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 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.”
