Chapter 256

Vespera manned the helm, but didn't dare; she was too embarrassed to ask Dominic for help. She still hadn't decided what to do next. Now, she had to face him in this humiliating situation where her ex-husband was clinging to her. Est of anger, she tried to pull her hand out of Luke's grip, but he had a death hold on her. His fingers were clamped down so tightly that the veins in his hands bulged. She felt even stronger and assumed it was because she cared about what Dominic thought. He scoffed at the idea of her falling for that man, casually glancing at their hands locked together as he poured himself a cup of tea.

“Does it make sense for you to be forcing her like this?” Dominic asked Haily.

“That’s none of your business,” Luke fired back. “Mr. fheid, why don’t you speak for yourself? Does it make sense for you to be…”

Vespera snapped, shooting him a furious glare. Her breath was erratic, her anger palpable.

“Are you upset just because I said something about him?”

“Extremely upset. Who do you think you are, talking shit about him?” she sneered. “If you say one more word about him, I’ll promise to make you see how low you’ve become. Why are you trying so hard to win his favor?” Luke taunted.

“The lowest person on earth, Luke. You’re a heartless and selfish scum,” she said, her voice calm but cold. “He’s the bright moon in the sky, and you’re nothing but a piece of shit laying on the ground. You have no right to talk about…”

“171) Tell you what I can do if you piss me off. I’ll do just about anything,” she threatened, her voice low. “I know about Tina.”
