Chapter 112Dominic A dull ache lingered in my heart the more I stared at Elena's swollen face.Why did she cry? Was it because of what I said yesterday? For the first time, I suddenly felt guilty and remorseful. “I didn't cry.” She insisted firmly, struggling to free herself from my hold, but I wouldn't let her.Several sentences hung in my throat, for example, I could apologize for what I said even though I didn't feel that I said something wrong. But when I parted my lips, what came out was different, “Now, I don't have to repeat myself to remind you who you belong to and who you should interact with, right?”Elena paused for a few seconds, then she stared at me with a smile that made me frown, “Of course I do, you don't have to remind me.”“Elena…"She finally succeeded in pushing me away, and I would not allow her to leave just like that, So I grabbed her wrist and she turned to glare at me.“What else do you want from me? I know my place already, you don't have to tell it to m
Chapter 111Dominic My countenance grew dark, and I scoffed, “My business is not your concern, you should worry about yourself.”Even though it seemed that she was already the head of her family, her position was not stable because some of her uncles were competing for the position with her.To the outside world, she was already the head of the Russo family, that was not the case.Clara's face changed slightly, and she snorted, “I can't believe you are talking like this to me just because of a nuisance you got from the streets. Are your tastes that low?”Irritation flickered through me, but I held it in, trying to stay calm.“Clara, let's talk about something else.” I said, my index finger tapping on the surface of the desk, a sign of my growing impatience. Who would have thought that she would suddenly flare up and rise on her feet with an unsightly expression?“No, I want to talk about this. You promised that when I come back, we would get married. We are engaged, remember? So, wh
Chapter 110Dominic “She refuses to come down.” The maid reported and I let out a snort. “Then, let her remain inside.” My reply came in an icy tone. Yet, my appetite waned, and after poking with the fork, I dropped it and left the dining room with a dark expression. As usual, I poured myself a drink, and sat on the leather chair, sipping slowly with my mind riddled with different thoughts.However, the one that prevailed was the image of the teary-eyed Elena when I spoke to her earlier, and the manner at which she stubbornly pressed her lips together, refusing to say a word to me.Actually, when she spoke rudely to Clara, I had no intention of making her apologize, but she got angry and decided that chatting with James was the next best option. To make it worse, she even pushed herself into his embrace. How could I take that lightly?She is mine, body and soul.I knew my possessiveness was not something she liked, but the fact that she is mine remained the same. How could I simp
Chapter 109ElenaMy tears threatened to spill, but I held it in stubbornly and glared at Dominic, not saying a single word anymore.I had no idea why, but Dominic suddenly paused, and a fleeting emotion flickered in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a mask of coldness.“Speak, did you hear what I just said?” Yet, I made no attempt to say anything, and just stared at him fixedly. Dominic suddenly slammed his fist against the wall, close to my face, but I didn't even flinch.He gave me one last look, before turning to leave. When he saw the maids, he paused for a while, before barking, “What are you doing here? Scram!”The maids instantly scampered off like headless birds, and Dominic stormed out of the kitchen.The instant he left, my knees went soft, and gradually, I slid off the wall and sat on the floor, tears streaming freely down my cheeks. Soon, I began sobbing silently to myself. When I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, I quickly wiped my tears with the back
Chapter 108ElenaDominic stared at me fixedly, but I averted my gaze, ignoring him. I was still angry at what he did earlier. “James, where were we?” I asked casually. Unfortunately, James didn't dare give a reply in Dominic's presence, and I dropped the plate in my hold inside the sink.Now, my mood was back to how it was before I entered the kitchen.I gave Dominic a look, “What do you want? I left the dining room for you and Clara, but you won't even allow me to have a moment of rest.”Dominic simply asked, “Why do you have to eat here?” “Why can't I eat here? I merely gave you guys space.” I replied, and he paused. Yet, I ignored him once again and poked James' shoulder with my finger, “Why aren't you replying? He can't do anything to you.”James' face changed, and he glanced at Dominic discreetly. I rolled my eyes, and attempted to take the empty plate from his hold.Who would have thought that his hold on the plate would be so tight that it caught me off guard. Due to the in
Chapter 107Elena“Talk of the devil.” I muttered to myself with a click of my tongue.“What's she doing here?” Dominic asked, but James gave a head shake. “I have no idea.”We passed through the narrow hallway, and finally arrived in the mansion. Dominic turned to me, “Go to your room and have a rest.”Normally, I would have agreed without hesitation, but for no reason, I didn't want to leave.“Why, so you could have a private time with your crush and fiancée?” I inquired sarcastically, and Dominic frowned. “Elena, that's not it. Clara is probably here to…"Before he could finish his statement, the click of heels against the tiled floor caught him short, followed by Clara's annoying voice that made me furrow my brows. Here she was.Right before us stood Clara who had a soft smile on her face, she was dressed casually, but the casual air made her look even more beautiful. I snorted inwardly, who was she trying to impress? Dominic?“Dominic, you are finally here. I have been waitin
