Chapter 14 Accepting Her Fate

Although I had no inkling where Dominic had been in the past few years or how he had been doing, he did not seem so destitute that he hadn’t the money to hire a caregiver, what with his luxurious car and having an executive assistant.

A sliver of regret crept into me at my rash words earlier. For some reason, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that he had dug a trap and was just waiting for me to fall into it.

“Are you going back on your word now? Weren’t you the one who said you’d do your best to accommodate me? I’m just asking you to take care of me, yet you can’t even do such a simple thing? Liliana, are you really sincere in apologizing and making amends?” Dominic finally spat coldly when I hesitated for too long without saying anything.

Anxiously stealing a gander at him, I saw that his cheeks were now puffed up against his chiseled countenance.

Even if I know that it’s a trap, how can I decline when both of us have said as much? In fact, isn’t there a saying that goes like this—curses, like chickens, come home to roost?

 

“Alright, I agree. But let me make it clear that I’ll only be taking care of you. There’ll be no monkey business!”

“But of course! What monkey business do you have in mind? Did you really think that I’ll use my hands and mouth on you?”

 

What the hell? Ugh! How I wish to clobber him! Truly, I’ve never met anyone with a more serious lack of filter than him. Ah, forget it! My brain cells are all going to die off if I stay with him much longer.
