Chapter 2 - Dominic Stops Matteo From Shooting Khloe
Dominic Costello raised a single, gloved hand to halt his lead enforcer in his tracks.
The four bodyguards froze instantly, their index fingers remaining tense against the trigger guards of their concealed firearms.
“Put the weapons away,” Dominic ordered, his deep voice cutting through the terrified silence of the restaurant like a razor.
Matteo blinked in utter confusion, lowering his pistol a fraction of an inch while staring at his boss.
“Boss, she just assaulted Miss Kensington and ruined her designer dress,” Matteo whispered urgently.
Dominic didn’t look at his bodyguard; his slate-gray eyes remained locked entirely on Khloe’s trembling frame.
“I said, stand down, Matteo,” Dominic repeated, his tone dropping into a dangerous, chilling register.
Vivien shrieked from the floor, her platinum hair plastered to her face with warm garlic butter and tears.
“Dominic! Are you out of your mind? She’s a fat, clumsy nobody who just attacked me!” Vivien wailed.

Dominic stepped slowly over the shattered glass and puddles of wine, closing the distance between them.
