Dominic didn't respond to the question immediately instead he took his time before answering her. He saw the fear in her eyes and knew that his answer was either going to scare her or make her stay and sincerely, he wanted to see what her reaction would be."What do you think?" He replied.Selena held a breath as she tried to figure out what to say. Her mind said one thing while the other told her another. "I'm sure that if I knew, I wouldn't be asking such a question." She replied.Dominic went mute because he didn't want to engage in a word battle with her but he was also not in the state to have such a conversation with her." "I've killed quite a number of people. It's part of my job description."Selena nodded pretending not to be a bit spooked by his answers. "Okay, can I get an estimate? I know you can't remember all of them but...""Three thousand."Her jaw went slack. "What?""That's what it is. I've killed numerous people in my lifetime and it won't stop soon. As long as I g
"What, I can't go back? I think I'm safer here than anywhere and that's the truth. Everyone would want to kill me back at home and I can't have that happening." Selena refused his idea. She was not going to leave now especially when she had seen how life could be. If he was ready to kill all his enemies, it was better that she was closer instead of being far away."You will not argue with me on this, Selena. I'll send ten guards with you. Give or take, I'll be back in three days." She shook her head frantically at his offer she was never going to take it. He must think that he knew the best thing for her when in fact, he didn't. "I will stay here with you. I am not going anywhere." She insisted, staring at him in the eyes and he became pissed at the way she was acting. He was not ready to have her life on his hands. It would have been better if she stayed back.He cocked his head and felt very tired about her. She was stubborn, he'd give her that, but he didn't need it right now. Th
After a few hours of pleading from Selena, Dominic finally allowed her to be and not later introduce her to his people. He found reason in her points. She didn't want to be exposed unduly to the wolves, well he tried convincing her that his people were fairly loyal but she had made up her mind."Have a great day." She said with a smile and leaned upward to kiss him.He noticed that after her initial shyness wore off, she became very open around him and it got him wondering what had changed so drastically. "yeah, you too." She chuckled and waved him off. "Well, I don't know... I'm going to be holed up inside here, doing nothing. Not like I'm complaining though, I'm just saying. Is there a place I can cook? I'm really famished." She smiled sheepishly. They had spent the day necking and doing what couples did, he managed to take her to heights that she didn't know she could reach too. But this time, she was less noisy. That was also one of the main reasons that she refused to allow him
Lily stepped into the office with a judgmental look on her face as he stared at the duo. She was disappointed in Emily for she thought that she was very prudent and decent. It was obvious now that she was like other women who were easily swayed by sweet words from men and it annoyed her greatly. "Let me see you, Emily." Emily hated the condescending tone with which she was spoken to but decided to ignore her. " I don't think you should just barge into my office." Lily folded her arms and gazed at Todd who was also staring at her with the same look of anger on his face and she burst into laughter. These people were jokers. She had never seen anything like this in her life. How would someone be so stupid enough to allow a man to deceive them to feel as though they were on top of the world and whatnot?"I'm sure you know that you can't say this to the boss and I'm representing the boss." "Of course, we do and we have no choice about but it doesn't make it right. You walk about with y
Dominic read under the dim light at midnight while glancing at Selena at intervals to see how she fared. She was busy typing on her laptop since there was no problem with the network provider. "Have you seen the message that the company sent to us again? I think that someone we know is behind it. They got our secret codes and sent them to the agent who in turn makes them seem genuine." Selena began."Who did you give access to the company's details?" "I don't know, I didn't give it to anyone. I just gave Emily the codes two days ago." She replied. Dominic whipped around as though he had been bitten by a rattlesnake. His gaze strolled over her face in disbelief as he tried to calm down and hear the full brief. "You did what?" Selena, like a student before the principal, rose immediately and folded her arms across each other. "I did when we were coming on this trip." She explained.He stared at her as though she was speaking French. " This is ridiculous. How come I was not informed?
Before dawn, Dominic had made his way down the block. He didn't want Selena to be aware of the investigation he was conducting hence the reason for the secrecy. He went to the next building opposite him and finally rested against the door. His eyes were a bit tired from exhaustion after the lack of sleep the previous night Pulling out his phone from his pocket, he called his friend. He should be free by now since it was the only time that they were allowed to sleep."Hello, Martel." He spoke.Martel was taken aback by the audacity of the person who called him by his name. This person had to know him deeply to be able to call him by a name that he had forgotten to use." Who am I speaking with?" Dominic chuckled, " Relax, it's me, Dominic. I know that you might already be panicking. I don't see any reason why though." He replied.Martel chuckled, "Well, one has to be very vigilant. You know my real name, I need to be scared. When you call, I know it's something urgent. What happened
Dominic felt a kick in his guts to check out the environment. It was still midnight and no one was outside yet. He stared at the soldiers quarters and saw that there was no light coming out from that place. This was a recipe for disaster. No one needed to tell him that. He quickly jogged to the trailer and locked it from without. He was just to go there and return as soon as possible.These soldiers were a bit careless. How were they supposed to oversee the city when they were physically present?He removed his gun from his pocket slowly and he saw that there was a need for him to check out the back of the cantonment.Now there was something that oppositions should realize about him. He was not someone who was predictable.If they thought that he'd step into the middle of the gate so that they could strike, they were up for a big joke and it was very laughable that they'd want to try him. As he continued, he heard a little snap and he rolled against the floor crawling slowly. The pe
The man fell to the ground and Dominic held him up. "Who sent you?" He asked in a deathly calm voice that would make any sensible person know that something was going on here.The man tried to wiggle his way out of Dominic's grip because he knew what happened to him. He was doomed while thinking that he was still alive. "I hate to repeat myself. If you know that you don't have something to say, may I send you to a place where you'd say more than what's expected of you." He said and the man gulped.His gaze was unsettling. How the hell did the General know where he was in this thick darkness? "I asked a question. I'm expecting an answer." Dominic asked again. There was a reason he was better than many Generals. He allowed his captives to express themselves. Then after seeing that they had nothing to offer he threw them out and sent them to where they belonged. "I was sent by a man. I have never seen him before in my life. I swear! He contacted me via messenger and told me about a co
