Chapter 130

“Mr. Wellington.”

Dominick’s presence was overwhelming, leaving Molly stunned as she watched the man suddenly appear at the door. She stuttered, “Steffi, you better pack up and head back now.”

Stephanie stood rooted at the doorway, feeling uncomfortable under the man’s penetrating gaze, and she lowered her head with an awkward expression.

“How much longer do you plan to stay here?”

Dominick, uncharacteristically patient, inquired with a tone that hinted at deeper meanings.

“Actually, she’s been glued to her phone, waiting for you to come and take her home…” Molly didn’t hesitate to reveal her friend’s

The usually cold Dominick showed a flicker of surprise as he turned to Molly.

Stephanie’s face flushed with embarrassment as she quickly interjected, grabbing Molly’s collar and pulling her inside.

“Molly, say another word and we’re through!”

Stephanie’s voice dropped low, her eyes glaring fiercely at the traitor.

“Dominion came personally to pick you up. You should be thrilled, Steffi. Don’t act tough now. Last night, you were clearly calling out his name in your nightmares…”

Before Molly could finish her words, Stephanie pinched the flab on her waist, causing her to yelp in pain.

Molly stood at her own door, finally bidding farewell to the two imposing figures.

Stephanie and Dominick walked side by side, their faces tense and their gazes avoiding each other, unsure of what to say next.
