CEO's lover
red face with the stubble. - His father came to me to talk about a marriage agreement. I swallowed hard. Seriously? A marriage!? - Dominic in getting engaged to you, according to our rules, but
't exactly a secret, considering I had to insert that idea into my mother's mind so she could help manipulate the whole situation in favor of what I wanted. I had many variables that I needed to control at the same time: my father's ambition for the billions of dollars (and another part in Euros) that Kate would inherit at twenty-one, something that her father was not fully aware of or he would never agree to marry her, balancing Jack's desire to have my future wife's money and finally, hiding her from the enemies who knew that she was Michelle Rodriguez's heir.

If he thinks there's something more, that will be a huge problem. - Maybe this is the ideal time to tell him that you're not the only one
