Chapter 8

For several days, I convinced myself that I should do what Dominic told me to do or leave as he always wanted. Of course, leaving was always an option, but I don’t think I would be able to find a similar place that could provide me with food, shelter, and security.

“What do you mean I have to buy our groceries?” I asked him after hearing his announcement that I should go out to buy our stocks.

“Stop asking questions, Marian. Instead, go and get ready so that I can drop you off at the supermarket before going to work,” he announced.

“Just me?”

Dominic raised his eyebrows at me and narrowed his eyes at me, and then he said, “Look, if you can do the simplest task of buying groceries, then why the hell should I keep you here?”

It had always been his rebut whenever I had to question him, and oddly, I was getting tired of it. So first, I glared at him for being unreasonable, and then before my emotions would get the better of me, I gave him my sweetest smile.
