Domenic stood outside the door, eyes lowered.
He had unraveled the reason behind Lindseys one-night stand with him, ensuring no one kept an eye on her at any time.
Consequently, he remained unaware of what had transpired between her and Sumner.
Avoiding thoughts about that night, Arturos words lingered, tormenting Domenics mind.
Since his parents passing, he had become increasingly paranoid, cautious, and indifferent, for fear of the abyss awaiting him should he falter.
After their crazy night together, he tirelessly sought her, concealing his identity as he approached her. He dispatched individuals to clandestinely monitor her every move and report back.
He was resolute in uncovering her motives for approaching him.
He was accustomed to employing every means necessary to learn about anyone he desired to understand, a behavior he acknowledged as abnormal yet couldnt rein in.
Lindsey insisted that she and Sumner were merely friends. He knew he should believe her, yet an unsettling sensation akin to a thorn in his heart left him suspicious- a sensation he hadnt experienced in a long time.

Lindsey withdrew her slightly reddened wrist from his grasp, feeling a pang of unease, yet she brushed it aside and proceeded with her shower.
On the balcony, Domenic leaned against the railing, phone in hand, and dialed a number, commanding in a hushed tone, Keep watch on Lindsey. Report everything to me promptly.
After her shower, Lindsey emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, drying her wet hair. Stepping into the living room, she found Domenic behind her, his arms encircling her slender waist.
He nestled his head into the fragrant hollow of her neck, unfazed by the water droplets adorning her skin.
Mr. Walsh, let me go. I I havent changed my clothes yet,
Lindsey protested, her cheeks flushing. Domenics warm breath teased her chilled skin.
Instead of releasing her, he gently caressed her neck, tenderly. Can I sleep with you in my arms tonight?
A prickling sensation tickled Lindseys neck, causing her to tilt her head slightly, her face flushing red.
They had recently affirmed their relationship. Was this pace too swift for them to share a bed?
Dont worry. I wont do anything. I just miss you terribly since its been so long,
Domenic murmured beside her ear in a soothing, low voice.
Softening, Lindsey nodded, saying, Okay. After I change my clothes, Ill come to your room.
Alright. Ill wait for you, Domenic replied, kising her shoulder before releasing her.
