Grace looked at him nervously as his expressions suddenly changed. She was still scared of him, afterall it can't change overnight.

Dominick saw fear in her eyes and tried to relax, he doesn't want to scare her as she has started talking freely with him recently.

His eyes roamed on her, she was looking pretty in that dress. He walked towards her and gently pulled her closer.

Grace gulped when he did that. She wanted to push him away but she was reluctant to try his limits. She can't do it just like that, she was being careful while talking back or pushing him away. He didn't like it when she did it before.

Dominick pecked her lips and neck. He was feeling happy today, after all he executed his plan successfully.

"You were saying something?"

He mumbled on her neck.

Grace tried to avoid sparks which erupted in her body.

"Yesterday Rafael gave me that letter, he said dad is waiting for me outside."

She said and Dominick was listening to her calmly.

"But he lied... And___"

"And what"

He nuzzled in her neck. His hands were wrapped around her waist firmly.

Grace licked her lips. She was afraid that he might get angry, may be he will kill Rafael. She doesn't want to be a reason for someone's death but she is not stupid enough to risk herself. She knows that if Rafael can do that thing then he won't hesitate to do it again.

Dominick is the only one who can protect her now even if there is no one to save her from Dominick. But she will try to lesser her enemies.

He kissed her earlobe.

"Beautiful"

He looked at her adoringly.

"It's a wedding gift."

"I don't need it"

She said nervously. She knows that it's expensive and wasn't in a condition to accept gifts from him.

"But it needs you"

He Smirked pecking her lips.

He went to grab his coat and she looked at the window glass. She touched her ear and small smile appeared on her lips, it was beautiful. The feminine erge to flaunt it was Irresistible.

Dominick came out and saw her smiling, he didn't disturb her.
