Chapter 41

Dominic

The last person I expected to come to this party was my brother. He made it clear that he had other matters to attend to, so I didn’t count on him showing up here.

I look back at Frank and he seems amused by how nervous I am.

“I know, but where can I find her? is she upstairs or something?”

“I left her at home.”

“You left her?” His eyes widen.

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“She didn’t want to come because she’s not feeling well.”
