“She’s my family affair, and none of you have any say in the matter.”
Dominick stood up abruptly, his presence commanding as he rose, his gaze sweeping over the assembled group with a voice that cut through the room like chilled steel,
Stephanie stood by his side, and her brow furrowed in curiosity. Across from her, Mary, usually formidable, now wore a hint of unease, a rare sight that hinted at her apprehension of her own son.
A palpable tension settled over the room, silencing even the most casual whispers as everyone pondered the unfolding scene.
“Come here.”
George’s command rang out, heavy and authoritative, before he turned and strode purposefully down the corridor.
Stephanie arched an eyebrow in surprise. She knew George was summoning Dominick, yet the latter showed no sign of moving

Stephanie’s expression seemed delayed, simply nodding in response.
