Chapter 59

Dominic

After a quick kiss, I head out of the bedroom, my phone already ringing again and I know it’s my father.

“Hello?” I say to him.

“Where are you?”

I’m already on my way.”

“Hurry up or I’m leaving without you.”

“I’ll be there soon.”

I hurry even more, not wanting him to go without me. I’m now part of the team.
