2024-10-29 19:42:56Dominic went straight to his locker, ignoring them as if he wasn't the one they were referring to. Clark was not ready to let it slide; he attacked Dominic, pushing him on his shoulder. “You're despicable and a coward. I hate you.” Dominic ignored him like he wasn't there.
“What do you expect from the little princess? Once a lady’s puppet, always a laddy’s puppet,” Linda added. Dominic saw it as a waste of time to reply to them; he was going anyway, so they could keep ranting all they could.
Suddenly, a group of men stormed the office, looking dangerous and terrifying everyone present. There were five in number, and their presence sent terror through the office. “Where the hell is Selena? Don't make this harder than it needs to be.” the leader of the gang shouted intimidatingly.
When he received no reply, he walked up to Zara, who was visibly shaking and he seemed to relish in the fear he caused. “Well, well, what do we have here? A little sweetheart. Maybe she'll keep us entertained tonight.”
“We could take her in exchange for Selena, boss,” one of the men suggested.
“Please, I will take you to Selena, don't hurt me, please,” Zara said in fear.
The man bent over to her and whispered,
“I'm not going to hurt you, baby. I just want to pleasure you. You must be sweet.”
Everyone had their heads under their tables. They couldn't stand to face the gangsters. Clark had an ugly face too, but he wasn't courageous enough to stand up against them.
“Guys, no one leaves here until Selena appears. Block all major entrances,” the man ordered his men as they took positions.
Frank, arriving late today, was about to make his way into the office when he noticed strange movements. He quickly hid himself, observing from afar.
“What the hell is going on here?” Dominic asked on entering the main office. He charged forward towards where the gangsters were.
“Back off, you don't intend to play super hero, right?” The man asked nonchalantly without giving Dominic so much attention.
“You're violating the law by being here. Leave immediately.” Dominic gently told them which made the gangster boss turn towards him, giving him a curious look.
He laughed before sneering, "Who does this guy think he is?" Reaching out to Dominic, he chested him, holding his gaze.
“I said back off. You don't mess w…” The gangster leader growled, abruptly punching Dominic in the face.
“Ouchh!!” He winced in pain, shaking his fingers to alleviate the intense pain that shot through his hands.
Dominic didn't flinch; it seemed he didn't feel anything, leaving the man who punched him to look at him with shock and contempt.
Selena rushed into the office, on receiving information that gangsters were terrorizing her staff. This was her mess, and she didn't want to drag any of her employees into it.
As soon as she entered, the men moved towards her, attempting to surround her. Dominic acted swiftly, blocking their path with his body, standing in their way.
“Get out of the way, you asshole! We're here for her, and we won't leave until she pays all her debt,” one of the men said sternly to Dominic.
Selena shouted from behind Dominic, “I know Arthur is behind this. I shouldn't have done that project with him.”
“Whatever deal you have with him is none of my business. I'm a loan shark, and I'm here for remittance,” the gang leader replied with a stern face.
Dominic watched as Selena's cheeks turned red; she was stressed, and he felt touched. She had been kind to him, and he wanted to repay her kindness.
"Hey dude, I will pay every single penny to you, but you need to leave first," Dominic said. Selena turned to him.
"Have you lost it? This is my burden; allow me to shoulder it," Selena said to him.
"Your shoulders look pretty weak and tired; consider it a favor," Dominic said sharply before turning to the men. "Please get out now; I said I will pay you whatever a..."
"Shut it, Dominic!" Selena yelled. "This isn't a sort of joke. We are talking of eight million dollars here. Where do you think you can get it?"
"I know, Selena," Dominic held her hands as he continued, "Allow me to handle this. I got it”
"I know how nice you want to be, but this is b..."
"Shhhh," Dominic said, using his fingers on her lips to shush her up.
"Allow me to handle it..."
"What the heck! Are we acting movies here? Hey you, I have tolerated you enough. Get out now!" he said, pointing a gun at Dominic.
Dominic rolled his eyes as he drifted towards him swiftly, seizing his hand behind his back, making him scream in pain, and the gun in his hand fell.
Seeing what just happened, his subordinates quickly took their guns in an attempt to attack Dominic.
"One more step, and I will break his hand," Dominic growled with clenched teeth and bloodshot eyes. He saw the surprise on Selena's face from the corner of his eyes.
"You will do as I say from henceforth," Dominic threatened further. "Now, take your men and vacate this premises. As for your money, you will receive it in thirty minutes. Now, get the hell out of here!" Dominic yelled and freed the man from his clutches.
The man staggered, signaling his men as they evacuated the office. He went closer to one of his men and whispered, "That bastard must not leave. Get more men downstairs. We strike back in one hour's time.”
Selena watched as the men left the office. Her cheeks suddenly turned pink, pleased that Dominic stood up for her. She sighed deeply in relief but then faced Dominic. "You need to leave; this is dangerous. I will find a way out."
Dominic looked at her, unfazed. He admired her even more; she was considerate and protective, unlike Diana. He observed her through her uncertainty, yet she still wanted to protect him.
He was touched, and he smiled at her. "Eight million dollars is not a big deal. I could easily help you offset it."
"Are you for real now? Why are you so persistent?" Selena asked angrily.
"I've got you on this," Dominic protested once again, and Selena yelled at him, "Aren't you worried about your safety? These people are dangerous, and you don't mess with them.”
"Okay, fine. Since you insist on being the superhero." She walked to her table, printed a paper out, and handed it over to Dominic.
"What's this?" he asked, confused.
"Here's an agreement order. If you can pay off my debt, I, Selena Alexiou, will marry you and make you the president of Alexiou's Enterprise."
Dominic glared at the paper in shock. Selena wanted him to back out. She knew there was no way he was going to be able to pay eight million dollars.

Dominic stood there motionless, unsure of the best way to react to what Selena had typed down on the agreement paper.Although he knew that she doubted he had $8 million dollars to give her, she had already won his admiration, making any wrongdoing on her part insignificant.“Okay... Ehhrrmmm… I mean your account number,” he said while sighing, attempting to control his emotion.“It's on the paper there, check it out,” Dominic said simply. She had given up on making him see reasons why he shouldn't involve himself. So, she just wanted to see where this whole drama would end. She was patient with Dominic; he has been one of her hardworking employees.Her phone beeped; she was expecting a reply from Clara, her best friend. She had asked her for assistance to pay off her loan. Yes, Clara had replied, but another message from her bank distracted her.“Ohh no,” she said surprisingly as her gaze met the sheepish smile of Dominic."How did you..." she tried to ask, but he cut her off.

“How cheap! I can't believe my elder sister sold herself for $10 million,” Camara mocked, and Selena's countenance changed. She was angry but chose to hide her anger so she wouldn't ruin her grandma's birthday celebration. Dominic took a deep breath, his tone firm but measured. "Camara, that comment is disrespectful and uncalled for. Selena and I are married because we love each other, and the decision was based on more than just financial considerations. Let's focus on the joyous occasion and show some respect.”Camara faced Dominic, ready to fight back. She was angry that he didn't have the right to reprimand her like a child, but Silas quickly stopped his wife from reacting to Dominic. He was afraid and didn't want his wife to mess with Dominic, realizing he could be the son of a very rich and influential person in the state.Clearly envious, Silas swiftly searched for Dominic's name to check if he was a celebrity he wasn't aware of. Finding no matches, he became suspicious of Dom

Silas leaned back in his chair with a self-satisfied grin. "I did a little digging, Selena. Your charming husband here isn't the hidden wealthy man you think he is. He's just a small employee juggling several part-time jobs for the past few years. The money he used to 'save the company' is likely every penny he scraped together from those menial jobs.”Dominic sat unfazed by Silas’ revelation and responded calmly, "Impressive detective work, Silas. Yes, I worked hard, took odd jobs, and saved every penny to help Selena's company. It's not about being a hidden rich man; it's about dedication and genuine care for someone I love.”“Oohh shut it, you loser. You don't have a place here,” Silas stressed with disdain. The room fell silent as everyone gasped at the sudden revelation. The Alexiou's family doesn't tolerate poor people, so they took it upon themselves to ridicule Dominic and make him see he doesn't have a place with them.Camara got the perfect opportunity to diminish Dominic fu

" Why don't we go to my house?" Selena suggested as they got to the carpark, she still had her rickety car they could take home. Dominic shrugged before nodding slowly." Okay." It wasn't as though he had a place to stay since he and Diana were no longer together. Together, they entered her car and she smiled at him as she threw the car keys at him. He caught them with ease. "Will you drive?" She asked him before furrowing her eyebrows as she stared at him, "I'm sorry, can you drive?" Dominic nodded, he didn't blame her for thinking that he wasn't capable of handling a car. " I can manage." He said and ignited the car. Selena smiled, " I trust you, but I don't want to die." She said. He grinned and Selena was taken aback by his handsomeness. Diana missed a gem and she was happy that she was the one who got it. " I can feel your eyes on me." He said and Dominic smiled as he navigated the car home. Then he suddenly brought the car to a halt causing Selena to be startled." Why did

"Let's just say that she's a very dear friend of mine." Dominic lied, he wasn't willing to reveal everything to her and thus wasn't because he didn't trust her but for the fact that he wanted to build the relationship on a normal level, allow it to gain momentum before finally coming out to her. Selena cocked her head, a pang of jealousy rushed through her. She didn't expect him to have a friend, a dear one at that. " Should I be worried?" She inquired and Dominic's brows furrowed in momentary confusion before his eyes widened at the realization."Oh? About Eleanor?" He asked in surprise and Selena nodded. He chuckled briefly, " No, you don't." He replied." Why do I have a feeling that you are lying to me?" Selena asked and he stared at her as though she was saying gibberish. Dominic sighed, he didn't want her to begin to ask more questions. "Firstly, I don't think she's your friend, you wouldn't speak to her in that manner." She said.Dominic went silent, she was astute of her goo

They grimaced as they turned towards her, "Mom, I was just having a conversation with Camara." Rose said but she didn't say anything else.Grandma stared at her with anger in her eyes, "My guests are getting well." She said, Her party was always the talk of the town and she wouldn't like this year to be different. There was a reason she was called the Queen of parties. " Mom, it was just for a minute, I'm sure they won't die of starvation." Rose replied tiredly, not happy that she was facing this kind of lashing from her mother in front of her daughter. If she wanted to make a correction which this wasn't by the way, she could call her secretly and talk about it not speak as though she was a kid."Don't take that tone with me young lady." Grandma said and Rose rolled her eyes. Anger welled in her eyes as she stared at her daughter.Camara felt the need to come in between them, this was what happened when a mother and daughter were strong-willed. This was also expressed in her mother'

Dominic was up before the crow of the birds and he scanned through his phone which had been beeping. It was a message from Eleanor yet again, filled with a little irritation mixed with curiosity as to why she was sending messages so early after he had expressly told her what to do, he dialed her number.He went out of the room and closed the door gently remembering this time to speak in low volumes so that Selena didn't start quizzing him again.Eleanor picked up on the first ring, she was surprised why her boss didn't pick up immediately he heard the beep. Well that was probably the perks of being with a new woman.Not like she was jealous, well probably a tiny weenie jealous but that was not the right." Good morning sir" she said immediately she heard his voice. " Sorry for calling this early, sir." " No, you're not sorry, tell me why you called." Dominic replied curtly.She almost sighed, "Sir, we've been stuck with what to do. I told the Lieutenant about your idea but he says t

A few hours later, At the Company, " They've arrived!" A man said and the rest of the workers comported themselves. They were on their feet as their bosses walked in. "Good morning, ma'am," " Good morning, sir." They greeted each other as they walked past them. As if they had spoken about it, none of them replied as they continued into the lift. " Let's give them a show." Dominic said and Selena nodded, so he pulled her into his arms and gave her a torrid kiss which sent the workers mouth drop in shock as the lift door closed." Someone tell me to close my mouth, this is unbelievable!" Ryan exclaimed, it was as if he was daydreaming." If anyone had told me that both of them would end up together I would have sworn and said no, alas, what do I know?" Another worker commented." How can she stoop so low to date, talk more of planning to marry that riffraff?" Amelia contributed, green with envy. What a gem that slipped off their hands!Emily looked up from her computer, she was the

"Of course, you heard what I said," There was venom and so much hatred in Diana's voice that the crowd shivered with it. Everyone fell silent, the people laid on the floor, trembling with their arms over their head as they prayed for safety. Diana came with a small army of men dressed in black suits and they barricaded the church. Apart from the conspicuous plastic surgery done on the left side of her face,she seemed to have grown bigger. Dominic didn't know how to feel, Selena might have imagined it as the last day of her life, she clenched tighter to him, wishing it would pass away like a dream. "Silly you are Marcus," she said with a snicker, "thinking you can defeat me this easily. I have spent a lifetime planning, waiting for this very moment" Her voice cut through the walls of the silent church, Dominic was still thinking of a response to give when she suddenly twisted Marcus arm and swept him off his feet.

It was finally the day of the wedding. Petals adorned the floor, surrounding the chair and giving off this crazy rich Asians vibe. It was almost feathery that one would think that they were going to lay on them. The church had been decorated by the best event planner in town. No one could even dispute the fact that their wedding was the most elegant in town and how much they had spent. It was the talk of the whole town. People had come from far and near to witness the joining. It was almost as if they had been told that if they missed this wedding, they had missed a lot of things By six a.m. the church was already packed. People who couldn't attend the church service were already seated in the hall waiting for the bride and groom to finally arrive.The priest cleared his throat after everyone had found a place to sit.

Selena opened her eyes first and saw Dominic standing at the window looking outside the hospital. The sunrays hit her eyes and she squinted, she didn't know the time that she made the sound. It was very soft but he heard it anyway. She was tired and stressed but couldn't find an expression for her emotions.As if touched by a life wire, Dominic quickly turned and saw that she was awake. A small smile appeared on his face as he stared at her, she was beautiful even in her sick state. He marched to the edge of the bed and gathered her softly into his arms, her body was exactly the way he remembered. Soft, just that she had become very lean."Stop staring, I'm no longer fine again. I can't face you." She croaked and began to cough violently. Dominic quickly pressed the bell that was close to him and at the end of the day, he saw that she was feeling very tired. He planted kisses on her face. As a General, there were a few things that made him emotional but she was one of them. He didn

Make sure you shoot him now, you must not allow him to escape." He told the people who were standing and looking. Pauo smiled thinking that Todd was referring to Dominic. "Yes, blow his brains out."The soldiers turned in his direction and cocked their guns, making him surprised. His eyes darted towards Todd. "what is happening?" He inquired but was met with silence. He flared up. " Put those guns down!""You don't control us anymore!" One of the soldiers yelled and he was shocked to the bone. "What the hell is this?!" "Exactly what we should have done the very first time! We shout "have killed you the moment you took Selena." Another soldier responded.Paul was stunned and moved back a little. Everything was crumbling before his very eyes. "You can't be serious right now! Are you kidding me right now? You would save this man over me? The man who taught you everything you know? The man who had made you into who you're? That's ridiculous!" The soldiers drew out another gun and flas

Selena woke up in a strange bed and saw a man tapping a syringe slowly before clipping the needle to it. Her eyes widened in horror but she wasn't able to move. It seemed like her legs were stuck and all that she could do was to just protest in her head."Where am I God?" She wondered internally. Her tongue was almost clipped to the roof and all she could pray for was to be free. She didn't know what to do. She was feeling tied down and helpless. "Don't move darling, you're about to join the people above, greet your beloved father." The man in scrubs said and she became afraid. The heart monitor beeped loudly and the doctor stared at it before glancing at her in horror."You are not supposed to be alive darling because you'll only endanger yourself. Why don't you use the same energy to make sure that you sing well when you get to heaven or hell? I can't wait to see you dancing with the people on high. I hear it's fun though, what do you think?"

Dominic was trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea and he hoped that he didn't hit his head. He smiled and sought a solution. It was as if this was a distraction and he was ready to make sure that he wasn't being played. "Are you sure that you're here for me?" He inquired. He didn't want a situation whereby he'd have to undergo a fight that would stop him from seeing through their escapades."I don't think that you're ready for what's about to hit you though. Now that you're trapped, what do you have to say?" Paul replied.Dominic considered his next movement, these men were heavily guarded, doing anything unseemly was surely going to backfire and with the way things were going, he was trying his very best to make sure that he didn't fall into their trap."Since you already have me in your custody, what else can I say other than surrender? What do you really want?" Paul wasn't satisfied with that reaction, he wanted to see Dominic get vexed and expend his energy on nothing

Dominic rose faster than lightning because he panicked, not knowing what to do when he saw the building on fire. There was no way that she could remain in that building, he was damn sure of that but that still didn't give him all the assurance that he needed because he was feeling very scared. This was very tricky and he only hoped that he hadn't made a mistake in his calculations.The other boss watched the General almost sink to his knees in despair because, for the very first time, he had been outsmarted, it wasn't a very palatable sight to behold but there was nothing that could be done about that. It was either that or he continued feeling invincible.Dominic gazed around in despair, his brain trying to process all that happened but nothing was even coming up, making him look a fool. Who had taken Selena's body?He heard a cough and he stiffened."Oh, how the mighty has fallen! I see that it's not an easy sight for you to stomach that your plans had become botched but I guess it

Upon touching down in Venice, he refused to be tired of the way people often loved to behave when they arrived at s strange place. It was almost as if everyone could spot that the person was new to town and that usually brought about not having access to the right information or being cheated. He knew that they were somewhere here but that didn't matter if he didn't find them. That was most important to him."Hi, what are you looking for?" A trader called after him and he looked up to see other traders staring at him and he switched to their language causing them to be astonished by the way that he was speaking as if he was a local "That way, I didn't know that you speak." The man replied with pure English but he still wanted to buy their trust because he knew that it wasn't going to turn out well if he just headed toward the city without having a form of belonging here. With the way things were going, he might need to stay for a while at least to get to know the inner workings of t

Marcel tried to peep through his brother's phone when he saw his countenance suddenly grow cold. He didn't need anyone to tell him that there was a problem. "They've been taken right? Or are they dead?" Marcel panicked, causing him to roll his eyes at the attitude. There were other ways to act but his brother was taking the cake. A full grown man who was acting as if he didn't know that they were involved in a combat and that it didn't ease up just like that. "You don't need to worry about anything because I'll make sure that you don't suffer from anything. Just do what I ask that you should. So, will you be able to handle this information or I need to find another partner." "I don't think I can bear to live apart from the woman that I love so much."Dominic rolled his eyes at the whimpering attitude that his brother was portraying, other people would even barf at the ridiculousness because it truly was and he was ashamed of it. He would rather that there was something else that he
