Chapter 4 - THE MAN WHO THOUGHT SHE WOULD RETURN
Dominic had never lived alone.
Not truly.
There had always been staff.
Security.
Business associates.
And Eliza.
Even when they barely spoke, she was there.
A light in the study.
Music drifting from the kitchen.
A book left open beside the bed.
Now the penthouse felt enormous.
And empty.
Dominic walked into Eliza's dressing room.
Her favorite coat was gone.
So were her everyday shoes.
Her jewelry box remained.
He opened it.
Inside were the earrings he'd given her on their first anniversary.
The bracelet from their third.
A pearl necklace from their fifth.
Everything expensive.
Everything he'd used to apologize without changing.
He closed the box.
Then noticed a small photograph tucked beneath it.
Their wedding day.
Eliza laughing.
Dominic smiling.
He barely recognized himself.
