Lucas went silent on the other end of the line. It wasn't the order that stunned him. He had carried out far crueler commands without blinking. What unsettled him was the realization that Dominic had grown attached to Mila, and this attachment would soon transform into love.
It was a danger sign Lucas couldn't ignore.
"Is it necessary?" he asked carefully. "Those guys have been punished already. They were banned from the bar."
He thought it was enough for what they had done. But Dominic wanted a more severe punishment.
"This is not enough," Dominic snarled. "They dared to harass women. They will do it again in other places if they aren't punished severely."
Lucas recognized that tone. Once Dominic decided something, no one could change it.
Lucas exhaled with resignation. "You are getting emotionally attached to her."
Dominic didn't respond. That silence confirmed everything.
