Chapter 99

• DOMINIC
• I was livid. I did everything to cocktail the anger growing like weed in my body to no avail. They had to pay! What was so appalling about a woman being CEO? The paper crunched in my fists as I paced around the hallway. Raina was capable and if they were so insistent on a man being so closer to the peak, I was her fuckign COO, and I could even attest to her competence, sentiments aside. I mean the woman left her hospital bed, just to make it to a stupid meeting with wolves on the hunt for blood, her blood.
• I tried to wrap my head around it, but no matter how I spinned the narrative, it made no fucking sense. The pressure was unnecessary to put things lightly, absolutely useless and uncalled for. And her gender was never a problem until Jonah showed up. But it couldn't possibly be because of him, could it? It wouldn't even be right, professionally or family wise. Raina had poured her sweat into the company regardless of her gender, and she was the one who had to endure years of jumping from one orphanage to the other while I lived the lavish life she fell asleep to every night.
