Luna's POV
Dominick came out of the study, his expression stormy. Immediately, Damian began to walk away, but he stopped in front of his brother, a desperate look in his eyes.
"Are you really going to do this to me, brother?" Damian asked.
"You knew what was going on between Dad and Sol. You knew he was abusive to Elle. You tried to blackmail me and joined a meeting behind my back. So yes, you're out!" Dominick barked, his voice echoing with finality.
"Still," Damian pleaded, "you're being too much. We're the Phoenix family. How can you chase us out of our own Mafia?"
"Watch me," Dominick replied coldly. His eyes met mine briefly, softening for a moment before he glanced back at Damian. "I hope you weren't disturbing my wife."
"Wife?" Damian chuckled, a bitter edge to his laughter, but Dominick ignored him and walked past him to me.
"Are you alright?" he asked tenderly, contrasting sharply with the anger he had just displayed.
