Chapter 5

DOMINIC’s POV,

I watch her walk out of the door and I clench my jaw together, my eyes not leaving the mute girl. The red dress is hugging her figure perfectly, one I didn’t know existed underneath those baggy clothes I have seen her with since yesterday. She is thick and thin in the right places, her stomach so small that I can wrap one of my hands around her. Legs so beautiful and straight, she could pass for an international model and give the best of them a run for their money. From the curves of her hips, I can already imagine how her ass would be and I swallow hard..what the hell? My eyes travel to her face and I let out a sigh. She is bare with any kind of makeup but that didn’t stop her from looking beautiful and how the hell is her hair so long?

Right at this particular moment, everything about this woman is dangerous yet daring. With each step she takes towards me, I notice the wince on her face. She is not comfortable in those heels. Did she never wear them?

Greece comes to a halt in front of me, her eyes bearing into mine but she doesn’t say a word, not like she can actually speak though.

“Tonight you will be going with me” my voice comes out in a hoarse tone, surprising me. I have been with a lot of beautiful women so I shouldn’t be this drawn to her.

I wipe my hand over my face, trying to calm my erratic breathing. Greece is dangerous when she looks sexy, I should keep that at the back of my mind.

“You do not need Amira with you, you will be sticking to me all night. The only thing you need to do is sit there and look pretty, am I understood? Nod if you understand me”

She rolls her eyes and nods.

“Good, now get into the car”

The black Rolls Royce suddenly feels small with her in the backseat. She has not looked at me since we left the house but I know she is aware of my presence. Her jaw has been clenched together since we left the house and that’s genuinely not my problem. I just hope this meeting goes as planned and I won’t have to hurt anyone.

Half an hour later, the car pulls up in front of Moren, one of Rome’s biggest clubs of which I am also a shareholder. This is where almost all our deals get down and it is strictly by membership, no tout is allowed in here.

One of my men rushes to open the door for her while I alight, my gaze not leaving her.I drink in the sight of the environment, no sign of danger. Good!

“Do not forget what I said” I whisper to her, thrusting out my arm.

Greece looks at me for a split second before clasping her hand over mine and we both make our way towards the entrance.

“Good evening, Mr Changretta” the host by the door greets as her eyes travel to Greece who has not even spared her a glance. An attitude, nice one!

“I see you came with company today”

“Of course”

Not waiting for her response, we both step into the large hall that is already half full.

“Look who we have here” Santiago, Moren’s biggest shareholder says as he starts walking towards us, a huge grin on his face, “i thought you wouldn’t make it”

He thrusts out his hand and I grudgingly take it, I watch as his eyes travel to Greece and he immediately bites down on his lips lightly.

“And you came with a friend” he extends his hands towards her and she gives me a glance which makes me nod.

After about two seconds, she finally takes his hand and Santiago brings it to his lips, pressing a kiss on it.

“You always have the finest women, Dominic” he says, his eyes still on her, “but she is by far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, my friend”

“Take your eyes off her” I grit in between my teeth and he lets out a little chuckle, letting go of her hand.

“Bastian will be here soon”

Bastian is the man I have come to see. The goddess helps him that he comes here a minute late and I will send his body back to his wife.

“How about you let your Tesoro seat for a while, I would get someone to bring her the best wine that has been brewed by me”

“More like poison?” I scoff and he rolls his eyes. I have known Santiago for the longest time and you can say he is my friend because the term best friend sounds a little intense.

“Well, this place will be littered with corpse if anyone dares to touch her”

I don’t bother to answer him, I only turn to the lady beside me who looks like she would rather be anywhere but here.

“I have a few people to meet, you will wait for me in the vip area”

Greece looks at me but does not say anything.

“I will lead the way” Santiago blurts out and we start walking towards the vip area

A few people are already seated there and we exchange pleasantries, I watch as all their eyes settle on Greece. She is not even trying, they are already falling at her feet. It seems like she might end up paying her father’s debt before I know it.

She sits down in a secluded area, her eyes still on me. This girl is doing things to me, things my body is not even supposed to react to.

“The best wine for the lady of the night” Santiago’s voice cuts through my train of thought. This fucker!! Can’t he keep his voice to his fucking self?

“Help yourself to some, Amore” he says to her with a wink and I glare at him which makes him scratch the back of his head awkwardly.

“I will be back soon” I tell her but she doesn’t react in any way. Cursing underneath my breath, I walk away and I hear Santiago behind me.

“It seems she is not happy with you”

“Why don’t you mind your fucking business?” I grit my teeth in anger, “and let’s get to business, I don’t have all the time in this world to spend here”

“Must you always be so guarded?” he throws me a friendly glare and I roll my eyes. If only he knows how annoyed I am right now, he won’t be making such jokes at me.

“Bastian just arrived” Fernando’s voice filters through my ear.

“Got that”

“Fernando is here” I tell Santiago, “we better get this over with today”

“Sure, let’s go to the poker room. I am sure he is headed there”

I exchange a few words with some friends as we enter the poker room but even after five minutes, that bastard has not shown up yet. Where the hell is he?

“Padrino” someone calls behind me and I turn around to see one of his men, “Sebastian said to meet him in the vip lounge”

“What? Will he keep me waiting?” My eyes darken at the thought of that. I have been the head of this family for ten years now, he should know better than get into my bad books.

“He sent his apologies, Padrino. Apparently he met a Bella donna in the vip section and he is afraid she might leave if he walks away from her”

At the mention of a beautiful woman, my mind immediately drifts off to Greece. She is the only beautiful woman in that section today. Yes, I know that. I will fucking kill him if he lays a hand on her.

“It seems he found her,” Santiago whispers to me.

“Bastardo!” I mutter under my breath before storming out of the poker room.

Imagine my surprise when I walk into the vip section and I see her laughing at something he has said. What? Is he funny? Why is she smiling at him? I thought I told her to stay put and don’t do anything if I don’t ask her?

She suddenly reminds me of her, my ex wife. I haven’t thought about her in seven years and now… what the hell? Why is she smiling at some random stranger like that?

“What is funny?” I ask, my jaw clenching together. I have finally had enough of them, “I want to join in on the fun”

“Oh, Dominic” Sebastian’s smile widens, “forgive me for not coming to the poker room as usual, i just couldn’t leave this beautiful woman alone. I thought i would keep her company”

“You thought wrong, Bastian” my eyes remain on him as I plop down beside her and she gasps, she is obviously aware of my presence just like I am aware of hers,

“Because this bella donna that you can not keep your eyes off is my woman!”

Her head immediately whips towards me but her face remains expressionless.

“So you better take your dirty eyes off of her or I am going to screw you over, do you get that?”

“She didn’t tell me she was with you”

“And now I am telling you” i immediately drape my hand over her shoulder, pulling her closer to me, “now let’s get down to business”

Sebastian’s eyes remain on her, this sleaze bag. He has a wife yet he is ogling someone else.

“Of course” his lips finally tilt into a smile, “I shouldn’t have known that no beautiful lady like this would be single”

“I like that” I place my hand on her bare thighs and Greece freezes, her whole body tenses up.

“Now shall we?” I don’t bother sparing her a glance, I do not want to be reminded of my fucking ex wife. Why the hell did the moon goddess give me a mate if she knew she would not last? Greece’s danger level has increased by two percent, I need to keep an eye on her.

“The arms will be coming in next week” Sebastian starts to talk but my entire attention is on the woman beside me and how hot her body is underneath my touch.
