Chapter 5 - Dominic Confronts His Deceitful Fiancée In The Grand Foyer
“Put the basket down, Claire,” Dominic instructed, his tone dropping the temperature in the foyer by ten degrees.
Claire’s smile faltered for a fraction of a second, though she quickly recovered her poise with a theatrical laugh.
“What is this, Dom? Why are you looking at me like I’m a stranger?” she asked, tilting her head with feigned confusion.

The color drained instantly from Claire’s face, the designer makeup unable to hide the sudden panic seizing her chest.
“That’s... that’s absurd! Nathan must have told you some ridiculous lies! Where even is Nathan?” Claire stammered defensively.
“Nathan is currently locked in the detention wing confessing to every single conspiracy you both manufactured,” Dominic replied smoothly.
Claire stepped backward, her designer heels clicking frantically against the marble floor as she realized the game was over.

“You can’t prove anything! This is my house too! We’re getting married in six weeks!” she shrieked, dropping the wine basket.
“You were never marrying me, Claire. You were marrying my bank accounts and my empire,” Dominic said, signaling his guards forward.
