Chapter 15 - Dominic Finally Tells Chloe Everything
Before Chloe agreed to date him, she demanded the truth about his world.
Not the romantic version.
The real one.
Dominic admitted the Moretti organization had profited from crimes.
He admitted people feared him for reasons that were not
misunderstandings.
He did not ask Chloe to excuse it because Victor was worse.
Instead, he told her he was separating legitimate businesses from
criminal operations and cooperating where counsel advised regarding
Victor’s financial network.
Change would not erase history.
Chloe appreciated that he did not pretend it could.
“Why me?” she asked.
Dominic looked surprised.
“You wrote three words on a receipt.”
“That’s gratitude.”
“You looked at a gun and thought about everyone else in the room.”
“That’s stupidity.”
“No.”
He leaned forward.
“That’s who you are.”
Chloe smiled despite herself.
“Still not yours.”
Dominic nodded.
May you like
“Still yours.”
This time, she kissed him first.
