall." She said.A small smile appeared on Louisa's face and she nodded, " I guess, remember to invite me to your wedding." She reminded her as she headed to the door."Of course, I will. Selene can be my little bride." Louisa halted in her step when she heard that, " Aww, that's
Lily's presentation was a blend of innovative and challenging strategies. Each slide fluidly wove its way into the next one, as it showed the state which the company could be in the next few years if these strategies were employed. Selena clapped her hands in amazement. "This is so brilliant, Lily. I didn't think that you would deliver such a great job in the space of a few weeks." She exclaimed.Lily's face colored with the praise showered on her as she heaved a sigh of relief and smiled bashfully. " Thank you." She whispered.Dominic stared at the young lady before him, she was brainy, now he could see why Selena had insisted that she take the job. " This is impressive, we'll announce it to the team. Thank you for this." He said and returned his attention to his laptop.Lily's face even colored profusely as a grin stretched from one ear to the other. "You're welcome, sir. I'm glad that I could do this.Thanks for trusting me with this opportunity." She replied.Selena rose and went
