Chapter 10
“What’s wrong?!”
Dominic was surprised at my abrupt response. I hadn’t noticed that my breathing had grown shallow, or that I had slid back on the bed and hugged myself without thinking. Why did I have to remember that?!
“N-nothing… it’s just that… my head hurts all of a sudden.”
Dominic sat in front of me, tenderly taking my hands in his own as he met my gaze. I quickly looked away and shut my eyes.
I did not want Damon’s face in my head during that intimate moment. I was
s mad at myself for letting it happen. like he had been tucked away in the back of my mind before unexpectedly appearing. I should have known seeing him at the gala would bring back our shared history, yet here I was, ruining it.
“Are you sure?”
Dominic softly ran his fingers along my hand then he cupped my cheek, looking at me with a softness in his eyes. I smiled up at him, nodding slowly to tell him that I understand and that it’s okay. I can see the worry in his expression and although he cares deeply for me, it’s hard for me to let him take on all of this stress and worry on my behalf.
“Let’s continue, dear.”
I pulled him close and k*ssed him passionately. For a brief moment, he seemed to have something else on his mind, but when my l*ps met his he was forced to abandon whatever it was and instead let himself be consumed by the moment.
He gradually lowered himself down onto me and we resumed our embrace. My heart raced as we moved together in harmony, each move more exquisite than the last. His breath tickled my skin as our passions rose higher and higher, reaching our heaven.
“I love you…” he whispered, k*ssing the side of my head.
I closed my eyes, “I love you too.” before drifting to sleep.
The next day. I woke up and got ready for work. Standing in front of the mirror, I applied makeup to enhance my best features. With each brushstroke and application of foundation, I gained more confidence as I looked at myself.
Before, I rarely wore any makeup. It made me feel insecure because of his “family” who always teased me about my face. Every time I tried to put on some makeup they would tell me that it made me look like a clown, so I stopped wearing it.

Now when I look at my reflection, I can’t help but love what I sec. No one else’s opinion matters anymore, whether it’s a full face of make-up or no makeup at all, I’m gorgeous either way. This has made me feel so strong and fierce that nothing can hold me back.
Good morning my beautiful soon-to-be-wife.”
I giggled as he planted delicate k*sses on my n*eck and his arms circled my waist. His tall frame lit up in just his boxers, barely covering him. His love for me shone through in the way he looked into my eyes.
“How’s the kids?” I asked.
“They were having their breakfast. I was just about to get ready to help them prepare for school when you caught my attention. Your beauty was so captivating that I couldn’t help but be entranced. It truly took my breath away.”
1 burst out laughing, “It’s too early for this, dear.”
He groaned in frustration, rolling his eyes before playfully biting my ear. “I’m trying to be serious here and yet you had the audacity to laugh after praising you? Shame on you. His words held a lightness, but also an unmistakable seriousness that I couldn’t
ignore.
I pinched his cheeks. “Don’t be like that. I appreciate every words you said.”
“Yeah.” he released my hand and stomped his way into the bathroom located in our shared room. I couldn’t help but let out a small laugh at the sight, between us two, it’s he who is by far more effeminate, and it’s normally me who has to do the work of cheering him up when he gets especially grumpy.
I wrapped everything up just as Dominic finished picking out his outfit. He chose a simple white shirt and black pants, nothing too showy, but it really worked for him. His style was classic, yet trendy in its own way, he had an amazing sense of fashion and knew exactly how to put together a great look.
“Let’s go.”
We went down the stairs and were met with the twins’ jumps of joy as they waited for us. Dominic was talking to the head of security while I prepped lunch for the kids. The energy in the air was electric, pulsing around us like a song and setting my heart on fire.
“Mommy, are you coming to school with us?” Emily asked.
“Yes, but I won’t be staying because Mommy needs to work.”
“What about Daddy?” Alex asked.
“He’s going to work too. But don’t worry. Daddy has asked for your b*dyguards to

protect you. Always remember, don’t go with someone you don’t know. I trust you kids, okay**
“Yes. Mommy” they replied in unison, the cutest salute I’d ever seen. A wave of joy came over me and all I could do was giggle and pinch their chubby little cheeks. These two were my absolute pride and joy, along with Dominic of course, they made up my whole world.
“Come, let’s go now of you two will be late M
I headed them to the doorway where Dominic was standing with the car ready for us. He opened both doors and waited polines as they cautiously made their way inside. He worked efficiently to ensure that each of them was securely buckled in before closing the door shut behind them
“And now, my lady” he said with an air opened the passenger door for me i m response before sl*pping inside the car

We delivered the kids to their school fint. They care una miss goodbye before they ran off to their classroom, a car full of b*dyguants trailing betws to watch over them.
We watched as they rushed through the gates.
“Make sure to watch over them, especially now that the Bood family is aware of the kids under my care. Dominic said through the phone wefore ending it
“Are you sure you don’t want me to pick you up later during lunch? We can have lunch
at your favorite-”
You don’t have to, Dominic.” I said with a heavy sigh. Besides I dont want to give you any more stress after you already gave me this job to begin with. Tot aware that its true that I’m relying on your kindness, but still I am deeply apprecame of everything you’ve done for me and-”
Before I could get out my sentence, he quickly silenced me with a gentle k*ss on the l*ps. He slowly pulled away afterwards and locked his gaze with mine. his eyes burning with intensity. His sudden display of affection completely stunned me.
“Nonsense, don’t ever say something like that. You’re not putting pressure on me okay I gave you your own company because I love you and want to help you Yes later I will pick you up, and we will eat lunch together. End of discussion,
I just sighed as he started the car’s engine and drove towards the company When he makes a decision like this, there’s nothing more I can do.
When the car stopped he opened the door for me and walked with me to the entrance Before he left, he k*ssed me on the cheek and l*ps, and in an instant, he was gone. I took

a deep breath and looked at the company he had given me.

To be honest, he gave this to me a long time ago. I’ve been taking care of it for a while now However, there are times when I still can’t help but feel embarrassed because it didn’t come from my own hard work. He just gave it to me. And now, I’m growing my own cosmetic line.
I entered inside, and my employees greeted me right away. I was about to head straight to the elevator towards my office when I suddenly heard my secretary’s voice.
“Good morning. Ma am!”
She’s Cecilia. She’s a woman because Dominic doesn’t want a male secretary, he might erupt like a volcano out of extreme irritation.
He’s kind of possessive.
“What is my schedule for today?
Cecilia quickly opened her notepad and listed all of my schedules for the day.
“You have a meeting with the marketing members, you also have some documents that need approval, you have a meeting with Ma’am Alicia, who wants to invest in your cosmetic line, and…
And the list goes on and on. It sounds tiring, but I can’t do anything about it. This is the job that Dominic gave to me, and I don’t want to waste the opportunity he gave me.
“Oh, by the way. Ma am, there’s someone waiting for you in your office. We were initially hesitant to let them in, but they said they’re also an investor. We’re trying to check if they have an appointment, but they mentioned that they’ve been a long-time friend of yours.
I immediately stopped walking upon hearing what Cecilia said. “A friend? Who are they? How many of them are there?”
“There were two of them earlier, Ma’am. They’ve been waiting for a while, it seems they. even waited for the company to open.
For some unknown reason, my heart started to beat faster. I took a deep breath and quickly entered the elevator, with Cecilia following me. I pressed the button for the top floor, unable to prevent myself from hurrying to get to my office to see who she was talking about
The elevator doors opened, and I immediately stepped out. I opened the door to my office, and when I saw who was sitting in my swivel chair, it made me stop in my tracks. My eyes widened in disbelief at what I was seeing.
