Chapter 63

Dominic

As soon as I’m at Carmella’s bedroom door, I don’t even have it in me to knock, so I just push it open and step inside.

She’s on the bed and when she sees me, she runs to me and wraps her arms around me. I guess she’s doing much better but right now, I don’t give a shit about that.

“Babe, you’re back, she says. “I’ve been trying to reach you.”

Her arms are so tightly wrapped around my waist like everything’s fine between us but right now, my blood’s boiling.

“You won’t believe what happened while you were away. Your mother was here and she was so mean to me. She ordered me. to leave this house but what she says doesn’t matter as long as you’re in charge. You’re the only one who can decide

“Then go,” I say to her with no hesitation, clenching my fists to contain my anger.

“What?” she asks, her head shooting up.

I don’t ever want to look at her right now, so I keep my eyes on the wall as I pull away from her embrace by removing her arms from my waist

Just as I take a step back, she tries to take a few steps forward, but I can’t stand her being so close to me right now.

“Babe, what’s wrong with you? Are you still mad about this morning? I told you I didn’t mean it, so stop being like this.”

Even right now, I can’t believe how she’s still so nonchalant about all this. It makes my blood boil even more.

“You must’ve missed the part where I said you should leave this house.” I clench my jaw.

“You don’t mean that. It’s a joke, right?”

“Did it sound like a joke to you?”

She scoffs. “What the hell’s gotten into you?”

It’s taking everything in me not to start yelling right now.

“Tell me what happened at the orphanage.”

“Ugh! Why are we going over that ag-”

“I said tell me what fucking happened!

She flinches, placing a hand on her chest as she narrows her eyes at me, but she can tell just how serious I am right now, so she looks away.

“I don’t know why you’re making me go over this again,” she says “I told you that I accidentally knocked Billy over.”
