Dominic chuckled. "I'll be in my room. You can go in and keep an eye on her. Go on."

There was a pause on the line. "My wife was in a car accident, and it was deliberate. It happened last night."
Bella's heart raced. Was Simon implying that Dominic had someone do that? She found it hard to believe.
Dominic had no reason to do such a thing especially not for her. Besides, she and Domine had just returned from

Displeased, she responded, "A person like you has probably offended countless people. Think it over; who else
