Book:More Than Lust Published:2024-6-25

Author’s POV
“Wife?!… Are you fucking married?”
Grace looked at Dom shocked.
Dom scowled.
“No!”
Alex chuckled.
“Future wife, i meant…”
Grace wiped her mouth with tissue.
“I am not interested in getting married…”
Dom said in dismissing tone and started eating his breakfast.
“And you are already married!”
Bella mumbled to herself.
“What did you say?”
Dom looked at her.
Bella chuckled.
“Aren’t you already engaged to Natasha”
Grace raised her eyebrows but still tried to hide her reaction.
Dom still noticed it and smirked. He thought may be it will be a great way to avoid Grace.
He is also distracted which is not good for both of them.
“I said i am not interested in Marriage… I didn’t say that i am not interested in Natasha…”
He said and everyone looked at him.
Alex frowned and Bella looked at him confused. Grace tried not to be jealous. She didn’t know that he already have Fiance.
“Dom?”
Alex looked at him questioningly and Dom shrugged unbothered.
Bella looked at Grace and her attempt to ignore this conversation, she can clearly see the uncomfort on her face. Her mind might have forgotten him but heart still beats for him. Bella felt bad for her and kicked Alex’s foot under the table.
He looked at her confused and she mouthed him.
“Do something!”
Alex sighed.
“Dom but last time you___”
“Hii everyone”
Dom closed his eyes and internally cursed when he heard Natasha.
Grace tilted her head and saw tall and beautiful girl in short black dress. She was looking stunning with beautiful features and elegant smile on her face.
“Natasha?”
Alex acknowledged her presence and Grace’s eyes snapped towards him when she realised that she is Dom’s Fiance.
Her heart sank when she realized that Natasha is a sexy and beautiful girl like every guy desire, on other hand Grace looks cute.
“Good morning everyone, Dominick?!”
Natasha smiled nervously.
Dom released a deep breath, he wasn’t expecting her to be there at this moment but now he have to play along with his lie.
“Hii, beautiful… How are you?”
He smiled and Natasha gave him confused look.
“Umm?… Good!”
She answered looking at him confused, this is not the Dom she met last time. She knows that he is not interested in her.
“Actually I am here to cancel the contract as our___”
Dom quickly interrupted her before she expose him in front of Grace.
“Forget about it… We’ll do that later… Come, have breakfast with me.”
Natasha couldn’t understand anything.
“Grace! Shift to Raan’s chair… This is Natasha’s chair.”
He looked at Grace and Bella clenched her jaw.
Grace didn’t show any disapproval and played it cool.
“Sure… I am done here anyway…”
She got up looked at Natasha.
“Sorry, i didn’t mean to take your place… I was unaware…”
She said but Dom understood the actual meaning behind her words.
Natasha smiled.
“No problem”
Grace forced a smile and walked back to Dom’s room.
Natasha sat on the chair and looked at Dom.
“What’s going on?… I am here to cancel our engagement agreement…”
“I know.”
Dom rolled his eyes taking off his sweet facade.
“The girl you saw just now is the sister of Russian mafia… They don’t need to know that we are breaking the alliance.”
“You kidnapped Grace Volkov?!”
Natasha said horrified.
“Do you even know the consequences of this… You are putting all of us in danger…”
“I have it under control… Don’t worry”
Alex assured.
“We just want to meet vladimir and this is the only way… But i expect you to keep it secret”
“Insane!”
She shook her head.
“Anyway… Please read the papers and sign it.”
“Not now!”
Dom declared.
“We have to wait until we talk to Russians…”
Natasha frowned.
“Excuse me!… I am not playing this game anymore!”
“This is for Italian mafia and as it’s member you are also responsible to perform your duties…”
Dom ordered.
“As your king… I order you.”
Natasha sighed.
“Fine!”
“I am done here!”
Bella said disappointed and walked away with her daughter.
“Your morning looks dramatic, My lord.”
Dom frowned at the man who just entered the dinning room.
“Good morning, Mario..”
Alex sighed.
“Dom, he is my friend… He is here for some business… He’ll be our guest for some days…”
Dom nodded.
“I hope you are enjoying your stay here.”
“Yes… I Loved the hospitality… Thank you!”
Mario said with smile.
Mario is a young man with brunet hair and honey brown eyes. Tall and with lean body. But dressed in suit.
“Sorry i am late for the breakfast…”
He sat beside Alex.
“Hello beautiful!”
He looked at Natasha and she smiled at his charming smile.
“Hii… Myself Natasha!”
She extended her hand for handshake.
Mario kissed her knuckles instead.
“Beautiful name!”
Dom rolled his eyes at Mario’s flirty ways and stood up.
“Enjoy yourself…”
He said and walked away.
He was walking towards his room when he saw Grace coming out.
“Where are you going?”
He asked.
“Library”
She answered and walked passed by him.
Dom looked down towards her when she went downstairs and clenched his jaw when he saw Mario in the living room.
Pang of insecurity hit his heart.
