As Dominic extends his hand so 1 can bring my leg forward, I sit still and shake my head. 

Just leave it.” I look outside the window as the limousine drives gif. “As long as I don’t move, I’ll be fine.” 

I said let me see that”

I hiss when he reaches for my leg and places it right on his thigh making me jerk my head in his direction with surprise. 

“What are you doing?” I furrow my eyebrows. 

“Just sit still.” He doesn’t even look at me. His eyes are focused on my leg. 

When his large hands wrap around my calf and massage with precision, I’m at a lot for words as I watch him. Is he only doing this because he might be a little tipsy? 

The moment he raises my leg a little higher, my breath hitches because I fear that my underwear might be exposed to him even if my dress is long. But because I don’t want that to happen 1 try to pull my leg back. That action only makes me hiss again as it causes me more pain. 

“I told you to sit still.” He grunts 

And I don’t want you touching me.” 

He 

scoffs and doesn’t even look at me. I’m not doing this for you. It’s for my parents and your father” 

Unable to come up with anything to say back to him, I look on as he massages my calf. The sensation is so calming that I rest my head against the seat. 

While he works on it, my eyes barely look at what he’s doing. I only stare at the side profile of his face. He’s so focused that he might not even have realized he’s clenched his jaw. 

As much as I don’t want to admit it, seeing him from this angle is just as equally attractive as any other angle I’ve seen him from. Despite his arrogance, he’s extremely handsome and that’s something I just have to admit to myself. 

When he suddenly lifts his head to look at me, I look away and face outside. 

“That should be better.” He sighs. 

Flustered, I tuck my hair behind my ear as my heart races a little, “We can’t tell if it’s better until I stand on my own two f 

and try to walk. 

“After what I just did for you, a simple thank you‘ would be nice. 

“Not until I’m certain I’m alright. I cross my arms, my gaze still fixed on the window

He scoffs. “Whatever.” 

His response is followed by a silence that I find awkward and for me, that’s new. The two of us have traveled together in silence before but this is just different and I keep asking myself why – because of a simple gesture to massage my calf and not even because of me but our parents? I hope not. 

When I sense his movements from the corner of my eye, I look over and he moves to the other side and takes a seat in the corner. Now he’s facing me. 

I don’t know what’s better–having him sit close to me so it’s easier for me to not look at him since I can just look outside the window, or having him sit on the other side, where he’s not close to me but it’s more difficult to avoid looking at him

As he reaches for a glass, I’m in disbelief when I assume he’s about to pour himself some more whiskey. The side of the limousine where he’s seated has a whole compartment of assorted drinks. 

He looks up from his glass and says, “If this is the part where you tell me not to drink w-” 

“I wasn’t going to say anything I cut him off as I shrug. 

“Good. Besides, I’m only taking some orange juice this time. Want some!” 

I tilt 

my head with narrowed eyes. I can’t believe he’s actually offering me a drink. Though there was so much to eat and drink on the private jet, I didn’t feel like it. But now might be a good time to have something. 

Keeping my eyes on him as he pours himself a glass, I give him a nod and what I’m about to say even feels awkward. 

Yes, I’d like some 

That’s good to know.” He leans back, crosses his legs and drinks from his glass. 

I can’t believe he messed with me like that. Asshole. 

With a ruff, I look outside my window, the various buildings coming into view as we move along the road. 

1 even spot some billboards of Dominic. Most of them are about already established businesses, but there’s one in particular about men’s cologne which is yet to be launched. He’s the face of the brand and as that billboard passes by, I can’t help but turn my head to keep looking at it. 

On the billboard, he’s in a gray suit with no shirt underneath, leaving his skin a little exposed since the top buttons are loose. With the billboard having a warm tone, it gives off a sensual vibe 

It’s even been confirmed that the cologne itself once launched, will have some sensuality to it. 

He already smells so good with all the colognes he has but none of them have that sensual quality to make me immerse myself in the scent. I can’t help but wonder if this one will live up to the standard it seems to portray. 

Once the sexy billboard is out of my view, I look at the surrounding buildings that come into focus. It’s only then that I realize I stared too much and he might’ve seen me. 

Holding my breath, I look over at him and he’s focused on his phone, giving me some relief. 

It doesn’t matter if he saw me looking or not. I’m just glad he didn’t mention it. But no definitely mentioned it had he caught me staring. 

that I think about it, he would’ve 

Yesterday, he said it in my face that I was a hypocrite for acting like I didn’t want him yet I cried for him at night, which was absolutely incorrect. But in this case, he wouldn’t waste an opportunity like this to get back at me and make me feel embarrassed. I guess I got away with it. 

The limousine pulls up to a gigantic black gate with the sun reflecting off of it 

Though Dominic’s been here before, it’s my first time. Our new home is in the richest neighborhood in California. 

Frank doesn’t live too far from this neighborhood. 

After the gate opens and we go inside, the green grass on both sides of the road is so neat that it looks like a green carpet.

orthe bouse to come into view as we drive for about a minute, an assortment of trees scattered over 

the beautiful landscape. 

When the house finally comes into view, I’m in awe at how it seems to be so tall it could actually reach for the sky. I’ve seen similar houses before but nothing like this 

The house’s off white color stands out from all the shades of green coming from the grass and trees 

When the limousine drives through the roundabout which has a fountain right at its center, I brace myself for what’s coming next. It’ll be like a moment of truth when I stand on my own two feet. 

A few cars with the bodyguards have accompanied us to our new home, so we wait until they surround the us before we can step outside. 

Once they’re in position, the door is opened for us and Dominic steps out with ease. 

It takes me a while as I don’t want to feel that pain in my calf. 

“Are you getting out or what?” He crosses his arms, his tone a little impatient. 

At this point, he can just go inside. He doesn’t have to wait for me. But I’m guessing it’s because he want handle myself in this situation.

Slowly, I scoot to the other side until I’m close to the door, being mindful not to add any pressure on my other foot with the pulled muscle in my calf. 

Now’s the time to find out if his massage really made a difference. 

For a start. 1 step my good foot on the ground, then slowly follow suit with the other one. 

Everything seems fine, until I push myself off my seat and stand up. The pain is so unbearable that I fall. But before I drop to the ground, he rushes to me and urgently wraps his arms around my waist. 

oan loudly.
