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’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…”

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