ELARA'S POV
Maybe stepping back into Dominic Kane’s life was never the dangerous part.
Maybe the real danger was remembering how much power he still had over me.
The silence between us stretched heavily after his words.
“You go nowhere without me knowing first.”
I stared at him.
“You don’t get to control me.”
Dominic didn’t even blink.
“I think I do.”
Anger flared instantly inside my chest.
“This marriage isn’t real.”
His jaw tightened slightly.
“Publicly, it is.”
I hated how calm he sounded.
Like this arrangement didn’t emotionally destroy both of us.
Like five years ago meant nothing.
I tightened my grip on my suitcase.
“You don’t own me.”
Something dark flickered across his face at that.
Then his eyes dropped suddenly.
Straight to my wrist.
And everything changed.
