Chapter 2

I clutch my arm–numb, screaming pain–and force myself up off the floor.

The ones who shoved me are a pack of bodyguards in black suits, surrounding a man who just strides in like he owns the place.

He walks straight to Sienna, voice low and concerned.

‘What happened? I heard someone was bothering you. Who the hell has the nerve?”

Nearly six–foot–three, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, devastatingly handsome–yeah, he’s hot.

yra turns back, shooting me a provocative look.

Dominic follows her gaze, his eyes cold and calculating as they settle on me.

swallow my anger, trying to stay reasonable.

“Let’s see how much you cry and beg when Dom really dumps you.”

“Marrying into the Ashfords? She should be thanking her lucky stars. She’d never dare back out.”

Watching them team up on me with their whole superior act, I just smirk.

Exactly! Let Miss Beaumont blow off some steam. Just deal with it and move in already.”
