Chapter 13

Author: Axcellent
Isabella crouched and slipped off her high heels. Her full hips stretched the fabric of her dress into an inviting curve.

Dominic thought that her coming home this early was a good sign, as if things were finally moving in the right direction.

She changed into more comfortable shoes and hurried to the kitchen. The aroma of freshly cooked food filled the air. Her eyes crinkled with happiness. "My husband is the best!"

Dominic smiled calmly. "Go watch TV. I'll call you when everything's ready."

Isabella kissed him on the cheek and returned to the living room.

Half an hour later, Dominic set the food on the dining table and called his wife and daughter over. His cooking was exceptional—good enough to rival chefs in five-star hotels. Isabella had eaten his meals for years and never grown tired of them.

After finishing, she sighed contentedly. "How about we skip the restaurant tomorrow and have a candlelit dinner at home instead?"

Dominic suddenly remembered it was her birthday. "Sur

    Jessica stood on the brink of tears as she barked at the burly woman, "Go! Hurry! Go check on them!""O-Okay!" The woman froze in fear, then snapped out of it and rushed forward.At the edge of the rooftop, Dominic's left hand clamped onto the concrete ledge while his right arm locked around Isabella.They dangled in the open air.Dominic's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Isabella Sinclair, have you lost your mind?"Isabella looked up at him. Her eyes held a hollow, deathly emptiness as she cried, "Honey, let go. Let go now."She wore a white dress that swayed in the wind, fragile as a butterfly caught in a storm.Dominic ground his teeth together. One arm carried the weight of two people. Even with his strength, the strain was severe. His endurance was remarkable, and he could still hold on for a short while."Stop this damn nonsense," he shouted. "I'm pulling you up. Grab the edge of the roof."They were on the tenth floor. Nearly 100 feet below lay solid concrete. A fall

    "My purpose…" The woman paused, then spoke with vicious calm. "It seems you do not even know who you have offended. Of course, that no longer matters. What matters is letting you taste what it feels like to lose the one you love."Dominic's pupils shrank. "What do you mean?""It is simple. There are three people here right now. You can only take two with you.""And the one left behind?""Haha. The one left behind… You will never see her again," the woman said, laughing in an exaggerated manner.At that moment, Jessica's eyes fluttered, and a faint groan escaped her lips.The woman raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you are awake?"Jessica looked around, then cried out, "Dominic, why am I here?""Are you all right?" Dominic asked."Hey, this is not the time for flirting," the woman cut in sharply. "Fleming, I will give you one minute. Choose two people to take with you."Jessica immediately grasped the situation. Tears welled in her eyes as she spoke in a trembling voice. "Dominic, take

    After Dominic learned that Autumn had gone missing as well, he sat on the sofa and frowned in thought.Strangely, he did not feel as urgent anymore. Something about the situation felt wrong.Isabella, Jessica, and Autumn were all connected to him. Which meant the target was him.With that realization, Dominic's expression eased slightly. As long as they were not harmed, everything remained negotiable.If his judgment was correct, the other party would contact him soon.Katherine bit her lip. "Dominic, what should we do next?"His gaze stayed calm. He answered with a single word. "Wait."The wait stretched until 6:00 p.m.Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table began to vibrate.Seeing an unfamiliar number, Dominic answered at once."Hehe. Dominic Fleming. Hello there." The voice on the other end sounded dark and unpleasant.Dominic drew a deep breath and spoke in a low voice. "Who are you? Did you kidnap them?"The man laughed. "Correct, but guessing it right gets you nothi

    Taking the opportunity to meet Zachary was not a bad idea either.Jewel spoke with concern. "If you go, will it—""It's fine," Dominic said calmly, waving his hand. "Even if things escalate between him and me, I won't be the one who needs to worry."At worst, he would simply find another lingering soul to eliminate him.Just then, his phone rang.Dominic picked it up and saw Katherine's name on the screen."Hello."Katherine's voice trembled with sobs. "Dominic, something happened at home. Isabella and Jessica were kidnapped.""What?" Dominic's expression changed at once. He stood up abruptly.Panic filled Katherine's voice. "I was livestreaming in my room. Lily was with me. I heard noise outside and went to check. When I came out, Jessica and Isabella were gone.""Where's Lily?" Dominic asked in a low voice after taking a steadying breath."She's taking her afternoon nap in my room. She's fine.""Good. Stay home and wait for me." Dominic hung up.Jewel immediately asked,

    In the days that followed, Dominic became extremely busy.Sometimes, he went out with Jewel. Other times, they split up and worked separately. Jewel inspected factories while he ran between banks.By the time August arrived, the weather had grown warmer.One afternoon, Dominic walked out of a bank, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered, "Damn. Being a boss is far more exhausting than being an employee."When he was still an employee, he could slack off at the office and watch movies whenever he felt like it. Now, that was no longer possible.The 300-million-dollar loan was within reach, but the details were troublesome. Interest rates, service fees, and disbursement schedules all required careful negotiation. Over the past few days, he had even dined with several bank executives, and alcohol was often involved.Well, that was life.Dominic had gained a clear realization. Even someone as wealthy as Stephen Garcia sometimes had to ask for favors and could not control eve

    Naturally, they had no money at the moment.Both sides went over the details, and before they realized it, noon had arrived.Dominic invited Andriana and Evan to lunch.Andriana wanted to be respectful, so she stayed.At the restaurant, she smiled and said, "Last time I was going to treat you, but you left in such a hurry, Mr. Fleming. Today is the perfect chance, so please let me treat you."The way she addressed him as "Mr. Fleming" created a noticeable shift in atmosphere.Dominic was about to refuse, but Evan quickly spoke up. "Mr. Fleming, please don't be polite. This meal should be on us."Seeing this, Dominic did not insist.The lunch passed pleasantly for both host and guests.After Andriana and Evan left, Dominic returned to the office with Jewel. His expression turned serious as he said, "We have a lot to do. First, we need to find a factory, set up production lines, recruit marketing staff for both online and offline channels, and establish official self-operated st
