  • And because of the annoying chimes of her phone, she has switch it off for a moment of peace but end up falling asleep.
  • She did not wake up until Dominic is standing in front of her, as she glance her face up, Bellamy flinch up quickly.
  • “You are back?” she sounds drowsy.
  • Dominic keep a calm face and looks quietly. He glance observantly at the sitting room and wonder if she has done nothing but sleep all day.
  • Bellamy notice his eyes looking around and remember she had eaten few snacks while she force herself to watch the television.
  • She turn around quickly to clear and squeeze the wrappers in her hands, making noise with it. She turn to him with an apologetic countenance.
  • “You really are bold” Dominic says as he casually lounge his hands in his pocket.
  • “Yesterday, it’s the kitchen you messed up. Now it’s my living room” he states.
  • Bellamy widen her eyes a bit hearing what he has just said. Last night, she thought she cleaned up herself.
  • Does that mean all that mess…he cleaned it all up?
  • She gaze in disbelief at him, refusing to believe he would do such a thing. He would rather wake her up and scold her so much to the point she get teary.
  • It has happened in the past.
  • With his temper, it is hard to believe he would tolerate what she did last night.
  • “I’m sorry Mr. Knight, I was just feeling so hungry I couldn’t stop myself” she apologize and his eyes settle on her.
  • He take his hands out and rubs his temple slightly, a act that says he is trying to control his emotions and stop himself from scolding.
  • Dominic takes out a debit card and hand it to her, Bellamy stares at it before taking the premium card and wonder what purpose it is for.
  • “Doing your time here, you will use this money to take care of yourself” he tells her.
  • “If you need anything, just tell me rather than ransacking my kitchen” he said a bit stern and Bellamy nods in apology.
  • As he turn to leave, she remembers his message and the test she did earlier. Wondering if he has forgotten about it, she wait for him to enter his room before doing the same.
  • But he halt halfway and turn back to remind her to get ready to get checkup by the doctor tomorrow morning.
  • Bellamy’s heart skip nervously as he says that and she wonder if she should inform him about the test she did.
  • Will he end their contract and find someone else because she has failed?
  • She wonders anxiously and did not say a word of response to him, causing him to scowl as he glares at her.
  • “Did you hear what I just said?” he inquire.
  • “Hum” she manage to slip out and he walk away.
  • Bellamy heaves and sit back on the sofa still holding the trash in her hand, she feel unease in her heart and hope tomorrow will bring good news.

  • Dominic’s face creases as Jasper informs him of John’s unavailability. He has receive a sudden call from his father to come to Newport where they are.
  • He clinch his hand on the table wondering for what reason his father might have ask for John and turn to Jasper to find out.
  • ‘Already on it” Jasper respond almost immediately.
  • Dominic nod and turn to focus on the important works in front of me but sees Jasper still standing there.
  • “What?” he ask a bit irritate.
  • “What about the test? Are you still going to do it?” Jasper ask inquisitive.
  • Dominic take a breath, slow, deep.
  • He lift his hand to his temple and rubs for a moment before deciding.
  • “Tell John to hurry up and be back tomorrow morning” he instruct and Jasper nod like he already expect such response.
  • Bellamy watch the time with an unease mind waiting for the time he would call her to go take the test but lunch time, she still isn’t called to his office.

  • It is not a known fact to the public that the international youngest and most successful actress in Atlantic country is also the princess of the Knight Family.
  • Bellamy have meet her while working with Dominic and thought at first that perhaps they are dating but then find out they are siblings.
  • “Miss. Annie, you don’t look good” Bellamy observes as she gets close.
  • Annie remove her goggles seeing no one else is around and her face looks quite stern, still beautiful even without her make-up.
  • “Is my brother in?” she asked in a hoarse voice and Bellamy feels worry.
  • Even though Annie is his sister, Bellamy knows he hates anyone walking into his office without being notify so she quickly inform Annie that she need to call to tell him.
  • Annie put back her goggles, ignoring Bellamy, she push the button of the door open and walk in as Bellamy tries to call her back.
  • Taking a heavy breathe down, knowing she is going to get scold, Bellamy decide to forget about Lunch and wait for Annie to come out just in case she is needed.
  • “Annie?” Jasper calls surprise to see her.
  • “I thought you are in Rose-line shooting a movie” he asks.
  • Annie pause and remove her goggles again, casting a bitter glare at Dominic who stare at her unbothered.
  • “I broke an actor’s nose, so they kicked me out” she reply nonchalantly still glaring angrily at her brother.
  • Jasper nod, not surprise at the story of her beating up someone. It is not the first time that she would loose her temper and make a mess.
  • “How could you ignore your sister when she is in trouble?” she ask Dominic angrily.
  • She has called him back in Rose-line to help deal with the scandal leaking out but he has ignore her calls.
  • “Because of him, I had to call Dad. I even called Grandfather” she let out.
  • Dominic’s countenance shifts at what she just said and he glare in an irritated anger. It seem it is because of her that Grandfather has decided to come back home early.
  • We are talking about Gabriel wanting to disgrace her and having an affair but then reveal her relationship with Dominic
  • Annie pull back her glare seeing the irate look on his face and pout knowing what she has done wrong.
  • Grandfather has been on Dominic’s neck to get married and bear an heir for the family but now because of her trouble, she has make him come back to Atlantic.
  • “It’s your fault. You shouldn’t have ignored me” she pushes and Dominic’s gaze become harder.
  • Seeing she is just upsetting him further, Annie walk out of his sight to sit on the comfortable couch in the office while Jasper chuckle watching the two.
  • “By the way, Your secretary Belle, she has a strange familiar scent” she point out casually and Dominic brows squeezes.
