Elena's POVHe did it. He really did compare me to a slut, to a whore. I never knew or expected that our argument was going to escalate to such a level, but when it did, I felt my pain dig deeper inside me.When Selene told me those things in the car, about how he treated women, I didn't want to believe it. I was angry, and I felt irritated when I got the description, but somewhere inside, a part of me didn't want to believe what Selene said was true—and it was because of the kiss. I still had doubts. But now, his words had confirmed it.Yet, I felt down. Even though I wasn't sure exactly why, but I wasn't angry or worried any longer. I was sad. And the sensation was becoming more evident as I took a minute to recollect the whole thing. Not just when he insulted me.I looked at my hand, and it twitched on its own when I remembered what I used it to do—slap Dominic. I didn't plan it. I was just unable to restrain myself after hearing those unexpected words from him. He was pained, and

Dominic's POVI couldn't believe that's how meeting her to clear things up would go. If anything, things had gotten worse than they were.It was not my intention, but eventually, this is how things unfolded.I looked at the medication in my hands, and I didn't feel like taking them. Even if I did, I'd probably have an overdose. With the way I felt, I'd need something to take away this pain, to numb my sensations if possible.I was angry with myself again for obvious reasons. Elena made it so. But even then, I knew inside that I wasn't acting like I was supposed to. My reactions, attitude, and character — totally off.Elena wanted to leave this place. She'd say so boldly with her mouth, so I know that much. That she didn't have anything tying her down here. But I felt like that's what fueled my anger inside. Not only did she want to leave, but that also meant she didn't feel the same way I did about her, and that just seemed to raise my anger even more.Thinking back at it now, I proba

Dominic POVIt took me about half an hour to get myself back in a calm state. I felt regretful, yes, but if I didn't face it now, I would just keep carrying them about and continue to be cranky—and that was initially what made James suspicious about me loving Elena.I had to address it. It wasn't going to help if I sat on the floor waiting for something like a miracle to happen. Not that I believed in that to begin with. I stood to my feet and picked my handkerchief off the ground. I looked like a mess, but I did my best to adjust my shirt, tie and collar and took a deep breath before leaving my office.I shut the door and walked over to Elena room. The guards that moved around and the surrounding maids greeted me, but I didn't respond to them. I just kept going until I finally got to her room door.I was some feet away from the door when I heard people talking inside. I paused, wondering who it could be, but eventually, I decided to draw closer and eavesdrop to get my answer."You've

Dominic POVI did not know what had gotten into James this afternoon, but I wasn't ready to entertain such direct confrontation from him. What had entered him, I do not know—but I would not tolerate it."You are treading a very thin line, James. I suggest that you stop with your approach and do as I told you to—leave my office," I warned, but my words didn't seem to fuel any fear. He just stood there, unfazed."My behavior is disrespectful. I'm sorry boss, I truly am. But this is an issue I have come to realize that I have to address. If not, it's not going to work out for our benefit. It is only going to make our enemies succeed and our plans fall through," James said, and I kept my gaze, radiating my anger hot at him."This woman—she's becoming your weakness, and it has become visibly evident to me. That is why I’ve decided to speak up against it before it is too late," James said."Say what you have in mind, James. Say it," I dared, and he gulped and replied."Elena has taken too m

Selene POVDominic hadn't answered my question. It had been a full five minutes since I asked, yet he hadn't given me an answer or even said a word. He was still thinking, but that made my heart pound even more as the minutes went by. Why was he still thinking?Dominic sighed and looked at me, and I saw he was ready to respond to my question. I steeled myself as best as I could—so if what he wanted to say would hurt me, even a little, I would be able to take it. I hoped so.“If I'm being real, Selene, I don't know,” Dominic replied to me, and my face squeezed up.“What do you not know?” I asked.“What you just asked me about. That is, my feelings for Elena. I can't give you a definite answer,” Dominic said, and I was disappointed.“Why can't you? She's just taking up space. This should be an easy decision to make,” I said. My anger was starting to show in my words, but he didn't care about that.I noticed it. Ever since he barged into my room before, telling me I needed to go on an ou
