The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 66

Brock was furious when he discovered that Josephine had the audacity to resign.

Seething with anger, he burst into his modest home, the door slamming behind him like a thunderclap.

"Grace!" he shouted at his wife, who was quietly folding laundry in the living room. Tomorrow, you're opening the restaurant!"

Grace looked up, startled by his outburst. "What happened with Josephine?"

"She quit! Don't ask any more questions!" he snapped, pacing the room like a caged animal.

Grace's face paled.

"But... I don't know how to cook."

"Just do it like you always have!" Brock barked.

"Brock," she pleaded, her eyes welling up. "I really don't know how to run the restaurant. Can't you find someone else?"

"Don't argue with me!" he shouted, shoving her aside.

Grace stumbled, catching herself against the wall.

"When I tell you to do something, you do it!"

The next morning, Grace stood alone behind the counter of the bustling

restaurant, her hands trembling as she struggled to keep up with orders.

Brock sat at a corner table, arms crossed, glaring at her with a mixture of disdain and impatience.

The customers were growing restless.

"Hey! When's our food coming? My break's almost over!" a burly man called out, tapping his watch.

"This is ridiculous," another customer muttered, pushing back his chair. "I'm leaving."

Brock's temper flared.

He stormed over to Grace, his face contorted with rage.

"It's simple! Why can't you handle it? The money is slipping away because of you!"

Grace's patience snapped. "If it's so simple, why don't you do it yourself?"

"You ungrateful-" Brock snarled, raising his hand.

A miner who had been watching stood up from his seat.

"Hey, pal, that's enough. Keep your hands off her."

Brock whirled around. "Mind your own business! She's my wife; I'll do as I please." "Not here, you won't."

"Fuck off!"
