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.

Seriously? That’s it? He’s just gonna walk off? I thought for sure he was gearing up to say something else…

Dominic stopped mid-step.

Jean blinked as he doubled back out of nowhere. Same calm, quiet voice. Same distant tone.

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

He ate like he was in a commercial. Totally silent, perfectly poised, his lips barely moved, and not a single sound came from his utensils.

Jean glanced down at her plate.

Broccoli. Corn. Salad. And a rare steak that was still bleeding.

She screamed inside.

This dinner is straight-up punishment!

Dominic’s fingers holding the utensils slowed for just a beat.

Jean kept slicing into her steak while her mind wandered off.

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