Selene POV“Go get dressed and meet me outside before 7 p.m.,” I said, lowering my voice to a whisper.Elena nodded and jogged away. Since she wasn't watching me, I couldn't help but smile to myself.It was against Dominic’s instructions to take Elena on any outing again since the last time. It didn't go so well—what started as a fun outing turned into a shootout with Luca's men. So it made things difficult for me.Here I was, thinking of what other ways to add fuel to the fire to make the conflict between them more intense. My mind was pondering deeply about what I could do to make Elena want to disobey Dominic even more. But without giving her venomous thoughts, she brought up the idea herself.I couldn't help but laugh inside. Now, even if Dominic gets us on the ropes, just a few arguments and agreements, and I'd still walk out of this situation unfazed.But for now, I had to stop taking joy in my thoughts and focus on actually bringing my plans to work. So, I entered my room to ge

Chapter 73Elena POVEven in my drunken state, I couldn't believe it. It just felt as if Dominic spawned here. Because there were no other indicators he was coming. Wait! How did he even find me?I remember Selene and I talked about this being a secret outing, no one would know, we'd be quick in and out. And the rest of the promises. But now things were far from what she actually said.“You disappear for days and the next thing I know you're stalking me. That's not done,” I said, annoyed.“Silence, Elena. You've disappointed me again and this time you willingly put yourself at risk. I made the rule that no one should go out without my permission but you didn't pay any attention to it. Even if Selene took you out, you still brought up the idea. You're the rebel here. I'm trying so much to care for you, but you don't just give a damn,” Dominic said and I don't feel the urge to resist his pull. It's not because I felt powerless—it's because I felt guilty.He actually did care? I asked in

Chapter 75ElenaI squinted my eyes open, taking a while to adjust to the sudden brightness. It was another morning, but I felt odd. My body to be precise. My temples throbbed with an ache, and my brain seemed fuzzy.With a groan, I tried to sit up when a sudden soreness from my lower body made me lay back in bed. It felt as though I had been run over by a truck, my lower body aches so much that I let out a grunt in pain. Hold up.How did I get home? Weren't I in the club?I dug into my memories, putting the broken pieces together slowly until everything started to make sense.From when I started to drink, to when a random guy pulled me for a dance, then Dominic's arrival.When I got to that point, the fog seemed to have cleared and my brain blanked. Last night, Dominic and I….had sex. Shit!How did that happen? I could remember the arguments, and then how everything happened. Thinking of it, I felt the person last night was not me.How could I allow him to touch me after all Sele

Chapter 77DominicI could not describe how I felt. What was Elena thinking? A man almost kissed her and If I had not arrived at that point in time, it would have happened.But, when I tried to kiss her again, she wouldn't let me. And, she expects me to take her refusal lightly?A drunken mistake, she had said. Was everything that happened last night something she could dismiss as a mere mistake?And, when I remembered the look in her eyes when I told her that she would not be allowed to go anywhere from now on, I felt complicated. The hatred, the hurt, and the disappointment. Does she have the right to be disappointed in me? If anything, I should be the one to have that feeling.She needs to get the reality straight, she belongs to me, whether she likes it or not. And, whatever I say, goes. She has no right to question or disobey my orders.Initially, I had thought that she had come to terms with this fact, but it seems she was just stalling for a chance to escape. When I thought

DominicThe soft clink of the ice cube against the glass cup echoed in the stillness of my study. I swirled the liquid in my glass, watching the way the ice cube moved with it.Yet, the burn of the bourbon did nothing to distract me from the woman who haunted my thoughts and peace of mind.I could not stop thinking about her.She was not the first woman I would sleep with, but after doing it, my brain seemed to have been conditioned to only have her.And, that, perhaps, was the problem.The twinkle of her eyes when she laughed, the soft curl of her lips when she was in a good mood and the narrowing of her eyes when she was angry. Each change in her facial features seemed to have been recorded in my mind, and nothing could wipe it away, not even the strong bourbon. I lifted the glass to my mouth, and took another sip. My gaze shifted to the bottle on the table, and realized that I was out. I had been drinking since I left the dining area, and I could do nothing. I could not even wor
