"You don't have a choice, Mr. Hartless, or else you want your wife behind bars for at least two decades. What do you say? Should I tell you why?" The mischievous grin that played on Killian's lips made Dominic turn back to face him, a deep frown on his face.

"Should I tell why your wife, if care is not taken, will be locked up for two decades plus?"

"It's as simple as this, Mr. Hartless. She will be in prison because of you and because of the mistake she made eight years ago."

"You're beating around the bush and it's getting on my nerves. I don't really have time for irrelevant blabber." Dominic hissed impatiently.

"Calm down, Mr. Hartless. If I were you, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave, not until I hear what my enemy has to say."

    Dominic came back home early and was surprised to see that Melina was already back. She was in the kitchen, chopping some vegetables. But she was doing so absentmindedly, staring at nothing.Dominic walked up to her and just as she was about cutting her index finger, he hugged her from behind and held the knife. Melina flinched greatly and went stiff."What do you think you're doing?" Hearing Dominic's voice, her stiffened body loosened up. "Are you trying to hurt yourself on purpose?" To Dominic's surprise,"It's nothing" She mumbled and wriggled out of his hold, heading to the cabinet."Melina, what's wrong? What made so lost in thought that you forgot you were holding a knife?""It's nothing, Dominic. I'm fine." "Melina...""Dominic, please! I'm cooking, ok? So please, leave." Melina quickly snapped him off.Dominic face died down in a deep frown and before Melina could continue what she was doing, he carried her and placed her on the kitchen counter, caging her between his chest.

    Melina slowly opened her eyes as the rays of the sun hit her face. She groaned at the slight headache that hit her. Looking around, she was taken aback. She was lying on the bed but it wasn't hers and Dominic's bed. It wasn't even their room.Where is this place? What is she doing here? Wait, how did she get here to begin with? She got off the bed and left the room. This wasn't the mansion. Yes, it was beautiful and spacious but every corner she passed was smaller than that of the mansion.Did Dominic bring her here? Like some sort of surprise? Wait, are they having their honeymoon?No, that's not possible. The last thing she could remember was entering the car that came to pick her up from the supermarket and she passed out almost immediately after the car drove off."Dominic!" She called as she climbed down the stairs. There weren't any maids or guards around."Shantel? Leon?"She got to the kitchen and stopped for a moment when she saw someone inside the kitchen.

    "How the fuck did this happen?! Where is my wife?!" Dominic snarled at Ryder who was standing before him with his head bowed in shame.Ethan was also present and so were few of his men."I'm sorry, Boss" Was all Ryder could mumble. Dominic glared at him with eyes bloodshot. All he wanted to do was choke him to death for having the guts to say that he was sorry."Boss..." Ethan saw the rage in his eyes and intervened. "Please, calm down." He said and Dominic ran his hand through his hair to calm down."How did it happen?" He asked in a much calmer tone but one could sense the irritation laced in his voice."When I arrived at the supermarket, I couldn't see Ma'am. I searched everywhere both inside and outside but didn't see her. And when I asked around, a woman testified to have seen her entering a car exactly like the one I came with. With what the woman claimed to have seen and heard, a man approached her and introduced himself as Ryder and she followed him without further questioning

I won't do it again, I promise" He held her face but Melina looked away without saying anything."I brought you something to eat. Do you want to take your bath before eating or do it after?"Melina ignored him and after some time, she climbed off the bed and headed to the wardrobe.

There was something he needed him to do.His hands were sweating and his breath heaved as he dialed the number on his phone. Ethan picked up at the first ring."Yes, Sir""Ethan, I want you to dig into possible whereabouts of my wife's body. Was she cremated or buried?" He inquired. "Sir?" Ethan blurted out in surprise ."I need you to do this for my peace of mind" He explained. "If I may ask, Boss, what is this about?" Ethan asked. Dominic could sense the uneasiness in his voice.

But she shoved those incessant thoughts away and focused on what was real.Shantel on the other hand couldn't bel

    "Ethan, have you gotten the proper documents needed for the dealership shipment tomorrow?" Dominic asked as he glanced through the array of folders that lay splayed all over his desk. They were so close to their launch and they couldn't afford any mistakes or delay. It would be catastrophic If they encounter any sort of loss due to negligence."Boss, about the contract proposal from the new company?" Ethan demanded but without looking up from the documents, Dominic waved a hand dismissively. "We do not have time to deal with something that huge when we have a bigger deal on our hands" He responded, sifting through the blue spiral-bound envelope."But, Boss. I went through the contract some weeks ago and it looked really promising and we were allowed full creative control if we were to take it up."
