Chapter 48
Dominic
I watch the silhouette of my wife race through the property, heading towards the gate. With each step, my heart is carried further and further from me.
Despite how much I longed for her to stay, I know she needs to leave. I betrayed her, and now she needs to deal with it in her own way. Without me.
Even though she doesn’t want me, I won’t leave her unprotected. Dropping my gun, I call the only person I know who can track her from afar.
After grumbling about his brothers constantly interrupting his sleep to find their women, Bash agrees to surveil her. Contrary to what I had predicted, my morally-sound baby brother didn’t put up a fight or even scold me for stalking my woman. I worry that we’ve been a bad influence on him.
After that’s settled, I sit in the chair facing the window and stare out of it. Despite knowing the improbability of her returning, I don’t close it in the hope that she does. All through the night, I watch the window. And when the sun rises, I head to my office.
At the sight of Vova on my desk, my heart beats again. For the first time since finding my wife halfway out the window, I can breathe. Because if she left her cat, then surely, she’s returning.
I drop in my seat, cat in hand, and pull up all the info Bash sends me. It’s time to see what my tiger is planning.
