Chapter 48
Dominic’s POV
"You’d throw it all away for her, wouldn’t you?"
Richard Bennett’s words echoed off the walls of my office like a challenge. He stood there with a commanding presence as if he owned the room, and me.
I did not bother to hide the irritation flashing in my eyes. “Is that why you are here? To question my choices?”
He smirked, the kind of smug expression that used to make me bite my tongue out of respect, but not anymore.
“Questioning your choices implies you have made any worth questioning,” he replied condescendingly. “This is not about choices, Dominic. It is about your complete disregard for everything we have worked toward.”
I leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms. “You mean everything you’ve worked toward. Let’s not pretend your interest in me or my pack has ever been selfless.”
His smirk faltered, and I knew I had struck a nerve. He recovered quickly, though, stepping further into the office and closing the door behind him. “Selfless or not, my investments have made your pack stronger, and your position more secure. I have helped you maintain control, Dominic, while others in your position have crumbled under pressure.”
“And for that, I have repaid you in full,” I countered. “Every deal, every contract, every cent of your so-called investment — I’ve upheld my end of the bargain. Don’t confuse business with personal loyalty.”
He narrowed his eyes, his tone hardening. “It’s not just about money. It is about Olivia.”
