Chapter 2: The Thief Who Stole A Life
Chapter 2
Fourteen years later,
"Are you sure that you want to leave?" Dominic looked at the young woman who was holding her duffle bag in her hand and asked with a frown, "Abby is not happy with your decision to leave."
Inez blew the strand of hair that was determined to make her lose her temper and replied, "I am only going for a few days. It’s not like I will not return and you said that it’s nothing serious; Abby will be fine, right?"
She didn’t know how many times she had asked Dominic this question, and every time the man would look into the horizon before answering her that everything was alright.
And just as she expected Dominic looked at the far end of the room before nodding. "She will be fine."
Though she knew that the man was lying, Inez didn’t push him. She knew how touchy Dominic became when it came to his sister.
She pursed her lips before popping a chewing gum in her mouth. She said, "Then I don’t see the point of changing my plans, Dom. My grandma is sick and I need to go; I don’t know whether I will see her again or not."
At the mention of her grandmother, her eyes turned red and Inez sighed thickly.
Fortunately, Dominic got the message and he nodded with a stiff neck.
"Then you should go and see Abby; she was asking for you," Dominic told her.
