Dominic's car stopped in front of hallies club. He rushed down from the car with a nose mask on so he won't be recognize. There was at least fifteen people waiting on a cue to get in.
"Fuck" he cursed under his breath. If Chantel end up sleeping with another guy then he is going to lose it. What if someone sees her? She is carrying the label of 'HIS WIFE' on her. If the news gets out, then it's going to affect the company and also his name.
He tried calling her number again but no one picked. Is she kissing another guy again? He ruffled his hair roughly knowing he might go crazy from now on and the cue is taking too long. Seconds feels like hours.
He left his spot and walked towards the bouncer in charge. "Hey can I go in?" he asked. This would be the first time he would ask for something this politely.
"No, stay in the line" The bouncer rejected the guy on mask.
"No I need to get my wife. I won't take long" Dominic said but the guy ignore him.
Dominic took of his mask to reveal his identity. The bouncer gasps recognizing his face. He is one of those dangerous rich business men who sometimes come here to discuss business.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you sir" The bouncer apologized.
Dominic put his mask back on and enter the club. His both hands were tucked into his pocket and his cold eyes scan through the crowd. There are smoke everywhere, Light fluttering as the rogue people kept on dancing to the wild music.
Spotting someone familiar, Dominic head there immediately. He yanked the figure arm to look at her face but it was someone else. "Sorry, I thought you were someone else" he apologized and made to leave but the girl held his hand back.
"You look handsome, wanna fuck me tonight?" she asked seductively with her hand on his chest. Dominic pushed her with much force causing her to fall on the table behind her heavily.
"What the fuck!" The lady exclaimed. People around the spot look at them but Dominic doesn't care. He wanted to break the arm she used to touch him but decided to push her instead. His eyes return back in searching for Chantel and finally spot her staring at him drunkenly in some feet away.
"Demon?" she muttered, beside her was Laila and Matilda. They actually find her a minute ago and plan to take her home that was when they saw the scene of a guy pushing a girl who tried to flirt with him. They were surprised by his cold move.
"Mr Dominic" Laila blinked severally unsure if the masked guy is really him.
"Is that really him cus he definitely look like him?" Matilda muttered while holding the lady trying to keep her eyes opened.
Dominic walked towards them then remove his mask while staring at Chantel only.
"You came.. Haha.. I knew you would" Chantel said playing with his chest. Her friend want to stop her but Chantel went ahead to play with his lips too. "Why do you look so cute tonight" she chuckled.
"I'll take her from here" He said pulling Chantel to himself. Her face collided with his chest and she look up with her eyes half opened.
"You smell nice too" She mumbled as he lead her out of the club with his face covered.
By the time they got back to the mansion, Chantel was fast asleep. He carried her in a bridal style and walked into the mansion. Sofia saw this and smiled secretly. Getting to her room, Dominic dropped her gently on the soft bed then wait to stare at her face for a while.
'I kissed a random guy at the club' He closed his eyes remembering her word. Is she planning to ruin him? Taking a deep breath, He stood and left the room.

(NEXT DAY)
"Good morning Madam" Sofia greeted Chantel as she walked down the stairs with her eyes half close. She just woke up and her eyes feels so heavy. She was hungry, her head banging resulted from the hangover.
"Morning Sofia" She greeted back. She turn back after taking two steps. "Who bought me home last night?" she asked.
"Master did" she replied.
"Dom? He came? How did he know where I was?" she frowned then gasps when she remembered how she called, her words and her action. "I must be crazy" she mumbled.
"Where is he?" she asked.
"Master left already. I prepared a hangover soup for you madam. I'll bring it now" Sofia said and made to leave.
"No don't!" Chantel quickly stopped her. She still do not trust anyone in the mansion. Must especially that Demon. "I'm I'll be leaving soon anyway"
***
"He did that?" Laila eyes widened.
"yeah I was so surprised too" Chantel muttered.
"I actually thought he will be mad at you cus.. you were so drunk last night. How come your alcohol tolerance reduce?" Matilda spoke.
"Maybe because, it's been long I got wasted" Chantel sighed. She sure did a wrong thing last night.
"Right Chant, did you see the news?" Laila asked.
"No, I couldn't find my phone this morning. What's with the news?" Chantel replied.
CHANTEL MCCHARTY'S MANAGER SPOTTED AT THE SILVER COMPANY. IS THE MURDERER PLANNING TO COEME BACK?
Chantel scoffed seeing this. This is definitely Yulia's work.
"Are you planning to go back? I've missed watching your show" Matilda pouted.
"Same here.. I wanna scream your name down the stage again Chant" Laila said while Chantel could only sighed.
***
Chantel was about to open her car door when a tiny voice made her halt.
"Chantel!!!!" She recognize the voice. Oh no.
She hide her face and began to walk away as fast as she could.
"Don't you run from me Chantel!!" the voice made her stop and she slowly turn back just to see angry Rana glaring at her.
"Hey, how have you been?" Chantel asked awkwardly at the short lady who look like an angry bird.
"We need to talk" Rana said folding her arms.
After a while, Rana spit back her drink into her cup. "What do you mean you don't wanna go back? You said the runway is the best place for you. Why the change of heart? Why did you even leave without even telling me? I almost lost my senses because of you Chant" she said worriedly.
"I don't belong there. People get hurt in the industry mostly because of me"
"Bad people gets hurt and you are just trying to defend yourself. Same thing happened with Juliana..
"I went too far on her case Rana.. exposing that secret lead to a lot of criticism, hate speeches and even led to her family disowning her. She died because of this and I indirectly killed her"
Rana dropped her cup with a loud thud. "Oh my God Chant, this is not your fault, you were only trying to defend yourself. What if she had succeed in taking your life in that accident she planned for you? Do you think she'll feel sorry?"
"I can't go back Rana and that's final" Chantel stood up to leave. After taking two steps Rana spoke.
"When you left, I found Kyle and Yulia making out"
"Huh?" Chantel halt and turn to look at her.
"I tried to tell you but you left and shut everyone out, They don't deserve a pity Chant.. Kyle and Yulia had a scandal that they were both dating each other. You and I know that those two have been cheating behind your back but you don't wanna accept it" Rana said while Chantel eyes flickered with something dangerous.
"There are a lot of people who wants to pull you down Chantel" Rana added.
"I know and that's why I left I'm tired of that world.. where there's no peace.. I want to live my life in a different way from now on"
"That world is meant for you. I know deep down, you wanna be on the runway again having people screaming your name down the stage while you give them surprises"
Chantel knew she was right but going back there would make some people think she's a coward "I'm fine this way Rana, don't try to persuade me Rana. I've made up my mind" she said and turn to leave again but..
"Juliana didn't commit suicide" Rana said causing Chantel to halt. She turn her head back unsure of what she just heard. "And I have proof.. it's not a clear one though.. but it's definitely something that will change your mind. That's if you're in Chant. I can't do this without you"
***
Getting home, Chantel pulled her dress to the last pieces and dipped herself into the warm water. Her mind drifted to the word Rana said. She had sacrificed a lot to Kyle and yet he broke up with her because of the critisms. Is Kyle really with her rival she hated so much? Could Juliana's death be a murder? If yes, who is behind it? Why was she killed?
"sigh.. so many question" Chantel groaned.
She got out from the tube, wore a short and crop top as usual and head down the stairs. Her gaze land on her phone laying on the table. She dialed Rana's number, in which she picked immediately.
"Hello Chant" Rana's voice sounded through the phone.
"Hm, I've thought about it" She stated walking out of her room with a glass of wine.
"So.." Rana asked with a anxiety in her voice.
"I'm in"
Those two words were enough to make Rana scream out her lungs. Chantel quickly move her phone away from her ear.
"Fuck! Chantel I love you!! How I wish I'm right there with you to give you all the kisses in the world.. All you have to do is dress hot tomorrow okay, trust me your comeback will be awesome" Rana said.
"hmm.. I'll see you tomorrow then" She spoke calmly before ending the call.
Dominic showed up at that moment with his business suit on. She bit her lips looking elsewhere with her eyes close remembering what she did last night. How could she have told him she kissed another guy? And even told him she wasn't wearing any underwear?
She made to talk but he walked pass her without giving her a look, his eyes still cold as usual. Is he still angry with her? She watched him go upstairs without a word.
"Why must he be so cold" Chantel scoffed. She went towards the couch to sit. It won't be cool if she doesn't apologize for her behavior last night.
After twenty minutes Dominic was done freshening up, He came out wearing a comfortable home dress. Spotting Chantel on the couch in the living room, He frowned. Did she wait for him? Well he doesn't care cus he is so mad at her right now.
Dominic couldn't help but take in her outfit. She must be serious when she said she love walking around half naked. Fuck! She's hot with those curvy body. Her ass gat that perfect shape a man would drool over. He could feel his sexual urge rising.
Sofia could only smile as she watch her master stare at his wife.
Noticing she was about to look his way, Dominic avert his gaze and head towards the dinning room.
'He is out chantel.. you can do this. Just say you're sorry and then leave' she thought standing on her feet.
Sofia serve his meal then leave with a bow. Chantel took a deep breath before walking to sit before him. Her gaze was placed on the man eating with a chilling aura around him. He is definitely upset with her.
"uhm.. mm About last night…"
"I don't want to hear it" He cut in coldly.
'Jerk' Chantel cursed inwardly. Sighing, she decided to say it anyway. "I'm sorry"
Dominic stop eating immediately he heard those words. Did she just apologized?
"I didn't kiss anyone last night and I was definitely wearing an underwear. I was not close to any other man. Sorry I troubled you" She spoke looking elsewhere. The word came out real hard.
Dominic return back eating without a word. Chantel frowned looking at him. Even after all those speech, this man decided not to reply?
A loud thud was heard as Chantel bang her both hands on the table and stood. Dominic look up with his eyes widened. "Hey! Do you know how much pride I lost just to apologize to you and yet the best thing you could do was to ignore my speech? Who does that? Who do you think you are? Some cute handsome billionaire? You're not a man to me! You're not even as pretty as my ass, how could you just ignore my apology. Yunno what, I take it back so screw you!" She snapped, she took a deep breath after speaking.
"Are you done?" He asked causing her eyes to widened.
He is not just cold but rude too?
"Not a man?" Dominic scoffed dangerously.
"Just that night you were calling me cute and that you'll love me to fuck you for the night. It is kinda weird you are comparing me to your ass. I should take a look, don't you think?" Dominic asked with a naughty smile.
"Huh?" Chantel could not finish processing his words when Dominic swiftly stood and grab her hand. The next thing he did shocked her to the bone.
Dominic grabbed her ass, draw her close to himself and crashed his lips on hers. His teeth nibbling her lips harshly..
