The Accountant

She was definitely not enjoying the sight. She was not informed beforehand of the strippers' presence and the supposed to be bachelorette's party. She didn't approve yet she also didn't want to disappoint Dinara. The girl was Godsend. Always cheering her up. And the taste of freedom was heady.

Not an ounce of regret was coursing through her. If ever there was, it was the thought of Dinara and Lizzie being punished because of her.

She will fight Dominic tooth and nail for that. Oh yes, she will. If only he'll show up.

Except that she hadn't seen him since he dragged her, caveman style and locked her inside her hotel room. That was fucking hours ago. Where did he go?

Surely, he wouldn't kill those entertainers. Right? Dominic may be dominant and arrogant but he was never a violent man.

He had never raised his voice. Not even once. And he was always indulgent and amused towards her. Always...loving?

Beau grimaced. He was not loving last night. All he did was shove her in the room and left without a word.

The sun had risen and she was dressed in her cut off shorts and a Micky mouse black t-shirt ready to go home.

Home. Where was home? To her cottage of course. It was so fucking confusing how her heart rebelled at the idea of leaving Dominic but...

What does she really want? These past few days made her think. A lot. Her previous normal life was not that normal anymore. Her plans had ripples and undercurrents she had miscalculated.

Falling in love was not part of the plan and she had. She could never take it back. It fucking felt like drowning and she doesn't appreciate it one bit.

Where the hell was Dominic? They need to talk. Why was it so quiet? Her ears were buzzing from the silence.

Last night was really a disaster. She knew Dinara was just trying to cheer her up and now the girl was being punished within an inch of her life.
