Elena’s PovI stood in the doorway, watching what looked like a celebration unfold before my eyes. Dominic’s men seemed so excited, they were laughing and cheering, their faces filled with excitement. Dominic himself was standing in the center of the room, a glass of champagne in his hand, with a bright smile on his face.I was so fucking suprised as I had never seen Dominic like this before. He was always so serious, so intimidating. But now, he seemed….. happy.I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I didn't understand what was actually going on with them. Why were they celebrating so much? What had happened? Why were they so happy?As I stood there, trying to make sense of it all, I noticed one of dominic’s men approaching him. They spoke in low tones, their faces were so serious. I strained my ears but they was no way I could hear their conversation from such a far distance.I wondered what they must be up to, I needed to hear what they were talking about because I want t

Selena’s POV I walked into the mansion, my heels clicking on the marble floor. I had stepped out for just a few hours, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.As I walked, I noticed that the mansion was spotless, as always, but there then I noticed some kind of disorder. The maids were scrubbing around, cleaning up what looked like the remnants of a party. I frowned, confusion etched on my face.I hadn’t been home for just some hours, and it seemed like a lot had happened in my absence. What had happened while I was away?I quickened my pace, my curiosity increasing. I approached one of the maids, a young girl who was scrubbing the floor with a mop.“Hey, what's going on?” I asked her, trying to sound casual despite the growing feeling of unease in my stomach.The maid hesitated, looking around nervously before leaning in close. “There was a celebration here, Miss Selena,” she whispered. “Mr. Dominic and his men…they were celebrating something.”I raised an eyebrow,

Selena’s POV I stormed down the hallway, and I could feel my heart racing, my breath coming in short gasps. I was trying to hold back my emotions, but it was of no use.As I reached my room, I slammed the door shut behind me and leaned against it, trying to catch my breath. I felt like my lungs were going to explode, like my emotions were going to burst out of me at any moment.I took a deep breath and attempted to calm myself down, but it was no use. I felt like I was fucking losing control, like I was running out of breath.I walked over to the window and stared out at the gardens below. I could see the perfectly manicured lawns, the colorful flowers, the sparkling fountains. It was all so beautiful, so peaceful.But I didn't feel that peace. I felt angry, hurt, betrayed. I felt like Dominic had lied to me, like he had deceived me all these years even though he never for once, mentioned such things I still felt that way.I felt he should have known, should have figured it out that

Dominic’s povI leaned back in my chair, studying Selena’s expression. She was hiding something, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was.“Selena, come on,” I said, trying to convince her into opening up. “We've known each other for years. I can tell when something’s bothering you.”Selena’s expression didn’t change, but I saw a faint glimpse of emotion in her eyes. “Is it Elena?” I asked, my voice low. “Are you jealous of her?” I continued, trying to bring the words out of her mouth.Selena’s eyes flashed, and for a moment, I thought I saw what seemed to look like anger. But then, her expression smoothed out, and she laughed out loud. “Jealous of her?” Selena repeated, her voice dripping with scorn. “Don’t be ridiculous, Dominic. I’m just worried about you and the organization, like I said earlier.”I raised an eyebrow, Selena was a terrible liar, and I knew she was hiding something. But I also knew that pushing her too hard would only make her pretend even further.“Okay, Sele

Elena PovI lay in bed, as I couldn’t get over the shock and confusion that was going on in my mind. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. Dominic of all people, the merciless and cruel man who had taken me from my father without hesitation, had just shown me kindness and compassion.I thought back to our conversation, trying to process everything he had said. He had promised to protect me, to keep me safe from my father’s cruelty.He had told me that he wasn’t a monster, that he was a man who cared about the people around him.But how could that be? I had seen the way he treated his guards, the way he spoke to them with contempt and disdain. I had seen the way he looked at me, like I was nothing more than a goddamn prisoner who had been abandoned by her family. And yet, when he spoke to me just now, his voice was soft and gentle. His eyes were kind and compassionate and portrayed deep affection. It was like he was a different person Entirely. I didn’t know what to make of i
