Mila returned to the mansion an hour later, her steps slow, her mind restless. She walked toward her room in a daze.
'What kind of secret mission was he talking about?' The question kept coming to her head.
The fear lingered. But another question tormented her.
She hadn't forgotten what Dominic had said.
'The woman will come to you on her own.'
Her steps slowed. A chill ran down her spine.
'Did he… plan this? Did he deliberately put that boy in danger… just to make it happen?'
Her heart tightened.
"No…" she whispered, but doubt had already taken root.
'It's just a child. How could he do that?'
Anger surged. Her hands curled into fists.
"I need to talk to him."
Without heading to her room, she turned and strode toward the master bedroom. Without knocking on the door, she pushed it open and walked in.
Dominic was on the phone. He turned immediately, his brows drawing together when he saw her expression.
She looked furious.
"I'll call you back."
