Chapter 59

Dominic

While looking in the mirror, I fumble with my necktie and it’s frustrating me even more because I’m running out of time. I know my father will be calling me once again, demanding that I hurry for the emergency meeting this evening

As I finally get it right, I tilt my head to the side, glancing at Carmella through the mirror. She’s all curled up on my bed.

Ever since she returned from the orphanage, she hasn’t stopped crying, feeling awful about accidentally hurting little Billy. I didn’t expect her to be perfect. That’s why I understood her and made sure to clear things up.

“Hello?” I say to him.

“Where are you?”

I’m already on my way.”

“Hurry up or I’m leaving without you.”

“I’ll be there soon.”

I hurry even more, not wanting him to go without me. I’m now part of the team.

Just as I step outside, Vanessa’s car pulls up. I want to know all about her time at the orphanage with the children, but that’ll have to waiL
