She’s mine

She’s here

Just as Alessia was trying to process Dominic's proposal, a commotion at the entrance of the rooftop bar caught their attention. A tall, slender woman with piercing green eyes and long, curly brown hair strode towards them, her high heels clicking on the floor.

Dominic's expression turned icy, his eyes narrowing as he watched the woman approach. "What are you doing here, Sophia?" he growled, his voice low and menacing.

Sophia smiled, her eyes glinting with amusement. "I could ask you the same thing, Dominic," she replied, her voice husky. "I see you're still pursuing your...hobbies."

Alessia's eyes darted between Dominic and Sophia, sensing the tension between them. Who was this woman, and what was her connection to Dominic?

Dominic's eyes flashed with anger, but he seemed to be keeping his temper in check. "Sophia, this isn't a good time," he said, his voice even.

Sophia's smile grew wider. "Oh, I think it's the perfect time," she said, her eyes locked on Alessia. "You see, Dominic and I have...unfinished business."

Alessia's heart skipped a beat. What did

Sophia's eyes seemed to bore into Alessia's soul, as if searching for something. Alessia felt a shiver run down her spine, her instincts screaming at her to be cautious.

Dominic's expression turned even darker, his eyes flashing with anger. "Sophia, leave her alone," he growled, his voice low and menacing.

Sophia's smile never wavered. "Oh, I'm just getting started," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "You see, Alessia, Dominic and I have a... complicated history."

Alessia's eyes darted between Sophia and Dominic, sensing the tension between them. What kind of history did they have?

Sophia took a step closer to Alessia, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Let's just say that Dominic and I have unfinished business," she said, her voice husky. "And you, my dear, are right in the middle of it."

Alessia's heart skipped a beat. What did Sophia mean?

Alessia's mind was reeling with questions as she tried to process the confrontation between Dominic and Sophia. What was their connection? And why did Sophia seem so determined to cause trouble?

As she watched Sophia sashay away, Alessia felt a sense of unease settle in her stomach. She didn't like being in the dark, and she certainly didn't like being caught in the middle of someone else's drama.

Dominic's eyes locked onto hers, his expression unreadable. "I apologize for that," he said, his voice low. "Sophia can be... persistent."

Alessia raised an eyebrow, her skepticism evident. "Persistent?" she repeated. "That's one way to put it."

Dominic's lips twitched into a small smile. "I assure you, Alessia, Sophia is not a threat," he said. "At least, not to you."

Alessia's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with questions. What did Dominic mean? And why did she get the feeling that he was hiding something from her.
