Chapter 2 The Tragedy Behind the Perfect Brother

Dominc’s face didn’t give anything away. He just looked at her, with eyes that seemed to shift and darken like deep water.

Then Dominic said absolutely nothing.

Cool as ever, he glanced away like the moment never happened and turned toward the stairs.

Jean stared at his retreating back, her thoughts going wild.

In the big, stylish dining room, Jean found herself sitting face-to-face with Dominic.

Across the table, Dominic suddenly set down his fork and knife. His face stayed unreadable.
