Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 143. Forced proximity
Dominic shuts his eyes and turns away as if I’ve hurt him more than words could say.Then he turns back and opens his eyes; they are red with unshed tears.He stares at me, drinking in the sight of my face even as I look at him with indifference. “Jess,” he calls. “How could you have moved on so completely when I’m still drowning in regrets? How come you’ve moved on so fast when I literally can’t live without you? Just how?”I turn away from him and let Allister lead me into the restaurant. We’ve just settled into our seats when I spot Dominic speaking to a man occupying the table next to ours.The restaurant is built in an old-fashioned style that puts tables in pairs, keeping two different tables in proximity.“Can you give me your table? I’ll pay,” Dominic says to the man, his voice carrying clearly to our table.The man’s eyes light up with interest. “My table is expensive,” the man says. “How much can you pay?”“A thousand dollars, is that enough?” Dominic replies without hesita

~Jess~“I can’t believe you still remember this place, Alli,” I say, shaking my head as Allister and I walk toward one of my favorite restaurants back when I was still in UniHe had insisted on taking me out for a meal, since he is perfectly healed now.Philip has informed me that Allister is fit to return to his normal lifestyle, but advises that he eases into it gradually, so I decided that it's time I head home.But Allister insisted that he wants to take me out for a meal before driving me home.Unknown to me, he planned on bringing me over to my favorite restaurant as an undergraduate in medicine.“You like?” he asks, and I nod, memories of my time as an undergraduate med student dropping off here to pick a quick spaghetti dish in a takeaway Pack carefully prepared by one of my then favorite chef, Galileo, who passed away during my finals.“It brings back cute memories,” I reply to Allister.“I know,” he says, his voice softening as he places his hand gently at the small of my b
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 141. Two familiar figures
Just like she promised, my mother sent the contact number, and I forwarded a text to the number.ME: [I am Dom, and I am interested.]I stare at my phone, waiting to get a reply. Five minutes later, nothing.I’ve almost given up hope when my phone’s message tone beeps. I stare at the instructions on my phone, completely taken aback by such a level of evil.My reflection stares back from the black screen, reminding me of who I am. I can't possibly do any of the things she is asking of me.I can't… I won't…I may want Allister Blackwaters dead, but not at the expense of other people’s tears.Instead of forwarding a reply, I turn off my phone and slip it into my pocket.No, I’m not doing it.A knock at my door breaks the silence. My best friend Tommy pushes in.“Dominic! Damn, this place is elite!”I’ve forgotten that he was supposed to come in today, and I even sent him a code for the front desk.“You like it?” I ask him.Tommy came over to Silver Valley the other day with the engagemen
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 140. The problem is Allister Blackwaters
I push off the wall and begin pacing again.“No, I don’t want to give up. I love her, Mom. Jess is kind. She’s so different from any girl I know. When things were good between us, she loved me like her entire life depended on it. She gives me her time, and she could sacrifice anything just to make me happy.”I swallow hard, my emotions welling up.“Sadly, I didn’t appreciate her for everything she did for me. She didn't deserve the way I treated her. Sometimes I wonder if I treated her that way because she loved me way too much. It's possible, right?”Silence lingers on the line.Then my mother speaks in a gentle tone. “I treated her terribly, too, son. Even though she was the reason I was enjoying great health at the time. We don’t need to blame ourselves. She shares the greater part of the blame, you know.”“What do you mean?”“She lied to us. She deceived us into thinking she was a poor Omega. If we knew she was the Hamit-Beta heiress, we would have treated her like the royalty she
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 139. Do you want to give up?
~Dominic~I pace the length of my living room, my phone pressed tightly against my ear, listening to my mother speak impatiently at the other end of the line.“Why is it taking this long, Dom?”I drag a hand through my hair, a characteristic action of mine whenever I’m too stressed.“It’s not as simple as you think,” I tell her. “Jess isn’t the same anymore.”“What do you mean she’s not the same anymore? Wasn’t it just a few months ago that she left Westwood? What significant change would have occurred within such a space of time?”I stop pacing and shut my eyes. “Mom, I proposed to her.”My words must have taken her by surprise. She pauses before asking, “She’s wearing your ring now?”I let out a humorless chuckle. “She’s already wearing the Lycan King’s ring.” The words taste bitter as they leave my lips.“Dear Moon Goddess!” My mother exclaims. A few seconds pass before she adds, “That means nothing.”I frown. “What?”“An engagement ring does not make her his Luna, Dom. It’s more l
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 138. Back to my reality
It’s been a while since I visited my private apartment, and I've never let anyone into this place. So, coming here with Jess feels so…It’s been two days since I got discharged from the hospital, and she’s yet to let me out of her sight.As much as I love every single time spent with her, I have to get back to my reality.Someone attacked me on one of the best days of my life. I need to get to the root of it. But I don’t want to do anything with Jess around.I already lied to her that the police are on the matter, and so far, they're saying it's an attack from one of the gangs operating within Ashmere city.That the attack was their way of trying to dissuade me from getting rid of them from Silver ValleyShe, of course, became alarmed that such men would dare attack us just to stop me from raiding them out of Silver Valley.But I assured her that the police and I were on it, and we won't stop until we rid Silver Valley of these gangs.The excuse was better than any other excuse I coul
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 32. Surprise Party
I look at both my friends, their fierce loyalty touching me deeply. “It’s all in the past now. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s just go upstairs and have this partyyy. Allister is waiting.”The hotel manager personally walks ahead of us, making an imaginary path for us with his hands. It's a sign of r
