Chapter 93

“Dominick!” Stephanie abruptly opened her eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from her forehead, it was just a dream.

It was still that nightmare, the year she went camping on the outskirts during her high school graduation trip.

As the sunset approached, she was suddenly attacked by five rough bandits. They covered her mouth and dragged her into the depths of the mountains, tearing at her clothes.

She was so frightened that she was shaking, and she only knew that a man was running towards her in a hurry.

“He seemed injured.” She sat up against the headboard, her brows furrowed, recalling that unwanted memory.

Stephanie’s mind was a mess. She ran her hand through her long hair and couldn’t remember anything.

She was only 17 then, and too many unfortunate things happened that year. Her father brought his mistress home, her mother committed suicide in prison, and she and her aunt left the Reed family to live alone. She tried to adapt, but reality didn’t give her a moment to catch her breath, instead thrusting her into such a brutal scene.

“Did Dominick save me? Her mind was foggy. She really wanted to ask him those questions, but she had never dared to bring them up.

Stephanie instinctively looked to her side, her expression darkening.

Dominick had been back in the country for almost a week but hadn’t returned even once.

“What is he busy with?”

She remembered the last time he took her to the basement of the casino in the east of the city. He seemed eager to find someone.

Her eyes darkened slightly. ‘He is always like this, keeping so many secrets. Doesn’t it tire him out?!

Stephanie got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. She had been moping around at home for a whole week, and today, she wanted to go somewhere.
