Dominic sat on the first seat of the conference table with all the board members seated with him, including Alexander. A sinister smirk played on Dominic's lips as he watched the board members going through the documents that was passed to them.

They glanced at each other not knowing what to say before looking over at Alexander who kept a blank expression. He was seated at the end of the conference table.

From the investigation carried out, sadly, it was proven that Mr. Hartless over here is legally married to Miss Melina Throndsen.

Is there any special occasion, Mr. Hartless?" Melina was undeniably excited.

They both were dressed in simple casual couple clothes with Dominic putting on a cap.This was the first time Melina saw him in another style of dressing aside from his usual formal wear and she couldn't deny it, he looked... a bit different, like kind of more hot and attractive."You will find out soon, Melina.

Before Dominic could finish, Melina shoved a spoon into his mouth. Immediately the cold texture of the Gelato made contact with his tongue, his pupils dilated greatly."What do you think, Mr. Hartless? How does it taste?" Melina asked, anticipating his remark.Slowly, Dominic took out the spoon and asked"What did you say this was again?""Gelato. Italian Gelatos""Ah." He nodded and slowly turned to the vendor. "Can I... have one of your Gelato?"Melina let out a chuckle. "You like it already, don't you?""No. That's not it. I just thought since this our first date and you like the Gelatos too much, I can have some if it will make you happy."Melina snorted. This man. His arrogance is on top of the entire universe.

    "Was that why you left Westwood?" Dominic asked after a brief silence between them and Melina nodded."I was too heartbroken then. I lost everything and everyone I loved and cherished. Even the person thought I would spend the rest of my life with." She pressed her lips together to hold back the tears threatening to slip down. Dominic saw a certain pain and anger that flashed through her teary eyes and he couldn't help but wonder.Did someone else hurt her more than her parents did, eight years ago?"Have you visited your parents since you came back?""No. I don't have to courage to face them." Melina scoffed."You badly want to see them, don't you?"Melina glanced at him with a sad, faint smile. "I guess. As much as I am still angry with them for disowning me that easily, they're still my parents. I can't help but worry if they're ok. How have they been doing since that day eight years ago?

She felt disgusted with him touching her but at the same time, a familiar feeling washed through her."Mila, I've missed you so fucking much."There were times when those words made butterflies swim around her stomach. There were times when Killian holding her like this, was everything she prayed for every day. But now, feeling his lips on her body as he kissed her neck tentatively made her anger flare up.She grabbed his hands and released his grip on her body before pushing him away.

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.

    "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.
