I walked beside Dominic as we stepped out of the boardroom.

Silence immediately followed us and it was not comfortable but rather heavy with something that lingers... like watching.

Thinking about it gives me chills but also kind of exciting.

"You spoke too soon."

His voice was calm and controlled as always.

I didn't look at him and kept walking beside him, "Because it mattered."

"That's not the point, Mrs. Hemenez."

I finally looked at him and for a moment, I was lost in his gaze as he

    "H-hey, we were just kidding. We're not actually serious."I laughed nervously."Wife." Dominic looked at me."Are we getting arrested?" I mouthed.Dominic stared at me before he smiled reassuringly.Who would have thought Dominic would smile at me like this even if we are on the verge of getting arrested?The man who claimed for us to be arrested chuckled.What is happening?"It never really gets old, huh?"I looked at the man. Is he a friend of Dominic?"You almost had me. Really." Dominic wiped the side of his lips with a napkin."I will get you next time.""You have been saying that for the past 26 years."Twenty-six years? That's a long time.I stared at the two of them. I don't know what to say. I don't even know who this man is.I was about to open my mouth to ask what was happening when Dominic suddenly reached for my hand."Henry, this is Lilary. My wife."Wife.I felt butterflies inside my stomach, and I actually felt my cheeks starting to heat up."Oh, so this is she." The

    "Can you take this back? I appreciate the compliment but I don't want to drink this respectfully.""I apologize, ma'am, but we have a policy here-""She is married. Take the goddamn drink back."Dominic's voice was so sharp that the waiter actually flinched."R-right away sir."The waiter hurriedly took the drinks back and left immediately."Who sent it though?" I mumbled as I started to look around."Interested?""No. Just curious." I looked at Dominic, "What about you?""No.""Why?" "Because you are married to me."My heart did a sudden flip.What did he just say?Why does he always say something like that? It's frustrating how my heart always go wild.What are you doing to me Dominic?Am I really falling for you?ANNA'S POV"Don't you dare walk out on me, Francis!" I said firmly."You don't have any rights to decide what I do." he reached for the doorknob.My hands formed into a clench."How dare you talk to me like that?" I said as I stepped closer to him."You're not Lilary. Th

    I glanced at Dominic, who was fixing his sleeves.I still can't get over what happened earlier. I did not expect that.I put down my comb and applied red lipstick. I pressed my lips together and smiled.My red dress hugged my curves, and it also matched my makeup perfectly.I stood up and walked past Dominic before opening the walk-in closet and choosing a four-inch nude heel.I stared at myself in the mirror and tried to keep myself calm.I can't believe Dominic and I are going out to dinner. It's like a date.The thought somehow made the butterflies dance in my stomach.I sighed as I realized that anyone could approach us at any time to ask about Francis's conference. Although the rumors were already starting to die down, I still couldn't shake off the feeling."I might as well cancel the reservation."My head turned toward the door, and I saw Dominic leaning on the doorframe, looking... refreshed.He was wearing a tailored two-piece suit in a warm, light beige, with the cut featuri

    "Ma'am, as much as I want to tell you, I can't."I rolled my eyes secretly. "Come on, this is just between us. I won't tell Dominic—""Like what I said when I helped you get the master comfortable after he fell asleep?" He raised his eyebrow, his hands behind his back.I scratched the side of my head. "That was an accident. I was trying to convince him to attend his late wife's death anniversary.""Ma'am, I apologize—""Are you really going to ruin my morning by not telling me what I want to know?"I watched as his face tightened, and I smiled secretly.Gotcha!"Mrs. Hemenez, it was the master's order that we don't tell anyone what his childhood was like," Gregory said calmly.Or so I thought. What a bummer."You're just as stubborn as Dominic—""Thank you.""Uh, no. I was actually going to say it's annoying."He looked at me, surprised. "No wonder the master agreed to marry you." He turned around to leave."What? Hey! Get back here!"I ran to catch up to him when his pace suddenly in

    "Something wrong?"I looked up at Dominic in surprise. "No, not at all."He stared at me for a second too long before focusing back on his meeting.He looks so intimidating, as always, but why does it suit him? Has he been like this since he was a child?What's up with his childhood that Gregory is so afraid to talk about?Now I'm curious, but you know what they say, curiosity kills the cat.Why am I even thinking about this?I just hope that he doesn't realize I am lying, as I am sure that he will remind me again of his one and only condition in our marriage that I always break.Something in me is screaming to not let Dominic know, as he already has a lot on his plate.Am I making the right decision, though?Who knew marrying Dominic would be this chaotic?I bit my inner cheek as I archived the email. I will tell him, just not now.Is it really true that the Dawsons are afraid Dominic will have a new heir? I mean, if I were in their situation, I would feel that way too, but do they r

    An invitation for me? For Francine's death anniversary?Why would there be an invitation for me? Isn't it inappropriate?I bit my lower lip as I stared at my name written in elegant cursive.Dominic and I are currently discussing whether to go or not, but it seems like Dominic's mind is already made up."We are not going.""What? Why?" I closed the invitation card."It's not convenient."I crossed my arms. "Gregory told me last night how you always wanted to go to Francine's tomb."His gaze sharpened. "That doesn't mean we are going."I rolled my eyes. "I give up." I threw my arms in the air in surrender.There is no way I am winning an argument with this man."Good."I sat on the couch opposite where he was sitting.I swear I sometimes get emotionally tired of arguing with Dominic. How hard is it to convince this man of steel?I looked at Dominic as he flipped a page of the book he was reading.I unknowingly tilted my head. He looks so intimidating that it makes me wonder if he's alw

    Dominic left me five minutes ago to think, and I kept reading the records over and over again.I went through everything the files could give. Dates. Amounts. Signatures. Transfers. Everything.I closed my eyes tightly for a brief moment.How come I was so naive not to notice these signs?My head w

    I slowly handed the tablet back to Dominic, my hand shaking slightly.I bit my inner cheek slightly.I don't know why my hand is shaking. It is because I was nervous? Is it excitement? I don't know.He took it without a word."So I officially got my first threat? That's an achievement after being m

    I sat by the window in the small office adjacent to Dominic's study. I've been studying the same set of numbers for what felt like a hundred times. My pen tapped slightly against the documents spread in front of me. I studied what was written. Transaction summaries, account movements and cross-re

    I woke up with the mansion quieter than usual.It was not peaceful. It felt controlled.There was an obvious difference.I noticed it the moment I stepped out of my room.The staff moved differently today. Not slower. Not faster. Just... careful. Like they had been given instructions.It made sense
