“My husband’s home?” I shift slightly, still surprised that Dominic’s here..
“Yes, Ma’am. He’s currently in the gym.”
“How long has it been since he arrived?”
“He’s been here since last night.”
“I see. That’ll be all for now.”
As soon as I’m alone, I can’t help but wonder how it’s possible that Dominic came back home. I didn’t even hear him come in. His bedroom isn’t too far from mine. Maybe I was fast asleep by then.
Wasn’t he with Carmella the whole night after leaving the hospital? I have so many questions which I’ll never get answers to. It’s absolutely strange to me that he’s been here since last night.
Trying to block out the endless possibilities as to why he came back home, I focus on my food but just then, the doorknob twists and it

muscle When the door opens and I see Dominic, I forget to blink for a few seconds. With a white towel on his broad shoulder, he’s in a gray m shirt that shows off his perfectly toned and veiny arms. His entire face is drenched in sweat, just like his neck. Certain areas of his gray shirt in the front aren’t any different.
He’s also breathing hard as he stares at me and I end d up pulling on the sheet to compose myself.
As he closes the door behind him, I snap out of it and narrow my eyes at him.
“Ever heard of knocking?” I cross arms in disapproval.
He leans against the wall, just near my bed and wipes off the sweat on his face. “I spoke to the butler a few seconds ago. I knew I’d find you in this state so it’s no big deal.”
I barely make e eye contact with him, my eyes on the sweat dripping down the sides of his face as I say,”
“Then what will you do about it?” He pulls up his black sweatpants more.
I can’t help but scoff. There’s nothing I can do right now and he knows it.
Changing the topic, I say, “I was told you came back last night.”
“And?” He’s now wiping off the sweat around his neck but more just streams down.
“I thought you’d still be with Carmella or something”
“That’s none of your business.”
“I know. Anyway, I hope nothing awful happened to the little boy at the hospital.”
“Why would you think something happened to Jimmy?”
“There’s something different about you. I know you enough to tell.”
“It’s a big deal to me.”
