Selena’s POV

I walked down the hallway, lost in thought, my heels clicking on the floor.

But my thoughts were interrupted by a voice behind me.

“Madam Selena.” I heard a familiar voice call out to me.

I turned to see James, one of Dominic's most trusted men, if not the most trustworthy. He was standing right behind me. He was a tall, muscular man with a rugged face and a sharp jawline. He was putting on a black suit and His eyes seemed to bore into mine, as if he could see right through me.

“What's up, James?” I asked, trying to sound casual as I didn’t want him to notice the unease in my expression as I had just been brought back from the land of thoughts by his voice.

James glanced around nervously before leaning in closer. “I didn’t see you around during the celebration, I believe boss must have told you the reason for the celebration.”

“Yes he did James, I stepped out for personal reasons. I’ve seen Dominic, and he has told me the reason for the little celebration,” I responded

    Chapter 151Elena“Wake up, sleeping beauty.” I heard Dominic's gentle voice right beside my ear, and I groaned in annoyance. “Leave me.” I mumbled, pushing his head away, before covering my head with the quilt. “Don't do that; you might suffocate.” He said helplessly, and I pouted. “Why won't you allow me to sleep?” I complained, still with my eyes closed. “It's late already, and you need to eat. I made your favorite dish already; won't you come?” He asked again, and thinking about the stir-fried veggies he normally makes, my mouth watered slightly. The doctor had emphasized that I eat more veggies, so Dominic will always stir-fry them as a side dish for me since I never liked veggies to begin with. So, stir-fry veggies became my favorite side dish since then.It was weird, but since I got pregnant, my eating habits have been weird. “I want to sleep more.” I said, ignoring my cravings. Dominic fell silent, and just when I thought he had given up, I heard him say, “We intended

    Chapter 150ElenaI leaned against the cushion, staring at the wall clock without a change in my expression, but only I knew how much I was seething inside.That bastard. He better not come home tonight. I should have slept because it was already midnight. Yet, without him by my side, I could not even close my eyes, not to talk of sleeping. Habits were a really annoying thing; they could even make you lose your mind, and I was on the verge of that. With eyes fixated on the clock, I did not even notice when a figure appeared in front of me.“Madam, it is late already. Do you need me to do anything for you?” Mia, an average-looking girl in her early twenties, asked respectfully, and I finally glanced at her.Pinching the spot between my brows, I shook my head. “No, don't worry. You can retire for the day.”Hearing that, she glanced at me worriedly and said, “Madam, the boss might not come back tonight, you…”“It's fine.” I cut her short softly, and she could only bow her head, and a

    Chapter 149ElenaI had not expected to see him so soon. No, I had not expected to see him at all. The moment I left his world, I thought it was over between us.But, it seems fate had something else in plan.Was it really fate?No guards, no tailored control, and his voice was still soft, unlike the demanding tone he would normally use when addressing me. He had changed so much, in ways I found indescribable. His shirt was wrinkled, and his eyes were slightly bloodshot, that I could even see the dark circles under them. He looked different, exhausted even.I could feel a pang in my chest, did something happen? Why does he look so stressed? But, I did not ask out loud, and merely listened as he spoke. “Elena, these few months have not been easy for me. It took me everything not to follow you or have my men tail you. Can you still not feel my sincerity? Won't you at least consider my feelings and come back with me? Please?”For the first time, Dominic pleaded, not looking like the s

    Chapter 148Elena“You gave me something worth protecting, something worth dying for. In every ruined piece of me, you are the only thing that still makes me feel whole. I don't know when it started, but when I realized it, I had already fallen too deep.”I blinked rapidly, stunned. It turned out that I wasn't the only one.After we came back yesterday, Dominic has been all gentle to me. Although I really loved it and wished it could last longer, I had my difficulties. I wanted freedom, in its realest sense.Dominic stared at me like I was the only thing that mattered. His usually sharp eyes were now so soft, filled with emotions I never thought I would see.He continued, repeating, “I love you. I didn't know what that meant until now. But, I know now, and I know that I want you. Not just in my arms, but beside me. As my partner, my equal.”My lips parted, but no words came out. The words I'd longed to hear were finally being spoken, but my heart felt heavy and light at the same tim

    Chapter 147Dominic The shot silenced the whole room, echoing like lightning. Blood sprayed against the wall as Luca's head snapped back due to the force of the bullet.His eyes widened as though he had not expected me to shoot in this situation, and as soon as he staggered, James moved precisely. In a few seconds, he already took the remote from Luca's hold, as Luca's eyes slowly became lifeless, until his slumped body fell to the ground slowly.The silence permeated across the room for a while, no one spoke and Luca's body turned stiff.But, the silence was broken by a group of, who rushed in with a box in their hold. They were the bomb techs, and I quickly heaved in relief. It appears that James already has them ready, but because they don't have any combat skills, he had them stay outside the mansion. One of the techs muttered, “We've got less than a minute to…"“Do it now.” I cut him short icily and he nodded quickly. I held Elena's hands as they did their thing, and I could

    Chapter 146Dominic I bit my thumb and left my fingerprints where necessary. After all these were done, one of his men came forward to take the files from my hold, did a cross-check before nodding at Luca, who quickly smiled.I spoke up, “There, you have what you want. Now, let her go.” I demanded sharply. Luca grinned, not out of satisfactions of having achieved his goal, but a cruel grin that signalled at his ferocious personality. “What now? I have done what you wanted.” I repeated, gaze turning sharp with annoyance. “Let her go now.”“I lied.” He began unhurriedly. “You think I will still let you go after everything? Dominic, are you dumb, or you are just not reading in between the lines? Do you think I'd just let you walk away? No, you think too simply. I want to see you bleed, I want to see you beg just like Lara did, and you did not listen.”At his signal, his men moved in sync, and my expression grew solemn. I had expected it, but I wasn't expecting Luca to be so crazy. He
