"You can also leave, I don't need your services," Dominic commanded Marcus who stood beside him, hiding as the people of the Czech city ran back for shelter. There was definitely no way that he could have gotten out of that risky situation had it not been for Dominic. "But, sir..." "You cease occupying that position with immediate effect. You are a coward. What would have happened if I didn't take control? If I was a spineless bud like you?" Dominic cut him short. These weren't people to rely on because it was certain that they'd fail at the slightest glimpse of an attack so it was better to steer clear from them. That way it would save everyone from unnecessary headaches. "Sir, I promise to be on my best behavior, I will not run away. I was scared." Dominic whirled around and the words died on Marcus's lips. Oops! He slammed a hand across his lips. That was a Freudian slip and one that could cause irreparable damage to him if he really wanted to take it up. "You were scared?" Do
"Darling, are you the owner of that car? It's so beautiful." Grandma spoke from the doorway cutting their banter off. The in-laws straightened their spines and gave Grandma a smile pretending to be at peace with each other."Yes, Grandma. My fiance bought it for me, he's the best thing that has ever happened to me." Selena replied enthusiastically, rubbing her excitement in Silas' face. "I mean a lot of people belittled him when I first brought him home but right now they can only wish that they are in my shoes. Sadly, they can't because it's not my fault that they are not use to doing the right thing nor meeting with the right people." Grandma hid her smile, she knew what Selena was pointing out and she didn't feel remorseful about it one bit. The only problem she had with Dominic was the seeming fact that he was broke but now that he turned out to be rich, she wouldn't mind a car of her own. "Anyway, we thank God that he turned out great, but this is just a tip of the iceberg, I
Meanwhile, Dominic sneaked around the house and cocked his gun. The house didn't seem heavily guarded but he still couldn't just barge in there because it could be hazardous, his mind tried to come up with an innovative idea that could help him in getting into that place as soon as possible. It needed to be almost immediately.His boots scrunched against the grass and some gravel, resounding through the entire land area. It would alert them that a stranger was around and that would have destroyed all of the things that he planned on doing right now. The kidnapper had spotted Dominic right from afar and was waiting to see what would happen. He smiled at Eleanor who Shivered in her boots. " Oh, your lover is coming for you." He said.A dash of hope flickered in her heart as she already knew who he was talking about. There was only one person who would ensure that she was okay. "He's not my lover.""Don't you wish that he was?" The man taunted her and she rolled her eyes at his assumpti
Cowards! Bunch of fucking cowards! He muttered under his breath before looking around. He squared his haw as he stared at Dominic who was smiling. "So, what are you going to do now? Kill me off? Like you do with all your opponents? Is that what you want to do right now?" He replied cheekily and Dominic kept on staring with a straight face and was not even saying anything that tangible.He walked into the firing range, daring Dominic to shoot him. " So, what are you going to do, Dominic?" He challenged him while signaling to his aide to immediately come here and take that wide shot at him.Dominic, understanding what was going on was staring at him while turning in the direction he looked subtly. "you can also tell him to leave because I won't hesitate to destroy him." He flung the warning carelessly expecting that whoever was sensible enough would learn fast and know how to detach themselves from problems. the kidnapper refused to tell him to leave because it was his only chance at
Eleanor grabbed the gun that she had managed to obtain from one of the dead men and quickly began to shoot. Dominic also turned swiftly, his hands also triggering the person who tried to shoot them. His gaze rested on him and finally saw where he was hiding. There were still a few people who were still lurking in the tree. So it was meant to be an ambush! He figured and didn't say anything about it. Eleanor was going to run out of bullets that way, the best way not to show that you had anything up your sleeves. His eyes took a wide roam about the environment and finally made sure that he was not at a disadvantage. His eyes zoomed in on a figure that seemed to be lurking around the corner waiting for him to move away from him.Then in swift movement, he turned and fired a shot at it. He was praying that it would be enough to take down the man who was up there. "I'm going after him, can you take care of yourself?" He inquired from Eleanor who was busy rolling on the floor as she mov
Selena was so elated when she opened the door that night and saw Dominic standing on the porch with his arms in his pocket and a flower in his hands. "You're here." She grinned and threw her hands across his shoulders, embracing him and inhaling his scent but she noticed something about him. He was a bit stiff, not as receptive as he used to be and she was a bit gob-smacked."Are you okay? Was the trip okay? Where is Eleanor?" She stopped talking when she saw Eleanor standing at the car and waving at her. She took another glance at him before whispering. "Eleanor is okay, why are you behaving as though there was a problem? Did anyone die? Your warriors?" She fired at him but Dominic didn't reply She began to panic and wonder what was wrong with him. She yelped when he lifted her from the ground and kissed her deeply. " What is going on?" She replied after blinking from the daze of the aftermath."I missed you, let's go. Eleanor would drive your car home." He replied and she stared
"You can come in already ma'am." A lady whom Selena was guessing was a secretary told her when she walked into the consortium the next morning.Dominic had gone to work before she woke up and when she was leaving, Eleanor told her that he had requested that she be brought here. She pushed the door open slowly and saw Dominic standing in the middle of the lobby probably waiting for her and she stared at him warily. " What happened to us not coming here yet?" She cocked her head and he chuckled at her words.Of course, she was going to think that it wouldn't come to actualization after all these years of promising her but he was here to surprise her. " Well, you are here now and I don't think anyone has the right to question your presence. Let's go. The head of the consortium is waiting for us." He said and stretched out his palm.Selena's heels clicked against the tiles as she followed him into the elevator. " This is so surreal." She whispered when she saw a bunch of employees starin
Dominic chuckled at the stupidity that his soon-in-laws always loved portraying. It didn't baffle him that they would always find a way to make sure that it looked like they won and it made him always laugh them to scorn."Camara you should caution your fiance. He can't go around embarrassing himself everywhere he goes. It's improper." Selena slammed her sister.Camara's eyes narrowed at her sister who was feeling very pompous just because she was riding an exotic car."I don't think this discussion is for you. It's man-to-man. Let them speak. I know that you probably have some money stashed somewhere that you're using to fund this lifestyle. I won't be here to sympathize with you when the bank comes knocking." Dominic smirked at the duo who had allowed bitterness to est into them deeply that they were beginning to have a distorted view of things. " I don't have the time for this." He said and dragged Selena along. Gone are the times when he exchanged words with such persons. They h
