Alice Anderson

Next Morning

"Alice, what are you saying?! How could you lost what took you 3 months to get?! Are you saying, after working so hard to get hold of that card, you lost it without any traces?!!" He bombards me with questions. He looks so upset right now. 

"Dom, please calm down. I can explain" 

"Explain what? This is not you, Alice. What happened?" He hissed and roughly ruffle his hair out of frustration. I could tell he was 
getting frustrated already. 

I blamed myself for this. This is all my fault. I asked him for a chance to explain myself and yet, I couldn't find the right word to use. At this point, he is not the only one disappointed, I'm also disappointed at myself for being so careless with something that treasurable. 

"Are you two talking about this?" A cold voice said behind me. I slowly turn around and end up widening my eyes in horror the moment my eyes locked with his deep ocean eyes. 

It's him! He's the bastard that took the card from me. 

"Y.. yo.. you!" I pointed an accusing finger at him. He passes me a wicked smirk and walks past me before slamming the gold card on Dom's desk.

"This.. this is the girl you've been praising all this while? She isn't even capable for fuck sake! She doesn't worth all the praise!" He burst angrily. 

Okay, what's going on? Who is this guy and how, did Dom get to know him?

"Dom, who is he?" My curiosity getting out of me, I asked confused.

I watched as a deep sigh left Dom's lip.  "He's my son, Alissa. Ken.., Kenneth Domanco" He answered before taking a seat.

Shit! 

Whenever he calls me that name then, I know something is not right somewhere. And, the fact that he has a son still amazes me. He never told me he has a devil called a son somewhere.

I look at him, shocked. "You have a son?" I asked. "And, you never bother to tell me about him? We never hide things from each other Dom, but you decide to keep this away from me? Why?" 

He has always treated me like a daughter. We're like a father and daughter just that, when it comes to work... We become boss and employee. We always share thoughts and now, finding out about this is still...... Shit! I can't believe this!

"Alissa, I'm sorry, okay? He was part of the reason I asked you to come over to the house today. Plus, you left home 2 months ago because of this mission. I wanted you to come back home also." he said and I furrowed my eyebrow in confusion. 

"Alissa, I'm stepping down from the throne. My.. my son will be taking over now. And also, I have one more announcement to make. You two will be getting married in two weeks" 

"What?!!!!" We both exclaimed at the time. 

I let out a nervous laugh "Dom, you're... You're joking right?" I questioned as my heart skipped a bit.

"Dad! What the fuck are you talking about?" Ken glared at his father.

"No, I'm not Alissa. This is my wish and I want you to grant it"

"Of course, I can't grant such a wish and you know that! First, you announced you're stepping down out of blue and now, I am to get married to him? Why are you stepping down when you're still fit?" I bombard him with questions.

I want to believe this is all a dream but I'm wrong, It's not.

"I need a break, Alice. I'm getting old. Plus, if there's anyone I trust with my son and the empire right now, then it's you. You've been in this with me for a very long time. considering how he has been away for so many years, he still lacks behind on so many things and I needed someone to back him up. Look, Alice, I need you to be by his side at all times. He needs you the most at this moment." He stated in a soft tone whilst I stare at him stunned.
